Hey guys, hope you are well.

First of all, Happy New Year! (Home I am not late)

I have some resolutions about my Patreon, but I was torn between two things that I want your input on.

Would you guys prefer to have chapters above the tiers where you could buy them standalone, separate from the tiers, or should I just channel the extra chapters into monthly mass-release chapters...

Chapter 337-Eyes

She stood there, poised and unyielding, her violet-trimmed coat swaying lightly in the breeze. Tani Sakiko stared him down with piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through Renjiro's mask.

Renjiro’s Sharingan picked up the flickers of chakra surrounding her—wild, untamed, and impossibly vast. It wasn’t just her chakra. It was Matatabi’s presence, simmering beneath her skin,...

Chapter 336-Little One

I woke with a sharp gasp, the sensation of heat coiling in my chest, yet my skin felt cold, and clammy with sweat. My hands trembled as I pushed myself upright on the stone slab they had laid me on.

My eyes darted to the figure lying motionless on the adjacent platform. Hano Ayame. The former Jinchuriki of Matatabi. Her pale face, serene in death, was framed by her hair, now dull and lif...

Chapter 335-Finally Outside

The arrival of reinforcements shifted the dynamic of the battle. Sone let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. Though he had been projecting a confident demeanor, his reserves were dangerously low. Every strike he had delivered, every counter, had drained his chakra at a rate he couldn’t sustain. Yet his opponent still moved with relentless energy, especially with the recent...

Chapter 334-Mirror

Renjiro’s eyes widened as he watched the Chidori crackle to life in Sone’s left hand.

'How...?' Renjiro thought.

The thought barely formed before his instincts screamed at him. Sone’s smirk widened, his body leaning forward as he thrust the Chidori straight at Renjiro’s chest, aiming for his heart with deadly precision.

Renjiro reacted on pure instinct, his body twisti...

Chapter 333-Thank You

Reverse summoning.

It was supposed to be the ultimate fail-safe, a guaranteed method of escape. Renjiro had learned that lesson from none other than Minato Namikaze. He vividly remembered how Minato had once used it to extract them from a deadly ambush during the mission in Iwa, transporting the team straight to Mount Myōboku in the blink of an eye.

That experience had left a lasti...

Chapter 332-But how are you going to escape?

The dim light of the small, disorganized office cast long shadows, making the air feel suffocating. Renjiro stood a few feet away, his Sharingan glowing faintly, every nerve in his body screaming caution.

“While we were expecting some attacks from the other villages,” the man began, his voice smooth and condescending, “I wonder why Konoha only sent you.” His tone was mocking, yet ...

Chapter 331-Misdirection

The chamber was bathed in an eerie blue glow, flickering and pulsating in rhythm with the intricate seals that adorned the walls and floor. At its centre, Hano Ayame, her wiry frame tense with strain, lay strapped to a stone altar.

Tani, her soon-to-be replacement, stood nearby, her hands trembling as she clutched the edges of her ceremonial robes. It seemed she was questioning if she was...

Chapter 330-Ordered Chaos

The mood in the facility shifted the moment Hano Ayame arrived. Renjiro noticed it instantly, not because of her chakra—though that was undoubtedly immense—but because the air itself seemed to grow heavier, crackling with unspoken tension.

The once-efficient movements of the guards became sharper, their patrols more deliberate, and their eyes sharper, as if compelled by the invisible ...

Hey Guys, I won't be available to upload a chapter for the next three days, but I will find a way to make it up to you before the Year Ends. Happy Holidays!

Chapter 329-For The Good of the Village.

The facility’s towering gates groaned open, the metallic clang reverberating through the crisp night air as Hano Ayame stepped into its well-lit courtyard. Each step she took seemed to carry the weight of history, her presence commanding the respect of the shinobi stationed there.

Patrols moved with precision, their chakra signatures tightly controlled, yet Hano could feel the heavy und...

Chapter 328-Arrival

The two Kumo shinobi finished their smoking session with languid movements, stubbing out their pipes against the wall and flicking the remains onto the ground. One of them gave a lazy stretch, muttering something unintelligible about an upcoming shift, while the other nodded in agreement.

“Better get moving before the captain has our heads,” the raspy-voiced shinobi said, his tone hal...

Chapter 327-New Jichuriki?

The caravan master, a grizzled man with a missing tooth and an air of perpetual suspicion, called out to the group. “We’ll reach the gates by sundown! Keep your wits about you—city guards are quick to seize anything they think ain’t right.”

Renjiro adjusted his cloak, pulling the hood further over his face.

The bustling checkpoint of Miyahira sprawled before them. Guards m...

