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...

Water continually poured onto the battlefield from above them. There was no pause in thew flow and I reached out with my chakra, feeling at the water and taking note of the flow in my mind. Some of it had gotten absorbed in the ground immediately, but th water was flowing too quickly for that to happen. It was beginning to pile up now, even as it flowed through the floor and across it and on it. Sinking an island was far from an easy feat, and that was what it seemed like Jin...

“Captain Kai then” I said, taking note of the title with ease.
“Your people said you’d pay in gold. For keeping you here and letting you heal and all” He said, making me narrow my eyes at him. He was making an effort to speak in a more colloquial tone. It just sounded artificial and forced. Of course, he misinterpreted my narrowed eyes and put his hand on the hilt of the blade he wore on his lips. To his credit, he managed to avoid me laughing openly in his face because I had...

“Whale Secret Art: Blubber shield” I aid, feeling my skin shift and change as it erupted to grow several thick layers of fat over itself that kept on growing more and more. My entire body was more than covered in the thick fat by the time the explosive tags went off. I also got to enjoy the sight of Kubo Yatsuki panicking as he realised the substitution jutsu that was supposed to take a hold of him did not work. To his credit, the panic had not even lasted up to a second and he was alread...

“Yes, Sophie. I saw the way he struck the beast with lightning. I was there remember?” Fleur was at the edge of just sighing with irritation and tossing something at her friend who seemed to be taking the opportunity to tease her relentlessly for her defeat.
“And then there was the runic magic. Who would have expected to see that kind of thing here of all places? You know they managed to get Sophie Devereaux to comment on it and she had a lot to say” Her friend...

I spotted a salvo of shurinken from Kubo’s position even as I maintained pursuit. I did not react, only flexing my chakra in preparation. They caught on my wind armor for a few seconds before returning back where they’d come from at double the speed. Of course, that was not enough to catch the S-ranker lacking and he made short work of blocking them before retreating even deeper.. I pursued, almost heedless of the possible dangers. At least, that was what I was trying to sell to them. Wit...

When I came to, the world was spinning around me. A concussion, I diagnosed in seconds. One advantage of my body in this world was that it was basically superhuman. I pulled at my inner flame. That heat that distinguished me from the rest of the world and brought it to the forefront. I let out a breath that I knew would probably have steamed in the air outside. I did not open my eyes. That would hurt. I’d learned that lesson early on. Instead, I tried to think about what had led me here. Co...

A fourth boulder fell before me and this time I did not even feel my body give out. Suddenly, I was on one knee and struggling to breathe. I wasn’t tired. I knew I wasn’t. It was just that my body could not take the influx of positive and negative energies that came with channeling and using lightning. It was fine in small doses, but four lightning bolts in quick succession was probably more than anyone else would even have been able to attempt. Still, the failure stung. Especially when t...

But did it even matter why? Part of me said yes. Another said no. Either way, Skeeter would pay. And she would pay heavily. I retreated from the hall towards the stairs and once there, adorned myself with my cloak the second I was sure no one was looking. Sound muffling charms and scent masking ones flew my wand in quick succession as I covered myself in my standard cocktail of anti-detection means. I made the journey to the room in no time at all, and once there, the books I needed revealed ...

I jumped right at her, even as I could see Kubo jumping at me from the other side. It didn’t matter. In a race like this, I could allow my wind armour carry me through the distance. As expected, the Yonbi jinchuriki saw the missile head9ng for her and decided to get the hell our of dodge, I smashed right through the tree she’d just been standing on, flipped in mid air to place my feet against the one behind it and then pushed off to catch her in mid air. “Lariat” I proclaimed to the w...

It was perhaps a blessing that Toji’s senses were so much better than mine. Because if I had been the one to spot a massive boulder flying right at us almost too quickly for us to truly see, I hd no idea how I would have reacted. Perhaps I would have attempted to destroy it head on. I would surely have sought out Toph, the young girl who had grown so precious to me in the time since I’d taken her from her family. Toji worried about none of that. He saw the boulder coming and simply shoute...

I ducked underneath a boulder sent for my head and cut through the next two before jetting across the ground that separated the two of us. Just as I moved, she did the same. Her feet shoved themselves into the ground and the very earth itself dragged her farther away from me. I landed where she had just stood with a smile on my face.
“That’s a good one” I said, bringing an end to the brief spar.

