The next test ended up being the Standing deadlift. I could already tell how this was going to got go at this point now the we had reached the halfway point. We had no idea what tests remained but it was clear the several of the average performers were on their last legs. Even people like Bakugo who had been phenomenal all the way through were still beginning to feel the exhaustion creeping in on them. The swim had contributed a lot to it. Especially since Aizawa hadn’t given anyone any cha...

He stared out from the balcony as he watched his men move in unison and then execute each step of the complex Kata flawlessly. It was the work of days of effort aimed at a single goal- Getting his men ready for what was coming. Against all odds, Kinvara had managed to send one message out before my arrival in this city,. The fact that I only found out about it when I ordered his things searched after ordering his execution gnawed at me. Without that order, it was more than likely that I would...

“The moon? You want to go pick a fight on the moon? What is even on the moon?” She asked instantly.
“Let me tell you a story, Temari. In the beginning of the world, there was no chakra. None at all. All this world had was a tree. A massive tree that reached up into the heavens and bore a single fruit. When the tree bloomed, a Princess from another world came here and harvested the fruit for herself. She ate the fruit, and became the first ever user of chakra. The tree that had bo...

It was quite impressive, in the end. That Kinvara felt so loyal to his friend that he was going to refuse the chance to get away scot-free. Of course, he would not have. The offer was a smokescreen because I would never really have allowed the attempt against my life to go so unpunished, but the fact that he could say no to that almost made me want to keep him alive. Almost. I nodded at the guards on the Compound’s outer walls and made my way within.

I leaned backwards to avoid the first punch. Kagami pressed around me with a kinda aimed at our opponent's head. He was stopped dead in his tracks. His kunai rested against the lightning armour that surrounded the Raikage, making exactly zero headway. Kagami’s eyes widened just as mine did in the same second. I pushed off with one arm and sent the older Uchiha flying while his kick landed against my unprotected midsection and sent me flying away as well. I chuckled as I realised what had ju...

He swam to the surface in a second while feeling at his chakra and converting it to the spiritual energy that allowed him to knit the tears across his muscles and the tiny fractures along his ribcage. If he hadn’t prepared in time, that hit would have caved in his chest, but instead now he just had to make sure he hadn’t left Kagami in too much of a fucked situation. One foot after the other, he pulled himself up to the water’s surface and took stock of what was going on. Water walking ...

A tailed beast. A force of nature. Beyond er lessons in the academy, and theoretical lessons with Sarutobi-sensei where they discussed strategies for countering Jinchuriki in case the war ever did break out and they were forced to confront them, she knew virtually nothing about them. Food thing was she was not the one taking lead in this case. As they dashed towards the rampaging six-tails, Sarutobi-Sensei weaved seals at a rapid pace. Sh recognised them without trouble...

We were late. I could see it the moment we arrived. Granduncle Tobirama had made three clones and drawn a giant seal beneath our feet to use the flying thunder god jutsu to teleport us to the clan head’s house. The first sign that we were late was the fact that I could see the Night sky without even activating my doujutsu. I’d learned my lesson from the Kuchiyose and didn’t think while teleporting into an active war zone was the right time to check what I could or couldn’t see. I acti...

This was doable. I could do it. I cold beat the Raikage. I allowed myself to exhale, and felt some of the pent up tension that had built across my body to relax. I just had to follow the plan and make sure I did my bit, and this would be easy. Okay, not easy, I silently amended as I was forced to move into a body flicker to dodge away from another lightning straight. After that, I ducked underneath a kick that had come from virtually nowhere as he predicted my route of escape and moved to clo...

“I don’t. You’re right. But I did fight the greatest Earthbender in the world, and I beat him. I can already tell you don’t compare. Not yet, at least” I said.
“I’m the greatest earthbender in the world” She asserted.

After chuckling to myself at the pun, I took stock off my situation with a grim smile. Only three chakra points. The Raikage was a beast of a man. The moment he barrelled into me, he was already working to separate us. It took all I had to manage to tag him thrice in that time frame. Sixty-four of the right chakra points could end a fight. To be fair, just 16 of them could a fight, but those 16 tended too also be the hardest to close because every shinobi, even children knew to guard them wit...

When Tobirama entered the fight, everyone and their cousin knew. The Northern front was right off the coast and they were succeeding in pushing their way into the Island proper with every minute that passed. Tobirama weaved a set of seals faster than my eyes could truly comprehend and in a second, more water than I’d ever seen in motion rose from the sea and slammed into the massive Eight tails. The beast’s killing intent was almost cut off for a second as it was blanketed by the water an...

