Ghosts in the Mist (Part- 6) [Naoki’s Successor: The Operator Who Thought ‘Friendship’ Was Safe]

Ren spoke. “The extermination of the Yuki clan must have terrified and angered the bloodline clans enough to push them to band together against the Mizukage faction, didn’t it.”

Four nodded, agreeing without hesitation. “Yes. For now, it’s mostly covert struggles like backroom meetings, tense standoffs between some shinobi squads...

Ghosts in the Mist (Part-5) [Mist Village: Where Betrayal Is The National Hobby]

Four moved ahead of his squad with Itachi and Yugao following behind. He didn’t waste time giving long instructions and just told them to stay close for now. They traveled for about an hour through the wet terrain until the dull glow of scattered fires hinted that they were nearing signs of human presence.

When they paused behind a mossy...

Ghosts in the Mist (Part-4) [Ren’s Vacation Home In The Mist: Now With Women’s Bathroom]

Thirteen shadows cut silently through the frigid ocean near the Land of Water’s coastal waters, their passage hidden from any above. As Ren had expected, the Mist hadn’t just stationed scouts at the outer perimeter, instead, there were countless hidden sensors and watch points along the seabed approach. But none of them came close to catchin...

Ghosts in the Mist (Part-3) [Leadership 101: Stop Acting Like An Edgelord Lone Wolf]

{Third Person POV}

A lone brigantine ship cut steadily through the dark waters between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water. On deck, scattered Konoha shinobi moved in silence, each one keenly aware of the S-rank mission they were about to face deep in enemy territory.

Yet, despite the tension that hung over the ship like ...

Ghosts in the Mist (Part-2) [Kaizoku ou ni, ore wa naru!]

Yugao POV

“Why the hell are you so tall?”

Not just me but everyone paused at that question because of how random it was. But Ren just kept going, completely unfazed.

“We were almost the same height when we became Chunin so why is it that in less than a year you’ve grown almost a head taller than me?”

He...

Ghosts in the Mist (Part-1) [Hitoshi’s Here Too: Silent, Supportive, Suffering]

{Normal 2 chapters update today}

2 months later.

Yugao’s POV

As I walk through the ANBU headquarters, I catch myself humming that weird tune Ren always hums, it’s become all too familiar now. It’s been a while since I last saw him; maybe I should find some time to check in.

But I guess he�...

Another Day, Another Dead Idealist

Standing over Roku’s dead body, Ren turned his head slightly and spoke in a teasing tone, “Were you worried about me, boss-man?”

The shadows shifted a bit and Yoru’s figure became visible as he replied in a plain voice, “You caused too big of a commotion with the auction house. It attracted many eyes.”

Ren shrugged his sh...

News

Sorry guys, just got free from all the celebrations so I couldn't write at all, but now that it's done there will be normal updates from tomorrow.

He’s giving me life lessons about village injustice while I’m actively ignoring him to test my rock armor.

Roku clenched his jaw, eyes flicking once to Ren's arms still flexing like some smug boulder. He moved again without wasting any time. His hands blurred through signs, sparks leaping from rod to rod in rapid flashes. The entire clearing snapped alive as the metal stakes hummed, each one pulsing brighter until the ground under Ren's feet vibrated...

When Your Best Technique Feeds His Training Arc

From the shadows, Ren watched the tense Roku. ‘From what I’ve seen so far,’ he thought, ‘it shouldn’t be a big problem for me to deal with him. Hyperfocus should make avoiding those lightning arcs easy enough and if I open the Gates, I can reach him before he even finishes setting up that technique. He doesn’t really pose any th...

Leaf Village PR Team Be Like: ‘We Swear That’s Not Us’

In the dark forest, the figure of a young man moved swiftly between the trees, constantly glancing over his shoulder for signs of pursuit. He looked tense, but when flickers of movement suddenly surrounded him from all sides, the expected panic never came. Instead, his eyes grew so calm that they seemed almost cold.

One of the figures...

Boa Hancock Auctioned Your Dignity

Once the crowd poured into the grand tent, they found themselves staring up at a wide, beautifully decorated stage. But none of that mattered, because the figure standing at the center outshone every last bit of splendor.

A woman, no, an empress, stood tall and impossible to ignore. She was strikingly tall for a woman i...

The Festival Before the Execution

Zukoma Village

Inside the sparse, prison-like house at the edge of the village, the air felt like it was humming with static. The current village leader, Kiharu Homu, stood outside the iron-bound door, hand raised to knock but hesitating for just a moment. He’d just received information that could change the fate of Zukoma Village either...

An Ocean Of Rumors For A Drop Of Blood

After leaving Roku’s location, Ren didn’t rush to act immediately. Instead, he found a small restaurant tucked away in a side street and ordered a simple meal. He ate slowly, each bite giving him time to sift through everything he’d seen.

When he’d peeked through that grimy window, he’d confirmed something that even the undergrou...

