On an April morning, the weather was neither too cold nor too hot.
However, Kurenai Yuhi seemed a little downcast.
Just moments ago, Hanekawa had told her he was going to the Land of Fire's capital city today.
“When will you be back?”
Kurenai kicked a small stone on the road and asked.
“Very soon.”
Hanekawa walked up, grabbed her small hand, and said, “Two days at most.”
“Eh?”
Kurenai’s spirits lifted, and she asked...
Hanekawa woke up again, and it was already evening.
He was still in Tsunade’s embrace, his face pressed against her shoulder, surrounded by a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Instinctively, Hanekawa opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the bustling street—it was still Tanzaku Street.
His eyes shifted leftward, catching a glimpse of Tsunade’s snow-white neck and the golden strands of her hair hanging down.
“Are we going back now?”
Hanekaw...
Eating alone doesn’t need to be complicated.
Hanekawa improvised and made a bowl of ramen.
He stepped out of the kitchen, used his Meal Magic, and called out, “Sensei, food’s ready!”
Tsunade got up from the couch and walked to the dining table.
Seeing only one bowl of ramen, she was slightly taken aback.
“Who did you eat with?” Tsunade casually asked, picking up her chopsticks.
“Uchiha Fugaku.” Hanekawa briefly explained wh...
“Be careful, Hanekawa-senpai.”
After forming the Seal of Confrontation, Shisui Uchiha immediately created some distance between them.
At incredible speed, he expelled a blazing fireball from his mouth—the Uchiha clan’s signature technique: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
The air rippled with intense heat, and Hanekawa felt the scorching wave rushing toward him.
A direct hit wouldn’t be something to take lightly.
Body Flicker Technique!<...
"Why isn’t Shisui here?"
Hanekawa glanced around. Most of his friends had shown up, but Uchiha Shisui was noticeably absent.
Given Shisui’s personality, it was unusual for him to skip training.
"Shisui hasn’t trained with us for the past two days," Sarutobi Asuma said, sounding a bit worried. "Maybe something happened."
"Obito, do you know anything?" Hatake Kakashi asked.
Since Hanekawa had started learning Konoha-style: Willow from Marubos...
The village of Kirigakure was silent under the night sky.
“Seriously? Is he insane?!”
Terumi Mei shot up from her bed, her voice filled with frustration.
She had just dreamed of Hanekawa again, replaying the memory of him stealing her wallet.
“That bastard!”
Clenching her fists, she punched her blanket angrily.
From a young age, Terumi Mei had been a prodigy, always standing out as one of the best. She had never suffered such a hum...
Hanekawa opened Terumi Mei's wallet.
The first thing that caught his eye was a stack of money.
He counted: a total of 2,700 ryō.
Aside from the money, there were two hot spring discount coupons and a bottle of blue nail polish.
Hanekawa smirked.
The future Mizukage sure is broke.

"Lady Tsunade," the spy handed over the intelligence he had stolen from Kirigakure.
"Good work," Tsunade said with a slight nod.
She cas...
“Cultivating?”
Ling Yuan stood at the doorway, her gaze lingering on Ah Yin’s flushed face. She couldn’t help but take a second glance.
“If Sister Ling Yuan has something to pass along, Nana can deliver it on her behalf,” Hu Liena said softly.
“Alright, once His Highness finishes cultivating, Nana, give him this letter,” Ling Yuan replied, retracting her gaze and pulling out a letter to hand over.
Hu Liena carefully accepted it.
“Do...
After catching his breath briefly, Tang San took the initiative to dismantle and store the cart.
"Xiao Wu, there are still two days until registration. Let’s find a place to stay first."
"Sure, no problem!"
Xiao Wu casually pulled out a small fan, her round, bright pink eyes curiously observing the surroundings.
After spending six years in Notting City, she had long grown bored of it.
Although Soto City wasn’t as grand as Heaven Dou City, it was ...
Konoha.
With the ninja clans settling in, the village's development began to stabilize, and everything appeared well-organized. The shops that the clans had pre-prepared were gradually opening, filling the streets with endless hustle and bustle.
At present, the hottest topic of discussion on the lively streets was who would ultimately take the position of Hokage.
In a newly renovated barbecue restaurant, a group of people sat around a grill. One of them, a round a...
"I am doomed!"