“No, no. Not my daughter. She is frail and blind and can not even understand what is going on here. She can’t offer you anything. Please.” There was real horror in his face. His wife’s arm had tightened around Toph so much that if the girl were truly as frail as they thought, then she would have already been screaming in pain. But she took it all with nary a flinch.

Keeping his eyes in front of him, he started with the most apparent problem. A sweep of his wand sent a rush of fire right at his front. The spiders skittered backwards in a rush to avoid it. I took advantage of the lull to turn to the right. There were three of them. One on a three, and two running across the ground. The one on tree took a piercing curse to one of its eyes and fell to the floor dead, while the two along the ground were foolish enough to run at the same speed. A wide angled C...

I ran across the tight rope like I was running along the floor. For all intents and purposes, I basically was. I ended up finishing the test in 4 seconds, to the stunned awe of much of the classroom. Of course, I wasn’t stupid enough to believe awe was the only emotion being displayed there. The bottom half of the classroom was going to be dropped from the course. That was the threat. It meant that when I succeeded, I got quite a few looks as people began to understand their places in the p...

“You could just ignore it, you know? No need to act. Their plan failed, leave it at that” Amara was the first to speak after I briefed what had become my command team with Sung’s departure. They were basically the ones who had led the planning of Operation Firestorm that led to us taking Ba Sing Se with the notable additions of Toji and Maki who both got side looks but had nothing addressed to them.

“Nice cooking, Shori. Almost didn’t believe your grandmother when she told me you were offering to host all of us for dinner” Granduncle Tobirama said while tapping his stomach and stacking his empty dishes. I smiled at the compliment but said nothing more.

“Go wash your hands, Kushina” I said, as I saw her marching her way to the plates already laid down even if she did start by complaining about the food.
“Besides, what do you mean by again. We haven’t had steak in three days” I replied when the nature of the complaint finally sunk in.

“I will” I said, stepping forwards only noticing at the very last second that I hadn’t been the only one to volunteer myself for the task. Mina had also stepped forwards at the same time. Aizawa looked at the both of us, and simply turned to his side and called Bakugo to go first. It was almost like he was scoffing at us for being so quick to volunteer. Bakugo, of course, did not hesitate to grab the challenge laid before him with both hands. He climbed up to the top platform in virtual...

“Well, now that that is all in order. Happy Birthday Uzume” I said, taking a wrapped gift box out of the storage seal on my bracers in one movement and passing it over to her. I ignored the way her face flushed red at the reminder. We had been friends for years now, and if there was one thing I knew for sure it was that her family did not celebrate birthdays. Most of the Uchiha clan did not, in fact. So that meant that when Toshiro and I had given her gifts for her first birthday ...

Acromantula, he instantly recognised, and his body was moving before he had finished the thought.
“Ignis inhaere” I muttered as I pointed my wand right at the creature. The fire cutter split the thing in two, neatly cauterising both halves and forcing it to land to either side of me and not on my person. Those reflexes. They had been all Potter, I realised. Tom Riddle knew the dark arts, Doom had the creativity to bring magic to bear to tremendous effect, and Potter just had sheer ...

He ached to curse the Centaur for the words it had just spoken, but the thought of dealing with an enemy who had their back turned to him rubbed him all the wrong way. It was not in the nature of Doom to attack like a coward. It was also not in the nature of Doom to let an insult go unanswered. He consoled himself with the knowledge that he would return to this forest one day or the other, and then he and the Centaurs could answer the question of what shined brighter- mars or his rage.

He skated across the ground, moving backwards like h as moving on ice and not water and allowing the fire balls to keep coming after him. She allowed her attack lead him right into Izuku’s waiting grasp, and her Cousin took no time in striking with all the force of an enraged god. Fire cloaking his fists, he punched right at Shori’s head from behind on his way out of a body flicker. Shori dodged the attack like he had seen it coming from miles away which was probably the case, but that wa...

“Seven thousand Galleons” I repeated with a mental whistle at the thought of taking such a hit to my finances. It as part of the reason I’d been so quick to sell the venom to the goblins at the price I did. It was why I knew that I’d have to pursue means of generating income sooner rather than later. From my first life, it had been a long time since I’d had to worry about how much something cost before buying it, and new life or not, Doom refused to live as anything but what he was....

Disillusioned and disguised, he began his trek towards the forbidden forest. The Chamber of the Secrets had a few entrances and exits that he was aware of, and probably more that he had never been able to find. One of them was right into the heart of the forbidden forest, and that was what he was going to be using. Considering Tom had been the last to see it, he did not feel comfortable enough to consider apparating to it. Ginny had been possessed by the Diary for a whole year so it would not...
