Chapter 26.5- Doom Days

“Mr. Potter clearly knows who you-know-who is. The objection is baseless” Forswythe replied, not looking amused at all.

“I can not infer knowledge on Mr. Potter that he claims to lack, and I can not assume that the distinguished representatives of the ICW all have the cultural context to understand this niche reference. Objection sustained. The witness will tell us who he refers to” I swore I could see a glimmer of vicious satisfaction in Dumbledore’s eyes as he said that. We...

Chapter 45.5- One thousand Hands

Grandmother Mito shivered as the tail retracted and went right back into my body.

“I will never understand how you manage to work with that thing” She said, and there was actual hate in her voice.

“The Kyuubi and I understand each other well” I said, an understatement. We had come to an agreement of what we could and could not do with each other, and it was an agreement that we both could stand on and accept, I thought back to that first meeting after we had bumped fist....

Chapter 49.5- And so the Dragons Danced

I ignored the way she screamed in rage and rushed at me. Someone from her own side got a hold of her before she decided to commit suicide by Firebender. One of the more ridiculous ways to die. At least that was something.

“What do you want Natsu?” He seemed so tired. The nobles were watching him with sharp eyes- watching the both of us.

“You sent assassins after me and your sister. While the Avatar failed to kill me, he managed to kill Fire Lady Azula. I am here to challen...

“Drums” I commanded once we were in hearing range. The man beside me began to play, signaling to the other drummers on the other ships to begin to bang their own drums to the tune as well. The drums were to signal one of the oldest fire nation customs. It took three rounds, before we heard another set of drums from the pier. Zuko would take my meeting it seemed. To be a fly in the room where he explained to his cabal of rebels that Fire Nation tradition trumped everything he cou...

“Now we can go to school, kid” I said, standing back up and walking over to pick ups her school pack from Mito, and passing it over to her. Even with all the offers that Mito had refused, Kushina was still scheduled to graduate this year at the ripe old age of 9. Older than I was when I’d left the academy, but younger than either Mito or I would prefer. Traditionally, Konoha had a policy of never sending their Jinchuriki out to the front lines, but that policy had only been tested in on...

“Yes.” Bones finally said after looking at me for a while.

“Then that will be all for this witness” I said, taking a seat.

“Any re-examination questions?”

“Yes, Supreme Mugwump.”

“Madame Bones, is it within the rights for the Minister of Magic to prepare a trial without informing you?”

“Yes. Technically.”

“Then that will be all. I move to discharge this witness” He said.

“Granted. Defence, you can call your next wit...

“Good. So that means you agree with me that a person who lacked the dark mark would not be subject to the Act?”

“Yes.”

“So if Sirius Black lacks the dark Mark then he could not have been held awaiting trial in Azkaban”

“Yes.”

“Good. Mr. Black if you would” Sirius stood up, revealing both his arms as bare.

“Madame Bones, can the dark mark be hidden with illusion magic or transfiguration?”

“No. The magic of the mark fights any a...

“Not like that’s a high bar to clear” I said with a sigh.

“You need the clones to have an even better bearing of their bodies. They must not summon without ensuring the they take everything along” She said. I knew that. Of course, I know that. But it was easier said than done, and that as the problem. I made another clone, taking note of who the previous clone had tried and forming a new strategy.

“If only I could” I replied with a chuckle, leaning over to ruffle her hair. She slapped my hand away. Sadly, Toji had gotten to my little munchkin. For a blind kid, she cared about her appearance a bit too much.

“But you’re right Toph. There’s no use worrying about this now. We’ll cross all the bridges when we get there. Now, want to watch me toss lightning about?”

“Do I!?” She replied sarcastically, while failing to hide her enthusiasm.

I smiled and pu...

Chapter 45.2- One Thousand Hands

“Let this be your first embrace from one of your family. You are the best and worst of us. Lead us well and we will love you forever” He whispered in my ears. I hugged him back and the applause returned. When I let go, I was pulled into another hug. Contrary to what I had expected, having the Nine-tails extracted from her hadn’t affected Mito so strongly. I remembered her being bedridden after the procedure in canon, maybe it was because dozens of Uzumaki had worked to perfect the proce...

