And we're back! I finished chapter 3. Had some more ideas as well. Looking forward for when the story picks up.
It really helps me relax and work when I have music going in the background. Thank god for spotify, huh. If only they would fix those stupid playback issues when it isn't on your phone, it would be perfect. It is super annoying to be listening to music, when suddenly it stops because it needs to buffer or something. I mean come on... I eventually gave up and started watching some Naruto movies off to the side. Been a while since I've seen the older ones. I couldn't even remember much of the plot for the crescent moon one.
JCB72: I would like to think what I have in mind is reasonable...But we'll see.
amarsh55: The neglect being realistic is something that has always bugged me as well in some other stories. Some of them just plain didn't make any sense. I'm hoping that you will agree with me that what I have makes sense. As for power progression...I'm of course not going to make him a god, and I agree that him in cannon was kind of pathetic. It works for cannon, but this isn't cannon, so I will fix that.
Some more things from Kingdom Hearts will begin to appear in next chapter. Little stuff at first, but then it will increase. If not by chapter 5, then the one after that...hopefully. It all depends on how it goes. That's what I currently have planned, at least.
Any ways, on with the story!

Scene Change: Insert Place Here
Two Months Later
A certain spiky silver haired teenager was walking down the street on the way to his teacher's house. He was arriving at a satisfactory hour and a half late and was now taking his time to reflect on what has transpired around the village in the aftermath of the Kyūbi attack.
Reconstruction was still going on in various parts of the village, but progress was being made. Following the deaths of hundreds of people, there were mass funerals being held, with many of them being for more than one person, or being held back to back. Those days, and the ones that immediately followed, were the toughest. The entire village was grieving for lost friends and family.
The economy of the village was temporarily stunted as many of the stores were crushed in the attack. Following this, a great number of stands went up in front of the ruined businesses in an attempt to keep the business going until the buildings could be rebuilt. On the bright side, the village's construction industry has been getting a lot of business. Everyone seemed to be in need of the construction companies to come in and rebuild something.
On a more individual level, people were still slightly bitter from the attack. But the scale of the bitterness was nowhere near the level that it was at first. Kakashi didn't have many more feelings of unease about the tension in the village. Especially on the level that it reached for a short time during the village wide announcement two months ago. There was not even any of the previous hostility anymore.
The Fourth Hokage's words really made the difference in reassuring people that they were safe and the children were, in fact, not the Kyūbi. There were even some small talks of the three of them being heroes for holding the Kyūbi. This helped greatly in setting the new parents at ease. Otherwise, they would not feel safe allowing their children to go anywhere in the village. They could not always be there to shadow their kids.
Kakashi nodded back as a shinobi called out greetings to him from across the street. Going back to his thoughts, Kakashi pondered about what he has been getting up to in the past two months. Like he and Gai talked about, they were needed to help reconstruct the village. Although it wasn't that often that they were called in to do that. Those missions went to the genin teams.
So when they weren't called off to do border patrol or something of a similar nature, the two of them would help out around the village. But to Gai's great consternation, Kakashi was always late to get to the places they agreed to meet at. Kakashi didn't know why Gai didn't see that coming yet. Or maybe he did, and was simply playing along. Ah, he got off track again. By far, the place that needed the most work was the ground zero of the attack. The destruction and death that went on there…It was immense.
Kakashi shook his head to clear it of such depressing thoughts, wishing again that he had something else to keep his mind occupied. 'I really should look into finding a good book to read…Mah, I'll worry about that another time.' He saw that he was getting close to his destination.
The Uzumaki-Namikaze compound was by no means the biggest compound, especially with other ones out there like the Uchiha compound. That thing was like a miniature town. It was simply a big house with a wide front yard and a large training ground in the back. But that was perfectly fine with Minato and Kushina.
The house was a nice, family oriented house. It was no mansion, but it was still fit for it to be the home of the Fourth Hokage. There were plenty of rooms, enough for each of the kids to not need to share one, complete with guest rooms and a nursery. The nursery was only a recent addition that Kakashi and Minato were commissioned to put together.
Kakashi walked up to the font gate and pressed his hand in the seal that was over the lock. He then pushed his chakra into it to let himself in. He was hesitant at first to do so, but after great insistence, he began to treat this place like a second home. Things would get ugly really quickly if he skipped this step, and he was in no mood to set off traps and to be treated like a hostile. Pushing past the gate, he noted how serene and pleasant the house always looked. It was a good house for a family, and he was happy that his teacher finally got the family that he always said he wanted. Kakashi smiled to himself. Truly, peaceful times were ahea-
"MINATO! WHERE ARE THOSE RATTLES?!"
