The dazed and clueless goblin was placed on the ground, with only its head sticking out.
Its blank expression seemed to question why the sky above its head was reduced to just a small circular patch.
After some inspection, the players began offering their assessments.
"What a dumb look."
"You guys let this thing fool you the whole way?"
"At first, I thought the goblin was too smart. Now it seems like you all are just too dumb."

For a ninja, the journey from the Land of Fire to the Land of Bears took only half a day.
When they reached the border of the country, the three travelers were stopped by a natural barrier.
It was a massive canyon stretching for kilometers, so deep that the bottom could not be seen. The canyon was filled with a yellow gas. Anyone with even a hint of sense would hesitate to proceed after seeing the ominous fumes.
Thus, the trio decided to wait at the spot.
Before long, ...

In Konoha, Kagami was observing everything through the eyes of a spider.
Since Jiraiya returned to Konoha and announced his appointment as the Interim Hokage, he had harbored subtle concerns about the future events.
According to the original timeline, Jiraiya should currently be traveling with Naruto, training him and gradually becoming a mentor and guiding figure in his growth.
However, due to various historical issues, such as the lack of a month-long preparation period be...

In a boundless desert of swirling yellow sand stood exotic buildings, tall and mysterious. Unlike Konoha's greenery, Suna's architecture rose from the dunes like an extension of the landscape itself.
Beneath these structures, a Suna ninja squad tasked with routine patrol duties had gathered, chatting casually to pass the time.
The base was all about efficiency. They tracked every drop of water, and every scrap of food. Pretty different from how they was...

"Damn it! So you guys were sent by Doflamingo!"
"If he could send Vergo to infiltrate the Marine, then of course he could send you as well."
Rosinante's eyes lit up the moment he heard an opportunity to falsely accuse his own brother. He immediately seized the chance and coordinated with Tanaka, successfully shifting all the blame onto Doflamingo—sealing it so tightly that there was no way out.
"Just like Vergo."
"She's one of Doflamingo's people."

"Kalifa, is today a nice day to die?"
Tanaka appeared behind Kalifa at some point, pressing his back against hers. His right hand gripped the Kusanagi sword, bringing the blade around to the front of Kalifa, resting it against her neck.
"You."
Upon hearing this, her pupils contracted sharply, and waves of shock surged through her heart.
This guy! He knows my name?
Yes.
Not just her identity—but her actual name.
Even Rosinante had only confi...

As soon as Iruka finished reading out the names for Team 7, he noticed someone raising their hand.
"What's wrong, Konohamaru?"
"Iruka-sensei! Can I switch with Hinata?" Konohamaru asked loudly.
No way! If he wasn't on the same team, how could he defeat Naruto and make himself the boss? How could there be a boss who was not even in the same team?
Mizuki's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak.

Masashi glanced through the team assignment list on a single sheet of paper and finished reading it in just a few moments.
In the original timeline, there was a term called the "Konoha 12," referring to the twelve early genin who had the highest screen time in the original story.
Among them, Neji, Lee, and Tenten were a year ahead of the other nine.
However, to say that these twelve were the only talented individuals of their generation would be obviously incorrect.

When the battered and exhausted Silco stumbled back into the hideout and opened the door, what did he see?

Plates of roasted meat and other delicacies sat on the table, with one untouched setting that was clearly meant for him.

The Land of Rivers was a small country located at the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, named for its many rivers. Standing at the border, one could almost see where the lush vegetation of the Land of Rivers gave way to the harsh sands of Land of Wind.
This region was not initially a nation. Its origins dated back to the end of the Warring States period, when various ninja clans dominated the land.
The First Hokage sympathized with the har...

The Marine soldiers, who had been intimidated by Who's-Who at first, calmed down after being reassured by Rosinante. They were no longer swayed by his words.

Kalifa observed the changes in the expressions of all the Marine soldiers and was left with only one thought—this was their last chance to cause trouble for Tanaka, and Rosinante had completely ruined it.

Even though the climate of Minion Island was freezing cold, Rosinante was still wiping away cold sweat.

After all, the backgrounds of their worlds were different.

The number of Iwa ninjas was gradually decreasing.
Suna ninjas were also dwindling. After the last Suna ninja was impatiently swatted aside by Gaara, he was left surrounded solely by enemies.
Floating in midair using the Lightened Boulder Technique, Masashi observed the boy.
Shukaku truly lived up to its reputation as the noisiest tailed beast. The ten-year-old Gaara already had dark circles under his eyes, resembling eyeshadow from countless sleepless nights.

Tanaka had just completed a full set of Sixty-Four Palms on Jabra.
He was in a state where his old strength had been exhausted, and new strength had yet to be generated.
Facing Rankyaku, he truly had no time to dodge. He could only use his Byakugan to watch helplessly as the attack approached, slicing toward his back.

Immediately after, he lunged forward, not dodging or evading. With the superior insight of the Byakugan, he met Jabra's fist head-on.
Fist against fist.
