I searched the skies of New York with my eyes as I watched the movements by the various actors in what was to come in a short while. Loki flew with the aid of his spectre as he travelled to the top of Stark Tower. The Ancient one and a few of her disciples floated above their sanctum as they cast spells over the place in preparation for the inevitable invasion. It honestly shocked me how they still needed additional protection. Was the sanctum not supposed to be one of the most well protected...

I stood in front of the teams we’d be sending to Konoha with a smile on my face. The smile brightened as my siblings caught it and sent theirs in return. Well, Temari did. Kankuro was careful not to do anything with his face that might distort the war paint he’d spent the better part of the morning putting on painstakingly. The fact that Temari had refused to help because she thought it was stupid, and my clone had been little help because he’d ruined it on his first three attempts and ...

When I woke up the next morning, it was to the notification that the system calibration had finished. Turns out there had been multiple notifications while I was asleep about the game changing a few things it was changing already so the first notification had become obsolete. Apparently, a system administrator or something had gotten involved in the matter.
If I was a more patient man, I’d have spent my time looking through the changes that were made and trying to parse them to unders...

“Toshiro-sensei” I greeted the man as he walked in. His white haired form dropped into a bow almost instantly. I smiled at the respect. It was manipulative, he wanted something, but being treated like an actual kage by someone who wasn;t the anbu who had sworn their lives to me was a refreshing experience.
“Kazekage-sama. My heart and sword are yours” He greeted
“Good. Now let us dispatch with all the formality. We have work to do.”
“Yes, Kazekage-sama. You mentio...

What does it mean to be strong? Truly strong? That was the question Grandfather had asked me before I left the home for my first semester, and as I prepared myself to return back to the manor, I bothered myself with thinking it through. Was I any stronger than I was six months ago when I’d gotten in here? Well, my body was much stronger, at least. If Hiroshi had any talent, it was in strengthening bodies. I hadn’t even gone above and beyond, just sticking to the regimen h...

XXXXXX - SHINOBI NO KAMI POV
"A twelve-year-old Kage, huh? The world changes every day, doesn’t it, Danzo?" I asked my old friend as I took a sip of my tea while staring at the latest report from our network in Sunagakure. An official announcement was still forthcoming, but the boy had been sworn in and anointed as Kage already.
"I told you we should have killed him when we had the chance," Danzo said, showing his famous shortsightedness. I just sighed before I replied,

"I'm so sorry about all that, Natsu," Lee said as we walked towards the great hall for breakfast the next day. Of course, when we walked in, it was to whispers and stares. We were the first years who spent our first night in the academy in solitary because we'd beaten up a couple of fifth years and their friends. It was a shock when the fight started, and Toji had singlehandedly taken down three of them with nothing but his fists. Strong for a ten-year-old, he was. Lee was much weaker, and I'...

“Clark. Can I call you Clark? Well, Clark, I’ve heard loads about you. Some call you my second coming, you know,” Stark had a motor mouth. He spoke quickly and barely ever without stopping. On the walk to the private office, we’d already spoken about close to three topics. By "spoken," I mean he’d talked at me while I had the decency not to interrupt him. Considering he’d stopped this time, it seemed like he was finally interested in getting my own take on something.

A/N; Here’s the warning. This story will have a lot of smut. Sometimes more smut than plot. There will be plot, but it will be matched and guided by the smut. If you aren’t comfortable with that, please stop here. Do not pass Go. Do not continue. Close your eyes and go eat rice or something. Thank you.

I stood in front of them, the Elders of Suna. A council of 12 shinobi, most of them too old to contribute anything militarily, but kept in service for their minds. The idea of the thing had always seemed stupid to me. Especially since whenever Rasa spoke of them, it was like they were an obstacle he had to work around, being careful to avoid pissing them off too much while still getting his way. All those years ago, I didn’t understand it. Now, I did.

Heyyyy.
I'm considering dabbling in writing some adult content on the side. I just wanted to know if you guys would be comfortable with me posting that there or if you'd prefer for me to create a separate forum for that. And please make sure you signify if you're underage.

I never advertised the fact that I was the bastard of some English Lord, so it would make sense for him to assume it was something I was keen on hiding. Not that I really cared, but someone who knew little about me would be perfectly justified in making such an assumption.
“Yes, it's quite a safety net,” I said, playing off his words in the same way I would if I did actually care about keeping my origins a secret.
“Indeed. But I get your point. It was all a pipe dream either...

I followed along with Grandfather's whispered instructions as we practiced breathing in tandem. The goal was to improve my ability to take in air from the surroundings, use it to stoke my inner flames, and then increase my firebending power.
Firebending was actually a whole process, more complicated and complex than what I could have ever anticipated. It all started at the nose (or mouth for all y'all mouth-brea...

The truth about fighting against a ninja is that it was almost always fast. Very rarely did fights between ninjas last longer than two or three minutes. However, that rule only applies when both ninjas either have a measurable difference in strength or are objectively weak themselves. For example, no fight between equally ranked genin would cross the 10-minute mark unless they were both extremely stupid and relied only on slow-paced taijutsu. Generally, one or both of them would slump from ex...

"The first thing you must learn about firebending is that fire is the element of passion." I hesitated to cut in and tell the Master that I already knew that Kuonyo might not be half the firebender Jeong-Jeong was, but that didn’t make him an incompetent teacher by any means.
"You know this. But what you don’t know is that the flames you generate show where the passion comes from. To a discerning eye, at least. Your flames are sharp, near uncontrollable. Hatred, I suspect. Or deep r...

"So, Master Kent, I hope you understand the gravity of what has just occurred," the solicitor spoke to me while we sat in a luxurious office. I nursed the glass of wine that had been given to me. Underage drinking clearly didn't matter much to these people.

As Orochimaru spoke, his guards took off the cloaks they had been wearing to reveal their identities. I smiled as things began to heat up. Nevermind, I could recognize those clowns. Orochimaru had brought the Sound Five with him. Something I definitely couldn’t understand. Didn’t these fuckers lose to Genin at the end of the Sasuke Recovery Arc? Surely, Orochimaru didn’t think they were at the level to participate in a battle of the kind that was about to unfold here.

Fire built in my chest as I held it in and spoke through gritted teeth, "This is a stupid move, Mei Terumi." For perhaps the first time since shit went to hell, I was no longer in control. My jounin promotion was now in danger. No way would Rasa ever promote me if I succeeded in getting his kids killed. Oh yeah, and they were my siblings too. Couldn't let them die because of that, could I?

Confusion. That was an emotion I'd been forced to get used to from a very young age. I didn't necessarily understand things as quickly as everyone else did, so I'd learned to accept my confusion and move on regardless. This situation was testing my ability to do just that, though.
Sleeping in bed one day and waking up cradled by giants in the shadow of a crumbling planet. For some reason, with my mind racing, I began to understand what was happening, and that made me even mor...

“Un, deux, trois…” I whispered to myself to keep calm, as my dance teachers had taught me. I balanced on the beam as carefully as I could, and then began to run, maintaining a steady face and flipping at the last minute to grab hold of the pole. One, two, three, four. I counted the swings in my mind before finding my angle, letting go, and beginning to corkscrew.
I had done it a thousand times before. Now, I just had to do it for the gold medal. Of course, that's when t...
