Back from Rogue Hunting & Ready to Bait the Boss

The rest of the month passed by in a fast-paced blur. During this time, Ren barely had a moment to spare for clearing out rogue groups, but thanks to Yoru’s continuous stream of missions, he was still able to complete numerous A-rank assignments. Over the course of the month, he successfully led and completed 13 A-rank missions with various sq...

You Wish Your Leadership Was This Chill & Ruthless

The morning sun filtered through the trees as Ren stood near a quiet body of water, his reflection still and steady on the surface. Dressed in his standard ANBU uniform with the 5-Star Numbers mask securely in place, he waited for the squad assigned to him. Somewhere in the surrounding foliage, Kimura lingered in the shadows, completely undetect...

Welcome to The Menacing Society: First Rule Is Don’t Die

Left alone at the gate, Tsunade let out a low growl. “He reminds me more of those clan elders who kept nagging me to get married than a younger brother,” she muttered under her breath.

Shizune, standing quietly beside her, glanced at her with hesitant eyes. “Lady Tsunade,” she asked cautiously, “Why did you accept him as you...

Yes, I’m Strong. No, I’m Not Interested in Leadership. I Have Ice Cream.

The air shifted faintly, and in front of Ren appeared Kimura, kneeling on one knee.

Ren coughed awkwardly. Honestly, he hadn't expected the one person he spared on a whim, out of momentary interest, to turn out to be his own shadow guard. It wasn’t strange for a Senju to have a personal shadow assigned from birth, but to encounter his ow...

Not a Hero, Just Here to Punch Danzo (What a dream for all of us)

Tsunade began, her voice steady and grim, “Sayaka was attacked, right after she got pregnant with you. Fortunately, your father's team was with her at the time. If they hadn’t been there… no one knows what might’ve happened.”

She paused, eyes narrowing slightly. “However, that wasn’t even the main concern. What mattered ...

Ren Reacts to Generational Tragedy Like It’s Mildly Inconvenient

Tsunade lowered her head, her chakra receding like a tide after a storm. Before her, Ren stirred.

His eyes opened slowly, then squinted, not from light, but from the overwhelming clarity. Everything felt layered. The world moved as if slowed by thick oil, revealing the substructure beneath every motion.

'So this is perfected Hyperfoc...

When the World Tries to Erase You

As soon as Tsunade heard the words, she stilled.

Her gaze shifted toward the speaker and saw that it was the white-winged butterfly.

But when her mind registered the words, her eyes drifted helplessly back to Ren’s bloody figure.

Blood.

Blood.

So much blood.

There was a constant screeching in her mind, ...

