Welcome dear unfortunate readers to my first "10th chapter"! To celebrate I've planned out…well somewhat solidified my ideas, just a tad, and I'm improving on some other things, hopefully. The so called "half turns" are going bye-bye and I'm changing the format as you can tell by the lack of the strategic shogi quote below, it is instead being replaced with a stanza from a poem I found on .com. More to come.

And at the end of this Turn I tried to address Reviews as a way of thanks and the fact I like to ramble!

For INTRUDER there's a lot of…well…Naruto VS more than one person-actually I've had to spit this Turn for this part in two cuz word length so the next part there will be more VS.

A GAME OF SHOGI/ TO START A WAR

The still quiet of the forest was only disturbed by the rush of numerous sets of feet, the loud beating of their hearts, and the noise of their labored breathing-loud from the hard run they'd been on for days.

"We're almost there!" A male's voice shouted between breaths, further breaking the forest's peaceful air as he leapt from one tree to swing on another's branch. His moves were perfectly aimed, yet swift in the darkness.

A female followed his lead in just as quick a descent. The metal plate adorned on her to which her village symbol was etched in to glistened in the sun light. Many blemishes and dents were also etched into the silver plate's surface-a testimony of battles encountered. Of battles fought, and of won. After their next encounter, more were not to follow.

Another figure smirked as he sped through on the ground, trampling any small thing that was unfortunate to be on the path under his feet-he wasn't known to have as graceful a finesse as the other two. "Those Akatsuki bastards are going to pay for what they've done."

And just as quickly as they came they left-leaving the forest silent once more and forever so. They would not be coming back this way again.

In fact-they would not even come back to their village, either, as shortly later on their fated path they'd meet with the blade that once belonged to a man who had the reputation of a demon and its current owner whose smile was identical to that of a shark discovering its prey that it would soon devour.

The branches ominously waved in the wind, as if waving goodbye having sensed their foreboding destination that was painted blood red by dawn's light.

No one that went through this way ever came back-it was a fact of life, as clear as day and night.

Turn 10: INTRUDER I-Whom to Trust

Pieces of Black

Koma of White

Minions of Darkness

Servants of Light

_-xXx-_

It happened last night, again. He, for the briefest moment, caught sight of her hugging her arms with such a feeling of insecurity hovering around her like an aura. She almost looked fragile. Scared, even. It was abnormal…

But the red-head just as quickly regained her usual squared expression and huffed at him when she noticed the young swordsman staring. "What do you want?" She barked, pushing her glasses up with her middle finger. The crimson glasses glinted in the candle light, hiding her red eyes from his sight. But he didn't need to see her eyes to read the fear that was there like an open book. He didn't like it. He couldn't explain it but seeing her so…scared? like this just nagged at him.

It didn't help matters he had also noticed she had broken out the last bottle of red wine-the most calming and soothing drink in the Akatsuki's Hideout. Whatever was bothering her apparently the tea and honey wasn't doing its job of offering a delicate veil of calmness.

"So…" Suigetsu began, ignoring Karin's angry stance-hand to hip- and the fact she had a bottle in her hand that could easily be used as a weapon and it would not be fun washing it out of his watery system should she attack. "What's the deal with you lately?"

In fact, now that he thought about it she, when not hovering around the rest of Taka or even the Jinchuuriki, kept following him around. She, no doubt, felt edgy here-being the lone girl and all. In her position he'd do the same thing. But...that wasn't what was bothering her. She was stronger than that.

"None of you business," the lone Uzumaki female snapped, then took a small sip of the dark liquid. "I just..." She couldn't even finish, she was so…was it disturbed? Again, seeing her like this made Suigetsu feel… What did he care anyway?

"Anyway, have you seen my nail file?" she asked, trying to change the subject. "I can't find it anywhere."

Suigetsu ignored the attempt of transition. "You sense bad chakra, don't you?" he asked bluntly. He felt something was off in the air, so maybe that had to be it. Being a sensory type she could feel everything-in fact, she was the best sensory type there was.

Her face grew pale as she nodded. It then seemed like she was about to fire a negative response to Suigetsu but he was being so serious for once so she held back from starting up pointless bickering. When she didn't say more Suigetsu racked his brain for anything to get her to expand more on this weird chakra.

"Is it Swirls?"

Swirls was Naruto's latest nickname. After taking Kisame on single-handedly and not being taken out in less than a minute, as Suigetsu had expected, he had earned the advancement from his original nickname of Kid.

