Me?

I've got the toughest job in the world: a mother, everything else I do is a side job.

Reading and gardening are the constant hobbies in my life. There are times when I play, from simple card game to console-based and online games, preferably Adventure RPG kinda game.

Some of my favourite games are: Valkyrie Profile 1, Final Fantasies, Three Kingdoms, Harvest Moon, Kingdom Hearts, Brigandine, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Gaia, Fire Emblems, Yggdra Union, Breath of Fire IV, The Sims 1 & Sim City, AoE I & II, Heroes of Might and Magic IV, Shuikoden 2, Legend of Mana, and I forgot the rest :D

I've been reading comics and manga and watching anime for more than three quarter of my life, and I have a lot of favourites. Popcorn by Youko Shoji is an all time favourite. Nowadays I've been dragged to read and watch Naruto--and a whole lot of other recent mangas--(and its variant) by my 9 years old boy.

My reading material, among others are: Shakespeare and friends (hey, I took English Literature, what do you expect?), Mythology, folklore and folk tales, local classics, J.R.R Tolkien's, Harry Potters series, Eragon series, Septimus Heaps, Enyd Blyton's...basically anything I can get my hands on.

Fan fiction related, I'm shipping KakaNaru/KakaFemNaru--they're manga-proof-- (I'm limiting my reading material here to Naruto fan fiction only, since I'm easily addicted in reading all the time :P)

Am alive!

Still working on the next chapter of R:TtRnT.

So, I found out that hearing 'newborn niece' and 'lung infection' in the same sentence was a total moodkiller. And I'm not good on picking up a half finished job, so I had to start typing chapter 5 all over again.

I planned to have it published last week, but alas, I forgot the custom of visiting newborn in my country. Since we had about 300 or so relatives living in the same city, I've been totally locked up in the kitchen. I couldn't really go home and hide, since my siblings and I are kinda neighbours, so yeah. Thank god they didn't come all at once!

I was bedridden last week as the result :(

3/12/14

I'm not dead yet! But my modem did, so yeah... I've got a new one so I'm finishing chapter 6 and 7 of R:TtRnT as of now... bear with me!

So the manga has come to an end, and honestly... it's a BIG and I mean MASSIVE disappointment... Where's the page with Kakashi's face... UNMASKED? I mean... I bore with the BS' and asspulls and plot shields and god knows what else for a couple of hundreds chapters in the hope of getting to see what's behind the mask, but did it happen? NO! Instead we got an impossible Kakashi's Susano'o (granted, it's way cooler than Sasuke's as Naruto had it but, still...), a gone to heaven Obito and Rin (seriously, torturing your so called best friend and crush for a lifetime and they'd gone to heaven? Not to mention the people of at least two countries that died due to their "deaths"... the deaths of thousands of Konoha and Kiri's citizen are on their heads! and those were innocent people, they're not at war!) x*#$!*&@!

And how's exactly beating your so-called best friend until you're both black and blue (and missing an arm, each) can be called "Love is the Key", really? Tough love? Meh...

Not to mention the whole mess was actually caused by Hagoromo's bad parenting...*sigh*

And fangirling-based relationships could work? Doesn't anybody read psychology anymore? There's a prime example of that kind of relationships in Christie's "The Hollow" people. And no, I'm not mad because Kakanaru is not the final pairings because the manga is rated "K" and I wouldn't dream to let my son continue reading the manga if it were -he's still 10, but the story's conclusions would've been a lot better if it didn't end in a fairy tales' style, you know, "...and they lived happily ever after... The End." A scene where everybody went back to their villages and restart their life with a renewed outlook would be perfect, I think.

No explanations of several questionable decisions from the Sandaime either...*sigh*

1. Minato never told Hiruzen to announce Naruto's status as the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki, so why did he? (Might just a matter of lost in translations, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

2. What exactly did his opinion about the whole "the fall of the White Fang" tragedy? What did he say to someone who follow his teachings but had to take the fall, really?

3. What exactly did he do to ensure Naruto's happiness during the boy's childhood? He's the Hokage, he should've done something.

But alas, I'm no Kishi and am not working at the publisher either, so I guess I'll just vent my frustration here and create my own endings.

Right, these are several story ideas that I had in mind. I may or may not follow through with it, but I'd rather put the ideas here and revisited them later

1. Prowling Wolf, Bouncing Fox

- In which Kakashi used his genius brain and take care of 7 years Naruto the best he could between back-to-back ANBU missions while tip-toeing around the Sandaime and his Advisors. He'd got help from the Yondaime's Elite Guards after a while. Naruto wouldn't be adopted or even living permanently with Kakashi, Genma, Raidou, Iwashi. He'd be smarter and better trained, but Naruto's no genius and I wouldn't make him into one. Iruka wouldn't be a precious person because let's admit it, aside from the lips service of sweet nothings and the ramen treats, what did Iruka do to help Naruto's trainings and educations, really? Naruto would join the ANBU, but only after Tsunade's made the Godaime. (I always wonder why Kakashi seemed to be more relaxed after the Sandaime's death even with Orochimaru and the Akatsuki's threat in the horizon). Might turn into Kakanaru Yaoi later on (around Shippudden's timeline).

2. The Silver Fangs and the Golden Claws

- Inspired by Prince Mikhail's "Little Things". I really, really want to read a BAMF version of established Kakanaru, not necessarily "Flee on Sight" style, but more of "Approach with Caution" type of BAMF. Might bend one of their gender or not just for the heck of it, but seriously, Kakashley is hot! The background would be around Inari the Goddess' myth. May or may not cripple the Sharingan. Kakashi would be wielding a pair of silvery kodachi and Naruto would be wielding a pair of golden sai.

3. From Beyond the Death's Door

- Four years before the canon starts, Touji Mizuki (Evil Sensei!) made his first contact with Orochimaru and somehow got his hands on the Snake's note on Edo Tensei, complete with the speculation about the Shinigami's mask on the Uzumaki's Shrine. Thinking he'd gain more favour if he resurrected the Yondaime than merely stealing the Forbidden Scroll, the moron did just that. He performed the Edo Tensei on the Yondaime, succeeded and ordered the Yondaime to kill Naruto, but since he didn't have the control seal and Minato's will was greater than Mizuki's, it backfired and Minato killed Mizuki instead. Unable to return to the afterlife since his summoner was dead, the Yondaime sneaked into Konoha to check on things. Unhappy with the condition he found his son was in, he played cloak and dagger within his own village. NOT the Yondaime trashing Konoha story, more like making Naruto's life easier kinda thing.

4. A Kakashi's time travel, but haven't come up with a proper background, aside from Inari the Goddess' myth. Or have him died and become an Einherjar and later being released...

5. Older Naruto story. 3 yr older: Take into account the fact that Naruto failed the exams 3 times, or born 5-6 years earlier but still a Jinchuuriki. Otherwise a semi crossover where 7-8 years Naruto was stranded in FF (Tactic Advance or FF IX) verse for a couple of years before he found his way home to Konoha. He wouldn't do much in the stranded world aside from learning something about survival and thievery. Greyish Naruto kinda story.

Besides number 2, all would be very likely end up as Kakanaru, Iruka would be just an Academy Sensei, there won't be any Uchiha Rival, or creepy stalker who like to watch Naruto being bullied or pre-teen boy crush.
