A/N: Hate to do these before a chapter but I have to give a little information on the poll, while I'm all for Samui being the pairing(I voted for her myself) don't do it for the sake of lemons(this applies to all pairing at that matter). This is T rated and will stay such. No lemons in the slightest, though I might do one in the Naruto Chronicles for the pairing of this story(unlikely however). I'll end the poll after about chapter five or so(maybe sooner if updates aren't too frequent).
Also I wanted to say that there is the ever so slight chance that I might just decide to go with one of the others on the list because it better suits the story. All thirteen will be involved at one point, or at least I'm aiming to involve them (the only for sure ones are the Konoha girls and Yugito/Fuu though the other cloud girls and Kurotsuchi will likely make appearances). The two female demon vessels along with Gaara and Kirabi will be involved much more later on.
If you voted for lemon purposes instead of a pairing, I'll let you change your vote if you tell me and I'll keep track of it. Odds are I will go with the winner though... Unless thousands of fans from certain pairings suddenly pop up and vote for their said pairing.
Oh, and another side note... I moved the other category to Comedy. There are just too many opportunities for it with Goku and Naruto being two of the key players. Though I promise Naruto will get smarter.
One last note guys. This chapter is a filler of sorts. It just progresses the story and the only purpose it serves is for Naruto's want to be trained by Goku even further. Anyways, onwards to the story.
Teuchi could not believe his eyes. The sight before him was almost horrific and would have been if it wasn't for one thing...
He was getting paid for the amount this man was woofing down!
Tears of joy rolled down his face as he served what had to be the hundredth bowl to Goku, who almost devoured it the moment it was put in front of him, Teuchi couldn't be happier. Sure they were practically out of materials but that didn't matter for the amount they would make would make up for all that was lost by four fold!
To the side spectators had gathered in shock to witness this feat. Most were people Naruto didn't know but there were those that he did and he couldn't help but join them. Sure, he could eat twenty bowls on a good day but damn... This was his one hundred and thirty seventh bowls and he was still going strong!
Even Chouji, Ino and Shikamaru couldn't believe what they were seeing and they had seen Chouza on an eating binge and that didn't even compare to this...
Where did all those calories go?
"More please!" Goku grinned and spun the bowl he just finished on his finger. "Any flavor, doesn't matter just keep'em coming!"
"I'm sorry sir, but we're all out." Ayame begun for her father, who looked like he was determined to run out and get more materials just to keep this man at the booth. "We can get more materials but that won't be until tomorrow afternoon as we have to assign a mission in order to get the materials."
Looking somewhat disappointed at hearing they were out, Goku suddenly got a pensive look on his face before the light bulb came on above his head. "So... If I go and get these materials for you... I could say... Continue eating?"
Ayame was flabbergasted. This guy had just ate about his weight in ramen and was still wanting more and was even offering to get the materials just to keep eating. "Uh... I believe so but you don't even know where..."
"Alright! It's settled!" Goku jumped up with a look of determination on his face before he turned to his current protégé. "Let's go Naruto! We've got a job to do!"
"I'm right behind you on this one! We'll get you your supplies Ayame! You better believe it!" Naruto grinned and gave her a quick victory pose, for he polished seventeen bowls off, forgetting what the Hokage had limited him to after watching Goku ripping through the delicious noodles.
The two were ready to run off and get the ingredients that were needed when they were stopped by the father of the pineapple genius. "Hey, you two do know that before you can just run off you have to clear it with the Hokage right?"
"Uh... What Mr. Shikamaru's dad?" Naruto stopped in his tracks before turning with Goku and seeing Shikaku looking at them with a passive glare.
Raising his eyebrow at Naruto, wondering how long it was going to take him to remember his name since he spent the night over at their place a multitude of times, Shikaku sighed. "Go clear it with the Hokage first. I'm sure he'll allow it for it is a mission and it is only C-rank. He'll also be able to give you two directions for it doesn't seem like you know where to go or what to pick up."
"Oh... Good point!" Goku sheepishly admitted while scratching the back of his neck. "Alright, let's get the directions first and then let's be on our way! Now who's the Hokage and where can I find him?"
Every spectator, including those that were there at Goku's crash site and even they sweat dropped, found their faces in the ground. This guy was in Konoha and didn't even know who the Hokage was? And at that he didn't even know where to find him? Everyone knew that!
Was he an idiot or just really dense?