Ah, strike that notion.
"Right here!"
"AND THE BABY FOOD!"
"I'm on it!"
"AND DON'T YOU DARE FORGET THE DIAPERS-TTEBANE!"
"Of course I won't!"
Kakashi simply watched as Kushina ordered Minato around the house to fetch the various items. Minato was running from room to room, and looking increasingly haggard all the while. Eventually, resorted to using the Flying Thunder God to get around, teleporting to the numerous markers he has placed around the house.
Once there was a brief reprieve, he finally noticed that Kakashi had decided to show up at last. Used to his student's habits on never being on time, he simply smiled and walked up to him, allowing Kakashi to get a good look at Minato's current condition.
Minato was wearing his normal blue shinobi outfit, but it was not as neat as it usually was, as if Minato couldn't keep up with keeping it so. He also had a few bags under his eyes, and looked extremely tired. But despite all this, he wore a bright and sunny smile the entire time.
"Kakashi! Finally decided to show up, huh?" He shot his student a look of fond exasperation.
"Mah…There were extenuating circumstances surrounding the reason why I was late this time…"
"Oh yeah?" Kakashi nodded. "Ok then. I'll bite, what are they?"
"What are what?"
"The 'extenuating circumstances' that were the reason."
"Reason for what?"
"The reason that you were-" Minato simply sighed. "Never mind…" Hearing this, Kakashi just eye smiled.
"Did I hear Kakashi-kun?" Came Kushina's voice from the next room over.
"Yeah, he just got here." Minato answered back.
"Good, Kakashi-kun, come over here. I need to talk to you about something." Kakashi sent an inquisitive look to his teacher who simply shrugged and shook his head.
"Ok…" Kakashi headed over to the next room where Kushina was. Seeing her, Kakashi noted that she was back to wearing her normal outfit that consisted of a high-collared, sleeveless blouse that she had on under a long, loose-fitting green dress. She also had on black shinobi sandals and a black wrist band on the left wrist. Walking up to her as she was sitting on the couch, he noted that she had Narumi in her lap and was feeding her with a bottle. "What did you need?"
Kushina looked up and saw him come closer. She got up, calmly placed Narumi in the nearby crib with the bottle on the table text to it. She then slowly walked up to Kakashi with a smile on her face and her eyes were closed.
Kakashi tilted his head in confusion and was about to open his mouth to ask another question. When he suddenly froze as he saw her hair was starting to fly behind her. He broke out into a nervous sweat, and opened his mouth to apologize for whatever he did. But before he got the chance, he was sent flying into the opposite wall thanks to Kushina's fist.
"Next time you're late, at least have the effort to come up with some kind of excuse! I heard that one all the way over here! I overlook it most of the time because I hope you will grow out of the habit, but that is too much-ttebane!" She was standing over his body with a dark look on her face and an even darker aura about her.
Kakashi groaned as he heard this and nodded his head. Seeing this, Kushina's entire demeanor instantly changed and her smile became a lot more real. "Good!" She chirped, and walked over to tend to her children again.
Minato chuckled at the scene, and walked over to Kakashi who was only pulling himself up now. "You completely deserved that."
"I know."
"Will it happen again?"
"Of course."
With a huff of amusement, Minato followed after Kushina, Kakashi a step behind him.
"So what did you call me over for? To help with the kids again? You want me to summon my pack like last time?" Kakashi was curious as to just for what reason he was called to the Uzumaki-Namikaze home.
"That's it, yeah. Naruto especially has a great time whenever you come by." It was at that time that they heard a baby's squeal of glee. They turned to the sight of a Naruto sitting up in his crib, in an attempt to get to Kakashi.
"Hey there, pup." Kakashi smiled as he saw this and walked over to him. When he got close, he picked Naruto up. During the first month, Kakashi was scared witless at the prospect of getting anywhere near any of the three kids, but after being forced to by Minato and Kushina, he was rapidly growing used to it. "How are you doing today, Naruto?"
Naruto just giggled and pat him on the cheek. "That well, huh?" This sight caused Minato and Kushina to smile, relieved that Kakashi was finally showing true signs of moving on with his life after everything that has happened.
