- Friends -

Naruko leaned on Toshiyori's shell, cupping her ear to listen to the footsteps of her visitors marching up the path.

"From the sound of it…" She pondered, "just two people are approaching…"

Toshiyori halted his crawl before the path where they could see a man and a young woman approach them.

Naruko hopped off Toshiyori again and dusted herself, to make sure she looked presentable.

"Good day to you two," Naruko greeted with a low bow, "what can I do for you?"

The old man and the young girl returned the greeting with lower bows, held a bit longer. "Good afternoon, miko-san, my name is Ichiraku Teuchi, and this is my daughter Ayame. We moved here from a small city with hopes to start a new business, a ramen stand to be exact."

"Judging from your introduction, you would like me to perform a blessing for your newly opened stand, correct?" Naruko quirked her head to the side, a little interested but a little bored at the same time.

Ayame clasped her hands together, "It would mean so much to us. When we heard a miko had moved into town, we wanted to start business with some good wishes…will you do it?"

Naruko thought for a while, mostly on the matters for compensation, "Very well, I'll do it. I would prefer there be a reward, but I'll perform the blessing without any fee. Think of it as a grand opening discount from the Konoha shrine."

Teuchi and Ayame smiled with glee, "words can't express how happy we are, please come with us, miko-san."

Teuchi and Ayame started their walk down, Naruko turned to Toshiyori, "set up a gate while I'm away, alright?"

After they had left, Toshiyori shifted forms to a healthy looking old man with a long graying beard in green robes. He stretched his back a bit, glad that though he was 2000 years old, he was still in his prime, "good, let's begin then."

Toshiyori summoned a shell-shaped shield and planted it on the ground between the trees, "Shikigami Turtle seal: Pride of the Gatekeeper!" The shell expanded and flattened out into the shape of a green rock wall with "eyes" and hands, jutting out to hold unto the trees for support.

A small corner shop in the recreational district of Konoha, the newly established Ichiraku Ramen had that pervading, relaxing atmosphere. Something that appealed to Naruko more than those fancy restaurants that most of the people went to.

Ichiraku ramen appealed to her in the sense that it was simple, that anyone was welcome. No need for fancy clothes, even simple casuals or maybe messed up clothing was accepted. Guests had to just remember to regularly bathed, and avoid coming to the shop nude, in consideration of others.

"I like your establishment, it's homely and calm. Not stuffy like those bigger places, not crowded like those beef bowl houses, and not too lazy like the dessert stores. I love it!" Naruko's praise was certainly welcomed by the Ichiraku father and daughter.

"Thanks, I was specific about the type of place it would be, do I need to fetch anything you may need, miko-san?" Teuchi inquired thoughtfully.

Naruko grinned their way, "Naruko is fine. As for things I need, I've got everything. Just make sure no one interrupts me because this process is a little tiring."

"It takes that much spiritual energy?"

Naruko stood on tiptoe before tapping Ayame's shoulder, "you're well informed. Well it's not that but I'm maintaining roughly 12 or so duplicates building a shrine; Meaning two-to-three of them are performing a "shrine approval" ritual, while the rest are using some of the Ki I am remotely transferring to enhance their physical strength."

Naruko opened her eyes after her explanation; I knew I'd lose her… Naruko thought with disappointment until Ayame tapped her on the shoulder.

"Umm, I don't know if it's a good suggestion but…" Ayame fidgeted where she stood until she looked at the shorter girl beside her, "If you reduce output from clones that are either stand-by or don't require as much, maybe you can store some of it. And the Ki they are infused with are in proper circulation correct?"

Naruko nodded dumbly, her mind processing what she was saying, "then I suggest you release the hold. I read once that Ley lines, astral paths to be exact, increase certain flows of energy. Thus, you don't need to send them Ki anymore as the astral path allows them the correct amount you'd normally send when it is not present…I'm not wrong am I?"

Naruko looked away from Ayame's figure and squinted in deep thought, "By the gods, you are right!" She hugged Ayame's waist, seeing that is was the only part that her shoulders reached up to, and closed her eyes in concentration. She felt somewhat revitalized after cutting off the flow of Ki swimming back and forth in the air.

"Amazing…" Naruko thanked the older girl, curious about how she knew.

Teuchi huffed with pride, his chest inflating, "Ayame here is a fanatic of mysticism. She talked a lot with her friends concerning the mysteries of this divination stuff. She's quite the brain, eh?"

