Chapter 340: Beating Someone Up Is Very Hard!

With the troublesome ninjas defeated, Namikaze Minato swiftly turned the tide of battle against the remaining two enemies. Within moments, he had subdued them, and Rin completed the job by sealing them with practiced precision.

Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shibi approached from the distance, applauding the efforts of the young shinobi. "As expected of Minato's students, defeating Miki! She's a well-known force in the underground world," Choza praised, a broad smile of approval on h...

Chapter 339: Please Talk About Personal Hygiene, Please!

Despite Reiki's comments, Namikaze Minato maintained his composure as he fended off his two attackers. The enemies pressing him felt the mounting pressure as Si Ji, one of their strongest, had already been defeated by three young shinobi.

Reiki, now fully aware of the situation, glanced at Namikaze Minato. The famed Yellow Flash had not used his signature Flying Thunder God Jutsu during the battle. A quick look around revealed the reason—dark, purple-black mist coiled around th...

Chapter 338: Three Defeat One!

Reiki's keen eyes caught the strange dynamic in Namikaze Minato's battle. The legendary Yellow Flash hadn't used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu from the start—an anomaly that made Reiki suspicious. He reasoned that the mysterious man named Gu was likely using a special ability to restrict Minato's movement.

Minato was holding off two formidable foes, while the woman, Miki, relentlessly attacked Reiki's team. If Minato couldn't use his signature jutsu, the battle would become far ...

Chapter 337: Kind Reiki!

Obito's face twisted with a mix of sympathy and uncertainty as he looked at the unconscious forms of Chiyue and Binghuo. They were used to being pushed to their limits during training with Reiki, but seeing it applied to their enemies left Obito uneasy.

"Boss Reiki, what are we going to do with these two now? Should we... just kill them?" Obito suggested, his voice soft, as if seeking reassurance.

Reiki raised an eyebrow at the contradiction in Obito's tone. "How do you sou...

Chapter 336: The Poor Man in the Barrier!

Chiyue, still disoriented from the barrage of ninjutsu, blinked in confusion at Reiki's words. This wasn't an illusion—it was real. She glanced at the three young ninjas standing nearby, each armed with several scrolls ready for use, while Reiki calmly approached her.

"What do you want to do?" Chiyue's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't believe Reiki's intention was to simply heal her; there had to be more to it.

"Don't worry; you'll understand soon enough. Right now, ...

Chapter 335: As Expected, a Surprise Has Come!

Kakuzu, momentarily stunned by the unexpected bounty of wealth and potions, quickly snapped back to reality. He was now the first member of the Jue Organization, a prestigious position that came with responsibility. Reiki's trust in him to complete the first mission perfectly lit a fire of determination within him. Without wasting time, Kakuzu vanished into the night, determined to fulfill his new role.

Meanwhile, Namikaze Minato and his team approached the border of the Land of ...

Chapter 334: The Organization Is Established!

Seeing Reiki's confident smile, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a touch of helplessness. This boy, despite knowing how valuable and attractive his abilities were to the ninja world, never seemed to worry. The black market for medicinal potions had become fiercely competitive, with prices soaring. Even with deep connections, acquiring them was nearly impossible. 

The Sanada Chamber of Commerce, the only entity capable of exporting potions from Konoha, wielded significa...

Chapter 333: Special Reward!

After distributing the potions, the seven-member team departed from the village, heading toward Loulan.

In the shadows, whispers spread.

"A major group left Konoha this time."

"The head of the Akimichi family, Akimichi Choza. [3.1 billion ryo]."

"The strongest insect user of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shibi. [3 billion ryo]."

"Namikaze Minato, being groomed by the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and a likely candidate for the next Hokage. [4.2 billion ryo]."

...

Chapter 332: Rich Preparations!

Over the next two days, Kakashi and his teammates found themselves repeatedly pushed to their limits by Reiki's relentless training regimen. At first, anger simmered within them, then came despair, and finally, a sense of acceptance. Despite the challenges, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin felt a significant improvement in their ability to face larger forces in battle.

"The joint training is complete," announced Reiki. "Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin—victory!"

In their f...

Chapter 331: The Three-Person Group of Grudges!

For a moment, Kakashi grew more relentless. The sword techniques he had learned from Hatake Sakumo were fully displayed as he fought. With dazzling skills and formidable strength, he overwhelmed Machuan and his team.

"Illusion Jizo!"

