The arrival of Might Gai changed everything. The Kazekage fell to the floor gasping for air, but seemed to be well into his recovery already, pushing himself up to his feet. Akatsuki’s leader was similarly on his way to his feet after taking a kick that would have killed most men in one swoop.
“I am Konoha’s Green Beast, Might Gai. You must answer for your actions, foul villain” He said, facing the Akatsuki leader off. The man, on getting to his feet, almost seemed to scoff at ...

“Yeah sure, as soon as Sensei shows up” Uzume said, and almost like he’d been eating for that very cue, the man appeared in front of them with a body flicker. A body flicker much louder than Shori’s. Interesting. Toshiro began to wonder if he’d been wrong about things. Could Shori be better than them after a year off. No, that made no sense. He’d always had prodigious chakra control even with his large reserves, so it made sense that if he spent time training that then he’d poss...

She blinked as Jiraiya stormed to his feet upon regaining consciousness. That. Was certainly more vim and vigour than she’d seen from her teammate in a while. She’d thought the perpetually impatient Jiraiya had been killed by the werigfht of old age and the decades that had passed since they’d known each other.
“Let’s find Orochimaru” He had said after thanking her profusely for the healing. As if he’d needed to. The three of them moved through the wreckage of her Gerandf...

“Left” His sensei prompted, and he spun out of the way of the attack that came from his right.
He tried to retaliate with a thrust of his own but it as slapped out of the way with ease. He swatted away a poke aimed at his forehead and returned the favour with one for his opponent’s midsection.
“Right” His sensei said, attacking from the left this time. He stepped backwards as his sensei stepped into his guard. He gave the ground to keep his stance steady and swatted t...

The only person to even get vaguely close to Bakugou’s score in fourth position was Todoroki. He skated across an ice platform propelled by his fire half like some sort of jet and finished with 3.23 seconds. When I’d first seen him without a scar across his face, I had been surprised, but not too surprised. In this world, medicine had advanced so far that even the most complicated procedures from his old world where more or less routine. Things like plastic surgery happened so often that ...

XXXXXXX- TSUNADE
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...

All the sand I had chasing him raced back towards me. I funnelled large swathes of my chakra into the sand to increase the density of the ultimate fence. Magnet release applied to my sand. It allowed me control the destiny of the material. I was using it liberally. Enhanced in effectiveness by Senjutsu chakra. Even with that, I felt it would not be enough. So I pumped chakra into the sand once more. Ohnoki’s super heavyweight boulder technique came to me easily. The sand now weighed a whole...

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 him getting a jutsu wrong more than once. His chakra control felt like it didn...

“Did someone get the name of the truck that hit me?” were the words he seemed to wake up with. Of course they were. He thought himself funnier than he really was. The idiot.

The Princess scared him. She just had that look in her eyes that said she wanted to kill you and take your skin off and wear your skin, and all that weird painful stuff that he shuddered to even think about. Now, she was knelt before her father, but Masashi knew that if she found that he’d done anything to displease her, she’d find him later. Not even the FireLord for all his power and glory could stop Princess Azula from expressing her displeasure. Most people agree...

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...

“Almighty Push” He commanded right as my hand was about to touch him. I swallowed as I was sent flying without even the time to brace myself tfor the impact. I tore through the air like a bullet from a gun until I felt my body slam into one edge of the crater. The lack of much in the way of buildings to arrest my momentum was proving to be as much a boon as it was a detriment. I could see Nagato from all the way across, and that meant I could hurt him. I crossed my fingers and formed two ...

On days like this, he rather hated his job. The FireLord was furious. The entire council was furious, and they were all screaming. There wasn’t any headway to be made, just a headache to be gained as each member of the military tried to put the blame on the others. The Navy higher command seemed keen to remind everyone that before Zhao had joined the Navy, he was a member of the Army, and that it was the Army that had been charge of his foundational tra...

It had taken them three weeks to clear him to leave the hospital. He hadn’t spent all that time in bed. Even with Tsunade working on his body while he slept in his coma, he still had some physical therapy to do. Not as much as he would have had to do without the world’s premiere medic on his case, but still enough to keep him occupied for a few weeks. Walks along the hospital’s gardens, monitored rounds of physical exercise, even some limited taijutsu sparring had been allowed all for t...

Madara chased after him. His men tor fought oil a way Obito had never experiencesd in his life. He was being thoroughly overwhelmed. Whatever he tried failed as Madara dismantled his taijutsu step by step. It felt like fighting Kakashi again. Not entirely. Kakashi was slower. Kakashi liked to lord his superiority over him so he fought much slower and took him apart step by step to show the gap between them. Madara didn’t seem to care about anything like that. He just fought. He was better t...

Kankuro stared at the both of them. But he was obediently still. Beyond tilting his head as he watched her be held hostage, he was as still as a statue. She knew he was doing his best to hide his panic. She was terrible at hiding hers, she knew. Mebuki was a traitor. She had betrayed their village and now she was holding her hostage. But in truth it was not her present scenario running through her head. It was the fact that this would break Gaara. Her brother, her Kage. It was not so long ago...

And beyond fixing my army’s armament problems, I’d also been working to integrate the new arrivals. Sung had taken about half the army with him on his reassignment so I was receiving reinforcements from all across the Fire nation’s outposts in the earth kingdom.

The most undisciplined, unruly, and least skilled across the fire Naton’s military machi...

It felt like he walked for miles but had made no progress all the same. The distance between where he wanted to go and where he was coming from seemed to remain the same for hours and hours of walking. At least, he felt like he’d spent hours. For all he knew, it could have been days or even only a few minutes. Hours more, or maybe days, passed, and he finally crested the hill to the other side. It was only a few hours ago that he had noticed that his journey was actually across a hill. At t...

Shinsuke had lived his life on the edge for most of the time since he’d left the Academy.

Of course, that didn’t come to pass, but he’d been trained for it nonetheless. Trained by a man who had no idea what the word “mercy” meant, needless of the utility of utilising it when training one own...

I landed on the ground and rolled for a second or two before coming to a stop. I groaned as I pushed myself off the ground. At least without the adamantium sealing chains on me, I could feel my chakra again. I could feel the snejutsu power flowing in through my seal and balancing itself with my own reserves. Reserves that were steadily approaching there point where they would begin to be considered critical.
Standing, I looked towards their last known position. It wasn’t a surprise t...

She’d sent them out once the sun begun to go down and said she would be the one sleeping here tonight. As usual, none could prevent her from doing the thing in her head once it got in there.
“Good. I feel a bit lethargic, but I should be fine” I said to her.

The rest of the room nodded, not particularly surprised with the reality of things. Azula was the presumptive heir as things stood now, and they doubted that Firelord Ozai would go through all the trouble of training her as such and then abandon her in favour of another for the role. And then there was no reason for him to do so. Zuko was older, but Ozai himself had set precedent when he inherited over Iroh, the elder.
And then if the matter of Azula being a woman becomes a thing to be...