Ayame slapped her dad in embarrassment, giving Naruko a slight feeling of nostalgia. "Indeed, well shall we start? Ichiraku-san I still need you to halt any would be disturbances because I need to concentrate. Ayame, I also need you to hold my sword for me, please."

Naruko stepped forward, spectators forming around the area to watch their new Miko perform a blessing ritual. She threw her hands to the side, fans flew out of her sleeves, which she caught with ease, opening them and beginning her dance.

Her high-pitched voice smoothed out while she sang out the song accompanied by a step and wave of the fans. Naruko's trance like motions mesmerized the onlookers, had them rooted to their posts in awe of the grace and focus she gave each swish of her fan, lyric of her song, or the dance itself.

The children smiled in silent awe when they noticed blue wisps rise from the ground and dance with her, sparkling in daylight like droplets of a blue sun. They watched her facial features, eyes glazed with deep focus with her hair rising and falling in gentle rhythm.

At last, her song held the last note in her throat, as if translating a shrill screech into a smooth, low melody. She ended her performance with one knee bent, leaning forward with her arms spread out on either side. She closed the fans quickly and tapped the closed frames above her. The conclusion came about as a bright flash of light that rose into the sky as a stream of blue lights, a sign that the good intentions of the Ichiraku family were accepted by heaven.

Naruko exhaled slowly and stood, "The ritual has been concluded. Your business shall prosper so long as you do not sallow the gods kindness and acceptance of you."

The spectators dispersed, talking about the exciting performance they saw. Some wondered if it was some kind of display of chakra, or if special effects were needed.

Teuchi and Ayame bowed in deep gratitude for the miko's kindness, "thank you so much. Let us repay you with the first ramen bowl of our service to Konoha."

Naruko smiled, "Your welcome, now let's eat."

It was astounding.

She had ramen before, but not as good as the one Teuchi had cooked. She leapt from her chair in glee, exclaiming how a simple bowl of pork broth, pig meat, flour noodles, egg, and vegetables, could be exquisite.

Teuchi took great pride in his cooking, he explained that he added feeling into his "works of culinary art", that he made it a goal to see those expressions of joy that she had just demonstrated after a few bites.

What had amazed father and daughter the most was Naruko's appetite.

Right now she was happily gorging down on her third bowl for the day. Ayame felt she needed to act now, "Be careful how you eat, Naruko-chan. Too much and you'll get fat."

Naruko set down the now empty bowl and wiped her mouth clean. She drank a glass of water before commenting on Ayame's warning, "There's no need to worry. My adoptive family had told me that I had the biggest appetite in the shrine, second to Kotori-nee."

"Thank you for the early dinner," Naruko slid off the stool and gave a slight nod to emphasize her appreciation, " I promise to be a regular customer from now on, have a good night."

Naruko's humble stroll back to the shrine had little impact on most of the townspeople. Little kids ran up to her to say hi every now and then, of course the occasional teen dared to follow her with their eyes. Either mesmerized or bound by sheer curiosity of not only her attire, but also her role in the Konoha community.

Not to say her return was uneventful, she had a chance encounter with some of the students from the academy making their way home. She noticed a couple of girls flocking towards a mysterious, sulking, black-haired pretty boy who glared in their direction now and then, something Naruko found utterly useless as that was what looked to be the attracting point of this guy.

Two girls at the front started arguing about who he might have been glaring at, was it the pink haired girl with the wide forehead? Or maybe it's the bossy looking blonde one? Our miko found it rather idiotic when the other groupies of this boy started fighting one another over whom it could have been. How did she know so much? She had the pleasure of walking past them.

They chose to ignore her, much to her joy, and continued their drooling festivity. Naruko came across a few girls who had not been part of the "fan-girl brigade" as Naruko called it.

She rounded the corner toward the clan district, unaware of the little patch of dark hair colliding with her equally small frame. Naruko staggered a bit before reorganizing herself, she turned to the source of the thud and squeak to find the person she knocked into.

Her short indigo hair accented her moonlight hue skin, her clothing gave Naruko the impression she was reserved, and possibly timid from the baggy jacket and knee-length pants. She knew for a fact that this person was human; otherwise Naruko would have thought her as a life-sized mannequin animated by prolonged existence.

