“Danzo won’t make it that easy for us to find evidence,” Tsunade muttered darkly.
Kitazawa folded his arms, thoughtful. “I suspect the ninja who leaked the intel has already been... silenced.”
Tsunade sighed, rubbing her temples. “Given Danzo’s nature, that’s entirely possible. But we can’t sit idly by. We have to investigate.”
“Who will you send?” Kita...

A cave somewhere in the Land of Fire
Uchiha Obito had remained there since his injury.
There was no need to return to the Hidden Mist Village—and he dared not face Nagato until he was fully recovered.
After all, Nagato possessed the Rinnegan—a power even Obito feared.
More troublesome still was Konan. She had never liked him, and if she saw ...

“This is the personnel data of the Military Police Force.”
When Roshi opened the file before Itachi, the young man’s eyes twitched slightly—he could see everything inside without obstruction.
“Has Father already come to an agreement with you, Captain?”
Itachi’s gaze lowered. “Personnel data… so it’s a purge. How did you convince him to agree? No—if it...

After two days secluded in the Forbidden Jutsu Room, Roshi had finally grasped a basic understanding of the Flying Thunder God jutsu.
At its core lay the Flying Thunder God Formula. Only by mastering that intricate mark could one perform true spatial transfer, moving instantly to any location where the formula had been placed.
Learning the formula required proficiency with cursed se...

“I’ve been secretly investigating the Fourth Hokage’s death,” Fugaku said at last, his tone unreadable. “But so far, there have been no results.”
His expression flickered—conflict, doubt, restraint—before settling back into that familiar Uchiha calm. When he finally spoke again, his voice was smoother and calmer.
Roshi simply nodded. Whether Fugaku truly had no leads...

Speaking with the Sharingan was an Uchiha custom—only those with equal tomoe had the right to speak as equals.
Fugaku had seen it. He had witnessed the scene of Roshi and Itachi conversing.
He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were just a pair of ordinary, weary black eyes.
“I understand.”
“I’ll handle the rest.”
Then he rose to his feet,...

Of course, claiming he had no opinion would’ve been a lie.
If he truly didn’t care, he wouldn’t have spent nights studying the Uchiha’s predicament.
But Roshi lived by one rule—anything gained too easily was rarely worth much.
He wanted to help, yes.
But that didn’t mean he would go out of his way to curry favor.
It would only hold meaning if the Uchiha...

Roshi didn’t respond right away.
Instead, he wandered until he found a quiet park, sat down on a swing, and began to sway gently, his toes brushing the ground.
Itachi followed in silence, taking a seat on a nearby bench.
For a long while, neither spoke. Roshi’s thoughts drifted—not to the present, but to his origins.
An old clan. Old blood. Once proud, now diminished.

Yagura was forced out of his full Tailed Beast transformation after being pummeled by Tsunade and Kitazawa.
Though he hadn’t lost consciousness, his strength was gone. The battle was over.
The moment the Three-Tails’ chakra vanished, panic rippled through the Hidden Mist camp.
“Save the Mizukage!”
Ao’s pupils shrank in shock as he barked the order.

Under the moonlight, Kitazawa finally saw him—the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi of the Hidden Mist.
Just like in the original records, he looked deceptively young—almost boyish, with a calm, childlike face. Yet in reality, the man before him was old enough to have a grandson—Kagura Karatachi—already born.
Kitazawa’s first thought was simple and chilling: Th...

When Kitazawa opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Kurenai’s beautiful face hovering above his.
He blinked, momentarily disoriented. “Did I sleep for too long?”
“No,” she replied softly, lying across his chest. “It’s not even eight yet. I just happened to wake up a few minutes before you.”

The news of Fuguki’s death spread through Konoha’s main camp like wildfire, igniting a storm of discussion among the shinobi.
It wasn’t just because of his notorious identity—Fuguki’s squad had been tormenting Konoha’s forces for over a week, their hit-and-run tactics turning every mission into a gamble with death.
Entire squads had been kept on edge, forced to stay cons...

Living in Konoha, crossing paths with Danzo was almost a rite of passage—an unavoidable scar one earned simply by existing too long in the village. Roshi had expected this day to come.

He just hadn’t expected their first confrontation to...

A conflict with the Village’s Anbu was no small matter, and Roshi was quietly relieved that his two teammates stood firmly by his side without a moment’s hesitation.
Of course, he wouldn’t let them carry unnecessary worry either.

“The Anbu currently operates with four standard squads—sev...

Training Sage Mode was hardly suitable for Deai Port. After gaining the necessary insights from Katsuyu, Roshi decided to shelve the matter for the time being.
