Orochimaru was fully aware that if Konoha ever found itself in dire straits, Tsunade would inevitably think of him first.
This was something he could guarantee without any doubt.
Tsunade's trust in him made it inevitable that she would inform the Third Hokage about his existence. Or...
Faced with Orochimaru, the Third Hokage had a few options to choose from.
He could agree to all of Orochimaru's demands and comply with his terms without hesitation.
He could simply turn around and leave, asserting the dignity of a Hokage, one who doesn't bow to anyone or allow them...
Iskandar sighed dramatically. "Alas, why am I not in this picture?"
Gilgamesh smirked. "It just proves the gap between you and me."
"Tsk, that's really irritating," Iskandar muttered, crossing his arms.
The effect of the Royal Travelling Incognito that Gilga...

It wasn't just Marine, the World Government, or Claudius working tirelessly to develop their influence and recruit talents. Every major faction was doing the same. The Revolutionary Army was moving in silence, and of course, the pirates were constantly expanding their ranks.

Hearing Claudius's tone of surprise, Sengoku nodded helplessly and said, "As unbelievable as it sounds, there's truth to it. This is precisely why we don't categorize Kaido as simply a human being. We call him the 'strongest creature' because we still don't understand what's going on with his bod...

It was a simple question: Does Gao Shen really like coaching?
The answer, however, was equally simple: Yes.
But this wasn't the answer Zidane was after. What he truly wanted to ask was: Why...

News from the post-match press conference quickly reached Raul's ears and spread throughout the Real Madrid locker room.
In fact, within Real Madrid, whether at Valdebebas or the Bernabéu, few things re...
The game ended with a humiliating scoreline of 0-7, punctuated by warm applause from the Bernabeu faithful.
As per tradition, the home team's score was announced first. Real Madrid, once a team filled with unshakable confidence, had suffered an unprecedented and devastating defeat on their...
That's it.
Gao Shen stood calmly in front of the visiting team's coaching area, outwardly composed as though indifferent to the events unfolding on the pitch. But inside, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He couldn't help but feel like he had returned to the Bernabeu as a hero.

The Third Hokage's words might have been hard for the ANBU to hear, but they were undeniably true.
While the ANBU were charged with protecting the Hokage, there were limits to their capabilities.
And the opponent this time… was Orochimaru.
This was someone who could fend of...
Tsunade knew deep down that everything Orochimaru said was true.
She also knew that his current attitude was entirely within her expectations.
Still, as the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she felt an obligation to try.
"I know, Orochimaru, I know everything!" Tsunade said...
At Naval Headquarters, Marineford, the Prometheus had docked once again, bringing Claudius to witness a major transition in Marine's leadership. Marshal Kong had already departed for Mariejois to assume his new role, while Sengoku was set to officially become the new Marine Fleet Admiral.

At the illegal port of the Sabaody Archipelago, Claudius stood near the docks, speaking with Hancock. Gloriosa had already arrived, and upon reuniting with the three sisters, her face lit up with joy.

Tomie's usual enjoyment came from a twisted cycle:

Seeing those words, the Third Hokage couldn't stop the tears welling up in his eyes. His hand trembled as he held the message.
Let Orochimaru come back to help?
How could he not want to?
After all, with the strength Orochimaru displayed during the Land of Frost battle, there ...
