Chapter 37.2- One Thousand Hands

Before the smoke from their unsealing had even cleared fully, the one to the right fired several needles like bullets from a gatling gun, forcing me to spin into a kaiten to prevent any of the needles from finding purchase in my oh so delicate skin. In the end, the rate of fire was massive, but only able to be maintained by the puppet for a few seconds before it clicked closed, and I came out of spin to the sight of Uraume landing a hit right against one Chunin’s chest. She didn’t send he...

He looked around us, probably finding that my words were broadly correct and nodded.

“So how do I do this? Just give each one a wave and see what happens?”

“Exactly” I said with a smirk building and just waved my wand once to pick up all the wands and gather them into a pile.

“You’re getting better at that” Sirius said, and I resisted the urge to preen at the praise. Two-Thirds of my person was made out of attention starved teenagers who absolutely craved po...

I laughed. I could not help it. I laughed, and not a chuckle or a snigger, but a full blown laugh that had me doubled over and struggling to stand.

“If you think that is an offer worth anything, then you clearly failed to listen when Jeong-Jeong told you about me. I am Natsu Wu, General of the Fire Nation. Heir to the Wu family. I do not surrender. I do not retreat. I do not lose. You will fight me, you can resist for a time, but you will fail. When I kill you here, I will send your...

“And this is the very last one? You are completely certain?” I said, turning to Toji, even while I addressed the question to Long Feng.

“It is, Natsu. This is the last one of the rebels who went through the actual joining ceremonies. All the others are mere sympathizers who never officially joined the organisation.”

“And how useful was the Princess in dismantling this….organisation?” I used the word very loosely. There were chaos-creators and terrorists, but organis...

Chapter 37.1- One Thousand Hands

That very morning, a team of Chunin under the command of a Jounin were sent out from the Suna camp. The fact that they were making their way back towards their village at pace left little doubt in our minds as to why exactly they had been dispatched and what they sought to achieve. It was just a shame that they had bitten off more than they could chew and even worse had no idea what they had gotten themselves into.

We tracked them for an hour, following as they tried to cover as much gr...

“Well, thanks for ending a good fight just when it was getting good” I said as I stepped out of the crater that had been caused by the explosive tags that Piandao had left behind in making his escape.

“Piandao the Weasel? That absolute fraud? What could have been a good fight about that?” Uzume asked with a scoff. Part of me wanted to know where the strange accusation had come from, but I did not have the time to wonder as to the going-ons of Uzume’s mind.

“Look arou...

“This is a terrible idea”

“Do you want to be an animagus or do you not want to?”

“I want to be an animagus, but getting stuck in the body of a beast is not something I particularly fancy, Sirius”

“I have a wand, Harry. Ill-fitting as it might be, I can get a good enough job done with it to turn you back if you get caught”

“Speaking of that, why haven’t you gotten a new wand yet?”

“Helloooooo. Wanted man here. Escaped Azkaban tenants ca...

Chapter 17: Doom Days (Complete)- Date Me

In the end, it had taken two days to smuggle Sirius into the castle, and into the Room of Requirements. Two days. Not a lot of time for Muggles, but for Wizards, spending so long in travel might as well have been an eternity. That made sense, though. Cross-continental apparation was possible for a select few, and those without the power to attempt it could rely on Portrays that could take one all the way across the world in a manner of seconds. It was another way that we stood above our muggl...

Chapter 17.6- Doom Days

“Oui, Oui, A thousand times Oui” The Veela said as she jumped from the chair to enclose Hermione’s best friend in our arms. Hermione silently wondered if she knew who she was quoting. Did they have Jane Austen in the wizarding woirld? She doubted it. Especially because the woman’s work was post statute of secrecy. On the other hand, she could very well have been a witch. Shakespeare and Dostoyevski had been wizards after all. She silently noted it down for further research, while sile...

Chapter 40.6- And so the Dragons Danced

“General Natsu, then. I assure you we just came to talk. Why else would the two of us, Firebenders one and all, come at this auspicious moment” He said.

“And what stops me from having my companions kill you where you stand?”

“Me.” Jeong-Jeong said.

“I have no idea what you might think, but I am not so attached to you, my former teacher, that I would ignore the chance to do my duty to my Nation” I said with a scoff.

“Not that, of course. But last I c...

Chapter 36.6- One Thousand Hands

It turned out I was right, I thought to myself as I got to the halfway point of the journal. The style was wildly divergent in the way it shifted from his thoughts on Senjutsu and feeling out and finding sage energy for the first times to his studies learning lightning release. The fact that he had only even stuck with lightning release because of how good Tobirama was with it was another bit of comedy that made the two men seem like real people in my eyes- real brothers.

The sun was j...

Chapter 36.5- One Thousand Hands

X-

A week since we had been sent out here, and there was no doubt that Suna had wisened up to what was going on now. Uraume still kept an eye on their movements and found that they had begun to panic in small ways. The officer in charge, a no-name Jounin had already held close to a dozen meetings with his best agents so far. We also got a front row seat to the effect of Shiba’s bugs in one. Sadly, the tainted water had not made it as far as we’d expected in terms of what it had bee...

Chapter 17.5- Doom Days

I took a breath and allowed magic to effuse every fiber of my being as I prepared the spells I was about to unleash. Sirius had been a prankster and womanizer of legendary renown back in his day. That meant he had bits of magic just waiting to be adapted to whatever situation he had to adapt it to. What I was about to use was one of those bits of magic- except scalded up suitably. I walked further into the hall making a beeline for the Ravenclaw table where I could see her sitting with her fr...

