I leaned put of the way of a sword that threatened to cleave my head from my neck and failed to dodge out of the way of the kick that followed, tossing me backwards, and making me slam into the ground with a huff. I snarled as I got to my feet again and body flickered at my opponent. Her eyes did not move to even show that she acknowledged my approach, but just as awards, that damn sword was there threatened to cleave my fingers in two. She leveraged her position to swing the sword properly a...

But that was only if the worst happened. This meeting could easily be as much an opportunity as it was a danger, and that was what I had to work with. I had to work with the hope that this could turn into the best case scenario. Peace in my time. I could not deny the temptation that came with a prospect like that. So much had been wasted in War. So much more would be wasted if thing continued as they had. Sure, Konoha was basically tapped out with most of their village in ruins, but Kiri had ...

“How are we going to approach this?” She asked as we walked into the Mountain Pass that marked the beginning of what was ostensibly Fong controlled Territory. It was called Fong-controlled, because he was something of a rogue element within the Earth Kingdom’s military apparatus. He acted as he willed and did not necessarily answer to the broader earth kingdom hierarchy. Part of it had to do with how remote he as and how it was just too difficult to control his actions, but the other pa...

It had been a week since he received his promotion, along with command of what had once been Major General Sung’s division- Lieutenant General now, he supposed. Now it was his. The First Division of the fire nation Army, Battalion 1 under the command of Major General Natsu of the noble Wu family, was the official name of his command. And his command now held the Earth Kingdom City of Omashu. He held it under the grace of the noble FireLord so he did not have carte blan...

UZUME UCHIHA- SEVEN YEARS BEFORE THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WORLD WAR
She could not think of a time that she had ever seen her Sensei so furious. He was a Jounin and was marvellous at hiding his emotions, but there were small tells that he let loose. The silence, the stiffness in his posture, the way he’d sharply signed at them to return to the village instead of investigating the Chunin’s disappearance like they’d originally planned, but she figured the presence of an Iwa kill squa...

I shrugged my shoulders around my brand new chunin vest, trying to get used to the weight. I hadn’t expected to receive the promotion after what I’d done at the Chunin exams. It was something I tried to remove my mind from as much as possible. Except it turned out that my Granduncle did not seem to care much. He tossed me the vest as I left his office and left it at that. Toshiro had received his a few days later. It would have been something to be proud of had I been anyone else. But I w...

I soared in the air, using my sand as a platform as Mebuki and Dragon remained behind me as silent sentinels. We’d had a very cute moment that was very shonen-esque with the whole village showing up to see me off as I journeyed to the Land of Iron for a summit with the potential to determine all their fates and that of their descendants- or even if they’d ever get to have any. Even the ‘Daimyo’ had come all the way to the village to see me off. He’d also made the decision to enter i...

He returned to a village in a much better state than he had feared. As he flew down to the Land of Wind, all the while regretting not spending any energy on time in trying to reverse engineer the Flying Thundered or even a basic teleportation seal of his own. He knew it was illogical. He could have spent every day for years working on it, but without a base to work off of, it would have been the work of decades of intensive effort. It hadn’t been worth it to him then. Not by any means. But ...

“The tools of the Sage of Six Paths?” I replied, running over each word slowly. What sort of hare brained scheme was I about to get let in on. Those tools were stupid as fuck. Word soul? Taking out a person because they say the word they say most often? Sure, it made for a very interesting fight scene in the anime as we watched Darui and the Kumo contingent try to figure out how the weapons worked, but it was just too unrealistic in this universe. Very few shinobi spoke in combat. Even wo...

“Seven tailed beasts? Can anyone even control such a force?” Tsuyashiro asked
“There’s little need for control when he could just point them our direction or release them in our vicinity” Chiyo sniped back.
I agreed with the woman. Kabuto, one way or another, had Madara under his control. I had no idea how he was doing it, but he had maneovered himself into a position where he had the world at his feet, and the entire continent for the taking. I knew the meeting he call...

“I had no choice. Danzo-sama gave an order, and I could not refuse” She froze.

Tobirama Senju was a stern man. This was not a realisation by any means. A single look at his face showed that for all the world to see. But what most people did not realise was that that attitude disappeared at the door when it came to family. It was part of the reason why I was so certain that I wouldn’t be in any trouble at the end of the day. I even doubted he would care about some experiments. And I was right. He listened to Sakumo with a keen ear and then asked the man to excuse us so...

They travelled to Konoha quickly, not bothering to stop or even make camp for any means. Sensei’s displeasure hung over them like a cloud. She could see how Toshiro ached to speak to Shorirama. To ask about the Byakugan, or even the sudden increase in his skills, or one of the million thins the boys whispered about when they were too far away from her to hear what they said. The desire would go unfulfilled for a while however as they were forced to travel in silence until they arrived at th...

