Team Taisei Taisei had actually been to the Senju clan compound before. Not in a long time, and not in any kind of professional capacity. There had been some sort of formal meeting between Hibiki-sama and the Senju clan head, and Taisei had been brought along to serve tea. He remembered a...

Squad Miyu Yumi Arabori Yumi wasted no time racing out of the forest, as far from the missing-nin and his creepy shadow jutsu as she could get. She'd met members of the Nara clan before, but she'd never had the opportunity to see their jutsu up close. And she'd definitely never seen that...

Squad Taisei Mana gave Natsume a long once-over, lips pursed. “I’ll pay you what your ‘premium’ is worth, kid.” The front room of the house was pleasant enough, with a checked katsudon dominating the room and a small TV flickering in the corner. Taisei knew for a fact that there was contraband...

Squad Taisei The air in Buta-cho, Taisei thought, always smelled of casual neglect. Trash several days old overflowed from public bins and drifted through the streets. Rainwater and leaf mold sat stagnant in clogged drains. And everywhere the smell of mildew, from the ancient ramshackle...

Team Miyu Yumi didn't get to see the fireball of Ton's genjutsu, or whatever invisible traps Ren had set up. But she did see Shikahide burst out of the forest like a bat out of hell, almost tripping over his own feet in his haste to get away from the imaginary fire. His shadow trailed behind...

Team Miyu When Miyu-sensei jumped, Yumi jumped too, only hers didn’t end in shattered rocks and a tree cleaved in half as fast and clean as a lightning strike. She just landed on the next branch over and watched their sensei slide to the ground and start pulling on an inhaler like it was a...

Team Taisei “Okay then. Hyuga, recon at the Senju compound.” He could call her Hyuga without creating undue confusion, Taisei supposed. It wasn’t like there was any reason he would be addressing himself in third person, or like people generally called him Hyuga anyway. He was Taisei to all who...

Team Miyu “I can pin him down if I can see him," Yumi pointed out. "But...if your genjutsu makes him think we're going to burn the forest down, maybe he'll run back towards the river. Then we could catch him here, and someone can get the seal on him." Sensei had handed her the seal before...

Team Taisei ANBU were supposed to be stoic, but Taisei couldn't stop the small grin from spreading across his face as he listened to his students talk. Oh, they were smart, in addition to being tough enough to survive the chunin exams and weird enough for ANBU. Uchiha had already found the...

Team Taisei Well, Nakamura, at least, wasn't suffering from low self-esteem. That was good. And a lightning kekkei genkai was interesting as well. He'd known that the Nakamura had some sort of innate ability with lightning, but not the specifics. They were a pretty small clan, and as far as...

Team Miyu "We? Oh!" Yumi caught sight of the spider sitting in Ren's palm. She kind of remembered that the Ogumo clan had bugs like the Aburame, but they were a really small clan and she usually didn't pay attention when people talked about bloodline limits and things like that. But ninja...

Team Taisei The Byakugan gave him a little warning before his new team arrived. Enough time to put their files away, climb off the table where he'd been sitting cross-legged, and look professional-ish. It was a much more casual meeting than he'd had with his first ANBU team, all those many...

Squad Miyu Oh. So her new teammate was an asshole. “If you’re trying to look willing to be here, maybe don’t call our new boss a fool?” Yumi rolled her eyes. She had been about to put on her new armor over her clothes, but there was no way she was giving fake-name-Ton the satisfaction of...

Squad Miyu Yumi's uniform had a blue mark, which meant that her squad leader was Miyu Ogumo. Glancing around the creepy room, she saw two others with the same mark--a dark-haired boy with swords and a white-haired girl in a surprisingly fancy silk robe. Could she actually fight in that? Or had...

Squad Taisei If Taisei had thought about it a little more, he might have guessed that the new ANBU wouldn’t assemble in the library as Commander Chosokabe had said. Giving the squad leaders the wrong room and then sending their rookies on a wild goose chase was exactly the kind of hazing ritual...

Talia and Inyri had the right idea. Sahak glanced up at the dragon to make sure that it was well and truly distracted by the others, then scrambled after them towards the dark tree line. He bumped into the entertainer--Alcred? Was that his name?--on the way. "Careful," Sahak hissed, grabbing the...

So Hawkes was magic. That was new information. Or at the very least, he had a magic horn, which might have been stranger. The fires died, and still the dragon continued to bellow and threaten. They were all going to die if no one answered this creature's questions directly, that much was clear...

Of all the ways Sahak could have predicted waking up, screaming and fire...were depressingly likely, actually. He bolted awake, and managed to grab his hunting knife before throwing himself out of the caravan to see— A dragon. Now that, he could not have predicted. [Shit,] he said, and shoved...

So many people were dead, so many of the survivors scattered, and of all the people in Oronia might have joined the blue caravan, Kai Kapule's face was not one Sahak had expected to see again. Yet here she was. Older than when he'd last seen her, but nobody else he'd ever met had purple hair...

"The same way most people come into their professions, I suppose." He shrugged. "I was apprenticed to a healer when I was young because my mother thought it was a good idea, and I found I liked it." Bringing up his magic so soon felt...tacky, somehow. And he couldn't predict how Wulf or anyone...
