Operation Soft Launch (Part-1) [Rated S for Subtle Flex]

Once back in his room at the command base, Ren began donning his full gear. This mission was different, it would be the first time he was heading out directly under Yoru’s command. He decided the occasion warranted wearing his full uniform.

This wasn’t the standard ANBU uniform he usually wore during missions with the Numbers’ animal squads. Instead, it was the specialized uniform exclusive to the Commander's squad, a perk of being...

Ren in ANBU

Damn!!

I was designing Ren's full ANBU gear specialized for the numbers when I decided to try and generate an AI image, and holy shit! It came out exactly like I expected and even better. Though the sword was a bit unnecessary, it's a good addition.

I Got Punched Into Enlightenment

Ren’s scream pierced through the otherwise silent ANBU training ground. The other four Numbers, who had been nursing their injuries nearby, flinched. They had seen Ren fight hard before, but nothing like this, nothing that could drive him to such a visceral, agonized cry.

Within seconds, the ANBU medical team stationed on the perimeter moved in. Two of them flickered to Ren’s side, already activating diagnostic jutsu. The lead medic ...

Yoru’s Favorite Hobby: Employee Abuse

Ren returned to his basement and immediately assigned two clones to begin working on analyzing the seal-covered Yamanaka. Though he had acted clueless during the earlier conversation, he already had his suspicions.

‘Looks like Danzo really was supplying Orochimaru with subordinates and experimental subjects,’ he thought, watching the clones settle the body and begin the preliminary inspection. His brows furrowed slightly. ‘Even Ino...

Let's be done with the Uchiha

For the longest time, the most comments I have been getting are about doing something about the Uchiha Massacre, and though not right now, I would have to do something, anything, and I can't decide what to do about that.

So, as any good Webnovel writer would do, I am putting this on you, so decide.

Should the Uchiha Massacre continue as it is, or should I change it?

(PS: If the change option wins, then there would be a comple...

Orochimaru Wants to Adopt Ren, and That’s a Problem for Literally Everyone

Shinnosuke hearing this immediately began making plans, "Owl support me with ninjutsu attacks, Rabbit take over Butterfly at the right moment, Butterfly attack the seal with all your strength, just stunning him is enough." all of them nodded and got to work.

Holding the target’s arm in a locked position using the whip, Ren yanked it forward with force. Shinnosuke didn’t miss the opportunity and he stepped in and released a close...

Ren’s Guide to Gaslighting the Commander Into More Dangerous Assignments

A little over a month had passed since Ren began his missions under the Numbers. During this time, he had completed a large number of B-rank and C-rank assignments under all four of the elite squad leaders, but despite repeated requests and even borderline pestering, if he was honest, not a single A-rank mission had been assigned to him.

Even when Ren brought it up during downtime or after missions, Yoru had remained unmoved, shutti...

They Gave the Masked Kid a Whip. Mistakes Were Made

Ren, under the lead of Number 2, soon arrived at a room nearly identical to the one Number 1 had taken him to earlier. From the structure to the minimal lighting, everything was the same. The only difference this time was the people waiting inside.

Three ANBU members stood by the wall, each wearing an animal-themed mask. As Ren’s eyes fell on them, the system’s observation kicked in:

Turtle Mask: Genma Shiranui : Leve...

ANBU Initiation (Part-1) [Mission Maniac Begins His Shift]

The five ANBU operatives departed through the eastern side of the base, bypassing the traditional village gates entirely. Their exit route led them through one of the concealed tunnels which was an underground pathway branching out from the back mountain of the Hokage monument.

The tunnel was shielded by multiple layers of seals, which required Shinnosuke’s chakra signature to unlock.

They moved in single file, masks on, cha...

The Butterfly Effect

After watching the match between Ren and Yoru, Hiruzen had already returned to his office. He sat quietly, puffing on his pipe, eyes scanning the horizon through the open window. As expected, not even a minute passed before a flicker of movement signaled Yoru’s arrival. The ANBU Commander appeared silently in front of the desk, standing at attention.

Hiruzen gave a slight smile. “I must say, I was surprised that the boy caught onto ...

Getting Pegged By An Old Man (ANBU Edition)

Back to Ren and Yoru.

