Chapter 209: Four-Tails and Five-Tails (Part 1)Forbidden Technique: One’s Own Life ReincarnationIt was developed by the future version of Elder Chiyo for the sake of her grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand. One of only two known jutsu in the Naruto world capable of bringing someone back from the dead.After traveling to the future timeline, Rasa naturally began collecting various powers that existed in that era to strengthen both himself and Sunagakure.There was no way he could overlook such a legendary technique. This jutsu transforms chakra int...

Chapter 420: The Reanimated Ninja“Game? Bet?”Madara Uchiha laughed as if he had heard something amusing, then gradually grew serious as he stared at Byakuya, “What kind of game and bet are you talking about? Tell me.”Byakuya spoke calmly, “My bet is simple. I wager that even if you complete Infinite Tsukuyomi, you will not achieve the deepest wish in your heart. I am also very curious why the former Shura, who once dominated the shinobi world, would believe in such an illusory Eye of the Moon Plan.”Byakuya’s words didn’t have mu...

Chapter 208: Sealing the Six-Tails“Why?”On the desert sands, Madara Uchiha, who was using Yin-Yang Release to control the three Tailed Beasts, spoke in a tone full of doubt.What puzzled him wasn’t that Rasa could take on three enemies at once, but rather the technique Rasa had used, Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.Wood Release held special significance for Madara Uchiha. It was the power that belonged to his former friend, Hashirama Senju, the only one who could stand against his eyes. Now, that power had emerged in the hands of the Ka...

Chapter 419: The Bet Between Byakuya and Madara UchihaAfter hearing Tobirama Senju's words, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya exchanged uneasy glances. One was the strongest fighter in the Hokage lineage, and the other was a former Hokage who had already "died." Neither had a clear grasp of Konoha’s current military strength.Orochimaru was also unfamiliar with Konoha’s situation, so it was finally the Root leader Shisui Uchiha who stepped forward to give a detailed explanation of Konoha’s present forces.Currently, Konoha has about ...

Chapter 207: One versus Three (Part 2)At that moment, the Four Tails and Five Tails began gathering Tailed Beast Bombs once again, this time even larger than before. And from the other side, the Six Tails also raised its head, a Tailed Beast Bomb nearly ten meters wide forming at its mouth.Sensing the unusual state of the three Tailed Beasts, Rasa finally understood what was happening. Each of the beasts had a black iron rod embedded in their bodies.“No wonder… they’ve been manipulated without me being able to sense a thing. So that’s h...

Chapter 418: Everywhere I go, I see UchihaAfter the Reanimation Jutsu was performed, countless paper tags flew out from the void, enveloping the White Zetsu clone. In an instant, they rapidly transformed into the forms of the First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Fourth Hokage, their chakra aura growing increasingly terrifying.Seeing this, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya showed extremely complicated expressions.They had long known that the Scroll of Sealing contained the Reanimation Jutsu, but due to the taboo against reviving the dead, they had never ...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 206
Chapter 206: One versus Three (Part 1)Under the bright moonlight, atop the towering rooftop buildings.Rasa stood with a grim expression as he looked at the three fully-formed Tailed Beasts that had appeared within Sunagakure.“Four Tails, Five Tails, Six Tails!”It was clear that Rasa had been manipulated. Not only by Iwagakure, but Kirigakure was also involved. After all, the Six Tails was currently under Kirigakure’s control.Furthermore, the fact that all three Tailed Beasts could be released simultaneously without even alerting him indic...

