《Jinjuriki Compound》Part title
Advertisement
Yagura went out to collect Fuu and all of the Teru squad sent their shadow clones to the forest to train. Yagura and Fuu followed Tsunami into the village to get food and Naruto and Gaara followed Inari as he went to play with the other village children.
As they were following Tsunami around, Fuu looked around excitedly at the first village she's been in since she was two and Yagura calmly observed the interactions and the attitudes of the villagers, along with what was in most of the stores. Very few stores were open, and the ones that were open didn't have much to sell. The little food that was being sold looked pretty old, all wrinkled up and moldy. The only food that there seemed to be plenty of was fish, but as this place was an island, that's not all that surprising. As opposed to a normal village, where the market would be a bustling hive of activity, this market was rathe desolate. With the exception of Tsunami and a handful of other people buying stuff, the only ones out other than the food vendors were beggars, mostly underfed children, who sat around, hoping for even the tiniest scrap of food.
Fuu sighed, disappointed as she noticed the same things and got her rations out and handed them out little by little to the children that they passed. Yagura wordlessly passed her his rations as well and thought about the wild plant he saw in the forest yesterday, including the ones that were not really edible for normal humans but would probably go down with minor fuss for a jinjuriki. Yagura decided that it would be good training for them as a group and determined to take Naruto and Gaara's rations from them later that night. He would of course be saving them for the next time he went to the village.

Yagura picked up the bag of rice that Tsunami just paid for and ignoring her as she protested, very firmly told her " I will carry this and you will not waste the little money your family has left cooking for my team. That bridge your father is building has to be pretty expensive, and there is no way that you can easily pay to feed eight extra mouths when you can't pay for a properly ranked mission."
Tsunami blushed at Yagura's accurate claim of the money situation in her family, but still protested " We're not even paying your group for this mission, the least I could do is feed your team."
Yagura waved her off saying "We'll make your village pay once your village is able to. I told you this before didn't I? We'll work out a type of payment after the mission. Plus, I still need to teach my team some survival skills, so you not feeding us will actually be pretty advantageous for me."
Tsunami frowned, but sighed and nodded, giving in. Yagura have a brief smile in response and moved back to where Fuu was, carrying the bag of rice like it was a trophy. It was a pretty odd sight, but Fuu giggled at his manner and jumped up so that she was sitting up on his other shoulder. Yagura stumbled, rolled his eyes, and followed Tsunami back out of town.
As they were getting close to the house again, they ran into Naruto an the others. Naruto excitedly grabbed Yagura and Fuu's ands while happily babbling about all the games that he and Gaara played with the village children all the while pulling them towards the house. Gaara followed silently behind them, adding his input every once in a while, but mostly just watching in amusement. Tsunami went ahead of them to start preparing dinner, and Inari hurried behind her to go help out and so that he could avoid the Teru team.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
