Blood. Lust.
{Excerpt}
...This was a period of vigorous economic expansion. This expansion, in turn, played a major role in the many other transformations—social, political, and cultural—of the new age. By 1560, the population in most Kingdoms of Udoris had marginally increased after over a century of peace. The bonds within the kingdoms tightened, and the wheels of commerce spun ever faster. New commodities, many introduced by members of...

{Excerpt}
In the year 1409 S.T., the king of Ivonne, Stefans Zoroaster led an army southward through the Alps to conquer Syrii. The Ivonnian invasion of Syrii marked the beginning of a new phase of Udorian politics, during which the twelve kings of Udoris fought and invaded each other—with the lost tribes as their reluctant pawns—in a delusional bid to unify Udoris under one crown.
For the next 40 years, the dream of ...

Do you guys remember Kaito, the blood clone/ego MC created? Yeah, I will be changing his name to Jinrui. Apparently, the translation I used was incorrect.
Also, I will begin reuploading TSA to Patreon Today. We should have advanced chapters available before next week.
That's all.
Peace!

Kakashi groaned as his consciousness gradually returned to him. He felt his body ache all over. His head hurt, a throbbing pain inflaming the front of his brain. His muscles and bones felt weak. Soft.
“Right on cue. You are finally awake,” a feminine voice drawled by his side. The Jonin blinked, turning slightly to regard the woman.
“...Tsunade-hime?” he mumbled, confused. “You are here?”
“How can I not be here?” the Senju princess grumbled. ...

NADESHIKO ISLAND
Shizuka felt her heartbeat quicken—her chest tightening—as the oppressive chakras in the distance flared ominously. A thunderous explosion echoed from miles away and the earth beneath her feet tremored violently. She stared ahead in awe at the artificially formed cumulonimbus, birthed from the massive, rising column of steam in the distance before turning to face her master racing ahead just a few meters in front of her.
For a moment, the temptation to plead...

“Don’t bother,” Tobirama said calmly to the Uchiha spawn. “We are no longer in the Land of Wind.”
Eerily enough, the chunin simply glanced up at him, seemingly unconcerned about being captured and separated from the rest of his team. Tobirama subconsciously shifted his gaze to avoid directly meeting the boy’s crimson ones, instead focusing on his pale cheeks below; decades of battling against the accursed Uchiha had engrained this instinct too deeply...

We pulled our scarf tighter around our face in an instinctual bid to keep the worse of the dust out of our nostrils. The air shimmered with heat, carrying a dry, arid breeze through the city.

Inoichi was in a state of perpetual confusion.
He couldn’t say he particularly enjoyed the feeling.
One might respond to this by stating it was near-impossible to not encounter situations or subjects, that would seem beyond his understanding in his line of work. And the Yamanaka Patriarch would be hard-pressed to disagree with this sentiment. It was a fact he had learned to grow accustomed to after so many years in service after all.

“Iikkō suru!” Hands came together in a sharp, audible clap. Danzo’s chakra churned and the living sacrifice in the centre of the seal array screamed in torment as dust and ash slowly swirled forward to encase their body. The grey mass twisted and moulded their form, altering it, as a skilled potter would wet clay.

A Week Later.
It was a cool, sunny day today.
The leaves on the trees had begun their metamorphosis; vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold spread throughout the village. The towering trees that surround Konohagakure toed the incorporeal divide of the seasons, their canopies a kaleidoscope of colours, creating a stunning backdrop against the clear blue sky. The streets were carpeted with fallen leaves, crackling softly underfoot with each step we took.

As we lay on the hospital bed, staring up at the spinning blades of the ceiling fan above, we couldn’t help but think back to a better time. To the days we spent in a ponderous haze, contemplating the meaning of life. Introspective existentialism, the essence of our mortal existence, and the irrationality of the physical laws that governed this plane. These amongst other mundane thoughts we mulled on ceaselessly, day in, day out. To put it in a few words, we lived a happy, ca...

We tore through the tri-layered Genjutsu the weasel weaved with contemptuous ease. In mere milliseconds we were standing before him stabbing towards his guts with a kunai. We formed a one-handed sign, our already halved chakra pool splitting four ways as two more shadow clones peeled off from our back. Halfway formed, with only their upper halves sticking out of our waist, one clone raised a kunai to intercept the massive blade cleaving towards our back while the other formed a...

Hello there, my beloved patrons!
I just realised I have started forgetting a few important tidbits about Naruto's canon. That discovery led me to decide to reread the first twenty volumes of the Manga to freshen my memory since it has been nearly three years since I touched the original work and not some other Fanfic.
I also plan to return to updating my original work, TSA, since my intention to let SFF catch up and build up steam is already nearing fruition. The next ...

Shikamaru gently bit into the piece of barbeque hanging from his chopsticks. The succulent slice of meat oozed a smattering of oil that glossed his lips. It was tasty as one would expect from a meal prepared by Konoha’s very own Yakiniku Q’s barbeque saloon. Yet, despite this, the Nara scion chewed on it in a visibly absent-minded manner, his attention staunchly fixed on the shinobi seated across from him. Sasuke, as usual, conversed easily with the rest of t...

Temari, Shino, Tenten and Neji all made it to the next round seemingly without any effort. Both our teammates were summarily knocked out of the race. It wasn’t unexpected. How disgraceful, however, it must be for Kakashi that only the student he blatantly refused to train was the one to not suffer a catastrophic defeat.
