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. He still sought me out for training, ramen, and also stories of how his day went, but that was about ...

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 in New Rome had the audacity to complain, they’d get hit with a ‘Back in my day I fought hordes o...

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 become future heroes of the village. I’d be filling that spot for Minato-sensei and Kushina.

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,” he grunted, clamping his massive hands around my leg to lock me in place.

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’t recall any times when my cohort was teamed up with them by virtue of us being the two best… tho...

[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 for future fights were bubbling up, and he had to get them down.
That silver-haired dude wi...

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 that Itachi and I would take the early mornings while his team had free reign from the afternoon onwar...

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 reality feel that much worse. It had been a good win, with Gwen acting as the cohort’s sole command...

[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 best sensory ninja in the entire village.
Still, Lord Raikage had ordered them to participate...

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 bit too hard on a branch.
As the village walls came into view, Shisui moved into step beside m...

“…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 was. Serena had just finished summarizing the quest debrief for the Senate, presenting the deeply conc...

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 Captain Kakashi gave a nod to Tenzo, his formal duties for the morning fulfilled.

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 that.
In the back of my mind, I already knew Anko’s invitation wasn’t a drunken whim. S...

[July 13th, 2007]
After dropping the girls off at the Wolf House, we took a bus down south from Sonoma, skipping right past Oakland where Camp Jupiter was hidden. There was a place I wanted to visit before we went back to our not-so-normal lives at camp.
Walking through the familiar suburban streets of my San Jose neighborhood, I felt a sense of anticipation. Everyt...

“…so I channeled lightning-natured chakra throughout my entire body, perfectly replicating the Raikage’s signature technique. That’s how I earned the moniker of the ‘Copy Ninja.’”
“Incredible!” the Daimyo exclaimed, acting more like a child hearing a bedtime story rather than a man of his position. “And then what happened, Master Hatake? What of the Tailed Beast?” 2025-11-09 03:05:18 +0000 UTC View Post

After concluding this morning’s training with Team Ro, I was on my way back to my house when one of the ANBU on the Hokage’s guard rotation intercepted me, informing me that Lord Third wanted to speak with me.
As I walked through the Hokage Administration Building, I took a moment to check the notifications from the Celestial Grimoire one more time.

Zeus truly needs to re-evaluate his priorities.
His excuse for not joining her at the hearth to observe the quest had been that he “needed to monitor his daughter’s progress.” A noble sentiment in theory. Hestia was nothing if not sympathetic to familial devotion, but the illusion shattered the moment she realized he wasn’t actually watchin...

I never imagined a place like this could exist for me. This is where real people belong.
Ever since Kakashi came back, the team trained even harder than before. It wasn’t like they ever slacked off, but after every session, it just felt like they were improving better. And that in turn motivated them to go even further the next day.

I decided to visit Naruto again.
He was sitting cross-legged in the middle of his apartment, his face scrunched up as he did the Leaf Concentration Exercise.
Eighteen… nineteen… twenty.
Just as I reached twenty-one, the leaf fluttered down to join the others scattered on the floor.
For a four-year-old with notoriously poor chakra control, holding it for that...

We were thirty minutes into our cab ride to Biscayne Bay.
After killing the giant turtle, we had a few loose ends to tie up. First, the boat full of mortals. I used the Mist to give them all an urge to take a very long nap, making sure they’d forget the entire day when they woke up.
Once they were all snoozing, I gently tapped Captain...

The sunlight landing on her face felt like a kunai stabbing into her skull. She wanted to punch the damn sun for it.
Groaning as she sat up, Tsunade peeled a sticky strand of hair from her cheek and brought a glowing green hand to her temple. The Mystical Palm Jutsu erased the physical consequences of another night spent drowning her past.

My eyes were closed, but I could see everything. From the life coursing through the roots of the ancient tree behind me to the insects crawling underground. It was like being connected to the world itself, every living thing within range becoming an extension of my awareness.
And most importantly, I didn’t feel overwhelmed by it.
