The battle between the flames and the smoke intensified.
Tashigi smacked her forehead anxiously and said, "Captain Smoker is fighting a powerful enemy!"
With that, the bespectacled girl waved her arm at the soldiers and ordered, "Hurry over there! Support the captain!"
"Yes!"
The marines rushed off, and Tashigi followed.
After a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to grab Noir.
Noir was touched by Tashigi's devotion, but did she rea...

Tashigi snapped out of it and stared at the man in front of her. Clutching her sword, she asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The marines behind her also watched Noir warily. Undeterred, Noir chuckled and said, "I am a cold-blooded assassin!"
Tashigi drew her famous sword, Shigure, and the soldiers aimed their rifles at Noir.
Noir twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "All right, actually, I'm just an ordinary pirate hunter. You're not going to back out of the deal, are yo...

Hokage Tower
"Eh, Kaigetsu, what brings you to my Hokage office today?" Minato Namikaze asked playfully, looking at Gojo Kaigetsu standing before his desk.
As a Hokage advisor, receiving an advisor's salary, yet rarely appearing in the Hokage Tower, such severe dereliction of duty was rare in the shinobi world.
If not for the strong bond between Minato and Gojo Kaigetsu, the overwhelming number of impeachments would have inevitably led to the dismissal of hi...

On the outskirts of Kumogakure stood a weathered building.
It was a large ninja tool shop, a rare sight these days.
Decades ago, during Kumogakure's peak, there was at least one such shop in every corner of the village.
They sold ninja tools, along with basic intel and restorative medicine.
The muscle-bound ninjas of Kumogakure, after completing their missions and rigorous training, would often gather here to rest their weary legs, replenish their strength with muscle-...

"No, why a reduction?"
"Isn't a reduction an adjustment?" Gojo Kaigetsu's expression darkened.
"I'm a kind-hearted person. Not only will salaries be reduced, but our fellow workers must receive every penny owed to them. You, Koyama-kun, will be responsible for managing the funds."
Koyama Ichiro's face grew even darker. Not giving him money, and now expecting him to pay the firewood workers?
He suppressed his anger. "Then, what about awarding bonuses to outstanding work...

Yugito Nii, eighteen years old, was a Special Jonin of Kumogakure.
Her long, tea-brown hair was styled in a braid that reached her waist, giving the fleeting impression of reins.
(Due to reasons we all understand, her age has been adjusted.)
Yugito possessed a haughty personality. Standing over 170 centimeters tall, she often carried herself with a queenly air. However, she could also be understanding and gentle, making her a classic example of a tough exterior hiding a warm...

Danzo Shimura's lips curled into an ugly, forced smile. The Root shinobi behind him tensed, stepping back to shield their leader. The way they looked at Gojo now was filled with apprehension and caution.
That fleeting glimpse just now revealed the presence of Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, standing atop the power pole. The clan leader's involvement carried significant weight. Unless tonight was meant to be the final breaki...

After hearing the analysis from his advisory team, Raikage A folded his arms, a dismissive snort escaping his lips as he offered his critique:
"That Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, doesn't even seem like a real leader. Has Konoha Village fallen so low that it's all about favoritism now?"
"Or has Konoha declined to the point where even a Chūnin can hold such a prestigious position?"

In the 39th year of Konoha, the village faced its most economically challenging period. The Second Shinobi World War had nearly drained Konoha of its lifeblood.
On this day, a difficult case was being handled at the Konoha Police Force. The case did not involve any powerful ninja. Instead, an elderly woman, nearly sixty years old, was brought in, her expression filled with more shame than sorrow. She had been caught stealing ration pills from a store, and the shopkeeper had reported her...

Ordinary ninjas envy them, the villagers of Konoha detest them, and the higher-ups of Konoha grant them the "Police Force" honor. These three factors form a whirlpool that constantly drags the Uchiha clan deeper into the abyss.
Furthermore, since the founding of Konoha, there has always been a sense of vigilance against the Uchiha clan. This vigilance, like an ideological barrier, keeps the Uchiha clan outside the core power structure of Konoha. The perception of the "inherently evil Uc...

Operating within the borders of Konoha for an extended period, getting close to and possibly assassinating high-profile figures…
Gojo Kaigetsu felt a sense of urgency. He couldn't allow such a dangerous spy to operate within Konoha; it was crucial to identify and eliminate this threat as quickly as possible.
Imagine the scenario!
A 15-year-old prodigy like Sasori was able to assassinate the Third Kazekage. Ninja tactics can't be easily classified by rank alone, whether it'...

The gaze was mutual.
As Samui studied Gojo Kaigetsu, he was also scrutinizing her, this woman highly suspected of being a spy from the Hidden Cloud.
From the moment he laid eyes on her, Gojo Kaigetsu confirmed her identity-Samui, a ninja from the Hidden Cloud.
And the reason was simple…
She was simply too impressive.
Her physical presence was overwhelming, rivaling even the strongest, like Tsunade in her prime. It was clear that Samui possessed extraordinary po...

However, for the sake of objectivity, Samui still wanted to hear Gojo Kaigetsu's perspective.

Of course, Noir also wanted to see how far he could go on the Grand Line with a legitimate identity.