The young man stared at the vast ocean before him, his face filled with despair.
With no path ahead and pursuers closing in behind, he had no way to escape.
"Don't resist. I won't kill you."
A voice from behind him echoed, calm and composed.
The young man was a defector from Kirigakure, fleeing with vital intelligence.
At the same time, he was also a spy for Konoha.
The best course of action was to capture him alive,...
“What’s the situation on your side?” Cod asked as he glanced at Scallop.
“It’s just a kid from the Hidden Leaf,” Scallop replied with a shake of his head. “But it’s only a clone—I couldn’t find the real body.”
“A kid?” Terumi Mei couldn’t help but ask, “How old?”
“About your age,” Scallop answered.
“There’s no way he’s alone,” Terumi Mei thought aloud. “Scallop-senpai, continue pursuing the escapee. Cod-senpai, ...
Under the Night Sky
A petite figure suddenly appeared in the dark.
She was dressed in a gray standard-issue flak jacket, her face hidden behind a cat-shaped mask, with only a pair of bright green eyes visible.
Her reddish-brown hair swayed gently in the wind. Standing at about 1.23 meters tall, she was clearly just a little girl.
“This is human blood. Looks like we’re on the right track,” she muttered.
She scanned the area, soon spotting bl...
A new day.
At the breakfast table, Kurenai Yuhi was sulking.
She had just learned that Hanekawa was leaving today for a mission.
That wasn’t the worst part—the mission would take one or two weeks, maybe even longer.
“Kurenai.”
Her father, Shinku Yuhi, glanced at Hanekawa, then forced a smile and asked her, “Do you want some milk? I can pour it for you.”
“No!”
Kurenai turned her head away, giving him no attention at all.<...
Water Style: Wild Water Wave!
Kurenai Yuhi stood in front of a tree, forming seals with her hands.
Chakra surged, flowing out from her throat and transforming into a stream of water.
With a crisp sound, a visible mark appeared on the tree trunk.
Kurenai froze for a moment, then turned and ran excitedly.
She rushed over to Hanekawa, exclaiming, “I did it, Hanekawa!”
Seeing her bouncing with joy, especially her swaying single ponytail, Hanek...
"Daddy, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, what are you two chattering about?"
Just as Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were at a loss for words, Ning Rongrong’s head peeked out from the treasure vault’s entrance.
She curiously looked at them, her short pink hair and delicate, charming face accentuating her graceful yet slightly frail figure.
Bone Douluo turned around, stuffing a gemstone-encrusted lock into his soul tool, and explained with a smile:
"Rongrong, Gra...
"Teacher, rest assured, Zhuqing promises to complete the mission!"
Zhu Zhuqing held Qian Renjue's hand against her cheek and solemnly nodded, her youthful face blushing slightly.
"Goodbye, Teacher."
"Stay safe, and if you encounter danger, call for me anytime," Qian Renjue said with a gentle smile.
He stepped forward, letting Zhu Zhuqing lean into his embrace, stroking her silky hair.
"Mm~"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded joyfully. After lingering for a moment...
"Teacher, how does this weapon work? Can I learn to make one too?"
Zhu Zhuqing blushed, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Of course, no problem. I'll give you Lou Gao's compiled notes later," Qian Renjue replied with a smile, nodding.
Holding the steel tube-like weapon in his hands, he explained,
"It's still quite crude at the moment. It relies on a lever to strike the Energy-Converging Formation, forcing it to release its stored soul power. However, after three...
In the base hidden behind a massive waterfall, the middle-aged leader of the ninjas from the Land of Waterfalls paced anxiously. He had dispatched a squad of elite ninjas some time ago, but there was still no news. The silence gnawed at his nerves.
"Leader! Leader! They're back!"
The voice of one of his subordinates rang out, startling him from his thoughts. He rushed to the door, eager to see who the mysterious intruder was. But stepping outside, the scene before hi...
"Saiken!"
Beep... beep... beep...
The previously lively atmosphere of the chatroom was replaced with an eerie silence. The heavy-faced Gyūki severed his connection with the Saiken and shook his head at Kurama, whose expression was dark enough to drip water.
"The Saiken is missing as well."
"Gyūki, we'll be fine, right? Our main bodies are deep in the ocean—nothing bad will happen, right?"
