…Long time no see, eh? To be honest, I have no real excuse for you as to why I haven't updated. My interest just sort of drifted off…and I guess I forgot about it for a while. Anyway, I've decided to revise the story first before I post any new chapters. Don't expect any of the facts to be really different, but I'd like to make the writing more fluid. I also lengthened the beginning, so I've made it into a separate prologue. For any new readers, I hope you enjoy. For returning ones, just skim through if you'd like to refresh your memory.
Officially decided: NO PAIRINGS. I'm also deleting any ANs as I've discovered them to be very annoying. I've also decided to grow a backbone, so don't expect many more polls or anything requiring that much input. Of course, I'm always open for ideas and opinions.
With that done, on to the legal stuff. Then, happy reading!

THE TRININJA TOURNAMENT- PROLOGUE: I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP!
A ruffle of wings and soft hoot, accompanied shortly after with a scratch on the windowpane, was what disturbed the Hokage from her much sought after slumber.
Scratch.
"Ugh…"
Scratch. Scratch.
"Alright I'll be up…"
SCREEEEECH HOOOT!
"DAMMIT WHAT DOES A WOMAN HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME DECENT SLEEP HERE!" Tsunade leapt up from her sprawl over the desk with all hopes of sleep gone, and pissed off because of it. She glared at the offender, an owl sitting on the windowsill outside, obviously impatient to get in. After all, wouldn't you be tired after a 7000+ mile nonstop trip through several series of wards past at least 10 different time zones?
Sighing, the Fifth walked over and opened the window, letting the bird in. It promptly dropped off a single letter into Tsunade's waiting hands and flew off, probably to catch its lunch.
Tsunade sat back down at her desk and surveyed the letter in front of her. So he shows himself again after over twenty years…
After reading it through and reaching her decision, she yelled out "GET ANBU TEAM CAPTAINS 1 THROUGH 3 HERE NOW!"
On to chapter 1! Always feel free to review and send your opinions and/or suggestions.
