On an April morning, the weather was neither too cold nor too hot.
However, Kurenai Yuhi seemed a little downcast.
Just moments ago, Hanekawa had told her he was going to the Land of Fire's capital city today.
“When will you be back?”
Kurenai kicked a small stone on the road and asked.
“Very soon.”<...
Hanekawa woke up again, and it was already evening.
He was still in Tsunade’s embrace, his face pressed against her shoulder, surrounded by a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Instinctively, Hanekawa opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the bustling street—it was still Tanzaku Street.
His eyes shifted leftward,...
Eating alone doesn’t need to be complicated.
Hanekawa improvised and made a bowl of ramen.
He stepped out of the kitchen, used his Meal Magic, and called out, “Sensei, food’s ready!”
Tsunade got up from the couch and walked to the dining table.
Seeing only one bowl of ramen, she was slightly taken ...
“Be careful, Hanekawa-senpai.”
After forming the Seal of Confrontation, Shisui Uchiha immediately created some distance between them.
At incredible speed, he expelled a blazing fireball from his mouth—the Uchiha clan’s signature technique: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
The air rippled with intense h...
"Why isn’t Shisui here?"
Hanekawa glanced around. Most of his friends had shown up, but Uchiha Shisui was noticeably absent.
Given Shisui’s personality, it was unusual for him to skip training.
"Shisui hasn’t trained with us for the past two days," Sarutobi Asuma said, sounding a bit worried. "Maybe somethi...
The village of Kirigakure was silent under the night sky.
“Seriously? Is he insane?!”
Terumi Mei shot up from her bed, her voice filled with frustration.
She had just dreamed of Hanekawa again, replaying the memory of him stealing her wallet.
“That bastard!”
Clenching her fists, she punched ...
Hanekawa opened Terumi Mei's wallet.
The first thing that caught his eye was a stack of money.
He counted: a total of 2,700 ryō.
Aside from the money, there were two hot spring discount coupons and a bottle of blue nail polish.
Hanekawa smirked.
The future Mizukage sure is broke.

...
“Cultivating?”
Ling Yuan stood at the doorway, her gaze lingering on Ah Yin’s flushed face. She couldn’t help but take a second glance.
“If Sister Ling Yuan has something to pass along, Nana can deliver it on her behalf,” Hu Liena said softly.
“Alright, once His Highness finishes cultivating, Nana, give...
After catching his breath briefly, Tang San took the initiative to dismantle and store the cart.
"Xiao Wu, there are still two days until registration. Let’s find a place to stay first."
"Sure, no problem!"
Xiao Wu casually pulled out a small fan, her round, bright pink eyes curiously observing the surroundings.
Konoha.
With the ninja clans settling in, the village's development began to stabilize, and everything appeared well-organized. The shops that the clans had pre-prepared were gradually opening, filling the streets with endless hustle and bustle.
At present, the hottest topic of discussion on the lively streets was who would...
"I am doomed!"
The young man stared at the vast ocean before him, his face filled with despair.
With no path ahead and pursuers closing in behind, he had no way to escape.
"Don't resist. I won't kill you."
A voice from behind him echoed, calm and composed.
The young man was a defector from Kirigakur...
“What’s the situation on your side?” Cod asked as he glanced at Scallop.
“It’s just a kid from the Hidden Leaf,” Scallop replied with a shake of his head. “But it’s only a clone—I couldn’t find the real body.”
“A kid?” Terumi Mei couldn’t help but ask, “How old?”
“About your age,” ...
Under the Night Sky
A petite figure suddenly appeared in the dark.
She was dressed in a gray standard-issue flak jacket, her face hidden behind a cat-shaped mask, with only a pair of bright green eyes visible.
Her reddish-brown hair swayed gently in the wind. Standing at about 1.23 meters tall, she was clearly ju...
A new day.
At the breakfast table, Kurenai Yuhi was sulking.
She had just learned that Hanekawa was leaving today for a mission.
That wasn’t the worst part—the mission would take one or two weeks, maybe even longer.
“Kurenai.”
Her father, Shinku Yuhi, glanced at Hanekawa, then forced a smile and...
Water Style: Wild Water Wave!
Kurenai Yuhi stood in front of a tree, forming seals with her hands.
Chakra surged, flowing out from her throat and transforming into a stream of water.
With a crisp sound, a visible mark appeared on the tree trunk.
Kurenai froze for a moment, then turned and ran excitedly.
