When the Genius Class students arrived at the Academy’s training ground, they were met with an unexpected sight—
a crowd of white-coated medical ninjas standing in the middle of the field.
“Eh? Why are there so many medical ninja here?” Kiba asked, scratchi...

That night, Kakashi stayed behind at the command center, while Mori and Tenzo returned to their assigned quarters to rest and await further orders.
“Mori-senpai, what are you doing?”
Back inside the tent, Mori had unrolled a scroll and was busy with something that immediately caug...

After lunch, Kitazawa arrived at the Hokage Building.
He was about to step inside when he paused, glanced upward, and took a few steps back.
From his position, the window of the Hokage’s office was perfectly visible.
A small grin tugged at his lips.
With a light leap, Ki...

Everyone else had already left—except Fugaku.
“Fugaku, is there something else you need?” Tsunade noticed him lingering and asked directly.
“Can this jutsu for limb regeneration work on the Sharingan?” Fugaku asked without preamble.
“The Sharingan?”
Tsunade p...

Two days had passed since the ceremony.
Because Tsunade had already assumed office a week earlier, there wasn’t much visible change in Konoha before or after the event. The village continued its steady rhythm—calm on the surface, quietly shifting beneath.

Roshi slept more soundly that night than he had in weeks. When he finally woke the next morning, sunlight was already streaming through the paper windows—and he realized he was the last one up.
Itachi had clearly gone home and returned; his clothes were different now, and he was sitting a...

Between Iwagakure and Suna stretched a string of small nations—from east to west lay the Land of Rain, the Land of Birds, the Land of Stones, and finally, the Land of Silence.
Because of Hanzō’s fearsome reputation in the past, both Iwagakure and Sunagakure preferred to avoid battle on...

Kitazawa stepped forward and bowed slightly.
“Let’s go.”
Tsunade waited until he finished, then said quietly, “It’s about time. Let’s grab some lunch.”
“At home?” Kitazawa asked, glancing at her.
“No. I want to drink.”
Her tone left no room for ...

Kitazawa arrived at the Hokage’s Office right on time, nine in the morning.
“Lord Kitazawa.”
At the entrance stood Haru, bowing slightly. “Hokage-sama went to receive the Fire Daimyo and hasn’t returned yet.”
“Then I’ll wait for her,” Kitazawa said with a nod.<...

Tsunade sat in the Hokage’s chair, still feeling a strange sense of unreality.
She had never wanted this. Becoming Hokage had never been part of her plans—yet somehow, here she was.
Thinking back, it all started because of Kitazawa’s idea of “Psychological Medical Ninja.”

Kitazawa and Tsunade had already left the outskirts of Konoha, their silhouettes fading into the dense forest of the Land of Fire.
“Where do you think Danzo will try to ambush us?” Tsunade asked evenly.
“I doubt he’ll resort to an ambush.”
Kitazawa shook his head. “S...

Not wanting to continue the discussion about Konoha’s proposed reinforcements, Rasa decisively ended the meeting and asked Roshi to leave.
Even with the Kazekage’s verbal assurance to uphold the alliance, Team 5’s movements within Sunagakure remained tightly restricted.

Team 5 remained in the Hidden Sand Village for two days.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, finally returned from the Northern Fortress. He didn’t summon Team 5 right away—instead, he quietly listened to Ebizo’s detailed report on the negotiations.

This time, the resting quarters provided by Sunagakure were far more spacious.
Anko exhaled heavily, patting her chest as though calming her pounding heart. “That Suna Advisor’s presence was terrifying. How did you manage to stay so calm, Roshi? My legs were about to give out.”

The announcement of the Hokage selection process sent a wave of excitement through Konoha Village.
A new Hokage meant new leadership, new reforms—and new opportunities.
Few Hokage ever retained their predecessor’s full administration. Those with ambition or influence would soon fi...

This man was unmistakably a Suna ninja.
“Konoha Jōnin Roshi,” he introduced himself in a firm, clear voice. “By order of the Hokage, I’m here to deliver urgent classified intelligence to our ally—the Sunagakure.”
As his words faded, Roshi flicked his wrist and sent an env...

Kazemaki’s defiant roar echoed through the canyon.
They fought with courage—reckless, desperate courage.
But it was meaningless.
Moments later, silence returned.
Only corpses remained.
Sunagakure. Iwagakure.
The narrow valley reeked of iron and dust.

After classes ended, Kitazawa returned home.

Kurenai glanced up from the sofa, one eyebrow slightly raised. “Did you have a meeting all day?”
“No, I stopped by the Academy this afternoon,” Kitazawa replied, settling beside her.

The Iwa Jonin’s facial muscles twitched violently as he watched his own Ninjutsu backfire, turning into a tomb for his comrades. Rage and disbelief surged through him, threatening to drown out all reason.

It took two full days to reach Sunagakure from Konoha at full speed.
During the journey, Roshi found himself lost in thought. Because he was thinking while leaping through the forest, his pace slowed slightly, placing him somewhere in the middle of the formation.

The Jonin were roused from their sleep by urgent summons, and before dawn could even break, the whole of Konoha stirred awake.
The Hyuga compound, however, was eerily silent. Homura and Koharu, escorted by a squad of Anbu, had entered the premises to manage the aftermath personally.

Tsunade naturally understood what Hiruzen was aiming for.
His intentions were almost too transparent.