His current nickname, Swirls, seemed perfect for him seeing how he was originally named after the white ramen ingredient, not to mention that was all he seemed to eat. Suigetsu had learned that the unfortunate way by finding his secrete stash of instant ramen that had been hidden in the deepest corner of the pantry all gone. When asking who the hell had touched his stash Sasuke had simply replied "Naruto." Suigetsu's original response had humorously been "who the hell is Naruto? OH! You mean the kid..."

Suigetsu shook his head, trying to put his focus back to his teammate.

"No," she said. "His chakra is bright but it's so weak now, faint. The Kyuubi's is sedated. The others have not changed. What I'm feeling…I can't exactly explain…I'm usually so sure, too." Her voice was calm, her eyes pointed down but perplexed. She took a small sip from the wine bottle-drawing out the tension in the air. "What I felt was…it's like an amalgamation of Orochimaru and Kabuto's chakra."

Suigetsu found himself cussing vociferously. No wonder Karin felt so uncomfortable. Not only was she constantly pressured by perverse chakra, the terrifying Kyuubi's, the freakishly ghostly Madara's, the unnatural Pains, but now the Snake! "What's that weirdo doing here!? This place has enough damn freaks!"

Karin's glasses glinted. "Excuse me?" she hissed. "What did you just say?!"

Oh crap!

"No!" Suigetsu squabbled, holding up his hands in attempt to defend himself. "I wasn't referring to you-I swear!"

But it was too late and the squabbling started once again. It was only broken when Karin abruptly stopped and hissed, "I sense foreign chakra approaching…"

Suigetsu smiled-looks like Akatsuki had a little bug problem to take care of...Finally time for some fun.

_-xxxxxxxxxxxxx-_

It was amazing what one could learn if they just took the time to read, digging through the boring material to reach and acquire the valuable knowledge that could be found buried deep in aged-stained scrolls. He must have looked through hundreds of such scrolls by now. The tedious reports from different villages regarding nothing but stock and regulations in general tempted to lull him to sleep but the information he found on sealing and other jutsu, a lot of which being basic seals that he should have paid attention to at the academy, in other scrolls was worth it. Especially the more interesting jutsu formulas that hadn't been taught at the academy.

Naruto carefully looked around him to make sure he was truly alone, save for Mamoru who was sitting on one of the shelves, before he bit his thumb and began copying a little of the text on an under layer of some of his bandages in the crimson liquid, as a way of saving the information so he could use it later. The writing wasn't perfect but he wasn't going to get caught trying to harbor different scrolls from the library. Again.

He had already been backhanded for destroying some of the scrolls as a way of disposing…certain text he did not wish the Akatsuki to continue to have in their arsenal-things he couldn't stand to read. Things he had felt a somber relief watching as the ripped pieces dissolved and went down the drain. It had been totally worth it, even though it had cost him another night.

It wasn't that he was not going to cause trouble, as the fox had accused him of, but rather he wasn't going to get caught. There were just things he felt he had to do-even if it risked digging himself deeper in the hole he was in. And getting rid of those scrolls was absolutely needed…

He rubbed his face remembering how quickly the Uchiha got onto him for the fact that he'd tried sabotaging Akatsuki property, though it was of little value in his opinion-else it would have been sealed, but the fact he did it earned him a strike. The so called hag could hit really hard, a lot harder than a hag should be able to-which just made Naruto even more doubtful about his true identity. You'd think "Madara" would have the pride to take off that damn mask the way he kept throwing out his high-and-mighty name…but he didn't….

So who the hell was this guy? All the Uchiha, besides Itachi and Sasuke, were killed during the massacre so whoever this guy was they had to have gone missing beforehand.

Naruto had originally started exploring the library for that very reason-he wanted to find some answer, some clue to who this guy could be. And he had found some basic reports on the Uchiha clan, mostly bits of information on dwellings and stock…but it was incomplete. Some of the names were missing.

Remembering Kakashi's friend, the demon from his past who taught him to not leave his friends behind-a life lesson that Naruto admired him for and took to heart-he'd looked for that name, Obito, and found nothing. The name had been completely removed. Odd. Which was a shame-he wanted to know more about this hero who hadn't left Kakashi's heart all these years….

Putting his ponderings to the side he continued to try to find anything that would be useful later. He had gone through the entire bottom shelf when Mamoru started pointing him to the top half. It kept squawking, its feathers ruffled and its sharingan eye pointed fixedly at some of the scrolls.

