Naruto skirted the clogged streets of the night market. At nearly 1 a.m. it still pulsed with sounds, smells and people. Down one edge of the market ran a seedier set of streets, full with the promise of nocturnal activities. Bars, clubs, karaoke joints blared their names from neon signs, and all manner of illicit […]

Preview: Chapter 3 – The Night Market Naruto moved slowly through clogged streets of the night market. At nearly 1 a.m. it still pulsed with sounds, smells and people. At the edge of the market, down in a seedier set of streets where the warehouse and shopping districts overlapped, Naruto came to a corner where […]

Chapter 2 – Stolen Smile The red cigarette tip in hovering in the dark was the only sign Naruto saw that his two contacts were waiting for him at the end of the alley. He didn’t know why he was meeting them at the back door of a video game parlor, but he didn’t ask […]

Author’s note: Just a preview of the next chapter of The Night Market, the modern Naruto AU fic I’m working on. Still pretty rough, so forgive any errors. Also will be naming the security guards before I finish the chapter. So that’s already one thing that will change in the final draft, instead of ‘the […]

Thought it was time to finally update this little site. As the story grew, it became harder and harder to manage. One of the biggest problems was the theme was no longer supporting the wp upgrades.

Author’s note: In the first few chapters I did not name the members of Katsuro’s team who gave him such trouble on the way up to the temple, after they’d ambushed Sakura.
