Manga Underground v3.1

Sorry to start this in the middle of a series, but…

Kurokami ch. 45-58
Keita and Kuro find themselves trapped by Hiyou and Shinobu in a trap where tera-hungry dogs try to rip them apart. After a short fight, Kuro falls to the dogs, which proceed to suck out her tera. Keita, seeing no other way out, disengages his synchro so as to be able to use his Thousand. After they destroy the dogs, they break out of the trap and make their way to the marina to capture a boat.
Meanwhile, on the main island, Makana has been captured by Hiyou’s tribal ends, who force her to unlock the seal put upon the sacred stone in its center. Hiyou arrives on the island and begins the powering-up procedure. Kakuma and Keita’s grandfather turn up on the island, having freshly made their contract. A new, improved Kakuma now proceeds to attack the tribal ends. But the leader is different: he has trained under Keita’s grandfather. Both of them now fight, Keita’s grandfather sustaining injuries after the guy pulls out a gun and starts shooting. Kakuma manages to get him behind a rock, where Keita’s grandfather tells to finish things in one blow. Kakuma agrees, and emerges from behind her rock. As she comes at him, the tribal end realizes she’s actually speeded up; before he knows what has happened, Kakuma’s Exceed, Shining Gallop, hits him like an express train. She carries him with blazing speed through the air over a crevasse, where she throws him down.
Keita and Kuro have by this time reached the island and see Kakuma’s Exceed. Kuro walks up to the gloating Kakuma and slaps her in the face. She accuses her of being careless in the way she uses her partner. Keita’s grandpa shrugs it off, and tells them to hurry. As they set off, Hiyou begins to activate the stone.
A trap stops him from doing so, however. As he tries to break it down, it phases Kakuma, Kuro, Keita and his grandpa into the battlefield instead. Unable to control her rage, Kakuma attacks him with her new-found Exceed, only to be stopped by him. Instead, he destroys her by using his Exceed, causing Keita’s grandpa to collapse as well. As Keita rushes to his aid, Kuro challenges Hiyou to fight her. The latter agrees only too gladly, and initiates his synchro with Shinobu. He then threatens Kuro that he will like to see what happens when a “tomboy is” ahem, sexually harassed, “by a man”.
As Kuro and Hiyou prepare to fight, Keita intervenes with a discharge of his Thousand, giving Kuro opening with which she manages to damage Hiyou. Suddenly, however, Keita is interrupted by Shinobu, who stops him from using his Thousand. Keita asks her to give up the fight in turn, but is told that she can’t. Then, out comes the sordid story: Hiyou tells Kuro and Keita that Shinobu is a minus root, an Alter Ego who has killed the Root and the other Doppel Liner, and has assumed their power.
Meanwhile, Shinobu removes the Thousand from Keita’s finger, and her real self comes out. She confesses to having killed Keita’s mother, and tells him she did it to survive. Enraged at the fact that his mother was to be the Root, Keita leaps at her, but is stopped by her resemblance to his mother, which gives her the chance to hit him with a rock. Realizing his imminent downfall, Kuro rushes to help him, but suddenly realizes that Hiyou is not in front of her. From behind her, he taunts her by telling her that she has left the spirit stone wide open. As Kuro races to stop him, Hiyou puts his hand into the spirit stone, and the power begins to flow.
As negative tera floods the land, calamities begin to occur one after the other. Severe earthquakes shatter the terrain, and the ocean dries up. Bad luck flows through the land, killing thousands.
In the cave, Hiyou gloats over his success in flooding the land with negative tera. But Kuro stops him in his tracks. Before he realizes it, she attacks him with an improved speed and deadly accuracy. Hiyou slowly realizes that she’s drawing energy from Keita’s anger. As Kuro prepares her Megaexe, she suddenly finds herself powerless and helpless. Looking for the reason, she realizes what has happened: Shinobu has grabbed hold of him, and is sucking his tera. As Hiyou grabs hold of her and taunts her, Shinobu continues to suck the tera right out of Keita. He tries mightily to resist her, but the resistance causes him more pain that just letting her suck. Eventually, after a long struggle, he succumbs to his weakness. Kuro also is viciously tortured, after which she falls limply to the ground.
Meanwhile, both Kakuma and Keita’s grandfather awake. As they become aware of their surroundings, they realize the helpnessness of the situation. Kakuma bemoans the loss of the spirit stone, but suddenly a bright light radiates out from the stump. With a jolt, Kakuma realizes there is still tera left in the stone, and diverts her tera to awaken it.
She soon realizes however that all her tera will be required to reactivate the stone completely. She channels all of her tera into it, leaving behind the now-conscious Makana with the words, “You know what to do.” As Makana grieves over her sister, Kuro rises again, fully healed by the stone’s tera. She counsels Makana to stop crying and start fighting. Then she promises Hiyou she will avenge Kakuma’s death.
Meanwhile, Keita recovers from his faintness, to find his grandfather towering over him. As he asks the old man where his mother is, the latter says that he must stop living in the past and embrace his future. Suddenly, his father is pushed back by an attack by Shinobu. Now totally mad, Keita punches her smack in the face. As she falls back, she asks him why he hit his mother, to which Keita replies that she is not his mother and that he will no longer dwell in the past. With that, he and Kuro synchro, now far more powerful than ever.
As Hiyou realizes his danger, he calls to Shinobu for help. But for some reason, Shinobu has lost her ability to suck tera, and watches helplessly as Hiyou eats a full-frontal Megaexe. He survives, however, with a severely disfigured face. Seeing no recourse, Keita transfers his tera to Kuro, who then prepares the ultimate weapon: Gigaexe, a greater Exceed. With it, she destroys Hiyou one and for all. Shinobu collapses simultaneously.
Keita, Kuro and Makana’s troubles are not over though. A wall breaks down because of the force of the Exceed, and the cave begins to flood with water. Keita tries in vain to save Shinobu, but she dies in his arms. Saddened, he leads the two girls and himself to an opening. As the water threatens to engulf them, ropes are sent down from above. As they reach the open air, they see around them reinforcements from the TNO.
Meanwhile, in Okinawa, the tsunami alert is lifted and the wounded Akane lies in a shelter. Suddenly she realizes that Keita and the others might be back, and rushes out to Keita’s grandfather’s house to wait for them. There she finds them waiting for her.
A few days later, they visit the island of the Hiba clan to pay their respects to the fallen. Seeing them, Makana rushes over to them and she and Akane begin to pick out flowers. The leader of the reinforcements walks over to Keita and Kuro and proposes that they should join the TNO to better enable them to protect Akane. Keita refuses, and beats up Kuro when she appears to be dithering.
As they are leaving, Keita hears a voice behind him. He turns around to see, far away on the island, the souls of his grandfather, mother and all the other dead smiling at him. He realizes that they had been protecting him, and says goodbye to them.

