Kasi Cair

Ch181. Invasion

Underneath his casual attitude, Kakashi was warily observing the situation and looking for any weakness in Rasa. He, in fact, arrived a bit earlier and wanted to surprise attack Rasa in the back, but unfortunately, the Kazekage was way too guarded for that.

It was important to know one's li...

Ch180. Did I miss something?

Watching the quickly filling arena, Hinata gave Ino an innocent look. "Since I dealt with the previous big attack, this one is yours, Ino-chan." She sweetly said, causing Ino to give her a stink eye.

Hinata just smiled through it until Ino relented and clicked her tongue. "Fine! Let big sis...

Ch179. Rasa joins the fray

After Hinata finished her attack, she didn't get to relish in self-satisfaction or inwardly gloat and preen. Her body was not yet ready for something that powerful. The second she released that amount of chakra, the bones in her broke again, and it was only thanks to using Heavenly Shield as a bu...

Ch178. Then, Hinata swung her fist

Rasa watched Hiruzen Sarutobi jump back under the assault of his golden dust, and as Orochimaru followed the Hokage, Rasa turned around, not giving chase.

The initial plan was to rampage with his wide-area techniques across Konoha, demolishing a large chunk of the village while attracting a...

Ch177. Working smarter, not harder

As he watched Temari, who alternated between giving him wary glances and looking in worry at Gaara's body on the snout of the ever-so-slowly shrinking Shukaku, Ren's anger slowly diminished.

He couldn't exactly blame her for being worried and risking her life for her brother, now, could he?...

Ch176. A five-minute job gone wrong

As the white feathers filled the arena and the enemy ninjas suddenly sprang into action, Ren was caught flat-footed. 

This was too soon. They were supposed to start their invasion during Sasuke and Gaara's match!

Whipping out a kunai, he deflected a shuriken aimed at his head, ca...

Ch175. You should have expected this 2

AN:

Sorry guys, I was quite busy this week. Just yesterday we had a birthday celebration in the family, so I again could not write.

But worry not! Today I had free time, so I decided to buckle up and write multiple chapters. You shall get four today.

As for the last chapter for ...

Ch174. You should have expected this

AN:

I promised you 2 chapters today, and as usual, I am not delivering!

Sigh. Sorry about it. I didn't find the time for it. I wrote this one, and I certainly feel it could have been done better if I had the time. But it is what it is. I hope you enjoy it.

A few moment...

Ch173. Ino vs Hinata 3

"Yosh! Asuma! Kurenai! You have such youthful students! Your teaching prowess is unparalleled!" Gai gave them a thumbs-up followed by his trademark sparkling smile, "But I shall surpass you! If I don't, I am going to do five thousand laps around Konoha using only my nose! I will climb the Hokage ...

Ch172. Ino vs Hinata 2

Hearing her own remark be thrown back in her face, Ino's expression darkened.

She decided that there was nothing to it. If she wanted to understand how the bitch was doing it, she had to observe the technique a few more times.

Springing forward, Ino brandished her wind-coated sword an...

Ch171. Ino vs Hinata 1

The proctor swiftly declared the next match, calling Ino and Hinata into the arena. The two of them stopped talking and exchanged a quick glance... before they silently disappeared from their positions, startling the other contestants who didn't even get a glimpse of them moving.

By the tim...

Ch170. Ino and Hinata's bet

"That absolute bastard!" Ino exclaimed, seething so much that even the Shikamaru down there subconsciously shivered as he was leaving the arena.

Her hands clutched the railing so tightly that she left small indents in the shape of her fingers behind. Only when the metal started creaking did...

Ch169. Naruto vs Shikamaru

After a while, the proctor finally managed to stop Choji from trying to roll over Omoi, who, by then, was gasping for breath as Choji gave him a shy, apologetic smile when he was told he had won.

The next match was quickly declared, calling Naruto and Shikamaru into the arena.

"Let's ...

Ch168. Omoi vs Choji 2

"Alright, kids. The match begins!" The proctor exclaimed while stifling his chuckling and swung his arm before jumping back.

Personally, he wouldn't have minded if they kept on bantering. The Omoi kid had some wild ideas. Unfortunately, they did not have infinite time.

As the match st...

Ch167. Omoi vs Choji 1

After his match, Shino leisurely walked back to the contestant area with his hands in the pockets of his coat. Noticing that Hinata was near Ino and Choji, he walked toward them with a subtle, slightly smug swagger that most people who did not spend considerable time near an Aburame clan member w...