The journey to the fire Nation’ s capital began smoothly enough. I still didn’t enjoy being on a ship any more than usual, especially considering that I was surrounded by people who could become enemies at the drop of a hat. Toph was the only ally I allowed to remain in my presence. Toji and Maki were placed on different ships. Toji with the second group of possible traitors, and Maki with an unlikely pair who I felt would be watching the winds to decide whether they would betra...

Chapter 26.2- Doom Days

“What can you tell us about Mr. Black’s escape?” He asked.

“Not a lot. One day, he was in his cell. And the next, he was not. Unfortunately, we have still not been able to fully isolate what factors allowed his escape.”

“Could being an animagus have allowed him to escape?” The Ministry lawyer asked, gleam in his eyes.

“I am uncomfortable discussing the particulars of Azkaban’s security in such a public setting”

“That isn’t a no.”

“Before I begin, Supreme Mugwump, I would like to confirm the Mr. Black’s oaths are still binding”

“They are” Dumbledore said with a nod.

“May he be prompted to take the oath again?” He requested.

“That is conditional on Mr. Black’s acceptance” He said, looking over to me.

“My client is fine taking the oath again, as long as it is the same oath, if Mr. Forswythe needs him to to assuage his doubts” I said=, rising for a second before returning...

“And by what right do you presume that position? A son of Ozai still lives” Well, Hyo was one thing if not predictable. The old bastard would defend the status quo to his last breath. He was one of those I would either have to win over or get rid off before I officially took the throne.

“Zuko is a traitor, and a kinslayer twice over. He colluded to kill Ozai” I began with a lie, before continuing— “And he was the one to send the Avatar here. The same Avatar that killed his ...

Chapter 45.1- One Thousand Hands

There was music, there was. Dancing, and here was so much merriment heat it almost hurt my eyes when I looked around. Shocks of red hair surrounded me in the Uzumaki clan hall. It was a new building. Most of the buildings in the new Uzumaki clan compound hd been built in the last few weeks. I had been shocked and appalled to find that they were still being lodged in temporary accommodations little better than hovels while Konoha’s builders took their lovely time in building the clan compoun...

Chapter 25: The Trial- Doom Days

Dumbledore was wearing a set of maroon robes with stars all around them— stars that moved of their accord in some sort of intricate dance. If anyone had expected the man to wear something a bit less garish for opting as serious as an ICW meeting, then they would be sorely disappointed. His entrance marked the beginning of the serious business as everyone went to take their seats.

“Good day Gentlewizards and Gentlewitches, welcome to the three hundred and fourteenth annual congress o...

“Do I really need to be naked for this?” I asked her even as I resisted the urge to cover myself with my hands. I felt naked enough, no need to show just how self-conscious I was about the situation. Grandmother Mito laughed even as she passed a pot of ink to one of the other women. I was in a specially prepared sealing chamber, surrounded by nine of the best Uzumaki seal masters, and naked as the day I was born.

“Just be happy that Lady Mito vetoed letting us have our apprentice...

Chapter 48- And so the Dragons Danced (Complete)

Somehow, I managed to keep my grip on Aang robes even as we were carried into the hurricane. I could scarcely tell what was going on around us as we were swept around in its grasp, but that did not matter. I had the Avatar here with me, and I was going to put the bastard out of his misery. I raised a fist to his head and landed a straight jab to his face before I felt his feet on my chest, and he kicked me off of him, pushing me further into the hurricane. I tried to force my way back towards...

Chapter 48.6- And so the Dragons Danced

I scowled, pushing myself off from the boulder. I was leaning against. I’d recovered some of my energy at the very least, so it was enough to act as the spark for separating the positive and negative energies before smashing them back together in a lightning bolt that looked more like a stray lance of static. It did a good enough job of browning up the Avatar’s skin, however. We would keep both bodies away from the Fire Sage by all means. If the man got a look at them, then he had a good ...

“Human” his voice was a deep baritone that made my bones shake.

“Tailed Beast” I returned with confidence I didn’t really feel. If there was one thing I was thankful for, it was the fact that my mouth worked faster than my brain could comprehend.