"The old man we were talking to a little while ago! Come on, he's in the big tower over there." Naruto reminded the Saiyan warrior before motioning to the tallest building in Konoha. "Now let's go and get ourselves a mission!"
"Alright, I'm with you!" Goku stated and followed after Naruto in a hasty manner to the Hokage's office, keen on getting the mission to help Ichiraku's.
For the sake of food!
A certain head of Anbu picked himself from the roof top he fell onto and twitched behind his mask. This was going to be a rough month... He needed help.
That was for sure.
Hiruzen could only blink. It had barely been an hour and already there seemed to be a problem and it dealt with the alien visitor. And no, it couldn't have been an orthodox problem. It had to be something that you normally wouldn't expect. The only bright side it wasn't something difficult to deal with...
Just annoying.
"So let me get this straight you two..." Hiruzen twitched while he gazed at the two ravenous ramen eaters before him. "You managed to eat Ichiraku's out of their ingredients, forgetting my five bowl limit for you Naruto and you didn't think about stopping him after about fifty bowls... And now you want to go out on a mission to restock their supplies so you can eat more?"
"Yeah, that about does it." Naruto admitted without shame while nodding enthusiastically. "So how about it old man? Going to give us the mission? If you don't, Ayame will be sad and that will put me in a pranking mood."
Sarutobi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Naruto's attempt at black mail and would have attempted to ignore his threat if it was so imminent. Naruto was about the only person that could get the upper hold on him within the village... All due to a certain smut writer's work of art.
Sighing, trying to intimidate Naruto with his half-effort glare, the Third gave up and nearly threw his hands in the air. "Fine... It just so happens this is normally a once a week mission so I have all the information necessary on me."
Pulling out a scroll, checking once to make sure it was the correct parchment, Hiruzen tossed it to Naruto and was about to send them off before he realized who he was talking to. "Head to the town of Tao to the south of here a few miles down the road. You can't miss it. In the town you will find a man by the name of Reno. The scroll is the payment for the supplies."
"Alright! We're on it old man... We'll be back in a flash!" Naruto pocketed the scroll in his equipment bag and had almost ran out of the room with Goku before skidding to stop.
Feeling stupid that he forgot all about what the snake bastard had done to him, he quickly jogged back to the Hokage. "Hey old man... Before I go, something happened to me in the forest during the second exam."
Hiruzen's attention focused solely on Naruto and his already serious demeanor stiffened even more. The last thing he needed to hear was that Orochimaru did something more than place his cursed mark upon Sasuke. The fact that he also did something to Naruto disturbed him and he prayed beyond all hope that it was nothing similar.
"Can you elaborate more on that Naruto?" The Third asked in his usual caring tone with Naruto for it wouldn't do to show his worry to the boy. "I'm aware about what happened and your run in with Orochimaru I must say you are all lucky to still be alive. He isn't the most... Merciful when it comes to someone getting in the way of his goals."
Behind Naruto, stopping his jogging in place, Goku's face straightened. Just from the feeling he got from the elderly man when he spoke of this Orochimaru gave him the impression that this guy was a Frieza in the making. And that in itself was not good...
He would have to learn a little more later on and see what he could do.
Instead of feeling any fear about what could of happen, Naruto did something that somewhat surprised the Third Hokage and even Goku. He smirked cockily. "Then he's going to live to regret leaving me alive for I am the next Hokage old man and will become stronger than anyone before or after me."
Both Goku and Hiruzen froze at a feeling washed over them. While many others probably would have been able to put the feeling to the side... Neither of them could. They were excellent at sensing one's untapped potential and they both saw it.
They could see the mass of power that lay dormant within Naruto that just waited to be released.
Letting the shock was over him for a moment after the feeling faded, a low chuckle filled the air before the elderly Hokage shook his head, "Of course you are Naruto... Above all else, I'm sure that you will achieve your dreams. But now can we get to why you stopped? What happened?"
"Oh yeah!" Naruto snapped his fingers, almost having forgotten about why it was that he stopped. "He did something weird to the... He hit me in the stomach and sealed it off. I can't feel its presence anymore."
While most would panic at hearing that Naruto could feel Kyuubi's presence within him any longer, a frightening thought, the Third knew better and he knew his former pupil well. "Take off your jacket and raise your shirt and I'll examine what happened."
Naruto did as he said while Hiruzen got up from his seat and knelt for the blonde, gazing at the blonde for a moment seeing the seal flicker to life after he placed his hand on Naruto's stomach, flowing chakra into it.