Suddenly, Yuhi Kurenai appeared before Kakashi. Forming a seal with her hand, the surroundings transformed instantly. Kakashi's vision blurred, and a massive stone statue of Jizo loomed before him, radiating a suffocating aura that immobilized ...

Chapter 150

Kushina couldn't help but burst out laughing, her giggles echoing through the room. Uchiha Mikoto also joined in, covering her mouth as she tried unsuccessfully to stifle her laughter.

Nawaki groaned, burying his face in his hands. You just love to pick on me, huh? he thought, casting a fleeting glance toward the front door. The thought of his older sister, Tsunade, came to mind. On second thought, maybe it's better she stays on the front lines for now.&nbs...

Chapter 149

"It's a bit complicated," Uchiha Mikoto said, forcing a small smile. The topic was sensitive, and while she was highly regarded within the clan and respected in the village, she was still young and held little sway over the clan's major decisions.

Kushina looked at her sympathetically but quickly switched gears when she heard Shinki call from downstairs.

"Kushina, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Huh? Beef!" she shouted back instinctively, only to realize too late w...

Chapter 148

After several days of internal deliberation, the Uchiha clan decided to make a cautious move. Uchiha Fugaku, careful not to act recklessly, sought out Uchiha Mikoto and used her visit as a pretext to approach Shinki.

"No need to be so formal; make yourselves at home," Shinki said with a casual wave before heading to the kitchen for a drink. Returning with a bottle of juice, he took his seat on the couch.

Kushina noticed Shinki's subtle glance and took the hint. Smiling, she...

Chapter 147

The exclusion of the pharmaceutical department left the village's medical system in an awkward position. Mitokado Hamura, after observing the unwavering stance of the Third Hokage, finally resigned himself to the outcome.

"I understand. I will arrange the manpower and ensure the equipment is prepared and sent to the Anbu as soon as possible."

The conditions had been set, and there was little point in resisting. The F4 group, though unified, had a clear hierarchy, with the T...

Chapter 146

Shinki didn't intend to play any tricks with the Third Hokage, and the Anbu members couldn't withdraw first. If they did, the Third Hokage could come up with countless excuses, such as incomplete equipment, to delay. And then, who would Shinki turn to for justice?

It was clear to him—everything had to be straightforward. The equipment needed to be gathered and sent over, only then would Shinki order the Anbu to stand down. This was non-negotiable.

Could the logistics depa...

Chapter 145

Besides, Shinki had already played the trick of "killing a chicken to scare the monkeys" before taking action, which made the Anbu even more reluctant to get caught up in his bad luck.

"Do you have an order to arrest?"

Tiger and Eagle shook their heads in unison.

Their order was to surround the Shimura clan and prevent anyone from entering or leaving. There was no directive to make any arrests, and Shinki hadn't specified one.

They were unsure if there would be any fur...

Chapter 144

Orochimaru, ever prepared, had all the materials set aside, just waiting for Shinki's approval. Now that he had it, he set to work crafting the puppets in no time. Meanwhile, the Anbu's operations department, under Shinki's directive, went into motion.

With dozens of Anbu ninjas, led by captains Tiger and Eagle, the Shimura clan was swiftly surrounded. Seeing the Anbu forces advancing once more, the on-duty Shimura ninjas panicked and rushed to alert their leader.

"Chief, the Anbu...

Chapter 143

The dismissed Anbu members were left with little choice. Despite their desire to remain in the Anbu, they had been branded as traitors and expelled. Even if Shinki didn't officially record their transgressions, their departure was its own form of stigma—proof that they had breached trust, earning them a tainted reputation.

As the ex-members left, visibly defeated, Shinki addressed the rest of the assembly with an air of finality. 

"This is your first and last warning. If an...

Chapter 142

Whether the Third Hokage would be overwhelmed by this or not, Shinki didn't care.

He was determined to secure 200 sets of equipment, anticipating an expansion in the number of Anbu operatives in the near future. Shinki was prepared to launch a wave of rapid growth and operations.

True to the saying, "The leader commands, and the subordinates exhaust themselves," Shinki's directive left the logistics team with no choice but to draft an application to the Hokage's office, detailing ...

Chapter 141

"Tora, why did the Anbu try to take the elders of the Shimura clan?" 

Tora lowered his head slightly and responded, "Hokage-sama, I am just following the orders of the deputy minister. I don't know the specifics."

Not willing to disclose the mission details? The Third Hokage's expression darkened as he regarded his former subordinate.

"I will handle this personally. Return to Shinki and tell him that this stops here."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Withdraw the team."...

