At the edge of his vision, Roshi caught sight of Shizune kneeling beside Itachi. The flickering green glow of her Mystical Palm Technique washed over the boy’s trembling body, his breaths shallow and ragged. Further away, Anko’s figure blurred into the chaos, sprinting toward the thunder of explosions erupting in the back...

The once-deadly blade—an extension of his very being—clattered to the blood-soaked stones with a hollow clang, unnervingly loud in the suffocating silence of the courtyard.
He staggered back several steps, widening the distance between himself and Roshi. 2025-10-04 08:02:46 +0000 UTC View Post
A little earlier—beyond the dusty chaos of Jubei’s battlefield—another deadly clash was reaching its peak.
Gaiku’s uninjured right hand gripped a pale, grayish bone blade, every swing broad and merciless. His left arm, wrapped tight in blood-soaked bandages, moved like a hidden scorpion. Without warning, the bin...

He had no intention of staying to fight. Using the confusion, the head of the Wasabi House swiftly withdrew into the safety of the inner corridors. 2025-10-04 08:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post
The sharp clang of steel rang through the blood-soaked courtyard—then suddenly fell silent.
Anko gritted her teeth, staggering half a step back. A numbing ache spread through her wrist and palm; the kunai in her grip felt almost ready to slip from her hand.
Protecting the Wasabi Family members forced her into se...
