Night had fallen.
After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Hanekawa returned home.
Following an afternoon of training, he had successfully grasped the basics of the Body Flicker Technique.
[D-Rank Ninjutsu Trait: Body Flicker ...
In the dark, sealed space, Uzumaki Kushina used her chakra to write words midair.
Not far away, inside a large cage, two enormous eyes stared unblinkingly.
At first, the Nine-Tails didn’t want to look.
You can’t ju...
“Rin, don’t laugh—this time it’s true!”
As Hanekawa stepped into the classroom, he heard Obito Uchiha’s voice.
“What’s true?”
Kakashi Hatake walked up casually, asking as if uninterested.
Thank...
Morning.
Hanekawa stood outside with his eyes closed.
After a moment, his body trembled slightly, and lightning danced across him.
He kept it up until he could no longer sustain it, then released his chakra.
Han...
Room 77, Konoha Hospital.
A tense and critical surgery was underway.
The patient on the operating table was Hyūga Hizashi, the younger brother of Hyūga Hiashi, the clan head. In the future, Hizashi would have a son named Hy...
"What did you wish for?" Tsunade asked casually as she sliced the cake.
"Can you say birthday wishes out loud?" Hanekawa blinked, then asked, "Won’t it stop working if I say it?"
"Why wouldn’t you be able to say it?" Tsun...
"Hanekawa!"
Kurenai Yuhi asked in surprise, "Why are you back so early today?"
"I'm here to train with you."
Hanekawa patted her head and said.
"Then let's go!"
Kurenai happily grabbed his hand and starte...
Dusk fell.
Hanekawa stopped his training and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After having lunch at Uzumaki Kushina's place, he returned home with Tsunade and spent the entire afternoon training.
Taking a deep breath...
Hanekawa naturally wouldn't rush forward to court death.
With his small frame, he wasn’t even enough to fill the Nine-Tails' teeth gap.
However, judging from Uzumaki Kushina’s situation, she hadn’t fully transformed int...
Time flew by.
Two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the scorching sun, Heaven Dou City was bustling with life. In the city’s tallest teahouse, a spacious and well-ventilated spot offered a panoramic view...
Qian Renjue stared at Bibi Dong before him, his expression a mix of confusion and disbelief.
“Mom, what are you doing?!”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Bibi Dong tilted her head with a charming smile, alternately rollin...
"Yes~ Mom just can't fall asleep," Bibi Dong responded to Qian Renjue's question, sitting cross-legged on the bed with a wistful expression.
She leaned forward slightly, resting her elbow on her knee and propping her face on her han...
"Heh, that's right," Zhu Zhuyun sneered.
"You're absolutely correct. So what if I've conspired with them?!"
"Don't think I don't know."
Her head hung low, delicate fists tightly clenched. The emotions she had suppr...
Inside the room.
Dai Weisi had finally quieted down.
His hair was disheveled, his body still trembling, drenched in cold sweat.
The room was silent except for Dai Weisi's heavy breathing.
Qian Renjue rested his ...
“Hmm~ so this is the taste of peace?”
In the early morning, a beam of piercing sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, landing squarely on a handsome, slumbering face. Uchiha Gin, who had just engaged in an intense bat...
“Izuna, eat slower—nobody’s competing with you~”
Madara Uchiha looked at his younger brother, who was wolfing down his food, with a pained expression. The once-vibrant, jet-black hair that used to stand high now clung lifelessly...
“Boom!~”
In the training ground, two figures were sparring at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The shockwaves from their clashes stirred up clouds of dust, forcing the spectators nearby to shield their faces.
When Hyūga Sōusuke placed his large hand on the acupuncture point of Uchiha Gin's chest, a trace of confusion appeared in his pale eyes.
Logically, any competent ninja would instinctively avoid or resist when someone closed in un...
Hanekawa removed his clothes and sat in the bathtub.
Warmth enveloped him, and aside from that, nothing unusual happened.
Hanekawa let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He had imagined the medicinal bath would be like those ...
The four left the Konoha Memorial Stone.
Along the way, Jiraiya and Orochimaru continued bickering, to the point where the atmosphere itself seemed worn down by their squabble.
Hanekawa noticed that their dynamic was strikingly s...
So childish.
Hanekawa sighed helplessly.
But as he subconsciously looked up, he found that he couldn’t see Tsunade’s face.
The swaying shadow of her figure loomed over him.
“Got it now?”
Tsunade s...
"Today's class ends here. Don't forget to do your homework after you get home."
Echiro picked up his textbook and turned to leave.
"Ah! School's over!"
"Yay!"
"Let's go play games!"
The classroom instantly er...
After leaving the Hokage's office, Sakumo Hatake let out a sigh.
Scolded again.
He walked silently down the street, lost in thought.
What’s the most important thing for a ninja?
According to the ninja code, it’s...
In the clearing outside Tsunade’s house, Hanekawa leapt into the air, performing a perfect high jump.
Sarutobi Asuma watched, puzzled.
Does this kind of training really help?
“Why aren’t you training?” Hanekawa...
Today was the registration day—no classes, just an opening ceremony.
Once again, Hanekawa saw the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Compared to the graduation ceremony, Hiruzen was even more long-winded this time, talking for...
"What a lively scene."
Nohara Rin glanced around and sighed in amazement.
The road was packed with students heading to the ninja academy, both returning upperclassmen and new freshmen.
"We’re second years now. When the f...
“Rin! I’m here!”
Uchiha Obito excitedly dashed to the door of Nohara Rin’s house.
Today was the first day of the new semester, marking the start of their second year.
He had woken up extra early, all to ensure ...
Danger!
Hanekawa immediately declared his loyalty: “There’s only one teacher in my heart.”
Tsunade’s killing intent vanished instantly.
Arms crossed, she thought to herself, This little brat knows how to behave...
Hanekawa arrived at Tsunade’s house but didn’t knock right away. Instead, he pulled out the scroll Tsuchibashi had given him.
Lightning Release: Chakra Activation—it sounded simple, but execution was far more complicated.

“Watch closely,” Tsunade said as she formed seals at a deliberate pace.
Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram!
Summoning Technique!
After completing the seals, Tsunade pressed her palm onto the ground.
