Chapter 110

"All of Konoha's elite troops were decimated. You can't deny that, right, Chiyo?"

"Yes," Chiyo admitted.

Although the intelligence they gathered was limited, it was true that Konoha's elite forces were ambushed by Iwagakure, and the well-trained team was wiped out in one swift strike.

Seeing Chiyo's serious demeanor, Huang Tu continued:

"When I led our forces to surround and eliminate Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Hatake Sakumo, and other notable young talents of Konoha,...

Chapter 109

"Ahem."

Nara Shikako's expression turned slightly awkward. "Yes, Tsunade-sama recently seized a batch of supplies..."

"This batch of supplies isn't related to the camp, right?" Shinki interjected.

"Uh... no, it really isn't," Shikako admitted with a strained smile. "But the Hokage authorized funds to acquire these supplies, which were then sent to you, so..."

"I see."

Just when Shikako thought Shinki would relinquish the supplies, he surprised her by raisi...

Chapter 108

The little yellow-haired boy's template was also based on Senju Tobirama, as he was destined to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, unlike Nawaki, the training template for the little yellow-haired boy was more challenging.

To learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, three requirements were essential: talent for space-time attributes, mastery of sealing techniques, and exceptionally quick reflexes. These were non-negotiable prerequisites.

Was it really that stra...

Chapter 107

The bodies of the fallen lay in the morgue, while numerous injured soldiers were treated in the medical room, having been brought back from the battlefield.

The second lesson in experiencing the harsh reality of war was about to unfold here.

After making necessary preparations, the two children followed Shinki to inspect the ward.

They saw many wounded soldiers—some in relatively good condition with intact limbs, while others were severely injured with missing arms ...

Chapter 106

"Good question," Shinki said, snapping his fingers. "The reason we chose the Land of Rain is because Rain Village has been increasingly restless. After the First Ninja World War, while most villages focused on recovery, the Rain Village seized the opportunity to grow. Their leader, Hanzo of the Salamander, is powerful and ambitious. He aims to elevate the Rain Village to be on par with the five major ninja villages."

"The leader of the Rain Village wants to become the Rain Shadow...

Chapter 105

"Ahem."

Shiro approached the old ghost and whispered, "The dark-haired boy is Tsunade's younger brother and a disciple of Jiraiya. The blond one is a disciple of Master Shinki. They both want to go to the battlefield, so Master Shinki sent them here to experience the reality of war."

"Do they need special treatment?" the old ghost asked, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

Hissss~~~

When the mask was removed from the old ghost's face, Nawaki and Minato Namik...

Chapter 104

"Tsunade sent me a message. She said you two were eager to go to the battlefield, is that right?" Shinki said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"No, definitely not!" Minato Namikaze shook his head vigorously, feeling a chill run down his spine at the sight of Shinki's smile. He pointed discreetly at Nawaki, silently blaming him for the whole idea.

What happened to our agreement to stick together? Nawaki's eyes widened in disbelief. How could Minato, with his e...

Chapter 103

"Great! Minato, we're finally going to the front line!" Nawaki shouted, hugging Minato Namikaze as he jumped with excitement.

Kushina watched them with a hint of envy before turning to Tsunade, eyes wide with hope. "Sister Tsunade, what about me? I want to go too!"

"You can forget about it. You're staying here," Tsunade said, gently pushing Kushina's head aside.

If Kushina left the village now, the Third Hokage would undoubtedly be furious. Even Tsunade herself felt u...

Chapter 102

The Third Hokage leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes as he recalled all the details about Shinki. The key to the breakthrough still lay with Tsunade.

Outside in the yard, two figures continuously closed the distance, clashing with kunai that sparked with each collision. They punched and kicked with determined force, testing each other with every move.

Tsunade leaned against the door frame, while Kushina sat on a small bench nearby, leaning on her knees.

"Sister...

Chapter 101

He didn't dare interfere with the Anbu's mission, but he needed to send word to the Third Hokage as soon as possible. Only the Third Hokage could make a decision that would secure the return of all the supplies.

If the supplies couldn't be recovered, the Sarutobi clan would suffer significant losses.

What on earth were the Anbu thinking?

And whose orders were they following?

Tsunade?

The caravan's journey was long, and the Sarutobi generals were unaware of...

Chapter 290: Unemployed Hatake Sakumo!

That evening, Minato and Kushina visited the Uchiha clan. News of the visit, brought by Shisui, left Reiki with a satisfied smile. The Third Hokage's plan to sow discord was proceeding, but with an oversight—Minato's straightforward and open nature.

