A Routine Escort
Suzuko was none-too-pleased about the situation. She'd expected to get involved in missions with Konoha and Kumo ninja in the first leg of her journey as part of the pilot program, but this was unplanned in every possible way. No mission scroll to fall back on for orders, no peer to boss around so s...

" It was diplomacy, not a trick! " She argued, which was true really, getting the bells by any means necessary should have made that a viable option! Darn these tricksy ninja and their tricksy tricks. Of course, with further trickery abound she was extra on her toes! However, she was only human, and...

Suzuko's attention was taken up by the Awai in the moment. With the mist blown away by her fuuton jutsu, she was able to pinpoint and find them rapidly, within a consistent, ideal range. " Stop! " She commanded, her voice tinny but exaggerated and clear thanks to the voice amplifiers in the suit. " ...

Suzuko nodded, and internally noted that being so close to Konoha somehow didn't imply a level of implicit protection to this smaller village. She tried to think for a moment about how a similar situation would have played out in Heart, but with Heart's military and school system intrinsically linke...

The Adventures of Beeko and Suzuko: Chapter One
Hah, Suzuko was so smart. Beeko didn't even try to understand the genjutsu they were in, and so it was pretty clear that her fist smashing through his face was the only reason he managed to break free from the clearly pretty powerful illusion that this dumb egg kid was casting upon them. She really ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy1K8N7GDwg The world was war, wasn't it? It was hard to see it any other way for Suzuko, probably right around the age of thirteen by this point, whose life had been embroiled in two wars already. Certainly, she'd been so little that the only thing she really rememb...

Treated as a noble in many respects, Suzuko was quite used to getting what she needed, which maybe made it all the more frustrating when she wasn't given what she wanted. She was pleasantly surprised that Nakano was approaching with what appeared to be honest intentions at first, and she was hoping ...

There had been similar ideas when she was growing up, including a famous one in the academy where in order to teach the children restraint, they did duels to reverse first...

As Roku stood up to head up the students, Suzuko's eyes followed his foot steps as he made his way to stand opposite of her. She'd seen the kind of monstrous men that samurai could be when pushed, and she wondered if he was one of them. In his own way he already was fairly monstrous in appearance al...

When Nakano arrived, she would find Suzuko stretching casually, arm over head and bouncing to gently loosen the muscles in preparation for training. She'd been lost in her own thoughts, and so didn't hear the woman approach until she spoke up and turned to face her. She offered a genuine smile. She ...

Suzuko may have been trained in Heart's tenants of bushido techniques, but she wasn't exactly worldly despite being somewhat well-travelled for her age.

Suzuko took a half step back as the man fell from up above like that, these ninja sure were extra!
