Arc XII Chapter 2
━━━━━━┛༻❁༺┗━━━━━━
His hosts didn't make Kakashi wait for long. Accompanied by a set of guards, he was escorted through Amegakure, heading straight for the Hattori clan compound. He was apparently awaited there.
They reached the manor and eventually the designated room. The security was tight as expected. There were guards everywhere. They were the same ninja as before. Clad in black and grey.
Kakashi entered the room. He was greeted by his hosts with open arms, literally.
The man smiled, sitting on the floor on his cushion. “Welcome Hatake Kakashi, ninja of Konoha. I am Hattori Masanari, head of the Hattori clan. What brings you here all the way to Amegakure?”
Kakashi knelt, bowing to offer his respect. “Greetings Lord Masanari. As you might know, I was sent in the name of Konoha. I am here to deliver a scroll.” His hand deposited the scroll. A servant quickly arrived to hand it over to Lord Masanari.
Lord Masanari accepted the scroll and broke the seal to read its contents.
“Hmm, ...
I see ...
How curious ...”
Lord Masanari closed the scroll, returning his undivided once again to him. “From what I can gather, Konoha asks us whether we would like to participate in the next chunin exams. I still need to discuss this matter with the council, but it shouldn't be much of a problem. Unless there are any complications, we should be able to send one team or two.”
“I see.” Kakashi nodded.
Lord Masanari maintained his polite smile, the smile of a diplomat. “Was this everything, Kakashi, or is there anything else Konoha seeks from us?”
Kakashi lowered his gaze. “It is, but if I am allowed a question, Lord Masanari.”
“Oh, of course, go on, Kakashi.” Lord Masanari wasn't seem bothered at all.

Kakashi took the opportunity. “If I might ask, what happened to Lord Hanzo?”
The temperature in the room fell instantly, but not Lord Masanari's mood. His smile didn't falter in the slightest. “What a curious question, but understandable your foreign background and the rumours floating around these days. I presume you believe him dead, but you are mistaken, Kakashi. Lord Hanzo is still among us. It is just that the tooth of time has taken a toll on him. Age doesn't spare anybody, not even the strongest. Thus, Lord Hanzo has decided to withdraw from the world of politics for his remaining days. In his stead, it falls to me and the rest of the Hattori clan to take a more active role now.”
“I understand”, Kakashi nodded. He understood. Whether Lord Masanari's words were a lie or the truth was another matter entirely. He had his doubts, but it was better to not question him. “I will take my leave now, Lord Masanari. I have already claimed enough of your precious time.”
Lord Masanari agreed, “You may.”

Flanked by another retinue of watchful guards, Kakashi navigated through the mansion of the Hattori on his way to leave. So this was how his journey to Amegakure ended. He arrived with more questions than answers. And he left with even more questions than answers ...
A sillhouette. A shadow. A familiar presence. A fairy. It was brief, but for a single fleeting moment, his senses caught from the corner of his eyes her figure, the figure of a lone girl striding through these venerable halls. Her black, silken hair. Her pale, fair complexion. Her faint, beatific voice. The confident smile gracing her ruby lips. The regal and imperial aura accompanying her every step.
Kakashi halted immediately, frozen to the spot. Wasn't this ... But it was already too late. Just like this the girl had already vanished, disappeared, never to be seen again by mortal eyes. Only meant for the fraction of a moment, the mysterious girl was no more. As if the girl had only been a figment of his imagination, an illusion. Never real to begin with.

His guards stopped, halting. One of them addressed him, his tone harsh. “Is something the matter, Konoha-nin?”
Kakashi shook his head, dismissing his thoughts. “It's ... nothing.” It was probably just a feeling. Just his mind playing a trick on him in his old days. Nothing more.

The Deathseeker [Under Revision]
NOTE: This story has dark elements, but it's neither grimdark nor particularly edgy. It's also currently being revised. Satan's Axe...Lord of High Honor...The Immortal Giant...The Black Maelstrom...Son of Thunderfield...The Gods' Retribution. Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. “My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.” With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster. Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details. What To Expect: A good time. In a few more words than that, a cast of believable characters in a unique world dealing with conflicts and problems a little bit more complex than punching the big evil guy in the face. Just a little though. Minimum Word Count a Week: 5000 Release Time(s): Between Friday 12pm EST and Monday 6am EST I also write A King in the Clouds

In this dark fantasy story, which moves between a brutal post-apocalyptic real world and a virtual game world, the only way for Ricky to succeed in his quest may be to let go of his humanity...

GIG: God In Gold
So let's cut the pretense: this is some garbage-tier weaboo fiction. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I feel it's important to say that this is some nonsense I write for fun. I don't think it's very good. I'd even go as far as to say that I'm not a good writer at all. I picked up a ball that started rolling when I was a kid and have been intermittently punting it towards the next chapter whenever I feel like it. And you can come on this garbage ride too if you really feel like it. Who knows, maybe there's some gold to be salvaged from this dumpster fire? Synposis: Satou Shibuya is a first year student at Niflheim's Kawagusa General Academy. He's also the self-proclaimed strongest power user, sporting a big enough number on his birth certificate to make a nuclear bomb glow green with envy. There's something to be said about a person whose head is so far up their own ass that you find yourself watching their every move with bated breath, ever curious to see which hole they'll dig themselves into next. This is not that kind of story. This is a story about pride, coming of age, but actually, this is a story about big, stupid superpowered fights. Update Schedule: Whenever.