Where Loyalty Ends, Madness Begins

{Purple-Water, Yellow-Shadow, Green-Fire, Blue-Invisible. If it’s wrong somewhere please mark it.}

~~~

Everything clicked.

Ren's body, battered and bloodied, no longer felt like a collection of torn muscles and cracked bone held together by sheer will. Now, he could feel the heat of friction between his joints, the pulsing rh...

Standing Between a Legend and a Dumb Idea

{This fight might feel weird, but keep reading, and everything will become clear.}

The system's observe function lit up with four flickers in the distance.

[SHIBAYAMA] [LEVEL 76]

Ren didn't blink as his breathing slowed becoming more controlled an...

Sannin vs Raikage: The Grudge Match Nobody Authorized

Soon, everyone had gathered in the clearing behind the club. Two massive stones had been pushed together to create a makeshift platform for an arm-wrestling showdown.

On one side stood Tsunade, her arms crossed, her expression unreadable. Behind her were Shizune and Kimura, and further behind, a crowd of random mob spectators, all che...

Unmarried Elder Woman vs Kid Menace

In a private room of a club nestled deep within Tanzaku Gai’s Gambler’s Haven, chaos was brewing, though for now, it looked deceptively peaceful.

On one side of a low table, two women lay passed out. One of them, a striking blonde, snored softly with her head pressed against the table, a sake cup still loosely held in her fingers. The...

I Put a Bounty on Myself Because Therapy’s Too Slow

Another month soon passed as Ren continued to hunt down the rogue ninja, but this month was far more fast-paced than the previous one. During this month, Ren had begun to actively use butterflies to locate rogue camps. Though this could cause others to speculate about his summoning contract, he felt it was worth the risk. With the help of the bu...

No chapter today

Hey guys!

Couldn't write today due to a function at home. Normal updates from tomorrow.

Stay safe

Bye.

Butterfly Uber Delivers Corpses Now

Ren stood still for only a minute longer, his body recovering at a ridiculous rate thanks to his mastery over physical training and chakra flow. His injuries were already fading, the muscle strain healing, the slight exhaustion dissolving into clarity. He took one last breath, then silently activated all four gates in a seamless motion.

A ...

When You’re Too Efficient and HR Tries to Kill You

After leaving the bounty center with a heavier wallet, Ren returned to his tried-and-tested method of decision-making: the sacred stick toss. Standing just outside the perimeter of the clearing, he looked around to make sure no one was watching, then dramatically took out a thin twig from his bag. He held it like a ceremonial relic, whispered, �...

I Didn’t Choose the Shinobi Life, But I Did Monetize It

A month had passed since Ren first stepped beyond the walls of the Hidden Leaf, and the forests of the Land of Fire had long since lost their novelty. In that time, he had wiped out three full rogue shinobi camps and hunted down twelve individual missing-nin that met the bounty criteria laid out in his mission assignment. All of that amounted to...

The Real Rogue Ninja Were the Friends We Incapacitated Along the Way

Maintaining a swift, efficient pace, even without relying on chakra to enhance his movement, Ren moved deeper into enemy territory. His breathing remained steady, muscles fluid, and his steps light against the soft grass below. Every now and then, his hand would reach behind to check the scroll compartments on his belt or to adjust the...

The Rogue Hunter's Guide to Cardio, Chaos, and Cashflow

The two days passed by in a flash, as Ren continued his routine of intense training. With no missions assigned during this period, he focused entirely on his physical conditioning. And now, two days later, he stood at one of the ANBU-exclusive exits from the village, facing his ever-stoic commander, Yoru.

Yoru studied him for a moment, the...

The Light, The Shadow, and That One Kid Who Won’t Shut Up

It was only the next day, after Ren woke up in the morning, that he finally looked at the newly gained special stat: Charisma (CHA). On the status screen, a newly added column had appeared after the regular attributes. It was titled Special Stats, and there was only one stat listed in it:

CHARISMA (CHA): 52

He looked...

When the Guardian Speaks, the Tower Shakes

Naruto who had finally freed himself from the bug abomination panted slightly as he felt a water drop on him and looked up, just to see that rain had begun once again so he quickly ran back to him home.

Suddenly he stopped, as if remembering something and shouted, “AH! I don’t his name.”

Blue and Yellow

Naruto stopped at the entrance as he spotted Ren. Normally, he could easily tell what people thought of him, it was always in their eyes. But this time, he couldn’t feel anything and Ren’s eyes were hidden behind a pair of dark sunglasses, and there was no scorn or judgment in his posture, just calm neutrality.

Ren, still hal...

October Tenth

Inojin took out a few sealing tags from his pocket and explained, “These are sensory dampening seals. They temporarily dull your five senses so you can focus entirely on perceiving with your spiritual energy instead of your sensory organs.”

He handed one to Ren and added, “Just place it on your forehead. It’ll activate on its own.�...

Divine Sense? In This World?

Upon hearing Yoru’s words, Ren immediately stood up. Yoru rummaged through one of his desk drawers, pulled out a scroll, and tossed it across the room. Ren caught it with ease.

“There should be a few in it and some other things too,” Yoru said. “Going forward, if you want something, you go through proper procedure.”

Re...

Giving Existential Crisis to Itsuki

The next day, after finishing his morning training, Ren headed to find Three. He knocked on her door, and a few seconds later, she opened it, already dressed in her full gear.

“Five, the commander informed me. Let’s go to one of the training rooms,” she said without delay.

Ren followed her through the base to one of the three t...

Rated A+ for Violence and Vibes

Once Ren woke up from his sleep, he took a quick bath and made himself some food. After finishing his meal, he headed straight to the basement where his clones were diligently working. Since he had been practicing weapons for quite some time, the number of weapons in active rotation had reduced. Only the more unique ones remained, such as the co...

Operation Soft Launch (Part-6) [The Blue Menace and the Shadow War]

As soon as the fight ended, Raiken tried to escape. He knew that even though Yoru had said his role was only to observe and report, there was no chance he’d be allowed to leave in one piece. So he took the moment of Ren's victory to make his move.

But Yoru wasn’t someone who would allow that.

The instant Raiken moved, Yoru flicke...

Operation Soft Launch (Part-5) [How to Break a Man Using His Own Sword]

The moment of shift was subtle.

There were no flashy bursts of chakra or dramatic thunderclaps.

But for Ren, the world changed again.

Lines became sharper. Sounds slowed into clarity. He could count each heartbeat, each shift in the air as a foot pressed down on snow. Every muscle twitch of his enemies fed directly into his ant...

Operation Soft Launch (Part-4) [Yoru’s Parenting Style Is Just PTSD with a Mask]

A short distance away

A figure moved fast through the dense forest, his speed carving a narrow tunnel through the mist and snow. The man was tall, dark-skinned, and muscular, wearing a thick black cloak with the Cloud Village insignia faded near the hem.

His eyes flicked toward the distant flashes of battle, chakra pressure heavy in ...

Operation Soft Launch (Part-3) [How to Humble Four Killers and Still Get Stabbed]

Ren remained crouched on the thick tree branch, completely focused, unaware of the events unfolding a little distance away in the shadows. His gaze never left the patrol route, and soon enough, it was Renji's turn again. The hunched, pale man was already on the move, patrolling the outer edges of the camp with his usual jerky movements. That was...

Operation Soft Launch (Part-2) [Five Rogues, Two Corpses, Zero Sound]

It didn’t take long for the two of them to reach the general mission location. Traveling without breaks, they moved through forests and over ridges, avoiding roads entirely. The Land of Frost, like the Land of Iron, was blanketed in thick snow.

A stark white canvas stretched in all directions, snow-covered trees, frozen rivers, and rolli...
