Uchiha Gin exchanged a few pleasantries with Senju Momoka, drawing a series of soft laughs from her. As he looked up at the ancient and tranquil Senju residence, he asked,
"Where’s Brother Hashirama?"
"He’s meditating in the inner courtyard right now," Momoka replied with a cheerful smile.
Recently, Hashirama had...
The Shrek group advanced cautiously toward the mixed zone.
Along the way, they encountered several hundred-year-old spirit beasts, some traveling in packs, others alone. Zhao Wuji didn’t order any attacks, choosing instead to lead them around the creatures.
“Stop! Rest here for one hour,” Zhao Wuji ordered at midday.<...
The night was deep and silent.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were sound asleep under their blankets, while Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged by the bedside.
In another room, Oscar was being thoroughly overworked by Dai Mubai and the others, constantly producing sausages to feed them.
Star Dou Forest!
The golden aura of...
Zhao Wuji and Oscar rushed outside, and the restaurant returned to calm.
Qian Renxue lowered her voice.
"Brother, someone’s watching us."
"Perfect. If they don’t come, it’ll be far less entertaining," Qian Renjue replied with a faint smile, completely unconcerned.
"Then I’ll wait and see," Qian Renxue said...
Oscar's peach blossom eyes gleamed as he whispered a suggestion to Ning Rongrong:
"Rongrong, if you want to fit into Shrek, you need to prove it through your actions."
"Prove that you belong to Shrek!"
"Huh?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head in confusion, staring at Oscar like he’d lost his mind.
What’s wrong with th...
The man and woman wearing bamboo hats were none other than the siblings Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue.
Their presence seemed to divide the Shrek faction into two distinct sides. Yet, the aura surrounding Qian Renxue subtly silenced the area.
Apart from Qian Renjue, no one else seemed to notice the change.
Ye Zhiqiu hes...
Finally, after much persuasion, Uchiha Gin reluctantly acknowledged his annoying cousin, Uchiha Madara, as family again. With a cold expression, he stared at his cousin, who lowered his head in apology, and silently decided not to warn the brat about the Nine-Tails anymore.
"Only by suffering can he remember how good his c...
Konohagakure (Konoha).
In the center of the village, the once simple two-story temporary office building had been replaced by a brand-new Hokage Tower. Atop its bright red tiled roof was a round plaque adorned with a large kanji for "Fire." From the rooftop terrace, one could gaze out at the entire village with an unobstru...
Tang San and the group had just left.
Soon after, a carriage pulled up at the gates of Shrek Academy.
The curtain was lifted, and a one-eyed man, Yu Xiaogang, leaning on a cane, alighted from the carriage.
His face was pale and bloodless, and his remaining left eye carried a wistful expression.

...
Spirit City.
After the Shrek team disbanded, Qian Renjue and the others had just finished dinner and were strolling leisurely halfway up the mountain, enjoying the night breeze.
On either side of Bibi Dong were Hu Liena and Qian Renxue. The two women held Bibi Dong’s arms affectionately, not saying much, but the atmos...
"No! Stay away from me!"
Startled by just one look from Uchiha Gin, Isobu was left speechless in terror for a moment. Watching the man walk toward him step by step, Isobu resembled a frightened, betrayed child with his wild curly hair.
Uchiha Gin, however, paid him no mind. With a swift slash of the wooden sword in his ...
Upon hearing these words, Senju Itama, whose thoughts were long elsewhere, didn't even glance back. Instead, she casually tossed the pot on her back toward Uchiha Gin and dashed toward the tailed beasts like a wild horse set free.
"Hey, hey! Be careful with that!"
Catching the Amber Purifying Pot mid-air, Uchiha Gin...
Qian Renjue was seated in the Pope’s Hall, while Bibi Dong, the current Pope, was leisurely chatting with her daughter in the courtyard.
Nearby, Hu Liena was training alongside Xiao Fei Die.
"Xiao Xue, we’ve been rather poor teachers as mother and daughter, haven’t we?"
Bibi Dong, dressed in casual attire, propped ...
As yet another chunk of flesh fell to the ground, Dai Mubai and the others were frozen in fear.
Tang San’s legs and the ground beneath him were soaked in blood.
Pop—
Tang San, trembling violently, nearly rolling his eyes back, pulled the cloth out of his mouth.
Like an elderly man at death's door, he bent ...
Hearing Xiao Wu’s teary voice, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.
What a green tea act!
She’s really overdoing it now!
Tang San, suppressing the panic in his heart, tried his best to sound calm and soothing.
“Xiao Wu, don’t come over.”
