I took a breath as my heart thundered in my chest, several tons of concrete and rubble rested above me. The only thing preventing me and by proxy, Tsunade and Kakashi from being crushed was Kurama’s tails.
Taking control of the tails, I slowly flexed them outwards, forcing the concrete aw...

“You’re looking a bit green there,” Maria noted as she sat down at the table in front of me. “What, did the milk go bad?”
Blinking, I looked up from my cereal. “No, the milks still fine.”
“Then what’s got you down?”
That was a good question with a more or les...

A few days had passed since the Raikage’s message and we were almost ready to leave. Tsunade had sent her response and had been organizing everything that was needed for our trip to the Land of Iron. An additional Jonin needed to come with to act as protection for her and seeing as we were goin...

I sat outside the principal’s office. I’d been waiting for about five minutes now. From the faint sound I could hear from her office, I could tell that she was on a call, but I couldn’t tell what it was about, the walls muffled the sound too well.
My second day at Sanctum Academy had ...

I laid on my back with shattered rock laying below me as I stared at the tree leaves above me. It had only been half a week since I had been confined to Konoha.
Anko and Shizune had finished raiding the remainder of Orochimaru’s bases with my clones and much to my disappointment, they had...

School, as it turned out, was just as frustrating as I’d remembered. It wasn’t the learning that was annoying, no, that I could easily do on my own. It was the fact that I constantly had to change to a different class several times in a single day.
I was new here and as the teachers ann...

I tiredly stood on top of the Shodaime’s stone head as I waited for Tsunade. The day I’d just had was extremely grueling. Even with Jiraiya’s advice, the progress I’d made with the Hiraishin had been slow at best. I now understood the baser mechanics of the Jutsu, but that didn’t mean i...

Several hours had passed since I’d taken care of the Apathy and we’d left the Brunswick farms behind. Maria hadn’t exactly been pleased with my actions concerning the Apathy, calling it a needless and reckless endeavor.
She wasn’t exactly wrong either. The graveyard of a village did...

I raised an eyebrow as I looked over the scroll that sat on my coffee table. It seemed that I’d forgotten to give Tsunade the scroll containing all of the notes my clones had pilfered from Orochimaru’s lab the day before, which was understandable. Yesterday had been a long day after all. Hone...

I sat at the edge of the bed, tying my shoelaces while Maria double checked our bags, ensuring that we hadn’t forgotten anything. The weather had been clear for a few days now and our stay on the Pines farm had come to an end.

I breathed heavily as I hopped from one tree branch to another. We’d only been traveling for a few hours and nowhere near our top speed, but I was already exhausted.
Unlike the last time that I used Kurama’s full Chakra, Tsunade wasn’t here to heal me, only Shizune and while she was a...

I retreated several steps as the Death Stalker rushed towards me. I’d made a small mistake in underestimating its speed, thinking that it would move slower seeing as it was so large.
The Death Stalker swiped its claw at me and I brought my blade down to meet it.

From the moment we left our joined mindscape, both Bee and I started drawing on our partners chakra, giving both of us a three tailed cloak.

I think we could mark this as another successful A-rank mission. My clones had finished ransacking the laboratory and brought everything of interest to be safely sealed. All of Orochimaru’s henchmen were killed, with the exception of the doctor and the girl. Anko’s clone would be detona...

I still wasn’t sure if it had been a good idea to trust Maria to handle everything. According to her, we had more than enough money to pay for a trip to one of the neighboring towns and for a week’s lodging, which brought up the question on why she decided that we had to travel on foot.

We’d been traveling for a few hours now and it was clear to see that we weren’t going to be arriving at the next one of Orochimaru’s labs before night fell. Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be too much of a problem. We were all capable Shinobi and the change in lighting shouldn’t affect us… ...

I ducked under a lunging Ursa Major and watched as it sailed over me. They were physically stronger than me, fast when they lunged and durable to the point where I wasn’t strong enough to harm them without using Sun Breathing, but they had one major failing, the same one that all the Grimm I’...

Giving Anko access to a single tailed chakra cloak had been a decidedly bad idea, not because she went berserk or anything… I mean, she did go kind of berserk while tearing apart the base with her a pair of chakra claws, but I felt that was well earned. Orochimaru had been a blemish on her past...
