She snapped awake in the dead of the night. A siren was ringing. The high-pitched sound was coming from the walls of her room itself. She slid her wand out from under her pillow and pointed it straight ahead before she rolled backward off the bed and onto the floor. No spells came. The ringing fr...

“A visitor for you, my lord” One of the dozens of serving boys that now called Bloodstone home said, walking into my solar.

“What flag did they fly?” I asked, watching as the boy turned to the side, trying to remember.

“Don’t worry about it, ...

“I would rather die, and so would Susan” her aunt spat back, and Susan found herself nodding along. She could never imagine working for someone so evil. So cruel. It hut evil and cruel, but the man on whose orders her parents had been killed. The man that had seen her made into an orphan in t...

To Kushina’s credit, her chains were already moving to wrap around me the second I’d tossed Minato away, but that was still far too little, and far too late. I reached for one of said chains, grabbed a hold of it and felt it try to suppress my chakra. You’re a decade too young to stand a ch...

He tore through the next two creatures that assaulted him so quickly that Susan hadn’t even been able to tell what they were. And then he went for her aunt. He smashed through the cover she hid behind, but she wasn’t there. She had moved already. Good. But that didn’t seem to bother him all...

Just like him, they didn’t believe me when I said they were free. None of them moved forward to attack Declan. They probably saw it as a test of the loyalty or something equally inane. If only I could just shove the thought in their head. You are free men. Well, free men still bound to work fo...

XXXXXXX- THREE MONTHS SINCE THE ATTACK ON KONOHA

We had finally broken ground on the new tower. It had taken a while to secure all right families and their reallocations, but that had not been the real delay. The real delay had come from the fact that more or less every single shinobi unde...

And then he felt the pull at his soul as the teapot began to eject him. He landed on the ground, crouched, feeling aches all over..

But he was an abbot of the Wind Temple. Pain was an old fiend of his. He rose to his full height, not paying much if any attention to the creaks and pops that...

“Is everyone here?” I asked Declan. He nodded. I turned to the line of former slaves. The people whose freedom I had purchased only for them to be enslaved by my man. As far as they were concerned, I had bought them, freed them, and then enslaved them again. I must have seemed s...

She watched as he admired the various statues and paintings that dotted Bones Manor. He was taking his time, enjoying himself like he was an invited guest on a tour and not an intruder who deserved to die. Her nails bit so deeply into her skin that they drew blood as she saw red. This man. This a...

Perhaps I should have made him suffer more before I killed him, I thought to myself as I looked at the stack of communications that had been exchanged between one of my most trusted Captains and a certain Ravandyr Morello of the Stepstones. Of course, they hadn’t figured out cement....

And so he continued his investigation. He moved his eye from street to street, and when he reached the hospital, it took a large amount of willpower for him to continue. In the sand outside the hospital, they lay in their dozens, each one sick as the last. He went inside, finding that even the me...

“Blindspots?” I asked.

“The other villages: Suna, Kusa, Ame, Kiri, Kumo, Taki. With some preliminary training, they will be able to act as competent spies. Some will begin lives as civilians while others will seek to enroll as shinobi. In a matter of years, we could have deeply embed...

Because if he thought mocking me about Corlys, a man whose death I had gotten over a long time ago was going to give him the chance to take the advantage here, then he had another thing coming.

I took my stance and waited for him to come forward.

“I’ve been killing men since bef...

“Susan, I need you to listen to me carefully.” Her aunt said, drawing her closer and grabbing her head by both hands.

“This will be the last time we ever speak—“

“No”

“Yes. That man— that thing coming here will never allow me survive tonight. But you have a ch...

“That’s impossible” She heard her aunt say before her eyes could even adjust to the sudden darkness. The light fixtures had gone off in the earthquake.

“Auntie?” She called, seeing the woman she had grown up seeing as unflappable on the verge of panic.There was fear in her aunt�...

Where Toshiro had seemed to stroll into the room, comfortable in his skin, Shiba seemed to lumber. Every step he took seemed to weigh more than the last. Not with a physical weight, but a metaphysical one. This was a man with a burden on his shoulders, and he wore it on his extra long sleeves for...

The one to my left, Declan, attacked first. He had a pug face, nose clearly broken one too many times to heal right, and a sneer on his face. He swung his blade at me. I ducked underneath it, and stomped at his foot. He managed to snatch it back in time, and as I moved to take advantage of his im...

“Did you get it?” his benefactor asked as he walked into the cave.

“I still don’t see why we have to keep meeting in caves. You have the gold to pay me. Surely you could find something better than… this,” he said, gesturing to their surroundings. He did n...

Chapter 74- Doom Days (Happy Birthday)

The day the seventh month died began like any other. I woke up and stretched, preparing myself to head out to begin the day’s first duelling session. After weeks of training—more like months with all the time that we had passed in the time turner—I’d managed to get Nicholas to begin movin...

“Arghhh,” I screamed as I felt the wood of his lance shatter against my shield as mine failed to make contact. I kept riding, turning at the last moment to see that my opponent had done the same.

I gestured to the boy who had taken the role of page for me, and accepted another of the sp...

“Most of them managed to make it to the general genin corps. But from there, their fates diverge widely. Some of them manage to make it onto chunin squads and die in their second or third C-rank. Others group up together, go on D-ranks for a year, and then die on their first C-rank. And perhaps...

“It’s not just about making them like me, Shika. It’s more than that. What do you think the civilian to shinobi population split is?”

“Of course”

“Two to one?” She tried.

I flicked my wand, creating the sound of clapping thunder to draw his attention. Is head snapped to me, the expression of shock on his face, comical.

“What’d you do that for?” He asked, picking at his ears.

“You weren’t paying attention to me” I said.

“What?” ...

I waited for the bread and salt, thinking things through as I did so. Was he the thief? Probably. But I had no proof or evidence, and beyond that, I wasn’t sure enough to push on regardless. Would I torture a man for my suspicions? Possibly, but not one sworn to me and having advanced so high a...
