Tuesday
When the Genius Class students arrived at the Academy’s training ground, they were met with an unexpected sight—
a crowd of white-coated medical ninjas standing in the middle of the field.
“Eh? Why are there so many medical ninja here?” Kiba asked, scratching his head.
“Don’t tell me they’re here for a physical checkup?” Naruto’s eyes wide...

“Mori-senpai, what are you doing?”
Back inside the tent, Mori had unrolled a scroll and was busy with something that immediately caught Tenzo’s attention.
“Training.”
Tenzo fell silent for a moment, his tone carryin...
2025-10-22 08:58:51 +0000 UTC View PostAfter lunch, Kitazawa arrived at the Hokage Building.
He was about to step inside when he paused, glanced upward, and took a few steps back.
From his position, the window of the Hokage’s office was perfectly visible.
A small grin tugged at his lips.
With a light leap, Kitazawa landed gracefully on the windowsill.
He’d seen Jiraiya use this entrance countless ti...
2025-10-22 04:21:24 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone else had already left—except Fugaku.
“Fugaku, is there something else you need?” Tsunade noticed him lingering and asked directly.
“Can this jutsu for limb regeneration work on the Sharingan?” Fugaku asked without preamble.
“The Sharingan?”
Tsunade paused, immediately understanding what he meant. Her gaze instinctively shifted toward Kitazawa.

Two days had passed since the ceremony.
Because Tsunade had already assumed office a week earlier, there wasn’t much visible change in Konoha before or after the event. The village continued its steady rhythm—calm on the surface, quietly shifting beneath.
As for new appointments, those decisions would take time.
Jiraiya, true to form, had already left...
2025-10-22 03:46:12 +0000 UTC View PostRoshi slept more soundly that night than he had in weeks. When he finally woke the next morning, sunlight was already streaming through the paper windows—and he realized he was the last one up.
Itachi had clearly gone home and returned; his clothes were different now, and he was sitting at the table with Anko, quietly eating dango.
Those two really would never get tired of dango.<...
2025-10-21 19:13:38 +0000 UTC View PostBetween Iwagakure and Suna stretched a string of small nations—from east to west lay the Land of Rain, the Land of Birds, the Land of Stones, and finally, the Land of Silence.
Because of Hanzō’s fearsome reputation in the past, both Iwagakure and Sunagakure preferred to avoid battle on the Land of Rain’s soil whenever possible.
Instead, the Land of Birds, the Land of Stones, ...
2025-10-21 16:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostKitazawa stepped forward and bowed slightly.
“Let’s go.”
Tsunade waited until he finished, then said quietly, “It’s about time. Let’s grab some lunch.”
“At home?” Kitazawa asked, glancing at her.
“No. I want to drink.”
Her tone left no room for doubt.
Kitazawa sighed, rubbing his temple. “That’s a problem. Shizune-senpai definitely w...
2025-10-21 16:46:03 +0000 UTC View PostKitazawa arrived at the Hokage’s Office right on time, nine in the morning.
“Lord Kitazawa.”
At the entrance stood Haru, bowing slightly. “Hokage-sama went to receive the Fire Daimyo and hasn’t returned yet.”
“Then I’ll wait for her,” Kitazawa said with a nod.
He stepped inside and settled onto the sofa, calm as ever. But he wasn’t idle—his hands mo...
2025-10-21 14:05:58 +0000 UTC View PostTsunade sat in the Hokage’s chair, still feeling a strange sense of unreality.
She had never wanted this. Becoming Hokage had never been part of her plans—yet somehow, here she was.
Thinking back, it all started because of Kitazawa’s idea of “Psychological Medical Ninja.”
Curious, she had returned to Konoha to see it for herself.
And from that point on, fate ha...
2025-10-21 13:39:40 +0000 UTC View PostKitazawa and Tsunade had already left the outskirts of Konoha, their silhouettes fading into the dense forest of the Land of Fire.
“Where do you think Danzo will try to ambush us?” Tsunade asked evenly.
“I doubt he’ll resort to an ambush.”
Kitazawa shook his head. “Someone like him prefers a direct approach. He’ll show himself.”
“Oh?” Tsunade arched a...
2025-10-20 17:56:50 +0000 UTC View PostNot wanting to continue the discussion about Konoha’s proposed reinforcements, Rasa decisively ended the meeting and asked Roshi to leave.
Even with the Kazekage’s verbal assurance to uphold the alliance, Team 5’s movements within Sunagakure remained tightly restricted.
Only after Roshi’s repeated requests did the Village reluctantly allow them a sliver of freedom—permissi...
2025-10-17 11:36:21 +0000 UTC View PostTeam 5 remained in the Hidden Sand Village for two days.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, finally returned from the Northern Fortress. He didn’t summon Team 5 right away—instead, he quietly listened to Ebizo’s detailed report on the negotiations.
“These are the conditions,” Ebizo concluded. “Konoha’s bottom line is quite firm.” 2025-10-17 11:34:37 +0000 UTC View Post
This time, the resting quarters provided by Sunagakure were far more spacious.
Anko exhaled heavily, patting her chest as though calming her pounding heart. “That Suna Advisor’s presence was terrifying. How did you manage to stay so calm, Roshi? My legs were about to give out.”
She frowned, lowering her voice. “Also… are we really fine with agreeing to so many of their ter...
2025-10-17 11:33:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe announcement of the Hokage selection process sent a wave of excitement through Konoha Village.
A new Hokage meant new leadership, new reforms—and new opportunities.
Few Hokage ever retained their predecessor’s full administration. Those with ambition or influence would soon find doors opening. Even the great clans began to stir, weighing how this shift might reshape their fo...
2025-10-17 10:32:29 +0000 UTC View Post“Sunagakure is in no rush for an answer. Take your time to consider it, ally.”
Ebizo’s frail hand waved lazily through the air. At his cue, two Sand shinobi silently appeared by the doorway, motioning for their guests to leave.
Roshi maintained his calm, unreadable expression, gave a polite nod, and turned to exit with Anko and Itachi close behind.
As they stepp...
2025-10-16 09:10:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis man was unmistakably a Suna ninja.
“Konoha Jōnin Roshi,” he introduced himself in a firm, clear voice. “By order of the Hokage, I’m here to deliver urgent classified intelligence to our ally—the Sunagakure.”
As his words faded, Roshi flicked his wrist and sent an envoy’s scroll spinning through the air, its wax seal stamped with the Third Hokage’s insignia.

