Orochimaru’s eyes narrowed.
"The Unscientific Ninja?"
Sand ninja. The unscientific prodigal ninja from the sand. A ghost.
The three key words connected in Orochimaru’s mind like pieces of a puzzle.
"You’re Mufasa?"
As an ally of the Sand Village, Orochimaru had done his research. He knew about Mufasa, the so-called "unscientific" genius of the Sand. But ...
Hiruzen Sarutobi heard a voice that sent a chill down his spine.
"Sensei..."
His eyes widened in shock as he turned to face the supposed Kazekage. With a slow, deliberate motion, the figure reached up and tore away the human skin mask. Beneath it was a face he had hoped never to see again—pale, snake-like, and twisted with amusement.
"Orochimaru..." Sarutobi whispered, sw...
The day of the third exam finally arrived.
The sky was clear, the sun shining brightly over Konoha. White clouds drifted lazily overhead, casting soft shadows on the bustling village below.
Today, the village’s gates were wide open, welcoming important guests from all over. Nobles and daimyos arrived in grand ox-drawn carriages, flanked by samurai guards, exuding an air of prest...
The stronger the Sand Ninja, the greater the threat to Konoha, making the planned attack all the more effective.
With the conclusion of the battle between Ino and Choji, the Chunin Exam qualifiers officially came to an end. The selected ten ninjas were given a month to rest and train for the finals. During this period, daimyo from various nations would arrive in Konoha to witness the bat...
The sounds of impact echoed through the dense forest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three Rain ninja tumbled through the underbrush, crashing against trees and rocks as they were forcefully pulled by an unseen force. Each impact was followed by a pained cry, their suffering becoming unbearable to listen to.
At that moment, Yu gritted his teeth through the pain and shouted, "Oboro, Mubi...
As Sasuke faced off against Dosu, he knew he needed answers—who had sent these enemies after him?
“Tatsuya, how do you know they’re here to kill you?” Sasuke asked looking at Tatsuya with a questioning gaze.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. “Because ever since they arrived in Konoha, they’ve been targeting you. They’re good at hiding their presence, but I noticed their move...
“Shikamaru, are you all right?”
Hearing Naruto’s concerned voice, Shikamaru exhaled and replied, “If you had come any later, things might have gone south for us.”
Seeing the tables turn in their favor, Choji smirked and taunted, “Hah! You guys thought you could bully us? Well, look at the numbers now—six against five. Let’s see what you do now!”
One of the...
“Boy, your ninjutsu skills are impressive,” Orochimaru mused, his sharp eyes narrowing. “But what about your taijutsu?”
Without warning, he lunged forward, his fist shooting toward Tatsuya's face with lethal precision.
Sasuke and Naruto barely had time to react. The sheer speed of the attack was terrifying.
But Tatsuya dodged effortlessly, tilting his head just enou...
“It’s a Grass Ninja!”
Sasuke tensed the moment he saw the female ninja approach. Beside him, Naruto wrinkled his nose and muttered, “Tatsuya, this isn't the fish that was supposed to take the bait, right?”
This so-called [Grass Ninja] didn’t match the [Rain Shinobi] they had expected. Something felt off.
At this moment, [Orochimaru] had yet to reveal his true id...
“Alright, listen up! The second exam is about to begin!” Anko Mitarashi announced with a mischievous grin.
Before anyone could get excited, she slammed a thick stack of papers onto the table. “But first, you all need to sign this [Consent Form]!”
“Huh? Why?” Naruto asked, clearly confused.
Anko smirked. “Because you could die at any moment during this exam. We...
At this moment, Tatsuya was surrounded by Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, and the others, all eager to know the answer.
“Tatsuya, did you know the test questions in advance?” Naruto blurted out first.
“Of course not!” Tatsuya replied with a smirk.
“Then how did you know how to pass the exam?” Sakura pressed, arms crossed.
“Easy!” Tatsuya said confidently. ...
[Anko Mitarashi], one of the striking kunoichi of Konoha's Hidden Village!
One of the legendary Sannin [Orochimaru]'s disciples, Anko has a bold personality and is classified as a [Tokubetsu Jounin], just like Morino Ibiki.
Her grand entrance was… well, let’s just say it made Ibiki sigh in exasperation. Sasuke and the others? They were completely thrown off.
“Alright,...
The tension in the classroom had reached its peak when Ibiki’s voice rang out once again.
“[Not taking the test]—raise your hand as a sign!”
“You may leave after registering your number.”
As soon as Ibiki finished speaking, the pressure finally became too much for some. A trembling hand went up.
“I… I won’t take the exam!”
One person’s de...
Some relied on their unique abilities, while others took a more practical approach!
Like Sakura and Hinata.
Sakura had no special means of cheating, but her strong theoretical knowledge allowed her to at least answer some questions. Hinata, despite having the Byakugan, didn’t even need to use it—her academic skills were solid enough to handle the exam. It seemed like female ni...
[301] In the classroom, Ibiki’s voice rang out, sharp and authoritative.
“Now, submit your [application forms] in order. After that, each of you will draw a number and take a seat accordingly.”
“Your written test papers will be distributed shortly.”
Most of the participants remained unfazed by the [written test], but one person was already on the verge of panic.
