Last Chapter:

He finally reached the desk and decided to peek behind it. That's where he saw the crumpled body of his leader. Fearing the worst, Hiro carefully kneeled down next to the poor man and whispered his name. "Pst. Ho-ho-kage-sa-sama...Are you o-oka-y?" He saw that the Sandaime hadn't moved from the floor. Then he noticed a puddle of liquid coming from behind the Hokage's head. "Oh Kami, I Killed Him!"

Hiro began to panic until he looked closer. He saw that the liquid was in fact ink. Relief flooded the boy, but he was still panicking. Why weren't the ANBU attacking him?! Hiro got closer and put his hand in the Hokage's neck to find a pulse.

The old man's hand shot up and grabbed the boy's wrist. The young red head screamed at the top of his lungs. Still caught in the vice like grip, he tried pushing back and tried wrangling loose from his grip. The hokage pushed himself up and began laughing at the boy. He stood up dragging the boy up to his feet.

"It's nice to see you too, Hiro-kun." The hokage said with a small smirk. He looked down and saw the ink blotches covering the Hokage robes. Hiruzen gave a tired sigh. "ANBU! Bring me another robe." He was still holding the boy up by the wrist when he noticed how frightened the boy was. "I'm alright, thanks for asking." the hokage added with small smile.

Hiro visibly looked tensed up while he looked at the elderly man. So when the hokage began laughing and talking again, he relaxed. Until he remembered he had just assaulted the Sandaime. "I am so so so sorry, Hokage-sama! Please forgive me!" Hiro all but screeched out, breaking the infamous Hyuuga mask in the process.

Hiruzen looked at the exasperated look on the boy's face and laughed even more. "It's fine. You gave me a swift reminder that I need to keep my guard up at all times. Imagine if that had been a kunai or a shuuriken. I'd be a goner." The soft smile that hiruzen kept on his face disappeared. "However, if any one dare find out about this then no one will ever find you to confirm if it happened or not." Hiruzen kept a straight and serious face as Hiro's face turned into a look absolute horror. Hiro nodded as fast as he could.

Hiruzen broke into another fit of laughter before he finally released the boy from his grips. "If I may ask. Why did you launch the pillow at me?"

"Oh, I thought I had been captured." The boy rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to keep the embarrassment from his face.

"Ah, I see. At least I know that my shinobi are well-trained in bukijutsu. Tell me, what happened in Sunagakure. I need a complete report from your perspective."

Hiro began his report with the training that Orochimaru had been subjecting him too on the road to suna and their eventual arriving in the desert. Hiro went into incredible detail of what he had to do in his training outside of suna. When it came time to talk about his meeting with his now father, Hiro couldn't help but pause. After a moment of silence he talked about how the Kazekage had asked him a few question but nothing more than that. Then he lied about what happened to put him the hospital. He stated that it must have been exhaustion and lack of rest that finally caught up to him.

Hiruzen could easily tell that the boy was withholding something from him but decided not t call him out of his attempted deception. He opted for a question instead. "Why do you think gave the Kazekage the idea that you were his son?"

The look of shock spread across his face. Hiro hadn't accepted for the man to know of his own suspicions! Now here he was being told that even the Kazekage had the same suspicion that he had! He couldn't believe that man was his father. Under what circumstance had his mother gotten involved with that man. Snapping back to the real world he realized the hokage was still waiting for the answer.

"He knew my mother. I believe he also saw my hair and my tanto and made the connections." Hiro didn't even bother trying to deny that he knew that the man was actually his father. What was the point? It would only be for self-denial at this point. There was too much evidence to guarantee that Rasa was his father.

Hiruzen simply nodded was ready to dismiss the boy when he remembered something. "So after your first official mission, do you still want to be in active duty? Have you thought of what you want to do?" The hokage knew that whatever, Hiro answered wouldn't truly matter at this point. All he could hope for was that he could manage to keep Hiro as a konoha shinobi without starting another war with allies.

Hiro took a moment to really think again. Back in Suna he had decided that he wanted to continue to be under Orochimaru's tutelage but knew that the man was most likely in ANBU and was definitely in Root. If he wanted to be in his training, he knew that he would need to be in either organization to get the man's full attention and training. Currently he was learning what most shinobi would say are basics. If he wanted to survive in this world he would need to take full advantage of the tools being offered to him now. He knew that the life of a shinobi in ANBU would change him. For the better or worse had yet to be seen but he could live with it if it meant that he wouldn't be a pawn in this world. For him not to be a pawn he clearly needed to get strong enough that he could make real change in the world and not just another nameless shinobi.