Kakashi seemed to truly let down his guard when he was around the kids. That was something only before seen when he was with Gai. Both Minato and Kushina noticed this, and were extremely happy about this shift in attitude in Kakashi. It was a major reason for why they had been repeatedly calling him over to help them with the kids over the last two months. They both thought that this was a very healthy thing for him. They had both seen what happens to shinobi who let the past consume them. Anything that helped him move on was welcome.
Getting free help with the kids from someone they could explicitly trust was an added bonus.
They spent the next couple of minutes simply chatting and playing with Naruto. Narumi was just put down for her nap, and Menma was sound asleep. Their talk was interrupted by a baby's cry. Or at least, Menma was sound asleep.
Hearing this, Kushina swiftly moved over to Menma's crib and picked him up. "Aww, what's wrong sweetie?" She cooed. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a specific smell permeating from the baby. "Oh, I see. Do you want your diaper changed?"
Both Minato and Kakashi heard this and immediately froze in place. They shot each other a nervous glance, before slowly heading for the door. "Oh, boys…" An ominous sounding voice called out to them. "And just where do you think you're going?" The voice questioned. Their distress grew to new heights when they saw the dark aura come back and her hair starting to raise.
"Nowhere, honey. We're right here…"
"We aren't going anywhere, Kushina-senpai…"
They silently cursed their luck as she knew that they had just tried to make an escape. That wasn't the thing that always threw them for a loop though…
She could have her back turned, and still always knew when they tried to run.
"Good, good. Of course you weren't, how silly of me…" They both chuckled, but if you paid close attention, there was no humor in their laughs. "Decide amongst yourselves who will change Menma-chan. I don't care which of you does it, just get it done." She put Menma down onto the area they have been changing the diapers in, and left towards the kitchen to check on the bottle that was being heated.
Minato and Kakashi watched her leave. Once she was gone, the two of them simply stood there in silence. The tension was building, and it seemed like the silence would stretch on forever. Naruto simply watched curiously from his position in the crib, Kakashi having placed him back in it.
The tension continued to build, and it seemed like a fight could break out at any moment. And then at once, the tension snapped!
"Not it!" "Not it!" The two of them both struck at once. Their fingers touching the tips of their noses at speeds where only a jounin could follow. While Minato is known as the yellow flash, the man who's speed is only rivaled by Kumo's A, this was enough motivation for Kakashi to find newfound speed to match him.
The two of them stared at each other, willing the other to stand down. The silence was broken by Minato. "The usual method then?"
Kakashi solemnly nodded. "Yeah, that should do it."
Minato nodded as well. "No hard feelings no matter who wins."
"Agreed. On the count of three?"
Minato nodded then started. "One." He brought his fist back. "And no sharingan!" Kakashi cursed in his head and pulled his hand away from his headband.
"Two." Kakashi assumed a similar position to the one Minato was in.
"Three!" They yelled together, the both of them bringing their fist forward.
Silence ensued.
"Yes!" Minato cheered.
"No!" Kakashi dropped to his knees." Minato's hand had his index and middle finger extended, while Kakashi had all of his fingers extended. "Two out of three!"
He was quickly shot down by Minato. "No way! You know the rules! One round of rock-paper-scissors, winner take all! You lost, so I take all. You didn't show me any mercy the last time we did this and you won, so no way would I show you mercy."
Kakashi was still lamenting his fate. "Dammit all…"
Kushina had come back right before the conclusion to the argument. She had a deadpan face on. "You're both idiots-ttebane." They chose to keep whatever dignity they had left and not respond to this statement. "Whatever, get on in, Kakashi-kun. Menma-chan still needs his diaper changed."
Kakashi sighed, but got up. Minato placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Hey, buck up. It could be worse."
Kakashi glared at him. "How?"
"There could be two dirty diapers." It was at that moment that Naruto started crying. Naruto was a baby who rarely cried. Only doing so when he was either hungry, or needed his diaper changed. So because he only ate a little while ago, this could only mean…
Kushina looked to her husband, deadpan still in full effect. "Because you jinxed it, you're cleaning him up." This caused Minato to adopt the same look he got whenever a new batch of paperwork was brought into his office. The look of true despair.
Kakashi gave him a smug look. "Hey, buck up." This remark did not earn him any points with Minato.
