After attending two long meetings that lasted several hours, Shikaku already looked slightly fatigued. He gently placed the intelligence scrolls from the meetings onto the desk and tapped his temple with his knuckles.
"Iwa's proposal is very clear. They want to form an alliance with us to launch a joint crusade against Kumo, and split the ...

Hiruzen flipped through the files. Only two matters stood out as important.
First, a report from the intelligence division: The Raikage's corpse was of little value. His brain had been scorched and carbonized by lightning, no information could be extracted.
Second, the Kumo ninjas were still preparing for war, claiming revenge for th...

I looked around. At least within my visible range, everything was a sea of black.
I pulled out a handful of wooden slats from the ninja tool pouch tied to my waist and scattered them with a special technique.
These wooden slats were specially prepared for situations like this, where throwing Flying Thunder Go...

Unlike Fukuyama's carefree mood, Hiruzen was overwhelmed by the recent events. While he was feeling depressed, there was someone else in the same boat.
That person was A.
He had already found out that he was rejected by Tsunade. As a man, bringing an outrageously expensive betrothal gift and traveling a long distance to propose, only...

"Do you think my demands are unreasonable?" Fukuyama's tone was already filled with anger. "I merely asked him to issue a public order on behalf of the Konoha office, something like a public security regulation for Konoha. And to further define the responsibilities within the Police Force, assigning people with different abilities and personalit...

Countless black sealing jutsu patterns surged up from the waves of sand, slithering across the sea of sand like giant serpents. They sealed the grotesque tentacle monster entirely beneath the sand layer.

The results came out quickly.
The person who had confessed in public was only brought to the Police Force for questioning and was soon released, which made many people who had been worried breathe a sigh of relief. If that guy was fine, then they would probably be fine too.
However, because of the prior wave of public opinion, almost...

Fukuyama naturally guessed what Hiruzen was thinking, but he didn't care. Since he had placed his bet, he would not regret it.
This time, he was betting on Tsunade and Shin to win.
He was an extremely intelligent man, but even the smartest people have weaknesses, his was his body. Due to numerous old injuries from his youth and his h...

After handing over the Raikage's corpse to the Intelligence Division and reporting to the Hokage's office, Kakashi, Guy, and Yamato went out for a private dinner.

Sizzle.

Once again being scolded harshly by the Five Elders, Sengoku's face turned dark with rage. He really wanted to shout at Kizaru, who was lazily sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, calmly filing his nails.

Even in his sobbing, Charlos didn't forget to insult the Kizaru. "I'm telling my father on you! You won't be an Admiral anymore!"

Danzō held yesterday's newspaper, deep in thought. The headline read: "Kumo Invades Konoha! Will the Shinobi World Be Thrown into Chaos Again?"
The tide of war was already rising, and the world seemed headed for turmoil. That meant Hiruzen would likely have no choice but to reactivate Root.
He felt that perhaps soon, Hiruzen would a...
