Konoha Prison wasn't a place just anyone could be thrown into.

The Police Force's reforms included changes to the prison as well.

In the past, anyone sentenced to jail time was simply locked up here. But now, things were different.

Cases involving petty crimes like theft or street fights were handled separately—offenders were kept in dedicated detention centers under the jurisdiction of the Police Force.

Only criminals involved in major and heinous crimes were impris...

"I... I know some basic arithmetic. What can I do?"

Viktor spoke in a low voice, wanting to see how this former gang member-turned-enforcer would arrange things.

"So, you do have some literacy and knowledge, huh? Makes sense. You definitely have that scholarly air about you, totally different from a brute like me." The enforcer smiled with genuine warmth as he studied Viktor. "Bet you could do more than just count coins."

"I... prefer to start from the bottom," Viktor replie...

Viktor resigned from all his positions at Piltover Academy, returning everything that belonged to the institution. Each item he handed back felt like shedding a layer of his Upper City life.

Even the decent clothes provided by the Academy were returned by him. He folded each garment carefully, remembering the years he'd spent wearing them in pursuit of progress.

No, he wore a set of cheap clothing, produced by a Zaunite textile factory. The rough fabric scratched against his skin,...

---Third POV---

ProGamer_Daddy exclaimed, "Something's wrong! Viktor is starting to talk philosophy!"

"Discussing the future with the dead—oops, I mean, the undead—what a bizarre image..." Hedgehog said.

NeverShowOff furrowed his brow in thought.

An NPC taking the initiative to ask players questions? It was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.

The future… perspectives…

Wasn't this basically a survey?

He immediately thought of ...

On the training field, the students were running.

This was Masashi's requirement. Although the students didn't understand why the first part of their outdoor activity was running, they obediently followed the instruction.

He stood in the middle of the field, observing the students.

According to his instructions, the students were allowed to use chakra while running.

So, he simply watched from the side.

At first, the students ran with ease, as their previous train...

HSU: Ch. 196

The inclusion of cultural studies was the biggest change in the Ninja Academy from the Second Hokage's era to the Third Hokage's era.

Starting from Hiruzen's time, cultural studies became one of the main subjects in the Academy. Students would take these classes from the foundation stage all the way to the practice stage.

Many students were eager to progress to the application stage as soon as possible, largely because it meant they wouldn't have to take cultural studies anymore.<...

Faced with the sincere invitation, with Viktor reaching out his hand, Jayce did not take it as readily as before.

Back then, it was Viktor who extended a helping hand when Jayce's lab was destroyed, redeeming him.

But now, the same hand that once helped him up now seemed to offer something far more terrifying.

So, he instinctively shrank back.

He hesitated, afraid to grasp the hand.

Joining Viktor's glorious evolution would mean cutting ties with everything from ...

"Alright, alright, I'll answer your question."

Jayce sat across from Viktor, sighing helplessly as he continued, "After I invented the collapsible pocket wrench, patent protection meant that I was the only one making them. If others wanted to produce it, they had to pay me patent fees, which made their costs too high, so they couldn't do it."

"Even though that wrench isn't anything particularly advanced, its design is ingenious and makes workers' jobs much easier. People are willi...

"Shino! What just happened? Why were all those insects chasing us?"

Kiba's face showed a mix of shock and lingering fear. While those were just ordinary insects and not the trained destructive insects of the Aburame clan, theoretically without much lethal capability, the sheer number—millions, perhaps more—of insects chasing them was overwhelming.

Shino shook his head, revealing his own confusion. "I don't know either. This is the first time I've encountered something like thi...

---Viktor's POV---

I found myself alone in the warehouse once again.

Stretching lazily, I nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good. As long as I adjust the NPC working hours, there won't be any issues with Alyanne either!"

With player slots available and Alyanne running smoothly, even Edgar's side could spare two newbies to act as NPCs. If I didn't bring in new players now, then when?

A streak of silver light flashed across the sky.

I glanced at the 21 divine pow...

"Masashi~~" Minato dragged out the familiar ending sound as soon as he spoke. "Come, come, have some tea. Let's chat."

