Welcome Traveller!

Hey there fanfic fan! I’m Sarakiel, an aspiring writer who really likes the realm of fanfiction for sharpening skills before I begin my own book series. Primarily I’ve written Harry Potter & Naruto Fanfiction. So just check out this little corner of the web for whenever the bug bites me to write!

The biggest story I’ve got is Naruto : Tenshikage, which is an AU from the Naruto Universe. Basically an entire new adventure / story using the Naruto characters, splitting off from Canon after the Sasuke Retreival arc. This story has gotten massive and I’m quite proud of it so far.

Periodically I also do some artwork related to the Stories I write. I’m going to post that in the Gallery Page.

Stick around, things are going to get interesting.

aruto : Tenshikage – Chapter 24 : Growth

Wave Country

As he crested the hill, Ji-Hoon cursed the sunlight beating down on his body. The only reason he was able to move in the daylight at all was that he was a half breed. Somewhere along the way his mother had taken a human man and mated with him – devoured him afterward of course – and given birth to Ji-Hoon and four siblings. What had followed was a very short childhood as demons grow faster than human. Within a matter of five years Ji-Hoon had matured and destroyed his siblings for that was the nature of their world.

The Land of Demons looked down upon half breeds, but still encouraged their creation. For that ability to go into the sun allowed them access to the broader world at large. And Demon’s needed humans for various reasons. Sometimes food, sometimes slave labor.

1 week after the Konoha Attack

“Are you sure this will work?” Tsunade looked doubtfully at the seal on her palm. A glance around the room they were in showed that everyone else was having a similarly hard time believing the words of the seal master.

Jiraiya looked stricken. “You doubt me? I who taught the Fourth? I who once created a seal on a pair of eyeglasses that allowed it’s wearer to see through walls for five hours?”

Tsunade chortled. “Those glasses caused five days of blindness after. And you only ever used it on the bathhouse!”

Jiraiya grinned. “Ahhh….good times.” He cleared his throat with a blush. “Anyway, this works on the same principle as an animal summons. These are temporary contracts each of us has signed with Naruto. He can now summon us to his location, at which point the seal wears off. Perfectly harmless.”

Naruto : Tenshikage – Chapter 22 : Rogue Wave

Five hours after Iruka’s rescue

“Give me a status report!” Danzo ordered. He had set up a temporary office in a building adjacent to the now defunct Hokage’s tower. He glanced up at where it used to be angrily. Long had it been a symbol of Konoha’s might. No matter. I will make it bigger and better than before, a testament to MY greatness.

“We have found the bodies of several ROOT leading into Training Ground #4. We’ve also found the body of one of your honor guard, code name ‘Lizard’. One of our sensors detected the residue of Naruto and three others heading off to the East*. There are no tracks to follow, we are unsure of their method of travel.”

Danzo swore angrily. Losing one of his four guardians was a bigger blow to him than the Hokage’s tower. He’d invested a lot of time and effort into their selection, development and training.

“East? Why East? They would have had more places to run if they went West.” Danzo thought for a moment. “Didn’t the Jinchurriki once do a mission to the East? In Wave country?” Danzo had monitored every where they let their little weapon ran off to years ago.

“I don’t know sir,” the ROOT member responded. Danzo scowled at him, his mind working at a million miles a minute. He may have been many things, but Danzo had a keen mind for war and politics.

“They must be heading to Wave Country. I had sent a notice to them a few weeks ago along with all the other smaller countries bordering us to become one of my territories or perish. I’ve yet to get a response. ” He looked hard at the ROOT member. “Perhaps an example needs to be set. Two birds with one stone. I want you to gather a force of three hundred and pursue the Jinchurikki and his friends. He must pay for his crimes against Konoha. If he is as I suspect sheltering in Wave Country, then they are harboring a fugitive from Fire and Earth Countries. We will invade and suppress them. That should send a clear message to the other border countries to not delay in joining with me.”

Danzo glanced down at his papers. “I expect you to be ready to leave within two hours.”

The ROOT member cleared his throat. “May I suggest sir that we use a primarily Iwagakure force? We are down to a few hundred loyal ROOT members, while there are many Iwa ninja about the city. It would be useful to send them into battle where casualties may be high.”

Danzo smirked. “Good. See to it.”

Naruto : Tenshikage – Chapter 21 : Guardians

“There it is!” Hikaru shouted out, pointing out the approaching island to Calamity. The two of them had been nearly inseparable since the pirate attack two weeks ago. That had become less frequent though as she had needed to step up her training regimen. Calamity had seen where her skills needed to be improved. Her arrows had limited stopping power, so she had asked her teammates for help. Sakura had explained chakra theory to her, and suggested that if she infused her arrows with chakra, they’d pack a bigger punch.

Kakashi had helped with the testing, and discovered that Calamity was a fire type. So she had been doing some basic chakra control exercises every day, just trying to find and form chakra. Kakashi told her it would be months or even a full year before she could push that chakra down into her weapons in any practical way.

