Physical training was scheduled for the afternoon, but the morning class was Konoha History.
"Today's lesson is about the Third Hokage," said the teacher, Eichiro, standing at the podium. "Please listen carefully. This is a key topic for the final exam and will definitely appear on the test."
Hanekawa casually propped up hi...
"Take a break."
Sakumo Hatake sheathed his sword and stepped back, speaking calmly.
Kakashi Hatake plopped onto the ground, utterly exhausted and panting heavily without any concern for his image.
Each sparring session felt like hell for him.
Though he was a genius among geniuses, he was up against the legendary K...
"Whose adorable little child is this?"
Tsunade asked with a faint smile, adding, "Yours, Nono?"
As for Hanekawa’s wandering gaze, she didn’t seem to mind.
He was just a child, after all—no reason to get upset.
If it had been Jiraiya, he would have already been on the receiving end of her punch.
"His n...
“Why are you happier than I am?” Hanekawa asked, looking at the bouncing and excited Yūhi Kurenai.
“Because you beat Asuma with genjutsu,” Kurenai replied, tilting her head and giving a reason. “Maybe I can do that someday too.”
“Then you’ll need to work hard,” Hanekawa said, recalling the storyline.
<...
The abruptly concluded battle left everyone both shocked and puzzled.
Hanekawa's genjutsu had only affected Sarutobi Asuma, and from the spectators' perspective, the fight seemed utterly bizarre.
Asuma had suddenly stopped moving, standing frozen in place.
Then Hanekawa simply walked up to him with a kunai and won ef...
The end of the school day arrived in no time.
Normally, as soon as the bell rang, the classroom would clear out in seconds. Today, however, a third of the students remained.
They had all stayed behind to watch the duel between Sarutobi Asuma and Hanekawa.
This match had piqued their curiosity.
After all, it wa...
Hanekawa watched Kurenai Yuhi practicing genjutsu, but her attention was focused on the system in front of her.
Three genjutsu entries had been collected, making it possible to synthesize a new entry.
[D-Rank Talent Entry: Genjutsu Genin]
[Trigger Condition: Possess three genjutsu entries.]
[Effect: Increases ...
“Genjutsu, simply put, are techniques that use chakra to disrupt the enemy's five senses, thus trapping them in an illusion,” Yūhi Shinku began explaining with a serious tone.
The five senses refer to sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
In illusion techniques, sight is predominantly used.
The most iconic visual...
“Director, are you heading out?”
Hanekawa had just arrived at the orphanage when he saw Nono Yakushi hurrying toward the exit.
“Hanekawa?”
Nono paused, slightly surprised, and asked, “Why are you here? Is there something you need?”
“Nothing in particular. It’s Sunday, so I thought I’d visit t...
Hanekawa sprinted through the streets of Konoha, the wind brushing against his face.
As a spy, the most crucial quality is caution.
His plan was simple: run until he reached the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore, then pretend to rest inside as if he were tired from jogging.
Even if someone found his behavior suspicious, he ...
Hokage's Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at the crystal ball in front of him, almost like a witch peering into the future.
The translucent crystal ball shimmered, revealing a scene from Class 1-A.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had two sons.
His elder son had already joined the Anbu and become an outstanding ninja.
Bu...
Beep, beep, beep.
The nerve-wracking sound pierced Hanekawa's mind.
Reaching out a hand, he broke free from the confines of his blanket and turned off the alarm clock.
The technology in the ninja world was oddly advanced—computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, and, of course, alarm clocks.
He glanced at ...
The morning theory class ended, and it was time for the ninja tool throwing class, which Hanekawa had been looking forward to.
Under Eichiro's guidance, the group arrived at the training grounds.
The ninja tool throwing class was divided into two sessions.
The first session involved Eichiro explaining the key points....
"My name is Hanekawa. I don’t have many hobbies, but as for my dream, I hope to become a ninja like Lord Hokage."
In truth, Hanekawa’s real dream was simply to survive, but that sounded too out of place.
So, he voiced the standard dream of any ninja academy student—to become Hokage.
It was no different from kid...
“Kurenai, what’s going on here?”
Panic—utter panic. Sarutobi Asuma anxiously demanded an explanation.
Kurenai blinked in confusion, unable to understand why he was reacting so strongly.
The two hadn’t known each other for very long, and being young and naive, she only saw him as a friend.
She was com...
Behind the house, in a small forest.
“As a ninja, the most commonly used tools are shuriken and kunai…”
Kurenai Yuhi imitated her class teacher, speaking in a lecturing tone while swaying her head for emphasis.
