The massive toad leaped through the air, casting a shadow as large as a cloud blocking out the sun. It landed in the center of town's restricted area, smashing the fountain at the plaza with a thud, sending a gust of wind that nearly knocked down the fences.
As the onlookers struggled to their feet, they finally got a clear look at the toad. It was a giant toad, from head to tail covered in warts, wearing a deep blue vest with bandages wrapped around its waist, and a short sword tucked ...

Soon, the 'gas' inside the Dimensional Shambler had completely leaked out, leaving behind only a gray, empty shell.
Jiraiya picked up the it's shell, opened it, and peered inside, confirming that there was indeed no bodily tissue present. The inner texture of the shell was slightly different from the outer surface, with fewer wrinkles.
"Pa, look at this. It's completely hollow!" Jiraiya said.
"Impossible... Where are its organs? Its bones?"
"Could this empty shell be i...

When someone thought of space-time ninjutsu, the most common example would be the Summoning Jutsu
But ordinary summoning jutsu wouldn't help in this situation. To escape the current predicament, he needed to find a way to bring himself back to his original world. I need to reverse summon, bring myself back and seal the mural. No pressure, right?
Without a doubt, the mural that the monster entered is the root of all this. And to achieve this, he first needed to regain...

Just now, when he came up from the lobby on the first floor, he hadn't noticed the mural on the wall.
It was an abstract mural, showing a gray-green plain, with distorted smoke swirling across the long, narrow landscape. How did I miss this before? Jiraiya's brow furrowed as he studied the painting. Something's not right here.
As he looked at the mural, he felt a strange sense of space, as though he were gazing into a real world through the painting on the w...

"You know?" Jiraiya asked, looking back at the imposter.
The Imposter, trying to hide his nervousness, recited, "8. 2. 4. 2. 1."
"How did you...?" Jiraiya's eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Just a hunch," the imposter replied quickly. "Why don't we try it?"
Too convenient. Jiraiya watched the imposter walk directly to the combination lock and input the numbers.
As the five dials clicked into place, the sound of the lock mechanism activating could be heard ...

"Then, tomorrow's mission to exterminate the monster will rely entirely on Lord Jiraiya. As long as the man-eating monster is dealt with, our country will offer a generous reward."
Captain Wataru's words caused the imposter to look uncomfortable, rubbing his hands nervously.
"Of course, that's no problem."
"But, uh, am I going in alone?"
Wataru naturally nodded, "Naturally. We ordinary folks would only be a burden. As for your... fan here, it's up to you, Lord Jiraiya....

As Jiraiya walked along a mountain path, he felt the air around him becoming increasingly humid and dull, so he looked up.
There was not a trace of sunlight in the sky, only dark clouds.
Another gloomy day... He then felt a drop on his cheek.
Plop, plop.
More and more rain fell from the sky, creating an uncomfortable earthy smell.
Rain or shine, the trail doesn't go cold. Not until I find you. He didn't seek shelter from the r...

Two fire spirits struck the White Snake's head, and it immediately began to thrash, trying to shake off the fireballs.
Come on, burn! Kagami's eyes narrowed as he watched the snake's desperate movements.
However, the Flame Spirits burned with extraordinary energy, and unless he retracted them, ordinary methods couldn't extinguish their flames.
Seeing that the Flame Spirits couldn't be shaken off and the intense heat was unbearable, the White Snake quickly dispe...

Not perfect, but it's a start. At least it's better than nothing. At the very least, it can provide some enhancement to Kagami's main body.

The White Snake left a deep impression on Kagami.
It had black hair on its head, resembling a snake-form Orochimaru. While it appeared to be a completely white large snake, it was actually composed of countless smaller snakes.
Due to this unique body structure, it could disperse parts of itself to avoid damage from thrown weapons. Similarly, other physical attacks would likely also be ineffective.
Moreover, the White Snake's bodily fluids were highly toxic, and once inhaled ...

After calming down Spidey's anger, Kagami placed it back into the breeding box and covered it with the wooden board.
A few drops of green liquid splashed onto the summoning scroll. It was unclear whether it was Spidey's blood, but it was something he had obtained at great cost and effort.
Next, it was time for Kagami to take his own blood.
Using a kunai, he pierced his fingertip and squeezed out a few drops of fresh blood onto the summoning scroll.
Two types of blood w...

Although Kagami could summon any spider from around...

In a tiered lecture hall, dozens of graduates, each wearing a ninja forehead protector, sat solemnly in their seats.
On the podium, most of the chunin teachers from the Ninja Academy were present.
On the blackboard were a few prominent characters spelling out, "Orientation for Qualified Graduates."
The principal stepped forward, his voice carrying across the room. "Congratulations to all of you on successfully graduating from the Ninja Academy and being promoted to genin."

The classes at the Ninja Academy were seventy percent boring, twenty percent childish, and only ten percent could pique Kagami's interest.
As the teacher talked about basic ninjutsu identification, he lost his interest. This is like teaching a fish how to swim, he suppressed a yawn.

The warm sunlight shone on the courtyard of a prominent family in Konoha, where two people stood in the center.
It was a father and son. The older was dressed in the combat attire of a Konoha jonin, with an armband displaying the insignia of the Konoha Police Force—a shuriken with the Uchiha Clan crest in the center.
The son's clothing was simpler, consisting of the Uchiha family's blue short-sleeved shirt and shorts, without a ninja forehead protector yet.

The two people standing in front of Orochimaru were wearing black cloaks embroidered with red clouds, the signature attire of Akatsuki.

He had just learned the name of Akatsuki from Kabuto, and now, in such a short time, he had already encountered the real thing.

At the bottommost level of the stone tower, there was only a single passageway forward. The three of them simply had to follow this path.