Chapter 40.5- And so the Dragons Danced

 Even without trying, I knew I would not be able to generate even the smallest wisp of flame. Internal firebending was also impossible. To put it succinctly, since the day I entered the academy, I had never been so vulnerable. Even that version of me, soft as a cloud and raw as sushi would have had an easy time killing me in my present state. I instantly took a step back from the balcony as I realised that I would never be able to react to an arrow in time without heat enhancing my inter...

The afternoon came without much fanfare. Toph finally managed to drag herself away from her ever-growing pile of poorly seasoned meat to join us in the office and she and Toji decided to strike up a game of chess. Pai Sho existed in this world as opposed to Chess, but very early on in life, I’d made the decision to never play the dreadful game and to burn every set I came across. The old man had managed to swindle a dozen wins in a row out of mw with the game’s nonsensical rules, ...

I nodded at her words, it explained the sudden shift in his demeanor between the last time I’d seen him and just now. But then that brought the question of why Shiba had given him the bugs if they already knew the effects. Something about the question must have shown on my face because Shika simply muttered, ‘later’ to me while we began planning in earnest.

After the first attack, we had a more comprehensive view of Suna’s situation. “My time in their camp gave us a lot to wo...

Chapter 17.4- Doom Days

“-“

I kept my eyes locked on him until he nodded, showing his understanding. Sirius was not like most wizards who had been a part of Dumbledore’s Order. He was a Black. And no matter how he denied the effects of the name on him, Tom Riddle had attended Hogwarts around the same time as Alphard Black, and the similarities between the two were not merely physical. Sirius had a wicked sense of humor, and a mean streak a mile wide. He had been the one to tell Severus Snape just how exa...

In the end, the day of Black Sun came like any other. The sun rose from the East, and seemed like it would set in the west. The birds chirped and sang from rooftop to rooftop, and the food still tasted like absolute arse.

“One would wonder if the Earth Kingdom has never heard of spice before” I said, making the last spoonful I could shove down before pushing the plate away.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, this is delicious” Toph leaned over and dragg...

_ “And you’re sure this will work” I said, not even trying to hide the doubt in my voice.

“Which one of us has decades of experience with women?” He retorted

“Neither of us. You had a single decade, and then 12 years in Azkaban. Surely, the dementors don’t count”

“Well, I assure you they took only a single look at me and wanted to suck me off so you can doubt my charm all you want.”

“First of all, ew. Secondly, ew. Thirdly, fuck you very muc...

“We did.” I replied, saying nothing more.

“And you didn’t bother poisoning it?” She asked.

“Shiba’s insects have left a nasty enough surprise for anyone with a chakra network who dares to drink the water”

“What kind of surprise?”

“Tiny, nearly microscopic bugs that eat chakra to grow. At rest, they’re the size of dust mites. When consumed by someone with as much chakra as a Jounin, they could grow to the size of dogs” I said with a shrug. T...

_ The rest of my preparations for the eclipse consisted of ensuring that the non-benders in the army were the ones posted at key locations on the day of the black sun. Hiding the eclipse itself would be beyond the realm of possibility, but that isn’t mean I could jot hide its effects/ Long experience with people told m that not much was known about bending and benders by people who didn’t have the gift. Even at that, earthbenders knew little about firebending, the same way that fireb...

Chapter 36.2- One Thousand Hands

We ran along the floor for a few miles before we reached the first trees that had not been devastated by my large scale ninjutsu and began hopping along. All the while I kept my byakugan active to make sure that no one was following or tracking us as we travelled. Even with that, Izuku still doubled back every few miles too eliminate whatever traces we left behind. Things like footprintsa, broken twigs or weakened branches as well as scent. Konoha had the best trackers and sensors in the worl...

“Spit it out then, don’t leave me on the edge of my seat forever.”

“The ICW predates the ministry by a fair bit. In England, at least. In fact, the ministry was created to fulfill ICW mandates for protecting the Statute of Secrecy. So when it comes to England, there was no ministry to sign the Charter, so the six most prominent wizarding families at the time stepped up and did the signing: Gaunt, Black, Nott, Parkinson, Bones, and Peverell, to be precise. As a signatory to the C...

Chapter 16- Doom Days- "Sirius Yule Preparations" (Complete)

I stared at my reflection in the conjured mirror. I was wearing presentable robes and had come up with a good plan after research into the intended target. Getting a date was a lot like an assassination, I had come to learn. You had to learn the target’s likes and dislikes, the ins and outs of their daily routine, and then stalk them for a long period of time before deciding the right time to strike. For me, that would come at the end of Arithmancy class. That was the time when she was most...

I took a deep breath in and then exhaled as I let go of the bow’s string. It snapped into place, sending the arrow flying and right into the stomach of my straw target. I twisted my lips at the sight. Especially as Toji began applauding.

“I’d been aiming for the head” I said with audible disappointment bleeding into my voice without my input.

“And just a day ago, you’d been missing the whole body. It’s progress. Good progress”.

“I have just a month to ma...

He jumped between trees and held his breath as another patrol made their way past him. By his side, Toshiro and Shika were similarly still and once the patrol passed, they exploded into movement once again. Their mission was simple. Simple but insanely difficult, just like most things ended up being. He felt the warm brush of Toshiro’s chakra as it cloaked them once more, but now to achieve a different aim. Invisibility had been necessary when out in the forest, ...

“Maybe if the war was against the Earth Kingdom or one of your water tribes” The man chortled, receiving a glance from his older compatriot.

“What Jeong-Jeong means to say is that contrary to what it might seem like from the outside looking in, the FireLord is not absolute. There are basically four major powers in the Fire Nation- the Noble Class, the Military Class, the Merchant Class, and the Fire Lord himself. The Fire Lord is more politically powerful than any single one of th...