“So this body is to be my prison” He said looking around the cavern. He seemed calm, but I was not going to fall for that. Foxes were known for being tricky for a reason, and this one was the greatest fox of them all.

Chapter 25.6- Doom Days

“So, Wizards and Witches, let us see that justice is done today and put a guilty man back where he belongs.” He rounded up to substantially less in the way of applause but I did not allow that to make me more confident than I should have been. They could clap one way and vote the other. It was the votes I needed.

“Now, the petitioner may open his case” He said.

“For my case, I shall call a single witness, Sirius Black himself” I said, and he took a step forward befor...

“Order” Dumbledore called after allowing the applause to go on for a few seconds.

“Now the Defence” He said.

“Gentlewizards and Gentlewitches of the ICW. Let us not allow flashy rhetoric and strong words sway us away from common sense and judicious application of the law. The Decree for Expedited Apprehension and Trial-less Holding, and Azkaban Transfer for Egregious Rebellion authorizes the ministry to arrest suspected death eaters and in situations where the ministry...

“Okay, even if…and that’s a massive fucking if— I want this, how do we get everyone to say yes? The military was only on-side because of Azula. With her gone, there’s no chance the generals don’t turn into squabbling children. They won’t bow to me. They don’t like me much just as I don’t like them much”

“They don’t need to like you. They fear you” Toji said, making me turn to him in shock.

When I woke up, I was in a grassy field. I could tell that the grass went on for farther than the eye could see. I was naked, but that didn’t seem to matter. Nothing seemed to matter to this place. I spotted a hill, and I just knew that I had to crest it. I took off on a run, and never even noticed when white robes appeared around my body, clothing and protecting me. My feet remained bare but there were no stones in the grass, just lush and soft soil. I ran across, running over...

“Noted. Now the Petitioner shall address this august body first.” Dumbledore said, waving a hand in my direction.

I stood, and audibly cleared my throat before turning so I was looking at the Representatives arrayed before me. They were the ones I needed to convince, not Dumbledore. The old man could do whatever the hell he wanted, but they were the ones that would vote.

“There is no greater privilege we enjoy as wizards and witches than liberty. We invented brooms and fly...

“That’s not what I mean. Azula is dead— not like she was that good a leader in the first place so to hell with her, and Zuko is worthless. Why do we have to bow to either of them. In front of me, I’ve got the only FireLord worth bowing to” He said, pointing at me.

“That’s a silly idea. My family hasn’t married into royalty in generations. I don’t have the blood.” I said.

“This is what I think about their blood right to rule” He said, and then spat on the ...

I smiled, trying not to show any of the nervousness I’d felt. I’d examined the seals a hundred and one times already. The Ninetails was going to be placed within my chakra network, but separate from it. It wouldn’t have any access to my mind or my emotions unless I let it. But if I failed to build a good relationship with him, then I’d have to spend a solid quarter of my chakra reserves focused on keeping him suppressed. With any other tailed beast, the chakra requirements would be mu...

He smiled, and I returned it even as the various representatives murmured to themselves during the recess. I reached into my pocket and began to go over some of my notes. It wasn’t anything for Sirius’ trial. I had that on lock already, but something I as working on for my next project. The fact that I now had a time turner for my personal use meant that I could take on more tasks. One of them? Mastering ancient runes. Tom Riddle had been beyond NEWT level in the subject and so I could re...

“Well that’s a fucked situation” I said as we all stared at Azula’s body. We had laid both her and Aang next to each other, dead as they were.

“Extremely so” Toji agreed. He’d been standing next to Azula and so had sustained a few burns on his body, but he could still stand, and that meant he could still plot.

“We burn the bodies” was the first thing Maki said.

“Why?” Toph wondered.

“Azula is dead from a lightning strike. Guess who...

Today, I become the Kyubi Jinchuriki, I thought to myself as I stared at the Kunai I’d marked with my complete Hiriashin. I could complain all I wanted about having so many Uzumaki’s hovering over me during the preparation process, but they had been helpful. Uncle Kaito, as he insisted I call him, had taken one look at my seal in progress and wacked me over the head before explaining seven different reasons why my seal was inefficient. It didn’t even matter that I was worki...