Hiruzen immediately saw what the problem was. Orochimaru had been sloppy and had not sealed Kyuubi off completely, just its presence and a little of the demon's chakra. By doing that it affected Naruto's chakra and his control of it, drastically weakening him. "Ah... I see. Thankfully it is a rather simple containment seal. If it was anything serious I would have to call Jiraiya but I can handle this."
"Brace yourself... This is going to hurt a little but it will fix the problem." The Third pulled his hand back while gathering chakra on his finger tips.
In the next second the said fingers impacted his stomach at the exact points of the Five Pronged seal that had cut off the Kyuubi's connection with Naruto.
"UGH! That hurt old..." Naruto's words died on his lips as his chakra nearly exploded around him in a fiery display and he gazed at his own hands seeing the energy flow around his being. "Whoa."
Even the Third was slightly surprised at what he saw. Naruto always had a ton of chakra but this was different. It seemed more focused yet uncontrolled then it ever had been before. At first he thought that whatever the snake had done had thrown Naruto back to square one where he wouldn't even be able to complete the tree climbing exercise with practice again... But that was when he saw it.
It was almost unnoticeable to the normal eyes but his eyes were well trained. When Naruto's chakra burst around him he noted that his muscles slightly tightened and bulged. It was very minute changed that only a Hyuuga or someone close to Naruto would be able to notice. If he didn't know better he swore that what Orochimaru had done had strengthened Naruto instead of crippling him.
That thought only brought a smirk to his lips. Oh he would love to throw that in his old apprentice's face.
Goku too was impressed at the show before him. He would have said Naruto was about as strong as Krillin when they first started training with Master Roshi. But now after seeing this explosion he could compare Naruto more to himself during his adventures dealing with the Red Ribbon Army.
But there was also something else he noted... Something that felt weird with Naruto's chi. Remembering what King Kai had told him earlier about how they refined their chi to perform their techniques, Goku frowned. It truly did make them weaker but there is something else that seemed to be mixed in with the chi... Something that didn't quite go with it.
'I'll ask King Kai about it tonight. He said he did train some of the warriors of this planet before, maybe he'll know something.' Goku made a mental note to see what he could do to help Naruto train after he saw what could do. 'Also I need to know more about that seal... There's something foreboding emanating from within it.'
Finally as the chakra faded around him, the Third couldn't help but chuckle yet again at the blonde. "Well it just seems you are full of surprises Naruto. But you better work on your chakra control. It seems that Orochimaru threw it out of whack with that seal."
"Yeah... I kind of noticed. My chakra just suddenly welled up and expanded on its own there." Naruto was still a little shocked at what happened for he felt far better than he did before and to make matters weirder he just felt stronger.
Coughing to knock Naruto back to his senses, the Third smiled before motioning for the door. "Now I believe you have a mission to complete... Otherwise Ayame might be very sad that they have to close up shop for the next few days."
"Oh right! Let's get to Tao and talk to Reno about the supplies!" Naruto suddenly jumped back into reality before rushing out the door with Goku following.
The moment they left, Sarutobi simply looked at the corner of his room before the Anbu captain silently followed the two. In the next moment another person made his presence known and made the Hokage sigh. "So what do you think...?"
"Well... I don't know." The man responded and shrugged his shoulders. "It is obvious he's not from this world so we can't make any haste judgments. However I would have to say he's not a bad person. The only thing I would have to say is his reaction to Orochimaru when you mentioned him..."
"I caught that too... Now I just wonder what it was about for his power slightly rose for a moment." The Third responded with a frown adorned on his face. "While I don't buy his tyrant story... Maybe it was the truth and just from my brief description of Orochimaru it reminded him of that tyrant."
"You can't rule it out. I don't see why he would lie. It doesn't benefit him and with the power he hast... if he was truly an evil overlord... Why make us believe differently? Why not just annihilate us and wait for his minions to come and pick him up? Why train one of our own?" The other man rose valid points to the Third.
The Hokage could only nod at them before sighing. "True... But you are more trusting then I am, Jiraiya. Just like Naruto you can see the good in a person within their heart..."
"And it has only failed me once." Jiraiya pointed out before frowning at the thought of his ex-teammate. "So it would seem that we're going to let him train Naruto over the month to see what he has to offer and to see if he's a threat?"
