A few days after passing the Chunin Exam, the trio received a notification from the Anbu and headed together to the Hokage's office. The village had a mission for them.
"I told you, once we became a Chunin team, there's no way the village would just let us sit idle. Minato, don't get too worked up, from now on, you're our team's captain."
"What?"
"Why?"
As Minat...

Unfortunately, Takuya wasn’t into making such announcements.
Minato and the others found nothing odd about it and happily started eating.
“If the village assigns you guys missions, won’t you be really busy from now on?” Kushina suddenly realized this.
If possible, she still hoped that Takuya and his friends would continue as before, taking on missions occasionally.

“I know,” Takuya shrugged, pointing at himself. “But the fact that I have Uchiha blood is enough for some people. Whether I return to the Uchiha clan or not doesn’t really matter. In fact, not returning might make some people even audacious.”
“….”
Is it really that serious?
Minato wasn’t sure.
But he trusted that Takuya wouldn’t be cautious for no rea...

The referee glanced at the two with a puzzled expression and announced loudly:
"The assessment begins!"
"Little brother, no matter how much you flatter me, I won’t go easy on you..." The jonin began to warn Takuya that she wouldn’t hold back.
But before she could finish her sentence, the smile froze on her face.
As soon as the referee declared the start of the match,...

"Why, Takuya, what are you doing?" Minato clutched his head, leaping up high in surprise.
Takuya laughed heartily: "I'm just trying to cheer you up, you know?"
"You could say thank you, at least. Look, you're all better now, right?"
"..." Is this your idea of cheering someone up?
Minato was at his wit's end.

A child, just seven years old, growing up under the cold stares of others, with barely enough money to survive.
But the most significant issue? Even if Naruto Uzumaki had money, no one was willing to sell him food.
When he was younger, Naruto often starved to the point where he would go into the wild to gather mushrooms and cook them himself. Even after graduating from the ninja aca...

“My... my father... is the Fourth Hokage!?” Naruto Uzumaki stood there, stunned, as Uchiha Akira's words echoed in his mind.
If Naruto had to name his greatest hero, it would undoubtedly be the Fourth Hokage. Ever since his first appearance in the original story, Naruto had always admired the Hokage, especially the Fourth Hokage, who had defeated the Nine-Tails. Naruto had always seen...

Uchiha Fugaku’s words sent shockwaves through the Hokage ceremony.
The Uchiha had killed the Third Hokage and seized control of Konoha—a move that wasn’t exactly praiseworthy. Faced with the Uchiha’s overwhelming power, no one dared to openly criticize this during the Hokage transition. For most, the best course of action was to pretend it never happened.
Yet here was Fugaku...

With the revelation of the seventh sin, Uchiha Akira exposed Uzumaki Naruto’s true identity, leaving the entire Uchiha leadership in stunned silence.

Initially, when Uchiha Akira mentioned exposing the dark secrets of the Third Hokage, it was clear that once the Third's virtuous image was shattered, the Uchiha clan's takeover of Konoha would seem even more justified.
As a result, the Uchiha clan’s leaders were eager, ready to dig into the Third Hokage’s dirty secrets.
But when Uchiha Akira said that he had already compiled th...

No matter how noble Uchiha Itachi's ideals may have been, he betrayed the Uchiha clan and even killed many of its members.

Had he remained within the Uchiha territory, his inevitable fate would have been execution on the spot.

But why were they called that? Might Guy had never really thought abou...

That night, the Uchiha clan—and indeed, the entire village of Konoha—was destined to remain sleepless.
Countless shinobi lost their lives that night, including members of the Anbu, the Root division, and even the Uchiha clan itself.
On that night, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also met his end.
By the time dawn broke the next morning, the villagers of Konoha realized...

While other teams were swamped with missions, Ethan’s team was the complete opposite—they barely went out a few times a month.
Especially after the war broke out, they spent most of their time in the village, training and improving their skills.
If this were any other genin team, the Third Hokage wouldn’t have anything to say.
In both Konoha and other villages, a signifi...

Kushina decided to create a hidden compartment in her bedroom.
She dug a passageway downward, leading to a small secret room where she could rest. Every night, she’d sleep there, leaving a shadow clone in her bedroom to maintain appearances.

Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village were locked in fierce combat.

"So you're saying that Kushina's identity as a Jinchuriki was discovered because she smells like a fox?" The Nine-Tails processed this information in its own way. What do foxes smell like?
Probably like fox stench!

The Nine-Tails’ struggles sent wa...

Not having a Jonin instructor really has its perks.
You can take on missions when you want, rest when you don't, and just stay in the village to train.
Easy, breezy.
Mikoto needed to head home to check in, so the two of them split up and went their separate ways.
Hmm...
Just as Ethan got to his front door, he realized he might be in for some trouble.
