Chapter 49.4- Doom Days

Of course, finding the answer to that one was not merely a question that could be answered by just reading books and seeing what sticked but seeing as I was basically stuck in magical probation until Pomphrey declared me fit to cast, it was the best option I had available. And so I moved from the advanced transfiguration texts to a charm treatise where I struggled to understand every other concept. I could understand the words, and what they meant but they were just put together in a manner t...

Chapter 68.4- One Thousand Hands

I stepped into his space and he spat a wind bullet straight at my head. He’d held it back from that initial barrage, building it up in his throat, sharpening it with more and more shape transformation. It moved so quickly that one second it was leaving his mouth and the next, it was passing through the space my forehead had occupied nary a second earlier. It was a good trick, I reluctantly admitted it might even have worked if I couldn’t just see the chakra for the attack building within ...

Chapter 15.3- The Seadragon's Roar

“Rhaenys? What are you—“ He stopped as he looked around himself, staring at all of us for a few seconds before he looked down at his own body. He gasped as he tried to wiggle in place.

“Oh” He said, and I could see the realization set in. Corlys was a smart man, and it did not take a genius to figure out just what’s going on.

“How long do I have?” He asked, turning to the Maester. The question did what nothing else had, it managed to set off Mother. With a gasp, ...

Chapter 49.3- Doom Days

Apparating over from Britain was just a matter of crossing the channel. Going from Greece wasn’t all that bad either. I just needed to visit a few places in this world so I had more than a few apparition points to pick from. Beyond that, there was nothing that would present much of a barrier to my coming and going.

“Superb” She said, leaning down to plant a kiss on my cheek before she practically skipped from the room. And then it was just Sirius and I for the last days of my cus...

Chapter 68.3- One Thousand Hands

He rose to his feet and flicked two shuriken straight at me, I backhanded them to the sides, strengthening your hands with a quick application of earth release. Even the wind release enhanced shuriken were not able to pierce it. I stepped closer again. This time, he moved in for the attack, starting with a kick aimed for my head. I stepped to the side and bodychecked him into the wall of his home and sent him bouncing off him.. My version of sage mode gave me two key advantages over everythin...

Mother and Laena were fighting. I’d seen it coming, but not for the first time this week, I felt lost as to what to do about the situation. I’d taken charge of the search for Seaspeaker, and to my annoyance, we were yet to find the man himself. Even worse, we were yet to get a consistent description of what the man even looked like. Some of his men said he had olive skin like the dornish and a lithe frame, others claimed that he was a dark skinned Qohorik prizefighter turned pir...

Chapter 68.2- One Thousand Hands

I scouted the perimeter with byakugan and looked into the house. Danzo was sat at his desk, doing some sort of writing while two of his clansmen spoke to him. I had two options. Go in now and take him regardless or wait for them to finish. Even with how angry I was, I knew that there were some things it was best not to leave any evidence of. So I settled in and waited. They spoke and worked up until the darkest hours of the night. Even while both of the other men were tired and visibly so, Da...

Chapter 49.2- Doom Days

I unrolled the scroll after breaking the seal. “So how’d ya do?” Sirius was already asking before I’d even finished looking through the result. One, two. That had to be some sort of record, wasn’t it? I passed the scroll to him while I reflected on the results.

Dark Arts- Mastery

Charms- Outstanding

Transfiguration- Outstanding

Potions- Exceeds Expectations

Duelling- Mastery

Well, those were the ones that mattered at least. With results like this...

Chapter 49.1- Doom Days

It took a whole day for me to remember that my ICW AWLS results had been scheduled for release the ay after the Third task. I knew I won the third task, I had the cup and the bag of gold sitting on my desk to drive that point home, and since there was only so much I could do while essentially strapped to a hospital bed, I had space for my mind to stray.

“So how’d the results turn out?” I asked Sirius. My godfather had his face buried in the daily prophet but he clearly heard me a...

