Chapter 238: Orochimaru: Who Wants to Fight a Traditional War with You!

In the chaos that engulfed Sand Village after the puppet attack, Ebizo's calm demeanor was the only thing keeping the village from completely falling apart.

"Intercept those puppets immediately," Ebizo commanded with authority. "Even if we have to pay the ultimate price, we must stop them."

Through his experience and reports, Ebizo knew that Konoha's attack wasn't aimed at mass casualties—it was destruction. Buildings, symbols of strength, and infrastructure were the prim...

Chapter 237: Give Sand Village a Reminder

Ever since their camp was decimated by Konoha's airdropped puppets, Sand Village had lived in a state of perpetual fear. The possibility of Konoha replicating the same devastating attack in their home village loomed heavily over their leadership.

The Third Kazekage and Chiyo had tried to bolster their defenses by stationing more sensory ninjas to detect incoming threats. But their efforts were futile.

The Problem of Defending a Village

While deploying...

Chapter 236: A Man With Money is a Real Man, A Man Without Money is a Real Mess

"Fifty million? You think you can dismiss me with fifty million?"

The Third Hokage's thoughts were clear—this demand wasn't just about puppets; it was a challenge to Konoha's position. The sheer arrogance of offering such a sum for restricting such a decisive tool was insulting.

The Hokage glanced at the gathered Kage, realizing something important. The puppets belong to Shinki. The restrictions are on Shinki. And the compensation? That's Shinki's.

For the ...

Chapter 235: 500 Million Per Village? Why Don’t You Go and Rob Them?

"The Raikage's powerful Lightning Release techniques are well-known throughout the ninja world. The strongest spear, the strongest shield—legendary, aren't they? Yet no one is asking the Raikage to strictly prohibit their use in Kumogakure," the Third Hokage said sharply.

He turned his gaze toward the Mizukage. "As for you, Mizukage… your village boasts strong Bloodline Limits. Do I even need to list examples?"

The Mizukage raised an eyebrow, remaining silent. The room ...

Chapter 234: The Third Hokage Attacks the Four Kage

"It all depends on how determined the Kazekage is," the Third Raikage said with a sneer. "Looking at him, though, it's obvious he won't see this through. If Konoha puts a price on the table, I think we can negotiate."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Onoki frowned. "Are you suggesting we compensate Konoha? That's absurd."

"Of course," the Third Raikage replied bluntly, giving Onoki a look of disdain as if addressing a fool. "If you want to pressure Konoha, you need to make i...

Chapter 233: Hokage, Do Your part, and I'll Do Mine

"No way! I will never agree to such an unreasonable demand!" the Third Hokage exclaimed, his voice heavy with anger.

The Five Kage Summit had clearly been orchestrated to target Konoha. The demands were outrageous and non-negotiable. Even if it meant facing unified opposition, Konoha wouldn't bow.

Onoki and the Third Raikage remained silent, their expressions impassive. The Third Mizukage simply shook his head, unwilling to intervene. As for the Third Kazekage, he sat smugl...

Chapter 232: The Puppets’ Damage is Comparable to That of the Tailed Beast Ball?

The Third Kazekage spoke with a serious tone:

"Let me be clear—this type of attack causes catastrophic casualties. While wars between ninjas are inevitable, they should not endanger innocent civilians. Konoha must cease using such puppets on the battlefield, and certainly must not deploy them into enemy villages for self-destruction missions."

In the lounge next door, the tension was palpable. All eyes turned to Shinki. Even Rasa, who had been silently sitting in a corner...

Chapter 231: The Hokage of Our Village Really Doesn’t Have a Very Good Eye

Cloud Village and Iwa Village had always been at odds, constantly causing trouble for one another. Their relationship was akin to fire and water—hostile by nature.

Ai (A), however, didn't expect Shinki and Kitsuchi to engage in sarcastic banter, completely ignoring his attempts to join the conversation.

"Why is the tension rising between them?" he wondered, his face showing his growing frustration.

Meanwhile, Yagura observed the scene with great interest, while Rasa...

Chapter 430: Kill Kabu and Threaten Losca!

Kabu's barrage of attacks grew monotonous as he realized something.

"This is boring," he muttered, glaring at the figure of Reiki lying on the ground.

Initially, he had been excited, expecting a good fight, but all he got was someone who seemed to just take a beating.

"You're too weak. I don't understand why the higher-ups even care about you…" Kabu sneered. "And what's with that strange energy of yours? Why aren't you using it?"

His disappointment was palpabl...

Chapter 429: Encounter with Kabu!

Three days passed without any action from Reiki, much to the relief of the other ninja villages.

If Reiki, a mere medical ninja, continued to challenge them and come out on top, it would deal a serious blow to their reputations. While the Kages might stand a chance against him, the thought of anyone else failing would be a humiliation too great to bear.

