Kenji's eyes locked onto the Third Kazekage hovering in midair.
His Transparent Release puppet was already in position. It had taken careful maneuvering to get it there without detection.
He knew he only had one shot at this.
The moment the puppet attacked, it would be exposed. And once exposed, the iron sand would tear it apar...

Just like Fūza had predicted, it didn't take long for Suna ninjas to show up.
A squad of them came charging, weapons drawn and chakra flaring as they made a push to reclaim their jinchūriki. Kenji tensed, hand already moving toward his kunai pouch, but before he could engage, reinforcements arrived.
Konoha support troops hit the Su...

They were almost at the mayor's manor, yet none of the undercover players had spotted the Last Siren's whereabouts.

As Zoro channeled his energy into his blades, power surged back through the connection, flooding his body with strength.
The ghostly aura from Sandai Kitetsu intensified, mixing with the enchantments. But there was something else too... It was a strange sensation that seemed to tug at his emotions, pulling them in a darker direction.

In her office, Anna remotely piloted an armored suit toward the spacecraft. Compared to other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, she'd interacted with Natasha more frequently over the past few months, enough to recognize her on sight.
But something felt off.
In another office, Coulson watched the live feed showing both Natasha and Hawkeye. He pull...

While Garrett was delving deep into the underground caverns in search of Shelob, Gollum seized the chance to flee.

Swish!
The long sword swept through the air, then suddenly pointed backward.
"My lord, don't attack, it's me!"
A panicked voice came from behind.
Garrett frowned, carefully examining the sneaky orc who had been tailing him all along. He had to admit, this fellow was quite distinctive. One leg was crippled and rep...

"That's even better."
Seeing that Garrett had joined, Gandalf quickly voiced his approval. After all, this fellow had nothing better to do anyway. If he could be roped in as a helper, why not?
Once that was decided, Garrett asked, "Tell me about your intelligence. Be specific."
"It's in Ithilien, somewhere near the Crossroads,"...

Under Garrett's persuasion, Bain did not hesitate for long. Before much time had passed, he chose to step down from his position as Steward of Rhovanion and the Dale region, beginning a peaceful and leisurely retirement.
The one who succeeded him was Brand, who had already earned both achievements and prestige of his own.

While his Swift Release puppet collected the spoils from the dead puppet master, Kenji's mind drifted to something he'd been noticing lately.

The closer they got to the front lines, the thicker the smell became.

Marcus found himself trying to recall fragments of information about this so-called Master of the Sky. Something about the original Shandian rituals... hadn't they been about feeding these giant snakes?

The deck of the Going Merry fell silent. It was the kind of quiet that made you aware of every creak of the ship's wood.
