After dealing with the remnants of the Land of the Sky, Konoha returned to a state of calm.
Under Danzō's leadership, the new capital of the Land of Fire developed at an almost frenetic pace.
According to the population department's statistics, Konoha's permanent population had now surpassed two million.
Moreover, due to its ever-increasing attractiveness, this number was still rising rapidly.
Not only that, but the various new technologies develope...
Looking at the massive trench stretching over a kilometer and the vanished mountain peak, everyone, including Minato and Kakashi, couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
This thing... was this powerful?
Its destructive force seemed no less than a tailed beast bomb.
As the Hokage, Minato felt a surge of relief.
Thankfully, Elder Danzo had the foresight to have the Anbu monitor the remnants of the Land of the Sky.
Otherwise, if they had completed t...
The Zero-Tails, a creature composed of dark chakra, originates from the darkness within human hearts.
As long as humans cannot completely rid themselves of inner darkness, it will never perish.
Unfortunately, while it is called a tailed beast, its actual combat capabilities leave much to be desired.
In the original timeline, it was easily defeated by Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra rasengan after absorbing excessive chakra from Naruto and Sasuke.
Such combat...
That's right. Under Danzō's guidance, the Konoha Research Institute successfully developed the *Natural Curse Mark* based on Jūgo's cells.
Derived from Jūgo's unique biology, this mark allows the user to absorb natural energy from the environment, entering a pseudo-Sage Mode that significantly enhances physical abilities and the power of ninjutsu.
Like the Earth Curse Mark created by Orochimaru in the original timeline, this Natural Curse Mark also has a notable draw...
The *Ancor Vantian* aerial fortress, the headquarters of the Land of the Sky, had once made a name for itself during the Second Shinobi World War.
Among the smaller nations, the Land of the Sky was the only one bold enough to declare war on Konoha, the dominant power of the shinobi world at the time.
Of course, their arrogance ultimately cost them dearly.
The aerial fortress, a key weapon of the Land of the Sky, was heavily targeted by Konoha's shinobi during t...
Boom!
Fifteen minutes after Ice Empress left, the clouds parted, revealing the moon.
The ice shattered.
Tang San gasped for breath, his face twisted in fury.
"Hah! A frog in a well—how could you possibly know the power of my Tang Sect’s Mysterious Heaven Skill?"
If it were any other Soul Elder trapped inside that ice,
They might really have been doomed—
Even their soul power would have been frozen, unable to circulate.
But ...
Zhu Zhuqing watched as Tang San disappeared into the distance, her face expressionless.
She turned away, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Without holding anything back, she also activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, weaving through the crowd as she rushed back to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
---
Moments later—
Tang San arrived at the scene of the incident—
Near the Fourth Prince’s residence.
The secluded alley...
At the Gates of Heaven Dou City
As she led Tang San through the city gates, Xiao Wu lightly grasped the Beast Collar and quickly connected with Qian Renjue.
"Your Highness the Holy Son~"
"Don't look back, I'm right above the gate. Just bring Tang San over."
Perched atop the city gate, Qian Renjue looked relaxed.
He watched Xiao Wu and the others walk away, his eyes glowing white.
"Sister, can you find Tang Hao?"
"I'll check right now."<...
Time flew by.
As dusk approached, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, successfully reuniting with Tang San and the others.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, under the pretense of going home, chose to stay with Ye Lingling for the time being.
She couldn't just let Ye Lingling build her own faction!
After all, Ye Lingling was a powerful 700,000-year-old soul beast with terrifying combat strength!
---
Nightfall.
At the entrance of Heaven Treasure Restaurant.
Dugu Yan walked out with her head lowered, holding her forehead.
Following behind her was Yu Feng, his chest looking as if three large lumps had grown on it.
"Sister Yan, don't walk so fast! What if someone tries to rob me?"
"How would I know what to do?"
Dugu Yan shrugged and distanced herself from Yu Feng—she didn’t want to be embarrassed.
Yu Feng followed closely, looking around warily.
...
