They arrived home in a tense silence.
Karin was the first one inside. Yuzu was in the entryway, trembling, with Isshin trying to wrap her in a blanket.
"It was there! A monster! Dad, it was like the one from Ichigo's room!"
"Shh, shh, my love! It was just a big dog! A very ugly dog!"
Karin walked past them without a word. "Yuzu, go to your room. You're safe. Lock the door."
"But Karin...!"
"Now!"
Yuzu flinched at her sister's tone and obeyed, running up the stairs.
Isshin turned to Ichigo and R...

"I hate this body."
Ichigo didn't even look up from his math homework. They were in the living room, where he was at the coffee table and Rukia was sitting rigidly on the couch, wearing her school uniform.
"I heard you the first twenty times, Rukia. Shut up, I'm trying to figure out why the cosine of 'x' matters."
"I'm not kidding, Ichigo." Rukia shifted, and the couch cushion made a dull sound. "It's... heavy. Are human bodies supposed to feel like this? I feel like my whole body is heavy, like it's hard to move. And the b...

The room fell silent, broken only by the sound of the tarp hitting the wall frame, while Karin kept aiming through the hole.
"He's watching us," she repeated, her voice low and inflectionless.
Ichigo moved closer to her, narrowing his eyes toward where she was looking, and saw that the black cat was motionless on the utility pole, a dark silhouette against the steadily brightening sky.
"It's just a damn cat, Karin," Ichigo said, rubbing his face, since he was exhausted and his patience had run out hours ago. "It's probably ...

The tarp they had gotten from the garden shed slapped against the broken frame of the wall, a dull, rhythmic sound that echoed in the silent house.
It was four in the morning.
Ichigo was sitting on the floor of his wrecked room, his back against the only remaining intact wall, and while he couldn't sleep, he hadn't tried either.
The silence in his head was the problem.
Before, there was always noise. It wasn't always the maniacal laugh he had heard during the fight, but there was a kind of static.
Now, thanks to...

Author's Note: I completely rewrote chapter 2, it has nothing to do with the previous chapter

Ichigo closed his eyes. Great, another disaster. Just what I needed.
"Hey!" Rukia's voice sounded again from the closet, this time louder and muffled by the wood. "What is that noise?! You're leaving me here! Get me out!"
"Not now!" Ichigo hissed at the door. "It's my dad! Stay in there and don't make a single sound!"
"You can't give me orders, human! I am...!"

Hey everyone!
First off, apologies for being quiet today. I was busy mapping out the future arcs for my stories, and... well, I got hit with a sudden burst of inspiration and ended up starting a new Bleach story XD. Hope you can forgive me!
Now, onto the important update. As I mentioned before, I'm holding a special raffle for you all.

"So the area of a triangle is base times height... and then what?"
"Divided by two, Ichigo. I've told you three times." Karin didn't look up from her phone.
"No, Yuzu said that. You just said 'Google it.'" Ichigo tapped the eraser against his math notebook. "This is useless. Why do I have to know this?"
"So you don't end up cleaning toilets," Karin muttered.

Dealing with ghosts and third-rate thugs was my routine. Seeing a Soul Reaper in my room and fighting a giant Hollow was... intense. But this? This is spiritual paperwork hell.
I thought my only problem was controlling the psycho living in my head. Turns out my real destiny is to be the spiritual "Ground Zero"—a fancy name for being a walking catalyst who needs... to bond.
And how do I do that? Apparently, through "Soul Pacts" which, to my surprise, are very physical.

The Konoha inn designated for the Suna delegation was imposing, with a clean, dark wood facade and Suna guards at the door.
Naruto stopped across the street, half-hidden behind a vegetable stall.
"Alright. Plan in motion," he whispered to himself, giving himself a loud slap on the cheeks to focus. The sting centered him for a second.
He straightened up, trying to look official. I'm the Chūnin liaison. I'm responsible. I'm... diplomatic. A cool diplomat.
He reviewed the lie one last time in a low voice. "Hell...

"Well, that went better than I expected."
Temari's voice came out muffled from the futon, where she had curled into a ball, completely wrapped in Hinata's sheet, and she refused to look at the door where Shizune had just fled.
Naruto stood in the middle of the living room, feeling like a complete intruder in his own house, and the silence left behind by Shizune's slamming door was terrible, with only the drip of a faucet in the kitchen audible.
He scratched his cheek. "Uh..."
Temari didn't move.

Shizune's voice cut through the door, sharp and full of a worry that sounded dangerously close to authority.
Naruto and Temari froze, identical terror on their faces.
"Don't open it!" Temari hissed. Her voice was a hoarse whisper, full of panic, as she stood in the middle of the bedroom, wrapped in Hinata's sheet and looking like a hostage in her own nightmare.

Hey everyone,
Great news! We officially hit the Power Stone goal, which means another chapter is being released. Thank you all so much for the support!
Just as a reminder, every 60 Power Stones unlocks an extra chapter. (I'm still not entirely sure what they're for, but it sounds gratifying XD).
Anyway, on a side note, I want to apologize if I've been a bit slow. I got sick again, but I haven't stopped uploading chapters because the last time I was sick for three days, I lost $600 😭.
Thanks again for everything!

