"Those who get it, get it."
Yuto nodded his head vigorously.
Seeing him so cooperative, Hidan let out a satisfied hum.
"And also, from now on, you all need to worship Jashin-sama and start living as new people…"
Noticing that Hidan was about to go off on one of his rants, Ryouma quickly interrupted him.

"The reason I recognized you as the Fourth Kazekage from the very beginning was because I admired your character. You are calm, ruthless, and decisive. Pakura is indeed strong, but if she were to live, the internal division within Suna would be inevitable. For such an unstable element, the stronger they are, the less they can be allowed to remain. As my most outstanding disciple, I don't want to hear such spineless talk from you ever again."
"Yes. I will remember your words."

"You are... Shin?" Pakura asked with a slightly trembling voice.
From the first moment she saw him, she felt that the man before her looked incredibly familiar, she was certain they had met somewhere before. However, since it was already dark, she couldn't be completely sure.

Since the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War, which began with the joint Chunin Exams, Konoha had overwhelmingly dominated the battlefield in every aspect.
There wasn't much to say about the eastern front, Kiri's proud flanking tactics were beaten to a pulp by Minato, who had returned to his old ways. With the Seven Ninja Swordsmen lost and lacking a jinchūriki, Kiri had already retreated to the Land of Whirlpools, seemingly on the verge of mass suicide by diving into the sea.

It was a day off.
In the Konoha shopping district, a new kunai-and-latte coffee shop had just opened. There weren't many customers inside. By the window, a blushing boy and a blushing girl sat facing each other.
Each had ordered a latte.
It was Sasuke and Sakura.
A subtle silence hung between them. This wasn't a sign that the ninja story had suddenly entered a school-life romance comedy phase, but rather... The Flying Thunder God Technique really did require academic k...

"Just a Ranger."
A Ranger?
Garrett looked in the direction of the voice, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. He could hear the voice, but not the sound of footsteps. If the person hadn't revealed himself, he feared he would never have known someone was hiding nearby.
He resisted the urge to light a torch. Under the moonlight, he studied the newcomer: tall and cloaked, with a long knife at his belt and a plain wooden bow slung across his back. His face was hidden i...

As the words fell, the sound of three or four daggers being drawn rang out.

Each had 20 HP and no armor. That was the first piece of information G...

Garrett kept his expression neutral, showing no hint of his discovery.
"These things of yours, any stick I picked up from the roadside would be more useful than them."
He looked at the pile of refuse on the ground, visibly troubled.
For a moment, Bill couldn't argue. He simply picked up a sword and swung it a few times, saying, "Come now, sir, they've got some use at least, haven't they?"
Garrett was somewhat surprised, not by Bill's shamelessness, but by the fact that...

In this world where conflict was ever-present, setting out on an adventure without proper equipment was simply out of the question.
At the blacksmith's forge, a burly man was hammering away at a strip of iron with loud, rhythmic clangs. Garrett stood nearby watching for quite some time. Only when the hammering stopped and the smith paused to wipe his brow did he step forward and greet him:
"Hello."
"Good day to you. What can I do for you, stranger?"

Catching his breath, Garrett casually picked up one of the sausages that had been roasting by the campfire. It was cooked to perfection.

The firelight weakly illuminated that tall, gaunt shadow.
The moment he looked up, a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head, Garrett's blood ran cold with terror. Before he could even process what he was seeing, the grotesque, withered corpse suddenly let out a bone-chilling shriek and lunged at him.
The ear-splitting wail at such close range nearly paralyzed him with fear. He had to summon every ounce of courage in his body to break free from the ...

That night, Bilbo couldn't quite sit still.

"I'll help," Garrett offered, following along.
Bilbo didn't refuse the assistance.
As they worked together to tidy the room, Garrett finally voiced a question that had been nagging at him, "By the way, what time is it now?"
"Now? Well, it's nighttime, of course. Most folk are abed at this hour."
While answering, Bilbo moved a small c...

That afternoon, Bilbo hurried straight to his pantry and pulled out a long string of sausages in various flavors. As a proper hobbit of the Shire, he was determined to give a warm welcome to Garrett, this friend who had come from such distant lands.
Garrett naturally didn't refuse such generous hospitality.
The two of them enjoyed a hearty "afternoon tea" together, though by most standards, it was practically a feast. While savoring the food he had personally prepared, his mind wa...

"Bilbo Baggins?" Garrett was stunned.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Well, that settled it, no wonder that wooden chest looked familiar.
That was his mother's dowry chest, wasn't it?
He couldn't help but glance at Bilbo. This poor hobbit had no idea what his home was about to go through in the coming years. Nor did he know that his mother's precious dowry chest would one day be used by a certain dwarf to prop up his feet.
At that moment, he suddenly felt ...

Before stepping into the interstellar age, it was not uncommon for civilizations to remain divided internally on their planets. In fact, this was the norm.
Due to long-standing conflicts and contradictions accumulated over time, the various factions and nations on these planets were often unable to unite against a common enemy.

Enjoyed a brief but earnest massage from Lelith.
With a flicker of thought, Kei opened a palm-sized magical portal, reached inside, and tossed the Torture-class Raider, along with the Drukhari on it, into the atmosphere of Terra.
The original Torture-class Raider, excluding its stealth tech, was outdated in most aspects compared to the cutting-edge technology in the Black Library. On top of that, its design was frankly ugly.

His popularity had become a double-edged sword, while it demonstrated Zaun's growing unity, it also meant he couldn't move freely without drawing crowds of well-wishers, petitioners, and the occasionally overzealous admirers who wanted to discuss policy reforms at length.