Shuriken, commonly referred to as throwing stars, are small projectile weapons.
Kunai, resembl...
“Is this really your first time refining chakra?”
As Hanekawa finished his training, Kurenai Yuhi couldn’t help but lean closer.
“Yes, it’s my first time,” Hanekawa replied, blinking his eyes.
“Ugh! So frustrating!”
Kurenai clenched her small fists and said indignantly, “But don’t think it’ll...
Hanekawa soon met Yuhi Shinku.
He sat stiffly on the sofa in the living room, dressed in a black bodysuit and a green Jonin vest, exuding an air of seriousness.
Hanekawa recalled that Shinku had tragically perished during the Nine-Tails' rampage.
"Sit," Shinku said with a slight nod.
"Thank you, Uncle Shinku,"...
"Hiruzen, hand over Hanekawa to me!"
Shimura Danzo spoke sternly, getting straight to the point. "He’s too dangerous! He might even be a spy from the Hidden Cloud Village!"
"He’s not," Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, tapping his pipe.
"Don’t forget the incident where Kushina was kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud!"
From the carriage emerged a robust figure exuding arrogance and nobility.
With a square face carrying anticipation and pride, golden hair cascading wildly, and dressed in white silk robes, Davis instructed his subordinates to wait nearby.
Wearing a bright smile, he strode confidently toward the pink-colored building.
As Zhu Zhuyun stepped into the room and hadn’t even settled in, two golden streams of light shot out from the Life Ring lying in the corner.
The two streams twisted in midair before landing on the ground, transforming into two upright figures.
Qian Renxue leaned into Qian Renjue’s embrace, with his hand supporting her s...
Under Zhu Zhuyun's watchful gaze, Qian Renjue turned into a streak of light and was absorbed by the ring.
Qian Renxue, with a faint smile on her face, glanced at Zhu Zhuyun before stepping forward. She placed the Life Ring on the table and turned back, her gaze sharp and domineering, as though looking down from above.
Her d...
Not long after, in just a few exchanges of words, the Ice Emperor and Ah Yin roughly explained their relationship with Qian Renjue to Zhu Zhuqing.
"A special method of sacrifice?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with amazement.
With Qian Renjue's teachings, she naturally understood how rare it was for a soul beast to ...
"Haha, it’s strange, isn’t it?"
Qian Renjue looked at Zhu Zhuqing’s bewildered expression and couldn’t resist pinching her cheek as he smiled.
"Ask Ah Yin later; she’ll explain it to you."
"Mm-hmm."
Blushing, Zhu Zhuqing nodded. She wanted to lift her small hands to hug Qian Renjue, but her face showed a...
Qian Renjue’s words made Zhu Zhuyun tremble as she clutched her body, her heart filled with unease.
She never wanted to endure that kind of pain again!
She nodded repeatedly.
“I’ll do it properly. I won’t play any tricks.”
“Good.”
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
His violet eyes seemed to p...
"Get back inside!"
The barely opened bathroom door slammed shut again under Qian Renxue's mental power, hitting Zhu Zhuyun squarely on the forehead.
"Ah—!"
Zhu Zhuyun let out a startled scream, her ears ringing with Qian Renxue's icy voice.
"I told you to come out only after you were dressed. Can't you hear me?!...
Hearing Qian Renjue's question, Zhu Zhuyun stared at him with unwavering eyes filled with humiliation.
Clenching her teeth tightly, her breathing was rapid, and her bath towel shifted as her chest heaved, threatening to reveal more.
Through her indignation, she asked bitterly,
“What exactly are you trying to do?!”
Qian Renjue held onto the delicate hand resting on his waist and led Qian Renxue directly through the door.
As soon as they stepped inside, he withdrew the Evil God's Heart
A faint and elegant fragrance wafted through the air.
“Hmm?”
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, her gaze landing on the bed in the corne...
Star Luo Empire.
After returning from the extreme north, Qian Renjue reached out to Zhu Zhuqing, who was in the middle of her cultivation.
The skill of the Evil God's Hook had already been used for the day, so he could only traverse through the Teaching Jade Token to establish contact with his disciple.
It was still ...
"Sister, has Mom gone to the Pope's Hall?"
Qian Renjue brought the Ice Emperor to the table, sat down, and asked softly.
"Yes, she left not long ago," Qian Renxue replied, putting down her cup of tea.
She raised her delicate hand to tidy the messy strands of Qian Renjue’s hair.
"Later, come with me to visit ...