Chapter 15.1- The Seadragon's Roar

Laena had been serious about not seeing Father in this state. Even now, she was out flying with Vhagar while I sat with Mother and the Easter watching him sleep soundly. “So there’s nothing you can do? Nothing at all?” This was not the first time Mother was asking this question.

“Maybe if I had gotten to him a few seconds after he was wounded then I would have had a chance. Not a guarantee, mind you, it would have been a slim chance regardless. Wounds like this, well, we tend t...

Chapter 68.1- One Thousand Hands

I didn’t think this through. I did not fucking think this through at all. This was even more stupid than fucking breaking into Hashirama’s grave. This was the kind of thing that would lose me the support of the clans, the shinobi, even the fucking civilians. "If he can do it to a Clan head, think of what he’ll do to you” I could practically hear Hiruzen saying those words as he embarked on his campaign against me. I wouldn’t even judge him for it, I would do the same. My ca...

Chapter 14- The Seadragon's Roar (A death in the Family)

We had underestimated the pirates, and we had done so to our massive loss. For one, they'd burned the shipyard, seemingly having decided that if they could not have it, then neither could we. That loss would have been large enough, even if one did not consider the loss of life. Vaemond had taken the bulk of the Knights with him; Corlys had sent the rest of the men-at-arms into the island to scout and put things in order. That meant those in the village had been a paltry amount of guards, Corl...

Chapter 48- Doom Days (Debrief)

"A week?" I asked, gobsmacked. That was—it should have been impossible. I knew more about magical medicine than most, and there was a bit of an unofficial rule: three days. Any wound or malady that could not be healed in three days would never be healed at all. So how had I been unconscious for a whole week? I felt along my body. All my limbs were intact—at least they seemed to be. I flexed my fingers—thumb, index, middle, ring, pinky, on both hands, and then again for good measure befo...

Chapter 67- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

“I would never dream of assassinating my Kage,” I said.

“Then you are either lying or a fool. I like you, Shorirama Senju. I liked your Granduncle even more. So I will assume you are no fool and are just merely lying. Do you know anything about how I became the Daimyo?” He asked. Was that a serious question?

“Your father had been sick, and then died in his sleep on the eve of your sixteenth birthday, so you had the shortest regency in history and then ascended to the thr...

Chapter 48.6- Doom Days

By the time we reached the last straight of the last lap, Vhagar was a mere two lengths behind us. We’d pushed more and more in the time since, managing to accelerate for brief periods to keep our lead as much as we could, but all that had managed was allowing us to avoid being overtaken. Except that it seemed that Laena’s strategy had also included a last minute push. The giant dragon behind us was still accelerating while we had nothing but fumes left in the tank.

‘They’re go...

Chapter 67.6- One Thousand Hands

Nowhere immediately obvious, and my choices were beginning to be limited. If I couldn’t find the cells and harness their power, then my options for Uraume’s prosthetic would have to involve mechanically designing one like a puppet’s arm. I still had the remains of the puppet I’d stolen from that Suna Jounin to earn how they worked in concept and crafting one couldn’t be that hard. I had the resources to hire all the best builders in the village. The only issue with that was that it ...

Chapter 67.5- One Thousand hands

“That’s impossible” Uzume bluntly disputed.

“I concur. If it were possible to transmit genes like that after a subject’s death then the Hyuga clan would be aware and would guard against it beyond just sealing the eyes away. Besides, if we had this kind of thing, we would already have stolen kekkei genkai from the other villages before now” Uraume added her voice to the discourse.

“I just have a good feeling that I’ll manage it” I said, and stretched my hand for...

Chapter 14.5- The Seadragon's Roar

“Sister, it’s been a while” I said when she got within talking distance so I did not have to shout. She did not reply, closing the distance instead and swallowing me in a hug. Near two years between us in age meant that she was closer to sixteen than I was to fifteen and easily towered over me. I couldn’t wait for my growth spurt to finish— this wasn’t proper.

“Are you done?” I asked, face mashed into two mounds that I didd my best not to think about. She’s your siste...

