The Celestial Copy - Chapter 30

I’d spent the last week preparing.

With Naruto starting the Academy, his social calendar had filled up almost overnight. Between class and spending time with his new friends, specifically his future wife and his reincarnated brother, he didn’t need his “Big Bro” hovering over him. H...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 22

[July 31, 2007]

For ninety-nine percent of the legionnaires about to march out today, this was a chance to etch their name into the legion’s history, to claim glory in fire and ichor. The kind of day you told stories about to your children. If any little shit growing up i...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 29

Standing in front of the door to Naruto’s apartment, I felt a sense of anticipation. Today was the day Naruto and his generation would start attending the Academy. For most citizens of the Hidden Leaf, this was an amazing day. Parents would feel pride that their children were going to one day b...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 28

Driving my shin into Daisuke’s midsection felt like kicking a metal wall, I could even hear a sound similar to a gong being struck. The impact went up my leg, but he didn’t budge an inch. His skin was already an earthen brown color from the Iron Skin technique.

“Bad move, Captain,” ...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 21

Standing at a decent distance away, I gave the four Centurions space as they hashed out the final details of our attack plan.

From the looks of it, they were taking this far more seriously than any of the previous war games. Or maybe that was just how the First Cohort did things? I couldn�...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 27

[Killer Bee]

Leaning against the wall of his brother’s office, Killer Bee was in a world of his own, the tense atmosphere of the room nothing but a distant noise. A notepad rested in one hand, a pencil spinning in the other, completely absorbed in the flow. Fresh rhymes f...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 26

A full month had passed since we first arrived in the Hidden Cloud. After the second stage of the Chunin Exams, the Raikage informed me and the Jonin from the Hidden Frost that he had set aside one of their training grounds for our teams to use. I’d spoken with the other Jonin, and we agreed th...

[July 23, 2007]

Fucking Mondays.

My hands were jammed deep into the pockets of my sweatpants as I trudged across the camp grounds, heading for the Field of Mars. 

The high from our victory party yesterday only made the crash into this morning’s r...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 25

[Cee]

Sitting at his desk, Cee couldn’t help but feel that the entire situation was absurd. He was taking the Chūnin Exams. Sure, he and his partner were both Genin, but that was in name only. Darui was a student of the late Third Raikage, and Cee himself was already the...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 24

The trip back to the village felt like the inverse of our departure.

When we left, Shisui kept things light, constantly joking and teasing Itachi, trying to get a rise out of him. Now, there was nothing except for the rush of wind and the occasional thud when one of the Uchiha duo landed a ...

[Marcus]

“…and it means our current security reports are wrong. A significant threat to Rome has been allowed to fester right under our noses.”

Marcus kept his face perfectly composed as he watched her, but inwardly he was admiring just how amazing she always wa...

[Yugao Uzuki]

Two hours on the dot. 

That marked the end of the first part of their training session, now the rest was up to them. Yugao had been keeping track of the time since the second they had started their training for the day. 

She watched as Ca...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 22

Replaying the night’s events in my head, I lay in bed with my arms crossed behind my head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Last night was… Shit, I don’t even know. Should I just forget about what happened? Play it off like nothing happened when we meet again? No… I can’t do th...