Fortunately for them, Reiki seemed to have stopped, which made them suspect that this was not some elaborate scheme by Kon...

Chapter 428: Reiki's Name!

"Reiki, when did you master tailed beast transformation?"

"And did you actually go to Takigakure to capture the Seven-Tails, Chōmei?"

"Aren't you supposed to be a medical ninja? Why are you fighting like this?"

"My waist…"

As Yagura approached Reiki, he let his curiosity spill out in a flood of questions.

It wasn't just Yagura who was curious; Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, who had just arrived, were also intrigued.

"I'm not a tailed beast jinc...

Chapter 427: Reiki Transforms into a Tailed Beast and Defeats Yagura Violently!

After hearing Orochimaru's words, both Jiraiya and Tsunade turned to look at him.

The three of them had interacted with Reiki in the past. Orochimaru had even tried to recruit Reiki, though his offer was rejected.

"His medical ninjutsu shouldn't just be handed over to Tsunade."

"There's no trace of Tsunade in that technique at all."

"Tsunade, what you should provide is an environment where he can practice steadily and improve."

"This kid has always relied ...

Chapter 426: 9-7, Reiki’s Battle Training

"Why do I feel that the tailed beast in my body has developed a better relationship with me?" asked a surprised Roshi.

"I feel the same way. It's as if the tailed beast's hostility has vanished," he added, reflecting on his newfound harmony with the Fourth-Tailed Sun Wukong.

Unlike the strong bond between Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails, most jinchūriki struggle to coexist peacefully with their tailed beasts. Many beasts resist fiercely, their volatile natures clashing with...

Chapter 425: The Key!

Just as Reiki was about to press his hand on his abdomen to isolate the tailed beast chakra, the energy within him suddenly destabilized, surging uncontrollably.

If not for Reiki's precise mastery over his abilities, the "room" created by his surgical fruit would have shattered under the strain.

Immediately activating his Sage Mode, Reiki reinforced the "room" to stabilize the environment.

"What is this…?" he murmured, perplexed. He prepared to isolate the Rinnegan ...

Chapter 424: Breaking the Seal of the Rinnegan!

Otsutsuki Hagoromo regarded Reiki with a satisfied expression. Within Reiki's body, he sensed the power of his own bloodline, a testament to the effectiveness of his ancient preparations.

"How do I extract this key?" Reiki asked, his tone firm. Despite his best efforts, the peculiar energy in his body remained elusive, resisting his attempts to manipulate it into the form needed to unlock Otsutsuki Kaguya's seal.

"Accept the power I grant you, and then—"

Hagoromo pa...

Chapter 423: Otsutsuki’s Past

Ishiki waved his hand, opening a crack in space before disappearing from sight.

A sinister laugh echoed in the darkness.

"Heh heh..."

Kabu grinned, baring his white teeth. The smile on his face was hauntingly unsettling.

"Time to get to work! Target: the controller of White Zetsu and Konoha's medical ninja Reiki!"

As Kabu spoke, the bandages wrapped around his body began to flutter ominously. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the shadows, leaving be...

Chapter 422: Sunshine Minato, Ishiki in the Shadows

After a long silence, the shadows of the four great ninja villages turned their gazes toward Namikaze Minato.

"Hey, hey, why are you all looking at me like that?" Minato asked nervously, scratching his head.

Truth be told, he was feeling out of his depth. Minato still couldn't fully grasp the intricacies of Reiki's mind. A part of him even thought he became Hokage solely due to Reiki's unseen guidance. Yet, because of Reiki's young age, he dismissed the thought. Now, after ...

Chapter 421: The Reconciliation of the Five Great Ninja Villages and the Birth of the Ninja Alliance

Black Zetsu's attitude left the Third Raikage, Onoki, and Rasa stunned. Initially skeptical, they began to consider the implications more seriously.

Meanwhile, Yagura had already taken a seat next to Namikaze Minato, eagerly inquiring about the details of joining the Ninja Alliance. Young and ambitious, Yagura found it easier to connect with someone like Minato, who radiated a similar youthful energy. Their conversation soon became harmonious, highlighting a shared vision.

**Chapter 50**

After the Boulder ninja departed, Naoya Kuchigi looked at Satoru with a complicated expression.

He had heard every word exchanged between Satoru and the Boulder ninja, and it left him pondering.

Is that why he was chosen for the Shadows?

Satoru's ability to accurately anticipate danger, his keen intuition, his logical and brilliant mind, and his extraordinary insight—was this the sum of his talents?

Naoya Kuchigi shook his head. No. Satoru didn't just...

**Chapter 49**

Satoru's sharp observations stunned more than just the light-haired ninja who had been exposed.

Kiyota Sato, who was fighting nearby, was also taken by surprise.