"…"

"Hokage-sama, just say what you need to say." Masashi was reluctant to sit down—he wanted to slip away.

Based on his years of experience, if Minato started with this tone, there was absolutely nothing good coming next.

But Minato was persistent. He forcibly pulled Masashi onto the sofa and started making tea.

"Masashi~~" Minato repeated w...

HSU: Ch. 194

It was the Year 60.

This year, the ninja world remained peaceful.

It had been six years since Konoha and Kumo officially ended their state of war in Year 54. Since then, there had been no military conflicts among the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Each of the Five Great Nations had been developing their economies in an atmosphere of peace. The wounds left by the Third Shinobi World War had completely healed after years of recovery.

By Year 59, Kumo, which had been struggli...

Viktor gazed deeply at Jayce, his research partner, his only friend in the Upper City. If only he could see beyond the walls they've built around his mind.

He knew that although Jayce was arrogant, self-absorbed, and full of pride, he was, at his core, a good person.

Jayce didn't truly care about wealth or fame. He pursued science with passion, even at the risk of exile, all for the advancement of Hextech. Each sleepless night, each failed experiment proved that much.

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 45

"Jayce, what's wrong with you? Why are you shouting Cipher's name so loudly?"

Viktor put down The Book of Revolution and looked at his friend with confusion. The normally composed scientist was red-faced, his hands clenched into tight fists.

He couldn't understand why he was screaming Cipher's name as if he were a mortal enemy.

"Viktor, listen to me first. He's been lying to us. All this time!" Jayce paced the room, his boots clicking against the stone floor. "Cipher has dec...

---Ryouma's POV---

Across the park, I gathered with the others to discuss our plan. The situation with Kakashi's father needed careful consideration.

I'd chosen this spot carefully, the old oak trees provided enough cover to mask our presence from casual observers, while the open spaces meant no one could sneak up on us unnoticed.

Kakashi stood with his back against one of the massive trunks, arms crossed, trying to maintain his usual aloof demeanor. But the slight tapping o...

The power of senjutsu was a blind spot in the Uchiha ninjutsu system.

The curse seal, however, was a shortcut independently developed by Orochimaru.

Even for Masashi, who had already mastered Sage Mode, this technique was highly beneficial.

In the original timeline, this curse seal greatly contributed to Orochimaru's immortality.

He was indeed a genius, in every sense of the word.

"Curse Seal?" Orochimaru didn't agree immediately. Instead, he recalled the entire ...

HSU: Ch. 192

Deep underground, Orochimaru was organizing his new laboratory.

Looking at the brand-new equipment, he was quite satisfied.

Leaving Konoha made him realize how difficult it was for Danzō.

These devices were not easy to acquire…

He had even secretly taken some funds from Akatsuki's treasury. Hopefully, Kakuzu wouldn't notice.

He must complete that jutsu.

Only eternal life could carry his dreams forward.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed through the...

---Viktor's POV---

Great Leader, huh?

I sighed internally at this formulaic prefix. It was the reward trigger I had set up myself.

Back when players discovered the iron ore vein, I promised to assist them three times if the trigger was used. Each time, I would cast a spell at or below the intermediate level.

The Initial intention was to enrich the variety of quest rewards while giving players—who couldn't become intermediate-level mages in a short time�...

Due to the dangers of Hextech, Piltover Academy specially approved the construction of a high-standard laboratory building, handing it over to Jayce and Viktor.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the glass of the Hextech laboratory. Viktor hadn't slept all night, dark circles heavy under his eyes, but his gaze remained sharp despite the bloodshot veins.

He sat hunched over his workbench, pen in hand, sketching and jotting down notes as he pored over the Book of Revolution...

"Bikōchū?"

Jiraiya found the name somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite recall what it referred to when it was suddenly brought up.

So Shino began to explain, "Yes, Bikōchū are a type of insect we bug users rely on. These bugs lay eggs only once every few years, and in the short period after hatching, the larvae cocoon themselves and quickly emerge as adults."

"During this brief window, if Bikōchū are trained to distinguish scents, they can detect even the faintest ...