Chapter 326-Sowing Seeds

Renjiro crouched low against the jagged outcrop overlooking the snow-covered expanse below, his crimson eyes narrowing as he studied the distant campfires flickering like tiny stars against the twilight.

The cold wind cut across the ridge, ruffling his cloak and biting at his exposed skin, but his focus didn’t waver. His Sharingan spun lazily, absorbing every detail of the makeshift cam...

Chapter Delay Notice

Hey guys, sorry for the late notice but there won't be a chapter today. Instead, there will be two chapters released tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Chapter 325-I'm In

The clearing was deathly silent, save for the faint hum of residual energy hanging in the frosty air. Shimbo Amai crouched near the jagged remains of a broken bone protrusion, his gloved hand brushing its edge. His brow furrowed, the worry etched into his face mirroring the uneasy atmosphere. His companion, Taro, stood a few paces away, arms crossed and eyes scanning their surroundings, but his...

Chapter 324-Propaganda

The chill of the mountain air carried faint echoes of something unnatural. Shinbo Amai, a tall and wiry Kumo shinobi, stood at the edge of a narrow cliff path, gazing toward the direction of the distant peaks.

Beside him, his companion Taro leaned casually against a jagged rock, twirling a kunai between his fingers. The two were sensory shinobi assigned to monitor the border post to rais...

Chapter 323-You want a fight?

Jei Kaguya’s eyes narrowed as she gazed at the masked figure perched high atop the ridge, silhouetted against the dim glow of the moonlight. Below him, countless bone protrusions jutted out from the rocky terrain, forming a jagged, grotesque forest.

Each one gleamed like ivory under the faint light, a chilling testament to her kekkei genkai. The air was thick with tension, the faint rus...

Chapter 322-Again?

Renjiro moved cautiously along the rugged path, the wind carrying the salty tang of the nearby sea. Kumogakure was unlike any other shinobi village, its location a natural fortress.

While Konoha had to manage its defences against eight neighbouring villages, many of them minor, Kumo was nestled securely, bordering only the Land of Frost to the southwest and the vast ocean everywhere else....

Chapter 321-Sold Out

A flood of emotions coursed through Renjiro, each vying for dominance over his mind. Shock gnawed at the edges of his thoughts, disbelief churning his gut.

But it was anger—deep, unrelenting rage—that consumed him most. It was not the hot flash of temper that came and went but a seething, volcanic fury that bubbled and brewed deep within his core, threatening to erupt.

His che...

Chapter 320-Make it stop.

The twisted world of Renjiro’s genjutsu hung heavy in the air. The blood-red sky loomed above, a stark, malevolent void that seemed to press down on everything beneath it. The grey-scale landscape stretched out into an eternity of nothingness, its muted tones robbing the world of all life and vibrance.

Suspended in midair, the five Kumo shinobi were crucified against wooden pillars tha...

Chapter 319-Nightmare

“Your cover is gone!” Renjiro called out, his voice sharp and commanding, cutting through the cacophony of destruction. “It’s better you reveal yourselves now so we can end this quickly.”

For a moment, there was no response. Only the crackle of flames and the hiss of sap boiling in the trees broke the silence. The forest seemed to hold its breath as if even nature itself was wai...

Chapter 306-Shortcuts have consequences

The night on the floating island was a canvas of tranquillity. The pale moon bathed the island in a soft, silver glow, and the surrounding trees stood as silent sentinels against the backdrop of a starlit sky. The air was cool, carrying the faint scent of dew forming on the lush grass beneath Renjiro’s feet.

His designated training ground was nestled on a plateau, high above the rest of...

Chapter 305-Double it!

The Raikage’s office, a grand chamber perched atop the highest tower in Kumogakure, radiated authority. The room was a fortress within a fortress, even if it didn't need to be since its occupant didn't really need the protection. Its walls were adorned with intricate carvings of lightning storms that symbolized the raw power of the Land of Lightning.

Outside, distant thunder rolled thr...

Chapter 304-Purge of the Wicked

Under the pale moonlight, Renjiro stood silently atop the floating island, the cool night breeze tousling the loose strands of his red hair. The air was crisp, filled with the faint aroma of wildflowers that grew in the crevices of the rocky terrain.

Shadows of other floating landmasses shifted and danced in the silvery glow of the moon, giving the entire area an ethereal quality. Renjiro...

Chapter 303-Let’s see what those green flames can really do

Renjiro’s eyes remained transfixed on the green flames, their vivid glow casting rippling shadows across the dimly lit basement. His breath caught in his throat as he watched the fire’s unearthly dance.

It was unlike anything he had ever seen or conjured before—an enigmatic blaze that pulsed with an energy far removed from the ordinary. The sight stirred equal parts awe and trepidat...
