Chapter 15: Kakashi's Confusion
He had only wanted to quietly train until he reached the level of Jōnin, but now he had been forced to kill someone, disrupting the rhythm of his training. For a moment, Kaede was at a loss for words.
Should he destroy the body to cover it up...?
There probably...
Chapter 14: Slaying a Chūnin
After purchasing ninja tools and obtaining the training method, everything was ready. Kaede took a nap first. In his accelerated time state, he woke up after about two and a half hours in the real world. After having a meal, he headed to his usual training spot...

Chapter 13: The Eight Gates Released Formation
It didn’t take long.
Kaede quickly found Might Duy.
Just as he expected, after returning from a mission and having dinner with Guy, the two had begun their training. They were currently running laps around Konoha.
Kaede thought for a moment...
Chapter 12: Setting a Small Goal
The surge in strength naturally brought with it a sense of joy.
But that joy didn’t last long before Kaede Hatake calmed down again. He knew that despite the title, a Special Jōnin was in an awkward position.
Their overall abilities weren’t balanced enough to...
Chapter 11: Chakra Flow
Although the Eight Gates Technique is relatively easy to get started with even Genin can begin developing it, it wasn’t something Kaede could fully master in just a short moment.
He did manage to locate the eight positions of the Gates within his body, but the real...
Chapter 10: Shisui's Shock
Noticing the commotion on Yūhi Kurenai’s side, Kaede turned his head. The moment his gaze landed on Shisui, he recognized him and tilted his head slightly as he said:
“I don’t think Kurenai meant to question the Uchiha clan’s prestige. Besides, isn’t it rather...
Chapter 9: Obito and Shisui
Ninja Academy.
It wasn’t time for morning classes yet. The training field was already noisy, filled with kids of all sizes. In the center of the crowd, a chaotic scuffle was going on.
"Fire Style! Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
A young boy formed hand seals and blew towards...
Her knees buckled under her as she collapsed in Rupert's arms, her sobs growing weaker until the world around her faded to black.
Vivian's senses were fuzzy, the sharp ache in her head clouding reality. A voice, distant yet familiar, kept calling her name. "Vivian… Vivian… wake up!" Someone was...
Chapter 8: Team Assignment Confirmed
Hokage’s office.
On Hiruzen Sarutobi’s desk sat a file detailing Kakashi's recent missions and records of his behavior.
For the third time now, Kakashi had gotten into conflicts with new teams, making it difficult for him to function normally in missions...
Chapter 7: Kakashi and Might Guy
“This really isn’t fair, you know.”
Kakashi gave Kaede a deadpan look. “No wonder I’ve never been able to beat you. Having a Kekkei Genkai is basically cheating.”
Kaede chuckled. “Since when has using a Kekkei Genkai in battle counted as cheating? But if it...
Chapter 6: Kekkei Genkai?
Konoha Village.
The mountain forest behind the village.
Now that Kakashi had become a Chūnin, and Kaede’s strength had long surpassed the Chūnin level, their training duels could no longer be held in their small courtyard—there simply wasn’t enough space to fight...
Aeryn had stopped sleeping.
Not because she couldn't. But because she feared what sleep would bring. She was having nightmares; days for now.
The dreams had begun just days after the binding ceremony. At first, they came in fragments...smears of red across a sunless sky, hands stretched toward...
Chapter 5: Kakashi's Challenge
Just as Kaede was about to resume his training, he suddenly sensed something. He looked up toward the top of the courtyard wall and said:
“Seems like you've gotten used to not using the front door.”
Standing atop the outer wall was a familiar figure, with the...
Threadmarks: Chapter 4: 72 Hours of Daily Training
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Kaede’s fists struck the wooden post again and again, each blow landing with a heavy, muffled thud. Deep dents formed in the tough, specially reinforced wood, clearly showing the impact of his punches.
When it came to taijutsu training, Kaede was nothing if not diligent...
Kaede’s movements had not escaped Obito’s watchful eyes.
When Obito saw Kaede close his eyes and ignore him, his eyelids twitching slightly as if deliberately provoking him, he couldn’t help but clench his fists.
“Damn it... what’s he so smug about…”
“A guy who got left behind by his own...