"Daddy, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, what are you two chattering about?"
Just as Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were at a loss for words, Ning Rongrong’s head peeked out from the treasure vault’s entrance.
She curiously looked at them, her short pink hair and delicate, charming face accentuating her graceful yet slightl...
"Teacher, rest assured, Zhuqing promises to complete the mission!"
Zhu Zhuqing held Qian Renjue's hand against her cheek and solemnly nodded, her youthful face blushing slightly.
"Goodbye, Teacher."
"Stay safe, and if you encounter danger, call for me anytime," Qian Renjue said with a gentle smile.
He stepped forw...
"Teacher, how does this weapon work? Can I learn to make one too?"
Zhu Zhuqing blushed, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Of course, no problem. I'll give you Lou Gao's compiled notes later," Qian Renjue replied with a smile, nodding.
Holding the steel tube-like weapon in his hands, he explained,
"It's still quite ...
In the base hidden behind a massive waterfall, the middle-aged leader of the ninjas from the Land of Waterfalls paced anxiously. He had dispatched a squad of elite ninjas some time ago, but there was still no news. The silence gnawed at his nerves.
"Leader! Leader! They're back!"
The voice of one of his subordinates ran...
"Saiken!"
Beep... beep... beep...
The previously lively atmosphere of the chatroom was replaced with an eerie silence. The heavy-faced Gyūki severed his connection with the Saiken and shook his head at Kurama, whose expression was dark enough to drip water.
"The Saiken is missing as well."
"Gyūki, we'll be f...
Two days later.
Star Luo Empire, Zhu Family's Back Mountain.
In the middle of a wide clearing in the forest lay the corpse of a freshly killed Ten-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger.
Its pitch-black body still exuded a chilling aura, even under the sunlight.
Crack!
A sound like shattering porcelain echoed from w...
Dugu Yan turned her pretty face aside, took the skewer of grilled meat, and shyly asked,
"Your Highness, can’t you give Yan Yan a little sweetness?"
"Sweetness? Sure, how should I give it?"
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow and agreed with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Dugu Yan laughed sweetly, stood up, and g...
"They're so scattered, and two of them are even in the water."
Uchiha Madara paced through the quiet forest, flipping through the intelligence he had "freely acquired" from the Void Realm. His black eyes glimmered with a calculating light, his expression deep in thought.
The intelligence detailed that the Tailed Beasts wer...
As night fell and the bustling night market wound down, groups of drunken revelers staggered home, leaning on each other for support.
The lively Konoha Village gradually quieted under the soft glow of the moonlight. Occasionally, a security patrol passed by, but their movements were swift and silent, leaving no ripples in the sere...
With a hostage in the enemy’s hands, Tobirama Senju had no choice but to lower his white-haired head to the curly-haired figure before him.
"Has this guy taken the wrong medicine?"
The sudden turn of events made Uchiha Gin suspect whether this white-haired man was an imposter. Tobirama actually spoke politely!
Gin...
On Saturday, Hanekawa had just opened his door when he was greeted by an excited voice.
"Hanekawa! Look at this!"
Kurenai ran up to him, beaming.
"Look at what?" Hanekawa asked, yawning.
Kurenai didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she twirled around in front of him.
It was then that Hanekawa noticed s...
After finishing their meal, Hanekawa followed Tsunade out.
Half an hour later, he met Maruboshi Kosuke.
Kosuke wore a gray vest and carried a large black pot along with several spatulas, making him look more like a chef than a ninja.
Unlike in the original timeline, his left leg was still intact.
Seeing the la...
“Shisui.”
Hanekawa smiled and extended an invitation. “If you’re free, we can train together.”
Uchiha Obito was able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, so his talent wasn’t bad, but his growth during his time at the ninja academy had been relatively slow.
As for Uchiha Shisui, in a few years, his strength...
The air was scorching.
A massive fireball was once again launched, slamming into a nearby tree.
"I hit it! I hit it!"
Uchiha Tetsuka exclaimed excitedly.
"…"
Uchiha Shisui remained silent.
He was still fighting against an invisible opponent.
Shisui walked forward, glanced at Hanekawa, and ex...
"I’m getting old. Deciding on the next Hokage early will ensure greater stability for the Hidden Leaf Village," Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, taking a drag from his pipe as he locked eyes with Tsunade.
"Why are you asking me?" Tsunade replied, rolling her eyes. "Shouldn’t you be asking Danzo? He’d be more than happy to answe...