Hikaru had taken to feeding a giant tiger that the circus troop had on board. Every day he would go down to the hold and take breakfast and dinner for the tiger, and talk to it. Calamity had overhead one of his conversations with the tiger who just lay on his paws watching Hikaru curiously. He was talking about his mother, and how his father and mother were separated. Not wanting to intrude, Calamity left before he knew she was there.

Now however, they were all up on deck, watching the Land of the Moon as their ship approached it rapidly.

“It looks magnificent!” Hiroka said breathlessly. And indeed it did. Sparkling white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and lush forest. It certainly seemed like an island paradise.

Naruto : Tenshikage – Chapter 20 : Paths

Tengoku

Inari threw the shuriken at the target for the hundredth time, his fingers releasing the weapon at the perfect apex of his swing, spinning it with a flick towards the closest he had come to dead center so far today. He glanced towards the other students in this section of the training field. There were maybe ten, eleven other students who had gotten this far in the chambers. It had been a grueling couple of months, but Inari had, with fierce determination, kept pace with the top students in the academy.

Tenchi had remarked to him once that his resolve was second to only one student he had ever had. Inari smiled at that thought, bringing another shuriken to his palm, ready to strike. His goal was to be a ninja like Naruto was, and he was well on his way.

Today though, today was special.

He looked around again at the other students, and saw it; the thoughtfulness in their eyes. Today the decision had to be made. Inari himself thought he knew which way he wanted to go, but maybe after the demonstrations today…

Tenchi walked over to his top twelve students, having watched them practice with targets for the past hour.

“Gather round,” he said quietly. As one they stopped training and formed a line in front of their Sensei. He appraised each one of them, looking into their eyes one at a time.

“Today you will decide which martial art path you will walk down. At the start of the program, we told you that we have many different styles here; the way of the Ninja, the way of the Samurai, the art of Lucha Libre, Mabry’s style of street fighting.” He paused at the excited chatter of some of the students.

“Now I asked you to research these styles in the library, as well as any other, and I repeat, ANY other style that you might be interested in. Even if we do not have a teacher here who can be your sensei, we might be able to find you one. Both myself and Mabry have an extensive network of connections and friends.”

“First though, we are going to have a series of display matches to show the strengths of each style so you can fully understand. Head on over to the practice field on the other side of the tower. I’ve gathered all the other students there as well for this demonstration.”

Naruto : Tenshikage – Chapter 19 : Break!

Konoha

It was an odd smell, ammonia and fur together. It assaulted the senses. Shikamaru shrugged it off and looked back at Kiba. His face smiled, his voice was steady and sure as he spoke to his friend in his recovery bed in the Inuzuka clan grounds.

“I’m very glad you are healing Kiba.” Shikamaru said elatedly. “Your bravery in the war against Iwagakure will be noticed I’m sure.” He grasped Kiba’s hand in a firm shake and let go, beaming.

Kiba was not the brightest of the rookie nine, but neither was he a fool. Shikamaru was not the overly joyous type, nor was he about to congratulate anyone for that battle. He glanced down at the piece of string he felt in his hand. The string that Shikamaru had slipped there. The string was exceedingly thin, impossible to see from any distance away.

Kiba felt a chakra pulse coming from the string, and realized it was Shikamaru. Old Ninja code. Shikamaru was sending pulses in numeric sequences. Kiba grasped the idea. Shikamaru didn’t want anyone to hear what he really had to say.

He frowned. But that would mean that Shikamaru didn’t trust the safety of the clan buildings, or maybe the clan itself. His clan.

Their teachers had spent the better part of a month training them in this code. A useful technique. Kiba hadn’t really wanted to pay attention, but his mother had beaten some sense into him. This could one day save his life.

He focused on the pulses Shikamaru was sending.

Naruto : Tenshikage – Chapter 18 : The Burning Sands

Tengoku

“Hey Naruto!” Nagi shouted across the hall. “How many bottles of water to pack?” he eyed his duffel bag and contemplated shoving another few bottles in the lumpy looking pack. Ten more maybe…

“What?” Naruto shouted back from his room. “Just the one canteen should be enough?”

“What?” Senjii shouted across from his room, poking his head outside. The boys had all chosen rooms on the same floor, same corridor. “Guys just bring enough to not slow you down. Honestly haven’t either of you been to the desert before?”

“I crossed that same desert more than a year ago!” Naruto chimed back in, adjusting the jacket on his white ninja ‘suit’. Despite the heat they expected, Jiraiya had told them to dress properly. The heat wouldn’t kill you, but the sand might, and the nights were bitter cold. Naruto chose to wear a lighter material shirt all the same. The jacket would come off easily enough if he got too hot.

“Yeah well, not all of us have an auto-regenerating body.” Senjii said as he shuffled into the hallway. He too had his Jacket slung over his shoulder.