"I'm sorry, I hadn't seen you there, are you alright?" Naruko reached out to help the girl up, she looked up then back down while accepting the hand.

"Thank you," the girl whispered while keeping her head down, "I should be sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." The girl analyzed the person in front of her, "by chance, are you new here?"

Naruko brightened up, "I am, my name is Naruko and I'm the new resident of that hill over there."

"I'm Hyuuga Hinata, a pleasure to meet you," Hinata replied with practiced etiquette common among the Hyuuga.

"The pleasure is all mine," Naruko came up with a brilliant idea; kill two birds with one stone right? She thought. " Hinata-san, can I ask you to accompany me back to the shrine?"

Hinata was surprised by the request Naruko presented to her, she understood the situation as the miko being unfamiliar with the village yet, "Naruko-san, may I consult my father first?"

"If that provides me with company, then by all means." Naruko and Hinata walked together toward the Hyuuga compound, talking about small things on their way.

"Can I ask a few things, Naruko-san?"

"Sure, but drop the formalities, Naruko is fine."

"Alright, Naruko. Umm," Hinata thought for a moment, "where are you from?"

"The shrine on Konohana Mountain, from the small village of Mizore," Naruko answered, a little hint of sadness in her voice, something that was not lost on Hinata.

"Is something wrong?"

Naruko shook her head to rid her mind of sad thoughts, "It's nothing. Anything else you want to know?"

Hinata looked forward and spotted the mansion gate drawing closer, "I might need to wait. We're here."

The two gate guards found the young lady and a blonde girl, presumably her friend, walking toward them.

"Welcome home, Lady Hinata, is she a friend of yours?"

Hinata nodded, "This is Naruko, my new friend. May she come in?"

The two guards looked at each other and shrugged, "She may, but she has to leave her sword with us."

Naruko stopped Hinata's objection, "that's quite alright Hinata," she de-armed herself, giving the sword to the guard, "please handle it with care."

Naruko wasn't totally impressed by the spacious walls of the Hyuuga household; she had been to places equally large during her travels. She noticed that many of the Hyuuga were different in their stance within the home.

Some that had green symbols on their foreheads, walked with their head bowed. Emotions such as hate, contempt, and subservience swirled about them. Others walked with such esteem, so much it intoxicated and effectively irritated Naruko, the air of arrogance around them was annoying without doubt.

Any higher, and their chins would touch the ceiling, Naruko commented.

Naruko and Hinata stopped in front of the door to her father's study, "Father, I have arrived."

"Come in." The deep authoritive voice emanated from behind the paper screen.

The sliding door opened to the sight of Hiashi working on a few documents, it looked as though he had not looked up at all.

"Father, I brought a guest with me," Hinata announced in a voice so subdued, it was unknown if she were speaking at all.

At least it drew Hiashi's attention from the papers on his desk, his cold demeanor slightly softened when he realized who the guest was, "I see you have met the new village miko," he turned from his daughter to Naruko, acknowledging her presence in the room, "it is good to see you again, Naruko-san."

"Likewise, Hiashi-sama."

The man turned back to his daughter, "what is your business here, Hinata?"

Naruko willed herself not to openly frown when she felt her host wince at her father's order, "If I may I wish to escort Naruko-san back to her shrine, Father."

"Granted," he said quickly, "take this time to assist her in familiarizing herself with Konoha."

"Yes father."

"Back to our questions Hinata, what else did you want to ask me?" Naruko returned to her cheeky demeanor when they had gotten out of the Hyuuga guards immediate line of sight.

Hinata looked to the sky for her questions, "Oh that's right. How old are you, Naruko-chan?"

Naruko grinned cheekily, "11-years-old, you're the same age I take it?" Hinata nodded to show she was right.

"Did you travel alone?"

Naruko shook her head, "Nope, I arrived with my turtle, Toshiyori."

"How come you didn't mention your parents?" Hinata felt that it was wrong for her to ask but she asked anyway.

"I don't have any, I'm an orphan," Naruko's nonchalant reply shocked Hinata a bit, prompting her to apologize. Naruko pouted again, "You have to stop apologizing all the time, for now I'll let it slide because it's a natural response."

"I'll try," Hinata blushed a little, beginning to enjoy being around the more open Naruko, "but aren't you sad about being alone?"

