I scowled at having my most powerful spell countered with such ease. When I moved my wand to cast my next spell, the half goblin chuckled again and then said, “I think I have seen enough. My turn now” He turned his wand to me and I felt the hairs on my body all rise as one. Danger. My whole body was screaming it at me. I waved my wand and several chairs and desks flew at the Charms Master but with a gesture, they came right back at me with double the force. I slashed my wand through the a...

Azula’s entrance to the fight was marked by an arc of blue flames. I had wondered whether Long Feng would remain content to hold her in reserve while he watched his men get slaughtered around him. That would have suited my purposes perfectly. As I cut through her flames and prepared myself to face one of the strongest firebenders of this generation, I cursed myself for not learning how to redirect lightning. It was a failing that could bite me in the back here. The only thing I had going fo...

The Dai Li fought like police officers. In the show, I’d been so awed at how skilled they appeared. With their signature rock gloves that they used in apprehending targets. Now that I thought about it, they were probably the inspiration that Toph had leaned on in creating her elite Metalbending police force in the Legend of Korra canon. But all that did not matter, because Police officers were police officers- more suited for capturing and chasing criminals than fighting for their lives in ...

He beat me to the punch again and sent two silvery lances of magic at me. I moved my wand away from the spell I’d been about to cast and called forth my intent before batting both spells in opposite directions. They hit the wall and did nothing further. I conjured a massive snake that reared its head up and slammed down at him. A piercing curse left his wand, shooting through the snake and then he vanished it, taking away the chance to use it for further transfigurations. With a heave, I dr...

A look at the sun’s position once I stepped out of the tower told me that it was just about time for Kushina to be finished at the academy. Sure, I could stop by the hospital to heal the few wounds that had managed to stick to my body, but Grandmother Mito could just as easily handle that when I got home, and shipping out tomorrow meant that I’d be hard pressed for time to spend with the little kid so it was best to get it over and done with as soon as possible.

Finding Orochimaru on the island was not hard. And if anything, it turned out that Sakumo had been understating things a quite bit. The man had half his stomach cut open. “You should see Kinkaku” was all the Snake shinobi had said when I expressed concern about his state. Of course, he knew the mystical palm jutsu so if he wasn’t using it then there had to be ample reason for that. I couldn’t check either. It was rude to scan people with doujutsu without permission. Also, I found that...

“Tell him what you told us” Toji said, turning to Captain Kai of the Wicked Wench. I turned to the man as well.
“I heard whispers that Long Feng and General Kali captured some Fire Nation bigshot and a lot of generals. They got a lot of soldiers as well” He said.

We continued to make our way into the base. Toph’s senses were of the utmost utility as they were what allowed us to pass several locked doors without any difficulty as we did not need to stop to check who was within. She would be able to tell the Princess apart from empty rooms or even rooms with other prisoners. I had her take not of those rooms just in case we needed to know where to open if we wanted to create maximum chaos.

I had expected the test to take place on a different occasion, on a different day.The extra time to prepare could have proven invaluable to me, and maybe Flitwick expected that to be the case because he motioned for me to leave the office and waved his wand on getting to the classroom.

“I told you there was nothing here.” He said as we walked into the gorge that held one of the city’s many internal lakes. Ba Sing Se was not a city. Not by any definition of the world. I had no idea why we had to stick with the convention that it was. For all intents and purposes, this was a kingdom on its own. That’s why Iroh’s siege had accomplished nothing. They had farms that spanned miles as well as nearly a dozen internal lakes to ensure that all the water and foo...

He said, and that was that on the subject even if both Danzo and I were visibly far from satisfied while Orochimaru looked to be amused with the whole thing. If I didn’t know that the snake Sannin was a psychopath, I might have actually been worried about the man’s comprehension skills.

When the class finally came to an end, I was not surprised when Flitwick asked me to remain behind. I was beginning to suspect that such would be the state of things with all the lecturers whose classes I would be attending today. If this was what NEWT level magic was in this day and age, then there was utility to be found in attending the lecturers. MCgonagalll hadn’t been teaching during Riddle’s time either, but considering Dumbledore had been the one handling the class in her stead, i...

Toph was antsy up until the second she put her feet on solid ground once more. The second she did so, she was almost jumping in joy. Her sigh of relief at being able to see again made me make a decision that as much as it could be avoided, I would not be subjecting that child to the torture of a wooden boat ever again.

We entered the village with little fanfare, and with my eyes io could see that the whole village was abuzz. There were dozens, if not hundreds of shinobi scurrying from place to place.

In one second, a group was dashing towards the Hokage tower and they crossed another group leaving the tower and heading to the Academy instead. From the academy came a group heading to th...

“The wand movement is a sharp jab.” He began, performing the jab without any incantation and letting us all have a view of it. “Now, your turn” he said to the class, and we all jabbed, more or less as one. As this was a NEWT class, there was no one who got that incredibly simple wand movement wrong. Those would have been sieved out either by the OWLs or the Sixth year classes which tended to be the hardest. He nodded as there were no surprises.

I’d never heard someone cut to pieces as efficiently as Danzo did. “That was a very stupid thing you did, Sakumo. A very stupid thing” he started with the second we left the island. I was suprised that Danzo himself had not started the betrayal during the hostage exchange and attacked the Iwa and Kumo folks but he’d probably done the math and seen that we stood no chance in that fight and so he held his peace until we were well on our way. And after that, he did not hol...

It was perhaps a blessing that Toji’s senses were so much better than mine.