The moment Yoru vanished, Ren immediately tensed up. He didn’t know whether this man was just testing him or if he would actually land real hits in the fight. Barely a second passed before Ren’s body unnaturally twisted, narrowly dodging a punch from Yoru. But even that didn’t last long. Mid-motion, Yoru stopped his fist and altered its trajectory so that it curved toward Ren once more.

Ren managed to ro...

They Gave Me a Codename. I Gave Them a Headache.

{Volume 4 begins now} {The ANBU arc}

It had been three days since Ren's Chunin promotion when he finally received instructions for what came next.

On this particular morning, he was training alone in Training Ground 1. Since a new Genin squad hadn’t yet been assigned to the field, Ren continued to use it for himself. After completing a rigorous training cycle, he sat down to recover.

Only a few minutes passed befo...

When Your Insect Friends Know More About Your Family Than You Do

When Ren left the Butterfly Summoning Land, he reappeared in the training ground, precisely at the spot where he had placed the reverse summoning seal.

Utakata, who had been waiting nearby, let out a relieved sigh the moment he saw Ren return with every limb intact. Even though Katsuyu had reassured him that the summon would be protective of Ren, the worry hadn’t left his mind until he saw his student safely back.

Seeing Ren stab...

Me: I Don’t Need Summons | Also Me: Makes ****** Clones 5 Minutes Later

As soon as Ren’s vision cleared, he found himself standing in the middle of a jungle. A very normal-looking jungle, filled with vibrant flowers and lush trees. Strangely, even the Forest of Death felt more dangerous than this place.

Ren frowned slightly as he surveyed the area. ‘Even though I’m not really interested in summoning creatures, I wouldn’t mind having a strong summon. But this forest, it feels too peaceful. The su...

Emotionally Constipated and Summon-Blocked Too

As soon as Utakata’s words fell, Ren froze.

He hadn’t expected his sensei to be this observant, so much so that he could notice the details Ren himself had ignored. A quiet unease settled in his chest as he reflected, ‘Even I didn’t know I was this emotionally unstable. But back then.’

His thoughts drifted to the day he brought Eiji’s broken team back to the village. One clear thought had etched itself into his mind, �...

Love, Lies, and a Tree Uprooted

As soon as Hitoshi’s words dropped, both Yugao and Ren were stunned.

Ren blinked. He hadn’t expected this. Hitoshi… had feelings for Yugao?

Not once during their two years together had there been a single indication that Hitoshi felt anything more than camaraderie toward her. At most, he treated her the same way he treated Ren, like a teammate.

‘Well, now this is interesting. Ren thought as a wide smile slowly sp...

Ren’s Trash Talk Speedruns Yugao’s Sanity

{Got out of the hospital. Wrote the chapter. Posted it.}

Back in Konoha, Hiruzen had already landed. With a slight adjustment of his robes, he calmly smoothed out the creases, using a gentle gust of wind to dust them off. Around him, several shinobi still stood in place, eyes wide, admiration practically written on their faces.

To many of them, especially the civilian shinobi, this man was still the God of Shinobi.

Hiruzen no...

Poll

We'll soon be heading towards the story as Ren would get his summon so I've got a few doubts that I'd like you guys to be involved in.

Since it's already been decided that the summon land would be an OC I won't be wasting time on that.

Should I add a sage level figure (like the toad sage, white snake sage and katsuyu) or should I make it a sage-less summon land.

News

Hey guys!
I just had a tiny accident yesterday after it got a bit too crazy with my friends, so I'm in the hospital right now.
But don't worry I'll be out tomorrow and we'll start with the chunin promotion and everything else from Monday.

(As a bonus for me getting into an accident you'll get even more extra chapters next week.)

Let's discuss Yugao's love

So, as I posted a chapter on Webnovel, I got a comment about getting Yugao and Hitoshi together, and this genuinely got me thinking, so let's decide who Yugao's love interest will be.

Kage Diplomacy: Glare, Threaten, Float Away

Without going anywhere else, Ren returned home, took a long bath, made himself something simple to eat, and finally dropped onto his bed. For the first time in what felt like weeks, there were no missions to run off to, no training schedules, no last-minute scroll studies. The Chunin Exams were over.

He lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, fingers slowly reaching for the fire pendant hanging around his neck, the one his father had gi...

The First Chapter Ends

In the VIP box above the stadium, silence lingered for a few moments before the Third Hokage broke it with a soft chuckle.

"Well now… that was certainly one way to end an exam," Hiruzen said, setting his pipe down and exhaling a gentle stream of smoke.

Onoki, seated beside him, had his arms crossed and a scowl just shy of amused. "Tch. You Leaf shinobi always have a flair for drama. Your Genin nearly broke the stadium."

Promotion Commotion (Part-10) [Uppercut to Canon]

Ren's hand came up in time to deflect Itachi's kunai strike, and the metal-on-metal sound rang out again as they disengaged. Neither spoke. Neither smirked. They just moved.

Itachi pushed forward with sudden momentum, his sharingan spinning. He went low for a sweeping kick but Ren vaulted over it, flipping mid-air and aiming a crushing heel drop. Itachi flickered away, reappearing behind him and launching another barrage of shuriken, eac...

Promotion Commotion (Part-9)

{Title 1- The Girl Who Cut Through Dawn}

~~~

Both Yugao and Kurotsuchi were still standing, showing no signs of surrender, so the proctor lowered his hand again.

Yugao's final lightning strike had indeed shocked Kurotsuchi, imperfectly, but enough to disrupt her balance and dampen her senses. The impurities in the stone gauntlets acted as conduits, conducting the electricity directly into Kurotsuchi's arms and torso. Her brea...

Promotion Commotion (Part-8) [That Wasn’t a Golem, That Was Target Practice]

Raising his hands, Hitoshi announced, "I surrender."

The crowd erupted into cheers like background NPCs, some even whistling as they clapped. The proctor nodded and stepped forward, raising his hand toward Itachi.

"The winner of the fifth match is Itachi Uchiha!"

He turned around and walked back toward the other proctors to prepare the slips for the next stage of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Itachi lowered his kunai and l...

Promotion Commotion (Part-7) [Begin. BOOM. Winner.]

As soon as the proctor shouted "Begin!", Iwa Shiro didn’t waste a moment. He immediately formed hand signs and slammed both palms onto the ground.

[Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm!]

The terrain between him and Ren began to shift violently. Blocks of jagged earth erupted and charged forward, tearing up the arena floor as they moved.

But Ren didn’t budge. He stood still, arms relaxed at his sides.

A small gr...

Promotion Commotion (Part-6) [Konoha's Got Talent (It’s Mostly Just Punching)]

The month passed sooner than expected, and finally, the day of the third stage of the Chunin Exams arrived.

Even though Jiraiya had reluctantly agreed to train Ren, it became obvious quickly that he didn't intend to stick to his promise entirely. As a result, Ren had to spend a good portion of the month chasing Jiraiya down across Konoha, mostly by exposing his latest perch while he was "researching" outside bathhouses.

It became a...

Promotion Commotion (Part-5) [Training Begins with Screaming and Threats]

The arrival of the Third Hokage immediately silenced the room. Whatever quiet muttering had been going on among the Genin was wiped away the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped onto the stage, his presence commanding attention with ease.

He stood still for a moment, scanning the line of participants. His gaze was calm, thoughtful, but heavy. Every Genin in the room straightened instinctively under the pressure of his presence.

Promotion Commotion (Part-4) [Fugaku Uchiha: Jealous Dad Energy Activated]

Team 1 turned around and saw that it was the Akimichi proctor and a few of the Chunin who had been at the training ground earlier.

The Akimichi was the first to snap out of his stupor.

“What the hell are you brats doing here already? If you wanted to gate keep the entrance, at least hide properly while doing it!” he barked, half annoyed and half confused.

Without missing a beat, Ren calmly reached into his belt ...

Promotion Commotion (Part-3) [Speedrunning the Chunin Exam (No Glitches, Just Skill)]

The written exam had been almost laughably easy for Ren. Most of the questions tested knowledge well beyond standard Genin training, but with his stats and intelligence level, he was done in just twenty minutes. After finishing, he leaned back in his chair and casually scanned the room.

He noted that the number of examinee had already thinned out, every few minutes, a proctor would call out a name and eject a full team for chea...
