Mastermind of the Akatsuki 397
Chapter 397: Orochimaru, Nagato, and Killer BeeBefore launching his attack on Nagato, Orochimaru spent several days preparing.Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, was one of the most powerful shinobi in the world. Orochimaru's purpose this time, besides completing the task given by Byakuya, was also to try and obtain the eyes once said to belong to the Sage of Six Paths.After splitting his soul into several fragments and sealing them into different "Curse Marks of Heaven," Orochimaru left Otogakure and set off toward the Land of Hot ...

Chapter 172: The Power of the DemonBoom!"What was that sound!?"As Rasa executed his jutsu, a rumbling sound echoed through the earth.Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shaking. They still hadn’t understood what kind of technique this was. The earth suddenly cracked open, with spider-web-like fissures spreading under the feet of the Iwagakure ninja. This caused them to lose their balance and feel a sense of unease in their hearts. Some of the Iwagakure ninjas were already considering retreating."Be careful!"Roshi, who ...

Chapter 171: Rasa Takes Action"How interesting. To think it can actually harm a Tailed Beast's body, is this the special power of Sunagakure?"Not far from the battlefield, Madara Uchiha’s tone grew noticeably serious.Now that he had already acquired the power of Outher Path of Rinnegan, he fully understood what Tailed Beasts were.They were lifeforms created by the Sage of Six Paths through Yin-Yang Release, so in theory, the only powers that could harm or control them were Yin-Yang Release and pure taijutsu.But now, this small shi...

Chapter 396: Me, fight Nagato?Byakuya had definitely been hiding part of his strength, this was Madara Uchiha’s most direct impression.In their earlier battle, although both of them had used Susanoo and the Wood Dragon Technique, altering the terrain with brute force, such feats were just the basics for those standing at the summit of the ninja world.Actual battles between the strongest weren’t decided in just half an hour. His fight with Hashirama at the Valley of the End had lasted for three days and nights.Still, no matter how much stren...

Chapter 395: The Battle Between Byakuya and Madara UchihaFacing Madara Uchiha's conditions, Byakuya fell into a brief moment of contemplation before nodding and saying, "I’ve heard of Madara-sama’s title as the Shura of the ninja world. This time, I’ll finally have the chance to see how much difference there is between Madara-sama and me."(AN: Shura, in Japanese myth, is a characteristic of a warrior who fights not for justice or revenge but for his own enjoyment.)Before meeting Madara Uchiha, Byakuya had already anticipated t...

Chapter 394: Byakuya and Madara UchihaAfter leaving Amegakure, Byakuya arrived at a temporary base nearby, where he met with Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. White Zetsu was as usual, appearing dull and silly, but Black Zetsu’s expression had changed. Upon seeing Byakuya, Black Zetsu immediately spoke, “Byakuya, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."Byakuya frowned, confused, and asked, "Is there something important, Black Zetsu?"Black Zetsu nodded and replied, "Yes, there's something v...

Chapter 170: Pakura vs. Rōshi"This really does bring back memories."Madara Uchiha muttered from the sidelines, a trace of nostalgia flickering in his Sharingan.More than forty years ago, after Konohagakure was founded, his friend Hashirama proposed distributing the Tailed Beasts among the Five Great Nations to maintain peace. Aside from the One-Tail already in Sunagakure's possession, all the other Tailed Beasts had been captured by the two of them, and the Four-Tails had been Madara’s personal catch.Now, watching the battlefield...

Chapter 393: Return to AmegakureAfter reviewing the mission document several times, the Third Hokage fell into silence.Previously, he had thought that Shisui was Danzo’s puppet, but now it seemed that Danzo was just Shisui’s puppet. Danzo’s actions over the past few days were simply providing Shisui with an opportunity to step into the spotlight.Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage looked up at Shisui Uchiha and then said, "Shisui, in this battle between the police force and the Hokage building, you were the ones who won in the end....

Chapter 169: Pakura vs. HanThe entire battlefield was left speechless, especially the Iwagakure shinobi.As the deep purple Tailed Beast Bomb shot toward Michikawa in the sky, the massive explosion that followed filled the heavens with smoke and flames. The violent shockwave whipped up clouds of sand and stone, blasting outward in every direction.The Iwagakure shinobi shielded themselves with their arms.When the explosion finally subsided and the smoke dispersed, the shinobi, cold sweat pouring down their backs, shouted in disbelief."Is this...

