“Sir, what happened in there?”
As soon as Jack emerged from the cave, Kalifa and the others quickly surrounded him. They had been training nearby when a massive roar echoed from deep within, prompting them to retreat immediately in case something had gone wrong.
Jack briefly recounted the events and issued a clear warning: "No one is to enter that chamber without permission." 2025-06-08 08:31:53 +0000 UTC View Post
"Sasuke, you are my future."
Just as Toshiro was contemplating sending Naruto to rescue Gaara, far away in the depths of Orochimaru’s lair, a far more personal war was unfolding—a battle for control of Sasuke's body.
"Hmph."
Sasuke let out a cold snort, his crimson Sharingan gleaming like a predator's gaze.
"Crawling snakes and insects think they can challenge a hawk...

Despite the powerful benefits of training inside the cave, it drained stamina quickly. Fukuro had barely emerged before devouring half the fish in one sit...

"That’s enough for today, Sasuke."
His voice was firm, but not harsh.

This was a time of pea...
2025-06-04 20:04:24 +0000 UTC View Post"So that's it!" Jack muttered as realization dawned on him the moment he felt the attack. Something clicked in his mind—he was beginning to understand. There was no intent behind the slashes, they were just strong and fast wind slashes. Because of this his haki is unable to capture it.
With his body cloaked in Haki for protection, Jack stepped cautiously into the cave. The deeper he ven...
2025-06-04 15:38:39 +0000 UTC View PostAfter leaving his older brother's home, Sasuke wandered aimlessly through the streets of Konoha, the cool afternoon breeze brushing past as his thoughts drifted.
He couldn’t stop thinking about Naruto.
Back in the Ninja Academy, Naruto had been average at best—barely able to perform a simple clone jutsu, scraping the bottom of every written exam. And yet now... he had become a f...

As Sasuke stepped ins...

This time, Jack planned to directly enhance his overall base strengths and swordsmanship.

“No need. A small boat will do. Just bring Kaku ...

“First match: Konoha’s Hyuga Neji vs Kumo's Omoi.”

This time, their pace was noticeably slower than usual.
It was as if they were trying to savor the dwindling time they had left.
“Kid, let me grill the meat tonight,” Juzo said, flashing a rare, almost boyish smile as he clenched his teeth and reached for the skewer.
Itachi, who had been preparing to handle the cooking as usual, paused and looked over.
That smile—carefre...
“Juzo’s been with us for years. Can’t I just speak to him directly and have him watch over Itachi? There’s no need for this roundabout suspicion.”
He glared at the masked man, unimpressed by his apparent lack of foresight.
“It’s not about logic,” Obito said quietly. “I just don’t trust him.”
In his mind, the image of Uchiha Itachi lingered—those inscrut...

He hadn’t attempted anything like this before, which made it all the more exciting for him. If it had been familiar, he might have been bored. But a first-time experiment? That was different.
Without a word, Itachi pulled out another scroll.

It was clear he was negotiating.
His tone was relaxed, even amused. He had no intention of staying tied down. If he wanted to leave Akatsuki, he could vanish at will.
To Orochimaru, borders were...

To be honest, he was tempted to set the whole crowd ablaze. They were too slow, too indecisive. Part of him even wanted to test if Amaterasu, supposedly incapable of killing outright, really couldn't kill anyone…
And truthfully, his instincts weren’t wrong. Very few had a...

The town was a melting pot of travelers, mercenaries, a...

“Yoshiji Yamamoto. Civilian-born. Known for his brute strength and massive chakra reserves. Konoha only offered ten million ryo for him, so I guess he didn’t have access to any of your village’s top secrets—wasn’t worth much.”

Trailing behind Juzo to report to Pain, Itachi felt a flicker of unease. But he forced himself to remain composed.

Itachi, still toying with the discarded human-skin mask, glanced over in mild surprise.