Ten Minutes Later
Both Minato and Kakashi were slouching on the couch, seemingly dead tired. Kushina walked by without even sparing them a glance. "You're both pathetic-ttebane." All she got in return were two groans. She shook her head with a small smile gracing her lips. She opened her mouth to speak again but before she could there was an explosion of smoke in the middle of the room.
Instantly, the shinobi of the room were put on guard and sprang into defensive positions with Kushina getting in between the potential hostile and her children. "Who are you?!" Minato called, but when no response came, they tensed. Ready to either attack or defend as needed. But before the smoke was completely cleared, something happened.
Kabuki music started to play throughout the room, and the smoke began to clear to show the form of a very large man. He had waist-length, spiky white hair tied into a pony tail, with two bangs framing his face all the way down past his shoulders. He had two red marks running from his eyes and a wart on the left side of his nose. Instead of the traditional headband, he chose to wear a horned one that had the kanji for "oil" on his head. He had on a green short kimono shirt with pants that matched. There were mesh armor showing from under his pants and shirt. He had on hand guards, a black belt, and old-style getas. On his left palm was a strange tattoo. His outfit was completed with a red haori that had two yellow circles on each side and a giant scroll on his back.
"So you wish to know who I am, huh? I thought you had already knew…but I suppose I can introduce myself to you all again…" He began to hop to the side on one foot. "The title 'toad sage' is merely an alias." He brought the foot that was in the air down in front of him. "I shall tell you my true identity…" He waved his head in circles, causing his hair to do the same. "I am the man who has enemies in the North, South, East, and West…" He threw the scroll up into the air, caught it, and brought his other hand before him in a hand sign. "Even in the heavens! I am one of the sannin…" He quickly summoned an oversized toad below him and made another pose. "White haired toad tamer… Even a crying baby would stop and stare in awe…" He spun around. "I am…Jirai-" WHAM! He lost consciousness for a moment.
His introduction was cut off right before the conclusion thanks to Kushina sending him flying via chakra punch to the face. "YOU MORON! DOES THAT LOOK LIKE BABIES WHO AREN'T CRYING TO YOU?!" She pointed over to her two younger children who began to cry from all the noise he had made. Naruto was starting to tear up as well. Kushina was in full habanero mode.
The toad sage was swiftly attempting to protect himself from the irate woman. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It won't happen again! I swear!" Even after living through wars, Jiraiya was still utterly terrified by an angry Kushina or Tsunade.
"It better not! Or I will make it so you are missing some important parts that you would need to go to those damn brothels and have a 'good time,' or whatever you call it-ttebane!" she looked disgusted even as she said it.
At this threat, the rest of the color drained from Jiraiya's face and he looked even more terrified of the woman before him.
"Jiraiya-sensei…" Minato sighed at his teacher's antics. Some things never changed. And that wasn't always a good thing. "When did you get back?"
Jiraiya looked over to his favorite student. "Last night, it was too late to come over then, so I came over today the first chance I got."
This made Minato blink. "First chance?" He checked the clock. "It's already 3:30…" He trailed off when he saw Jiraiya's sheepish expression. He quickly caught on, and then sent a deadpan look his way. "Sensei…were you peeping at the bath houses again?"
Jiraiya just smiled sheepishly and rubbed his head. He chuckled a bit. "Ah, well…" But he froze at the sound of cracking knuckles. Slowly, he turned only to freeze once again when he saw the look Kushina was giving him. It was even scarier than the one before! How was that even possible?!
She walked up to him and grabbed him by the front of his shirt and lifted him up. "Jiraiya, I swear to kami…if you turn any of my babies into perverts, I will end you. Do you understand that?" The threat was clear. And it was very real. She threatened to do him bodily harm a lot. And she often delivered on that threat. But this one was next level scary.
Jiraiya gulped. And shakily nodded his head. "I understand perfectly. Don't worry, I got it."
With that, Kushina was all smiles again. "Good!" She then dropped him.
Jiraiya took a moment to collect himself. After doing so, he stood up. He looked around the room, inspecting each of the people in it. His eyes lingered on the babies for a while, but when the made it to Kushina, they really stopped. More specifically, on her chest.
A lecherous smile quickly appeared on his face. "I must say, Kushina. Those breasts of yours look marvelous with all that mil-" BAM! And he was out again.