Chapter 392: The Hokage Building's Appointment OrderIt took a few minutes for Jiraiya and Tsunade to process the news Kakashi had brought, and they were left in deep thought.No one had expected that, just before the election for the Fifth Hokage, so many events would unfold in the village. First, Orochimaru had attacked Tsunade, who was a candidate for Hokage, almost killing her. Then, it was revealed that another candidate, Danzo, had conspired with Orochimaru, and after the plot was exposed, he chose to commit suicide.After sorting throug...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 168
Chapter 168: Madara UchihaAt the very moment when the great forces of Sunagakure and Iwagakure clashed—At a ruined village far from the battlefield, amidst the crumbled remains—The earth twisted, and a figure slowly rose. Cloaked in a hooded coat, wearing a white mask that revealed a single blood-red Sharingan eye, he emanated an aura as chilling as death itself. His gaze drifted slowly toward the distant battlefield.He first glanced at the battling shinobi of Sunagakure and Iwagakure with an expression of disdain. Then, as the three tomoe ...

Chapter 391: Altered MemoriesBefore Danzō could list out Jiraiya's faults, several Jōnin who had once benefited from Jiraiya stepped forward, their voices cold as they spoke, "Jiraiya-sama betrayed the village? We’d really like to know when exactly Jiraiya-sama ever did that!"Their questioning echoed the thoughts of most of the Jōnin present.Jiraiya had never held back his strength for personal gain. He had declined the position of Hokage and instead devoted himself tirelessly, spending years outside the village conducting espi...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 167
Chapter 167: Scorch vs. LavaAs a mature and composed man, Michikawa’s first attack was not like Pakura’s as he did not immediately use the newly gained power. Instead, he still employed the basic Magnet Release. However, this did not mean his strength was inferior. After all, the Magnet Release: Iron Sand technique had once made the Third Kazekage earn the title of the strongest Kazekage.As chakra surged within Michikawa’s body, countless grains of iron sand shot up from the earth beneath his feet, gathering around him to form a pitch-bla...

Chapter 390: Danzo Surrounded and Konoha’s SecretsWith that thought, Danzo suddenly felt he had the upper hand. As long as he gave the order to attack Kakashi, the situation would immediately turn in his favor. He might even join forces with Orochimaru and pin the blame for the assault on Konoha entirely on Jiraiya.However, when Danzo snapped his fingers, the Root ninja hiding in the shadows did not show themselves.His expression darkened instantly. He scanned the surroundings, then turned his gaze to Kakashi and the others. Could it be that ...
Mastermind of the Akatsuki 389
Chapter 389: Internal Strife in KonohaJiraiya was waiting for the perfect moment to strike, aiming to take down Orochimaru.As Orochimaru’s eternal rival, he knew Orochimaru's strength extremely well. The two were equally matched, but Orochimaru had mastered the Edo Tensei, allowing him to control the First and Second Hokage in battle.In the entire shinobi world, the only one who could take on both the First and Second Hokage at the same time was Byakuya. That’s why Jiraiya had to find the right moment to swiftly defeat Orochimaru before...
Mastermind of the Akatsuki 388
Chapter 388: Heartbreaking ShisuiIn Sage Mode, Jiraiya’s strength was terrifying. In the original timeline, even when facing the Six Paths of Pain, who were at a super-Kage level, he managed to hold his own for quite a while and almost succeeded in turning the tables.At the Kage level, Jiraiya had few true rivals.Even so, defeating Shisui Uchiha wouldn’t be an easy task.Shisui, known as Shisui of the Body Flicker, was extraordinarily fast. If he truly wanted to escape, very few people in the current shinobi world could catch up to him. Real...

Chapter 166: Sand vs. RockAt the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Birds.Under the scorching sun, in a cloudless sky.Rasa, Pakura, and Michikawa stood on a floating cloud of sand high in the sky.Their gazes were fixed downward on the Rock Desert, where the densely packed Iwagakure shinobi formed four neat formations.Even though the distance between them was only two or three kilometers in a straight line, the sensory shinobi from Iwagakure below could not detect their presence.First, because their current position was high in the ...

Chapter 386: The Meeting of the Three Legendary SanninDanzō let out a cold laugh and said, “You already made a move against Hiruzen Sarutobi. Do you really care about this? You're just trying to squeeze more benefits out of me.”Orochimaru didn’t deny it. He nodded slightly. “You're not wrong. But what can you offer me now? I’ve already obtained what I wanted.”Danzo smirked for a second, “I can revoke the bounty on your head, even allow you to return to Konohagakure and serve as the Hokage’s second-in-command.”“You t...

Chapter 387: Individual Battles“Bring back Nawaki and Dan?”When she heard those words, Tsunade looked up at Orochimaru. A flicker of confusion passed through her eyes as memories of Nawaki and Katō Dan began surfacing in her mind.Nawaki was her younger brother and Orochimaru’s first student.As the grandson of the First Hokage, Nawaki had inherited his grandfather’s talent and his warm, sunny personality. If he had been allowed to grow up normally, he would have easily earned the rank of elite jōnin.But during the Second Great Ninja Wa...

