**Chapter 377: Sarutobi Hiruzen Panicked!**

For two entire days, Orochimaru and Reiki sat in Tsunade's courtyard, with Reiki seemingly lost in thought. His calm, motionless demeanor started to worry those around him.

"Is Reiki-kun okay?" Kurenai Yuhi asked, concern evident in her voice as she looked toward the courtyard.

"He's been sitting there for two days," Shizune replied, her worry mirroring Kurenai's. "Orochimaru-sama is with him, so it must be something important. Still, it's hard not to be concerned."

T...

**Chapter 16**

Satoru stood with his usual bright smile, completely oblivious to the deepening glares around him. Uchiha Fugaku let out a low snort.

Hmph, you troublesome kid, he thought. Just wait until we get home.

That sentiment was silently echoed by everyone present. Whether they bore the Uchiha or Hatake name, they all shared the same resolve: If I don't make him regret this, I'm not true to my name.

"Haha, without this kid's antics, I wouldn't ...

### Chapter 186

The Third Hokage didn't react at all to the fact that his appointee had been removed from command. Clearly, he recognized just how incompetent the person he had chosen had been. As a result, Orochimaru had seamlessly stepped into the role, managing the camp's affairs and issuing orders without resistance.

When Shinki entered the command center, he planned to compare the setups of the River Country camp and the Rain Country camp. However, as he stepped in, he froze mid-t...

**Chapter 376: Black Zetsu Is Not Dead Yet, Reiki’s Troubles!**

Uchiha Madara, now resolute with the answers he had uncovered, wore a faint smile on his lips. In a blur of motion, he leapt to the top of a massive tree, watching as the traces of Reiki and Orochimaru's presence gradually faded into the distance.

"Hashirama, maybe I've finally figured out our true purpose," Madara muttered, his voice calm yet determined. "But I still have time to make things right. Just wait for me."

Madara's lips curled into a brighter smile. "And when th...

**Chapter 15**

"Haha," Uchiha Fugaku allowed a rare smile to tug at his usually serious features as he faced the Third Hokage. His eyes drifted to the Uchiha trio and Satoru, his gaze a mix of confusion and reluctant amusement. What are these boys up to today? he wondered. It seemed as though everything had been turned upside down by his mischievous son, Satoru.

Meanwhile, Satoru had stepped off the stage and made his way backstage to find Teuchi, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen.

### Chapter 185

At the mention of Orochimaru, Tsunade's irritation flared. 
"It's because the person the old man assigned is utterly useless—a fool who caused the deaths of so many. That's why I support Orochimaru taking charge. This is completely different from his experiments." 

"I've noticed that casualties have dropped significantly since then," Shinki remarked. 

Say what you will about Orochimaru's dark tendencies, but his capabilities were undeniable. This man was...

**Chapter 375: Amazing Results—Madara Agrees to Reiki's Request!**

Uchiha Madara's mind was in turmoil after using his Rinnegan to probe Black Zetsu's memories. The truth he uncovered left him utterly stunned. 

The once indomitable aura of the legendary Uchiha Madara seemed to waver, his eternal kaleidoscope eyes dimming under the weight of realization. His once-proud and heroic spirit had been replaced by a deep desolation.

With a loud thud, Madara dropped to his knees, his expression a mix of anguish, regret,...

### Chapter 184

Tsunade's expression changed. She sighed helplessly, saying: 
"The two elders are currently being hunted by the Third Kazekage."

Was there really such a fortuitous event?

Orochimaru's eyes lit up with intrigue. 
This guy... noticing the change in Orochimaru's pupils, Shinki was certain that Orochimaru had conducted some strange experiments since arriving at the front line. His altered eyes were undeniable proof. 

It wouldn't be long before Orochim...

**Chapter 14**

"No! I can't eat anymore!" Sasuke groaned, slumping forward over the table. He felt as if he had eaten all the ramen he would ever need in his entire life. Though Ichiraku ramen was delicious, he simply couldn't take another bite.