Naruko turned back to the road, "Not in the slightest. But hey I'll tell you a few things about myself, if you tell me more about yourself, deal?" Hinata agreed to their trade of personal information.

"Well Hinata-chan, you know what Miko do from books right?" Naruko looked at her new friend.

"Umm," Hinata tapped her chin, "Miko assist priests of local shrines to perform ceremonies and take care of the shrine. When there aren't priests, they are the authoritive figures in that particular shrine." Naruko nodded and asked her 'what else?'

"In the old times, Miko were believed to be the hand maidens of the gods and goddesses, they acted as care takers and messengers for the people of the gods. Umm, oh! And from the comics I read, they are girls with amazing spiritual energy, capable of driving off evil spirits."

"Excellent! All right, how much do you believe of that is true?" Naruko looked excited, Hinata noticed it right away and decided to ask her.

"Most of it, and I believe being able to drive off evil is also true I guess," Hinata answered, a bit unsure.

"Well I can do most of that, and a little bit more. I'll show you when we climb up these steps," Naruko pointed at the newly built stone stairwell traveling up the hills curve.

They marched up the stairs together. Hinata noticed some other shrine maidens continuing the stone stairs, who looked surprisingly like her companion. "Are all of the Konohana shrine maidens blonde?"

Naruko looked confused for a moment before realization hit her, "You'll find out soon enough."

The peak of the hill, and they passed underneath the newly built Torii gate. The field around them entrance Hinata, trapped in the beauty of a shrine in the making: the gate was beautiful enough, not too bright but the red was a calming yet forceful color. The shrine in the process of having the roof finished, and there appeared to be a house being built behind it.

Several of the similar looking blondes ran about fulfilling their duties, some of them with armbands shouted orders and reprimanded the lazy ones. Most of them were focused as a circle chanting around the construction.

An elderly man sat on a stump in deep meditation, his unheard breaths mingling with the mild breeze. It would have been more convincing, and admirable, if it weren't for the comical bubble growing and shrinking with every silent breathe.

"Yo Toshi, wake up!" Naruko shouted into the man's ear, effectively throwing him off his stump.

"Oh! Milady, your back," he noticed Hinata fidgeting behind her, "ah we have a guest! A pleasure to meet you, my name is Toshiyori." The elder man bowed to the girl, likewise she returned with her own awkward bow.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Hyuuga Hinata, Naruko's friend."

"Toshi, please go make us some tea," Naruko beckoned a few of her look-alikes to bring over a makeshift table for them: plywood and a large flat rock.

"As you will milady, but please," he sighed, "next time, do wake me in a gentler manner."

Naruko giggled and bobbed her head, "Sure I will."

"Naruko-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Is he your butler?"

"No, he's my turtle, Toshiyori."

Hinata was taken back by her answer, she was estranged by how she addressed the elderly man serving her, and Naruko sighed when she noticed.

"I told you I'd show you what else I'm capable of, right? Well watch and be amazed…" Naruko stood a bit far from their table, "I will show you the power of Onmyoudo!"

She drew talismans from her sleeves, crossed her arms and began her incantation. A glowing blue glyph appeared beneath her feet as her voice echoed with some power, "Shikigami of flashing twilight, come forth and bask in thy glory of thine master! Shikigami summon: Ginzenko!"

The one talisman glowed in her hand, and the glow burst into a flurry of lights before converging in front of Naruko. The particles began to take the shape of a four-legged animal, maybe a large dog or a wolf. Hinata gasped when the light dissipated and turned into a silver colored fox, a patch of white fur around its neck like a collar.

"I'm not done yet, Hinata-chan! Noble of the azure sky, spread wings and prove thine worth to me. Shikigami summon: Takamaru!"

The other talisman flashed as well, the particles of light shooting up into the sky. The glowing form of a large hawk swooped down and landed beside the silver fox.

The fox frightened Hinata, because it wasn't as small as the ones she had grown accustomed to. The fox and hawk were the size of large dogs, like those from the Inuzuka compound.

The fox snickered from her reaction, "Don't be scared, I won't bite…as long as you don't mess with me or Naruko here, then we're peachy" it spoke in an androgynous tone.

Hinata was beyond astonished, "Speechless eh? Typical of a human. In the presence of anything with the semblance of an animal that can talk, they freak out." The manlier, yet snider, voice came from the large hawk.