Chapter 48.5- Doom Days

“Okay, that’s enough. Harry, can you tell us why happened next— after you presumably lost consciousness?”

“I woke up in a graveyard.”

“Which graveyard?”

“How exactly am I supposed to know , Headmaster? I do know that I was tied to a grave belonging to a Tom Riddle, son of Thomas and Mary Riddle” I watched as Dumbledore nodded, like he expected this. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. It wasn’t like he hadn’t been predicting Voldemort’s retu...

Chapter 48.4- Doom Days

“The spell didn’t work. Nothing worked. And then he told me the dome would feed n my own magic while I remained within. He’d shut off the air as well .So I had two time bombs ticking— one ws the air, the other was my magic. So I thought it through. He didn’t seem like he wanted to kill me. That was way too much effort to kill someone when a killing curse to the back worked just as well as anything did. And with their resources, I had little reason to doubt there would have been any ...

I stood at the edge of the harbour. Vhagar had been spotted miles away, and sometime later, so had Meleys. It wa snot like Vhagar was ahead, but the dragon’s larger size made her visible from long distances. Igneel lay sprawled behind me, lounging in the sun. I had never known how much the lack of the sun had affected him in the Stormlands where it was always either raining, cloudy, or overcast. Here, he seemed focused on getting as much sunlight as possible for as long as he coul...

Chapter 67.4- One Thousand Hands

I lifted both my hands in the universal symbol of surrender. Dealing with one of them was trouble enough. With the both of them? When they were both pissed off? I’d rather fight Hanzo again. Speaking of Hanzo, that was another thing I had on my mind. The Land of Rain. The Land of Rain would birth most of the Akatsuki’s leadership— Nagato, Konan, Yahiko. If hanzo could be trusted, then maybe I would have been fine trusting him not to fuck things up but from all accounts, he was little be...

“So I assume you have something for me?” I asked her as I stood at the gate, awaiting their return. She turned and gestured to some of the Jounin. I actually chuckled when I saw what Uzume had prepared. Should I have expected anything else? Kitsuchi was bound to wooden poles, tied and double tied with chains on his hands, his legs, his neck even. I looked at him, and he met my gaze, eyes bloodshot. I could recognize that particular look.

“You know I gave you that poison...

Chapter 14.3- The Seadragon's Roar

Just as expected he turned to leave the room with a nod. Before he seemed to change his mind and turn around. “There is anther matter I wished to discuss, Nephew”

“Yes, Uncle”

“You are not yet of age. There must be a regency” I amended my previous thought. This man seemed to have some hidden ambition to him. How cute.

“What regency? Is my father dead?” I asked, giving him the chance to step back and act like nothing had happened. The look I gave him should...

Chapter 48.3- Doom Days

“So now Harry, can you tell me what happened? As much as you can remember. Not just what is relevant— every sound, every smell, every feeling that itched at your skin and made you want to react. I need to know all of it.” He said, and his was the time for me to make a choice. Tell him, or don’t tell him. I laughed internally. That was not a choice— not really. i couldn’t face Voldemort on my own— nothing about that engagement with him had been enough to convince me otherwise. An...

Chapter 67.2- One Thousand Hands

“So tell me now why you did not kill Sarutobi Hiruzen? I assume you are here to secure my support for your bid as Kage. I do not back losers, and if your reason is not satisfactory, then I will take it as an indication that you lack the will to do what is necessary, and this can never be a winner.” He said, and I could tell he meant every word that left his lips. This man had killed his own father, I thought. If anyone would judge me for my thoughts then it wouldn’t be here. None of his...

Chapter 48.2- Doom Days

“I mean that you had me unconscious here, probably had your mediwitch feeding me sleeping potions when Sirius wasn’t paying attention so you could rifle through my mind at your will. You know exactly what happened and why I have that wand” I accused. I had no evidence, but I had a strong feeling that this was what had happened and everything I knew about Dumbledore told me that this was just the kind of thing he would do. It was right up his wheelhouse.

Fleur looked taken aback b...