Uchiha Itachi, who had held out just a second longer than his younger brother, put down his chopsticks. Pride dictated that he last longer than Sasuke, even if only by a moment. This was the dignity of an older brother.

Kakashi, who never took the...

**Chapter 374: Black Zetsu is Exposed!**

Uchiha Madara was not inherently a bad person, but his life experiences had made him overly sensitive and distrustful. 

He had finally found a true friend in Hashirama, only to discover that they were from rival clans. Then his brother was killed by Hashirama's brother. He was later betrayed by his own clan, and ultimately, he "died" at the hands of his best friend. 

Now, Reiki was telling him that his most trusted companion, the so-called incarnation of his willâ...

**Chapter 373: Uchiha Madara’s Invitation**

Soon after, Uchiha Madara opened his eyes. His Rinnegan shone with power, and an invisible wave of pressure spread throughout the room. The sheer force of his aura destabilized the barrier that Reiki had set up. 

Indeed, the might of the legendary ninja demon was terrifying beyond words.

### Chapter 183

Shinki and Tsunade walked side by side, their conversation casual but tinged with the seriousness of war.

**"It's still the same,"** Tsunade said with a frown. **"A full-scale war like this won't end in a day or two. Unless something drastic happens, it could drag on for a year or more."**

She glanced at the figure slung over Shinki's shoulder. **"By the way, who's this?"**

Shinki adjusted the unconscious person in h...

**Chapter 13**

He wouldn't actually announce our names, would he? Kakashi felt a headache coming on as he spotted his old friend, Gai, in the crowd. Is there anything worse than this? he thought grimly.

Itachi's presence exuded a faintly simmering aura, one that hinted at suppressed frustration. What should I do when my brother is unruly? The answer seemed to settle in his mind: A good lesson is in order.

The four of them exchanged glances, sile...

**Chapter 372: The Root Lies in the Magical Effect of Immortal Jade**

In the original timeline, Uchiha Madara chose to manipulate Obito for several reasons: 

First, Madara was dying and needed a successor to carry on his will. 
Second, Obito was a member of the Uchiha clan, sharing the bloodline. 
Third, Obito had successfully integrated Hashirama's cells into his body. 

Now, with Reiki standing before him, displaying mastery of unique medical ninjutsu and possessing potions that could heal even his damaged body, Mad...

**Chapter 12**

What's going on? An ordinary ramen contest, and the Hokage and two clan patriarchs show up? The crowd in the venue buzzed with shock and curiosity. How had this seemingly insignificant event attracted such important figures?

Kakashi and the others shared the sentiment, their confusion mirrored in their expressions. The Uchiha trio looked at the Third Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku, feeling as if their hearts might stop. Why are they here?

"Wow! Grandpa Hoka...

### Chapter 182

The explosion's intensity sent shockwaves through the area.

*"Boom!!!"*

With a deafening sound, Pakura and the figure she was protecting were hurled away by the blast. The sudden explosion left the captain and another team member in utter shock—they hadn't anticipated the puppet's self-destruction.

Pakura, caught in the explosion at close range, was flung across the battlefield, landing heavily on the ground. Her head buzzed as she struggled to process what...

### Chapter 181

The battlefield stretched across the River Country, leaving scars on the land and its people. Villages lay in ruins, and the air was thick with the lingering stench of death. The only safe haven for the civilians was the Daimyo Prefecture, a sanctuary untouched by the chaos of war.

### The Daimyo's Untouchable Sanctuary

The Daimyo Prefecture represented a universal bottom line, a sacred boundary no village dared cross. Even the most ruthless among the ninja villag...

**Chapter 11**

Shisui had heard stories about Itachi's younger brother, Satoru, so he wasn't particularly surprised by the boy's eccentric behavior. Naruto, on the other hand, didn't overthink it—he simply admired his new friend's apparent power.

Kakashi observed Satoru with a mix of curiosity and wariness as they made their way through the busy streets and alleys, taking three turns to reach the ramen contest venue. He navigated so smoothly, Kakashi thought. This kid's perc...