Not the least of those reservations were the significant amount of resources being shunted into this project of hers.
“And so your fear of him necessitates this?” He asked, waving his hand around them to indicate the construction going on. They stood atop a wall that was at least a dozen feet high and had not existed there a scant few days ago. It was just his luck that Kuie was such an idiot. Very few of his predecessors would have failed to notice such a massive project tak...

He stared at her. To his eyes, there was only one thing she seemed to represent. That was danger. Danger of a sort that could scarcely be compared. She had surrendered, as had the majority of her forces. He had them dead to rights, but still somehow he felt like he was not the one fully in control of the situation. It was the paranoia from his training, he told himself. The Dai Li were the best in the world at what they did, and with the remnants of the Earth Kingdom a...

Coming to the Great Hall today seemed to have been a mistake, I decided, as I noticed that the stares on me were shifting in nature. I had entered the hall to smattering of applause but even hat little excitement was beginning to dry up as they read through the paper. The article was everything but charitable. It spoke about how I allowed the hellhound to disable fellow champions Krum and Diggory. There was even a seemingly throwaway line that suggested that Fleur and I had teamed up from the...

He took a half step back that transitioned into a full one forward in less than a second and two hands rose in a series of jabs that I could just keep ahead of. I leaned backwards to avoid the third punch and blocked the fourth from his wrist with my forearm. My fingers lashed out again. He pulled back, just managing to stay ahead of me. I pursued him, stepping up the tree as we continued to fight. He sent a roundhouse kick that I blocked with only a single arm. He strained against me, but I ...

It turns out I was wrong, I thought to myself as I stared at the Daily prophet and rubbed at my forehead. Part of me had been sure that their sense of national pride would overcome whatever urge they had to be sensational and sell copies. I had been sure that they would have leaned on the gap between Krum and I. The difference between our performances. I had laid it up for them perfectly on a platter. One didn’t need to be a writer of any skill to tell the story that I knew people would hav...

The trees that held the Hellhound still jerked sharply under my will and moved the best out of the way of the spell. Just like I’d suspected, the silvery spell tore through the few plants that were in its way and then had a short struggle with the wards around the arena where it threatened to pass through the powerful words that Dumbledore himself had set up before it dissipated. I turned to look at Delacour and she sheepishly returned my gaze from her crouched position. She’d attempted t...

FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WORLD WAR
By general consensus, they would be steering clear of the Land of Whirlpools for this mission so that meant they would have to sneak past the Land of Hot Springs. The Uzumaki clan, in the wake of the attack and their planned exodus to Konoha’s aegis had activated a series of protections around the island that basically made that entire area impassable to all but those who held the blood. The whirlpools that had once been tamed to act...

I sped up, activating my wind armor just as I landed on the ground and zipped right in the midst of the Iwa shinobi. They were already moving, this collection of skilled jounin. They all jumped out of the way of my grasping fingers, making sure to keep their distance. I turned to them and tilted my head as I noticed that not a single one was coming forward to meet me in taijutsu. I took my stance to invite an approach. Still nothing. In another blink of an eye, I was spinning. The revolving h...

They were all supposed to arrive for talks on one of the two islands at the same time or roughly the same time. They were also supposed to be limited to a fixed number of representatives. Instead, I watched with my byakugan as 15 Kumo Jounin fell upon the island Danzo and I were scouting. Of course, we remained hidden. I had the largest chakra reserves of the four of us so I was the one who stuck out most even with chakra suppression so I was the one who was chosen to stay with Danzo whose ju...

“What’s up?” She asked and I smiled at the phrasing. There was no one I was more unguarded with than Toph. And because of that, even more phrasings from my first life had been shared between the two of us. The young blind girl picked them up with ease and seemed to have a fun time trying to figure out the meaning of phrases I used from the context and nothing more. So far, she had an impressive accuracy rate and was getting better with time.

She still had maybe a decade left in her since she was yet to hit that bedridden stage that I knew would mark the beginning of the end so I was fine with kicking the problem down the road, and it seemed that both Hiruzen and Mito were as well.

Six months had passed since that day. Granduncle Tobirama died. He had a burial ceremony as befitting any Kage, and the world itself was darker for it. He was gone. Completely. It turned out that the act of affirming Tsunade as the next Senju Clanhead was enough to overrule the previous words stated in his will. Especially because he had done it in front of Hiruzen who was a competent witness as to his mental state. Part of me felt like the reason for that was because the will itself was too ...

I handed the piece of Rosewood and Veela hair back to her hilt first and she took it with a frown on her face. “That was not appreciated” She continued, speaking in French.
“Stealing the kill that was mine was not appreciated as well” I said in reply.
