2025-08-27 19:27:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe change in Fujin's alertness went unnoticed by the villagers. As they stepped into the small village, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was the first time in over 3 decades since they reached this island that a new face had ap...

[A/N: Fell asleep last night 😵💫 Luckily was almost done.]
Fujin extended his hand towards the unconscious old man once again, this time pulling out his soul. He quickly read his memories directly from his soul before pushing the so...
Fujin's gaze focused on one spot. In Ketsueki’s memories, the cave where the Pontiff performed his duties should have had an entrance there. Fujin wondered, ‘Will this have any secrets? Or are the traces here wiped out too?’
Fujin's ...
‘Weird… I only sense 36 disturbances…’ Fujin's brows furrowed. From Ketsueki’s memories, the population of the cult had never dropped this low, even when their attempts to expand into the ninja world failed. Considering they hadn't made ...
2025-08-09 14:06:21 +0000 UTC View PostDue to all these limitations, Fujin was severely restricted in the battle. When the two fought above the ocean, Fujin dodged every attack the crab threw at him, be it physical or by manipulating water, while continuously bombarding the crab with h...

Fujin thought, ‘Even if I assume Jashin is unable to interact with the world beyond the formation of his seeds and occasionally speaking, considering the cult's failure to expand for over 650 years, I still can't act rashly. Despite spending ove...
2025-08-04 00:59:41 +0000 UTC View PostAs a ninja who operated in the shadows for years and still frequently schemed in the dark, Fujin could easily see how impactful this effect of the Seed of Jashin was. It would not only resolve any hidden resentment the individuals could have towar...

Unable to digest his failure, Ketsueki remained rooted to the same spot, frozen like a statue, while the events of the ritual kept replaying in his mind. Despite recalling every minute detail hundreds of times, he couldn...
The group of Jashin fanatics continued moving from one village to another without much luck. By the time they reached the seventh village, dawn was just beginning to lighten the horizon. It was another small settlement with just around fifty villa...

[A/N: A note once again. This arc will by far contain the most original content by any of the previous arcs. Pretty much none of the events & characters here are canon. In addition, there will also be plenty of stuff that'll seem very controve...
2025-07-25 19:31:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys 👋
The next arc is probably one of the most complicated arcs in the story (and also the one with most original content). I do have it mapped in my mind, but there are a lot of tiny details I have to pay attention to, which makes ...
For the first time in their wretched lives, the pirates of the Black Gale knew true horror. Not fear from the threat of death, nor panic in the face of battle, but something deeper. Something primal. Every inch of their bodies screamed to run, whi...

Unable to figure out the mystery, Hiruzen's clone could only let out a long, tired sigh. He muttered, “It's impossible to get to the bottom of this. There's too much that we do not know. Scour the battlefield once again to see if we missed somet...
2025-07-17 01:01:21 +0000 UTC View PostThere were many objectives behind Hiruzen’s decision to march an army to the battlefield where Akuro and Danzo had clashed. Yet nearly all of them were built on uncertainty. Whether it was confronting Akuro directly, recovering Danzo’s body, d...

Fujin had reasons to be concerned about the future. If even a fraction of Konoha's plans bore fruits, Konoha's strength would go through the roof, completely shattering the current equation of the ninja world.

The hood fell back, revealing Danzo’s familiar, time‑worn face. Yet his eyes, once always half‑hidden behind shadows and bandages, now stared openly back at them, dull and lifeless as only the Edo Tensei could bring.
