One Piece: Rinnegan Is My Golden Finger.

Hiyori's bodyguard approached Chiga and Kalifa, bowed respectfully, and said,

"My lady is attending a banquet at General Orochi's mansion. She would like to invite both of you to accompany her. Would you be willing?"

Kalifa remained silent, glancing up at Chiga. If he was interested, she would naturally go with him.

Chiga thought it was a good opportunity. Kurozumi Orochi was a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user—an ability wasted on someone like him.

Moreover, his name and fruit always reminded Chiga of a certain shameless snake. Of course, the two were vastly different in both appearance and personality.

If Orochi proved troublesome, well, it just meant Chiga's collection might gain another Devil Fruit.

Smiling, Chiga said,

"Sure. It's a good chance to check out the General's mansion and see how it compares to a regular office."

With that, he took Kalifa's hand and walked toward Kozuki Hiyori.

The bodyguard blinked in confusion. General's office? What even is that?

On the street, Hiyori was delighted when she saw Chiga approaching.

She gave a graceful curtsy and spoke softly,

"Sir, it's my honor to attend the banquet with you. You may call me Komurasaki."

"Hm? Madam, do you know me?"

"No, but I felt your presence earlier and was intrigued. A powerful man like you—I'm sure even General Orochi would want to meet you."

"Heh, I'm not interested in any general. I just want to see the mansion for some fun."

Hiyori's heart leapt with joy at Chiga's casual disrespect toward Orochi. If this man didn't care for Orochi's power or title, perhaps she really could use him to kill that tyrant.

Even though her hatred for Orochi ran deep, Hiyori still said,

"Sir, please mind your words. The General has a... temper."

Chiga didn't respond. He just looked at her with a faint smile.

Hiyori shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. Those purple eyes—his Rinnegan—felt like they could peer straight into her soul.

She quickly turned her head, hiding her unease, and walked ahead, maintaining a composed front.

"I still don't know your name, sir."

"Uchiha Chiga."

"So it's Sir Chiga. You're not from around here, are you? Are you visiting with your lover?"

Kalifa blushed at the word "lover" and hurried to explain,

"We're not—"

But Chiga cut her off,

"We're not here for sightseeing."

Then he gently squeezed her hand. Kalifa glanced at him shyly, heart fluttering. He hadn't denied the lover part—only the reason for their visit.

Whether intentional or not, for Kalifa, this trip to Wano was already worth it.

Hiyori caught their eye contact, and a flicker of envy passed through her. Love like that was something she could no longer afford.

But remembering her father, Kozuki Oden, and her missing brother, Momonosuke, her eyes turned sharp with resolve. Vengeance was her only focus now.

Hiyori's expression softened back into formality as she asked,

"Then, may I ask what brings you here, sir?"

"Official business," Chiga replied flatly. "And to kill someone."

Kill someone? Hiyori flinched. She didn't care about the "official business" part, but that line chilled her.

To come to Wano just to kill someone? And with Chiga's overwhelming presence, the only worthy targets could be… Orochi? Or… Kaido?

Her breath hitched at the thought of Kaido. She hated him more than anyone—for boiling her father alive—but his monstrous strength made him a source of paralyzing fear.

Even if Chiga was powerful, she couldn't imagine anyone killing Kaido. She only hoped he was here for Orochi.

Besides, from the aura Chiga gave off, taking down Orochi would be nothing.

But what Hiyori couldn't have imagined was that the target Chiga intended to kill... wasn't Orochi or Kaido—

—it was her brother, Momonosuke.

Wano Country – General's Mansion

Inside the mansion, Kurozumi Orochi, with his slick purple hairline and gaudy golden crown, grinned lecherously as he rushed toward Hiyori, arms outstretched.

But this time, she stepped away coldly and glanced behind her—at Chiga.

Orochi paused when he noticed Chiga and Kalifa. Chiga's foreign appearance annoyed him. But when his eyes landed on Kalifa, they lit up with surprise. She was stunning. Where had such a beauty come from?

Choosing to let Hiyori go for now, he asked,

"Komurasaki, who are these guests?"

"This is Uchiha Chiga, and that's his companion, Kalifa."

"Uchiha Chiga? That name sounds familiar…"

Protected by Kaido, Orochi had long ceased caring about the World Government or Marines. Beyond Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the three Marine Admirals, he paid no attention to outside matters.

The name tugged at something in his memory, but he shrugged it off. Instead, he leered at Kalifa and said,

"Well, since you're Komurasaki's guests, come in. That Chiga fellow can find a seat himself—Miss Kalifa will drink with me!"

His disgusting tone immediately infuriated Kalifa. Outside of Chiga, she was indifferent to all men—and this pig dared speak to her like that?

Her long legs tensed under the kimono, ready to deliver a deadly Rankyaku—

—but before she could move, a terrifying repulsive force exploded outward.

Orochi, frozen mid-smile, was sent flying. The impact flattened the entire building into rubble.

In the eye of the destruction, Chiga stood calmly in a clean circle of untouched space, flanked by a stunned Hiyori and a composed Kalifa.

The crashing sound alerted the mansion's guards. Low-ranking samurai rushed over, panicking when they saw the ruins of Orochi's residence.

One of them pointed at Chiga and shouted,

"Who are you?! Where is General Orochi?!"

Chiga didn't respond. He simply stared coldly at the shouting man.

The soldier felt something cold crawl down his spine. That gaze—those eyes—froze him with fear.

And then, without a word, the soldier's body swelled—

BOOM!

He burst like a firework, his remains misting through the air.

The other soldiers screamed in horror. But before they could run, they too met Chiga's gaze—

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Under the clear Wano sky, bursts of red exploded like bloody fireworks, turning the General's mansion into a graveyard of terror.

The newest chapters I uploaded on p@treon are lit. No cap, I'm not even tryna run an ad for it.

We just hit that juicy part of Imu's backstory — yeah, it's fanfiction so it's all made-up.

But here's a little teaser : Otsutsuki. Karma.Ten tails.

And nah, I'm not saying Imu is an Otsutsuki... but I'm not saying he ain't either.

Also by Karma I meant, those things from the anime :Boruto.
