But if the Hyūga clan took over the Police Force and Hiruzen still refused to implement reforms, then the Hyūga Clan wouldn't have it easy either. Because that would mean they would soon go through everything the Uchiha clan went through.
Do you really think the people of Konoha resented the Uchiha just because of our bad attitude during law enforcement?
Do you really believe that the Uchiha were disliked just because we were brainless and arrogant?

The villages that failed to democratize their clans, Konoha, Kiri, and Suna, experienced a continuous decline in overall strength and were constantly plagued by internal division.
In the face of increasingly powerful clans and growing internal rifts, Hiruzen and Danzō could only come up with destructive tactics with self-sabotaging measures that weakened the village from within. Moreover, their actions were heavily motivated by personal gain rather than genuine concern for the village'...

Hearing Hiashi speak so gravely, the three of them couldn't help but quicken their pace.
This might sound a little cold, but with the current strong alliance between the Hyūga and Uchiha clans, after Hyūga Shijime passed away, Hiashi has played a crucial role in maintaining that relationship.
As the clan leader, Hiashi was the best in managing the complex relationship between the main and branch houses since the clan joined Konoha, and because of that, he had gained considerable...

Just as the door was about to close completely, leaving only a sliver of a gap, Luminaris stuck his head out once more.
"A reform that was clearly visionary and excellent, yet in the story it's portrayed solely as the cause of destruction... Is the world really like this?"
Viktor was caught off guard by the unexpected question and paused momentarily.
"That's something you'll have to ask the God of Time. After all, I'm just a short-sighted undead who's n...

"This is Konoha's Shadow, Itachi!"
Hiruzen, pipe in mouth and beaming with a smile, patted Itachi on the shoulder as he spoke loudly to Shikaku, who raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes scanning Itachi from head to toe, once an S-rank missing-nin, now dressed in a brand-new Konoha jonin uniform, his forehead protector neatly tied in place, his expression calm and composed.
So that's how it is…
He instantly understood. Compared to Orochimaru, who defected and lat...

In the living room of the suite, Jain Zar, several other Phoenix Lords, and various Aspect Warriors were conversing in their melodic Eldar tones, discussing the recent events that had occurred on Terra.
Nearby, members of the Steel Legion, Captain Sicarius, Commissar Yarrick, Lieutenant Voss, Tech-priest Datius, Inquisitor Greyfax, and Sister Miriya, sat a bit nervously on the living room sofas, occasionally glancing in the direction of the game room.

Tripping Princess, Old Man Shakes His Head.
Kei looked at the two traits, a somewhat helpless smile appearing on his face.
The effect of the [Tripping Princess] looked cute, in a two-dimensional world. But if you brought it into the real world, it most likely represented a loss of balance. Add to that the trait that it affected targets regardless of strength, and the massive boost in idiocy aura it brings...
This trait was basically a goddess-destroying artifact!

Seeing that most of you guys want to read LOTR: TMCP, I decided to take on the request. Due to having vacation, I have a lot of time. And due to the accident, I can't really go out or travel like I wanted to. So, I can only watch series or so, but while I could only lie in bed the last two weeks, I already watched a lot, so now I mostly focus on writing because I don't have a game to play. I really wanted to go swimming, rest on a sunny beach... but yeah, seems like it's not possible.

Even though Jain Zar still couldn't quite understand how changing one's predetermined fate was linked to increasing one's strength... From how decisively and efficiently Kei killed the Incubus, it was clear, this, too, was a way to change destiny. And compared to other methods, it was far simpler and more straightforward!
If viewed from this perspective, this so-called "Entity Who Defies Fate" was actually being incredibly restrained in how he treated them.

In the lawless zone of Piltover, makeshift shacks provided by overseers to the indentured were scattered everywhere like a disease across the landscape.
These shacks were extremely rudimentary, just some wooden boards nailed together, barely sheltering from rain or wind. The construction was poor, designed to house workers like livestock rather than human beings.
Inside, there were only a few tiers of bunk beds crammed together. The space was suffocatingly cramped, hot, and damp, ...

Pakura was an ambitious person. She very much wanted to become the next Kazekage. And as her ambition grew, her dissatisfaction with the Third Kazekage naturally deepened. But for that dissatisfaction to turn into conviction was not something that could happen easily.

Still, it was perfectly normal for a father to worry about it.

Medical-nin might sound like doctors, but they were not exactly the same. Despite the word "medical" in the title, medical ninja didn't specialize in mental health. They focused ...

The study group had ended, and Naruto was walking home alone.

A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz called from behind. Naruto turned around and saw Hinata standing three steps away, head lowered, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, her cheeks red as the evening clouds.

It was a uniquely shaped bow he had never seen before.

It was actually a bow with special properties. The last time he'd seen a special attribute was on a dagger he'd gotten from Bill.

Not knowing how to ride a horse? This problem didn't trouble Garrett for long.
Under the innkeeper's watchful gaze, he clumsily mounted the horse. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the innkeeper several times almost reach out to help. Yet, the moment he successfully got on the horse, a familiar sensation surged through him.
It felt... similar to cooking.
Whenever he wanted to move, the horse beneath him seemed to respond in perfect sync with his intentions. As soon ...

Garrett was extremely curious about this future "King of Men" from decades hence. If he could meet him in advance, that wouldn't be unwelcome at all.
However, traveling to Rivendell meant he probably wouldn't be able to return for quite some time. And since he couldn't summon his iron golems at the moment, his stronghold would be left completely undefended if he departed.
After considering it carefully, he decided to first return to Bree to acquire the supplies he needed and ensur...

Taking advantage of the explosion's light, Garrett crawled to the edge of the platform and peered down.
Two rounds of TNT bombardment had gone off in succession. As for the two orc war-bands, if not entirely obliterated, they could certainly be described as utterly annihilated. The entire area was now devastation. Everywhere the TNT had landed, it left behind massive craters that faintly revealed the bedrock beneath. The trees and undergrow...

Having declined Halbarad's offer to accompany him and leaving the Ranger behind in the stronghold to "watch the spectacle," Garrett gathered his materials, quietly removed two stone blocks, and slipped out through the walls.

A gentle breeze carried the clamor echoing across the open plain. But within the stronghold walls, all was silent. To be honest, even though he had made extensive preparations, Garrett was still somewhat nervous.
Unlike the Ranger beside him, he hadn't seen much real combat before. The thought that an orc war-band was charging straight at them made him feel distinctly uneasy.
