The massive, dark-purple exoskeleton-clad half-human, half-centipede monster—had just been beheaded by a man it had impaled moments ago.
The grotesque, pallid head tumbled down from its forty-meter height before crashing to the ground. Without its head, the monster’s colossal body finally collapsed with a thunderous boom.
<...
"Oh? Seems like I accidentally caught this monster's attention."
Feeling Sakamoto's terrifying gaze upon him, Hidan remarked with utter indifference.
To Hidan, this creature—one that would strike fear into any ordinary person—was nothing at all.
After all, in Hidan’s eyes, whether it was Sakamoto, Shiraishi Mor...
"Huh? Has this guy lost his damn mind?"
Hidan stared at Sakamoto, who had just gulped down eight or nine Kagune in one go, his expression a mix of shock and disbelief.
For a normal human, enduring the mental corruption of even one Kagune was already a feat. But this bastard had swallowed so many at once—this was pure, una...
Clearly, the scenario they had imagined did not come to pass.
Just before the "lid" of rock could seal him in, a massive dark-red centipede-like tail erupted from the "pot," spearing straight through the boulder.
At the same time, Shiraishi Mori leaped out from between the four earthen walls.
His monstrous Tail Kagun...
The monster before him bared its fangs in a grotesque grin. "Not enough… This power is still not enough!"
Shiraishi Mori had completely surrendered himself to his thirst for strength.
Under Abu’s horrified gaze, he leaped—not to attack him, but to land beside another ghoul.
His father, Shiraishi Ao.
With...
At this moment, Shiraishi Mori was already exhausted. Facing Abu’s sudden, ruthless strike, all he could do was hope that his Koukaku was tough enough to block the blade.
But the scene he imagined—being impaled—did not come to pass.
Because someone was faster than him.
That someone was Keiko, who possessed a Ri...
Upon hearing Shiki’s words, Sakamoto’s face turned ashen.
Right now, he wanted nothing more than to seize Shiki and tear him limb from limb.
Unfortunately, dozens of ghouls had already launched their attack.
They recklessly unleashed the violent energy within their bodies, venting the long-suppressed fury in thei...
The black exoskeleton on Shiraishi Mori suddenly surged, its surface reflecting a dark purple light, releasing explosive power, and directly tearing apart the steel cage in front of him!
Seeing this, Sakamoto was naturally enraged.
"Where did this monster come from? Kill him immediately!"
At Sakamoto's command, his s...
When he heard those words, Shiraishi Mori didn’t smile. Instead, his brows furrowed as he stared at Shiki with suspicion.
"You want to help me? Why?"
Shiki gently removed his glasses, breathed on them, and wiped them with his sleeve.
“No reason.”
“If I had to give a reason, maybe it’s because you’r...
At the heart of the cruise ship stood a massive arena.
Rows of spectator seats fanned outward in a square formation, encircling a steel octagonal cage at the center.
The thick, rusted bars of the cage twisted together chaotically, exuding a savage aura.
The bloodstains splattered across them made it impossible to tel...
The day after the wedding.
Hanekawa and Tsunade did not stay in Konoha but returned to the capital of the Land of Fire.
For them, life would not change just because of a wedding.
After all, they had already been living together long before.
The only purpose of the wedding was to formalize their status as husba...
Morning Ceremony – 10:00 AM
The palace courtyard was packed with guests—shinobi, villagers, and government officials alike. Conversations hushed as Samui stepped forward.
"The bride and groom may now enter."
Her cool voice cut through the murmurs.
All eyes turned toward the entrance as Hanekawa and Yuuhi K...
Raikage Secretary’s Office
Samui stared blankly at the wedding guest list Hanekawa had given her.
The list itself wasn’t the issue—it was the brides.
Why were there two brides?
Yuuhi Kurenai? That didn’t surprise her.
In fact, most people expected Hanekawa to marry Kurenai.
They had grown...
Morning.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the room.
Hanekawa opened his eyes and let out a yawn.
But when he instinctively tried to lift his arms, he felt them pinned down by something soft and heavy.
Hanekawa glanced to either side.
Tsunade and Yuuhi Kurenai were each sleeping soundly, using h...
"It seems someone is impersonating the Jashin Cult?"
Sakamoto's eyes burned with killing intent as he barked, "Lock him up and find out who he is."
"Yes, sir!"
His subordinates quickly retreated.
Sakamoto then turned to Shiki and asked, "I wonder if the Mr. Shiki would be interested in joining me to see this f...
