"Unaffected" Fanfic Chapter 2 part 1​



---------------------------------------------------


Satoshi makes his way home, through the abandoned streets. Everyone is back inside by this time, no one would dare to break curfew. Still, Satoshi is unable to stop thinking about what Ace and Hikari said:

"It can't be true. Father would never... would he? What do I even say to him? Hi father, I heard that you were a dictating tyrant.”


Almost home, he walks up a long ramp leading into the Therakage's palace. It is an ornate yet imposing building, casting it's shadow own upon Satoshi. He greats the guard team at the doors and then heads up to his room on the third floor. "What do I even say to him? Hi father, I heard that you were a dictating tyrant.” Satoshi flings his door open and tosses himself onto his bed. As his thoughts turn, he stares blankly at the ceiling. What to say? Or should i even say anything? What to believe? Should I believe anything? A few minutes pass and all is peaceful until he hears his bedroom door begin to open. With his heart pounding, Satsohi sits up quickly from his bed. The golden doorknob twists, and from behind the door the Therakage emerges.

Roice, the Therakage, ducks his head to enter his son’s room. His enormous muscles are visible through his clothing. His everlasting stern look is plastered to his face.

"F-father, you're home early," Satoshi sputters out nervously. He feels a drop of sweat running down the back of his spine.

"This is true,” Roice says with a deep voice. “Is something troubling you?”

"Oh... umm, nothing sir," Satoshi replies with a trembling voice.

"How is your training?" Roice calmly asks.

"I am beginning to master your lightning style jutsu: Collapsing Shock, but," Satoshi's voice cracks, and he pauses, looking down in shame, "It's no where near as powerful as yours."


-----FLASHBACK-----


Screams resound across the battlefield as shinobi fall to the the ground in agony. It is truely a scene of mass carnage. Some ninja lay upon the earth taking their last breaths while others fight with all they’ve got. Kunai fly through the air, some strike their targets and some miss. Medics rush to the wounded and the dead are left stagnant. Sensory ninja on both sides feel a huge source of chakra heading toward their location.

"Finally, Roice is here! Everyone, get back!" a ninja shouts. Thirty three shinobi rush past bloody kunai and mangled dead bodies to get to Roice.

"Are all of our men out of the way?" Roice asks.
"Yes sir. You're all clear," the ninja replies.

The commander signals and the Ash’s shinobi begin retreating.

Roice does a five motion hand seal.

Blackout

Instantly the sky turned black and darkness covered the entire battlefield. "I only sense sixty seven enemies.”

Lightning Release: Collapsing Shock

He breathes ominously, placing his hands upon the earth. Lightning strikes down from the heavens like a dagger, hitting every enemy shinobi. The blackness clears to reveal charred bodies scattered all over the ground.

"Most of them are dead." Roice says dismissively. "Finish off the survivors."
"Y-yes sir," The shinobi reply, astonished.

-​

A few days after the battle, Kazan, the Therakage, leaves the village with an outfit KOBU members. He had planned on meeting the other Kages at an undisclosed location, but for some mysterious reason he never arrived to the meeting. Villagers begin to worry about their Kage's disappearance and never imagined that someone as powerful as him would ever be in any trouble. The elders in the Village Hidden in the Ash, after growing more and more desperate, decide they are in need of another Therakage to replace Kazan. They organize a meeting in their palace. It is grand affair, and the three village elders sit on elegant golden chairs at a marble table. The elders sit upon golden thrones with serious looks on their faces.

The first elder speaks, "Who do you believe the next Therakage should be?"

The second elder replies, “I have already set my mind on Roice. He is the most powerful shinobi in the village. I would say he is even more powerful than Kazan was."

The third elder responds, "Come on, you know we all must to decide together."

The second elder continues, “I have already decided and I am not changing my mind.”

The third elder, beginning to get a headache says, “Well, knowing you, your temper will worsen the more we debate. I agree that Roice is extremely powerful. He would do his best to defend the village.”

The first elder nods his head and replies, “I see that Roice has won the majority vote then. I will send my aide to bring Roice back here and we will inform him of his new position.”