"Okay, okay," he told Itachi's crow. "I was heading there anyways." He groaned a little bit in complaint-time to climb as these shelves were friggen tall and stuffed to the brim with a variety of scrolls, most of which were sealed up. And even the ones that weren't sealed could even cause him trouble-he thought bitterly thinking of how he had gotten a nasty paper cut on one and watched in distaste as a blood drop landed on the floor….

He was about halfway up the shelf when one scroll tucked further back than the others caught his attention. Finding a secure foot holding, he rested his left elbow on one shelf and tried his best to reach for this scroll with his only good hand. Man, climbing with a broken wrist that rendered the limb almost useless was annoying. Feeling like he was about to lose balance he bit into the thin shelving in front of him for extra support. He almost had this sucker now-his fingertips brushed against it and…Got it!

He happily pulled it out and hopped down. The flimsy paper of the scroll was dusty and mostly worn out. Naruto carefully opened it, trying to remember how Sakura had instructed him how to deal with old scrolls that were in critical condition: take it slowly. He opened it and….

Was met with characters he couldn't even read-though they seemed familiar somehow and he couldn't understand why. Seeing the ancient scribbling he was baffled yet it felt like his gut was telling him that somewhere deep inside him he could understand it, way deep…What the heck was this?

Oh.

Naruto smiled mischievously. 'Oh, Kyuuuubiiiiii,' he said inwardly, drawing out the "i" for too long. 'You can read this, can't you?'

When the beast gave no response Naruto smiled, a little. So he was gonna ignore him, huh? 'Hm, I should have known you couldn't-you're just a stupid fox after all.'

The fox snarled, just as Naruto knew he would from the taunt. 'DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO THOSE STUPID ANIMALS!' The over-sized fox roared, it's voice booming off the walls of its confinement. 'PITIFUL STUPID CREATURES! Just like you humans! Of course I've the knowledge to understand your kind's pitiful scribbling! I've been around longer than you and your village, boy!'

Ever since Naruto's capture the fox had been a lot more chatty than it used to be. Sure they still hated and snapped at each other whenever they could but they were in this hole together. Kyuubi wanted to save his tails and Naruto his skin. The only way they were ever getting out of this mess was some kind of alliance which meant to have more patience with each other. Because of this their mental link had grown exponentially.

Naruto grinned, shaking his head. 'So you can read this? What's it say?'

'I do not answer to you, brat.'

Time to chat "in person". Naruto crossed his arms as he leaned against the sickly-yellowish bars within him and eyed the beast.

'Yes, you do. I'm the host, here. You're mine. And if you don't I could have that Masked-Guy suppress you more with his sharingan. Then I wouldn't have to listen to you growl all the time. I know how much you love him. Hell, I'm sure Sasuke would be more than willing to make sure you are kept back.'

The fox hissed in response. 'Then you'd damn us both, foolish boy. Over a stupid map.'

'So it's a map then?' Naruto asked, his grin growing wider. He never knew the fox could be so susceptible to a little jousting.

With its hair spiked, the beast roared.

Sensing his anger Naruto sighed. Resting his hand on his abdomen he found himself whispering, 'Can't you be a little nicer to me? I am the one who's going to free you…and the others…'

'Don't you dare pretend to patronize me,' was the fox's growled response. 'And don't speak such foolishness.'

Naruto shook his head. "I meant it…"

After a long silence the fox then mumbled something about the scroll having directions to some mask shop near Konoha. Naruto, grateful for the interesting information, thanked the fox.

It lowered its head in his huge arms. 'Don't thank me until you get there…odds are….' It closed its eyes, once again attempting to put up a sleeping façade. Seeing it do so through the bars Naruto felt bad for him, he could empathize with him to some degree but he didn't understand how he could just pretend to go to sleep like that. The fox was so quick to recede back to that pose….

'I swear on everything I am-you will be freed in the end so long as you promise not to hurt those who carry the Will of Fire in them. The other Bijuu, too. I don't know why you guys were created but I'm sure you weren't made to be used this way.'

The fox opened its eye, studying the blond carefully. Naruto, likewise, kept his eyes locked on his, a serious expression on his face. In the huge eye's reflection he could see a bruised and scraped up figure staring back at him. 'Trust me-you know I don't go back on my word.'