Chapter 417: The Deal Between Orochimaru and the Third HokageJiraiya spoke in great detail, and the Third Hokage listened attentively. When he heard that the masked man had attacked the Eight-Tails jinchūriki, his expression shifted. If even the Eight-Tails could be targeted, then the Nine-Tails jinchūriki in Konoha was certainly in danger. Fortunately, the attack had failed.Then came the incident of the Five Kage Summit. Hearing that the Fourth Raikage convened the summit to counter the masked man, the Third Hokage sighed, feeling he lacked ...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 205
Chapter 205: Reason for BetrayalInstead of constantly acquiring new power without ever taking the time to truly understand it… But time wasn’t on his side. The chaotic world outside simply wouldn’t allow Rasa to pause and rest.Just like today, he had only spent the morning training before he had to leave the oasis and return to the village. Because today, the shinobi from Iwagakure were scheduled to arrive in Sunagakure for peace negotiations.Although he, as the Kazekage, wasn’t required to personally attend, he still had to remain in t...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 204
Chapter 204: TrainingThe Rasengan was, in truth, a jutsu that was extremely difficult to master.If Rasa hadn’t been a transmigrator, he never would’ve learned it so easily, especially considering that even in the original storyline, Jiraiya had to explain the key to training in it in detail. Minato Namikaze had spent a long time developing the Rasengan before finally mastering it.However, once Rasa had learned it and used it a single time, he realized the jutsu was rather underwhelming for him.In its basic form, the Rasengan wasn’t very p...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 203
Chapter 203: Real MastermindRasa was momentarily stunned, but quickly remembered and immediately took the scroll to examine it.Ebizō glanced at Honoka behind him and said,“This jutsu actually began taking shape back when we were developing the gourd sealing technique. But since it hadn't been tested, I couldn’t be sure of its feasibility. However, during my recent trip to the Land of Rivers, I took the opportunity to work with this girl, Honoka, to try and construct a Reverse Summoning Path.”Rasa narrowed his eyes.“What was the res...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 202
Chapter 202: The Need of PeaceLand of Wind, Sunagakure.The frontline shinobi were returning to the village in batches to rest. They had been facing off against Kumogakure’s forces in the Land of Rivers for quite some time, but aside from a few minor skirmishes, Kumogakure had not taken any steps to escalate the war.The shinobi of Sunagakure naturally understood the reason: Kumogakure was afraid. After all, both of Iwagakure’s jinchūriki had fallen into Sunagakure’s hands. Without Iwagakure’s cooperation, Kumogakure didn’t dare provok...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 201
Chapter 201: Three-Tails“Kotoamatsukami!? What’s that?”At this moment, Orochimaru completely sensed that something was wrong.“Oh? You don’t know? That’s a unique genjutsu of Uchiha Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan. It allows him to slip into someone’s mind without them noticing and alter their will! After Shisui died, one of his eyes was taken by Danzō, and the other ended up in Itachi’s hands.”!!!Orochimaru felt like his brain had just been struck hard by something. A chill rose from the depths of his soul, making his whole bo...

Chapter 200: Capturing the Tailed Beast (Part 3)Ever since Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure and Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, was killed, the Tailed Beast within him, the Three-Tails, had perished alongside him.Fortunately, Tailed Beasts cannot be killed permanently except through sealing, so not long after, the Three-Tails revived.As for where it revived, Kirigakure naturally knew the location. After all, ever since the Sage of Six Paths created the nine Tailed Beasts, he also found them places to dwell—places that became their re...

Chapter 199: Capturing the Tailed Beast (Part 2)Mist clung tightly to the shoreline.Orochimaru and Kabuto both stared wide-eyed at the two men standing before them.That black cloak adorned with red clouds, no one could be more familiar with it than Orochimaru, who had once been a member of Akatsuki.Kabuto, too, instantly recognized it. After all, both of his former masters had come from that very organization.At first, both of them thought the two figures had come to settle old scores. But then Orochimaru’s sharp gaze caught something unusual...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 198
Chapter 198: Capturing the Tailed Beast (Part 1)At that moment, Rasa felt like he had uncovered many of the world’s deepest secrets. At the same time, he also finally understood why, apart from the Sage of Six Paths taking action against him once after his sudden arrival in this world, the Sage from his original world had never moved against him.For one, perhaps the Sage of Six Paths genuinely had no means to act against him. And two, maybe, just maybe, the Sage was even pleased to see him transforming chakra into senjutsu energy because that...

Chapter 197: Goodbye Black ZetsuFuture timeline.Sunagakure.The deaths of the two elders indeed caused quite a stir within Sunagakure, but with the Anbu in control and Chiyo and Ebizō stepping in, the situation was swiftly suppressed.As for the official reason for executing the two elders, it was claimed they had collaborated with the Konoha rogue ninja Orochimaru in a plot to assassinate the Kazekage.Sometimes, the excuse didn’t matter. After all, those around them had no means to verify the truth. Just as things were beginning to settle dow...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 196
Chapter 196: The Mist's Poisonous PlanTemari and Kankurō’s process of gaining new powers went smoothly.This not only proved that Rasa's idea was correct, that the God Tree he planted could transform the people of this world into a constitution capable of naturally using senjutsu energy, but also meant that he had embedded a “stake” in this future parallel timeline.As for what kind of effect this stake would have, that would depend on how useful this future world would be to him. However, some things were verified during this proc...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 195
Chapter 195: Two Sand VillagesAt that moment, Rasa's words not only resolved the doubts in Karura’s heart but also left the three siblings, Temari, Kankurō, and Gaara, utterly shocked. At the same time, they finally understood why their father had been acting strangely all along.“So… something like this is really possible?”Karura looked completely incredulous. Hana covered her mouth in astonishment.Rasa nodded in agreement.“I think it’s unbelievable too, but it truly happened. And… how should I put this… that version of me ...

