Naruto: Getting Stronger by Drinking

Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju, once invincible in their era, were both Kekkei Genkai shinobi.

Going further back to the distant Warring States period, those who had left a profound mark on the history of the Shinobi World were all Kekkei Genkai shinobi.

But Saiki Yuu had no Kekkei Genkai at all—only himself and a single blade!

During the Third Shinobi World War, with one man and one blade, he cut Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure into submission.

Sunagakure was cleaved in half by a single stroke from Saiki Yuu!

Even now that the rebuilt Sunagakure was complete, parts of its terrain remained uneven—the eternal scars left behind by Saiki Yuu's blade.

Saiki Yuu had slaughtered his way right to Iwagakure's doorstep.

Even Iwagakure's natural defensive barrier—the rocky terrain it had always been proud of—had been forcibly hacked flat by Saiki Yuu and had yet to recover.

They could only beg Saiki Yuu for peace to avoid the fate of their village being destroyed.

The Tailed Beasts in the hands of the Three Great Shinobi Villages had also been swept up by Saiki Yuu and captured en masse for Konoha.

Kirigakure, the only village that had not suffered a major blow, had been frightened back to its homeland by Saiki Yuu's terrifying record, where it warily prepared for an attack that might come. ...

After that, using the Tailed Beasts as an opening and backed by his overwhelming strength, Saiki Yuu directly or indirectly ruled the entire Shinobi World!

Konoha's hegemony, Saiki Yuu's hegemony, was thoroughly established across this land.

By now, Saiki Yuu's influence had spread to every corner of the world!

Even the distant lands of ice and snow