The moment between their gaze seemed to go on forever. It was almost heartfelt, the growing trust, or what Naruto hoped could become trust because they were, after all, stuck together and they might as well make the most of it. Naruto felt like maybe something inside the fox was finally beginning to open up….

'Naruto…'

'What?"

'Shut up.'

So much for that thought. Naruto rolled his eyes and brought his focus back to the towering shelf in front of him.

Climbing up once again, he noticed Mamoru pointing him towards something-it looked like a small box on one of the highest shelves. He carefully made his way to it out of curiosity, and ignored the comment the teme fox made about what curiosity could lead to.

Seeing how high he was now from the ground and knowing he didn't have chakra control to aid him he gulped. Just the site of the ground at this height made him dizzy. He bit his lip as he carefully reached for the old box, and tried to not look down. Getting a peek in it he gasped at what he saw. It was absolutely covered in what had to be the most dust he had ever seen accumulated in a single spot, years worth, yet he could make out an old torn picture. What was a picture doing in a place like this?

He began to pull the box out and lazily swatted at a fly while he was at it that seemed to be stalking him, when his foot slipped. ('told you so, fool!') He fell completely back-there was no chance of trying to grab a shelf to save himself. Panicking at the lack of chakra he cursed-the landing was gonna hurt like a sonuvabitch. He squeezed his eyes shut tight, bracing himself for the impact that was going to break bone at the very least.

Multiple things happened that he couldn't explain. One, he landed a lot sooner than he thought he should have. Two-feeling wise it felt like he had landed from a shorter fall than he actually had and three-something inside him felt funny. Funny enough that he heard the fox growl in response like a dog sensing someone at the door…And last, but not least, when he opened his eyes he yelped in a fright when he saw a knife come flying at him from the shelf…only to land millimeters from his eyes.

He swallowed loudly. That knife had landed way too freaking close for his liking.

"Hee…uh ha ha ha ha. I'm fine. See Kyuubi…" he said trying to stop shaking. "I'm…alright…and lookie-I finally found a knife!"

Opening his mouth was the worst mistake he could have made as the dust falling down not only assaulted him from his nasal passage but his mouth as well. It seemed to cloud the room completely, causing him to sneeze and cough a storm up. If no one had not noticed the noise of him falling they'd sure as hell notice the ruckus he was making with his coughing. He covered his nose and mouth with his shirt in attempt to suppress the fit and some of the dust.

After calming down he examined the strange knife, while wiping the dust off it. It was different from the usual kunai, it had three points, the middle being the main and longest, and the handle had seals written along it….It looked like the unique sort the Yondaime used. He remembered once in the Academy Iruka showing the class some of his blades when talking about the Hokage and his teleportation jutsu. Knowing how the Akatsuki liked to keep track of its enemies it probably was the Yondaime's.

"I hope Tou-chan got a better chance at whooping them than I ever did, "Naruto mumbled pocketing the blade. "That Uchiha bastard sure was quick to claim me as his son and when he looks at me I sense malice….I hope Pops rubbed that guys face in the dirt for attacking the village that night... Yeah. Now where's that picture I saw in that box?"

Ignoring some extremely nasty comments from the fox about the man who sealed him, he found that picture that had piqued his curiosity and after freeing it from its thick coat of dust he was surprised to see the torn picture had a girl on it and three other people but they were cut off. The girl looked like the same girl from Kakashi's picture-he recognized her by the distinguishable marks on her face that reminded him of Kiba…What was her name again?

"Hey Baa-chan…Kakashi's always looking at that grave…" He had once told Tsunade. "Why? Are they from his old team?"

The lady nodded. "Yes…Obito and Rin. Obito died tragically when a large boulder crashed into him after a battle during the war. He used his final moments to give Kakashi that sharingan eye…And Rin…she was kidnapped and died while Kakashi tried rescuing her…"

She took a sip from her bottle before continuing. "Kid…you don't know how lucky are to be born in a generation that don't know war. It scars you in ways…."

Her eyes had seemed distant when she said this but she was quick to try to hide it. "Just promise me you won't tell Kakashi what I just told you and never repeat their names either…He has big enough a burden of guilt than he cares to share so leave him alone…I mean…you can't even imagine how much it hurts for a friend to die right in front of you…."

Naruto had nodded.

Sighing, he rubbed his forefinger to the picture where the Leaf symbol was….The symbol the shinobi of Konoha fought and died for….the symbol he missed having protecting his forehead….

