"Hm... It should be artillery shells."
Tanaka formed a hand seal with his left hand, veins bulging at the corners of his eyes.
As soon as he activated his Byakugan, the surrounding scenery rapidly retreated like a fast-forwarded slideshow, flickering continuously.
When his vision finally stabilized, a beach ravaged by artillery...

A massive warship, as imposing as a ferocious sea beast, could be seen over the eastern horizon of the ocean.
"Report."
"Rear Admiral Rosinante, we are approximately 15 kilometers away from Minion Island. There are currently no signs of anyone near the beach on the eastern side of the island."
The Marine lookout lowered his bin...

"I roughly understand the situation now."
I rested my chin on one hand, deep in thought.
Originally, I had planned to give the Rasengan to Minato, but it turned out that he had already figured it out on his own.
And I found it somewhat funny that he asked forgiveness for a technique that, in the origina...

Masashi left the Land of Iron.
He retraced his steps back, passing through the Land of Waterfalls and then entering the Land of Rain via the Land of Grass.
By the time he appeared in the Land of Stone, word had already spread everywhere.
It was unavoidable.
Excluding the Land of Iron and the Land of Waterfalls, both Kusa ...

Blisters and Bedrock was a small wooden house hidden within an abandoned mine beside Zaun's riverbed. It was where Vander and Silco's dream began, the birthplace of their shared vision.
Secluded enough, Silco and Vander, after reconciling, restored this place where their dream set sail, turning it into a secret stronghold.

The northwest part of the Great Oak Forest.
It was a colossal mountain range stretching thousands of miles.
Legend had it that this was the place where the God of Snow, Wolcen Wintrian, ascended to godhood, and thus it was named the Wolcen Mountains.
The long mountain range halted the northern expansion...

Seeing that Tsunade wasn't joking, Tanaka no longer hesitated and directly activated his Byakugan.
Following her instructions, he carefully controlled the intensity of his ocular power. He didn't look through her entire body—only through her clothing.
"Hm?"
In his Byakugan's vision, her clothes had indeed disappeared, but two...

The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened.
Tanaka did not ask why Tsunade was feeling down, nor did he question why she greeted him with a direct face attack.
Tsunade also didn't offer any explanation, nor did she apologize for her Cleansing Face Technique and her aggressive close-contact move on him....

"Lady Tsunade, you've come?"
Tanaka was known for his steadiness. Even when training at the Hyūga clan's residence, he still sent out a shadow clone, using his Byakugan to scan the surroundings from time to time.
Because of this, he noticed her arrival even before she reached the training ground.
Rather than being startled, he...

She had only just agreed to receive funding a...

There was no way.
He couldn't just tell Tsunade that Se...

It seems that my previous opinion of this child was somewhat biased. Hiruzen nodded with a smile.

Two sharp sword slashes streaked through the air like meteors, instantly appearing behind Shinnosuke and his shadow clone.