"That is how it must be." Hiruzen sadly admitted before gazing down at the village and at a certain pair as they moved to the south gate. "But I hope beyond all hope that nothing goes wrong... I wouldn't want to explain what happened to Minato and Kushina in the afterlife."
"You and me both, sensei." Jiraiya cringed as he knew what both would do to him if they learned he let anything bad happen to Naruto and he didn't even bother to save him.
A Thousand Years of Death with the Rasengan was the least of his problems... What Kushina could do to him made him shiver.
That women had a violent streak in her that made the Kyuubi cringe in fear.
"Hold on!" Naruto cried out to Goku, trying to follow after him once they left the town.
He found it incredibly difficult to chase after the Saiyan by foot. He thought Kakashi was hard to keep up with during their training exercises... This guy made Kakashi look like he was going in slow motion.
Goku knew he was easily out pacing Naruto. He was testing how fast he was and his guess was right. He was just as fast as he was while he dealt with the Red Ribbon Army, maybe a little slower. Speed didn't seem to be one of Naruto's strong suits but that was okay. To be honest he was still young and from his guess he had only just started to train.
And that was impressive to Goku. He had been training all his life and while he was sure Naruto trained a little since he could walk, it probably wasn't too serious. To start off at this level of strength was quite amazing for he knew that on Earth that must martial artists dreamed of getting to that level for it was enough to compete in the Tenka'ichi Budokai.
Slowing down to match his speed, Goku sheepishly smiled at Naruto. "Sorry about that but I was testing how fast you were to see what we're going to have to work on after the mission."
"Oh... Cool!" Naruto at first was a little peeved before it clicked in his head that they would be training to increase his speed.
Naruto had always thought he was rather slow. Sasuke by far was faster and even though he hated to admit it Sakura was actually faster than he was. Then again, that was about the only she was better than him in other than just being smarter and devilishly beautiful...
Kicking out the fantasies of Sakura that jumped into his mind, Naruto focused more onto his eventual training with Goku. "Okay, so then are we going to get some weights likes Lee has or something like that?"
"That's a good start but I still have to see what else you can do." Goku mentioned sensing the town ahead and started to slow his pace to try and blend in once they arrived. "Oh before we're there... What was that seal on your stomach? I noticed that the Hokage did something to it but I wasn't sure what. Could you explain because I'm kind of new here and don't know anything about this planet?"
Goku had to suddenly stop as Naruto skidded to a halt. The look on his face made the Saiyan warrior wonder what he had said to offend him when Naruto spoke. "I rather not speak about it... It isn't something I like to talk about."
His voice almost made Goku think twice about asking. He was just curious but to get that kind of reaction meant it had to be something bad. And now noting a stranger presence and power fluctuating within the blonde before him made him wonder even more. "Does that have to deal with that second and more foreboding presence I sense within you?"
Naruto jumped back at this startling revelation. His new sensei could sense the fox within him? He wasn't sure that he was impressed at this skill or worried about it for now he would have to explain. And he really didn't want to say anything because what if it changed his mind about training him.
He would be left with nothing again if he saw him like so many villagers did. And maybe even less because it would be such a blow to learn that it wasn't just those that lived through the Kyuubi attack that feared him for containing the beast. That would be a crippling blow indeed...
Sucking in a deep breath and exhaling, Naruto brought forth his courage and decided to tell his hopeful trainer about the fox demon. "Thirteen years ago... A demon of great power attack our village and we were unable to do anything about it. His power was just too great for even the Fourth Hokage, the strongest of our village. Killing the beast was impossible and even defeating him looked bleak..."
"But then our Yondaime, Namikaze Minato, came up with a way to defeat the nine tailed demon. But in order to do so he had to sacrifice his life and the life of a newborn child that the beast would be sealed within. With the technique he succeeded in defeating the beast by sealing it within the child who was then burdened with the demon that killed so many of the village." Naruto told the story with sadness as it was hard not to seeing the results with his own eyes.
"And that child was you..." Goku spoke for he realized how the story was going to end. "I can't say I understand what it was like for you but it must have been a hard life for you. But hey, you know what?"
"You made it through it and that makes you even stronger for it." Goku smiled at Naruto catching him off guard as he ruffled the blonde's hair. "Having a strong body is only part of the equation. If you don't have a strong mind or a will to use it having power is meaningless. And it also seems that you know what is most important too."
"Huh?" Naruto was even more confused than before, trying to understand what Goku was saying.
