Imma be short. I moved from Florida, took me around ten days or so to move my stuff and my cats. Updates return the 31th of oct.
I will post as many chapters as I can that day. Sorry for being gone without a notice. I just had an opportunity to leave Florida, and being tired of the hurricanes I decided to take it.
Love you all. Corn.
2024-10-31 05:06:49 +0000 UTC View Post“Hmm…” Well, it’s official… I had no idea where I am.
Sighing, I stood up, my leg still aching from the rough landing, and took in my surroundings. It was... strange. More so than usual. The air was different, and the landscape around me felt wild, untouched. Rolling plains, patches of tall grass swaying gently in the wind. Mountains, and part of a forest.
It seemed the terrain wasn’t sure what to be, a...
2024-10-18 04:00:21 +0000 UTC View PostToday, as I walked out of my room in the inn, I found Jiraiya waiting outside my room with a wide grin and mischievous look in his eyes that usually meant something ridiculous was about to happen. I was getting used to it by now, but still, every time he had that look, I couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit of concern. Usually, whatever he was about to say would involve me doing something outright evil or uncomfortable.
But su...
2024-10-18 02:15:53 +0000 UTC View PostTraining alone had become routine by now. I was standing in an open field, my legs steady in a stance I had repeated a thousand times, hands moving through forms I had memorized in the last two months. Two months since I left the village with Jiraiya. Two months since he sealed my chakra sensing, making the world feel strangely muted and empty.
But hey, I was making progress.
It still felt odd. No, odd wasn...
2024-10-18 01:23:08 +0000 UTC View PostJiraiya had been grumbling under his breath for the last ten minutes. Something about how the world didn’t appreciate his “research,” which I supposed was another word to say “porn,” and how certain people should mind their own business. The source of his frustration? Probably me.
We had arrived at the hot springs an hour ago, and true to what I had heard about the old Sannin wasted no time in trying to sneak off to “gat...
2024-10-18 00:48:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe internet just got back. It's about 12am, but the internet is back!
Updates restart tomorrow between 10am to 4pm EST. Thanks for your patience, I honestly wouldn't had been so calm otherwise, but you guys being chill while this... shit went away, allowed me to just focus on waiting instead of what I wasn't doing.
Now, as a gift for being the most awesome readers an author fighting Zeus can ask for, I will update 2-3 times a day, until the 23th of this month. Maybe more...
2024-10-15 04:10:07 +0000 UTC View PostThey have finally restored power to my area, and things are going back to normal. No more resellers, and shit. So, starting tomorrow, i'll be updating. Internet is still... iffy, but according to my provider the ETA is for tomorrow around 5-7pm, so see you guys tomorrow!
2024-10-14 00:16:30 +0000 UTC View PostWell, long story short. Another hurricane, shit is wild where I am. I didn't have internet all night yesterday after my post, and just now got access to power and electricity, well, a few hours ago, but you get the point.
Now, don't worry. This doesn't mean I will be gone or missing. So far, all this weather has brought is... expensive groceries, because most of the things are being sold by resellers, like pack of water being 30 bucks. Why? Well, some people see natural disasters...
2024-10-09 22:42:50 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t like the fact that I had to go, but I understood why, Jiraiya was the only one, outside Teresa that could help me with my situation, I needed to learn more about my power, just as much as I needed to become stronger, only then I would be able to avoid that from happening again.
Calmly, I stood at the Uchiha compound, watching Itachi and Shisui talking quietly off to the side. Lady Mikoto and Lord Fugaku were nearby, keeping...
2024-10-09 22:03:59 +0000 UTC View PostI stood at the memorial stone, gazing down at the names etched into it, the weight of my years as Hokage pressing down on me. The wind was gentle, carrying with it the faint scent of the flowers that grew near the graves. It was quiet here, a solemn kind of quiet that I had grown accustomed to over the decades. The sun was low, casting long shadows over the names of those we had lost, the ones who had given everything for the village.

2024-10-09 22:02:26 +0000 UTC View PostI felt like I was floating, drifting in a haze, like I was suspended in water. There was no ground beneath me, no weight to my body, just this strange, empty sensation. My head was foggy, the world around felt… distant, blurred. Everything felt… wrong.
I tried to move, but it was like my body wasn’t responding. I couldn’t tell if I was awake or dreaming. Was I dead? No, that didn’t feel right. I was here… som...
2024-10-09 22:00:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello my sexy friends, Corn here with some news about the upcoming arc that starts tomorrow. Tomorrow I will post 4 chapters, 5 if I finish the one I'm working on tonight, which are the start of the next arc. This arc will be shorter than the first, and it will be called. Know Thyself.
The arc will cover the time between now, and close to the start of Naruto.
I took the past two days working the events of the arc, and tomorrow we return to daily up...
2024-10-08 00:40:39 +0000 UTC View PostFirst of all, sorry for being missing. I had a minor medical procedure, and was recovering. Beyond the flu, I had my jaw... being realigned, and boy let me tell you, that hurts.
Anyways, onto the news.
I have updated the chapters each tier can read, and will continue to do so from now on. Normally, when I'm updating daily on Webnovel and such, the tiers are.
5$ a month for: 5 chapers ahead of release.
15$ a month for: 13-15 chapters ahead of...

2024-10-05 23:25:01 +0000 UTC View PostKohinata Mukai stood by the window of his home, the thin trail of smoke from his cigarette curling up into the air, disappearing into the soft light of the early afternoon. His gaze softened as he watched his wife carry their baby, a five-month-old bundle of joy out of the door, cradled carefully in her arms. His baby babbled something incomprehensible, his chubby hands grasping at the air as his wife smiled down at him, whispering soothing words.