---Ryouma's POV---

After completing an intense training session, Rin and I decided to visit the ninja tool shop. I inspected my dulled kunai with a critical eye. These were getting dull faster than expected.

The life of a ninja, despite its high earnings, came with equally high expenses.

On our way to the shop, we overheard several villagers murmuring among themselves.

"Did you hear? That White Fang abandoned his mission."

"What?! Are you talking about the same h...

---Ryouma's POV---

"Shuriken Shadow Clone!"

I watched as Rin tossed a single shuriken into the air and immediately formed a series of hand seals. Her movements were getting faster, more precise with each practice session. In an instant, the single flying shuriken multiplied into dozens, clattering against the wooden target.

"Yay! I finally succeeded, Ryouma!"

We were in a secluded section of the forest on the outskirts of Konoha's third training ground, a spot I had me...

---Ryouma's POV---

"My name is Aotsuki Ryouma. I enjoy studying ninjutsu, dislike unexpected events, and my dream is to protect the peaceful life I have."

I finished my self-introduction in a methodical manner and sat down.

"He's so cute!" A girl in the class whispered softly.

This wasn't surprising. In the shinobi world, where the average lifespan was less than 40, kids matured early. The harsh reality of our world pushed everything forward, childhood, training, even ...

The daimyō of the Land of Rice Fields was in a great mood recently.

After all, the country finally had its own ninja village with a formal partnership.

He didn't know the founder of this village, which wasn't surprising—there were so many ninjas in the world that recognizing every single one would be impossible.

However, the person must be quite capable—an elite jonin!

For the Land of Rice Fields, having a village with an elite jonin willing to be stationed in the...

The Kumo ninjas had returned home to raise funds.

The initial payment of 3 billion ryō, along with a series of losses from their fallout with Konoha, was enough to completely wipe out the profits Kumo had gained from the Third Great Ninja War.

In the current shinobi world, aside from Kumo, only Suna could possibly come up with such a large amount of liquid funds at once.

Even Konoha couldn't do it.

Konoha was wealthy, but it also lacked money.

This was the exact...

The Book of Revolution specifically records a little-known history, the fall of the Shurima Empire.

The empire's last emperor, Azir, was betrayed during his Ascension ritual by his most trusted slave and strategist, Xerath.

Xerath pushed Azir aside and stole the power of Ascension. The ritual chamber erupted in blinding light. Golden magic meant for an emperor twisted and writhed, turning violent and uncontrolled.

The mistake in the ritual caused the Sun Disc's immense Ascen...

Looking at the two people who were only marginally better dressed than beggars, NeverShowOff's head was full of questions.

He glanced behind him to make sure there was no one else.

"Where's Viktor? Finished the mission? Did you find the dwarf mentioned in the task?"

Surely the dwarf couldn't be… LootGoblin, right?

Garble struggled to poke his head out of the pile of silk and, upon seeing NeverShowOff and the others, his expression relaxed a litt...

In fact, red-scaled worms have a limited distance they can travel in a day.

While the players were still worried about running into magical creatures, we had already made it through the thorny terrain.

We arrived at a relatively open clearing in the forest. Setting aside the potential dangers lurking in the shadows, the terrain here was quite suitable as a temporary resting point.

The ground was scattered with footprints and drag marks in disarray. 2025-02-09 23:05:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Ever since settling in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning, the Kumo ninjas had made full use of the area.

During its early days, Kumo was not particularly strong among the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

At that time, the strongest was undoubtedly Konoha—this was beyond question.

Next in line were Kiri and Suna.

The First Kazekage dared to act boldly at the Five Kage Summit because he believed that only Konoha was a true threat—and he was confident that Konoha would n...

Dodai did not continue arguing with Masashi.

There was nothing wrong with his words on the surface.

The key issue was…

Kumo had lost, and lost miserably—worse than ever since its founding.

Masashi was already giving him some respect by only discussing commercial rules rather than ninja rules.

"I understand..." Dodai said in a low voice. "I'll take another look."

He buried his head back into the documents.

"Of course, that is your right," Masashi r...