He's too sharp. 

He figured out the truth so quickly?

Before Sato could process it further, the enemy took advantage of his distraction and attacked swiftly.

The sword slashed dangerously close to his forehead, grazing his hair.

Sato quickly snapped back to attention and stepped back, n...

**Chapter 48**

As the smoke cleared, the ninja who had launched a sneak attack fell to the ground, his body unmoving.

A hint of surprise crossed Kiyota Sato's face as he observed the scene. The image of the immature teenager he had seen moments ago instantly shattered. 

He seemed... different than I imagined.

The light-haired ninja on the other side was also taken aback.

He hadn't expected this young imp to have such skill. 

But still, he was confident. This wa...

**Chapter 47**

Their mission this time was simple: just deliver the scroll to the designated target. As for the rest, they didn't need to worry about it. So, the atmosphere within the team remained relatively relaxed.

Naoya Kuchigi, who had been leading the group for some time, suddenly spoke as he observed the surroundings.

"It's going to be an open field ahead, so everyone should rest and replenish their strength here."

Hearing this, the group began to take a break and replenish t...

**Chapter 46**

*Konoha, Hokage's Office*

Hiruzen was working through the pile of papers on his desk.

At that moment, Kakashi and his team entered to report on their mission.

Sarutobi looked up, surprised. Along with them was a strange ninja.

"Hokage-sama, this is A, a former member of the Root," Kakashi explained quietly.

"Root?" Sarutobi asked, confused. "You went on a mission and brought a member of the Root with you?"

Something felt off. Sarutobi's inst...

**Chapter 45**

"Shing! Shing!"

Countless shuriken flew toward the giant snake's eyes, aiming for its vulnerable spot.

"Roar!"

The serpent let out a violent cry. The pain and danger caused it to thrash wildly, its massive body writhing in agony.

In its struggle, the serpent inadvertently exposed its Achilles' heel—the spot just behind its seven-inch mark, a critical vulnerability.

"Found it!" Kakashi's voice carried a rare hint of excitement.

"This is it!"

"...

**Chapter 44**

"A, what are you still doing in a daze?" a Root member called out suspiciously when they saw A still frozen in place.

"Hurry up, keep up!" they urged. "Kill this traitor who's a fellow Root ninja!"

"A?" The voice grew more insistent. "Are you going to betray the Root? Betray Danzo-sama?"

A stood still, confusion clouding his thoughts.

Danzo-sama? Root? 

Was everything Danzo-sama said truly right?

Why was it that, as Konoha's Root, they were orde...

**Chapter 43**

He drew his sword and swung it forward swiftly.

"Bang!"

Kakashi drew his own sword from behind his back and parried the strike. 

A look of surprise crossed his eyes. "What are you doing here, A?" 

Is he really going to kill us?

Was I wrong to trust him?

In response, A raised his sword again with a sharp motion.

"Didn't your companion already guess it earlier?" A slashed his sword, his eyes cold.

Struggle flashed through A's mind...

**Chapter 42**

"It's Danzo-sama."

"He also wanted to investigate Orochimaru's research facility on his own, so he sent the Root."

Kakashi looked up at A, who remained silent on the other side.

The gaze from under the mask briefly shifted away, but he met Kakashi's eyes without saying a word.

The silence lingered for a long time, and neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Kakashi's muscles tensed, and he helplessly raised his head to look at Satoru, who was pacing back and fort...

**Chapter 41**

After Satoru and Kakashi left the Hokage's office, another person arrived soon after.

The person who entered was none other than Danzo.

He walked in slowly and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you found Orochimaru's stronghold?"

Although this question seemed directed at the Hokage, the affirmative tone suggested he already knew the answer. He had likely known about the exposure of Orochimaru's stronghold for some time.

Sarutobi didn't mind his attitude. He u...

Chapter 230: Do Guards Not Need to Enter the Meeting Room?

Shinki addressed his summoned beast, Jinya: "From now on, you and Black Fang will stay here in the waters around the Land of Whirlpools. There's plenty of food for you to hunt, but be careful not to stray too far. Mist Ninja patrol these seas with warships. If you run into them, you might end up as snake soup."

Jinya and Black Fang, with their high intelligence, understood basic commands well. As they matured, they grew smarter and more obedient compared to human children, who we...

Chapter 229: It’s Just a Threat—Who Wouldn’t Do That?

Although Shinki genuinely wanted to use puppets in warfare, the real issue was simple: What I want to do is my business. It has nothing to do with you, right?

These guys, however, decided to convene a Five Kage Summit just to target me?

Fine. Let them talk all they want. Whether or not I agree to their demands is my decision.

"I will always accept these unreasonable requests," Shinki said mockingly. "Hokage, convey my attitude to the leaders of each village. ...
