Since everyone in the room already understood the state Ren was in, no one really expected him to contribute much to tonight’s gathering, even though he was technically the one who planned it.
Yugao looked around at the group and asked, “Alright, he wants barbecue. What about the rest of you? Or should we just order a full set and ever...

After everything that happened, Ren finally made his way back home.
He stood in front of the house for a while, looking at it in silence. He tried to feel something, nostalgia maybe, or sentiment but it was still just the same old house. Nothing had changed. He shrugged and went inside.
First thing, he took a long bath, then cooked h...

Homura sat alone in his study, as silence filled the room.
Today had been... overwhelming, to say the least. In one day, he had seen more chaos than he had in the last decade. Council chambers torn apart by words sharper than blades, Danzo humiliated, Koharu crushed.
Ren, with that infernal smile, had spun the whole village around hi...

There was a heavy silence after Danzo’s venomous warning. A silence that felt heavier than the crater he lay in. Then Yoru’s voice cut through, calm and almost casual.
“You must think you’re the only smart and capable person in this world, don’t you?”
There was no malice in his tone, not even dry amusement, it was like he...

The shockwave had barely faded when the air cracked with chakra.
Hundreds of shinobi flickered into view around the smoldering outskirts, jonin, Chunin, even a few off-duty ANBU. The explosion had been too loud, too violent, too close. It felt like a declaration of war and now they had come in force, expecting an enemy.
What they f...

Back in the council hall, silence hung heavy in the air, broken only by the faint creak of chairs as people shifted uncomfortably. The aura Ren had left behind was still thick, and a phantom pressure lingered in everyone's minds.
Homura sighed and bent down to help Koharu to her feet. “I told you,” he muttered under his breath as he ho...

Ren kept his cold gaze fixed on Danzo, his posture as relaxed as it had been at the start, but inside, he was giddy.
‘This is so fun. No wonder the fanfic seniors always wanted to deal with Danzo. I’m having the time of my life right now, I can’t even imagine how fun it’ll be to kill him.’
As he was thinking this there was ...

The polished wooden doors of the council chamber loomed ahead as Hiruzen and Ren came to a stop, the old Hokage straightened his back and let out a slow exhale, his weathered hand brushing over his robes in one final act of composure. An ANBU shinobi appeared beside him with a flicker and, with practiced formality, pushed the grand doors open.

As Ren and Itachi came to a halt just before the Hokage’s raised platform, the air grew still again. All eyes now turned to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who stood calmly in his formal robes. His aged face carried a gentle smile, and his hands were clasped behind his back as he looked over the crowd, then back to the two boys standing be...

Outside the Hidden Leaf Village’s Main Gates
The air was still, filled with quiet anticipation. The shinobi lined up just beyond the gates weren’t civilians or merchants, but survivors, agents of the Hidden Leaf who had infiltrated the Hidden Mist, and the team that had brought them home.
They were arranged in a clean, intentiona...

ANBU Command Centre
Commander Yoru’s Office

It took Ren only a few seconds to reach the ship.
The moment his feet landed on deck, a collective sigh of relief passed through the shinobi on board as his return meant one thing, the worst was over.
They’d seen the giant toad. Felt the earth-shaking chakra in the distance. They all knew exactly who had arrived.

Kakashi and Itachi moved fast, the treeline thinning out as the scent of saltwater filled the air. The sound of crashing waves in the distance told them they were close so neither slowed.

The rendezvous point Ren had chosen was the Nanohai Shore, located at the southwestern edge of the Land of Water’s main island. From there, if they moved quickly and without delays, they could head straight into open sea without having to pass by any other landmass or patrol-heavy routes. That was exactly why Ren had picked it, it was the most...

It took Mo about thirty minutes to return, fluttering in through a narrow crack in the rocky ceiling with a faint shimmer of golden light trailing behind. By then, Ren had already recovered around eighty percent of his stamina. His body had been more exhausted than injured, and with Utakata's healing chakra and a bit of rest, his recovery had mo...

Ren didn’t wait for the chakra spike to peak. The moment Kisame’s grin widened and his chakra flared, Ren moved, his feet blurring against the cracked terrain, dodging to the side just as Kisame slammed into the spot he was standing a breath ago.
The earth cratered beneath Kisame’s fist, chunks of stone flung into the air.

As Ren continued to launch himself forward with bursts of raw speed, he couldn’t help but think, ‘I’ve really been under using chakra stability.’
Right now, it was doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Without it, there’s no way he’d be able to combine chakra-enhanced strength and the Eight Gates like this.

Utakata had spent days layering seals across the entire mountain, etched into stone, inked beneath snowdrifts, burned into roots, hidden behind moss. From the outside, nothing looked different. But from the moment the first hunter-nin entered the range, he knew. The moment the last one crossed the threshold, he moved.

While the others were busy with their missions, Ren, of course, couldn’t just sit around doing nothing. He was constantly leaping through the trees and darting across swamps, leading the hunter-nin on the wildest chase they’d probably ever had. At least fifty or sixty of them were on him at all times, and every so often, more would spring fr...

Terumi Clan Compound
Private Meeting Room
Inside a shadowed meeting hall of the Terumi clan compound, five of the strongest bloodline clan heads sat in a circle, there was a pitter-patter of rain on the tiled roof above them. This room, with its dark wood and paper walls, felt more like a war bunker than a noble clan’s chamber.