Chapter 140

Nara Shikashin contemplated and then shook his head.

"It should be. Shimura Richu was training outside the village. The training spot was near one of the villagers' fields. Hearing commotion in the forest, two villagers went to investigate and were affected by the released ninjutsu."

Nara Shikashin couldn't determine whether it was intentional or not. 

After all, he only knew the general details of the incident. The investigation was handled by the Anbu, with the Third ...

Chapter 139

"I won't give up!" Hyuga Hiashi thought fiercely, his hands clenched tightly within his sleeves.

Meanwhile, back in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokadu Hamura sat in silence, each reading the frustration in the others' expressions.

"It seems the usual methods won't be enough to reclaim the pharmaceutical department," the Third Hokage finally said, breaking the silence.

Mitomon Yan sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yes, that kid—he's young, but f...

Chapter 138

Walking out of the Hokage office building, Hyuga Hiashi's expression was conflicted. "Tsunade-sama, is she trying to win over Uchiha?"

Shinki glanced at him with a smirk. "Who can say what the future holds? But one thing is certain: those who align themselves might fare well, but those who choose to stay neutral will find themselves in trouble."

The blunt statement hit Hyuga Hiashi hard. The Hyuga clan was known for maintaining neutrality, but in the current turbulent climate of t...

Chapter 137

"It's a caravan responsible for purchasing on behalf of the village," the Third Hokage stated vaguely.

Shinki was unfazed and responded bluntly, "I'm sorry, Hokage, but since the outbreak of the war, the Anbu has sustained heavy losses from gathering intelligence and protecting key personnel. We have not yet replenished our ranks."

He continued, "For something as crucial as procuring materials, the village should deploy its own ninja troops rather than relying on a caravan, which ...

Chapter 136

Is it really appropriate to discuss such a serious topic in such a formal place?

The conversation between them grew more intense until the Third Hokage arrived with two of his advisors. The Third Hokage took the main seat, and Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Hamura sat unceremoniously on either side of him.

The Third Hokage scanned the room and cleared his throat. "Since everyone is here, let's begin."

"Hamura, can the supply of materials from the logistics department be guarant...

Chapter 135

"Take it; just think of it as a loan," Shinki said nonchalantly. "When you grow up and can earn your own money, you can pay me back."

Minato hesitated, but Shinki continued, "Boys should always have a little money with them. What if you want to grab a bite to eat or go to a hot spring with friends and don't have the cash?"

"But—"

"No more buts. Just keep it," Shinki said firmly.

Reluctantly, Minato accepted the wallet, silently vowing to work hard, listen to his teac...

Chapter 134

"Don't waste your time. Don't do it for nothing. In the end, you'll just lose face," Nara Shikako muttered as he shook his head, pushing aside these chaotic thoughts and returning to his tasks.

Meanwhile, Shinki contemplated his next move. If the Third Hokage wanted to elevate Hatake Sakumo, why not help him push things further?

With a sly grin, Shinki quickly wrote down his plan, attached the scroll to a puppet crow's leg, and sent it off.

Nara Shikako, noticing Shinki's ba...

Chapter 133

The idea that Shinki couldn't handle the Anbu's affairs was absurd. He returned to the village with accolades and sat in the Anbu office with confidence. Who would dare challenge him?

The body of Hanzo of the Salamander had not even been turned into a puppet yet.

Faced with his senior's pointed question, Shinki laughed freely. "Nothing serious, I just feel like there are too many minor tasks piling up, so I need help."

"You brat." Nara Shikako felt his blood pressure ...

Chapter 132

What a headache...

Shinki, who was pressed down onto a chair by Tsunade, glanced at a document, his brow twitching.

"Why do we have to submit even reports on stalking suspects to the office?"

Tsunade, leaning against the desk, responded matter-of-factly, "To prevent power abuse. The Anbu has too much power, and if not well-regulated, someone could exploit it, leading to major issues."

Shinki was silent; this was indeed a valid concern within the Anbu. Unfortunat...

Chapter 131

Unlike other departments where delays could be excused, the Anbu's operations had to be handled promptly. Otherwise, chaos could ensue. 

"No discussion. Either you take the post, or I do. It's as simple as that," Tsunade said, leaning against the door frame with a calm gaze, hoping Shinki would understand her predicament.

"Or... maybe I should go?" Shinki considered. Staying in the village meant constant interactions with the Third Hokage and the F4 group's scheming. T...
