It was troublesome. Naruto dropping a bucket of paint on one of the teachers was the norm by now, but doing it on Sasuke was something Shikamaru didn’t expect. What he did expect was the fight that soon happened. Sasuke had never lost since that day in sparring, yet this wasn’t sparring with teachers over...

Her Grace was too kind for this city. Seeing what the butchers and barbers who proclaimed themselves kings did to people were a hardening experience for Shireen and me. People starved on the streets. Children were forced into slavery, and women were raped and beaten regularly.

Once the four arrived at a small town, Jiraiya said goodbye to lady Tsunade and Shizune. Kaen kept quiet. After the speech he gave the other day, he felt awkward around them. He wasn‘t very sentimental, but it annoyed Kaen that someone as capable and strong as lady Tsunade had given up on the path of shinob...

The situation wasn‘t good. Jiraiya saw that Kaen was passed out. His skin around the right shoulder started to darken. Jiraiya was worried about his student, but in front of him stood Orochimaru. Before the battle began, he had to decide whether to prioritize his student‘s safety or apprehend Orochimaru.<...

The little town at the border of the Land of Fire was quite boisterous for its size. Kaen left Jiraiya at a tavern and went by himself to the market. You can get a lot of information about the neighboring countries by how much they sell their product. And Kaen knew from being a police officer that people like...
