“This is such a drag. I thought once everything was settled, I’d finally get to relax,” Kakashi muttered, exhaling a deep sigh as he stared at a towering stack of paperwork. Dark circles under his eyes revealed the toll the job was taking on him.

Chapter 25: The Assassination of Madara Uchiha

Beneath the towering mountains and under the roar of a massive waterfall, Madara Uchiha stood alone. Cold mountain winds howled through the canyon, battering his long cloak and lashing at the rocks below.

He looked like a lone pine tree rooted against the storm, a monument of quiet strength. His obsidian-black hair was ...

“My eyes have always been like this. There’s nothing to be surprised about.”

Shinji answered calmly, waving off their reactions like it was no big deal.

Chapter 232: The Birth of Pain

Land of Rain.

Torrents of rain poured relentlessly from the skies. On a long stone bridge arching over a vast lake sixty kilometers outside Amegakure, Yahiko’s group met with Hanzō of the Salamander. Water streamed down their faces as the young leader of the Akatsuki and Amegakure’s most feared shinobi regarded each other, the gia...

Chapter 442: The Shinobi World Will Ultimately Belong to the Akatsuki

On the battlefield of the Fourth Great Shinobi War, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged puzzled glances.

After Black Zetsu stabbed Madara Uchiha in the back and brought Kaguya forth, the two had already prepared themselves for a fierce battle against her, intending to fulfill the mission entrusted to them...

Chapter 24: United Front

Mū gave a silent nod. He had already anticipated the need for more allies. Tobirama alone brought their chances up dramatically, but if Mū wanted certainty, if he wanted to crush Madara with overwhelming force, then reinforcements were essential.

“I can try reaching out to Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure,” he said steadily, eyes...

Under the cover of night, Mū slipped into Konohagakure, his body cloaked and his chakra expertly suppressed.

"Um… I’d really like to know what exactly you're here for?"

Shinji finally broke the silence, glancing at Fubuki, who was still lounging like she lived there.

"It’s nothing serious," she replied casually. "I just wanted to come and check in."

"That’s… understandable." Shinji muttered under his breath, eyeing the emp...

Chapter 231: Good and Evil

Land of Rain.

The rain poured down endlessly, a curtain of cold needles drenching the earth. Although the weather was miserable, Yahiko, leader of the Akatsuki, was in an unusually good mood.

For the first time in the history of the shinobi world, true peace seemed to be forming, faint but tangible, thanks to his efforts. After confi...

Chapter 441: Byakuya Ōtsutsuki?

Once Kaguya locked onto him, Byakuya felt an unprecedented sense of danger surge within.

Kaguya was, without question, the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered. Her technique, All-Killing Ash Bones, could even annihilate members of the Ōtsutsuki clan outright. Although Byakuya considered himself a formidable fighter even amon...

“That’s right, we have to protect you!”

“Sage Mode!” Mū’s voice rang out as his eyes turned pitch black in an instant. Almost immediately, he formed a second clone and sent it to hide in the shadows, silently gathering sage chakra as a safeguard. Mū was the kind of man who never acted without a contingency.

Even when victory felt inevitable, he stayed vigi...

Mangekyō Sharingan…?

Shinji blinked in surprise at the system prompt. He already had both Kamui eyes, so why had the system just rewarded him with another Mangekyō Sharingan?

Was he supposed to switch between two pairs now? Alternate between sets like changing outfits?

It didn’t make any sense. But before he ...

Amegakure, Land of Rain.

This place held a unique and complex status in the shinobi world. After all, over a decade ago, it had dared to stand alone against the entire shinobi system. Especially under the leadership of Hanzō of the Salamander, a man once revered as a demigod among shinobi. The current "Legendary Three" ...

Hearing the extreme coldness in Byakuya’s tone, Kakashi suddenly realized he had spoken out of turn.

Byakuya was a powerhouse on the same level as Madara Uchiha. Whether he joined the Allied Shinobi Forces or faked his death to retreat, everything was by his own will.

How could a mere jōnin like him dare to question Byakuya?<...

Dr. Genus didn’t answer. He just stood there, frozen. That silence was more telling than any words. It wasn’t just a moment of doubt. This was full-on despair, the kind that sinks deep into your bones. Everything he’d built, everything he thought he knew. It had all come crashing down.

Thinking back to his first encounter with Byakuya.

When he first met Byakuya, the latter had been introduced as a regular Chūnin in the Akatsuki. Yet beneath that façade lay a power so formidable it even made Minato-sensei wary. Later, during subsequent interactions, Byakuya had saved both him and Nohara Rin.

At that exact moment, deep within the mountain cave, Mū’s real body tensed sharply. He could feel it, something was happening to his clone. The sensation wasn’t just ordinary feedback.

Upon hearing Tobirama’s uncertainty, Mū immediately launched into well-timed, subtle flattery.