"This is my gift for you," Kaguya said softly, completely indifferent to the daimyo's reactions as she gazed at Hanekawa. "Do you like it?"
"I love it," Hanekawa replied with a broad smile.
He suddenly recalled an ancient tale from his previous life about a king who fooled his vassals with false beacon fires - except here, Kaguya played the role of the capricious monarch. It was an odd comparison, yet genuinely touching.
By creating the moon, Kaguya had unmistakab...
Hanekawa felt time pass both quickly and slowly.
It was as if he had been dreaming—adrift in turbulent waters like a lone boat. Yet at other times, he was the boatman himself, gripping the oars as he rode the waves.
Snapping back to reality, Hanekawa looked at Kaguya.
She was crouched slightly, her long, pale legs bent to support her graceful figure. Her smooth hair cascaded over her shoulders like silk, spilling onto Hanekawa’s lap.
None o...
Of course, Kabuto wouldn't agree to this child's self-recommendation.
After all, the ruins were the stronghold of the remnants of the Land of the Sky, and it was a dangerous place.
He didn't want to go through the trouble of protecting a defenseless child while facing danger.
Seeing Kabuto and the others' expressions of refusal, the child grew anxious and exclaimed, "I really know those ruins well, I'm not lying! I often go there with Teacher Shinnō!"
"T...
"Boom!!"
The fireball exploded, causing a terrifying blast.
Even though Shinnō had mastered the secret technique of "Body Revival," the explosion still left him with significant injuries.
Despite his fury, Shinnō, now aware that "these kids aren't simple," didn't dare to linger
He charged through the raging flames, stomping heavily on the ground and bursting out of the smoke like a frenzied rhinoceros!
Unfortunately, the Konoha team had anticipa...
The Land of Earth, once one of the most powerful nations, was now engulfed in the horrors of war due to Ōnoki's rebellion.
Years of civil war had ravaged hundreds of towns, displacing hundreds of thousands and leaving countless others homeless.
The injuries and illnesses caused by the war were innumerable, and the people of the Land of Earth were living in dire straits.
However, even in such disasters, there were always those who stepped forward to selflessly c...
Despite Jiraiya's current prestigious position as the Minister of Propaganda and Media, his earlier scandals hadn't faded away.
Instead, they had become even more widely discussed as he climbed the ranks.
Stories about him peeking into women's baths for inspiration while writing *Make-Out Paradise* or visiting brothels for "research" were particularly popular.
Some unscrupulous tabloids had even published risqué comics featuring Jiraiya, with content so explic...
While the entire shinobi world was focused on the newly revolutionized nations of the Land of Rain, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Grass, Danzō shifted his attention to another direction—the Land of the Sky.
This was a nation defeated by Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War.
However, as a transmigrator, Danzō knew they hadn't been completely wiped out.
Instead, they had hidden in a remote corner, recuperating and developing advanced technologies f...
"Come here."
Hanekawa sat on the sofa and waved at Kaguya.
Kaguya walked over and naturally sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"About the wedding guests, do you have any thoughts?" Hanekawa held her waist and asked, "Should we only invite students from the Shinobi Sect, or everyone in the shinobi world?"
"What's the difference?"
Kaguya tugged at her collar, revealing her fair skin.
After spending so much time toget...
Living Room.
Hanekawa and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya were having lunch.
Suddenly, a leaf appeared out of thin air, floating in front of them, trembling nonstop.
"The students of Shinobi Sect are calling for help," Hanekawa immediately put down his chopsticks and said.
"I'll take you there."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya nodded, grabbing his hand.
She activated the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead.
An invisible ripple burst forth.
Space distorted, and ...
Morning.
Hanekawa opened his eyes.
He sat up and yawned.
Without Tsunade and Samui by his side, he felt a little unaccustomed to waking up alone.
Before, he could either enjoy the warmth of their bodies or start his day with some morning exercise.
Thinking of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he couldn't help but shake his head.
She had promised to bear his offspring, yet she showed no sign of taking action.
As expected, she was just an innocent, cluel...
Hanekawa formed hand seals and used Mystical Palm Technique.