Minato's exceptional abilities in mission analysis and execution were unmatched, but he lacked experience with the subtleties of village politics. This was why Uchiha Fugaku had been so surprised by Minato's response. Most would sho...

Chapter 289: Fugaku Joins the Mission Team!

Reiki chuckled at Tsunade's astonished expression. "Kushina-sama and Mikoto-sama are close friends. With Minato's personality, do you really think he'd refuse or create conflict?"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed as she processed the connection. The relationship between Kushina and Mikoto, and Minato's respect for Uchiha Fugaku, painted a clearer picture. Slowly, a smile crept onto her face.

"You're trying to get Minato to form an alliance with the Uchiha?" she asked, the realizatio...

Chapter 288: Entering the Whirlpool of High-Level Games!

Jiraiya held the scroll tightly, and Tsunade's slight drunkenness quickly dissipated. As one of the legendary Sannin and a master of medical ninjutsu, she could sober up instantly when necessary.

"What's going on?" Tsunade's voice was tense, her instincts telling her that the scroll Jiraiya had just retrieved was connected to what Orochimaru had hinted at.

"This is a directive from Lord Hokage," Jiraiya said, unrolling the scroll. "He'...

Chapter 287: The Beginning of Mouth Escape!

Minato and Kushina's visit to the Hokage's office began with an extended speech on the Will of Fire that lasted over an hour. By the end of it, even Sarutobi Hiruzen looked slightly bewildered. Normally, he was the one delivering these long-winded speeches to inspire others, but hearing it from someone else was... overwhelming. He realized for the first time how exhausting it could be.

However, given the subject matter and the fact that the speakers were Namikaze Minato and Uzuma...

Chapter 286: Minato Almost Died!

The moment Namikaze Minato was flung through the air, Reiki vanished along with him to ensure he'd be okay.

"Did I hit too hard, Obito?" Kushina looked at her fist, half concerned and half surprised by her own strength.

Obito swallowed nervously. "N-No, sensei is really tough. Master, you can hit him like that anytime." He paused, eyes darting around. "Should I go check on him?"

Kushina's punch had been so swift that Obito's Sharingan had activated unconsciously, yet ...

Chapter 285: Kushina, Transformed into the Nine-Tails!

Kushina glanced at Namikaze Minato, her determination set. "I trust Reiki. He wouldn't joke about something so serious."

Minato met her gaze, unwavering. "Then go for it, Kushina. Trust Reiki and give it a try."

With a firm nod, Kushina began forming hand seals. "Release!" she commanded, and the chakra chains within her body loosened, allowing her to continue.

As she reached the ninth seal, Reiki could only watch in stunned realization. He understood why the Nine-Tail...

Chapter 284: Convincing the Nine-Tails!

As Reiki's hands made contact with the Nine-Tails, a strange energy coursed through him again. It confirmed his previous suspicion—this unique energy seemed to exist within the soul of every tailed beast, as well as in members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans. The exception was Uchiha Obito, a crucial reason why Reiki had brought him back.

With chakra flowing steadily, the energy plaguing the Nine-Tails gradually began to dissipate. After more than an hour, the invasive force was ...

Chapter 283: Target, Nine Tails!

As they wrapped up the day, Reiki handed out resources to Obito, Kakashi, and Rin.

"Obito, you'll come back with me later. Rin, you need more experience with medical ninjutsu, so head to the hospital for practice. I'll inform the teacher," Reiki instructed. "Kakashi, take this time to refine your sword skills and learn from Uncle Sakumo."

Rin sighed. "Lately... it's been hard to get assignments at the hospital," she said with a touch of frustration.

"Ah, I almost forg...

Chapter 282: Proposing to Check Kushina’s Condition, Kakashi's Determination

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, as Minato stepped out of his room, he was met with an ominous atmosphere. Kushina was glaring at him with an intense expression, and her chakra was already flaring.

"Kushina, what's wrong?" Minato asked, perplexed. He turned to Reiki, who was emerging with breakfast, seeking help.

What could have happened overnight? Everything was fine last night, so why did Kushina now look like she was ready to knock him out...

Chapter 281: Party, Talking About Minato All Night!

Returning to the courtyard, Reiki looked at Tsunade, who had a smile on her face.

Reiki recounted all the events that had happened outside.

"Hahaha..." 

"I heard their conversation outside, and I can just picture the dark faces of Danzo and the Hokage," Tsunade said, laughing.