They fought with courage—reckless, desperate courage.
But it was meaningless.
Moments later, silence returned.
Only corpses remained.
Sunagakure. Iwagakure.
The narrow valley reeked of iron and dust.
Raidō flicked the blood from his black blade, the dark green poison pattern along its edge spreading visi...
2025-10-16 07:20:42 +0000 UTC View PostAfter classes ended, Kitazawa returned home.
“Why are you so late?”
Kurenai glanced up from the sofa, one eyebrow slightly raised. “Did you have a meeting all day?”
“No, I stopped by the Academy this afternoon,” Kitazawa replied, settling beside her.
“I see,” Kurenai said thoughtfully. “Did your students miss you?”
“I just planned to check in ...
2025-10-15 13:57:22 +0000 UTC View PostAfter finishing his discussion with the students of the Genius Class, Kitazawa walked over to Kakashi.
“Congratulations, Kitazawa,” Kakashi said in his usual lazy drawl, his trademark dead-fish eyes half-lidded.
Kitazawa arched an eyebrow. “And what exactly am I being congratulated for?”
“For surpassing me in reputation,” Kakashi replied coolly. “You made quite t...
2025-10-15 12:47:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe Iwa Jonin’s facial muscles twitched violently as he watched his own Ninjutsu backfire, turning into a tomb for his comrades. Rage and disbelief surged through him, threatening to drown out all reason.
Then—
A sharp whooshing tore through the canyon air.
From the opposite cliffside, four figures burst forth, shrouded in wind and sand. Their flak jackets gleamed faintly ...
2025-10-15 11:53:28 +0000 UTC View PostIt took two full days to reach Sunagakure from Konoha at full speed.
During the journey, Roshi found himself lost in thought. Because he was thinking while leaping through the forest, his pace slowed slightly, placing him somewhere in the middle of the formation.
Itachi landed quietly beside him, lowering his voice.
“Captain.”
Roshi glanced at him, noticing a faint c...
2025-10-15 11:52:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe Jonin were roused from their sleep by urgent summons, and before dawn could even break, the whole of Konoha stirred awake.
The Hyuga compound, however, was eerily silent. Homura and Koharu, escorted by a squad of Anbu, had entered the premises to manage the aftermath personally.
Roshi did not follow. He had neither the authority nor the reason to. The Hyuga grounds were sealed...
2025-10-15 11:31:30 +0000 UTC View PostTsunade naturally understood what Hiruzen was aiming for.
His intentions were almost too transparent.
“I’ll need someone to assist me,” she said after a moment of silence.
“No problem.”
Hiruzen’s expression softened into a pleased smile. “You can mobilize any shinobi in the village as you see fit.”
“…”
Tsunade’s lips twitched.
The piercing cry of an eagle ripped through Konoha’s night sky.
Under an emergency summons, shadows flashed across rooftops and empty streets—Jonin and Special Jonin converging toward the Hokage Building.
When Roshi arrived, the office was already filled. The air felt heavy, suffocating, as if pressing down on everyone present. Fugaku stood among the ranks, expression dark and u...
2025-10-14 14:06:45 +0000 UTC View PostThere were two main ways to seal ninjutsu onto a scroll.
The first involved writing the jutsu formula with special ink, then performing the technique to imprint the chakra within the scroll.
The second—far more advanced—required inscribing the jutsu pattern directly with one’s own chakra, relying primarily on Yin Release.
For most, the first method was safer and more sta...

The assistant in the Hokage’s Office spoke with practiced politeness.
It was rare for the Third Hokage to be away. Roshi was about to leave when he ran into two familiar figures.

When the trio entered, they immediately noticed someone new waiting inside.
He wore a skintight green jumpsuit under a matching flak vest, his thick eyebrows casting shadows over eyes that blazed with vitality. His entire face radiated one word—youth 2025-10-13 18:18:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Anko’s whereabouts were still unknown.