Chapter 165: The Beheading BeginsThe vast desert of the Land of Wind.Rasa, Michikawa, and Pakura, all dressed in green ninja uniforms, rushed through the desert.Under Rasa's explanation, the two of them had finally understood the preparations that Rasa had made for this victory.Pakura couldn’t help but express his feelings."No wonder you even called Karura to participate in the meeting. So, you had already planned to use that spy, Nono Yakushi, all along?"Michikawa also praised."I didn’t expect that spy Nono could be used in...

Chapter 164: A Plan within a PlanMount Myōboku.Though Minato Namikaze was still training here, ever since he learned that Iwagakure and Kumogakure had officially begun their assault on Sunagakure, he had been closely monitoring the movements of the ninja world.His source of information was none other than Jiraiya-sensei, who had brought news from the village.Amidst the tall grass, Minato was developing his new ninjutsu, which he had named: "Spiral Wind Release Super Spinning Roar Technique." Although the name was somewhat hard to take ...

Chapter 385: Rejoining Forces with OrochimaruTime passed quickly, and before long, half a month had gone by.During this time, the Root ninjas dispatched by Danzo arrived in the capital, where the Land of Fire's Daimyo resided. After executing a tactic to draw the attention of the guardian ninjas away, the disguised Uchiha Root ninjas met with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was a frail, middle-aged man who appeared weak and incapable of channeling chakra. However, in reality, he was also a ninja. His skills wer...

Chapter 384: Danzo's Thoughts on the FutureWhen the Akatsuki's Byakuya was mentioned, Madara Uchiha became somewhat intrigued.He still remembered that, before his slumber, he had paid attention to this young member of the Akatsuki. Byakuya's personality and methods had left a deep impression on him. If Byakuya had possessed the Uchiha bloodline, Madara might have even given up on Obito and focused on cultivating Byakuya instead.Thinking of this, Madara said with interest, "Of course I remember. During my slumber, did that kid By...
Mastermind of the Akatsuki 383
Chapter 383: Danzo and Madara UchihaWhile the Third Hokage was lost in his chaotic thoughts, Danzo’s gaze swept over him. With a playful look, Danzo’s lips curved into a faint smile.“Hiruzen, it seems this time, I’ve won. You, who have already fallen among the dead, can no longer stop me from becoming the Hokage of the village and leading Konoha to even greater heights.”That familiar tone confirmed Danzo’s identity in the Third Hokage’s mind. He frowned deeply and questioned, “Danzo, just to become Hokage, are you really willing...

Chapter 382: Conspiracy Behind the ConspiracyHearing this, Sasuke was slightly stunned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.He had only recently learned that the clan had not been annihilated, but had merely gone into hiding. How did Naruto know this information? Could it be that Naruto possessed some kind of mind-reading ability?But after thinking it over, Sasuke gradually came to a realization.During the mission to the Land of Waves, Naruto, like him, had been rescued by a mysterious ninja. The one who saved him was Shisui, so the ninja who saved...

Chapter 381: High-Level MeetingThe search for the Third Hokage had lasted several hours, yet the shinobi of Konohagakure had found no trace of him. Though they continued their efforts, deep down, they already knew the answer.A shinobi as powerful as the Third Hokage would not simply vanish without reason. The most likely explanation was that he had fallen victim to an enemy's plot, sacrificing himself to protect the village. Such tragedies were not unheard of.Years ago, the Fourth Hokage and his wife had also disappeared defending Konoha, o...

Chapter 162: Initiating WarAfter Iwagakure and Kumogakure altered their strategic goals, shifting their focus from Konohagakure to Sunagakure, both the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure and the Raikage of Kumogakure realized that things were not developing as they had anticipated.In their plans, since Sunagakure was the weakest among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, they believed that with a little pressure and trickery, Sunagakure's Kazekage would, just like last time, compromise with Iwagakure and Kumogakure. However, as they carried out their plan...

Chapter 161: Sage Art TrainingMount Myōboku.Ever since Kumogakure and Iwagakure stopped attacking Konohagakure, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya came to Mount Myōboku to train in Sage Art under the guidance of Lord Fukasaku.During this process, Minato Namikaze displayed a talent so astonishing that even the toad Fukasaku was left speechless. While Jiraiya had trained for over a decade without fully mastering Sage Mode, Minato managed to completely master it in less than two weeks.This made Fukasaku exclaim that it was unbelievable. However, even t...

Chapter 160: Cooperation with AkatsukiAmegakure.Amidst the relentless downpour, two shinobi clad in black cloaks adorned with red clouds dashed swiftly across the waterlogged ground. After nearly half an hour, they arrived at a concealed cave nestled within a mountain valley.The flickering light of a blazing campfire inside finally revealed their figures.At the forefront stood Nagato, the current leader of theAkatsukiorganization, his crimson hair damp from the rain. Beside him was Konan, her expression equally weary.Lately, life had not been e...