Bleach chapter 343

Wow!!! What a new twist!
As the revitalized Yammy comes into the fray, he requests that he be allowed to help Ulquiorra against Ichigo. However, Ulquiorra refuses, and instead tells him to go deal with the captains below.
The Lolicars, seeing an ally, try to approach him, but he brushes them off like flies. The second one tries to fight, but is simply smashed by his bulk. Then as he turns to the helpless Orihime…surprise, surprise! Guess who’s back?
Ishida fires his bow at the hulking Arrancar’s back. Yammy dodges, but Ishida tells him to look underneath him. As he does, Yammy just blows up, all thanks to a ‘land mine for Arrancar’ that Kurotsuchi had apparently given Ishida.

Naruto chapter 433

His sage techniques at an end, Naruto has reached a seemingly deadly impasse. Seeing his chance, Pain attcks him. But the wise frogs have already thought of something, and they remove a scroll from their armory. Unfolding it, they invoke a reverse summoning jutsu.
Deep inside Myobokuzan, two Naruto clones sit in meditation. One of them disappears, and appears within seconds on the battlefield, fully charged with sage chakra. Apparently this is Naruto’s master plan: to leave clones full of sage chakra behind to be available for calling any time.
With this new force, Naruto prepares another Rasen Shuriken. But just as it’s about to hit the God Realm Pain, the Demon Realm Pain appears and absorbs the blow. Surprised, Naruto now realizes the real fount of Pain’s power in the Man Realm Pain. He and his clones use smoke bombs to hide themselves and launch an attack on the God Realm. However, one of the clones transforms into a Rasen Shuriken and takes down the Demon Realm. Now unprotected, the Rasen Shuriken makes its way unerringly to its aim…
…Only to be dispersed by God Realm, whose power has returned.
But Naruto is unfazed, because his third clone has already taken down the Man Realm. The stage is set for a one-on-one between Naruto and God Realm Pain.