Next Time, Just Stay A Backwater Nobody

{Really sorry, guys, kept getting disturbed by some things, so I only managed one chapter today, but don't worry, I'll make up for it when the fight scenes begin since those chapters go very fast.}

{Also, check the comments for sure.}

Goodbye Politics, Hello Punching S-Rank Shinobi

After returning from Utakata’s house, the rest of the day passed in a blur. As soon as his chakra recovered, Ren made the maximum number of chakra clones and assigned them work. Now that he had access to every elemental jutsu the village possessed, the clones for elemental practice could grind mastery at full speed. The Fuinjutsu clones w...

"Thank you Sensei."

“Absolutely not.”

Utakata’s voice cut right through Ren and Nami’s conspiratorial chatter. Both of them turned to look at him, pouting like scolded children. Nami complained first, “What’s the matter, Uta-chan? I’m just having a conversation with your student.”

Ren chimed in immediately, “That’s right, S...

From Genocide Politics To Domestic Violence In Seconds

Once Ren left the meeting hall, he went straight to Yoru’s office as he’d been called before. At the ANBU Command, he didn’t stop  as he headed straight to Yoru’s door and knocked.

Knock knock knock.

“Commander.”

“Come in.”

Knock knock knock.

“Commander.”

Silence.

Hashirama Was Dumb, Hiashi Is Mad, Ren Is Petty. A Konoha Story

Many who didn’t know the full story were genuinely shocked at Fugaku’s blatant support of Ren. But most of the room was smart enough to understand that this was really a feud between the noble clans, Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga, and that it wouldn’t touch them directly. So they stayed quiet, letting the tension simmer.

Hiashi didn’t m...

The Child Who Sat on the Table and Took Over the Room

Shikaku was clearly enjoying the back-and-forth between Ren and Danzo. His eyes kept bouncing between the two, like he was watching a live drama unfold. So much so that he didn’t hear Hiruzen telling to continue until the Hokage began clearing his throat repeatedly.

Finally, Shikaku turned, looking slightly annoyed, as if he was the one...

Yes, I Sat on the Table. What Are You Going to Do, Danzo?

As they continued moving toward the Hokage’s office, Ren kept talking. It was mostly one-sided chatter, with Utakata giving short, dry responses that didn’t exactly count as a conversation, but that didn’t bother Ren at all, he was used to it by now so he carried on without pause.

When they arrived, they were informed that the m...

Getting Pegged by an Old Man (Meat Edition)

Once out of the basement, Ren initially thought of cooking something himself, but then changed his mind. It would be better to just go out and eat. This time, however, his destination wouldn’t be Ichiraku Ramen. Instead, he headed toward Yakiniku Q. There were two reasons.

First, he had only been to the place once  with his dad &nbs...

I Didn’t Choose Taijutsu. It Jumped Me In The Alley.

{I'm really sorry that I broke my word once again, but guys, yesterday was a happy day for my family. My father got promotion, so we went out and it was a really happy day, I couldn't bring myself to not join in the fun. So, once again, sorry.}

As the timer faded, Ren’s body relaxed automatically, it was like a subconscious rel...

Now Testing My ‘Body Is a Weapon’ Hypothesis

Ren shifted focus again and traced a small current of mixed Earth-Yang chakra toward the underside of his forearm, specifically to the subdermal layer. It was more sensitive there so any mistake would cause chakra backlash, or worse, numbness. But with his current control and boosted intelligence, he was confident enough to test it. 2025-06-25 07:47:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Kimura’s Left Hand Triggered My Villain Arc

{Wanted to do 3 chapters yesterday, but would be doing it today instead. 2 now and 1 more in a little while.}

Once he decided to use the remaining time on the intelligence boost, Ren opened up his mastery panel again. He had 3 minutes left on the timer, and if he wanted to make full use of them, he couldn’t afford to waste the ...

Question

Are you guys receiving the notification about chapter updates? A few of you commented that you aren't getting email notifications, but I always have it turned on, so tell me if it's the same problem with everyone or only a few.

When in Doubt, Lie on the Floor and Pretend You’re a Genius

‘First off, my speed is too slow.’

That was the first thought that came to Ren’s mind. Even though the Flying Thunder God was the fastest jutsu known in the world, he wasn’t referring to the speed of the technique itself, he was talking about the activation time.

Right now, he had to locate the seal, create the spatial pathwa...

When You’re So Smart Even the Laws of Nature Back Off

The moment Ren confirmed with the system, the timer [10:00] started ticking.

It was strange.

The second the boost activated, his thoughts sharpened like a blade. His eyes didn’t move faster, his body didn’t suddenly become quicker, but inside his head, everything just… clicked.

He could feel it.

Ideas started lining...

When Your Basement Looks Like Tobirama’s Garage Sale

Once Ren was done annoying Yoru, he returned to his basement.

With the jonin promotion already underway, not that he could do anything about it since it was already under consideration, he could finally focus on the real reason for his return. Something more important.

His clones had already vanished by the time he got back...

Update

Hey Guys!

I am writing the scene where Ren uses the intelligence boost for the past 2 days, and it's taking a lot of thinking so that I could churn out a good scene. Right now I am only done with 1 and a half chapters for that, so I plan to take a little more time and publish all the chapters for that scene all together. That way it wouldn...
