Chapter 19 Preliminaries
HIRUZEN SARUTOBI
Hiruzen felt elated as he saw so many of leaf’s genin in the preliminaries. This was a good sign for the future of the village. He walked forwards and began his speech.
“Congratulations to all those who have made it thus far. Your presence here is a testament to your skill and perseverance. In the life of a shinobi, the greatest gift he has is his perseverance and the bonds he shares with his com...

DRAGONSTONE
The grey island just on the edge of Kings Landing was much less populated. Yet, the small people were astir. There was tenseness among its residents. Thousands of armed guards were drilling together. Preparing for the looming war. Their side had struck first and drawn first blood. Yet the retaliation was swift and ruthless, and now the Greens had taken their revenge. A son for a son.
Inside the castle, two people sat dressed in black. B...

EDWARD WRIGHT
“I can not believe you hid it from us for all this time. That is very uncool Wright. Very uncool,”
Amy Leighton said to me. Cedric who was sitting by her side nodded at that.
“Amy is right Edward. How could you keep this from us?” Elizabeth also teased me.
I just shook my head at that, explaining for the hundredth time.
“As I have explained previously. There was nothing to hide. We met a co...

Jiraiya-The Toad Sage
Jiraiya watched as ten people reached the tower and completed the second phase of the exam. Three teams from Konoha and a single red-haired kunoichi. A pang of regret shot through him as he looked at her red hair. They were awfully familiar to him and reminded him of a certain hyperactive kunoichi. He looked at his sensei”.
“Are you sure she is an Uzumaki?” he questioned his sensei. Their alliance with ...

SHINSO KEN
I was still alert. Chakra circulating in the coils underneath my skin. I eyed my surrounding warily, even after Orochimaru had vanished. It was only after Hinata nodded at me, that I sheathed my sword. I turned to look at Sasuke and as he barely stood, his leg impaled by an earth spike. He was battered up. He recognized me as he nodded towards me, his shoulders relaxing. The tension leaving his body.
“Thank you,” he...

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
“Alchemy is perhaps the most wonderous art of magic. While the various branches of magic are complex with each of them being governed by certain rules and principles. Yet alchemy is the simplest in this regard as it only has a single fundamental rule.” Dumbledore spoke as he stared at the small batch of students in front of him. All of them paid attention to each of his words.
Dumbledore always felt most at eas...

SASUKE UCHICHA
Sasuke Uchiha approached Naruto, and before he could register, Sasuke made several hand seals.
“Lightning Style: Thundering palm.” And he struck the imposter in the gut. The imposter’s eyes widened and he tried to dodge but he was thrown back. Sakura threw several shuriken at the imposter and he had to jump into the air once more to dodge this gave Sasuke the time to jump across the tree at the back and before...

Thank you all for your support. This idea had been in my mind for quite some time. No schedule for its update. But here is something I cooked up.
RED KEEP
The Red Keep in the southern corner of the seven kingdoms stood and was magnificent as always. The huge castle cast a shadow across the city, whose dwellers felt their horrors grow as the incoming conflict promised to devour them all. For this was not a conflict between regular men. N...

SHINSO KEN
The forest of death whizzed past us as all three of us jumped from one tree to another. The first exam had been easy enough, even without having to cheat I had been able to answer most of the questions. Yet, cheating was quite easy for me. A couple of seals previously given to Hinata and Shino had enabled all of us to share our answers.
“I still can not believe you helped her cheat as well. You do know the huge target...

SASUKE UCHIHA
Sasuke Uchiha observed everyone in the hall. All of the genin applicants had gathered in the hall for the chunin exam. His eyes kept darting through the crowd assessing everyone. Naruto was out there annoying several people with his attitude, while Sakura sat on the ground beside him meditating.
And hadn’t that been a change he was thankful for? After Wave, both Sakura and Kakashi changed. Kakas...

MINERVA MCGONAGALL
“How could this happen? Two years in a row! For the castle to be infiltrated for two years, how could this happen?” She had been distraught when Dumbledore had called the emergency staff meeting. For an imposter to take the place of Alastor and for every one of them to not notice anything was mind-boggling.
She just shook her head and could see the worried expression on the rest of the staff as well. Dumbledo...

TRIGGER WARNING. SOME VIOLENCE AHEAD.
Hinata Hyuga
Hinata had changed. For years she had thought herself hopeless, not suited to her station as the heir to a storied clan of war. She considered herself too mediocre, too complacent for life as a shinobi. She often felt envious watching other people rush forward in their life without such insecurities. But she had changed for the better.
She stood straight along with the rest ...

