Even from within the hospital, Sakura could hear the sound of fighting. Most of the screams and shouts were muted by her classroom’s thick white walls, but she could feel the explosive tags that detonated close by as a passing tremor through her feet, and the largest of the blasts caused several of the beakers … Continue reading Chapter 46

The corridor lit up in a flash of light as Naruto activated the seal on his palm. After a second’s focus he was able to use the transformation technique to condense the light into a beam that illuminated the stone walls stretching out before them, and he took several long seconds sweeping the beam across … Continue reading Chapter 45

A/N: I’m terribly sorry for leaving you guys on a cliffhanger. After I lost my job I got sick, and with all that going on I had a really hard time focussing on writing. Terrible excuse, I know.

Naruto waited patiently by the Naka river bridge for the others to show up – or rather, patiently for his standards, meaning that he was doing his best not to fidget and shuffle around too visibly in order to avoid attracting unwanted attention. He had very purposefully not asked anyone, but he knew perfectly well … Continue reading Chapter 40

Sakura was, of course, the first to arrive in the classroom. The room itself was remarkably unremarkable. It was much like any other classroom, for all that she was currently in a restricted wing of the hospital controlled entirely by Tsunade of the Sannin. Rumour had it that the legendary medic never actually left the … Continue reading Chapter 39
