Cloud Village, Raikage Tower
Dodai sat at his desk, reviewing documents.
As the Third Raikage’s right-hand man, he possessed the Lava Release kekkei genkai and was not only a formidable fighter but also the chief examiner for the legendary Double Lariat technique.
In the Cloud Village, there was a tradition...
Hanekawa looked at Tsunade holding a knife, momentarily stunned. Could she be planning to use him as a test subject?
Wide-eyed, he stared at her for a few seconds before gritting his teeth and extending his arm.
“Relax, it won’t hurt,” Tsunade said reassuringly.
As she spoke, she used a fruit knife to make a th...
“HIRUZEN!”
In the dead of night, a furious roar echoed through the Root headquarters of Konoha.
Shimura Danzō woke up with a grim expression.
In his dream, he had once again relived the agonizing scene of when Hiruzen was appointed as the Hokage.
His fists clenched tightly.
Hokage! I will become H...
The atmosphere of the meal shifted as Tsunade began drinking.
Hanekawa, being a child, had a small appetite and was soon full.
But for Tsunade, one drink was followed by another, the scent of alcohol mingling with her natural fragrance as it filled the room.
“Stop drinking, sensei!”
Hanekawa couldn’t help bu...
“You all did great today. Let’s go for some barbecue!”
Yūhi Shinku said, barely suppressing his urge to laugh aloud, his mouth twitching as he spoke.
Hanekawa glanced at him, tempted to say, Just laugh already. Your mouth is practically crooked.
“Barbecue!”
Kurenai’s ruby-like eyes sparkled with exciteme...
"Are you a dog? Breaking doors every day."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the wide-open doorway, feeling speechless.
"Lord Hokage,"
An ANBU ninja appeared upon hearing the commotion.
Wearing a frog mask, it was Haru.
"I’ll go find him now," she said after a quick glance, immediately understanding the situation.<...
The crowd watching let out a collective gasp.
Since their enrollment, Kakashi Hatake had been an undefeated presence. This was the first time they saw him falter.
Obito Uchiha rubbed his eyes, hardly believing what he was seeing.
Rin Nohara clasped her fingers tightly, looking visibly tense.
The battle continu...
Hanekawa felt very satisfied.
The effect of the D-level trait " Ninja Tools Expert" was truly overwhelming in the first year.
Although Obito Uchiha wasn't a complete underachiever, apart from his Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu, his basic skills were weak.
Coupled with the lack of the Sharingan, he couldn't evade...
Eichiro continued announcing the rankings.
As expected, the second place went to Kakashi Hatake.
But Kakashi couldn’t feel happy because he had fallen from first place.
However, there was still a chance.
The final rankings were determined by combining theory and practical results. As long as he secur...
“Dad, why are you still here?”
Kurenai Yuhi walked out of the bathroom, rubbing her damp hair. Her small face showed confusion.
She had just finished her morning training and was preparing to head to school.
Normally, at this hour, her father, Shinku Yuhi, would have already left.
“Uncle Shinku took the...
Morning.
Tsunade woke up.
She pressed her forehead, feeling a head ache.
Although she was a ninja, she never used chakra to sober up when drinking, so she often dealt with hangovers.
Tsunade glanced down.
Her clothes were half undone, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
Her chest subtly rose ...
Amid the bustling crowd, Hanekawa yawned out of boredom.
He shifted his position, finding a more comfortable spot in Tsunade’s warm and soft embrace.
Yet every time he was about to drift off, the alluring scents around him and the various fascinating sights nearby kept his eyes wide open.
At your age, can you e...
Hanekawa instinctively looked up at Tsunade, her face reflected in his eyes.
At that moment, his right eye twitched, and his entire field of vision transformed.
Hanekawa was struck with awe—so flawless!
Her delicate collarbones, smooth skin—everything was vividly clear under the magnification of his right eye.
Rin Nohara noticed Obito Uchiha’s awkwardness.
He stood there, visibly sweating bullets.
“Well… Obito, let Hanekawa explain it. You go ahead and take care of something else,” Rin said tactfully, retrieving her notebook.
“I’m not clueless! I just…” Obito stammered, his neck stiff and his face flushed a...
Jiraiya walked into the bookstore without hesitation.
As one of Konoha’s legendary Sannin, he felt it was his duty to investigate and critique this phenomenon.
---
“So crowded?”
Jiraiya looked at the bookstore packed with customers, his curiosity growing stronger.
It didn’t seem like mere cl...
Hanekawa managed to save himself from a spanking.