Naruko stopped giggling and suggested that both Shikigami take their humanoid forms. They agreed and glowed again. Hinata watched the silver fox stand on its hind legs and the glowing shape becoming more human.

The fox turned into tall woman, with a voluptuous frame and long silver hair. Her eyes had a seductive look to it; its jade pupil drew you in for some reason. Atop her head sat a pair of silver-white-tipped fox ears, a similar pattern for her tail. She wore a steel blue battle robe, a pair of short-swords tied behind her waste.

The hawk was different, he wore something similar to a tengu she had seen on a children's book. She identified it as so from his footwear (large-toothed geta) and the red, long-nosed mask he lowered and replaced with a pair of glasses. His face gave people the impression of some intelligent man, maybe a strategist because of that war fan he was holding.

"You called us here to impress your new friend? Master, certainly you know better," Takamaru, the hawk Tengu chastised Naruko for her need to show off a little.

"Actually, I wanted to meet this friend of hers," Ginzenko bent down to address the shorter girl, "Hi there."

"Uh…hi…." Hinata answered, a bit wary of the two summoned creatures.

"This is only a bit of what I can do," Naruko hinted, "I want to show you more but that'll have to wait."

Naruko, Hinata, and the Shikigami sat down together for some tea to pass the time until Hinata had to go home.

"I'll walk you to the bottom, it would be impolite of me not to," Naruko's eyes narrowed before she continued, "that, and I must attend to a client waiting for me."

"Client?" Hinata shrugged it off, maybe it's part of Naruko's job, she thought.

Naruko waved Hinata goodbye and turned to the other direction, where a few of the civilian council members along with their bodyguards stopped a few steps away from Naruko.

"Good evening to you, Naruko-san." The trades supervisor bowed, "These three fools are not satisfied with your work dispelling the haunting ghost. So they have a request for you," The supervisor stepped back for the other three to walk up.

In the background, a few of their bodyguards stood chatting amongst themselves.

"It takes a demon to hunt another, huh?" One of the bodyguards sneered.

"She's alone, maybe we can take her out now?" The rattier looking one suggested, until he felt the cold touch of sharpened steel tapping his neck.

"I wouldn't dare, trash." Naruko's Shikigami held down the bodyguards of the opposing three, just to keep her safe. The unfavorable three reeled back in terror, glancing her way with faces expecting an explanation.

"A precaution I must take, anyway what do you three want?" Naruko shifted to her other leg, clearly annoyed by their appearance.

"We have a job for you: there have been nightly attacks in one of the nearby settlements outside of Konoha's walls. The situation started as a simple missing person case, but bodies have been turning up nearby. We would like you and an accompanying chuunin to investigate it."

"I don't hunt for free you know…"

"1,000 ryo for a successful job." The old man interjected to stop her from ranting any further.

Naruko sighed and muttered "lousy penny-pinchers" under her breath, "I'll deal with it tomorrow."

As she had asked, one of the bodyguards produced a map to the small village of Dokun. The sound of the scoffing councilmen signaled their irritation at not being sent off properly, Naruko rolled her eyes and chose to ignore them.

During her ascent up the stairs, she noticed a small shadow run down the woods. She paid no attention mostly because it had not felt threatening at all.

The shrine acceptance ritual had been completed during her chat with the civilians, but the shrine itself and the house behind it were still under the process of finishing touches.

Her clones that were chanting a moment ago had switched tasks to cooking for their master, assisting with the needed decors in the shrine and the house, and a whole bunch had received permission from the Hokage to install plumbing in the hill.

- Flashback -

It was a strange sight for non-shinobi working at the Hokage tower to see multiple, blonde haired shrine maidens line up outside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi ushered them all in and asked what Naruko needed, and if the real one was amongst them.

"Hokage-jii, we need a deed allowing us to install plumbing on that hill"

Sarutobi agreed and produced the needed document, not without asking first though, "Was there a real need to send all of you here?"

The clones looked to each other for answers, but settled for shrugging simultaneously while deadpanning "I don't know."

- End -

Naruko pulled out the sleeping bag, laying her head on Ginzenko's large fluffy tail for a pillow. Her mind floated back and forth between the events of today, such as her introduction to Konoha and the fateful encounter with her new, and first friend in Konoha.

She could call Ayame her friend too, but she felt more like a helpful sister that could give her some advice, or maybe even a cousin because Teuchi gave that air of being the kind uncle.

