While my old friend’s student was busy carrying out my orders, I went on with the next step of my plan. This was a plan years in the making and that had required decades of planning, foresight and patience. So close to the finish line, I could not bear to fail. It would have been inconsiderable ten years ago. Now? To fail the Leaf now would be to damn it with my death. There was no one who would be ready or capable to do what was necessary to keep the Great Tree alive and healthy apart from...

“I walked across an empty land, I knew the pathway like the back of my hand. Is this the place we used to go, Is this the place I’ve been dreaming of...” I tuned out Lee as he sang one of the few dozen songs that I’d written down from memory and passed off as my own. He had a good singing voice. Strong, melodic, and soothing at the same time. It was the kind of voice that could lull you to sleep in one moment while spur you to fight to your death in another. It w...

Knowing what he wanted was only half the victory. The other half would come when I turned that knowledge into a true victory. Getting what I wanted and needed for the Kylosians, the few former slaves that remained and myself. A base. The planet was already a good enough prize. Once I had the world engine ready, I’d be able to turn the place into a paradise for all the affected species, but the possibility of getting more stalled me. Like I said earlier, wanted and needed. The Kylosians need...

The thing about being the person in charge and then having your best friends as your essential seconds was that when it was time to get going and do something else, it was very difficult to find someone to complete your role without you.
What am I talking about? The Kylosians, of course. I was the one keeping them sane and in check. Without me, the only one I trusted to take my place was Ovette. The problem with that? We’d arrived at Knowhere last night, and today was the day I...

It felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders from the moment I wrote that letter, spilling out all my thoughts and feelings about what my father had done to me. I guess those psychos who journaled might have actually been on to something. Not me, though, I could never keep a habit that consistent. I still appreciated the benefits, but not nearly enough to change my entire lifestyle to make room for it. What I did do, though, was enjoy the benefits of unburdening my mind from the feel...

I'm extremely sorry for the relative lack of updates, guys. Graduate School applications have been a massive drain. But the good news is that I was barely able to get my application in over the deadline so here's hoping that goes well. Either way, I'm now back. Expect things to return to their normal schedule
Thanks for sticking around♥️

The first attack that came from one of the S-rankers was from the Toad Sage himself. He thought he could take me by surprise with the earth release jutsu he’d been preparing since I killed the first anbu, but I felt it beneath my feet. When his hands clapped the floor and the ground around me transformed to deep mud that reacdhed to gather whatever it touched into it, I remained stable. My own section of the floor, remaining untouched and unadulterated.

“There’s only one option then. The way you speak about the Nova Empire, they sound like really scary and powerful people.” Ovette was the one who began speaking. Fully stepping into the role she was beginning to assume as general spokesperson for her people, Her voice, soft but clear, rang across the silence in the room that had built up over time, crashing through it and not being found wanting. The voice of a Queen? Not yet. But maybe with time.

“So I got your letter” He said first, taking a sip of his tea and staring right at me from across the table. It was something else, watching him just sit there, knowing what he’d done and hid from me, acting like all was fine.
“And never wrote back” I sniped. I’d sent the letter a month ago, and got nothing but silence in reply. If the Hawk had not returned with a letter confirming receipt from the postmaster at home, then I’d have even feared that it was intercepted or ot...

I walked around in a daze, not sure of where to go or what to do with myself. It was almost like I couldn't move forward or return back to where I’d once been. In short, I felt stuck. Not even my friends could help this time. Of all of them, Toji was the only one I saw with any degree of frequency, and the day he ever sat down to have an emotional conversation without Lee spending hours convincing him would be the day Agni descended and returned the world to the original flame.

28 days. That was how long it ended up taking the Kylosians to pack up their things and prepare to move on from their planet. Altogether, it was a short time frame and I recognised that they’d probably end up leaving behind things they wouldn’t even end up realising they needed until it was much too late to fix. But still, I did my best. In the four weeks it took them to get ready, I practically overhauled the entirety of the dark aster’s internals and workings to align with my...

RANDOM JOUNIN OF SUNAGAKURE
Jinpa and I raced through the trees as we did our best to escape with our quarry. The monster, ever since it became Kazekage, was extremely useful. Somehow, it had known ahead of time that the forests of Konoha were going to basically become free land during the Chunin exams and had authorised the lot of us to hunt to our heart's content within the Land of Fire. And it was right. No ANBU to be watchful about, and very little in terms of border patrol. It was ...

The Fire Nation Royal Military Academy was the premier school of the land. No other school had ever produced a Supreme Military Commander in the history of the fire nation, and not just that highest position. Every War Minister for the last four hundred years had attended the academy. The academy produced more generals than any other.
Why was I telling you this? To drive home just how prestigious the academy was and its place in the fire nation culture. My decision to graduate early had...

Of course, it wasn’t all to be as our revelry and fun is brought to a quick end as one of the numerous servants in the school ran towards me with a note in his hand. “For you, Master Natsu” The older boy said with a whisper and stretched out the scroll he held in his hands towards me.
“Ohhh. Probably from the school about your application to graduate early” Lee said, and before I could take the letter from the servant, Toji had jumped in between us and snatched it right out of...

“So, what do you want?” The Old man asked as he relaxed in his seat. If my perception had not been so high, I’d have been hard pressed to see the minute twitch of his lips or in his cheeks that told of the immense pain he must be going through right now.
After the fight yesterday, Hiruzen had only been able to remain standing long enough to invite Anbu to escort me to a hotel room, most likely so I would be too far to see what happened next. Of course, that was a thorough un...

Ronan The Accuser. The Kree warlord and servant of Thanos. I watched with a scowl as his people went across the town, dragging citizens from their homes and forcing them into the central square. Expanding m vision showed me that what was happening here was either happening or had already taken place in the hundreds of other settlements across the planet.
