Your Vote, Your Story

As I get closer to completing the twenty-chapter backlog of advanced chapters for "Of Blood and Duty"—having decided to temporarily limit the backlog of "Metamorphosis" to ten chapters due to the complexity of the plot and the difficulties I am ...

Updates: OBD

More chapters coming. Bit of a delay with the edits. They are still not done and I am having a bit of a problem getting the prose to read properly. Will be done soon though.

NFF: Chapter Twelve

Chapter Twelve: Unravelling

The inn looked worse than the last time I'd seen it, if that was even possible. The place had never been much to write home about, but tonight, the air seemed stale—as if even time itself had decided to steer ...

NFF: Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven: Leaves, Sand and Little Red Clouds

The Land of Rivers wasn’t much to look at—just a point on the map, an inconsequential smear of earth that mattered only because war had decided it was important. Sasuke had his fingers...

NFF: Interlude - The Sandworm

Interlude: The Sandworm

The ferry cut through the pale morning mist, its prow leaving a trail of foam in the mirror-like sea. Kankuro stood at the railing, his hood pulled low, shielding his face from curious eyes. The Land of Waves rose o...

OBD: Chapter Twenty-Eight

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Thwarted

I returned from my meeting with Jiriaya without fanfare, my cloak brushing against the damp leaves, my senses sharp, alert. I could feel it—something, or someone, out there. Stalking. Watching.

I had ...

OBD: Chapter Twenty-Seven

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hostile takeover

Danzo moved through the darkened corridors of Konoha's administrative heart, his presence a shadow among shadows. He wore his robes with the confidence of a man who no longer needed permission. Tonigh...

OBD: Chapter Twenty-Six

Chapter Twenty-Six: Preemptive Action

I arrived at the clearing—an eerie stillness blanketed the scene. The scent of iron lingered, mixing with the unmistakable aroma of scorched earth and ash. Death had occurred here—recent, brutal. B...

Update: Of Blood and Duty

Working on the most recent arc for NFF/Metamorphosis was really annoying, but thankfully, I got the chapters out, albeit three days late. I will begin working to finalise work on the next arc for OBD in a few hours after I get a bit of rest.

Chapter Ten: My Little Sunflower

The silence of Konoha's archives was the kind that weighed down on you, thick and oppressive, muffling every breath and heartbeat. It was the kind of silence that demanded secrets, that swallowed every whis...

NFF: Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine: Betrayals

I always thought I knew what betrayal felt like. I thought I understood its weight, its taste, its slow, corrosive burn. Sasuke’s face comes to mind, a silhouette against a roaring fire, eyes that had stopped seei...

NFF: Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight: The Catalyst

I’d never been one for lies, but it turns out that when you repeat something enough times, even you start to believe it. The village at the border—it didn’t look like much, just another place caught betwee...

NFF: Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven: Change

It’s been five months since I was released from solitary confinement. I was Chunin now.

Such a length of time can pass in the blink of an eye or stretch out like eternity, depending on what fills the days betw...

NFF: Chapter Six

Chapter Six: No Good Deed

The room was dark, the air heavy with the weight of unsaid words. The ceiling above seemed to press down on us, as if the walls themselves were closing in, pushing us toward a reckoning none of us were ready to fa...

NFF: Chapter Five

Chapter Five: Rebellion

It's been four days since we were deployed here. The briefing took place in a dim, hastily erected command tent. A large map pinned against the canvas wall was smeared with hurried, clumsy markings. At the front, th...

NFF: Chapter Four

Chapter Updates

That was the last of my fully fleshed-out drafts. I have a proper outline for the next ten chapters or so, but it would take two to three days for me to properly flesh it out to the point I feel comfortable turning them into coherent chapters.

OBD: Chapter Twenty-Three

Chapter Twenty-Three: Third-Party Interference

OBD: Chapter Twenty-Two

Chapter Twenty-Two: Bad Actors

The meeting room was dark and windowless by design. Deep within Konoha’s administrative wing, it was insulated from the village—from its life. The air was heavy with smoke from pipes and cigars, their emb...

OBD: Chapter Twenty-One

Chapter Twenty-One: The Proxy War

The sun was high, spilling its light over the garden, and the air smelled of the damp earth and fresh grass. Sasuke’s laughter echoed, a bright and pure sound, and I found myself smiling as I watched him...

OBD: Chapter Twenty

Chapter Twenty: Stalemate

The maps were spread across the table, weighed down at the corners by anything heavy enough to keep them from curling in the damp air. A single lamp flickered on the desk, throwing weak light over the lines and sy...
