"Quick reflexes!" A cold, disdainful voice came from the man in the black robe.
"Who are you?" Mito, upon catching sight of those Sharingan eyes with three tomoe, immediately lowered her gaze, furrowed her brows, and asked in a deep voice while quickly thinking of a countermeasure.
Even after so many years of retirement, some things ...
2025-09-22 23:10:21 +0000 UTC View PostShin and ÅŒnoki talked for three whole hours, having an initial discussion on specific cooperation projects and methods.
During the conversation, ÅŒnoki also revealed a tiny bit of intelligence from secret talks among the major ninja villages to Shin.
But all of it was either useless or outdated information. His real purpose was bait...

Even though the construction process had seemed almost playful, like watching a kid stack toy blocks. When he tested one of the walls, throwing his most powerful punch, it didn't even leave a scratch.
But that wasn't the stranges...
2025-09-22 23:05:08 +0000 UTC View PostMarcus ended up making a Minecraft-style cherry blossom tree anyway.
Compared to the naturally branching cherry blossoms around the castle, his square, rigid Minecraft version looked like a blocky abomination.
"Yeah, it looks terrible," he said, scratching his head as he stared at the tree.
The contrast was painfully obvious. W...

He'd only been doing this for what, four or five hours? That wasn't even a long farming session by Minecraft standards.
So... what the hell was going on?
He scratched his head. Had the sys...

Above them, there was no sun or moon. The distant horizon was nothing but hazy gray stretching into infinity. The silence was so complete it felt strange.
For some reason, she felt a chill of pure dread.
In this vast void, there was literally nothing. If someo...

In Rivendell, upon hearing of Garrett's arrival, Elrond personally came out to greet him.
"Just the right time? How so?"
Garrett handed his horse over to the stablehand, reminding him once again to simply leave the horse in the stall without worrying about it too much, before joinin...
2025-09-22 23:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostSaruman's greed ultimately brought calamity upon himself. And it was the painful kind of calamity.
However, Garrett was not the brigand Saruman had shouted about. Friendly sparring was one thing, but he still left behind what Saruman wanted.
At most, this could be called a "reasonable forced trade."
In truth, if it had come to ...
2025-09-22 22:59:30 +0000 UTC View Post"Arduous?"
Garrett didn't quite agree with that characterization.
Saruman's act of seeking out Isildur's corpse was nothing more than pure ill intent.
From the moment news spread of Isildur's death and the loss of the One Ring, what Saruman had in mind was claiming the Ring for himself, not destroying it once found.

This made future construction much more convenient.
However, so far, he was the only one in the entire territory capable of building such a flagship. Others were still learning, and for now no one else had reached that level ...

Many Iwa ninjas fixed their killing intent upon Shiratori.
There is no mercy on the battlefield. Mercy toward the enemy is cruelty toward oneself. And ninjas have no need for something like mercy. If blame must be laid, then blame this brat's ill fate.

Nanami and Minato quickly entered the room, and their figures vanished from sight.
Shiratori watched their backs, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He and Nagato had already checked the houses ...

Looking at the three ninjas drawing closer to them, Nagato clenched his fists tightly. The Rinnegan, hidden behind his long red hair, locked onto the three approaching ninjas. He could clearly feel that these three were indeed coming for them.
One of the ninjas was even badly injured.
He and Shiratori m...

Every household's doors were tightly shut, everyone immersed in sweet dreams.
A lone figure walked along the streets of Aomine, stepping through ...

A stack of 64 gold ingots disappeared quickly into the piglin trading pit.

The crowd had demanded it, and honestly, Marcus couldn't argue with their reasoning. Years of medical tyranny, letting people die from treatable conditions while hoarding doctors like personal property, some crimes were just too big to forgive.
But what caught him off gua...

Wapol remained unconscious, slumped against one wall, while his brother Musshuru sat in silence, occasionally shooting glares at his captors.
Dalton fidgeted in h...

He looked down at the cotton coat Kureha had given him earlier, completely useless. The wind cut right through it like it wasn't even there.
Pulling out a torch from his inventory, he held it in his hand. The temperature around him immediately rose several degrees....