“Hahh . . . . . Huuh . . Hah,” I panted while looking at the trees in front of me. There were cuts on many of the some of them deep others barely visible. Months had passed since the Wave mission, and Kurenai sensei had started training us quite rigorously after that. We had done several C-rank missions after that but none turned out to be quite as exciting as the first one.
Our strategy with regards to Hinata was w...

The meeting with Dumbledore had gone better than I had anticipated. The freedom to not take lectures was something I had not expected. Now, there was ample time for me to focus on my studies. It was my last year in these magical halls, and I plan to take full advantage of it.
I was walking slowly towards the great hall, recalling the conversation I had just had. It was a gamble, telling him about Moody. Even in my fou...

HIRUZEN SARUTOBI
Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to the mission report from the two teams standing in front of him. Their words registered and painted a picture of events that grew grimmer every second. Facing two elite shinobi on a C-rank mission. This could have easily turned into a disaster. Kakashi’s report had only mentioned the demon brothers and there had been no subsequent report. Suspicious.
He had sent team eight ba...

SHINSO KEN
It had been two days since I had woken up. The bridge’s construction was in its last phases. Team seven and team eight alternated every twelve hours guarding the bridge. Now that the threat had passed it was dull work. I had been cooped up in the Tsunami-san’s house for three days. I had been growing restless. So, I snuck out in the evening, to roam around. I had left a note, so everyone would not worry. Just as I was roam...

Elizabeth felt a little satisfied, watching her friend squirm as all the prefects left the classroom. It was nice to see his plans fail. She saw him slouch into the chair.
“Finally, we are done for the day, I can not handle any more of this! I would rather take Snape’s class over this farce!”
At this, he looked at her, his purplish eyes completely visible, as he had put his glasses on the side.
“I am not forgetting anything, right?”
She looked at him, and he ...

Then a new student entered the compartment. He was tall and lean. He was already dressed in his ro...

Hinata entered the room and found her teammate lying there. The rising of his chest even. There were bandages on his arms on hands. The burn marks were quite severe, and whatever had caused them had caused the skin to glove off. One had to be careful in treating them, she had cleaned the wounds thoroughly, bandaging them afterward.
The Sun had set a long time ago, the darkness of the night had crept in ...

All three of us got ready. I handed both Shino and Hinata modified explosive tags. Because Sasuke and Naruto were inside, we could not use regular tags. But making modifying tags was quite easy for me. Both of them nodded and places the tags on the ice mirrors.
We are done. They signaled while jumping back.

The wave was quite far from the village. We had been on the road for about three days, rushing through the lush forest that surrounded the village. Mobility had been one of the first lessons at the academy. How to move through numerous landscapes, and conditions had been drilled into us by the instructors. Moving silently, purposefully, and covertly while masking your tracks were the basics that every shinobi learned.
We were in formation with Hinata an...

Failure. Disappointment. Ordinary. These words were the words Hinata Hyuga was associated with. In the clan, she had been continuously compared with her cousin from the side branch. In the academy, she was pitted against the sole Uchiha. And now, in team eight she was compared to another prodigy. Shinso ken, they had been classmates for four years. He had been good during classes, yet only now as a genin, she understood that academy ranks were meaningless.
It was their day off and Kuren...

I was walking towards my apartment. Two packets of groceries were in my hand as I made my way through the bustling street. I still had to go shopping for my new gear. The shops around me sold their wares, clothes, weapons food, and various other knick-knacks.
One of the biggest benefits of being good at seals was money. I had been learning sealing for around 5 years now, and only during y final year, had I been able to make storage and explosive seals. This was a source of income for me...

Aburame Shino was panting on the grass. Hinata handed him a water bottle which he took with a muttered thank you. His spar with their sensei had been illuminating. He had understood the gap between himself and his sensei. Hinata had sparred earlier and her performance had been good, she had decent taijutsu and her byakugan made their sensei’s illusions ineffective against her.
But he had expected that Hinata was the heiress of a clan with a rich history. She had been trained since chi...

Genjutsu. The second pillar of the shinobi arts. It was the most underrated and obscure of the three. There were several definitions, explanations, and applications. I liked the simplest one made by some Uchiha, ‘It was the method of altering the perception of reality.
Genjutsu was tough because for an average shinobi it required very good control of chakra, not at the medical ninjutsu level but still very good control. The exact mechanism was still debatable, but according to me, it ...

In Konoha, it was an important day for the aspiring shinobi. In the academy students with their shining headbands sat talking to each other excitably. They had just graduated and were ready to move on to the next step in their journey, ultimately ending in their demise. Quick demise in most of the cases.
Out of a usual academy class, only 30 students graduated and on average only 5 reached their thirties. It was a cruel number for any village, more so for the one constructed with the id...
