I’d thought about it. Contemplated and thought about it for a while now. Years even if one aded the time spent in my coma. A summoning creature. I knew that if I begged Tsunade, she’d let me join her contract with Katsuyu and get all the benefits of being a slug summoner, and I knew I had enough leverage over Jiraiaya, emotional or otherwise, to get him to make me a toad summoner, but neither of those creatures would be mine. Not truly. Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were so strong with...

“How do you know about Ba Sing Se?” The question made his bones vibrate, such was the way it was screamed from the General right into his ears. If it had not been so loud, he might not even have heard it over the sound of his heart beating in his ears. His life was flashing right before his eyes in real time and he had no idea what to do. This was the kind of situation that he had not foreseen, but should have. He was kicking himself for the foolishness all the while trying to do his best...

“I doubt a humble mayor from Gaoling would matter much for such a purpose. Especially since I peacefully surrendered the city to you and have ceded all administrative authorities to you upon your arrival at the city as I have no doubt you have reported back to your people. The hawks fly quite brilliantly I must say. Such proud creatures.”
“And yet, five men made an attempt on my life two days ago on your orders” He accused. Kinvara was no stranger to this game. Deny, deny, and ...

“I don’t think we need her” I instantly refuted Izuku’s idea before he’d even finished bringing it up.
“Well, I think we do. The two of us have been working with each other for months now and I still haven’t managed to get anything done other than getting my ass kissed day in and day out”
“Not months. Between your missions, it’s more like only a few sessions of time we’ve gotten together. I think we can still achieve this if w...

GAARA OF THE DESERT
I wish I could have honestly said that Kabuto’s death had marked some kind of turning point in Sunagakure’s future, or even in my reign as kazekage. But it hadn’t. Sure, If I’d fallen into the temptation of declaring myself God-king of all that existed under the Sun, then things would probably have changed a lot but in the end I felt at the time that it would not have been worth it and I was right. I had much bigger threats to think about. Thankfully, Black Z...

I leaned out of the way of the kick and stepped further into his guard. His attempt to gain distance failed as I blocked an instinctive liver shot and retaliated with two quick punches to his head. He stepped back with each punch, trying to let the force move him to bleed out some of the momentum but that was a last ditch effort as best, and I snapped a side kick into his rib cage that sent him flying in that direction. He managed to land amongst the trees and I smiled at the fact ...

When Lin was the only one to return from the mission, and the fact that he was empty handed told him all that he needed to know. The man’s report had been useless in the end. A successful mission for the most part and then the Fire Nation General waking up at the very worst moment and taking out five men even while having his hands and feet bound was the kind of mess that only he could find himself in. He’d attempted to hope that the men would not break under interrogation, ...

Even as a child, Tom Riddle has had some amount of talent for the mind arts. The meeting with Dumbledore gained a different level of clarity when I experienced the memory with the understanding that a Tom Riddle who had been used to reading people like open books could not get a single glimpse into what Dumbledore had been thinking. During their trip to the alley, it was Dumbledore who advised Tom Riddle to be more careful with his legilimency probes. That action alone had probably saved the ...

She completed the suit, and I silently marvelled as she wasted no time in setting the bar to its highest weight and then stepped into the suit. It was a bulky thing. That was the first sign of Momo’s tiredness. For her quirk, complexity was the bottleneck and not size. It was actually easier to make a bulky suit like this one than it would have been to make a thinner, slicker model since that would have a lot more moving parts within it that she would have had to independently fabricate and...

Fuinjutsu a bust, the next logical coin was Ninjutsu. Wind or water. That was the basic question. I had the basic idea I could use something like the bubble head charm from Harry Potter to maintain a bubble of water above my head that was hollow from within where I could breathe through but the only problem with that was that I’d suffocate in virtually no time. Five minutes at the most from breathing the same air over and over again. I could also experiment with holding my breath for longer...

The conversation with Tobirama had not gone the way Kagami might have been expected. Sure, he was pissed at the danger I’d put myself in but it was not like I wasn’t already serving some form of punishment. I only really had two hobbies- hosting my dinners and training. The dinners were literally the only reason I hadn’t been lynched out of the village yet. Okay, that was an exaggeration, but it was not an exaggeration that hosting the relatives of the most powerful clan he...

“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. I was the leader now, and while these people were loyal to the Fire Nation just as I was...

The second trip to the alley was quicker than the first. A stop at my box to collect my potioneering equipment and about 30 magically inert flasks- basically my whole supply but I wasn’t attending potion classes so it was not like I had anything better to do with it. Especially since Potter had never needed the flasks in his potioneering kit in four years of magical education and since he had the habit off refilling the kit every year without fail, his flask supply had gotten somewhat ridi...

“That was very stupid” I agreed with myself instinctively until I realised I wasn’t the one that spoke and that I was staring into a pair of flashing red eyes. I shut mine instantly, never forgetting the lesson Izuku had taught me in our fight from so long ago.

“Salmon” I replied with no hesitation.
He stopped, and I snapped my eyes open but kept them aimed b...

We had no idea what tests remained but it was clear the several of the average performers were on their last legs.

Toru Hagakure did not deal well with fear. It was a fact of life. The sun rose in the east, water was wet, Toru Hagakure could not handle fear well. That was why when she saw the door snap shut and then lock itself, she let out a completely involuntary gasp. A gasp that her seeming captor managed to catch all the way from across the room. This was so unfair. She’d just wanted a peak. Just to see what kind of equipment he was packing. What was so wrong with that? Now she was about to get cau...

“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....

He leaned backwards, allowing the straight blade to pass through the space that his head had once occupied before body flickering straight backwards. His opponent made to chase but had to divert to avoid the series of arrows that speared themselves into the ground between them. The boy took in a deep breath and formed the horse seal before breathing an actual firestorm in the same direction as the sword wielding opponent. The fire travelled through the training ground but failed to have any m...

Finances in order, the next thing to do was obvious. Shopping. Tom Riddle had not been wealthy. Neither had Harry Potter for much of his life- at least he had not lived like a wealthy man. But Doom was a man of class and splendour. A man who had billions to his name, and even more under his command. If there was one thing he absolutely loathed, it was the feeling of low quality fabric on his skin and while he’d gotten by with Hogwarts robes and conjured underwear for the time being, all tha...

He wasn’t fast enough. The fire bender general turned away from him and instead jumped over Headhunter’s attempt to trip him up. It was a smooth backflip, the kind of thing that defied gravity with the chain on him. At the apex of his flip, he seemed to stop, hands on headhunter’s shoulders. In seconds, those same hands had moved in such a way that the chain was pressed against his colleague’s neck. When the General landed on his feet, Headhunter slammed into the floor a second earlie...
