WARNING! Naruto chapter 515 spoilers!
Okay, seriously, what the hell.
Undead Zabuza, or as I've been calling him, Zombieza, is...I... what is this I don't even. Don't get me started on Zombie Haku. Oh god, poor Haku.
So, basically that one thing from that one Naruto video game is cannon now (Was it ultimate ninja 2? I think it was).
Anyway, it's certainly been... a while since Ive updated. Essentially what happened is that while about 2/3 of the way through the next chapter, my computer died. We got it fixed, but some files (a lot of my writing) had disappeared, that chapter included. So, I rewrote it. It didn't feel as good the second time, so I kept restarting. It died again, and AGAIN I lost the file. And basically by the time I got the computer back, the manga had gone nuts, and I pretty much get the impression that my own interpretation of Kirigakure was kind of off the mark.
In general, the earier sections of this story haven't been sitting well with me. My grammar was terrrible, and I think I'd do things differently now, if I were to restart. I've been considering this, keeping some of the recent mist-related manga developments in mind.
But at the same time, if my predictions about the cougarkage (I can't remember her name xD; Godaime Mizukage) are right, it might be hard for me to do that. I mean, I still could, it would probably be better sans-pairing xD See, my theory (and I want to post this now just for fun xD let's see if I'm right) is that Godaime and Zabuza had a thing. She hates men, and that's probably going to be elaborated on if it isn't just a characterization red herring. I'm guessing that either she's pissed because he tried to murder her (seemes unlikely giving the timing. If Yondaime-kid was the whatever-tails he would have been alive until recently) or pissed that he tried to kill yondy-kid and then ran off without her. Given that she's now Mizukage, it's not impossible that she had similar if not coinciding overthrowey ambitions.
Why do I think they're a pairing? Mei (right xD that was her name, Mei) is the right age, and has that whole RAWR AT MEN thing going on without any explanation, and random mist guy is now back from the dead.
Also, I'm pretty sure Kisame would have been Kotone's boss xD this makes me lol.
So, long story short, I think I'm going to wait until the manga calms down before deicding how to contnue with this. Thanks guys 3
