"Hmm, these three little brats are surprisingly skilled—they actually forced me to deploy four puppets!" Akasuna Hideki clicked her tongue in silent admiration. This was nearing her limit.
At this moment, Hidan was still locked in combat with "White". However, White no longer retained its initial intimidating aura. It...

"Madara-sama really has it tough, hiding this deep underground. An old man staying out of the sun for so long must be risking some serious osteoporosis!" Arashi quipped as he observed. He couldn't help but admire its location—it wasn't far from Konohagakure, yet completely remote. Though technically on a peninsula, the area...

The current situation in the Ninja World could only be described as turbulent. Konoha was on the brink of collapse, but after defeating the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee with the help of Deidara and Sasori, Konoha signed a peace agreement with Kumogakure. This allowed Konoha to focus all its forces on battling Sunagakure, whi...

"Kakuzu, what's going on?" Deidara placed the fruit basket on the table beside him. Kakuzu had been sulking and didn't even glance at it.
"Oh, I guess I don't understand the rules," Deidara said, taking the fruit basket back from Kurotsuchi. He turned to her and said, "Give me your wallet."
"Why?" Kurotsuchi asked...

The truth was, their sparring session had been more of a performance. Even a genin wouldn't ha...

"Deidara, stop messing with your clay and come practice ninjutsu with me!" A pair of long legs abruptly entered Deidara's line of sight, kicking away the clay sculpture he had been carefully crafting.

(A/N: At the end of this chapter, I'll address the "Kushina & Kurama" questions some readers asked.)

It wasn't just Kakashi who looked puzzled—Minato's expression was equally strange.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt utterly drained.
The claim that he was the "strongest Hokage" puzzled him endlessly.

The Next Morning
At dawn, the plaza in front of the Konoha administrative building was packed with tens of thousands of villagers.

Unforgivable!

Konoha Prison
A few rays of sunset filtered through the small iron-barred window, illuminating a curled figure in the corner.
Underneath disheveled, graying hair was a pair of hollow, empty sockets. The chakra within his body was sealed, and both his Sharingan and Rinnegan were gone. Uchi...