Outside the House
Tsunade was currently walking down the street towards the Uzumaki-Namikaze household. She was thinking on how these pasts two months have played out. Despite her initial reservations, she was happy that she decided to stay in the village.
'Plus, things are finally starting to slow down after the Kyūbi attack…I now have more time to drink!' That thought brought a smile to her face. She pushed her chakra into the front gate, and entered the compound. After opening the door to the house, she prepared herself to greet the people in it. Before she could though, there was the sound of something large impacting the wall in the next room.
Thinking that something could have happened, she swiftly made her way over. The sight that greeted her isn't one that she expected. Her old teammate, Jiraiya, was slumped against the wall, blood on his face that was leaking from his nose. An enraged Kushina was standing in front of him, with an amused Kakashi and resigned Minato behind her. It didn't take a Nara to figure out happened.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, drawing the attention of the room. "This idiot…" She looked up at the other occupants in the room. "I'll get to him in a moment, I need a drink…" She then walked out of the room.
One Drink and Healing Later
They were all sitting around the room in the couches and chairs. The kids were all put back to sleep again. Minato started the discussion. "Welcome back, Jiraiya-sensei. I assume you're back because of what happened?"
Jiraiya nodded. "Yeah, I couldn't have come back sooner because I was deep into hostile territory at the time I heard. Normally I would have pulled out, but confirmation that everything worked out in the end set me at ease." Here, he paused, a solemn and sad expression taking place on his face. "Is it true that sensei has…?" He trailed off.
Tsunade also took on a sad expression and nodded. "Yes, he used the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Kyūbi into the kids. The yin half of the chakra into Narumi, the yang half into Menma, and the soul into Naruto."
Jiraiya nodded. "I see…not that I don't trust you, but may I inspect the seals? Just to sate my curiosity?" When he got the nod of approval from the parents, he went over to do just that. He was careful not to wake any of the babies. "Yes, these are nicely done seals…At least sensei died protecting what was important to him." He sighed. "But how did it happen in the first place?" This was directed to Minato and Kushina.
They looked to one another, before telling him the events of the night.
After Recounting the Night
They sat in silence for a while, contemplating what was just discussed. After a while, Jiraiya broke the silence. "I see…Well, I'll use the spy network to keep an eye out for this man…You said he had the sharingan?" He looked over to Minato, and seeing his nod, continued. "Ok, if he uses it again, all the easier. How many sharingan users could there be that aren't a part of Konoha?"
"Unless it was an Uchiha from Konoha." This point was made by Kakashi. It brought about another bought of tense silence.
Minato broke the silence this time. "We are not condemning the clan without proof of anything solid…We will treat it as an outside party until proof of otherwise is shown." They nodded at these words. "Anyways, enough with these depressing talks." A bright smile came upon his face. "Jiraiya-sensei, come meet your god children!"
Jiraiya smiled and nodded. The two of them headed over to the crib that the three babies were currently sharing, with Naruto in the middle and the other two on either side of him. It was an incredibly cute sight. "So…These are the brats, huh? Congrats."
Kushina and Minato smiled. "Thank you." They said together.
"They already look like you guys." At this, Naruto woke up. Out of the three of them, he was the lightest sleeper. "Heterochromatic eyes? How rare. And a light and dark combination too…" The baby simply giggled at the man observing him. "Heh, cheeky brat…"
"Will you help with their training?" This came from Minato.
"Of course I will! I will also be around town more. I want to be in their lives after all, not just the uncle they never see…Tsunade, will you help at all?" He looked over to his teammate.
"I don't know…They would need a great amount of chakra control to truly benefit from any training I could give them. Forget being a jinchuriki, just being half Uzumaki could make it harder with those giant reserves…but I sure will give it a shot." She smiled at this, looking forward to it.
"So that means you are staying in the village, then?" He smiled at her nod. "If nothing else, you could offer to let them sign the slug contract, I plan to do that with the toads…" Tsunade nodded in agreement to Jiraiya's words. That was always an option.
Jiraiya turned towards the window. "Sorry, but I don't have any more time to talk, I need to check up on people in the village." Minato nodded.
Kakashi headed towards the door as well. "I'm going to head off too." This surprised Minato and Kushina, he normally stayed longer than this.
"Why, what's the hurry?" Kushina asked him.
He looked back. "I want to head towards the bookstore. In the event that I have a long wait or something, I would like to have a good book to read."
