Side chapter - The Seige of the North pt.1

A/N:

I decided to start posting all my unfinished fanfics: Winx fanfic is already up, and fanfiction in the world of Konosuba will be posted on the same time as this chapter.

It doesn't mean that I'm dropping this fic, or that I'll pay more attention to my new works. I will write chapters in turn, creating a cycle of several fanfictions. Maybe I'll get the motivation to write Prideful Wizard in MHA again. Dunno.

Unfortunately, my speed of writing may drop, but so far I'm not sure about it. Just be prepared for the fact that everything could be worse than now :)

Simple Russian Boi out.

Two weeks passed after their conversation and Michael noticed how the North began to slowly but surely prepare for war. In the armories, every day someone cleaned the swords from rust, put the bows in order or harvested more arrows. The armor for the soldiers, fortunately, did not need to be repaired, it was one of the few things that were still taken care of.

Several fairly strong Waterbenders were seen near the walls, reinforcing the walls with compressed ice. Princess Yue, along with her father, advised citizens to move closer to the city center under the pretext of renovations. They wanted to avoid the general panic that would come with the Fire Nation's attack, at least for a while.

Michael was also preparing for the future seige. His water clones were complete, and he was even able to create weapons together with the clones. Unfortunately, the technique of creating clones here was very different from the same technique in the world of Naruto. He had to spend at least ten seconds to create one "Zabuza" with his huge sword. So he created three in advance and left them in ambush near the wall where the siege would begin.

For the past few days, Michael has also been helping with the strengthening of the walls. Everyone knew him as a friend of the Avatar, even if no one was sure who he was, many did not even know his name. Lowering another ice plate next to the wall, he froze them together. Michael suggested creating protection from multiple layers so that the shells could not penetrate the wall so easily, Yue agreed.

The Waterbenders didn't talk to each other, preferring to work and finish the day faster instead of chatting, so when the screams started on the wall, they attracted attention.

"Look! Up in the sky!" someone pointed up and Michael breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that black snow?" Straightening his back, he looked at the falling ashes and soot with a small smile. He was already tired of the calm atmosphere in the North, diluted only by short spars with Katara, Aang, Sokka and Pakku.

"The princess was right!"

Michael chuckled, of course she was right. She had an excellent informant.

But besides the gray snow, there was something else in the sky. Appa swooped down on the wall and Michael jumped on his back. Sokka and Yue were sitting next to each other and definitely not panicking, but the princess' eyes were a little glassy.

"Have you seen the ships? Their numbers? Weapons on board?" Michael immediately asked, turning to Sokka.

He shook his head with a stiff face, "They're still too far away. That soot is flying in all directions, but to have so much..." His knuckles turned whitebwith how hard he was gripping the reins, "I wouldn't be surprised if there is more than a hundred of them."

Yue grimaced and looked at Michael with concern, still remembering his promise to end the battle with just one death. There has not been a single case in history where battles ended with only one death. Of course, the death of the generals undermined the morale of the soldiers and gave a huge advantage, but Yue didn't know who Michael intends to kill in order to end the battle.
