“What, isn’t that the case?” Nawaki asked, feeling a bit lost in Takuya’s explanation.
Minato nodded in agreement.
Takuya nudged Minato over, making room for himself between the two. He picked up a stick and started drawing circles in the dirt.

Besides, Takuya had a point: chasing down the enemy not only avenges their earlier struggle but also earns them battle merits.
It didn’t ...

“No need to rush. There’ll be plenty of enemies to go around. Besides, you’re destined to become the fastest man in the ninja world. Just aim to be quicker than me next time.”

If it hadn’t come from one of his most trusted operatives, he would’ve thought someone was playing a prank on him.
Could it be that I, Hanzo the Salamander, am falling behind the times?

As long as the Third Kazekage doesn’t mind dying of embarrassment, I’m good with it.

Previously, when facing Orochimaru and Sasori, Akira had revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, genuinely intending to use Kotoamatsukami to bring Orochimaru under his control. The Akatsuki members were aware of this, and Itachi likely thought Akira still wanted to recruit Orochimaru. By sending this message, Itachi was subtly ...

However, the incid...
