**Chapter 250: Danzo Strikes Twice!**

After resolving the issue with Qingyan, Reiki rejoined the group.

"Reiki, you…"

"It's fine. That monster retreated on its own."

"Hyuga-sama, is everything okay?"

Reiki glanced at Hyuga, noticing the serious expression on her face. Ever since he arrived, she had seemed troubled—frustrated yet mostly helpless.

"I recognize some of these ninjas," Hyuga said solemnly. "They… they joined the Root organization."

She turned to look at Asuma, rememberi...

Chapter 249: Qingyan Takes Action, The Explosive Hammer Strike!

Hyuga Oyo felt a pang of frustration as he assessed the situation. If he were alone, these five enemies wouldn't pose much of a challenge. As an elite jounin—his strength further enhanced by Reiki's treatments—he could handle them without much trouble. But with Asuma, still just a genin, and Reiki to protect, the situation was far more complicated.

"Go!" one of the masked attackers barked, and the five enemy ninjas launched their offensive. Their target was clear: Asuma, the ...

Chapter 248: Efficiency and Surprise Attack!

Reiki soon sensed the presence trailing him. Without hesitation, he activated the "Evil Ghost" jutsu and sprinted toward Morishita and the team.

"How did we lose him?!"

The leader of the Root squad, Blade, wore a mask of disbelief. Their advanced tracking and perception techniques shouldn't have let a medical ninja slip away so easily. Yet, Reiki's presence had vanished without warning.

"Master Blade, should we continue the pursuit? We know where the team is, but... w...

Chapter 247: Reiki's Choice!

In a dimly lit hotel room, Morishita's expression was serious as he listened to Reiki and Asuma recount their encounter with Beisuke.

"This is your conclusion after making contact?" Morishita asked, disappointment etched on his face. While he trusted the authenticity of the information, thanks to Reiki's unique bloodline ability that could confirm Beisuke's memories, he knew this was not within their current mission scope.

Reiki nodded, a small smile on his face. "Sir Moris...

Chapter 246: Pursuing Contact, Revealing the Truth!

"Beisuke!" the casino owner shouted, frustration edging his tone.

When he had hired Beisuke, it was with the knowledge that he was a traitorous ninja from a major village, a detail that made him both dangerous and valuable. Such ninjas were powerful and easy to control due to their circumstances. But now, Beisuke's behavior was worrying.

"They're not here to gamble. They're here for me," Beisuke said, taking a deep breath and steadying himself.

"For you…?" The casin...

Chapter 245: Pursuit Mission, Perfect Answer!

After completing Uchiha Natsume's treatment, Reiki and his team departed, leaving behind the relieved Sand Ninja. For the first time, despite their injuries, they were grateful to avoid further encounters with Konoha's medical ninja. They had received more treatments in one night than ever before, and each had come with a different reason.

As the group traveled, Asuma's curiosity knew no bounds. He followed Reiki, peppering him with questions.

"Reiki, I've noticed that your...

Chapter 244 Mission Accomplished, The Innocent Sand Ninja!

The factory at the edge of the Zhu Yan Forest had been destroyed by Hyuga as planned. There were only four ninja guards present; the rest were ordinary workers. Hinata efficiently gathered the special papers produced and secured them.

When Hinata and Asuma returned to the designated meeting spot, they found it empty. Puzzled, they moved toward the forest and discovered Reiki treating injured Sand Ninja.

"Reiki said he needed treatment practice," Morishita explained to a stu...

Chapter 243 Reiki: You Need Treatment!

By the time Yashamaru and his group of Sand Ninja reached the Zhu Yan Forest, all the guards had already been defeated. The workers, while spared from attack, had fled in panic—ordinary civilians couldn't be involved in battles between ninjas.

Yashamaru's eyes narrowed as he took in the scene: there were only two people present. One was Morishita, an elite jounin from Konoha, and the other was Reiki, Tsunade's promising medical-nin who had impressed during the Chunin Exams. But...

Chapter 242 Morishita Returns and Leads the Team!

Reiki looked at the new prop in his possession, took a deep breath, and placed it in the system space.

"Now, there are more ways to save lives," he thought with satisfaction. "I should check on Morishita outside."

Reiki lifted the barrier, sensing Morishita's presence outside, closed the panel, and quickly exited the house.

"Everything okay?" Morishita asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's all settled," Reiki replied. "Sir Morishita, didn't you say you would be on long...

Chapter 241 Upgrade, God-Level Reward!

Just as she walked out of the hospital, an ANBU ninja appeared in front of Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, Hokage requests your presence."

The ANBU member spoke politely.

Though ANBU members often exuded pride around others, they knew better than to show any arrogance in front of Tsunade. After all, she was known to take action if provoked.

