《Behind Closed Doors》Old People and Swords

"100? I'm not as patient as you all think I am."
"Nobody ever said you were patient." Sasuke just had to speak up.
"You haven't said a word this entire time and the first thing you have to say to me is an insult? I'll remember that."
He just shrugged. Kids these days so rude, and honestly I'm sick of it. I glared at him and turned back to Kakashi.
"Uhh, by the way, I'm not sitting through 100 of those missions. I heard that other teams were getting babysitting. I do not, let me repeat, do not associate with babies."
"You were a baby once to Naruko," Sakura interjected.
"Yeah and I hated myself then too."
She just sputtered like usual, and Kakashi ignored my earlier statement completely.
"Everyone goes home for today, we will get our next mission tomorrow and probably start doing more than once a day."
We all groaned and I rushed off as soon as possible. I think there was a rat under my steps this morning and I wasn't about to have a rat problem in my apartment. They were cute but I cannot share food.
As I walked in the door to my apartment I saw it. The rat, except it wasn't a rat.
News fucking flash it was a fat ass spider that looked about as big as Kurama and crawled around with the same amount confidence as Ino and Sakura.
What the fuck.
"Leave my house- leave my house! What the- holy shit- how did you get in! I'll call the fucking police. I'll call them I swear to the lord all mighty I will reign down on your people with so much anger you'll shake in fear," the spider made a move towards me.

"IM SORRY PLEASE LEAVE-"
Ended up having to ask Kurama for help to get rid of it but now it's gone. I think that was one of the scariest moment in many peoples lives including my own.
"This is the calmest you've been in the many years I've been alive, this makes me emotional I need a moment."
"I've got goosebumps, telling a lie on a live broadcast."
"I'm just hurt that you'd lie. It's obvious that compared to Sakura and Ino my lips plump as fuck. Leave me alone."
I walked to a small weapon shop not far from my apartment.
They charged more, but they didn't seem to really hold a grudge on me.
Honestly I think they just charge more because of better quality, but all these hate crimes against me got me paranoid.
I had saved up quite a bit of money and could buy many shuriken and kunai. I didn't need too many new ones, but I was excited to buy one thing I'd been waiting for.
I had custom ordered a sword that was honestly about to become my pride and joy. This thing was practically, literally was, worth my entire life. It had taken me years. Actual years to save up for this and I was never going to get over it.
It was a hand forged high carbon steel blade with a tungsten edge full tang katana. Long description for just the blade, but a gorgeous sword in my opinion.
The blade was black steel with the tungsten edge. Flames of tungsten worked into the black steel to create beautiful art on the blade itself. It was only somewhat curved, being mostly a straight edged blade.
The black rain-guard was somewhat larger than most other swords had was carved with the face of a traditional Japanese dragon.

The entire hilt was an easily gripped matte black with light texture that felt nice on the hands, the pommel turning into the carved face of the same snarling dragon as before only this time turned to its side.
The scabbard was a simple weaved one, but it complimented nicely with the fancy hilt and textured grip.
The entire thing being the dark black with a simple red gem in the hilt.
To say I was obsessed was an understatement.
Maybe it was weird to love a sword so much, but all I really gotta say is. When did I ever give a single fuck.
'Sometimes you gotta be the person you've tried so hard to suppress.' I'm so inspiring this is insane. Write this shit down.
I could almost smell the face Kurama was making.
Anyway I booked it home and tucked my sword into bed, sleeping my best that night.
-
Today was the day. The day I either spit or get spat on. Uhm.
By that I mean, I'm gonna yell at that old man until he gives in and assigns my team a c rank, or fucking smacks me upside the head.
I met the rest of this crummy team outside the Hokage tower. They all looked relatively upset because Kakashi had joked about getting us a babysitting mission.
I say joked, because I will convince this old fucker no matter what.
We walked in and at first I was gonna be respectful... I really was going to be! But then I realized. I don't care pfft.
"Gramps! You know damn well what I'm here to talk about!"
He sighed but smiled at me nonetheless. I just shot him back with a smirk.
"Naruko! That's no way to talk to the Hokage!" Sakura basically cried.
I think I'm getting better at ignoring her, because it only sounds like a small fly now.
"So you gonna give us a C-rank or what, you old motherf-"
Kakashis hand made his way to my mouth. Complaining about how he's "gonna get in so much trouble" that really sucks for him am I right.
"Alright I'll give you a C-rank."
Everyone collectively gave their own signs of shock. Even me, I wasn't expecting him to give in so easily. Even if I was one hell of a convincing person.
"What are you planning, you backstabbing piece of sh-"
"You'll be an escort."
"Ya'll love to cut me off."
"Who are we escorting?" Sakura's voice rang out.
"You'll meet him."
"I swear to kami"

King of Fools : Silver Tongue
A certain trickster spirit was fond of saying, 'me and my big fat mouth'. That could be Jasper Stone's motto. There's never been a situation in his life he didn't make worse by opening his mouth, because when he does, ridiculous amounts of trash-talk and overconfidence just spills out. He's never managed to do anything with his wits -- but when the God of Fools tosses him into another world for amusement's sake, he'll need to put them to use. Because there are bandits, dragons, and cultists out there -- none of whom appreciate Jasper's particular gift for insults. --Cover by the inimitable Vitaly S Alexius.

Until they tried to steal away my creator. Until, with no other option, I swallowed the Great Core that had made me. Only after that did I become what I was always meant to be. At last, I became the Great Core's Paradox in more than name. [The Endless Cycle] began. Thus begins the story of a little snake zealot and his journey to greatness.
8 229Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