He pocketed the picture, too. A young girl didn't belong here just as much as the treasured Konoha artifact didn't…After calling Chibi Mamoru to perch on his shoulder he left. Too tired of all the dust to ponder why such a torn picture and rusty blade was hiding here, long forgotten by everyone else.

_-xXx-_

Outside he was met with commotion. Commotion he should have known he'd have to deal with at one point or another but now that it was here….He couldn't have been less prepared for it.

It first started when he was digging through the pantry for some food to harbor to Deidara's old room. He groaned at the fact they were beginning to run out and if no one went out to get any more they'd have a hungry Jinchuuriki on their hands and they didn't want that. Now that he stopped to think about it he'd only ever seen Taka members eat...Was any of the original Akatsuki members even human? Ug. Or maybe they were ate strictly in private or something.

While grabbing a bag of chips he heard Suigetsu exclaim something, excitement clear in his voice. Wondering what had him so happy Naruto went to investigate-from the sounds of it he was in the central area where the exit was.

Turns out Naruto's estimate was dead on.

Suigetsu was heading towards the boulder blocking the entrance with a slick giddy smile on his face. Juugo was standing to the side, his eyes down.

Naruto knew that expression. It was the look he caught Juugo eyeing him with on more than one occasion. It was guilt.

Something was up.

"What's going on, Shark-teeth?" Naruto asked crossing his arms. Suigetsu hefted Zabuza's blade up to his shoulder, his grin now exposing sharp teeth underneath. "Karin senses some intruders nearby-I was, ya know, just gonna deal with them, Swirls. No big deal."

Naruto felt his heart stop beating. His fingers loosened the bag of chips till they fell, completely forgotten.

Intruders? Had Konoha finally found him?! He felt hope rise within him at the joyous news and the chance of being rescued from this actually-not-that-bad-of-a-hell-hole. But then the hope dropped faster than you could say 'crap' as he saw Suigetsu heading towards the exit again with that over-sized blade.

'I was, ya know, just gonna deal with them…' the words echoed in his head.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Naruto screamed. "They could be from Konoha!"

Suigetsu turned around slowly to face the Jinchuuriki. "So?"

"So you can't touch them!"

Suigetsu sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "Look Swirls, I was told to deal with intruders-and I'm glad to…" He looked Naruto dead on with his violet eyes. "That's who I am Naruto. I'm the type of guy who likes kill once in a while and I'd rather be the one to take out intruders for the Akatsuki than Juugo-"

"NO! You can't!" In a flash Naruto had grabbed Suigetsu by his shirt and held the purple fabric tightly in balled fist. "You. Will. Not. Touch. Konoha!" His eyes were beginning to shift to crimson but for the good that was in Taka, Juugo…and the others-he didn't want to lose control on them-he fought back. Once his eyes were normal he continued. "That's the deal."

Suigetsu peeled Naruto's fist from him scowling. "Come on…you really need to stop. There's no such deal. An intruder's an intruder. Besides-you don't know if they're from Konoha. What if they're not? I'd be missing out for no good reason-please, BORING."

"BUT WHAT IF THEY ARE!?" He yelled, too furious to control his volume. "Huh, Suigetsu?! What if they are!? They're all I got left! I won't lose them! Lead them away if you have to-just don't' KILL them you sick bastard!"

Suigetsu sighed. "Juugo! Take care of this brat will you."

"NO! I'm not gonna let you!" Naruto screamed. He looked to Juugo for help but the big guy just shook his head. "I'm sorry, Naruto but can you please just…stop for your own good."

"Yeah, Juugo's right. You really don't want to do this, man."

Words wouldn't get him anywhere with the swordsman. Suigetsu was a guy who preferred action over the talk. He wanted action? Fine! Naruto would give it to him!

Naruto reached into his pocket for the powdery dry clay crumbs he'd grinded himself for this very purpose should the opportunity rise and threw it into Suigetsu's eyes, knowing full in well the dust would irritate them and the fact a strait up punch wouldn't work with his jutsu. Suigetsu squealed, and starting to attempt to get the stuff out of his eyes his hands loosened on his grip on the blade just as Naruto had hoped.

"You brat! What'd you just throw in my eyes-UG!" he screeched with a line of curses.

Naruto didn't take the time to answer, he instead quickly while head bashing his exposed forehead sent his knee towards Suigetsu's groin while reaching for the blade with his right hand. Suigetsu, even with his eyes severely irritated, prepared himself for the low shot by shifting to a watery form. Naruto grinned, the blade now fully out of Suigetsu's grip and in his.

