On this stretch of brown earth, Garrett planted an oak tree and urged it to grow.

The Brown Lands were so named because nothing could live upon them. All vitality here had been severed at the root, not even the most resilient weeds of Middle-earth could survive.

For thousands of years, not a single tree nor any other plant had grown ...

A few days later, in Edoras, Ecthelion spoke solemnly, "The river environment is also part of the survey. Now I'm certain that this river leads straight to Edoras, and its defenses are indeed quite important."

Denethor hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

At this moment, the three of them were each rowing a rect...

Yahiko pressed his lips together tightly, and spoke slowly, "If what you said is true, Hanzō's goal is to seize Taki's tailed beast... then if he really succeeds..."

"The other great nations will inevitably launch war against Ame once again!" Konan picked up where Yahiko left off.

Jiraiya shook off the look of nostalgia that had sur...

"Hextech, the core principle lies in mastering magical energy through technological innovation. With Jayce's particular genius, he's managed to create prototype war machines that are... unprecedented."

"This mechanical dragon should represent his greatest achievement in applied Hextech over the past several years."

Compared to the fu...

Shiratori answered Aoki's question with action.

How was he going to bring the wounded ninja over to his side?

For him, there were many possible methods.

The first way: he could have the crows carry the injured ninja.

But he did not intend to use that method. If he did, first, it would definitely worsen the ninja's injurie...

"Since that is the case, let Councilor Talis take on this important duty, entrusting the defense of Piltover to him is most fitting."

Ambessa smoothly pivoted her recommendation, putting forward Jayce as the candidate instead of her original choice.

She had initially intended to nominate Caitlyn for the position, but Jayce's display ...

HSU: Ch. 329

For Nagato, "God" was his faith. Only in this way could all the sacrifices have meaning.

So when Madara said that the Rinnegan belonged to him, Nagato lost his composure. His reason told him that the real Madara would never stoop to such a crude lie.

But emotionally, he could not accept it, he had to deny it. His forehead was bruised...

GSiN: Ch. 180

A few days earlier, somewhere in the Land of Rice Fields.

Jiraiya was quietly making his way through this small, obscure country, accompanied by Konan and Yahiko.

Their goal was clear, find Nagato.

Ever since the war had completely ended, he had taken the initiative to temporarily leave Konoha to search for information about Na...

"Garrett!"

Outside the golden great hall, Thengel called out loudly and strode toward that familiar figure.

"It's been a long time. You still look as well as ever."

"You too..."

Garrett wanted to exchange pleasantries, but when he saw Thengel's haggard face, the rest of the words stuck in his throat.

"You seem rathe...

In the year 2958, a construction team set out from Crossroads Town toward the ruins of the old capital of the Kingdom of Rhovanion, near East Bight, where they began repairing buildings and establishing watchposts.

This activity immediately caught the attention of the Woodland Realm.

It was simply impossible not to notice.

The ...

After the Legion's individual skills tournament concluded, the rangers were given their own coat of arms, for the sake of distinction.

Its base was the green of grasslands, upon which was painted a sharp blade, the standard steel sword issued to rangers and soldiers alike.

Once the emblem was decided, banners were produced as well, a...

"Wooo!!!"

The following year, at Wayfort, a huge crowd gathered around the arena hastily built beside the military camp, cheering wildly at the figures dueling atop it.

At the highest vantage point, Garrett sat in the best seat, watching the fierce clash on stage.

The first Wayfort Legion Individual Tournament had begun.

Old friends passed away one after another, like leaves falling in the wind.

In the year 2955, Wade finally couldn't hold on anymore. He was eighty years old this year, already considered a long life for an ordinary human.

In his final moments, Garrett sat at his bedside, keeping him company with conversation.

They talked about ...

"You can rest assured, if he really wanted me dead, he could just summon away the Gedo Statue. That would be enough," Madara explained calmly. "So, he doesn't actually want me dead."

"Since he only wants to meet me, I might as well go along with it, and see what tricks he's planning."

"Besides, don't you want to know how he learned a...

IUTT: Ch. 260

For these reasons, Madara had always been screening candidates from among the descendants of the Uchiha clan, grooming them to become his pawns.

When the time came, he would entrust everything to this person.

Then, under Black Zetsu's guidance, after completing the plan to collect the tailed beasts, this person would resurrect Madara...

IUTT: Ch. 259

Kumo's concession relieved the other ninja villages, but at the same time, they couldn't help feeling disappointed.