The Saiyan's smile only brightened at Naruto as when he ruffled his hair he took a quick peek at his life. "That in the end you are willing to lay down everything you have for your friends, even your life. Only those that are willing to give up everything for what they care for truly become strong."
To say Naruto was surprised would be an understatement. He was utterly baffled at what Goku had said for it was so much like what Haku had said... And how he had begun to live his life. And this man seemingly lived by that philosophy for his entire life and the moment he felt his touch leave him he could feel the storm of power that lay within.
And he knew that power was meant only for those that threatened what Goku held dearest to him.
More than ever before he wanted to be trained by this man. Not just for how strong he was and to learn some really cool and badass techniques from. No, he wanted to learn from this man that lived the life that he had started to travel.
He wanted to become just like Goku and fight for what was precious to him.
"Hmph... The demon is out of Konoha?" A voice chuckled not too far away noticing Naruto and another approach Tao on a mission most likely. "This could be interesting... I can finally get my revenge and prove my loyalty to my lord."
"Just you wait demon... I'm coming for you." A dark laughter echoed as he began to set up a plan to get the boy alone so he could tear him down like he did to him.
"Geez whiz... There are so many people here. Which one could possibly be Reno?" Goku wondered as he searched high and low, looking for where Reno could possibly be so they could get the supplies and get back to Konoha.
He was getting hungrier by the second and the longer he had to wait... The more restless he would become.
Taking out a map, which was conveniently located in the scroll, Naruto scratched his head for he wished there was a 'You are located here' spot on the map. Luckily there were street names and the location of Reno's surplus was circled on the map so finding the place would be a breeze.
Theoretically anyways.
"Oh man... I think it is on the other side of town." Naruto groaned reading the street name they just passed and then reading the map. "Great... Let's turn around..."
"Oi Gaki!" A somewhat familiar voice yelled out from behind Naruto who in turn jumped and turned around to see a nightmare come true.
"AH! CREEPY EXAM LADY!" Naruto yelled and pointed at Anko, who in turn sweat dropped at the blonde.
Then her embarrassment quickly turned into anger and she gripped Naruto by his coat's collar and started violently shaking him. "Brat! My name is Anko! Get it right! Now tell me what you are doing out of the village! Contestants to the third round aren't supposed to be let out of the village during the break!"
"Um excuse... Mam." Goku tried to coax the women, who Naruto obviously knew and who acted a little like Chichi, to let go of Naruto. "Um, hello... Could you let him go?"
"What do you... OW!" Anko turned on Goku and started to yell at him before she let go of Naruto as he bit down onto her hand. "Why you... You're going to pay for that!"
"If you weren't choking me I would have answered you psycho!" Naruto fired back, adjusting his coat collar back. "And for your information we took a mission here to get the ingredients and some supplies for Ichiraku's ramen since they're out! We're just kind of lost otherwise we'd be on our way back."
Blinking for a moment, still pissed that the brat had bitten her hand, Anko gazed at the oddly dressed man that had tried to stop her from her usual antics when someone angered her. She had never seen him before yet for some reason he was on this mission with Naruto. And it was unorthodox to put a genin that had made it to the finals of the Chunin Exam on a mission since they were supposed to be training on the same day the prelims had ended.
None of it made sense to her. So she was going to figure out what was going on and why there were Anbu in the area. She was cleared to be here since she too had taken a similar mission for her dango stand... For she would do anything to keep them in stock with her favorite food in the universe.
Little did she know that she was staring at a man from a different planet.
"Brat... You do realize that Reno is on the other side of town, right?" Anko twitched at Naruto noticing a map in his hand before she sighed. "I'll take you to him. It just happens that I'm out on a similar mission myself."
"Really! Thank you!" Naruto seemingly forgot that Anko had been threatening him moments before.
"Yeah, don't mention it..." Anko sighed and pocketed her hands into her trench coat.
Leading them through the city, knowing the village well, they quickly found themselves before a man in a tux with a strange pair of sunglasses and spiky red hair that was tied into a ponytail. "Yo Anko! What took you? I was worried since you're here by five exact on Wednesday. ...And who's the kid and the funky dressed guy?"
"It's the Chunin Exams and I was a proctor. I couldn't just take time off to get the stuff." Anko shrugged since the village took priority over even her love for dango, which she hated at times. "And the kid is Naruto, a finalist in this year's exam. He's here for Teuchi's weekly payment. The guy... I don't know. Who are you?"
