Although Orochimaru was powerful, he couldn't recklessly storm an enemy village.
An enemy's base camp was filled with secret passages, hidden traps, and most critically, sealing techniques.
While Orochimaru feared no shinobi, seals and barriers were an entirely different matter.
...
The conflicts between the five great Villages had always been cyclical, either one struck first, or the other retaliated.
But Orochimaru's unexpected strength had forced a temporary alliance between them.
Konoha, unwilling to risk fighting three major villages at once, chose to sacr...
Gao Shen was genuinely looking forward to this match against Mourinho.
Since taking charge of Real Madrid more than two years ago, competing with the world's top coaches had been the most exhilarating and fulfilling part of his journey. It gave him a deep sense of accomplishment.
As...
"Zinedine, what do you think?"
After reviewing Inter Milan's starting lineup, Gao Shen turned to Zidane and asked for his opinion.
Zidane thought for a moment before shaking his head. "It's hard to say. It looks like it could be a 4-3-3, but it also resembles a 4-4-2. Zanetti playin...
["This situation was already problematic from the start."]
[Sisigou asked, "That little girl's Mystic Code… what exactly is it?"]
[El-Melloi II replied curtly, "Is this something I absolutely must explain?"]
["The Black Dog clearly fears her Mystic Code. That could be an im...
["Who are you?"]
[Gray looked at the approaching figure warily.]
["Heh..."]
[Sisigou grinned, then swiftly fired his gun, eliminating several approaching wraiths.]
["These undead are the tomb's guardians. It seems they mistook you ladies for grave robbers."]
[Si...
But this was a good thing, Kaminari thought with a smile in his heart. He then began to attempt using his mental energy to control the electromagnetic force surrounding his body and direct it downward.
Sure enough, under the influence of the electromagnetic force, the iron particles in the...
Kaminari, despite finding Edgeshot's attitude puzzling at times, didn't press for answers. Instead, he quietly cleaned the dishes and then climbed back onto the bamboo pole for another round of meditation.
Taking a deep breath, he began to regulate his breathing with the practiced precisio...
After receiving Claudius's promise, Fisher Tiger accepted his offer. He agreed to work for Claudius, help restore order to Fish-Man Street, and assist in his plans. In essence, he would act as a "labor leader," or more commonly, a contractor.
Following this, Fisher Tiger was escorted by Ny...
Fisher Tiger remained silent, listening intently as Claudius spoke.
"Your hatred can't change the past, and perhaps it can't change the future either. But I can," Claudius said with a calm smile. "So, Fisher Tiger, would you be willing to help me?"
Fisher Tiger was quiet for a long ...
Ryuji lay back, a look of contentment on his face. Beside him, Maki was too exhausted to move, her breathing soft and even.
His thoughts drifted back to the curse-binding vow he got from Sukuna.
"Outrageous!"
This was Ryuji's immediate thought as he evaluated the curse-bindin...
"I'll get you some water," Maki said, her tone slightly flustered. She moved toward the kitchen but stopped abruptly when Ryuji gently grabbed her wrist.
Startled, she turned to face him, her heart racing.
"Let's skip the formalities," Ryuji said, his voice low and steady. "We don't...

Seeing Tsunade raising her fist, Orochimaru didn't even bother to acknowledge her threat.
Tsunade was indeed strong, but her strength primarily lay in her medical abilities.
When it came to com...

Seeing Orochimaru's kunai stabbing into his father's back, A let out a furious roar.
His father, the Third Raikage, was known as the strongest shield and the strongest spear, a man who had once fought the...
Wood Release clones—a superior technique compared to ordinary Shadow Clones.
Not only were these clones far more durable and stable, but they were also harder to see through.
Because Wood Release carried an immense amount of life force, these clones could use bloodline limit techn...
A had always been known for his bad temper, and even after seeing Orochimaru's Susanoo, the thought of retreating never crossed his mind.
In his eyes, with his speed and strength, not even the Susanoo should pose a challenge.
As for Orochimaru's Flying Thunder God? Once he understoo...
"Is he showing weakness?"
When Mourinho received news from Naples, he was puzzled.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like Gao Shen was lacking confidence. But at the same time, Gao Shen didn't strike him as someone who would show weakness before a game.
"I honestly thi...
"Boss, I think I can do it!"
The next morning, when Benatia arrived at the training center, the first thing he did was head straight to Gao Shen's office. Standing in front of him with determination, he gave his final answer after a night of deep thought.
He wanted to try.
Ga...
Iskandar: "Ah, you're really persistent."
Waver: "You're the one who cares too much. Don't forget who I'm doing this for."
Iskandar: "Hahaha, well said. You are truly worthy of being my retainer."
Kayneth: "Bazett and Atram?"
Two future participants of the Fifth Holy G...
Tohsaka Rin: "Pfft, Astolfo-chan, you're so cute."
Astolfo: "Really? Hehehe."
Waver: "This lie will be exposed immediately. The man is on your back."
["Yes!"]
[The two magicians actually believed it and walked away.]
[Astolfo waved his hand and said: "You guys s...
The camp was quiet, save for the hum of Kaminari's electricity and the sharp thud of shurikens hitting wooden stakes. Occasionally, the cool breeze rolling down from Mount Fuji would rustle through the area, carrying with it a peaceful stillness.
As the sky darkened and the moon illuminate...
Thinking about his newfound "radar" ability, Kaminari couldn't help but recall the technique used by Enel, the Thunder God from One Piece.
That technique, which combined radio waves and Observation Haki, allowed Enel to detect movements and even eavesdrop over vast distances.
"Seems...
"Hahahaha! So that's how you people see me?" Claudius laughed, his voice hearty and unbothered. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised, but evil dog? I suppose it fits in its own way."
Fisher Tiger watched Claudius, his sharp eyes flashing with curiosity. This man truly was unlike any other. Fis...
Inside Claudius's palace, he sat in his study, a calm and refined atmosphere enveloping the room. Two teacups were placed on the table, and an expensive incense burned steadily, its soothing fragrance aiding concentration and tranquility.
In his hand, Claudius held a book he had brought ba...
""Let's drop Kugisaki off first," Ryuji said.
His words made Maki and Nobara exchange glances.
They were both sharp enough to understand what this implied.
"I..."
Nobara was about to protest. Why should she give up such a good opportunity?
But Maki's gaze stoppe...
Although Yuji could suppress Sukuna's consciousness most of the time, there wasn't much he could do if Sukuna decided to speak up.
Yuji was helpless in such situations.
"It's nothing," Ryuji said with a small wave of his hand, dismissing the matter entirely.
"Now that everyth...
Why were all the Kumo ninjas tasked with ambushing Orochimaru in the valley this time?
It was because the other two villages had already cooperated in an earlier operation, and Kumo had only recently reached an agreement to align with them.
To demonstrate their sincerity in this all...
The Flying Thunder God Technique, a move once used by the Second Hokage to kill Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna.
Back then, the technique was still in its infancy. It lacked speed and fluidity, the movements far from seamless.
But now...
"So fast!"
"Mehdi!"
Just as Benatia was about to head toward the locker room, he heard Gao Shen's voice calling out to him from the doorway of the coach's office.
Turning to see Gao Shen waving him over, Benatia immediately jogged toward him.
"Boss," he greeted respectfully.

Inter Milan, Pinetina Training Base.
In the coaches' meeting room, Jose Mourinho sat at the head of the table, flanked by his trusted assistants Villas-Boas, Faria, and goalkeeping coach Sylvinho, alongside Inter Milan's assistant coach Giuseppe Baresi.