This gained Jiraiya's attention. "You know…" He started. "If you are looking for a good book to read…" A lecherous smile was growing again on his face.
He was shot down by Kakashi before he could even finish. "Rejected." Kakashi continued on his way towards the door.
Jiraiya comically fell to the floor. "Why the hell not?!" He was highly insulted by this little brat!
"I refuse to become a pervert like you!"
"I'm not a pervert!" This earned him stares of disbelief from the rest of the room. Jiraiya made a pose again. "I'm a super pervert!" Naruto giggled at this.
Seeing her child laugh at this scene, Kushina grew enraged again. "Jiraiya! You better not be trying to get Naruto-chan to copy you!" The dark aura was back. She was slowly walking up to the sannin, who was cowering against the wall.
"No! I swear! It was probably how stupid I looked just now!" He didn't truly believe he looked stupid, but whatever to get the habanero away.
Kushina stopped, considering his plea, and then nodded. Relieving Jiraiya immensely. He turned back to Kakashi. "Consider it, brat! You may be surprised." With those parting words, he jumped out the window.
Kakashi scoffed. "Like hell I will." Nodding goodbye to the rest of the room, he left.
Minato looked over to the other people in the room. "Why can't things be normal? Is that too much to ask?"
Tsunade smirked while his wife giggled. "Don't worry," Tsunade started. "The years will soon fly by." With that, she walked over to the kids to start the checkup.
Minato looked at Kushina. "She thinks the years will 'fly by'? I doubt that." Kushina walked over to him, kissed him on the cheek, and then went over to help Tsunade however she could. Minato smiled to himself. "But I wouldn't have it any other way." He followed after the two.
Extra: The Birth of a Pervert (Part 1)
At the Bookstore
Kakashi was now browsing the isles, looking for a good book to read in his spare time.
'Hmmm, choices, choices. What shall I read?'
He wasn't really sure what he wanted to read, so he was looking through the best-seller section. If it was a best seller, then it must have some credibility, right? That only made sense after all.
I would prefer something I would not mind reading over and over again…That means it needs to be a really good book…'
He started to list off the options in his head…
'Hunger Games? Maybe…'
'War and Peace? Nah…'
'Make ou-' Kakashi froze. His mind screeching to a halt as he stared at the orange book. Once he realized what he was doing, he tried to move on, but his eye kept drifting back. He didn't understand! He wasn't a pervert! So why?! That was when he noticed something that startled him.
He had already picked it up.
He jumped, scared out of his wits. 'What kind of genjutsu is this?!' Quickly putting his hands together into the needed hand seal, he yelled out. "Kai!" He relaxed, thinking it was over and done with. He decided to just grab Hunger Games and get out of there before something else happened.
He walked up to the cashier. The guy working was about his age, and looked bored out of his mind. Kakashi sympathized with him. He wouldn't want to be there as well. Especially so close to closing time… Kakashi walked up to him and handed over the book in his hand. "Just this."
The teen nodded, and look down. He quickly becoming interested in the world when he saw what the book was. "Oh, you just starting the series?"
Kakashi nodded, not really feeling like talking at the moment. He didn't really get the need to make small talk with the customer when you help them out thing. 'Just shut up, take the money, and give me my book. It isn't that hard…'
A lecherous smile quickly grew on the cashier's face. "You're in for a treat." Kakashi nodded again, getting impatient. "And welcome to the brotherhood, fellow pervert." This caused Kakashi's to snap around as if he had been slapped. He stared down at the book in his hand in horror. It wasn't a black book with fire on it. That's what he had been expecting. It was an orange book with a person on it.
It was Make out Paradise: Volume 1
Jiraiya is, by far, one of my favorite Naruto characters. I was really mad when he died. Although one thing that always annoyed the heck out of me about cannon was the fact that he was Naruto's godfather...but he was never there until the chunin exams. I mean, really? Come on! What the heck is that? I plan on fixing that.
Tsunade's history also annoyed me a bit. She totally just moped around the elemental nations for years, dragging Shizune with her. She didn't even try to move on. She needed a genin to come by and knock some sense into her. And if you didn't notice, she doesn't have that fear of blood that she did in cannon.
Kakashi as we know of him is coming! I am enjoying his denial and transformation into the pervert that he truly is...
I don't know if I will keep it up, but I have started posting chapter progress on my profile.