"The name is Son Goku." Goku responded with a happy smile now that they were in the spot now and could get what they needed. "Can you hurry and help fetch the ingredients for us? I'm still hungry..."
To punctuate his statement his stomach roared loudly leaving the other three to sweat drop, none greater than Naruto since he saw how much Goku had devoured.
"Okay..." Reno simply blinked before standing and opening the door behind him, leading them into a warehouse before pointing to a few haversacks on a two wheel oxen cart, which conveniently didn't have an ox. "Anko, I already have everything ready for Yura's delivery so if you wouldn't mind waiting, I'll get Teuchi order."
Waving him off, since it really didn't matter for her, Anko let Reno get the things and in a few moments the cart was filled with both Teuchi's and Yura's orders, which Reno marked for them so they didn't get confused. "Well, there is this week's orders Now if you would, the payment please."
Watching Anko take the money from the scroll and handing it to Reno, Naruto looked at his scroll for a moment and attempted to do the same thing. Failing horribly the first time, Anko sighed and rolled her eyes. "Kid, just apply some chakra to the seal. The money should come out."
Naruto did as Anko said and was somewhat surprised when his other hand was filled with a large bulk of ryo before he handed it over to Reno, who looked surprised. Seeing there was a note as well, Naruto read it out loud. "Oh, the old man said to increase the size by tenfold for this month... Something about Goku eating them out of business with my help."
A large bead of sweat fell from the back of both Anko's and Reno's head at this revelation and could only look at the toned man for a moment, wondering where all the calories went. The former could understand with Naruto since he was always so energetic from what she saw and burned a lot of it off... But neither understood Goku's reason.
What was he? Alien?
After getting over his shock, Reno and a few helping hands brought everything over and completely filled the cart with the materials needed. Anko looked somewhat leery with the amount of weight and tested it herself before she grinned. "Kid, today is your lucky day! You get to pull this back to Konoha!"
"What? What about the ox?" Naruto fired back at the thought of having to drag this all the way back.
"Sorry kid, we don't have an ox. Too much trouble to keep one around. That's why ninja are hired for this mission anyways. Most can lift loads like this and take them back to Konoha." Reno commented before hefting the cart up once on his own to show it wasn't so difficult.
"Besides Naruto, it is good training." Goku chimed in, thinking it was a great way to start Naruto's training. "I did a lot of things like this I'm sure you can get it done. Just think about how much stronger and faster you will get by carrying it all the way back to your village."
Despite not seeing it as training, Naruto still was a little cautious about this. Still if this was going to make him stronger, and his goal was to be Hokage, he couldn't possibly let someone else do this. "Alright, I'll get this to Konoha in a heartbeat!"
Jogging over to the wooden handles in front, Naruto placed his hands underneath and using all his might, he hefted the cart up.
Or tried to at least.
Watching Naruto's face burn a bright red as he struggled to slowly pick the cart up, Goku felt a little sheepish for he could see how heavy it was. It was rather heavy for he saw the purple haired women, who he could tell was a lot stronger then Naruto, struggle lifting it with a decent effort.
So just to help him Goku walked to the other end and with little effort, using only a finger, pushed that side of the cart down just enough to so that Naruto was holding it level. "Are you ready Naruto?"
"Oh man this heavy!" Naruto groaned as he gasped in effort just to keep it level.
While Anko wanted to laugh at Naruto, for he looked hilarious, Anko's entire body tensed as she noticed what Goku had done. Now she would admit that she could manage this cart on the way back to Konoha, but it would take something out of her. It was far heavier than a normal load and was easily half a ton.
And he had only used enough to push it up to help keep it level so that the weight wasn't entirely placed upon Naruto's shoulders.
Anko narrowed her eyes at this development. Just who was this man?
A/N2: Sorry for ending it there but I'm splitting this chapter into two pieces. When I said earlier that this chapter was kind of filler, it is to an extent. However the entire month before the exams is going to be an arc on its own and this is the start of it. There should be two to three more chapters, maybe four, before the exams begin.
Also I'm going to try and keep my chapter length around four to five thousand. sometimes six to seven in a long chapter. I'm just trying to keep them short and sweet so I don't write myself into a corner like I do with longer chapter stories.
Well anyways, other then what I said above about the poll, I'm going to try to get everything going a little before the exams. So tell me how you think I'm doing and if I'm keeping everything on track and the characters on key since I'm trying to match their canon personalities, for the moment at least anyways.
See you my friends, Peace Out.