<... 2025-02-25 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostAfter filling everyone in on what they wanted to know, Tatsuya summed it all up.
“In short, based on what I’ve gathered, this year’s [Chunin Exams] have far more powerful participants than in previous years.”
“That means the difficulty of advancing to Chunin has also increased!”
Shikamaru, Sasuke, and the others nodded thoughtfully, their expressions turning seriou...
2025-02-25 04:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAlong the way, something strange caught Tatsuya’s attention. He noticed several freshmen who had come to sign up being taken away by their mentors. Their expressions were downcast, their shoulders slumped in defeat.
As Sakura rejoined her team, their mentor led them away, leaving Tatsuya, Naruto, and Sasuke to continue alone.
When the three of them arrived at the door of the [30...
At this moment, it wasn’t just Lee who was shocked.
Tenten, Neji, and Sakura were all watching the battle with wide eyes—especially Tenten and Neji. As Lee’s teammates, they understood his strength better than anyone. For someone to step in and stop him so effortlessly… that was no small feat.
But they weren’t the only ones present.
A man with even thicker eyebrow...
However, using only his raw strength, Naruto was clearly no match for Lee.
As expected, the result was inevitable!
With a swift, precise motion, Lee executed his signature move—[Konoha Gale]—a powerful sweeping kick that sent Naruto flying.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Naruto tumbled backward, rolling across the ground before crashing into the wall. His head spun, and for...
The next day.
After Tatsuya, Naruto, and Sasuke gathered at the agreed spot, they headed to the Ninja Academy together.
They were about to submit their [application form] for the [Chunin Selection Exam]!
However…
When the three arrived at Classroom [301] to submit their forms, they found a large crowd gathered at the scene.
And the sound of a fight filled th...
A few days later, Tatsuya and Naruto were heading to the meeting point designated by Kakashi when they sensed someone following them.
Not just one person—three.
Their tracking skills were so sloppy that even Naruto caught on immediately. He spun around and called out, "Konohamaru, your disguise is terrible!"
Hearing his name, Konohamaru huffed and pulled off his makeshift...
Seeing the group of thugs closing in, Tatsuya smirked and stepped forward, glancing at Kakashi. "Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke and I will handle this. Consider it a chance to see how much we’ve improved this past week."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "Uh… sure, go ahead."
Just as Tatsuya and Sasuke were preparing to engage, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
...
All three of Kakashi’s students turned to look at Tatsuya with a mix of confusion and surprise—especially Kakashi himself.
“If you had just guessed it, that’d be one thing. But I haven’t even taught you this yet… Are you trying to take my job?”
“Tatsuya, don’t tell me you already learned it?”
Tatsuya gave a small nod. “Yeah.”
Kakashi exhaled s...
The moonlight poured down like a silver waterfall, casting a soft glow over the room.
Kakashi stirred and slowly opened his eyes, his body still unable to move. His muscles felt heavy, his chakra reserves depleted. According to his own assessment, it would take at least a week of rest and training before he could properly recover.
"Tch... this really takes a toll on me," he mutter...
Haku’s eyes widened in shock at the sight before him. He never expected Tatsuya to have such mastery over the [Sharingan]—copying hand seals with just one hand was an unbelievable feat.
"This alone… he's already surpassed Kakashi," Haku thought, quickly snapping back to reality. There was no time for hesitation—if he faltered, Zabuza would be in even greater danger.
A mome...
[T/N: In the manga and anime, Haku uses his Ice release to create his needles, I don't know why the author changed it to Haku just using a normal metal needle but let's just say that it's an AU... Well, this is a fanfic, sooo... It is an AU. Anyways! Enjoy reading, and tell me what you think so far by commenting below.]
The atmosphere inside the ice crystal cage was heavy with tension, a...
Haku gazed at Sasuke and Naruto trapped within the ice mirrors, his voice calm yet firm.
“There’s no point in struggling."
“My movements are reflected through the mirrors. From my perspective, you two are practically standing still.”
Sasuke clenched his fists, his mind racing. Haku’s words stuck with him, but instead of letting frustration take over, he analyzed t...
Seeing the doubt on Sasuke and Naruto’s faces, Tatsuya decided to explain further.
“That’s the way it is.”
“Right now, we don’t know if Zabuza has any other allies nearby. If I stay back, I can protect Tazuna and Kakashi-sensei while keeping an eye on things.”
Noticing that his reasoning had swayed Sasuke and Naruto, Tatsuya smirked and added a little challeng...
As Kakashi and Zabuza fell, the surface of the water churned, ripples spreading outward as something began to take shape.
A moment later—
Two massive dragons, formed entirely from water, surged into the air. They were nearly identical in size, mirroring each other perfectly.
Then, before anyone could react, the two water dragons collided.
Boom!
A deafening c...
The air was eerily still.
No sound, no movement—yet, an ominous presence crept closer to Tatsuya and the others, hidden within the thick mist.
Kakashi’s [Sharingan] was powerful, but with his vision hindered by the fog, he couldn't pinpoint Zabuza’s exact location. However, Tatsuya’s own [Sharingan], unburdened by such limitations, caught the slightest shift in the mist.