Behind closed doors, in one of the hospital’s private wings reserved for Shinobi treatment, three beds were occupied by a trio of young shinobi who had been brought in by the Anbu, recently under emergency conditions.
Shisui, Itachi, and Takeshi lay motionless, each of them kept in a medical...
2024-10-05 21:45:31 +0000 UTC View PostOk, imma make this note short. Your dear Corn was sick, nothing bad, just a terrible case of the flu combined with a few other things, and that's the reason I was missing. I'm good now, in fact, I'm writing the last chapter of the current arc of Faint Smile right now.
We start the next arc tomorrow. So, be ready! Love you all.
Update: Oct 3, the first chapters of next arc drop. Love you all.
I watched as the beast slowly began to change. My breath hitched, my body trembling as Takeshi—no, the monster—started to revert. His massive, grotesque form—lion’s head, ram horns, claws, snake-like tail—shifted and twisted, shrinking, morphing back into something human. His claws retracted, fur disappearing, and the monstrous features melted away, slowly revealing the Takeshi I remembered.
It... it had worked....
2024-09-26 22:30:13 +0000 UTC View PostI watched the Masked Man with a mixture of amusement and contempt as he threw another barrage of attacks at me—flames, earth spikes, explosions—none of it made any difference. Each one hit, ripping through my flesh, tearing fur and scales, but I didn’t flinch. I didn’t even bother dodging.
Why should I?
This body… this —power—. It was glorious.

2024-09-26 21:03:18 +0000 UTC View PostI couldn’t escape.
The realization sank in faster than I’d liked. The moment I tried to phase out and leave this place, that —thing— would tear me apart. I couldn’t even read its movements with my Sharingan—and that made it impossible to deal with.
I gritted my teeth, glancing at the beast, at the boy I had supposedly kil...
2024-09-16 22:37:28 +0000 UTC View PostThese are some images and information for reference about his awakened form.
He’s a chimera.
His head is mostly that of a Lion, with mane and everything. But he has the horns of a Ram and some scales from his dragon part.
His legs are similar to that of a Minotaur.
His tail is a snake.
His size right now, despite being big. It’s just proportionate to his age.

Shisui's vision wavered as the oppressive chakra continued to smother the forest, his mind struggling to keep up with the sudden shift in the air. The masked man had already begun to turn, his focus shifting from Shisui to something unseen, when the black creature—the one who had interrupted his fight with the masked man—spoke again, this time more urgent.
"You have to leave. Right now," it hissed, its tone st...
2024-09-15 17:55:35 +0000 UTC View PostMy eyes snapped open, and the world felt like it was spinning. Pain shot through my limbs, but that wasn’t what made my stomach twist. It was the air, thick and suffocating, like death was hanging over me. I forced myself up, palms digging into the cold, wet dirt. Everything was blurry at first, but the smell hit me—blood, and lots of it.
I blinked, my vision clearing just enough to see the bodies sca...
2024-09-15 08:54:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe masked man’s figure had caught up with him, appearing from the shadows, his single visible eye glowing under the moonlight filtering through his spiral mask. Shisui’s heart pounded in his chest as he stood protectively in front of the Daimyo’s limp body, still under the enemy’s genjutsu. The rest of his friends—elite guards meant to protect the Daimyo—had been defeated, each one taken down in a m...
2024-09-15 08:53:20 +0000 UTC View PostTakeshi’s body trembled, his heart pounding in his chest like a war drum. Mr. Yamato was down. Bleeding. This bastard was going to kill those he cared about again. He would lose people again. He couldn’t allow that. He couldn’t run, knowing he was letting someone he cared about die a pointless death.
He also knew he couldn’t fight the masked man. Not now, not yet.
But he refused to take either o...
2024-09-15 08:52:40 +0000 UTC View PostTakeshi’s eyes narrowed as he closed them, focusing on the flicker of chakra he felt miles away. It was faint—barely there—but unmistakable. He stood still, his hands wrapped around the hilt of his Claymore. His heartbeat quickened, a cold sensation creeping through his chest as hate for the man, and anger at himself for not being able to do a thing, began to bubble.
That chakra… there was no mistaking it. It belonged to ...
2024-09-15 08:50:57 +0000 UTC View PostWe had been on the road for several days now, escorting the Fire Daimyo from one commercial post to the next. It was tedious work, as expected, but at least the Daimyo was an interesting character, making the job easier than I had expected. He had this almost child-like excitement about everything, from the merchandise he was inspecting to the people he was dealing with. In a way, it was refreshing to see someone in his position with ...

After two weeks of intense training, Konoha’s trio were ready. Mr. Yamato led his team through the streets of Konoha, heading toward the designated meeting point for their mission. The day was clear, and while anticipation lingered in the air, the atmosphere was surprisingly relaxed. Takeshi, Shisui, and Itachi followed closely behind, quietly discussing what the mission would entail, each of them excited about their first Chunin ...
2024-09-13 01:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostI made my way to Training Camp Four as instructed by Mr. Yamato, wondering who he had sent to train me for the next two weeks, seeing all I had to go by was that this person owed sensei a few favors. Considering sensei, it was maybe another jōnin or even someone from the intelligence division to help me sharpen my sensory abilities, who just happened to be a wind style user. But as I approached the training grounds, pondering who my temporary sens...

As we entered Lord Third’s office, it was as serene as ever, though I could feel that he had summoned us for something important. My team had passed the Chunin Exams just a few days ago, and their performance had attracted the attention of some influential people who were now interested in hiring them—if anything, to meet the trio. Today was a perfect example of that. We had been summoned by Lord Third himself ...
