Chapter 61.4- One Thousand Hands

XXXXX- SHORIRAMA SENJU

“For the love of all that is holy, can you just play?” I asked Kizuru as we sat in the middle of the road. We weren’t alone, not truly. I had my team here. It was probably careless to the extreme to bring a team of genin out for what I was about to do, but Kushina was the Eight Tails Jinchuriki, Minato was a genius without compare, and Mikoto was the herald of the next generation of Uchiha prodigies— Uzume’s niece as well.

“Look at the surroundi...

Chapter 42.4- Doom Days

The poltergeist floated above the ground, visible menace on its clown face as he waited almost patiently. By his side floated s many water balloons that it was difficult to count their total. He had been waiting for me, there was no doubt about that.

“What do you want?” I asked in a whisper, calculating and considering the spells I could use against a creature like this one. A fair amount of them were darker than I was comfortable even incanting within Hogwarts’ wards, and a good...

Chapter 8.3- The Seadragon's Roar

“The realm is never at peace, young Lord.” When he spoke, his laughter died.. There something heavy, both behind his voice and his eyes.

“What do you mean? The realm has not known true war since Maegor slit his wrists against the blades of the iron throne. Th debacle with the Dornish shouldn’t count as you weren’t involved in that” I said, and it was true. This was the largest uninterrupted period of peace in Targaryen rule so far. They had brought peace, and thus prosperit...

Chapter 42.3- Doom Days

“You can’t beat the three of us” She said.

“Want to test that?”

“Let’s make a deal, ‘Arry”

“Yeah, simple enough. You tell me the second clue and I open the door for the both of us. Tick Tock, Krum won’t have much trouble with those Acromantula, we know” I said.

“How about I lead you to the second coin after you open the door” She said.

“No deal. You could just as easily get lost once the door is opened and ditch me” I refuted ...

Chapter 61.3- One Thousand Hands

People just kept falling, and strangely enough it seemed that some of the people who fell would rise again seemingly at random. It was just chaos. People would fall. Some would rise, and the rest would remain down on the floor shivering. Shivering like they were freezing. Tsubasa leaned down towards his twin sister and after shaking her produced no results, he reached up to feel hr forehead with the back of his hand. The only issue with that was that the second he touched her, he froze as wel...

Chapter 8.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“Is something the matter, Ser Borros?” I asked next.

“No. Nothing. Get going” He said, and that was it, he turned away to talk to some knight or the other about some thing or the other and I was left to watch the approaching island on my own. As he left, I turned my thoughts to him. To be honest, a lot of the time it felt like there were two versions of Borros. There was Borros who was sarcastic but kind, and the one that was cruel. It just seemed like the version of him I met ...

Chapter 61.2- One Thousand Hands

XXXX- KITSUCHI

The Iwa army moved as a single column. They walked ten abreast and fifty deep. Five hundred shinobi marching in file. They were only half of the force that would be making their way into Konoha. It was his father’s idea. Split the approach into two. One led by him, and the other led by Taakeshi the Immovaeble Mountain called up from his pacification of the Land of the Grass and the insurgents therein to help manage the invasion of Konoha. Kitsuchi had a fair idea where ...

Chapter 42.2- Doom Days

So why were these keys responding to my summoning charms? Because they weren’t spelled against summoning. Perhaps for this very reason. But what were the chances that this stage would have the right key open to being summoned. I felt it was unlikely, and if there was one thing I had learned about this world it was that feelings were everything when it came to magic.

So I pulled at my magic and cast another summoning charm Once again, all the keys rose as one and swarmed me. Instead o...

Chapter 61.1- One Thousand Hands

I buried the urge to bury my head in my hands as I stared at the map of Hi no Kuni and began to consider my next options. Somehow, Iwa had mangled to figure out that we were the ones behind the attack. That was the only thing that could explain their sudden expansion into our borders. I’d spoken a big game about being ready for the war when it came, and now that it was here, I found myself at a crossroads. Kumo was supposed to be the first to strike— that was the whole point of everything...

