December 7th-

While Anko and I contemplate getting Shimanu and Suzuki together, I have decided to take the day for myself to think in peace and enjoy Konoha.

I decided to go to the Academy, and see how the new generation of shinobi were doing. To look through their eyes and see this new world that they will be graduating into too.

I followed that up by going to the local cinema, and sitting in on a small comedy made in the Land of Fire capital. It was about a young shinobi falling in love with a beautiful noble girl with a dark past, and how he must fight her seven former lovers who have come together to ruin her future love life as the leader, a high ranking noble himself, wishes to have her back by his side. The young shinobi is not noble however, as he had a lover that he casted away for this noble girl. It ended with him learning the error of his ways and finding a new future with the noble girl. I really liked the film a lot.

I took a trip to the hot springs, where the vapors of the water had some effect on my form not too dissimilar to a real trip to the hot springs. I fully enjoyed both sides of the springs experience.

I went to my favorite restaurant, and tried my best to scrounge up a dish of herring soba to eat. It didn't work, but it is the effort that counts.

My night was cut short by seeing Shino's kikaichu, but enough time had passed so that I had formulated a plan in my head, a plan I hope Anko agrees with.

We simply need to get Suzuki to notice Shimanu and see he would be interested. With that, she would leave Gai for a more sane choice. Simple. Everyone will end up happy (or at least not in a miserable fate.)