"I want to be in ANBU."

The hokage simply looked at Hiro with a face that almost resembled pity. " I'm sorry Hiro-kun. You are too young to be put into the ANBU Corps. We can reevaluate your choice in being in the organization after you get your promotion to Chunin or Tokubetsu Jonin. Hiro felt the disappointment almost immediately. He had his suspicions that he would have to wait until the latter was true.

"For now, I will keep you in as an apprentice. You will be in the active genin roster and see where we can fit you in better when Orochimaru is away on missions that you cannot go on."

"Hai, Hokage-sama" Hiro still couldn't help but feel rather disappointed with what had happened. He decided to finally take his leave from the Hokage's office and walk around the village.

Hiro was making his way to a weapons shop to see if he could restock on Kunai and Shuuriken he had displaced back in the desert. Casually strolling the market place he bumped into his friend. A smile made it's way across his face betraying his Hyuuga mask when he recognized Itachi Uchiha. By reflex alone, he reached out and almost gave the boy a hug before he refrained himself from doing so.

"Hey, Itachi-kun. I'm surprised I bumped into you here of all places." Hiro said trying not to sound too enthusiastic.

Itachi simply looked at Hiro and began to walk away from his old friend.

Hiro ran after him and grabbed the boy's shoulder to stop turned around and swatted his hand away. "Leave me be." Itachi said in his usually stoic voice and began to leave again. Hiro couldn't understand why his only friend would be doing this until he remembered why the boy could be mad at him.

"STOP." He ran after him again and got in front of his way. "I'm sorry I couldn't go to the dinner. I was given important mission and had to leave the same day I had made the plans with you. I didn't even have enough to time to gather my gear, let alone inform you and your family that I would have to reschedule."

Itachi got a curious look to his face and he decided to at least listen to his friend. "Important mission? You?" Itachi said almost sounding like he had given a scoff.

Hiro tensed for a moment. Then responded. "Yes, me you ass. Well. The hokage didn't give it to me necessarily. Rather he gave it to Orochimaru-sensei and Orochimaru-sensei decided to take me with him." Hiro said while he tried to keep his hyuuga mask in check.

Itachi began to look at him and finally decided to accept the boy's apology. "You know, you still made me look foolish in front of my Tou-san." Itachi sighed and invited, Hiro back to dinner that night.

"Yes, I have nothing else planned for this evening." With that both boys began to go back to the Uchiha Compound. They walked in relative silence before they reached the homes. It looked different than what he had imagined from the show. Then he remembered that they had been moved after the Kyuubi attack and that still hadn't happened here. "Why were they moved again?" He thought to himself. Hiro decided he really needed to review of what he knew of this world before he kept on forgetting more and more of the crucial details.

Arriving at the gates, it opened automatically for the small duo and were not interrupted as itachi lead the way to his home. "Stay out here, I need to tell Tou-san you're here." So he stayed outside as Itachi went in and saw the other Uchiha walking around casually. Everyone seemed to be staring at the former hyuuga and whispering to one another. He began to feel uneasy as everyone who passed seemingly stared at the young boy. He looked back to the door and Fugaku stepped out.

"Come inside." Fugaku waved the boy to come in.

After that, he walked in and was escorted to the eating quarters. He sat down with Fugaku and Itachi and looked at the table. There was a bowl of rice, fish and another bowl of miso soup. "Ugh. I hate fish. Why does everyone here enjoy eating fish so much." Hiro looked up and noticed it would only be the three of them eating. He wondered where itachi's mom currently was. Then his mind wondered and questioned who had made the dinner? Itachi had been in his presence for the last 30 minutes as they had walked to the house.

He looked back down at his place and knew that he had to leave the dishes absolutely spotless if it had been Fugaku that had infact cooked the meal. That meant he had to eat the Kami-damn fish! He knew he would have to suffer the entirety of the dinner and hope that he wouldn't throw up any of the food. He suspected he was already on the bad side of this clan. He knew that if disrespected them in their own home he would be absolutely hated by the clan.

