Life for Naruto settled into a new normal. Staying at the village for a day or two, allowing him to talk with his friends and keep up to date with the village's going-ons. Then he would return to the beach with a pair of ninjas. Sometimes a jonin or anbu instead, but with the village still recovering from the Sound-Sand invasion, most of those were busy.
Regardless of who was k...

They all ran and leaped, the Force guiding and speeding them along as the ground collapsed into an ever-widening chasm, swallowing trees, animals, and all else unlucky enough to fall in.
The dirt crumbled beneath Anakin's foot before he could make the ...
2023-05-29 18:50:21 +0000 UTC View PostOi. Well, this month hasn't been nice to me. I had a writer's block for the longest time and got sick. Luckily, writing comes easy when I'm sick, for whatever reason. About halfway done with everything. Should have everything done around the usual time, but if it's a bit late, that's why.
Hope you're all doing well, and take care.

2023-04-25 08:50:07 +0000 UTC View Post"I'm going to guess that it doesn't lay golden eggs?" Tsunade asked rhetorically.
Shizune sweatdropped at that. "We...don't believe so, no," she answered, glancing throw the one-way mirror into an interrogation room, which had been transformed into an impromptu research room, with a goose sitting on the table, eating at some grass that had been provided for it.
While it was a rather strange notion still, Issei rather enjoyed the dating and lovemaking on another planet. Or another planet's moon rather, but who cared?
However, he found the next part as amusing as it was annoying.

All around them was a land of red stones, a mountain to their back. Up in the sky had the massive planet of Jupiter to their left and to the right were....all the other moons and objects that orbited the gas giant.

2023-02-27 08:51:26 +0000 UTC View PostNaruto's first night at the beach was.... quiet.
That was the only word for it, really. His week atop the Hokage Mountain had him falling asleep with the entire night-time cacophony of the village in his ears. Drunks at bars, dogs barking, couples arguing, babies crying, people screaming from nightmares. Every sound in the village, and he had learned to tune it out.

For a trained ninja the trip from Konoha, near the center of the Land of Fire, to any of the country's borders was a trip that most made in the time of two days. One if they needed to reach it in a hurry.
For a bijuu? It was more of a stroll than anything
Now, Naruto was very aware he could run the entire way there in, what? A few hours, at most?