A large amount of pale green chakra enveloped the Shinigami.
However, no healing effect occurred.
Hanekawa fell into thought.
The Shinigami was not human, nor was it a being of flesh and blood—its body was pure energy.
Sage Art: Mystical Palm Technique!
Hanekawa clapped his hands together and entered Sage Mode.
Driven by senjutsu chakra, the Mystical Palm Techniq...
"Dad, I’ve mastered the Rinnegan!"
Tsukihime said excitedly.
"What a little genius."
Hanekawa smiled and patted her head.
Mastering all the abilities of the Rinnegan in just a month—she was truly a genius among geniuses.
It just proved that Tsukihime had inherited the same talent as the Sage of Six Paths from the original story.
"So, what should I learn next?" Tsukihime asked curiously.
"You’ll come with me to the S...
"Shinobi World United News, April 5th, Year 59 of Konoha's Calendar."
"Amegakure leader Yahiko has officially announced that the centuries-long bloody rule of the nobility in the Land of Rain has come to an end."
"Moving forward, Amegakure will take over governance, becoming the sole legitimate government of the Land of Rain, and will prosecute all crimes committed by the nobility within its borders."
Beneath this bold headline was a stark photograph.
The ...
Under the sweeping and profound waves of reform in the Land of Fire, the entire shinobi world was plunged into an unprecedented era of upheaval and transformation.
Like a massive boulder thrown into a calm lake, the ripples not only reached the powerful nations of the Land of Water and the Land of Earth but also ignited the flames of revolution in the lands of numerous smaller nations.
Through the vigorous promotion of the *Shinobi World United News*, the oppressed mass...
In the mist-shrouded village of Kirigakure, surrounded by water, the atmosphere in the Mizukage's office was as heavy as the calm before a storm.
"What? The Blood Mist faction is also trying to purchase weapons from Konoha?"
Mei Terumī's voice rose sharply, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
Her auburn, crisscrossed curls trembled slightly as she moved, and her already pale face grew even darker.
Sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves outside,...
"Damn it, what kind of brains do those Konoha people have? How can they create something like this?"
An Iwa jōnin who had rushed to the scene couldn't help but curse as he looked at the battlefield, now blackened and scorched from the bombardment.
Although Konoha had always claimed they weren't interfering in the Land of Earth's civil war, and the daimyo's side insisted that these weapons were their own creations, anyone with half a brain knew that no nation other than...
"It seems Ōnoki is really getting old."
In Konoha's military testing grounds, Danzō sighed as he read the latest intelligence report from the Land of Earth.
Although Ryoma's strength had grown rapidly after mastering the power of the Seven-Tails, it shouldn't have been enough to send Ōnoki fleeing in just a few exchanges.
The only reasonable explanation was that Ōnoki's body was failing him in some way, or perhaps he was avoiding direct confrontation.
The Tailed Beast Bomb, condensed by the Seven-Tails, collided with the earthen mountain at an unimaginable speed.
In an instant, the explosion produced a light so blinding that it was impossible to look directly at it.
The intense glare spread like a tidal wave, illuminating the entire world in a pale, ghostly light.
Following this, a deafening roar erupted, the shockwave sweeping outward like a tangible storm.
Wherever it passed, rocks were pulverized ...
"Seven-Tails, is it...?"
High above the capital of the Land of Earth, Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage, stood in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the figure radiating tailed beast chakra.
It wasn’t hard for him to deduce that this was the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki. Among all the tailed beasts, only Chōmei, the Seven-Tails, possessed the ability to fly.
Years ago, the Hidden Waterfall Village had sent out a plea to the Five Great Nations, claiming that their tailed beast had go...
"Return to the village?"
"No."
Rōshi, his face framed by a thick red beard, looked at the Iwa ninja before him and flatly refused the request to return to the village.
There was a time when he, too, had been a proud Iwa ninja, guided by the Will of Stone.
But Ōnoki's two-faced tactics were something he simply couldn't accept.
Over the years, he had also come to realize that he was no match for Ōnoki in their rivalry.
So, he had chosen t...