Her smile slid off her feature when she remembered some of those annoying looks the civilian council, and a few of the villagers sent her way. Just the thought of them had her ruffling her hair and growling, alerting her closest Shikigami.

"Is something wrong, Naru-chan?" Ginzenko nuzzled her master's cheek, her actions were returned with Naruko petting her muzzle.

"It's just frustrating to know that no matter where I go, idiots will exist."

"Ah! Temper," the fox spirit grinned, "without idiots, we would never have people who can think, remember that."

"Yeah sure…" Naruko's eyes shifted from her "pillow" to her travel sack, "share a drink with me? It'll help ease the headache."

"And return full force tomorrow morning, are you sure?" Ginzenko felt no need to be worried; she's done this so many times before in the past…ever since that dreaded day.

"You know me, I have seals that dull pain and some medicinal drinks that would help. Now how about that sake?"

Ginzenko sighed, first ramen now sake… "Yes milady," she shifted back to her human form and pulled out a small sake bottle and two saucers.

"Beautiful night to drink to, eh?" Naruko sat up and accepted her vermilion saucer, sipping it and enjoying the warmth the sake gave.

"Aye, it is Naru-chan."

Naruko watched the stars and the lights that danced in the sky, "I might or might not enjoy life here…whatever the case maybe, they won't ruin my stay here," her grin widened after another sip, "rather, I will provide them changes that will have their heads in a swirl of annoyance."

That concludes Chapter 3 of Vague Acceptance. I hope my readers can tolerate the down time for her right now, action starts much later like the next chapter where we get a glimpse of a few of her spells.

As for her skill with a blade…that will come when it's needed too, no worries. While you are reading this chapter and author note, I am working on my other story "Rudis Domino" in the Love Hina section.

Time to address questions and suggestions:

KitsuneNaru, I'm sorry to disappoint but there will be no Itachi-Naruko relationship. And on the matter of Naruko joining Team 7 is already ruled out as mentioned in the story:

Naruko doesn't exactly like ninja because of her past experience, thus becoming a ninja is the last thing on her mind.

Team 7 will have a random character added to their team. What ever happens to him or her…is up to my imagination (insert evil chuckle).

Also, about those OC Newbies as you called them, if you are referring to the shrine maidens of Konohana shrine or the Shikigami of Naruko then I'm sorry but they are important story characters. As for Kotetsu and Izumo or any of the named council members, they are pretty much real.

Ah…I reread the reviews and found something interesting: Pairings are the hottest topic among the questions.

To answer: I'll hint it in the story, but I won't say who is the actual leading man/lady for Naruko-chan. However, I have a surprise for you all at the end of the story…my only clue is it has something to do with dating sims.

jem1711, I'm glad you liked the change in atmosphere and I'm sorry the exorcism of the vagrant spirit was a bit of a let down. But the real action might come soon, I'll just see if I can weave it in right. Anyway, because of Hinata's appearance and friendship, the rookie 9 and team Gai will definitely appear.

recon12, glad your enjoying it and your review is rather interesting. I'm glad you pointed out being overpowered will be a bad thing and ruin the story. Anyway, despite being a little stronger than the graduating class, she will have her "I got my ass handed to me…badly" moments, no worries. The reasons for her chosen will be revealed in the story.

There won't be a time skip, sadly, because shippuden ruined Naruto for me…with their blasted long scenes and major non-sense (I still liked some parts, and I'm a bit sad that I won't stick long enough to watch the combination of team 8 and team Yamato). Too bad too, huh? I was planning an aerial dogfight with her and Deidara…really sad… And I mentioned it already; random character fills her spot on Team 7.

As for the character death, I already planned who it would be, why, how it happens, and what's Naruko's reaction. It will be proof that she isn't mentally strong as she thinks she is, that will be her "I got my ass handed to me" moment.

jedielfsorcerer, not a bad idea, I'll think about it but I don't think Hinata will fill the quota for a miko of Naruko's status. The reason will be explained why later in the next chapter.

As for others who wonder why I leave out some things in some chapters…I like leaving it to the audience to fill that gap in the story with theories.

Well, have a nice day to all of you and hold tight for the next chapter! It will feature a fight against an evil spirit, more of the characters we know, and a thorough explanation on why Naruto-verse kunoichi just can't be a Betsushikime Miko like Naruko.

Bye all!
