Chapter 786 Episode 88 of Naruto Shippuden!
_________________
Across the entire world of the seas, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. After the announcement of the 88th episode of Naruto Shippuden, people could not wait to watch it, especially the numerous Naruto fans scattered across all the islands.
Everyone was in a state of eager anticipation, waiting anxiously to see what the new episode would bring, especially since the previous episode had left them on the edge of their seats, eager to know what would happen next.
The world of Naruto, full of ninjas, tailed beasts, unusual phenomena, conflicts, and wars between the hidden ninja villages, was a world that many pirates, hunters, and ordinary people wished they could live in!
…
In Ohara, Monday morning was lively. Those who were working focused on their tasks, while others enjoyed reading their favorite manga. Some found endless comfort in reading the new novels that had started selling in large quantities at the Art Store. Life was running smoothly for the island's residents, who had surpassed the Buster Call calamity without it ever happening in reality.
Well, it happened in the manga world, but with Rob and his Art Store, the World Government couldn't do what they used to do in the past anymore, nor could they do what they were supposed to do in the future as shown in the manga.
…
Inside the great library in the Tree of Knowledge, Professor Clover was hearing the voice of the past once again through the countless poneglyphs he had obtained over the years of peace provided by Rob.
Since the death of his older brother at the hands of government agents and his own survival by choosing to be a coward and deny any real connection to his brother, he had felt deep regret. This regret drove him to intensely research the voice of the past."The voice of the world submerged in the depths of the sea..."
Professor Clover muttered under his breath.
As he was contemplating in silence, Zadie's lively voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Clover-san! A new episode of Naruto is about to start. Are you staying here? We're going to the Nature Pub to watch."
The Nature Pub Zadie mentioned was a famous spot with no building, just chairs on the green grass and open air facing the Art Store's screen, where residents enjoyed watching their favorite anime outdoors instead of going into the Art Store.
"Oh, is it a new episode of Naruto then? Let's go watch it. I hope it's as exciting as the last episode."
The previous episode ended with Shikamaru finally overcoming Hidan, but everyone knew Hidan was immortal, so viewers wanted to see how Shikamaru would deal with that.
…
In the heart of Ohara, crowds gathered in front of the massive screen that appeared above the high-end Art Store building. There was a diverse group of people, from children to adults, all glued to the screen, waiting for the episode to begin.
Rob stood on his balcony in the Art Palace, observing the crowd's enthusiastic reaction, "It seems people here can't get enough of anime," he said with a smile.
"Why don't you give them more anime then?" Olivia said, also smiling.
"Oh, isn't Demon Slayer, Attack On Titan, Naruto, and One Piece enough already?"
"After Akame Ga Kill ended, many want to replace it with a new anime."
"Is that so… Well, I'll see about that."
…
After a while, silence deepened over the island as the viewers' emotions swayed with Shikamaru, who found Asuma's lighter after burying Hidan alive.
The scene was full of emotions, especially after Shikamaru had just told Hidan he believed in the Will of Fire.
"I bet he'll start smoking," Olivia said, watching Rob light another cigarette at the scene.
"Well, he was his mentor after all. A teacher doesn't only teach good habits to his students; he can teach bad habits too." He smiled while blowing smoke from his cigarette.
…
Wano Country:
Thousands of miles away, in Wano Country, families of ninjas, samurais, and even ordinary people were engrossed in the events of episode 88, which revolved around the pursuit of two Akatsuki members, Hidan and Kakuzu.
Shikamaru's ability to bring down Hidan on his own thrilled viewers and elevated his status in the hearts of Wano's ninjas, making them consider him a top-tier ninja worth learning from.
"I've never seen a ninja as smart as Shikamaru! What a man!" Raizo was crying after seeing how the battle ended.
"Finally, we're done with Hidan! He was so annoying, damn it!" Denjiro commented with disgust.
"Now the next one must be Kakuzu, right?" Kin'emon said.
"You guys are being emotional… Who said Kakuzu doesn't have an emotional past just like any character there? Don't judge characters by their appearance and backgrounds alone," the former shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki, spoke up.
Hearing this, Oden smiled and said, "Well, let's find out."
The Flower Capital was extremely quiet at this moment because everyone was focused on the episode's events.
As the minutes passed, the scenes shifted back to Naruto and his companions fighting Kakuzu, who was incredibly resilient in battle.
…
Elsewhere, the Moby Dick was sailing smoothly through the Calm Belt towards an unknown destination.
On the deck, the scene of Naruto creating the Wind Style: Rasen-Shuriken was reflected in Whitebeard's eyes once again.
"What a truly powerful technique… I'm looking forward to seeing its effects," said Whitebeard.
"Do you think it's strong, Oyaji?"
"Certainly, this technique could kill an Admiral if they didn't use Haki for protection."
"Look, here's the crucial moment… Watch carefully how this strike will affect Kakuzu."
The eyes of Whitebeard's sons widened as they watched Kakuzu being deceived.

Episode's Events:
—————————
"There!"
Kakuzu thought he had managed to get the real Naruto, but just seconds later, Naruto vanished in a puff of smoke, revealing it was a clone.
"What?! That was a clone?!"
Behind him, three Narutos appeared, one of them holding the dangerous Rasen-Shuriken technique.
(He mixed himself in with the fakes?!)
Kakuzu thought before being hit directly by the technique.
"Eat this!!"
A devastating explosion of sharp winds occurred in a radius of 100 meters, leaving Kakashi, Kabuto, Choji, and Ino completely stunned.
"The blast's coming!"
Kabuto warned.
Naruto fell a few meters from the explosion, which was ravaging Kakuzu's immortal body and destroying all his hearts.
(The number of attacks was unreal. Even with my Sharingan, I couldn't count them all.)
(What a technique!)
Kakashi was amazed as he looked at Naruto.
"Ho-"
"Incredible!"
Choji and Ino were both astonished.
(Naruto… You… You really have…) thought Kakashi.
"There… I did it!" Naruto smiled a victorious smile, giving a thumbs up.
•———•———•———•———•
With this, the episode ended, leaving the viewers in awe.
Whitebeard's crew was in shock.
"What an amazing technique!" exclaimed Marco.
"Gurarara! I told you."
"This technique can rival a simple quake punch in terms of power."
"What a good episode, it has lifted many negative feelings from my heart."
"Shikamaru avenged Asuma, and Naruto managed to take down that scoundrel Kakuzu… This is good. I'm looking forward to the next episode."
"And I'm looking forward to finding that treacherous kid."
The ship was heading straight towards finding Teach and those with him.