The major ninja villages had been hoping that Kumo would test the current strength of Konoha.

But the negotiations between the two sides wrapped up far too quickly, leaving no opportunity to secretly stir up war.

At the edge of the forest, blinding flashes of light burst forth from time to time. The muffled explosions drew closer and closer. Each blast made the ground beneath their feet tremble ever so slightly.

The stench of gunpowder and smoke grew stronger and more suffocating.

Shiratori, Nagato, and Aoki had already left behind the quiet ...

Midnight.

The sky was as black as if an ink bottle had been overturned. The small town in the Land of Grass was shrouded in night.

All was silent.

Occasionally, a faint chirping of insects drifted from the distant forest.

Inside a shabby little inn of the town, three figures were fast asleep on the soft tatami mats that s...

Mario sat in the passenger seat, staring at the bright Cybertek logo in the distance. The building looked like every other glass-and-steel monument to capitalism in Manhattan, except this one was crawling with Hydra operatives pretending to be legitimate businessmen.

"Woody, circle the block a few times," Mario said to the driver. "I'll ca...

Beneath Rain Dinners, in a conference room most guests would never know existed, Mr. 1 through Mr. 4 had all gathered, along with their respective partners. Each officer agent sat at the long table, their expressions ranging from suspicious to outright hostile.

Robin presided over the meeting from the head of the table. But compared t...

When Marcus came back down from his construction project, Koza rushed forward immediately, pointing at the hollow pyramid floating in the sky above them.

"Are you... are you sure that thing won't come crashing down on us?"

Seeing how nervous the rebel leader looked, Marcus couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. Instead of explai...

OP: AMP Ch. 98

A single spark had been lit, and now it was spreading. Nothing could stop it.

The future belongs to equality, the future belongs to the people...

Marcus had heard similar words echoing through history before, back in his old world. Revolutionary slogans that had toppled empires and changed the course of nations.

To the people o...

OP: AMP Ch. 97

When Koza led Vivi up to the platform in front of the massive rebel camp, the entire crowd fell silent.

What happened next pushed their emotions to the peak.

Koza grabbed a megaphone Den Den Mushi and began addressing the rebels.

"Listen up, everyone! Princess Vivi has been standing with us, the rebel army, from the very beginn...

OP: AMP Ch. 96

"So you're saying everything the rebel army has seen is fake?" Koza's face had gone ashen.

The fact that Mr. 10's partner was stationed at the water bar made everything so much worse. The bar served as their primary intelligence hub.

His mind raced back through countless memories. Most of their intel had come through the water bar, e...

Blade stood in the middle of the workshop looking like someone had just told him his favorite weapon had been discontinued.

"I'm heading out of town."

That caught Mario off guard. He looked up from where he'd been examining the workshop's electrical systems. "What? Why? Something happen?"

"Most of the bloodsuckers in New York h...

Two hours later, after hearing his secretary report that Minato hadn't asked any more questions but instead had set up a grill and started barbecuing at the entrance of Kumo, the Third Raikage unexpectedly didn't get angry, he merely gave a helpless smile.

It seemed he had truly underestimated this young man.

In his plan, Minato woul...

IUTT: Ch. 257

The Third Raikage immediately and secretly informed all the villages that this was Konoha's scheme, meant to divide them and defeat them one by one, and that they must not fall for it.

His analysis was well-reasoned, and the other Kage inwardly agreed with him.

[But so what? We're not the ones who'll suffer first anyway. This is the ...

IUTT: Ch. 256

In the pitch-black darkness, with no support from their teammates, the five men's hearts fell into complete chaos. What terrified them most was when a sharp, miserable scream suddenly shattered the silence.

Soon after came a second scream, then a third, until the place was plunged into complete stillness.

When the lights came back on...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 139

The rain pattered softly on the newly tiled roofs of Ame, trickling down the eaves and gathering into thin streams along the stone drains.

Hanzō stood atop the iron tower, gazing down at the village below his feet. This was the first time in months he had found a moment to quietly observe the village in its entirety.

The rain soon s...

A sharp, searing pain suddenly struck. The Third Kazekage's body plummeted from midair. He landed in a disheveled half-kneeling position, gritting his teeth to support himself.

The agony tearing through his body made his vision spin.

He shook his head slightly, struggling to stay conscious. His body grew unbearably heavy. Even raisin...
