250 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Why are there so many outsiders here?"

"Could they be like Inuarashi and Nekomamushi—members of another race?"

"This is definitely Wano, but why are there so many foreigners?"

"I think I've heard of this race before... they're Fish-Men!"

"And look at how well they get along with the people here."

"Let's find a place to eat first."

"Do we have any money on ...

249 One Piece: My Name is Jack

After a year of battle, Kuzan and his group finally returned. They had fought numerous enemies on behalf of the Beasts Pirates, and now, Jack was seeing them again for the first time.

Despite their overwhelming strength and Kaido personally appointing them as high-ranking officers, even Enel had to follow protocol after being promoted. Strength alone wasn't enough—without going through ...

248 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Madam Shyarly, nice to meet you! My name is Jack. Don't you think we make a great match?"

Jack couldn't help but flirt as he gazed at Madam Shyarly, who exuded an air of aloof charm, a cigarette resting between her lips.

Bang!

"Cut the crap, Jack!"

Yamato smacked Jack on the head with her kanabo, sending him crashing to the ground. Despite taking blows ...

247 One Piece: My Name is Jack

As Jack carried his group back to Onigashima, they encountered Doflamingo's Pirate Ship along the way.

After briefly speaking with Doflamingo and learning that Kaido's crew was in Ailen Island, Jack resumed his journey with Shiryu and the others.

To their credit, Shiryu's group had remarkable endurance—an arduous journey of over a month, and they had only eaten a single meal. By t...

246 One Piece: My Name is Jack

When Shiryu and the others regained consciousness, they found themselves on a small island. 

Hancock slowly came to as well, only to realize that her hands and feet were shackled. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Frustrated, she lashed out at Jack with a furious glare.

"You insolent brute! Filthy scum!"

"Release me this instant!"

"If you da...

245 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Teach was dead—a brutal, miserable death.

"Captain Teach! Waaaah...!"

Burgess clutched Teach's lifeless body, sobbing uncontrollably. Jack, watching the scene, nodded in satisfaction.

"Loyalty. I respect that."

Then he smirked. "But you just stepped on your captain's guts."

Burgess shuddered.

"Stop right there."

Jack's voice turned cold as he fixed hi...

055 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

Planting trees is a boring task.

Even more so when you're not allowed to use chakra.

But honestly, even if chakra was allowed, neither Uchiha Kaien nor Namikaze Minato knew Earth Release.

Minato was a little better off—he had learned Earth-Style Wall, but he had only learned it. It was nowhere near ready for combat use. In practical terms, he was better off relying ...

After that brief run-in with Might Duy, Uchiha Kagami continued leading the two Genin through the mission board.

The tasks suited for freshly graduated Genin—some familiar, some completely new—were all listed on the notice board in front of them.

"Babysitting for nobles, cleaning out the sewers in Konoha's eastern district, finding the Daimyō's wife's lost cat, harvesting crops...

Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but sigh as he watched. The bond between those two was clearly something special. No wonder they could pull off such a high-level combination technique at their age.

He felt a bit sorry for his own son, who had been trying so hard to get closer to Kaien, but never seemed to find the right opportunity. Poor kid. Even if he wanted to be a doting older brother, he...

052 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

After reminding Uchiha Kagami to take the two boys for their ninja registration, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his office.

The shinobi world wasn't exactly peaceful at the moment. As Hokage, he was swamped with work. Just the fact that he'd managed to find time in his packed schedule to observe the Genin test for Kaien and Minato was already a small miracle.

Besides, the new interpre...

051 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

Uchiha Kaien reached for the bracelet on his wrist and summoned a massive Fūma Shuriken.

(Fūma Shuriken are large, four-bladed projectile weapons possessing pre-eminent sharpness and lethality.)

The stark contrast between his small frame and the enormous weapon was striking.

Thanks to the dynamic visual acuity of his Sharingan—outwardly appe...

050 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

If a single person had launched a combination ninjutsu attack, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have been all that surprised. The shocking part was that this Wind-Fire combo had been jointly unleashed by Uchiha Kaien and Namikaze Minato.

Most shinobi can't perform combination ninjutsu due to incompatible chakra natures—or simply lacking the right chakra types altogether.

Take water and f...

"You thought of me first? Well, thanks for that."

Uchiha Kagami muttered to himself, then glanced at his injuries. Right on schedule—just as the head nurse said, it would take about a week to heal.

"If they pass the graduation exam, then I'd like to trouble you, Kagami, to guide them for a while longer. Help them get used to mission protocols, and pass on some of your experience."...

Even though he kept an eye on those two little brats from time to time, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the proper procedures had to be followed—if anything, they needed to be stricter than usual.

After all, those two were his grand-disciples. The Jonin assigned to lead them had to be strong enough—there was no room for mediocrity.

It was a pity he'd already sent Orochimaru and the others...

Money problems? That was a lie, of course.

Even if Uchiha Kaien didn't take on a single mission, his family's inheritance alone could support him comfortably until adulthood.

Not to mention, he'd pulled a decent chunk of cash from the system's lottery—maybe not a full hundred million, but at least tens of millions.

Still, as always—if Minato didn't know how much money he h...

046 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

Bright, clear eyes stared unblinking at Namikaze Minato, and the serious look on that face momentarily caught him off guard.

Seeing that Minato really did look like he was on his last legs—not faking it—Uchiha Kaien decided to let him off the hook.

With a casual flip, Kaien lay back on the grass as well.

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy overhead, warm rays dancin...

Jonin Council Meeting.

The clean, spacious chamber was already packed with people.

A few whispered quietly among themselves. Though the Hokage had yet to arrive, it was clear that this was no ordinary meeting—this wasn't going to be simple.

Just judging from the turnout alone made that obvious.

Aside from a few Jonin who were injured or stationed at th...

"Honored sirs, the Hokage has summoned you."

Just as everyone was still intrigued by the changes in Uchiha Kaien's Sharingan, an Anbu appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

"Lord Sakumo, Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, and Lady Tsunade."

The Anbu squad captain bowed respectfully to the four. He had no choice but to be humble—one of them was his direct superior, and the other thre...

043 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

One year later.

The ninja world was still mostly at peace, though local skirmishes continued to flare up from time to time. Prices of ninja tools—kunai, explosive tags, and the like—had crept up slightly.

Orochimaru and the others had also returned to Konoha to recuperate.

A full year of near-constant battles had made them all stronger, and their understan...

042 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

After a full day of training, Uzumaki Kushina arrived at the gates of the Senju estate.

She hadn't been in Konoha for long, but the village had already started to feel like home.

Sure, someone had mocked her on her first day, calling her a tomato—but after that, no one dared tease her again.

Thinking about it still made her puff up with frustration. Her already round cheeks ...

041 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

Back in the afternoon, during Sakumo Hatake's lesson.

"Minato, I can offer you a few pointers when it comes to understanding speed."

"Please do, Sakumo-sensei."

Namikaze Minato's request was earnest.

Lately, the pressure on him had been building. Kaien had grown stronger—almost without anyone noticing.

Especially since Kaien had already awakened the Sharingan som...

Land of Grass.

Ever since White Zetsu lured Uchiha Kaien over, Madara had changed his base of operations.

The facility in the Land of Iron was put on hold. Instead, he established a new underground hideout in the Land of Grass.

Such caution and patience were essential for someone working behind the scenes.

He couldn't afford to let that kid discover ...