So of course he had to visit her in their prisons. He walked in to find the place just as he had expected it to be. Not every aspect of Sunagakure’s operations had seen his attention or influence. He could admit with some form of shame that he had a tendency to focus on the exterior much more than the interior, but that was a feature and not a bug for the most part. The only problem was that he was finding the holding cells to be one of the last remaining echoes of Rasa’s era as Kazekage....

SHORIRAMA SENJU- SEVEN YEARS BEFORE THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WORLD WAR
Ninjutsu was no longer fun. He had come to realise. Learning it at least. It came so easily that there was no challenge in it at all. It was almost the same as breathing or whatever. He could perceive chakra down to the atomic level. But not just the chakra of others. That same level of perception extended itself to his own chakra reserves. He could feel his chakra so intimately that there was very little chance of h...

Mitotic Regeneration was the only thing that had saved her life, she knew. Her legs had been broken in more places than she could count in one go. Her stomach had been torn open by a flying piece of debris, and her entire right arm had been crushed underneath a falling building. But that was not the pain that tore at her. One second the Kazekage and his friend in the Akatsuki robe had taken their fight to the skies, and the next there was nothing that remained of her p...

He chased me into the forest, heedless of the danger he’d been caught in. I allowed him move deeper and deeper in, taunting him with a glimpse of me every now and then. I did not risk Genjutsu. I could control my chakra perfectly, but that didn’t suddenly give me Jounin-level genjutsu skills. There was more to genjutsu than chakra control. That was what made the numerous fan theories about Sakura having the potential to be some sort of genjutsu monster ridiculous. If it was that easy, the...

Hiding like a mole? How plebeian. I slammed my hand on the ground, using my chakra to feel out the surrounding area and sun out his location. For some reason, he was sensitive to that, and wasted no time in surfacing.
He was already weaving seals as he did so and spat out a massive flame bullet at me. Io formed the horse sweat, transforming my chakra into water release chakra in seconds and forcing that water release chakra to condense into a wide wall of water in front of me. The fire...

When he showed himself finally, he came out of a rift in space. A very familiar vortex like movement. He stood on top of a clay bird with two men on either side of him. Obito and Deidara, I recognised quickly. Kabuto looked….well, he looked like Kabuto. White hair, tall wiry frame, glasses, and cocky smirk. His skin remained a pale shade, but not white. Not snake like (or Dragon-like as he would boast himself as in the anime). He was human for all that meant. But the people by his sides. Di...

“Our orders were to expand the Fire Nation’s hold on the Earth Kingdom and take Ba Sing Se by the middle of next year” I told him.
“Yes. I read the scroll just as you did”
“That means we need to keep a pretty straight path from here, advancing through the Kingdom, but such a path puts us in a disadvantageous position” I said, pointing out ...

He rose out of the ground, and I regarded him with an unimpressed look. A look that he returned with a scowl on his face. He clearly didn’t enjoy being pushed around by a child. “Your taijutsu is good, Hyuga. Just like they said about your clan, your resistance to genjutsu is high as well. But unfortunately for you, neither of those are my specialty. I am Iwabe, master of ninjutsu. I will have your name so I can tag your skull with it when I add it to my collection.”

I tried to project an aura of confidence as I regarded the four people in front of me like they were stains that I could wipe off my boots. It was giving them a bit of pause, two that was perfect for my purposes. I thought over my options, trying to come up with a means of escape. This was not a fight I could win. Jiriaya in sage mode was already one hell of an opponent on his own. Then there was Tsunade with her Byakuya seal released, and Orochimaru always had his own unique brand of bullshi...

He turned to the floating dense ball and began to gather his chakra for one massive jutsu. “Attack that ball. That’s the only way to disable the jutsu” He said to the others before he spread both his hands front of him. It was time to show off another one of his unique techniques. The first step, rotation. It was built on the same blocks as a different technique. The one that was part of Minato Namikaze’s fame. Next came power. This jutsu was greedy. Far greedier than the Rasenshurike...

When things were finally calm, he called over the next person for their throw. Most of the class was fairly predictable in how they approached the throw. Momo made a giant canon just like she had in canon but the difference was that this one was 100% her own design rather than a repurposed pre-industrial age relic. She easily cleared the 10km mark and went as far as 21km. She was the highest and had me at a distant but still respectable second for a while until the gravity girl stepped up. Th...

Of course, we were not really preparing to welcome him. We’d be leaving as soon as he arrived, and I only waited so long to maintain the thin veneer of civility that guided interactions between the Fire Nation’s Upper Class. He was a former friend of my Grandfather. Emphasis on the word, “F...