"I understand."

"Reiki, you go back first," Tsunade said before following the ANBU to the Hokage's office.

Back at the ...

**Chapter 240: Nawaki’s Training – Reiki’s Frustration!**

Seeing Nawaki's confused expression, Reiki almost laughed.

"Brother Nawaki, we all need to get stronger as soon as possible," he said encouragingly. "That way, our teachers can feel more at ease."

"Brother Nawaki has great potential. If you push yourself, you'll definitely improve even more," Reiki continued, noticing Nawaki's slight confusion and choosing to motivate him directly.

"Really?" Nawaki brightened. "I knew it! Since my sister is so powerful, I must have so...

**Chapter 239: Violently Beating Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Cover-Up**

Bang! The door to the Hokage's office burst open with a loud crash.

"Biwaku?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

Under normal circumstances, Biwaku Sarutobi rarely came to the Hokage's office, focusing instead on managing family matters while Hiruzen oversaw the village.

"What am I doing here?" Biwaku's voice was filled with fury. "Dear Hokage-sama, if I hadn't come, would you have hidden the fact that our son was nea...

**Chapter 238: Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Game!**

Danzo's face darkened as the ANBU operatives surrounded him.

"What's the meaning of this, Hiruzen?" he asked, a hint of unease creeping into his voice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gestured for the ANBU to stand down. Once they vanished, he began speaking, recounting everything he knew about the incident.

Despite his doubts about how Reiki, a chuunin-level medical ninja, could defeat a jounin without harm, Asuma's account was clear. Although naive at times, Asuma wouldn't lie abo...

**Chapter 237: The Strongest Support, Asuma!**

When Asuma had rushed out earlier, Reiki had secretly applied a technique to partially counteract the poison in Asuma's system. This was why Asuma hadn't completely lost consciousness.

Hearing the commotion, Asuma had initially wanted to check on the situation. But his weakened legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground, breathless. Crawling over, he overheard the final, damning words of Ji Gu.

Rage surged through him as he realized that his own mentor, a jounin, had commi...

**Chapter 236: Ancient, Root Organization Member, Die!**

Observing Reiki's expression, Hyuga didn't question him further.

He took the antidote Reiki handed him without hesitation.

"Hyuga-sama, you will lose consciousness in three hours," Reiki said seriously. "Remember, don't miscalculate the time."

"Reiki, what's going on?" Hyuga asked, concerned.

Reiki's sudden, cryptic warning after handing over the antidote had made Hyuga uneasy. Poisoning himself seemed drastic, and he suspected there was more to the situation th...

Chapter 60

When the time comes, the Sand Village will be able to send troops into the Land of Rain without opposition. Konoha will be forced into war. The Sand Village had been preparing for this war for a long time. Everything was set; they only needed approval from the Daimyo.

How could they stir the Daimyo's anger and ignite his sense of crisis? The solution was simple. With chaos already in motion, the Third Kazekage didn't have to go to the trouble of fabricating provocations. All he h...

Chapter 59

The truth is, the conflict is far from over.

If it was truly Hanzo's fault, why did he provoke the conflict? Once escalation begins, war can erupt at any moment. When that happens, the first to suffer is the Land of Rain, inevitably becoming a battlefield for the great powers. Is Hanzo prepared to shatter everything and risk it all?

Unable to make sense of it, Shinki shook his head and said, "Akimichi Tofu is right. Whether it's the Sand Village deliberately escalating prov...

Chapter 58

The Third Hokage was furious.

He had stayed out all night, indulging in a bit of freedom, only to be summoned to an early meeting before he could catch up on any sleep. Jiraiya slouched in his seat, disheveled, his white hair more unruly than usual. An odd assortment of smells clung to him, prompting Orochimaru, seated beside him, to wrinkle his nose in disgust.

"Will—"

"The Sand Village is truly crossing the line!" Utatane Koharu interjected, cutting Jiraiya off mi...

Chapter 57

The room erupted with laughter.

"Pfft! Hahaha..." Tsunade doubled over, unable to contain her laughter.

Kushina joined in, giggling uncontrollably.

Seeing them laugh, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but chuckle as well.

"You... you guys are so mean! This is bullying," Nawaki wailed, tears streaming down his face.

He hated the test papers more than anything, but he didn't dare to throw them away. He knew that Tsunade would make him complete every last one of ...

Chapter 56

The New Year was approaching, but the Third Hokage was still busy. Even on New Year's Eve, he would work in the office until late before heading home.

"Tsunade, do you have something to ask me?"

"Not really. I just want to ask the old man for a favor."

"A favor?" The Third Hokage looked puzzled, not understanding what Tsunade wanted.