He gulped and waited for Fugaku to start the meal. He wasn't too sure how they would start it. After a few tense moments, Fugaku began to eat and that gave the go ahead to the two younger children at the table. After around a minute of silence, Fugaku cleared his throat and spoke.

"It's nice to finally receive you in our home. Itachi had spoken about his mystery friend on a few occasions." He gave a slight nod in itachi's direction. "I wanted to thank you for helping my son along in his training and apologize if my son has held you back in any form."

Hiro felt absolutely astonished at what he was hearing. He couldn't believe it in fact. "I should be the one apologizing. It has been itachi teaching and helping me along in my training. Your son is a greater prodigy than I could ever be." Hiro looked in Itachi's direction and saw the boy looking a little embarrassed.

Fugaku's reply shocked the young boy yet again. "You shouldn't humble yourself so much. Your accomplishments in the field out do many veteran shinobi 3-4 times your age. You have also been selected as Orochimaru's apprentice. That is nothing to speak so lightly about." The room went back to silence as the trio continued eating the meal in front of them.

Nothing much was spoken as they finished their meal in silence. Cleaning the table up, Fugaku invites the boy's back into his study. The trio moved and walked across the large house. Once they reached inside, Fugaku motioned for them to sit on two empty chairs.

"Tell me, Hiroaki-san. Now that the Hyuuga have excommunicated you from the clan, where are you currently staying?" Fugaku asked, more or less phishing for information.

Hiro couldn't tell if the man in front of him actually cared, was being polite, or was trying to manipulate him. He knew sooner or later that people would try and take advantage of him, but he hadn't expected it to be this quick. "The Hokage was gracious enough to allow me a room in the Sarutobi Compound."

Fugaku took a moment analyzing the boy's response before he answered with his own. "Well as a friend of my son, I must insist that if you find yourself without a place to go, you can come here. If you ever need help with something, feel free to ask of our help, the Uchiha try to help their friends." He gave a smirk.

After Dinner

Hiro made his way back through the town after leaving the Uchiha Compound. Hiro had still felt disappointed after the Hokage had told him he was far too young to be put into the ANBU training regiment. Now he found himself seeking out Orochimaru but had failed to find him after about an hour of looking. Now he was making his way back toward the Sarutobi compound to retrieve the scroll he had left there. He wanted to try something new. Walking into his temporary room (courtesy of the hokage),he didn't find the scroll anywhere.

Instead he simply found a note saying to go to his favorite training spot. Hiro looked at the note in confusion. Only one other person should know about the spot and he doubted that itachi would go and break into the Sarutobi compound and take his scroll. Hiro knew it could very well be a trap but decided to go any way. What could they possibly do to him inside of Konoha?

He left the room and made his way to the area. When he arrived he immediately activated his byakugan. He spotted 5 small chakra defections in the area that screamed to him about an ambush. He was too late in moving. The defections sprung and revealed themselves. 5 masked shinobi surrounded him in an instance. Hiro fell into his Juken stance and waited for them to make the first move.

The group moved in unison. Hiro could see them all approaching, for once his Byakugan wasn't turning off! They closed him into a tighter circle and finally lunged. "Hakke Sanjūni Shō!"(Gentle FIst Art:Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms) Hiro blazed and began to land critical strikes on the Root shinobi. In a matter of seconds that followed, only 3 root-nin had jumped back from the assault. 2 of them laid unconscious on the floor. Those 3 hadn't escaped unscathed. They had several important tenketsu closed off. Forming their chakra was much harder to do now.

One of the root shinobi hadn't jumped back far enough, Hiro leapt forward with a kunai in his hand. A shadow raised up from the ground and grabbed the young hyuuga's wrist. For the second time that day he found himself in the grips of one of the Village leaders. Danzo stood there with a stoic face. Without uttering another word, he felt the familiar pull of the Shunshin technique. A moment later, the figures in the clearing all disappeared.

ROOT Secret Base

Hiro had stop resisting since they had initially pushed him into the underground tunnel. He knew he wasn't going to be able to fight off Danzō. He simply complied as he pushed him along the very dark tunnel. They had been walking for what seemed to be half an hour.