Chapter 8.1- The Seadragon's Roar

Is Tarth the most beautiful island in the seven kingdoms? I found myself wondering as we stared at the Island as it revealed itself through the early morning mists. Lord Tarth had not come in person with his ships, but had sent his Son and Heir Quentin Tarth to lead the barges that had been assigned to moving our Stormland force from the mainland over to the Island. From there, it would be up to my father to ferry us the rest of the way and he and his ships were scheduled to arrive any day no...

Chapter 42.1- Doom Days

The length of polished wood slammed into my palm in one of the most reassuring feelings known to wizardkind. I briefly considered my options before deciding that searching the forest for Fleur would be a waste of time so I shot into the air at full speed, feeling the winds roar past my body with how fast I was moving. i had to weave and duck my way through the foliage that made the canopy of the Forbidden Forest before I found myself in the open sky. And then I jetted off to the castle even f...

Chapter 60- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

“This is a mistake,” I heard Danzo roar in my ears as I watched the girl receive medical treatment from the greatest medic in the world, my cousin.

“Indeed?” I asked, looking over at him with a quirked eyebrow. The not-yet-cripple seemed to be forgetting his place.

“Assuredly. She is an enemy shinobi. We must harvest the Yonbi before she wakes and unleashes the thing on us,” he said.

“Yes, and you know this with your mastery in sealing, yes?” I asked, watchin...

Chapter 7- The Seadragon's Roar (Land ahoy)

—108 AC—

“Your father has written me to beg my presence in this war of his in the Stepstones. He desires for Stormlander blood to be shed in his war against the pirates, corsairs, and sellsails that plague those cursed islands,” Boremund said, looking over at me from across the dinner table. I looked up, nodded, and kept eating. Manfred had returned to being the one who sparred with me the majority of the time, and so I found myself tired as seven hells by the time dinner came a...

Chapter 41- Doom Days (The Final Task)

“How are you feeling?” Sirius asked by my side as we watched the proceedings for the third task begin.

“I don’t actually care about this all that much,” I said with a sigh. And it was true. I wish I could say that the Triwizard Tournament was this massive thing that had taken so much time and effort on my part, but it was far from that. For one, all my training had been to get stronger in general, rather than any particular preparation for any of the tasks. Even the second tas...

Chapter 7.6- The Seadragon's Roar

Still, today was clearly not that day as I weaved to the side to avoid a kick that threatened to send e wheezing to the floor. My counter stab at his leg was blocked with a shield and a sneer. His mace came around again and I ducked underneath it, not bothering to even try blocking with my shield. In fact the shield was only still in my grip because the last time I’d tried fighting without it, Borros had gone red in rage talking about how I must have a death wish of some sort. Ser Ben expla...

Chapter 60.6- One Thousand Hands

XXXXXX- SHORIRAMA SENJU

“The last time you asked for my help, I had to spend two days in the mind of a bird flying all the way from Iwa here. Might I add that I just arrived two days ago even” Inoken asked, as he stepped into the room. I gave my old friend a smile and walked forward to hug him. He froze in my grip before he returned it.

“Who are you and what have you done with Shorirama Senju?” Inoken asked with a wary look, clearly taken aback by the hug I’d swallowed ...

Chapter 60.5- One Thousand Hands

“Tsuchikage-sama, Father, I beg you. Give me command over the forces that will take Suna. I will bring you the head of Shorirama Senju and both the eight and ninetails. I swear it.” Kitsuchi said. And Onoki wished he had not spoken. Now he would have to refuse his son here. In front of these grasping snakes and serpents. But to do it in private would be just as damning and much less efficient. Besides, maybe this would be a lesson on not trying to pressure him into action. Maybe he hoped ...

Chapter 7.5- The Seadragon's Roar

“Good. Now let’s go to bed. Lord Tarth will be expecting us first thing tomorrow” he said and began to march off to his own tent. At the same time, I retreated in the opposite direction and began to make my way to Igneel. Thankfully, Borros was yet to mention enforcing the tradition of Knights and their Squires sleeping in the same tent. Part of me was certain that at least a good portion of that tradition had been sexual in nature. I mean, in canon, Loras had squired under really, and ...

