Chapter 14.2- The Seadragon's Roar

There was a knock on the door, I turned to it. I had posted guards at the door with the instruction that I was not to be disturbed so that meant there was only person that could be there.

“Come in Vaemond” I called. He did, swinging open the door and stepping in. His gaze was fixed on Corlys’ body.

“Is Seaspeaker dead?” I asked. Because if the pirate king was still yet to be found, then I would do something drastic.

“We’ve loosed the hounds and sent men nigh...

Chapter 14.1- The Seadragon's Roar

We had underestimated the pirates. And we had done so to our detriment. So much we had lost. 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 no consider the loss of life. Vaemond had taken the bulk of 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 ...

Chapter 47- Doom Days (Aftermath)

XXXX - SIRIUS

Dumbledore was a strange man, everyone knew that. But even with that, it was still shocking for all of them when he went to the podium, reached down to the surrounding grass, and took a handful before popping it straight in his mouth.

“Albus!” McGonagall scolded.

“Not even trying to beat the goat allegations, eh, Albus, old boy?” Slughorn, sarcastic as ever, cut in. Of course, he did not get to say those words and go scot-free as McGonagall turned her p...

Chapter 13- The Seadragon's Roar (A Killer of Men)

Vaemond looked far from pleased with the news that I was going to be following him into the forest. In fact, he looked set to dispute the order until he thought better of it. Good. Brother or not, Corlys was not the type of man that tolerated dissent when it came to his orders.

“You will ride by my side. Do not even think of going off on your own,” he said. I nodded; that was an easy enough requirement.

“You will obey every order I give you without hesitation. If I ask you t...

Chapter 66- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

I looked at him. Really just looked at him. He was thin, in a way that shinobi never were. Sure, we had the advantage of chakra; also, most shinobi were far from the bulk massive effigies that passed for physically fit in my first world, but even the average genin had layers upon layers of coiled muscle lying beneath their skin. All of that wasn’t gone, don’t get me wrong. But enough of it was—cannibalized by the healing sleep seal to keep him alive and help him recover from the mess th...

Chapter 13.6- The Seadragon's Roar

The violence was raging all around me. How many pirates had there been? Surely not this many? We hadn’t charged into this many people. Was this a counter ambush? An ambush on our ambush? Or was I just miscounting? One man came to me next, he had a mace clutched in his hand and a smile that screamed blood. Looking in his eyes told me one thing. This man was an experienced killer of men. It showed in the compete fearlessness with which he approached, like I could not pose any threat to him. I...

Chapter 66.6- One Thousand Hands

“So what would you ask of me, Shorirama-dono. A victory like this must be rewarded, yes?” He asked, giving me a look.

“Father, I highly doubt that there is any need to depose the shinobi for doing his job. Does their village not exist here at your will? Their continued existence is enough of a reward” The man from earlier cut in again. This time, I did not flick my eyes towards him. Instead, I catalogued his appearance. This was the Prince, there was no doubt about it. The crow...

Chapter 47.7- Doom Days

—

Waking up in a bed that wasn’t mine was not something I was unused to. I slept in the Room of Requirements more often than not, and switching beds night after night was one way to keep things fresh in a life with as little social connection as I was getting. But still, it was clear I was not there. The first sign was the smell. Even in the wizarding world, the hospital wing smelled sterile— not in a good way. The air just smelled of nothing in a way that made it a smell of its o...

Chapter 47.6- Doom Days

“Who did this?” He managed to ask through gritted teeth.

“The men in the attack were hired grunts, mercenaries and criminals with little to nothing in common between them other than the fact that they were wands for hire. Curious enough, most of them were from the continent rather than being from Britain so it says something about whoever hired them. What it says about them, I am yet to find out. But it says something”

“What leads do we have from them? Can we interroga...

Chapter 47.5- Doom Days

It took what felt like an eternity for him to gain control of his body enough to speak. “What in the hells was that?”

“The wards, Sirius. Once we were attacked, I used my powers as the Headmaster to bring the wards up at full power. When I took ou the compass to look for young Harry, I felt someone bounce against the wards and since the compass said he was in this direction— more or less where the wards would deposit someone who ran afoul them— I figured that he was there and...

Chapter 66.5- One Thousand Hands

I did not bow. At this point, no one expected me to. All I did was walk up to the seat placed on an elevated Dias and give the man a nod. A nod that he returned. At least I got some respect here. Well, the fact that he remained here at what was essentially my pleasure probably went a long way in ensuring that.

“You said you have something for me, Shorirama-dono” Not Hokage-dono, I noticed. It was fair since I was not the Hokage. For all his flaws and failings, Hiruzen held that tit...

Chapter 13.5- The Seadragon's Roar

I stepped into his guard and went for his legs just like I’d done with high school wrestling a million times in my first life. Except that unlike all those times, my opponent was not even close to my weight class. He kicked me in the midsection with his other leg— the one I’d failed to catch in my initial charge, and even through my chainmail, I felt the blow rattle my ribs. I rolled away, just continuing blind with the pain until I came to a stop against something. It took me a second ...

Chapter 13.4- The Seadragon's Roar

I wish I could tell you about the first man I killed. I wish I could tell you what colour his hair was, what colour his eyes were, what his voice sounded like as he screamed his fury— or was it fear?— at me as I rode him down, or even the feeling of his blood as it sprayed on both my mount and I as my blade kissed an artery in his neck or something and made him fall back to the floor, spraying blood all over the place. But none of that remained in my memory. I killed him, and it was on to...

Chapter 66.4- One Thousand Hands

“My name is Shorirama Senju. I am the Grandson of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of this village. My blood runs through this village. I am not a fan of birthrights, but I can tell you that in more ways than you know, this village is mine, and if that was not enough, add the fact that I am the strongest shinobi in this village, then I struggle to imagine just what there is for you to be yapping about. Either support my ascension or stay out off my way. Just know that if you dare to nip at...