“Don’t worry, I promise I’ll be fine.”
Xiao Wu’s eyes wer...
"Careful!"
Seeing Uchiha Haruka recklessly approach the enraged tailed beast, Senju Hashirama's heart sank in shock. He was about to step forward to suppress the situation when a large hand blocked his path.
"Hold on, Brother Hashirama, don't be so hasty."
With a lollipop in his mouth that seemed to have appeared out...
Honestly, venturing out at this scorching time of day was truly unwise. The blazing sun beat down on the girls, their fair, exposed skin stinging under its relentless heat.
Especially for Senju Itama, who was carrying the heavy pot. She was drenched in fragrant sweat, large beads sliding off her fair chin and dripping incessantly....
"Sigh…"
Uchiha Gin absentmindedly rubbed the rough surface of the amber-colored bottle in his hand, muttering to himself,
"Life is truly unpredictable—like sausage wrapped in intestine."
Senju Itama, busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen, poked her head out with a frown. Looking at the lamenting Uchiha Gin, she ask...
Staring at the mission scroll in front of him, Uchiha Gin rubbed his temples in frustration. When Tobirama Senju pulled out a scroll earlier, Gin had assumed it was for his appointment to a dungeon post.
But as he eagerly opened it, the contents immediately made his vision go black, his hands and feet icy cold.
“Are y...
After a round of explanations, even after understanding the situation, Xiao Wu remained firm.
"We’re still in the right, no matter what!"
"Even so, that doesn’t justify him forcing a girl," Xiao Wu said, hands on her hips and frowning.
Dai Mubai also understood that Ma Hongjun’s behavior was out of line. Things...
"Let's talk after sister finishes freshening up."
Qian Renjue clutched his chest and rubbed it, then crouched down and hid under the blanket.
Qian Renxue glanced back at him irritably.
Approaching Bibi Dong, she placed her hands on her delicate shoulders.
"Mom, you need to manage Jue properly."
"Wasn't it X...
What was happening now might have been the greatest crisis Senju Tobirama had ever faced in his life. Even during the chaotic Warring States period, he had never felt so close to death.
As the massive hand in front of him was about to descend, Tobirama gritted his teeth, preparing for a desperate fight. The dark-haired woman befor...
Early morning, before the sun had risen.
The rooster was just about to wake up for its duties. Still half-asleep, it was startled to see a figure slowly walking along the street.
Someone up earlier than it? Was it an ox or a horse?
"Bang, bang, bang—"
In the midst of a dream featuring an intense showdown wi...
Seeing Ning Rongrong’s playful smile, Zhu Zhuqing grew curious. Purple light flickered in her eyes as she scanned the surroundings, tilting her head in confusion.
“Rongrong, Xiao Wu, what’s your relationship with Teacher?”
“Hehe.”
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing confirm her suspicion, Ning Rongrong immediately threw ...
It was late at night.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others had no idea about the intense battle that had unfolded in the small forest.
In Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong’s dormitory, whispers could be heard.
"Xiao Wu, why did you play dead today?"
Lying under the covers, Ning Rongrong sounded puzzled.
"I noticed that Ta...
Inside the room.
Zhao Wuji rubbed his hands together, brimming with anticipation.
Just as he was contemplating how to train Tang San and the others in the future, a sudden eerie and effeminate voice echoed by his ear, freezing the smile on his face.
"Zhao Wuji~"
"Who’s there?!"
Zhao Wuji abruptly sto...
For ninjas, combat is a battle of intelligence.
Mei Terumi hadn't anticipated Hanekawa using Lightning Release and suffered a major setback because of it.
Her entire body went numb for an instant. By the time she regained her senses, she had already let go of the water whip.
Hanekawa seized the opportunity to free hi...
After finishing their tea, Hanekawa and Sakumo Hatake returned to their tents.
A moment later, Tsunade lifted the tent flap and walked in.
"Sensei," Hanekawa greeted, noticing her damp hair and realizing what she had just been doing.
"Mm," Tsunade replied, sitting on the carpet. She pulled out a towel and prepare...
"Meet at the village gate at 9 o'clock," Tsunade said as she left the Hokage’s office.
"Understood," Hanekawa replied before parting ways with them to head to the Ninja Academy.
He didn’t have much to do there—just needed to request leave.
As for Kurenai Yuhi, he had already mentioned it to her earlier that mor...
“Sensei, I’m heading out. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
Hanekawa stood by the doorway, putting on her shoes. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and reminded, “Don’t forget to check the gift I gave you.”
“Got it!”
Tsunade replied lazily, half-lying on the sofa.
With a thud, the door ...
