029 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

Kakashi first glanced at the two charred corpses lying in the massive crater.

Then he raised a hand, touching his singed eyebrows and the burnt edge of his mask.

Kakashi: !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

My eyebrows!

Kakashi, the "Copy Ninja" who had copied over a thousand jutsu with his Sharingan, instantly recognized the move Shinju had just used — it was merely an ordinary C-ra...

In the blink of an eye, Shinju's group had already been on the road for half a day.

Normally, a ninja's running speed was incredibly fast, so there wasn't much need for vehicles.

But right now, Team 7 was on an escort mission, and they had to take into account the walking pace of Tazuna, who was just an ordinary civilian. So they had been walking the entire way.

That got Shinj...

027 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

Konoha's mission system is simple. First, the village's leadership accepts requests from outsiders, then assigns them an A, B, C, or D difficulty rating before distributing them to ninja of the corresponding rank.

A-rank missions involve matters that could affect the fate of a country or the village itself—guarding VIPs, taking down enemy ninja squads, and so on. Only Konoha jōnin can ...

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi waved his hand and said,

"You got the bell on your own strength. How could that not count?"

"Remember—ninjas should put the mission first."

"Right now, your mission is to get the bell. Once you get it, the mission's done. Don't worry about the process or the method."

Kakashi instructed them calmly.

Sure, the idea was a little�...

025 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

Kakashi might have looked like he was reading, but his attention had been fixed on the few brats not far away.

He wanted to see whether, when faced with danger, this newly formed little team would actually cooperate...or if one of them might suddenly unleash a surprising amount of power.

On the other side, Shinju, who was busy thinking about how to pass the exam, suddenly came up wi...

After a brief blush, Sasuke realized his slip-up. Reaching out his hand to Shinju, he spoke in a mix of arrogance and shyness:

"I'm Sasuke. Nice to meet you."

Shinju: "???"

Could you not make that kind of face?!

You're really scaring me here!

Shinju was starting to doubt his earlier guess.

Could this really be a heroine-style plotline?!

This is...

023 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

After handing in their ninja registration forms, Shinju and Naruto headed to the Ninja Academy for their very last class — the Ninja Orientation Session.

In this class, the teacher would systematically go over everything they needed to pay attention to after becoming ninjas, as well as assign them into genin squads.

Ninja Orientation Session.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Today was the day of the ninja graduation exam for Shinju and Naruto.

That morning, the two of them, brimming with excitement, left together and stepped into the examination hall.

First came the written test — for Shinju, it was no challenge at all.

Next were the demonstrations of the Substitution Jutsu, Clone Jutsu, and...

This kid… is he really a dead-last?!

Ebisu was dumbfounded.

A so-called "dead-last" with a deep mastery of ninjutsu, and chakra control so fine it's like a hair's breadth?!

That's terrifying!

If someone like this counts as dead-last, then doesn't that mean there's not a single good student in all of Konoha?

...

Hokage's Office.

160 Roger Pirates Apprentice

The Elders had given such instructions to the Marines:

Persuade Crocodile to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As for Sammi, the World Government's response was the same.

"Apologies, Miss Sammi, but Crocodile cannot be released for now—unless she agrees to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan."

"The World Government cannot allow its dignity to be trampled at will�...

159 Roger Pirates Apprentice

Hearing this title, even someone like Sengoku—who had weathered countless storms on the sea—couldn't help blurting out in confusion.

What did that mean? That title!

"Who's beside you, Kong!!!"

At that sudden exclamation, one of the Elders who had been calmly issuing orders—Saint Saturn—narrowed his cold gaze and questioned Kong directly.

Kong lowered his head and...

190 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

The next morning, at the Konoha camp.

Renya once again applied poison to his blade, preparing for the upcoming journey to the Land of Lightning.

They would be departing for the Land of Lightning today, so he had risen early.

Although the Gold and Silver Brothers had been eliminated and Senju Tobirama's safety was now largely secured, it was still best to remai...

189 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Whenever Renya cooked, there would always be a group of "passing by" shinobi appearing around him for no apparent reason.

They pretended to be training, discussing tactics, or even repairing ninja tools, but their eyes would all, without fail, drift toward the direction of the rising cooking smoke.

These guys were all shinobi from the camp's kitchen unit, hoping to sneak over and se...

275 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Land of Fields, Otogakure.

Otogakure was the ninja village Orochimaru founded after leaving the Akatsuki, created specifically to fund his research.

Scientific research required enormous amounts of money. After parting ways with Danzō and Konoha, the funds Orochimaru had earned over the years through missions still weren't enough. So, he established Otogakure to se...

274 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

The moment Sasuke heard that Orochimaru was the only one who could become his teacher, his fists clenched tightly.

Gritting his teeth, he asked,

"Is there really no one else?"

"There was one more—the Second Hokage. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us."

The Second Hokage's research on the Sharingan was no weaker than Orochimaru's—in some ways, it even surpassed him....

215 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Outside the Kaguya clan's compound, Momochi Zabuza appeared with two Chūnin, only to be stopped at the gate by Kaguya clan shinobi — just as expected.

