    Ino scanned the dark horizon, watching for anything that might look like an army marching toward them. Being on a team with Hinata wasn't what Ino had expected. She would never admit it, but she enjoyed Hinata's idiosyncrasies. They were funny, funnier still to tease her or pretend she didn't...

    "We don't have the numbers to take on the whole fortress," I said between branch-hopping. Karin was on one side, Ino on the other. Tenten was a few feet ahead of the pack. "With time to prepare, we could do it." I twirled an exploding kunai between my fingers. "But that would risk the people we...

    I felt two more of those strange chakra signatures below us, climbing to the fortress's top level. Was it the werebat woman from earlier, and someone with her? My brief contact with her wasn't enough to memorize how her chakra felt. We were not ready to fight two other shapechangers and an army...

    As much as I’d hoped otherwise, the mobile fortress wasn’t unguarded. Metal-clad goons patrolled the area in tireless rotation, usually in groups of threes, sometimes fours. I pressed against the communicator on my throat. “This is Black,” I said into the static. “We are in position.” My...

    “What now?” Tenten asked while looking over the devastation. I had seen this through my clone’s memories, but being here in the middle of things and with time to think was a different story. The enemies we fought dissolved, armor included, into gooey puddles resembling liquefied cupcake dough...

    The plan we made, as simple as it was, revolved around stopping the genjutsu shinobi before she could target any of us. It was the reason why I hit hard and for a moment, thought I had killed her. Last I saw her, her head was caved in. Which shouldn't have been a surprise, given that the thugs...

    I told the team all the information I could: the town, the enemies, the genjutsu, the disturbed graves. “How are we going to deal with the genjutsu shinobi?” Tenten asked when it became clear the team wanted to investigate. That was a problem I didn’t have an answer to. “Kai release didn’t...

    I ignored the burning stares directed my way and found a nice, pretty patch of grass near the river, with the trees around us providing cover from anyone travelling through the road. The eyes hadn't left me as I put the fabric over the grass. They hadn't faltered when I summoned food. They still...

    Given the night’s events, there was no way I’d go back to sleep. I didn’t wake Karin or Ino for their turn. I spent the rest of the night in silent contemplation, and maybe self-hatred. What made me confront the sword was the constant feeling of being watched. I should have known better and...

    “Thank you, Obaa-chan,” I said with a small bow, offering my simplified ‘thank you’ kit to the old woman. I still felt queasy regarding the past night events, but I hoped it didn’t show on my face. “It’s nothing, dear, I hope you find the little critter,” Obaa-chan said, taking my offerings...

    “Fuin☆Rangers, assemble!” I called out as soon as I entered training field three. To my horror, dutiful Red looked away and didn’t stop her training. Yellow just rolled her eyes and punched the dummy harder. White pretended she didn’t hear me. My shoulders slumped. I got no respect. Damn it...

    I held the customized kunai: seal-inscribed, Yondaime-inspired. In theory, it should work. In practice, it didn’t. A tired sigh escaped me. I flopped back on the chair, groaning loud enough that Karin, on the bed, stirred. This wasn’t working. I canceled the chakra light bulb, shambled to the...

    When: The day after the council meeting. “We’re changing the teams,” Shikaku said as soon as I entered his office. I straightened up, saluted. I was a bit giddy about meeting the Jonin commander. All other times I saw the man, it was always with someone else. This was our first real...

    From atop the tree, I looked at the band of miscreants down in the clearing. The roughshod tents, the burnt campfire. It hadn’t been hard to find. Following the trail led me straight to the camp. Even if the trail failed, I needed only to follow my nose. The camp reeked; piss and shit and old...