"Teacher, Danzo and the Hokage should be quite busy now," Reiki added with curiosity. "What happens next?"

Since Tsunade had made such a choice, she probably had some plans for ...

Chapter 100

A powerful repulsive force erupted, sending Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Hatake Sakumo flying out of the rest room. The three of them, still drenched in the slug's mucus and exuding an odd smell, were promptly expelled by Shinki, who had no intention of letting them soil the resting area—especially with Orochimaru eyeing him with thinly veiled irritation.

What just happened?

Before they could process their sudden return to the camp, they found themselves airborne, helpless ag...

Chapter 99

The ground was slick with mucus, causing Jiraiya to slip and fall, while Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo managed to stay on their feet. 

Standing before the colossal Slug Sage, Orochimaru remained composed, but Sakumo's eyes widened in awe. He had seen many summoning beasts before, but none of this magnitude.

"Hello, Slug Sage," Shinki said, raising a hand in greeting.

"Hello, little Shinki," the Slug Sage replied, lowering its massive head. The shift in its positio...

Chapter 98

Full of frustration, he snapped, "No, you did!" Shinki's eyes met his with a stern expression. 

"???" Did I evade my responsibility? Did I? Hatake Sakumo was stunned, while Jiraiya looked puzzled. 

"Senior, there is no war without casualties. From the moment we became shinobi, we had to accept this reality," Shinki said, placing a reassuring hand on Sakumo's shoulder. "Dwelling on the past won't change anything. If you believe that the loss of the elite troops was...

Chapter 97

Mitokado Hamura paused, turning to fix a stern gaze on her. 

"I hope you can control your temper before this war ends. Tsunade is not our enemy."

"And what about Hyuga Shinki?"

Koharu Utane's face darkened at being accused of a bad temper. She stood up abruptly. 

"You also agreed to reveal the core secrets of the puppets and their production."

"So what?" Mitokado Homura replied indifferently. 

"Hiruzen is more anxious than any of us. I...

Chapter 96

The Anbu operatives had no idea what their minister, Tsunade, planned to achieve. Nevertheless, once she issued an order, they obeyed without question. Amidst the protests and dissatisfaction, the Hyuga clan elders were locked in the interrogation rooms. After rushing back to the village and quickly understanding the chain of events, the Hyuga clan leader worked to calm the clan members, urging them to stay quiet, avoid causing trouble, and refrain from speaking out.

As soon as h...

Chapter 95

The Hyuga clan leader seethed internally. No privileges? Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are the greatest privilege in the village!

He knew full well that the Third Hokage's instructions were a pretense, a thinly veiled attempt to pressure Tsunade without taking direct responsibility. When they needed support, promises were abundant; when things went awry, the pretense began.

Though the Third Hokage may not have intended to be dismissive initially, the Hyuga clan leader saw ...

Chapter 94

Walking out of the command center, Sarutobi Takashi rubbed his face harshly under the heavy rain, leaving his dark skin reddened from the friction.

How did he end up caught in such a complicated situation?

What he initially thought would be a straightforward task turned out to be a treacherous pit, placing him in an awkward position between powerful figures—neither fully supported nor opposed by any side.

Sigh...

Standing in the downpour, Takashi exha...

Chapter 93

Why did I give up control of the Anbu so easily? The Third Hokage lamented, realizing too late that taking it back was no longer an option. And even if he wanted to, Tsunade would never allow it.

With the Anbu out of his reach, the Third Hokage had no choice but to mobilize ninja teams from the Sarutobi clan to carry out the investigation.

Two days later, three teams of Sarutobi ninjas arrived at the camp in the Land of Rain and found Nara Shikako, the camp co...

Chapter 92

Even though Tsunade hadn't been in charge of the Anbu for long, and despite it being an unconventional move to reorganize the Anbu during wartime, her promotion to Minister brought new regulations.

For instance, the Anbu was now required to report to her for approval before undertaking significant missions, even if the orders came directly from the Hokage's office.

So, when the Anbu received instructions to investigate the Hyuga team's disappearance, they dutifully approach...

Chapter 91

"You… what are you trying to do? You'd better release me, or else… ugh."

Hyuga Xingshi tried to struggle, but his body refused to obey him. Shinki tightened his grip, cutting off any attempt to activate a jutsu.

"Pathetic."

The word echoed in Xingshi's mind like thunder. His pale eyes widened, and he dangled from Shinki's hand, lifeless as a broken puppet.

"Shinki, let him go! Let him go, now!" The branch family members who had come to protect Xingshi were s...