With the "Gambling God" trait on his side, winning the 500,000 ryo was a certainty—even Jesus couldn’t intervene.
“What do you want for dinner?”
Tsunade twirled the money she had just won in her hand, looking smug. Paired with that question, someone might have...
Monday morning.
Hanekawa followed his usual routine: running first, then practicing swordsmanship.
On his way past the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore, he stopped by and received some good news.
Tsuchibashi had found a novelist to start writing The Demon Slayer Ninjas.
According to the storyline, The Demon Slayer N...
"Ah! That hits the spot!"
Tsunade downed the contents of her sake bottle in one go, slamming it onto the table with a loud thud.
Hanekawa sat beside her, the mix of alcohol and her faint fragrance making him feel slightly dizzy.
The next moment, he suddenly felt the soft cushion of her ample figure pressing against h...
"Nonō, go handle your tasks. I'll watch over Hanekawa," Tsunade said casually after finishing her meal, waving her hand dismissively.
"You can't take him to a gambling den," Nonō Yakushi said suspiciously, her eyes narrowing.
"I won't," Tsunade replied, crossing her arms.
Of course, she wouldn’t take him—if Han...
"Hanekawa," Nonō Yakushi reminded him, "During the surgery, you must follow instructions—no wandering or unnecessary movements."
"I understand," Hanekawa nodded.
"Let's begin."
Tsunade walked to the operating table, pulling on her gloves.
Hanekawa stood quietly on the side, observing.
Even with the s...
“I... I’ll be back!”
Sarutobi Asuma didn’t know what to say, so he forced out a harsh parting line.
He turned and left the field, feeling the weight of everyone’s gazes, unable to stand still.
If it weren’t for the fact that class was still in session, he would have bolted long ago.
Hanekawa couldn’t...
Hanekawa didn’t linger and left the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore right away.
There was nothing more he needed to handle; Tsuchibashi would take care of the rest. He just wondered which writer Tsuchibashi would hire as a ghostwriter.
He thought of Jiraiya, but that was unlikely—hiring a ghostwriter wouldn’t reflect well ...
Thanks to Uchiha Gin’s auction and lottery event, the previously tense atmosphere of the village had turned lively. The ordinary people who had recently settled in the village began to lose their initial apprehension, replacing it with curiosity. The sense of alienation they felt toward the village subtly faded.
“Hmph! That gu...
In the dim backstage area, Yamanaka Soichiro was on edge when a blinding white light suddenly illuminated the space. As the doors swung open, Uchiha Gin entered, carrying a basket of clothes. He greeted Soichiro enthusiastically before setting the clothes down in front of him.
“Brother Soichiro, here are the clothes I brough...
“What are you planning to do?”
In the dim backstage area, the silhouette of the guard stood against the light, obscuring their features. Only a head of wild, curly hair gleamed under the glow. Yamanaka Soichiro, filled with doubt and fear, gripped his collar tightly with one hand while the other covered himself protectively. H...
Early Monday morning, in the small grove outside his house, Hanekawa invited Kurenai Yūhi to train together. She practiced genjutsu, while he focused on throwing ninja tools.
However, he found himself stuck on which three ninja tools he should master next.
The most common and basic tools were kunai, shuriken, senbon, and t...
"Father..."
Akimichi Torifu trembled as he gazed at his usually gentle and affable father. The plump man now exuded a terrifying aura, causing those around him to unconsciously step back.
Before him lay a thin, bandaged man, his body covered in blood-stained wrappings. Most shockingly, both his hands were severed, with dark...
"Just go ahead and do it. As your elder cousin, I have enough authority to make it happen."
Looking at Uchiha Gin’s face glowing with the aura of a leader, Uchiha Izuna felt deeply moved. His cousin always prioritized the family’s interests, no matter the circumstances. Such loyalty was truly the Uchiha clan’s greatest fortu...
“Dinner’s ready!”
Minato Namikaze interrupted the conversation, announcing, “Try my Fire Release: Charred Perfection Supreme Style!”
“You keep coming up with these weird names no one understands.”
Kushina Uzumaki rolled her eyes as she took a grilled fish from him.
“I couldn’t help myself...
"First place, Hanekawa."
Eichiro couldn't help but praise, "Hanekawa's progress since enrollment has been evident to all. Everyone should learn from him."
Kakashi instinctively clenched his fist.
Though it was just a trivial physical training exercise, he couldn't help feeling a bit dissatisfied.
After all, he'd a...