Chapter 7.4- The Seadragon's Roar

Now was one of the few times during this mess of a march that I was doing neither of those two things— marring through the mud or resting on Igneel’s back. Instead, I was left with the ignoble duty of setting up camp— read: having the levies set up camp while I watched them do it fully aware that Borros would inevitably find something about the camp to complain about and then clap me over the ear because of. Last time, the tents were facing the wrong direction in his masterful opinion. ...

Chapter 60.4- One Thousand Hands

“So what do we do now?” One of them asked, and he knew this was the time to come with an answer as the Kage. It was his duty to solve situations like this. To figure out what to do next when the mountain began to crumble beneath their feet.

“The situation is nowhere near as dire as it seems. When it comes to raw manpower, we have more men than both Kumo and Konoha still. We know where Kumo are and can flush them out at anytime but they’d be expecting retaliation if they have an...

Chapter 40- Doom Days (Complete) Magicke Moste Evil

“Here is a special exemption granted by the Director of Education permitting you to use spells rated as up to Class Five dark magic within this exam and for the purposes of this exam only” The man across from me said, red eyes gleaming. The red eyes had been getting to me since the minute I’d stepped into this room, and only the knowledge that Voldemort would rather be gelded than take a job as a paper pusher for the ICW had me keeping my wand sheathed. His complexion, so pale that he m...

Chapter 7.3- The Seadragon's Roar

Marching in an army was harder than it seemed. Both harder and more annoying, to be honest. One thing was the rain. The rains were constant here. Wake up, it’s raining. Lunchtime, it’s raining. Time to sleep, it’s raining. It was the most prevalent issue, but one of the easiest to get used to. Manfred had made me spend whole days training under the rain so it was not the main factor that annoyed me. No, that was the mud. Marching in the mud was a slog— I spent my time making...

XXXXX- THE TSUCHIKAGE

His grip on the stone he kept on his desk tightened as he received the rest of the report.

“Right now, we’ve recorded about one hundred and forty nine fatalities so far with close to two hundred injuries— most of them debilitating and disqualifying from Iwa’s military service” His wife said and he resisted the urge to crush the stone and show his rage. This was not the time for that. It was his job to be the stone right now, and the stone did not r...

“A bit too much, wouldn’t you say?” Uraume asked, having watched the entire confrontation in silence.

“Keep an eye on him” I said instead.

“After that? I’d be surprised if he ever even thinks about thinking about double crossing you”

“Then you don’t know Danzo as well as I do. So, an eye on him please” I pressed.

“Done”

“Now, while I do disagree with his means of bringing it up, I also don’t completely disagree with the sentimen...

Chapter 7.2- The Seadragon's Roar

“That would be the bare minimum, considering that this is his war we are fighting, wouldn’t it?”

“A war for all of Westeros. The Stepstones pirates don’t discriminate between ships flying Velaryon flags or those flying Manderly or Redwyne flags.” I pointed out.

“Except that it was neither Manderly nor Redwyne appealed the King for leave to invade the islands, did they? No, it was Velaryon. And Velaryon wrote me for his help. Like it or not, this war is yours” He s...

Chapter Six: The Seadragon's Roar- Between the Demon and the Deep Blue Sea

—107 AC—

I stared at the letter with rage building in my gut. I knew there was something I failed to consider with this Baratheon squireship. Just go away for a few years, get stronger and develop at your own pace had been the offer, and I’d taken it like a good boy without pausing to think about what I would be missing. Now, I could see it clearly. Corlys’ letter wrote about the pirates in the Stepstones attacking Velaryon ships without hesitation nor fear of reprisal, and his...

Chapter Fifty-Nine: One Thousand Hands

“The Daimyo?” I asked Uraume as we stepped into my office with Uzume by our side this time. She hadn’t left since the ight ended, and considering that was the most fun I’d had in a long time, I ain’t much opposed to having her around.

“Looked into it, spoke to a few of the ministers that he came with that the Hyuga have business with. Offer him a place in Konoha, the security of our walls, promise him that nothing will touch him here, and he will be your man till the day he...
