The room Jiraiya used as a temporary office was quite spacious. As night fell, he lit a lamp. The light barely illuminated the room, and a cold wind suddenly blew in through a crack in the wall, making the papers on the desk rustle noisily.
Jiraiya glared at the wall with dissatisfaction, pressed down on the corners of the paper with his h...

From a distance, the Two-Tails jinchūriki looked nothing short of miserable.
Countless water snakes bound her, which restrained her fully transformed tailed beast state.
Around her, massive icy hands emerged from the ground, gripping her legs and holding them firmly in place. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free...

The massive black-scaled snake instantly drew everyone's attention as it appeared on the battlefield.
"Orochimaru?" This was the Fourth Raikage's first reaction. Several Kumo jonin near him tensed.
"Those scales are different..." one of his commanders muttered, but the Raikage had already dismissed the thought.

In the small alley bathed in the sun, many vendors were already preparing to pack up, while I was getting ready to enter the alley to buy something to eat.

As the Konoha ninja army adjusted its strategy, with the main force standing by and shifting focus to annihilating enemy squads in field battles, the jonin, including Masashi, were given some rest.

Several jonin had gathered at one of the rest areas, discus...

Compared to the rich historical accounts of other books and the famed Necronomicon, the Book of Azathoth was not well known.
This was because, strictly speaking, the Book of Azathoth was not really a book, and even putting quotation marks around its name to call it such was incorrect.
The Book of Azathoth represents Azathoth's will, ...

The powerful torrent swept toward the two Deep Crawlers with immense force. However, the moment the water surged from Kakashi's mouth, the Deep Crawlers had already sensed its presence.

The speed of the fire dragon was astonishing, catching up to Killer B in an instant and diving down. The heat alone was enough to scorch the air, creating a vacuum that pulled debris in its path.