Ch166. Chat in the Kage booth

"That was an interesting fight, Kazekage-dono. Your daughter is very talented." Orochimaru spoke, his eyes almost glinting in excitement. He liked the ninjutsu display very much. Especially the first wind technique. He had never seen something like that, and he guessed it had to be the girl's ori...

Ch165. Temari vs Shino

"Aburame Shino and Sabaku no Temari, stay in the arena. Others, please follow the path to the viewing room for contestants through that door." The proctor announced and gestured at the doorway to his right. Quickly enough, the arena was emptied, leaving only the two combatants and the proctor. 2025-07-10 20:58:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Ch164. Ino's mission

Hinata and Ino entered the arena, glancing at the gathered contestants standing in the middle, with only Naruto and Sasuke still missing, and then exchanged a meaningful glance.

'Ready?' Ino mentally asked through the telepathy seal as they walked to take their place.

'Sure.' Hinata n...

No chapter today

Sorry, guys, no time to write today.

I'll do two chapters some other day this week to compensate for it.

Have a good day.

Ch163. Butterfly effect

Time passed, and the day of the last part of the Chunin Exams quickly came. Ren leisurely entered the arena and showed his ticket to be let in.

Honestly, nothing truly important happened during the past month. Kids trained. Ino bullied Shikamaru and Choji into becoming stronger. Hinata spen...

Ch162. At least we have sandwiches

Ren exited his apartment, shaking his head in bemusement while hoping the building would still be standing when he got back. He left Karin, Naruto, and Jiraiya in his living room after all.

After the initial theatre, the following talks became calmer. Naruto was still sullen. Jiraiya was st...

Ch161. The reunion

"Hmmm. Quite average defenses." Jiraiya commented while looking around, while Ren started to unlock the front door leading to his apartment.

Hearing him, Ren inwardly rolled his eyes at the jab at his seal expertise. "Maybe. But don't try to meddle with them. They are rigged to go off if so...

Ch160. Meeting a Sage

Ren walked through Konoha's streets, feeling perplexed.

He wanted to study Sasuke's Cursed Seal, and just a few moments ago, he was on his way to the Uchiha Compound when he realized that Sasuke was not there because Kakashi had taken him for training.

Honestly, Ren had completely for...

Ch159. Let me sleep. Go 'way.

Shikamaru had woken up and almost moaned in comfort, his eyes still happily closed as his cheek lay on the soft pillow, not intending to leave it anytime soon.

It was his favorite one.

He was finally home. No bothersome exams. No troublesome training. No bossy blonde females. No bossy...

Ch158. Hyuga issues 2

Naturally, nobody came forth to challenge Hinata after that display. The Elders were too shaken, and none of them wanted to end up like Hiroto, with their dignity destroyed.

Death, they could handle. It was a constant in their world. They were used to it. But humiliation like that? How coul...

Ch157. Hyuga issues

Ren leisurely sat down on the floor while Hinata sat in seiza next to him.

They, alongside Ino, had a lot of fun after they came home from the Chunin Exams. Unfortunately, Ino had to leave the very next day because her father summoned her. He wanted her to undergo a highly intense, advanced...

Ch156. Chunin Exams: Last matches

Seeing Naruto celebrate, Ren was happy for the boy. It was only natural. After all, he had a hand in molding him into his current state. He might not have directly taught him much, but he had given a lot of journals to Karin, knowing they would eventually find their way to Naruto's hands.

E...

Ch155. Chunin Exams: Kiba vs Naruto 2

Naruto instinctively started spitting out the liquid while his clones cringed in disgust, causing their vigilance to drop.

Kiba used that moment to rush the original Naruto, his nails turning into claws as he swiped them at the still distracted blonde's face, whose eyes began widening in al...

Ch154. Chunin Exams: Kiba vs Naruto 1

In the end, Omoi won the match as he had a significant advantage because his lightning-clad sword was capable of severing Kankuro's chakra threads.

But it was close, and at the end of the match, Kankuro sported several gashes and was severely electrocuted while Omoi was heavily poisoned by ...

No chapter today

Hi, guys. I am too busy to write today. Just like the other times, you will get two chapters some day this week, probably tomorrow.

I've seen the comments about how this arc is boring, and fair enough. I am not even going to try to argue about it. I plan to wrap the preliminary rounds in th...