Isobu, the Three-Tails, retracted its head into its shell,...
Two days later.
Star Luo Empire, Zhu Family's Back Mountain.
In the middle of a wide clearing in the forest lay the corpse of a freshly killed Ten-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger.
Its pitch-black body still exuded a chilling aura, even under the sunlight.
Crack!
A sound like shattering porcelain echoed from within its dark form.
To the naked eye, the ghost tiger began to dissolve, transforming into black shards of ice that disintegrated, melted, and...
Dugu Yan turned her pretty face aside, took the skewer of grilled meat, and shyly asked,
"Your Highness, can’t you give Yan Yan a little sweetness?"
"Sweetness? Sure, how should I give it?"
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow and agreed with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Dugu Yan laughed sweetly, stood up, and glanced at her best friend.
Ye Lingling said nothing, quietly wiping her lips, which still carried traces of her fiancé's presence.
"......
"They're so scattered, and two of them are even in the water."
Uchiha Madara paced through the quiet forest, flipping through the intelligence he had "freely acquired" from the Void Realm. His black eyes glimmered with a calculating light, his expression deep in thought.
The intelligence detailed that the Tailed Beasts were spread across various regions of the shinobi world. Some roamed the vast plains, others lived in canyons, and a few swam through rivers, lakes, and ...
As night fell and the bustling night market wound down, groups of drunken revelers staggered home, leaning on each other for support.
The lively Konoha Village gradually quieted under the soft glow of the moonlight. Occasionally, a security patrol passed by, but their movements were swift and silent, leaving no ripples in the serene and peaceful scene of the village.
On the cliff overlooking Konoha—a spot that Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama once frequented for their...
With a hostage in the enemy’s hands, Tobirama Senju had no choice but to lower his white-haired head to the curly-haired figure before him.
"Has this guy taken the wrong medicine?"
The sudden turn of events made Uchiha Gin suspect whether this white-haired man was an imposter. Tobirama actually spoke politely!
Gin activated his heightened sensory abilities and scanned him from head to toe. Confirming it was indeed Tobirama himself, Gin relaxed and nodded with s...
On Saturday, Hanekawa had just opened his door when he was greeted by an excited voice.
"Hanekawa! Look at this!"
Kurenai ran up to him, beaming.
"Look at what?" Hanekawa asked, yawning.
Kurenai didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she twirled around in front of him.
It was then that Hanekawa noticed she was wearing a white tracksuit and had tied her hair into a single ponytail. The new look gave her an energetic and sporty vibe, quite different fro...
After finishing their meal, Hanekawa followed Tsunade out.
Half an hour later, he met Maruboshi Kosuke.
Kosuke wore a gray vest and carried a large black pot along with several spatulas, making him look more like a chef than a ninja.
Unlike in the original timeline, his left leg was still intact.
Seeing the large black pot, Hanekawa couldn’t help but think of “Pot Shadow” Danzo Shimura.
“Lady Tsunade?”
Kosuke was stunned, his face sh...
“Shisui.”
Hanekawa smiled and extended an invitation. “If you’re free, we can train together.”
Uchiha Obito was able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, so his talent wasn’t bad, but his growth during his time at the ninja academy had been relatively slow.
As for Uchiha Shisui, in a few years, his strength would skyrocket during the Third Great Ninja War, elevating him to the rank of an elite jonin.
When choosing someone to hone Fire Release skil...
The air was scorching.
A massive fireball was once again launched, slamming into a nearby tree.
"I hit it! I hit it!"
Uchiha Tetsuka exclaimed excitedly.
"…"
Uchiha Shisui remained silent.
He was still fighting against an invisible opponent.
Shisui walked forward, glanced at Hanekawa, and exchanged eye contact for a few seconds before stopping in front of Tetsuka.
Extending his hand, Shisui infused chakra into him, dispelling the g...
"I’m getting old. Deciding on the next Hokage early will ensure greater stability for the Hidden Leaf Village," Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, taking a drag from his pipe as he locked eyes with Tsunade.
"Why are you asking me?" Tsunade replied, rolling her eyes. "Shouldn’t you be asking Danzo? He’d be more than happy to answer you."
"You know as well as I do, Danzo can’t become Hokage," Hiruzen said firmly, without hesitation.
"Then why do you let him do as...
