"What a pity."
Hearing Orochimaru's explanation, the Third Hokage shook his head with a sigh.
If it had no use outside of the Uchiha clan, then this potion truly had limited value.
Orochimaru had explained the basics of genetic inheritance to the Third Hokage and others back when he developed the strength...
"Provide adequate blood samples?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Soyama was visibly taken aback. He didn't fully grasp what Orochimaru was implying. Was the potion not perfected yet? Did he want to test it on samples?
Orochimaru seemed unconcerned with Soyama's confusion. He went on with the words he had prepared: "Yes, i...

Claudius nodded as he listened to Tom's words, then said, "Exactly. People with no real abilities often love to blame others for their own failures. They think the world is out to get them. Really, this is just childish behavior."
Tom and his apprentices didn't dare respond too freely; they simply stood quietly, watchi...

Yes, the semi-annual selection for promoting genin to chunin.

Sukuna had some knowledge of the Six...

Claudius took a good look around the small, rundown dock. The place was practically falling apart, showing none of the prestige one would expect from a "master shipwright." It looked like the kind of place barely able to produce a fishing boat, let alone a vessel worthy of royalty. "Master Tom, the so-called 'best shipwright,...

"Sonโฆ are you telling the truth?"
Kaminari's mother asked, her voice tinged with both excitement and skepticism, as if afraid Kaminari was playing some elaborate joke.