Hey everyone,
I wanted to post a huge thank you to all of you. The support from the Webnovel community has been incredible, especially with the flood of Power Stones we've received. I've also seen a massive and very welcome increase in subscriptions to The Unrivaled King's Throne tier, which is just amazing.
As I promised, I'll be releasing extra chapters for every 60 Power Stones we hit, and I absolutely intend to keep that promise. Thank you all so much for your support.

I said I'd release an extra chapter for every 60 Power Stones, and you all met the goal. So, here is the bonus chapter.
Just a reminder: For every 60 Power Stones we hit, I will release another extra chapter.
Thanks for the support!

The sound was deafening.
It was the explosion of a tree weighing many tons, expanding from a marble to its full size, impacting the wall of debris with the force of an artillery shell.
The ground shook so violently that Izuku was thrown against the inner wall.
"AAAAH!!"
A sharp scream tore from his throat, distorted by the respirator. The pain from his broken ankle, which he had been managing, skyrocketed until it became unbearable. Momo's splint cracked under the new pressure.
"The wall! The wall has fallen!" O...

Jiraiya turned, his face pale with disbelief, pointing a trembling finger at Tsunade. She stood behind the splintered remains of what used to be her desk, arms crossed.
"Hime. Are you kidding me?!"
"Do I look like I'm kidding, Jiraiya?" Tsunade's voice was flat.
"You're insulting my legend!" he roared, his cheeks starting to flush. "I am the gallant Sannin of Mount Myoboku! The Toad Sage! A master spy! An internationally renowned author! A shinobi whose name makes entire nations tremble!"

Later that same night.
The silence was heavy, broken only by Shizune's soft, exhausted snores. She was sprawled on the small sofa in the corner, mouth open, a thread of drool connecting her to a cushion. She had fallen unconscious three hours ago, after forty-eight straight hours of organizing the reconstruction teams.

A single vein throbbed rhythmically on Tsunade's forehead.
She was sitting behind the Hokage's desk, or rather, leaning back in the chair with her bare feet propped up on the mountain of reports covering the wooden surface. Her blonde hair, now vibrant and young, was pulled into a messy bun from which stray strands escaped. She had a prominent splotch of dried ink on her left cheek.
She stared intently at an unrolled scroll.

The sound of boots splashing on wet leaves and broken branches broke the unnatural silence of the forest.
"DEKU-KUN!"
Ochako's voice was a choked cry, loaded with panic. She burst into the clearing, skidding on the mud, followed a second later by Momo.
Both stopped dead.
"What... what happened here?" Ochako whispered, covering her mouth.
The clearing was a giant crater. Trees that had been there for decades were now...

Naruto woke up with a jolt.
He was happy, curled up in his bed, ready to sleep until noon. Sunlight streamed in through his window. He stretched, feeling... incredible. Full of energy.
An insistent knock sounded on his door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
He jumped out of bed, wearing only his pajama pants, and opened the door. Shizune was there, with a nervous smile and a bento in her hand.
"Naruto kun, good morning."

Winds of Change in Suna! Temari's Resolve!
Temari narrowed her eyes.
Her left arm was in a clean sling, a parting gift from Shizune. The Konoha escort had left her at the border of the Land of Fire two days ago. The journey alone across the desert had been... quiet.
They released me. Just like that.
Tsunade had given her a sealed scroll. "Go," she had said. No ceremony. A prisoner of war from an invading nation. She just let her go.
She remembered Naruto's voice, which stopped her as sh...

The hospital room was silent, except for the distant sound of hammers and the whisper of the breeze in the trees. Temari was sitting on the bed, her left arm in a sling. Her giant fan was leaning in the corner, a useless reminder of her power.
She looked out the window at the village she had tried to destroy.
She was bored. Furious. And, although she would never admit it, she was scared.
"Halt."
The muffled voice of a guard sounded from the hallway.
"Hokage's orders. No one can..."
"But the Hokage sent me!...

A groan.
That was the first sound Naruto registered.
The second was a sharp pain at the base of his neck.
He opened his eyes.
The morning sunlight hit him full in the face, bright and unforgiving. He blinked, feeling the dust on his eyelashes. He was disoriented. This wasn't his bed. This wasn't his apartment.
This was... a couch. A terribly uncomfortable leather couch.
He sat up abruptly, or tried to.
"Agh... my neck..."
He looked around, his vision clearing. The Hokage's office.

The noise was constant.
A hammer struck. Then another. A saw screamed against the damp wood. In the distance, someone shouted an order, and a team of men answered with a grunt. Konoha was open, wounded, but it was working.
Near the hospital perimeter, next to a pile of freshly cut wood that reached a man's waist, two genin stood. They had been there for three hours.
One of them, the taller one, kicked a loose stone. The sound was sharp and annoying.
"This is ridiculous!"

"Kamui Woods."
Ibara repeated the name in a low voice. Her eyes were fixed on the gray wall of the private gym, but she wasn't seeing it. She was seeing wooden branches.
"A formidable opponent," Ibara continued, almost in a murmur to herself. "His dominion over wood is a blessing he uses with great skill and precision. It will be a test worthy of my efforts."
Izuku, standing at her side, frowned. He wasn't looking at her, but at the empty space in front of him, visualizing the combat.