Chapter 193: Seeking the Skin of a TigerSunagakure.A gust of yellow sand swept through the village.For the first time in countless years, Black Zetsu, who had always believed the entire shinobi world to be within his grasp, felt truly unsettled. In that moment, he even considered striking down the man before him to eliminate the source of this unease. But the other party’s mysterious aura and his stated intent to cooperate made Black Zetsu suppress his agitation and slowly speak.“Cooperate? What kind of cooperation do you want?”Rasa didnâ...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 192
Chapter 192: Black JueThe office fell silent. Chiyo looked at Rasa with a grave expression.The two of them simply stared at each other for a long while. Finally, Chiyo slowly withdrew the vigilance in her eyes and asked coldly,“Where is that child, Sasori, now?”Seeing this, Rasa knew Chiyo had made her choice.No matter which world it was, Sasori was always Chiyo’s soft spot.“Sasori has joined an organization called Akatsuki. Orochimaru is also a part of that group. Sasori even turned himself and the corpse of the Third Kazekage into hum...
My Journey as Fourth Kazekage 191
Chapter 191: The Fifth KazekageAs the door to the Kazekage's office was pushed open, a group of people walked in.Leading them were familiar faces to Rasa. They were Chiyo and Ebizō from this future world. Both looked at Rasa with a mix of caution and inquiry in their eyes.Behind the two elders were two unfamiliar men. Their identities were clear: they were the current leaders of the noble and commoner factions in Sunagakure and also the village’s present elders. As for Michikawa and Pakura, according to the intel just received, the origi...

Chapter 416: Meeting in the PrisonDoes Jiraiya want to return to Konohagakure? The answer is yes.After being defeated by Byakuya, Jiraiya had a lot of intel he wanted to report to Tsunade and the others, warning the Five Kage to be on high alert against Byakuya, someone even more dangerous and ambitious than any of them.But if it was Orochimaru bringing him back to Konoha, then the situation was completely different.Under Orochimaru's watch, he had no chance to pass on any intel, and it was also uncertain whether Orochimaru’s trip back to...

Chapter 415: Orochimaru Returns to KonohagakureAfter using a space-time ninjutsu to send Jiraiya far away, Byakuya turned his gaze to the distance. At this moment, the Kumogakure’s jonin in charge of security, along with Naruto and others who were training, had already noticed the commotion and were rushing toward this location.Byakuya remained calm, forming hand seals and transforming a wood clone to look exactly like Jiraiya, standing beside him.A few minutes later, Naruto and Killer Bee arrived.Seeing the signs of battle nearby, the jonin ...

Chapter 414: Jiraiya OfflineJiraiya was stunned for a long time before he could fully digest the shocking news.Jiraiya never doubted that Mount Myōboku would support Konoha against Madara Uchiha, but Mount Myōboku joining the Shinobi Allied Forces, or even the Akatsuki, was something he found almost inconceivable.Mount Myōboku is one of the three great sacred lands, an independent power separate from the major shinobi villages. Even during the era of the First Hokage, they could only maintain friendly relations with Mount Myōboku but never ...

Chapter 413: Sage Mode of Mount MyōbokuAfter hearing the transmission from the Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku felt a weight lift from his heart.Facing the imposing Byakuya, he didn’t know how to respond. Byakuya was a prodigy who could master Sage Mode within just a few hours and was also the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces.He really didn’t have much confidence to refuse Byakuya’s invitation.With a complicated expression, Fukasaku looked at Byakuya and said, “I can’t decide on Mount Myōboku joining Akatsuki, but the Great Toad Sage i...

Chapter 412: Byakuya's Journey to Mount MyōbokuWith a burst of space-time distortion, Byakuya successfully arrived at Mount Myōboku.Upon entering, he began to sense the surroundings. The concentration of natural energy in this place was several times greater than in the outside world. Staying in such an environment would make entering Sage Mode significantly easier.The giant toads of Mount Myōboku had also become massive due to the natural energy here.Retracting his senses, Byakuya looked toward Fukasaku and asked, “Fukasaku-sama, I ca...

Chapter 411: For the Future of the Shinobi WorldNot long after stepping into the Falls of Truth, Byakuya saw “himself” ahead.It was a figure that looked exactly like him, shrouded in shadow.The dark figure happened to glance over at that moment, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He walked up to Byakuya and said softly, “Isn't this the me from the outside world? Have you fulfilled the wish to rebuild Uzushiogakure?"Hearing this, Byakuya frowned and shot back, "Why would I want to rebuild Uzushiogakure? What good...

Chapter 410: The True WaterfallAfter receiving the Allied Shinobi Forces' commander Byakuya's order, the teams of Jinchūriki from each village arrived at the designated meeting point.As Naruto's supervising jōnin, Kakashi was naturally among them. But upon seeing Byakuya and Jiraiya leading the group, Kakashi felt increasingly uneasy.Logically, with Byakuya as the commander, the strongest shinobi in the Allied Forces, and Jiraiya ranking easily within the top five, Naruto should be perfectly safe under their protection.But based o...