"AAAAAHHHHH—!!!"
A scream of unbearable agony echoed through the room.
The man collapsed to his knees, his face twisted in pain, veins bulging grotesquely beneath his skin as if countless worms were writhing inside him.
At this moment, it felt like an invisible hand had seized every blood vessel and nerve in his b...
The moment the bunny girl’s delicate hand touched Shiki’s chest, a voice suddenly interrupted:
“So noisy! So damn noisy!”
Hidan walked into the private room, a fried chicken leg in his mouth.
“All this damn music and smell everywhere—it’s driving me crazy!”
President Sakamoto frowned slightly, ...
Sakamoto's gaze lingered on Shiki and Hidan for over ten seconds before he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, please come aboard and have a chat. Your Cult Leader and I go way back—decades, in fact."
Hearing this, Shiki also revealed a sincere smile and said, "The Cult Leader often speaks...
The moon hung in the sky, casting a cold, silvery glow over the worn dirt path. The sea breeze carried a faint briny scent as it brushed against their faces.
"Hey, bastard Shiki," Hidan called out, trailing behind him with a suspicious look.
"Don’t tell me you’re planning to help them just because you ate their roasted...
“Since this grilled pork chop is pretty good, I’ll spare your life, old man.”
Hidan sat cross-legged on the floor, devouring the pork chop with both hands.
“I’m glad you like it, sir.”
Despite Hidan’s arrogant tone, the grandfather forced a polite smile.
Watching this, Shiraishi Mori clenched his...
This was a small fishing village on the coast, at the edge of the Land of Rivers.
Though it was already evening, the village was eerily quiet—no cooking smoke, no signs of life.
Inside a dilapidated little courtyard, a girl no older than four or five lifted her head, her dark eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"Big...
"Damn you, I'll kill—"
Before Hidan could finish, Kikuchi Miura raised his foot and stomped down hard.
The sheer force smashed Hidan's face into the ground, blood splattering instantly. The impact even left a small crater, perfectly embedding his head into the pavement.
Now, he couldn’t even speak.
With hi...
"Two useless fools!"
Seeing his two subordinates easily taken down by Hidan, Kikuchi Miura couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
His plan to use them as distractions against Hidan had failed, and now he had no choice but to face the two freaks—Hidan and Shiki—directly.
Even so, as a seasoned warrior, Kikuch...
"Teach these two a proper lesson."
Kikuchi Miura's voice was frostier than winter steel.
But the two cultists beside him hesitated.
"Um... Lord Miura, Hidan and Shiki are the Holy Sons of our cult. Wouldn’t this be... inappropriate?"
Kikuchi’s glacial gaze swept over them. "So you’re disobeying my orders...
After Hanekawa activated his Rinne Sharingan, a flood of information surged into his mind.
This knowledge was innate to the Rinne Sharingan, detailing its abilities.
He discovered that his Rinne Sharingan techniques were identical to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s—such as Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists, All-Killing Ash Bones, Yomotsu Hi...
Hokage’s Office.
Hanekawa and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya stepped out of a dark portal.
With the Divine Tree in Mount Myōboku needing a month to bear fruit, there was no reason to stay. After all, no shinobi in the current era posed a threat to it.
"Kaguya."
Hanekawa glanced around—Samui was nowhere in sight.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya immediately activated the Rinne-Sharingan on her forehead upon hearing Hanekawa’s words.
An invisible shockwave erupted, flattening all nearby vegetation.
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow.
After consuming two Divine Tree fruits, Kaguya’s aura alone was terrifying—even before she made a move.
...
8:30 AM.
Konoha Ninja Academy.
By the time Hanekawa arrived, the place was already packed with people, bustling like a popular tourist attraction.
Today was the enrollment day for the Ninja Academy.
Hanekawa rarely made appearances like this, but his three students were starting school.
Three years had ...
"Rise."
Hanekawa’s gaze swept across the hall.
With the S-Rank trait "Emperor of the Shinobi World," he now had the eerie sense that a mere glance could decide life or death.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tsunade and the others stood.
Hanekawa mused silently—No wonder so many crave the throne.
T...
"You want to become the Daimyō?"
Kurenai’s voice was laced with shock.
When Hanekawa had first mentioned unifying the shinobi world, she had been surprised but could still accept it.
After all, decades ago, Hashirama Senju had already achieved a similar feat.
Hanekawa’s strength was no less than his, so a...