"I thought the blood mist that shrouded the village had lifted, but I didn't expect something like this to still happen."

Zabuza, his face half-covered in bandages, looked with interest at the corpses being carried out by the Kaguy...

214 The Shimura Has Ice Release

The Kaguya clan's territory was easy enough to find.

It was on the very edge of Kirigakure, far from the village center.

If you compared it to Konoha, its position would be about the same as where the Uchiha were forcibly relocated by Danzo after the Nine-Tails' attack.

No wonder the Kaguya clan launched a rebellion in the original story—was it because they, too, suffered di...

242 Scourge of the Ninja World

Konoha Hokage Office Building, conference room.

It was still the familiar Konoha Council, but this time, Tsunade was also there.

Gekko Chizan was clutching the Sword of the Thunder God for dear life, grinning so widely he looked like his face might split. The sight was as ridiculous as it could be.

"Alright, the Sword of the Thunder God is yours. You don't nee...

241 Scourge of the Ninja World

Land of Hot Water, southern coastal area.

"So, you're saying Raiga Kurosuki and Mangetsu Hōzuki are both dead?"

"The mission to assassinate the daimyo failed, and the Lightning Blades was also taken."

"Hehehe, Jūzō Biwa, tell me—how do you still have the courage to come back?"

On a boulder, a black-haired middle-aged man sat with his eyes closed, a ...

273 Starting from One Piece

Kong didn't know what to say. Right now, only one question filled his mind—why would the Five Elders agree to let Kaito be promoted to Fleet Admiral when they clearly knew he wasn't exactly fond of the World Government?

Was it because they feared Kaito's strength?

Granted, Kaito's power had reached an absolutely terrifying level. But Kong had seen Imu before, and the pressure Imu ...

272 Starting from One Piece

The next morning,

Kaito gently pushed away Shalria, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and got out of bed.

A Fleet Admiral's uniform materialized over his body, fitting him perfectly.

He stood before the mirror, gave himself a once-over, and nodded in satisfaction before stepping forward to leave.

"Kaito, are you leaving already?"

His footste...

"It's not that I'm looking down on that dead-last. Everything I said is the truth."

Ebisu pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, speaking with complete confidence.

Konohamaru, determined to prove that what his niichan had taught him was actually useful, stretched out his hand. Chakra turbulence began swirling in his palm as he tried to form a Rasengan.

"Sensei, lo...

After witnessing Shinju unleash such a powerful jutsu, Konohamaru's entire body trembled with excitement.

If he could use that move to sneak attack his grandpa from behind, he'd definitely beat him!(Maybe even blast him into dust with a sneak attack.)

When that happened, everyone in the village would finally acknowledge him!

"I have to learn this! Please, teach me thi...

Shinju: "Not teaching. ┐(´-｀)┌"

Konohamaru froze for a moment at that reply.

This guy was clearly wary of his identity as the Hokage's grandson.

So why was he refusing to teach him now?

"Why?"

Konohamaru asked in confusion.

"Because you're a troublesome little brat, and I don't want to teach you."

Shinju spread his hands.

017 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

The day of the ninja midterm exams was drawing closer.

Ever since the day he ran into Guy and Lee, Shinju had continued his taijutsu training.

By now, he could just barely open the Sixth Gate.

Improving one's physical abilities wasn't something you could rush. Push too hard, and you'd cause irreversible damage to the body.

That's why Shinju stuck to his daily training ro...

Konoha Village.

The following days were peaceful.

Aside from guiding Naruto in his training each day, Shinju spent the rest of his time honing his own ninjutsu and taijutsu.

In the past two days especially, after realizing his shortcomings in taijutsu, he had focused heavily on that area.

Finally—

Through relentless exploration of his own body, h...

Yamato: (º Д º*)

You've gotta be kidding me…

Yamato stared blankly at the house Shinju had just made using the Four-Pillar House Technique.

Because… Shinju's house was better than the ones he made!

The interior had every facility you could think of—complete with a wooden bed, wooden table, wooden stools, even a wardrobe!

Yamato pinched himself.

"Look at you… this jutsu has far more uses than just getting from one place to another."

Shinju wore an expression full of mystery.

Naruto's thinking was just too simple!

Shinju continued, "A jutsu this convenient should be used for hauling things! That would be way more practical and useful!"

Naruto: "…"

Somehow, I still feel like using it for travel sounds mo...

"Another test already?"

The whole class instantly wilted like frostbitten eggplants.

Ignoring their groans, Iruka-sensei said,

"The final exam of the Ninja Academy is coming up soon. I want all of you to pass, so practice tests are absolutely necessary!"

Seeing that the test was inevitable, Naruto sidled up to Shinju.

Back in the day, Shinju might have been hopeles...

Beside them.

Following the principle of leniency for confessing first, Shinju stepped forward.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama… I really was trying to hold back, but I didn't expect…"

The Third still refused to believe it, his sharp gaze turning to Yamato.

"Yamato, you even taught this kid to take the blame for you?!"

Yamato: So no matter what, it's all my fault, huh?...
