Hello there :D So, this is another chapter explaining things on questions you may or may not have. I'll probably do these after every serious chapter, or when I think about questions people might have. If you don't want to read it, skip it :P
1. Is Rue really dead?
Yes. Yes he is really dead people. Stop asking.
2. What's up with Mizure's weird dreams?
Well, these are memories that Mizure is receiving that she doesn't quite remember happening. More about that will be revealed later.
3. What's up with Tamake's bipolar relationship issues?
Tamake and Rue had the kind of relationship Naruto and Sasuke do, in the early stages. They understood each other better than anybody else, have more or less the same ideals, but are 'rivals'.
4. Why was Iratai acting different in the last chapter?
Iratai is one of those ninja with a lot of secrets. More than likely, the cheery act is just a facade. Not saying he isn't friendly, he is. He's just got a lot more emotions than happy is all.
5. What's Mizure's story? Why is she having these flashbacks, and why do they knock her out?
