Uzumaki Naruto's POV
The day after the Isshiki incident, I had the house to myself and was indulging in the purest form of human achievement: doing absolutely nothing. Recovery, officially. Hinata had left for a mission, because no matter how badly the world had been rattled, the Village still...
Threadmarks: Chapter 72: Waves That Washed the World
A stream of energy flowed from Isshiki's soul into my maw. Once it shriveled down to nothing but a faded orb, my hand clenched, and a moment later its rapidly crumbling fragments hung suspended in the air before dissolving entirely.
"It's over," I said, glancing down at what was now, without...
Following Isshiki's introduction, I was back to dodging his attempts to skewer my body with rods. Meanwhile, my body, driven by the synergy of merging chakras, had begun to visibly transform.
My height was closing in on six and a half feet as the muscles across my frame swelled and pulled taut...
In a dimension made of black cubes with red-trimmed edges, a throne stood against a wall built from stacked, interlocking shapes. A man with long black hair tied back in a ponytail sat upon it, one arm braced against the armrest. In his other hand he cradled a glass of the finest crystal. The...
Interlude: Sarutobi Hiruzen
The old man, a fixture in one particular Konoha residence, sat at his desk as ever, shuffling through his eternal stack of paperwork. Nothing that day seemed to foreshadow trouble, until a certain jonin walked in.
A man somewhere around thirty. Still young, yet with...
Threadmarks: Chapter 68: The End of the Mist Revolution
Uzumaki Naruto's POV
I sat on a throne in a massive hall where a couple thousand people were currently swarming about, watching them with measured calm. This was the sorting and disarmament facility, and also the single largest concentration of Mist shinobi at this particular moment...
Threadmarks: Chapter 67: Collision with an Immovable Obstacle
Interlude. Uzumaki Naruto
I hadn't been sitting in my temple all that long before Terumi Mei quietly stepped inside and requested an audience.
This time, instead of the lectus-couch, I was seated on a pompous throne in the style of a marble building with gilding.
"Yagura is pulling his forces...
The revolution's leaders, along with Jiraiya, who had somehow wedged himself into their ranks, climbed onto the designated balcony and were now making their way, almost humbly, through a long marble hall.
The surroundings weren't the suffocating part. That was the owner of this temple. His...
Next up there's some politics, female primarchs presented as transformed shinobi heralds, and then the plot's got something big and epic in store. No Warhammer crossover though, just to be clear. After that, a few more chapters down the line, another epic moment drops and that's the end of the...
Some time later.
In the residence of a fairly large city, not a tent, a woman with long red hair sat at a sturdy table. Twirling a lock of hair around her finger, she read through reports, calculating the forces the revolution had at its disposal.
The Land of Water was a vast archipelago. Its...
"Mei, is it?" Zabuza's bass rang out, tinged with mockery and way too loud for the exhausted camp. "Now that those hypocrites from Konoha have cleared out, let's have a proper talk about the revolution. Just so you know, I categorically did not like what just went down. Right now I want to take...
Interlude. Nara Sora
After several hours, the delegation's vessel nosed into the marshy shore and came to a halt. They had arrived at the Land of Water's closest island to the mainland.
A narrow strip of viscous "beach" immediately gave way to a more or less flat clearing that stretched a...
Threadmarks: Chapter 62: The Soul, the Second Stage, and a Bit About the Recent Past
A month and a half had passed since the attack on Konoha. And during that time, aside from my excursions to the worlds of beasts capable of senjutsu, a few other things had happened.
Beyond the routine outings, sometimes alone, sometimes with the girls, just to breathe and not go insane from...
The moment I shifted into Shikkotsu Forest, I felt damp soil beneath my feet as a faint acidic scent hit my nose. Looking around, I was greeted by arches and curved obelisks filling the space, bone-like structures overgrown with fluorescent moss. All of it in a dim setting, as though it were...