Chapter 47.4- Doom Days

And so he followed their pace— brisk, but not as hurried as he would have liked. Not when his Godson was in an unknown condition. He just had to trust that Dumbledore wanted Harry alive and well just as surely as Sirius did, so if he was not hurrying, then maybe that was because here was no need to hurry and Sirius should really just be calm and follow his lead because Dumbledore knew best— if not best, then surely better than Sirius did. He was the one who had a way to track Harry after ...

Chapter 47.3- Doom Days

“But Harry. What does this mean for Harry”

“It means that whoever took him had the resources needed to either break into ICW containment or to subvert ICW procedure and release it. It’s worrying because as the Supreme Mugwump, I should have been informed the second an artifact as precious and dangerous as this one was moved from storage so either they infiltrated so deeply into the organisation that the report was successfully diverted from my desk, or they were so good with th...

Chapter 66.3- One Thousand Hands

“Your star will shine for a minute yes, but what goes up will most assuredly fall to the ground. The people of Konoha will see you for wha you are. Thy will see that you do not burn with the same fire that your Grandfather and Granduncle did. That I do. They will see that you do not embody the values that they hold dearest and closest. They will judge you and find you wanting. And when that happens, I will be here, waiting. I will wait for your fall because it will come” He said.

Chapter 13.3- The Seadragon's Roar

“Ughhh. We’re so stupid” I groaned into my glove when I realised just exactly what we were doing wrong. Vaemond’s gaze turned to me, eyes sharp.

“Do you have something to say, Laenor?”

“Yes, uncle. We’e following their route but we don’t need to. We know exactly where they are going. We should find an easier troute so we can cut them off even quicker” I said. It made sense to me, at least. They were proceeding on foot, and this rout would work to their advant...

Chapter 13.2- The Seadragon's Roar

We rode at dawn the next day. There was no point chasing them into an unfamiliar forest when the sun was about to set, was how Vaemond had justified the delay. Corlys had just waved it off, clearly not caring all that much. What could a pirate King achieve, forced into exile from his territory and grounded on land? Not much, as far as my father was concerned so he was fine leaving the entire thing to us while he worried about the logistics of getting more ships from Westeros, moving...

Chapter 66.2- One Thousand Hands

“Sounds scary, but what are you going to do about it. You are dying, Hiruzen. Even if you live through this, you will be a shadow of yourself and if you think the Village’s loyalty to you is so great as to ignore the ruin you near enough led us into, your reduced self, and the victories I have and will deliver, then you need to be committed to a mental facility” I said simply.

“Victories? If you think that debacle in Rivers is enough to cement a claim on the title, then I shoul...

Chapter 47.2- Doom Days

“What?” He asked, and he was not the only one to come short at the name. McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick and Bagman looked curious, just as curious as he was— when had Bagman even joined them, he wondered.

“That’s impossible” The light skinned one from the ICW poked in, jumping g down to examine the coffin as well. It did indeed look Egyptian in origin. It was a gleaming gold and had one of those things that pharaoh’s used to wear engraved on it along with a face.

“B...

Chapter 46- Doom Days (The Dark Lord Returns)

I woke up chained to a statue. My wand was nowhere near me. I would feel it with my magic if it were close enough to summon—being anywhere within a few inches of any part of my body. Once I had ascertained that much, I began looking about my surroundings. They were not hard to recognize. It was a graveyard. A familiar graveyard, and I stood chained to a familiar grave. Tom Riddle, Son of Thomas and Mary Riddle, 1905-1943. Well, that answered the question of who hired those mercenaries to ki...

Chapter 12- The Seadragon's Roar (War begins Quietly)

We felt the wind whip against us as we folded our body into as small a profile as possible, cutting through the air like a ship cut through the sea and enjoying every second of it. Even our smaller body, the one that held on the saddle with all its might, was having a tremendous time as we approached our target. They had seen us coming, but these ones did not have any weapons that could threaten us. They did not even try. By the time we spread our wings, catching the wind at the very last sec...

“We won!” I heard Kushina scream into my ears the second I teleported back to the office. Somehow, she had managed to convince my secretary to allow her and the rest of my genin team to wait here for me to return. I would have judged the woman for it if I had not fallen prey to Kushina’s pout of doom more than a few times myself. Instead, I just shook my head in her direction while I hoisted the red-haired missile that had attached itself to me upon arrival onto my shoulders. I looked a...

“He will struggle to breathe for the rest of his life, and the second he finds himself nagging in any exerting physical activity, he will be short for breath and struggling to continue. Retirement is his only option, right when he was just hitting his prime” She said. I nodded. I didn’t like Hiruzen. In truth, I hated the man. He was entitled, and smug, and a bastard, but he was hers, and I could feel her pain.

“I’m sorry” I tried to do my best to console her, but what was ...

Chapter 65.5- One Thousand Hands

These children, these kids, they had managed toward their way into my heart slowly and surely and I would do my best to make them better than they had been in the world where I did not exist. I would make them great. I would see each and every one of them become legends that would carve their names into the world.

“Shorirama-Sama” I turned to my secretary, only now noticing her hesitancy.

“What’s happened?” It couldn’t be something too serious could it? If she’d wa...

“You will continue to hold this up, please give me as much time as possible as I work to restore the enchantments” The old man said.

“Don’t be silly Dumbledore. The enchantments were cast by dozens of masters working in concert. They are not something that you can just restore on a whim. Instead, we must trigger the remote destruction of the platform. If it lands, it will cause tremendous loss of life. Far more will be lost than the three who are on the platform now” One of t...