Seated comfortably on the sofa, Tsunade leaned back and crossed her legs. "Nawaki is about to graduate, isn't he? I plan to have J...

Chapter 55

Wiping his face with the towel draped around his shoulders, Shinki walked to the doorway and leaned against the frame, watching the two boys training with kunai in the yard. Sometimes, a difference of just two or three years doesn't prevent true friendships—it only takes the right moment or situation.

Despite the age gap between Nawaki and Minato Namikaze, they had grown close. Their friendship reminded Shinki of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who had an even bigger age diffe...

Chapter 54

Kushina went out shopping with her two friends, Uchiha Mikoto and Hyuga Mihui. With nothing else to do, Nawaki and Minato Namikaze ended up together, sitting on the ground and chatting for a bit before running off hand-in-hand, looking like they were up to mischief.

Watching the two boys dash away like a couple of conspirators, Shinki could only shake his head. He silently hoped Nawaki wouldn't drag Minato into any questionable activities or bring him to buy strange books.

...

Chapter 53

With the combined efforts of Nawaki and Minato Namikaze, the grill was quickly set up. Shinki lit the firewood and added a generous amount of charcoal. As the flames grew and the coals began to glow, he placed the marinated meat on the grill. Soon, the enticing aroma of barbecue filled the air.

Nawaki and Minato, who were standing nearby to help, couldn't help but swallow in anticipation.

"It smells amazing," Minato said, his eyes lighting up with genuine delight. He glance...

Chapter 52

"Ah! Why? I just want to sleep a little longer!" came Nawaki's wail from his room. Shinki, busy washing and preparing the meat, chuckled to himself.

It was futile for Nawaki to try and resist when Kushina was involved. He couldn't bring himself to be harsh with her, and even if he did, there was no guarantee he'd win a fight against her. Despite Nawaki being older, the outcome of any tussle was uncertain.

Kushina, under the combined mentorship of Shinki and Tsunade, was far...

Chapter 51

Tsunade, who had been laughing hysterically, suddenly froze. Her eyes widened as she stammered, "Slug Sage, are you sure he has a good talent?"

"Yes, his talent is excellent, comparable to Hashirama Senju. If he dedicates himself, he will definitely learn the senjutsu of the Shikkotsu Forest," the Slug Sage confirmed, even invoking the legendary First Hokage for comparison.

Shinki's talent for learning the senjutsu of the Shikkotsu Forest was on par with Hashirama's, making...

Chapter 50

Under Shinki's questioning gaze, Tsunade's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Stop staring! The Slug Sage said I don't have the talent!" she huffed.

Got it. The truth had finally come out. With Tsunade's determined nature, she wouldn't have given up easily unless she truly lacked the aptitude. No wonder she seemed so guilty talking about it—it wasn't that she didn't want to learn; she just couldn't.

The path to mastering senjutsu was perilous, requiri...

Chapter 49

After their meal, Kushina's face was glowing with joy. Shinki chuckled. "Of course, I won't. Your friends are my friends. Why would I be angry with them? But why are you worried I might be angry with Mihui?"

Shinki was puzzled, as he had no memory of a girl named Mihui.

"You'll find out tomorrow," Kushina said playfully, trying to keep it a surprise.

Shinki smiled, ruffled her red hair, and passed her a few more pieces of meat. "Eat up! You're still growing, and more ...

Chapter 48

The food was truly delicious, and Shinki relished every bite. After a hearty meal, he planned to head home for some well-deserved rest.

The Akimichi family truly knew how to enjoy life! Their specialty barbecue alone brought in a hefty profit, enough to make other families in Konoha envious. Unfortunately for them, they didn't have the unique skills of the Akimichi clan and could only watch with longing.

"Not bad," Shinki said as he dipped a piece of perfectly grilled meat ...

Chapter 47

Do you really think that Hanzo of the Salamander is made of clay?

Black iron sand hovered in the air, surrounding the Third Kazekage, who did not even bother to turn around. He would not place Hanzo of the Salamander on the same level as himself.

"The Rain Village has no right to choose, and neither do you. The decision is yours, but the outcome is inevitable."

Cooperation? 

Why should the Sand Village collaborate with you? As for seeking an alliance with K...

Chapter 46

"Don't tell me that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can evolve just like the Sharingan!"

"Why not?" Shinki said, "I have gained a lot of strange abilities, and the caged bird seal that bound me has disappeared. For this, I can only say that my eyes have evolved."

"Damn it!"

Hearing this, Tsunade wanted to hit someone.

I don't care whether your eyes have degenerated or evolved. The caged bird seal that bound you has disappeared. Why didn't you say it earlier?