Now to swing it and DAMN-it was heavy! He swung the heavy blade to the best of his abilities, his muscles screaming in protest, but he ignored the pain and fought back, but the tip only merely skidded across the ground in a wide arch-summoning up small sparks as it did so.

Suigetsu hissed, as he reappeared in his normal form. "You're going to freaking SCRATCH it! I'll seriously KILL you if you don't stop it!"

Naruto ignored him and with a defiant roar attempted to swing the blade at him again, with the aid of his fast speed. It barely made it off the ground but with a fast spin he nearly slammed the blade into Suigetsu.

"That's not how it's supposed to be used dumb-ass! Man, stop doing that! You're disgracing the blade!"

Naruto snarled, "And you're not supposed to use it against my people! If Zabuza was alive he'd agree with me!"

"You kidding me! That demon! He'd cut you to shreds!"

The bird squeezed his shoulder signaling to him Suigetsu was about to attack from the left. Naruto ducked to the right, scraping the blade along the ground in the process which only made the attacking Taka member more furious.

Suigetsu, again, tried to land a hit but with Mamoru signaling to Naruto where he was coming from he missed every time. And each time he did Naruto sent the blade in the direction he was about to attack next-that damn sharingan!

Naruto almost smirked… before his blood ran cold at the sound of an all too familiar voice.

"Suigetsu! Get away from him!"

Suigetsu hopped back-and just in time.

Naruto's eyes went wide in horror as Chibi Mamoru flew from his shoulder-signaling to him that the next attack wasn't going to be something he could duck from but rather…it was going to be an assault from the ground.

He immediately tried dropping the huge electricity conductor from his hand but it was too late.

The world exploded in front of him in a painful blast of cackling white, preceded only by the harsh howl of "CHIDORI STREAM!"

NEXT TIME: INTRUDER II! The newly forge friendship with Suigetsu threatens to split and older ones seem to want crumble completely while a strange new bond seems to be forge from an unexpected place.

Pain's chastisement is the least of Naruto's problems, as Obito decides to fish for up-to-date information on Konoha from its most loyal resident….Meanwhile a team from Konoha discovers something shockingly good for once….

REVIEW FEEDBACK (no particular order)

KingofHeartless'09-

I can't recall any scenes where Nagato showed any interest in Sasuke-at least more than mentioning him in a meeting so I can't say there will be any words between them in this story. It's just it's going to get to the point where Madara and Pain become even more divided and Sasuke is supposed to be Madara's Pawn…While on the other hand Naruto is the one interacting the most with Pain.

Akatsuki Reborn-

Hopefully I will do okay with Pain and Naruto interaction in the next part-and I will begin bringing up the fact he's still head of Ame.

Picaso-

Sasuke, in this story, hasn't gotten to the point of overusing his ridiculous draining sharingan attacks and I've, at the moment, don't have any of those breaking points planned…I don't have plans for him to take Itachi's eyes either, but something will have to be done about his impending blindness and those eyes…

(Arch The Ripper ^ above point applies to your comment too)

I can't say I really do OCs a lot and I don't have any planned-only Chibi Mamoru. War is inevitable. And yes Kabuto is so incoming-I can't guarantee Orochimaru.

And no Football theme. 1-I don't know a Quarterback from a Punt and 2-it just would be extremely unfitting lol.

InflatedChimp-

Thank you and as for the Turns, I just put kinda random pieces in because I like to use different themes for my fics. Like my Black Butler one I use a Latin word for an overall subject or in my Bleach TWEWY crossover I use song titles from the OST. This fic I just used game pieces. It's just something weird I do-like I have chapters called "act", "actus", "turn", "scene"-it just depends the story and the main title followed by subtitle. I just like naming things.

Though I tried to make quotes relevant to things that happened for that chapter with this story.

Bored321

Thank you for the most numerous and longest reviews-they help bunches. I try to improve on points you bring up.

Danzo, after the next chapter or so will come to light more-he's of course evil in Naruto and Sasuke's eyes but for the protection of the village he'll do anything-such as attack Ame when Konoha isn't exactly prepared or in shape to having just been destroyed and all. Um, I'm working on other points too, I hope.

Um, there's a lot I could talk about but I think I need to shuddup already ^.^

SEEYA! Feedback appreciated!