The first elder sends her aide to retrieve Roice from his home. The aide shortly arrives at Roice’s house and together, they both travel back to the elder’s palace.

Roice opens the large wooden doors with a single hand. “What’s this all about?” he asks.

“Kazan has been absent for so long so we must assume he has passed,” the second elder says.

“The time has come for a new Therakage,” the third elder adds.

“We have decided to make you the new Therakage,” the first elder states.

"I see,” Roice says calmly as he clenches his fists, “I will uphold my position with the highest honor. I will not fail the village!”


----END FLASHBACK----


"I don't expect you to be at my level yet. How is your healing jutsu progressing?" Roice asks his son without expression, or maybe even disappointment. .

"I’m slowly getting better at it but it's harder than I thought," Satoshi says in a low tone.

The Therakage replies, "I see," and begins exiting Satoshi’s room.

Satoshi blurts out eagerly, "Father wait!"

Roice's feet stop and his head turns back, "What is it?"

Satoshi remains quiet for a moment, suddenly unsure as to whether he should continue. But then he speaks up, "Why did you send KOBU after Ace and Hikari?"

Roice raises an eyebrow and calmly says, "Simple, they broke the law."

Satoshi becomes infuriated and asks, "Why do we have these dumb rule in the first place? Why can't we go outside these stupid village walls?!"

Roice turns his body around and faces his son. “As the Therakage and as your father, I am not required to answer your question.”

The Kage turns to again to exit Satoshi’s room, but stops in the doorway. His formidable frame fills the space. Satoshi draws his breath.

“True peace lies within the village.” the Therakage murmurs.

-End-

I found only two 'mistakes'::::

You repeated yourself here-

"It can't be true. Father would never... would he?" He enters the Therakage’s palace and makes his way to his room. "What do I even say to him? Hi father, I heard that you were a dictating tyrant.”


Almost home, he walks up a long ramp leading into the Therakage's palace. It is an ornate yet imposing building, casting it's shadow own upon Satoshi. He greats the guard team at the doors and then heads up to his room on the third floor. "What do I even say to him? Hi father, I heard that you were a dictating tyrant.”

And-

Sensory ninja on both sides feel a huge source of chakra heading toward their location.

Change to: Sensory ninja on the opposing side felt a huge source of chakra heading their way(rather than sensory ninja on BOTH sides. Both sides would feel the presence, but they both wouldn't feel it coming their way.

Otherwise, excellent read. Looking forward to more. ^.^

Ahhh, that is partially my fault. Sorry. When I got around to editng the first draft, there had already been some revisions, so Shanee said he would merge my revisions with other versions. I wrote that second little bit (starting from "Almost home...") so I would guess that bit was pasted in close to the original line and then no one removed the first part.

Very good writing, but that's not why you asked me to read it. You're looking for that undead feedback to help improve your writing, right? Well, here goes.

While the spelling and grammar is quite exceptional, I couldn't help but notice some issues, especially in the second paragraph. I'm not going to go through and point out every single error I find, as that isn't the point I'm trying to make, but instead point out that a spellchecker can only go so far. While the writing is well done, and the plot is moving along nicely, there are a few other things that have been nagging me. Perhaps you could step up on the description of things. Again, that is inevitably up to you, but it's something I'd like to see.

One last thing, instead of putting in a large break and throwing flashback in the middle of it, try a paragraph that will make it obvious it's no longer the present anymore. The whole "Flashback" thing kind of kills the mood you created a bit.

Other than that, your writing is fairly good and I can't wait to see how you progress over time. Keep up the good work!

Everyone pretty much mentioned the only issues I could have named. Adjectives and adverbs are your best friends, make sure to use them. The setting, an often overlooked element in a great deal of writing to begin with, needs a bit more justice to be done for it. Make it easy for your reader to take in the whole setting, as you see it in your mind, down to the smallest detail. Make a portrait with your words serving as the paint.

Also, as Kishi has taught all of us, flashbacks shouldn't come at pivotal moments. If they do, they had better be short. The flashback is better used after or before the main brunt of story line taking place in the present time occurs. Makes for better coherency and flow.

But that's me just regurgitating what you've already been told. Nice work.
