The Ghost of Portugal

its the year 2014 14 Year old João Félix is a prodigious young talent playing in FC Porto's youth academy. Though physically undersized, he demonstrates exceptional spatial intelligence, technique, and tactical awareness. His teammates call him “O Mago” (The Magician) for the way he creates opportunities from impossible angles. His family is supportive but modest—his father a teacher, his brother Hugo a fellow academy player. But João’s rise halts abruptly when he is cut from the FC Porto youth system, with the reason cited as “developmental concerns” (a euphemism for being too small and not physically developed enough). The decision devastates him. Suddenly, the player everyone was talking about disappears from the football world. Teammates stop replying to his messages. His name fades from league records. No clubs call. João becomes invisible. He returns to Viseu, haunted by shame and self-doubt. He refuses to train. Watches old match footage in silence. The once-prodigy now battles depression and isolation. Then, during a solo jog, João notices a man watching him from afar. This man, Tiago, introduces himself as a former analyst from Porto. He presents João with a notebook—filled with diagrams and data focused solely on João’s off-the-ball movements. Tiago offers him something no one else has: belief and a new system of training. He calls it “Jogo Sem Bola”—the game without the ball. João accepts. He will train in secret. No spotlight. No club. No recognition. Just the work.

Naruto: the Uchiha Rules the World

“Kindness built upon others’ suffering is the most hypocritical kind of kindness.” — Uzumaki Kushina ——— A bloodstained Uchiha boy was carrying three human heads, walking toward the main gate. All three heads wore masks, their faces unrecognizable. This boy was Rengoku, who had rushed back from the Kusagakure after being rescued by Muku and Ryuzetsu. He exchanged one piece of intel for a special rapid treatment. He didn’t dare to stop, not even to change clothes, and headed straight for Konoha. Rengoku arrived at the village gate, and gatekeepers Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu immediately stepped forward to confirm his identity. “Uchiha Rengoku, mission in the Kusagakure,” While flipping through the file in his hand, Hagane Kotetsu glanced at the heads. “Did something unexpected happen?” ——— “Looks like I made it in time,” Hearing the clan meeting had just ended, Rengoku also let out a breath of relief. He had been rushing all the way, not even changing clothes, and finally made it back before the night of the clan extermination. The Uchiha clan meeting had already concluded. Konoha had already learned from Itachi about Uchiha’s planned coup. Danzo had probably already given Itachi the order to annihilate the clan. Itachi was likely contacting Tobi in the past few days, preparing to take action. But since he had made it back in time, there was still a chance to gamble. ——— Rengoku, this was just the beginning. As long as he protected the Uchiha clan, the clan members would provide him with an endless supply of chakra. The rise of the Uchiha was the path to his own strength. He would ultimately become the god of the Uchiha. And even, the GOD OF THIS WORLD. ═❀═ITS A TRANSLATION═❀═ RAW: 火影忍者:宇智波统治世界