The tunnel twisted and turned. Went from stairs going up to steep declines in altitude. All the while having no light to navigate. This must be meant to confuse any intruders that managed to get into these tunnels. As far as Hiroaki could tell, there wasn't any obvious way in or out of these tunnels.

Finally reaching an open chamber filled with small candles that were placed along the walls. Hiroaki immediately noticed the row of cells that aligned the room. Hiro's heart sank down in his chest. The group noticeably stopped here.

"Took you long enough." Said a voice from the far left of the room. Hiro instantly recognized his sensei's voice. He immediately looked over at him and felt a tinge of relief. If his sensei was there, it couldn't be all that bad.

Danzō went to have a small conversation with Orochimaru while the guards put Hiro into one of the cells. After what seemed to be another long wait for the two men to finally stop talking, they both made their way to Hiro. Danzō did a set of hand signs and the doors opened up. They both turned around and motioned for Hiro to follow them into another dark tunnel.

This time, the tunnel wasn't nearly as long. It was a short walk before light broke through the other side. In this room it had multiple doors. Danzō entered the leftmost door before he came back holding onto Hiro's scroll and a small black cloak and a small porcelain mask. He came back and told Hiro to follow him.

This time they walked for a good 6 minutes before the group arrived at his office. He sat down in his desk and laid the items on it. He motioned him forward and told Hiro to sit down. As he sat he noticed Orochimaru went to a different side of the room and began to lean against the wall.

A few moments of silence later, Hiro cleared his throat and spoke. "Why am I here?" Hiro said feeling a strange sense of Deja Vu.

"It seems that current events have forced our hands into hiding you. With this.. revelation of your heritage, it seems that you will be playing a bigger part in our plans." Danzō replied with his cold voice.

"Plans?" Hiro asked confused as he turned to look at his teacher.

Danzō pushed the black ANBU cloak and mask in my direction. "We have great plans for you, Hiroaki."

Hiro went and picked up the cloak and mask. Flipping the mask over he felt a strong sense of confusion. "Why?"

"Sensei plans on giving you away to Sunagakure to save his precious alliance." Orochimaru scoffed.

Hiro stayed quiet for a moment trying to deduce what the plan was before he tried to answer again. "You want me to join Ne, so Hokage-sama has no authority over me as a shinobi..?" Hiro took a wild swing in the dark. By the way they both looked at each other it became evident that they hadn't thought of that. Danzō sighed out loud and told Hiro to wait outside while they discussed something.

"I don't think they planned too far ahead or really thought about this situation. *sigh* I wonder if anyone even knows i'm missing. Would they even care to go look after me? Well the Hyuuga might, they wouldn't want anyone getting their hands on our precious eyes. They would probably give me a seal and then kill me too insure that the byakugan was successfully locked away."

Hiro's thoughts were interrupted as the door opened. They motioned for him to walk in and he walked back to where he was previously sitting down. He looked to orochimaru and then to Danzo.

"In the upcoming weeks there will be many trials that you will have to face, Hiroaki. The elder council will fight on your behalf to remain in the village. I can speculate that even some of the shinobi council will fight for it too. Whether or not you leave to Sunagakure will be Hiruzen's decision. In the event that you are forced to go, you are to act as our eyes and ears inside the village. Before this decision is made, you will be trained here in case of that scenario."

"What happens if I get to stay in the village?"

"You are a proven asset on the field, and as such we will provide you will all of our training as possible. You will be molded as an important figure for this village. With your heritage from such a noble clan, and blood from another important family, you will be an important person. There is no doubt that if the Kazekage cannot get you in this try, he might lead us back into war."

Hiro thought things through for a few seconds. "What makes you think I would want to join Ne?"

Danzo gave a small smirk. " I heard you wanted to join ANBU Black Ops? Well, I'm giving you a chance to join my ANBU forces."

From there on, they continued to discuss more of the intricate plans and response, Hiro should make if ever questioned by Hiruzen and so forth. They told him that he didn't have to worry about having a place to say any longer. Ne would provide adequate housing and supplies for the young boy.

The final thing they had told him was that he would be accompanying Orochimaru into the upcoming battle. Apparently victory was required at all costs, so Danzo was sending a sizeable force of his ANBU to help ensure Konoha's victory was a success. They told me that this mission would be a test to see if I had it in me to pass the trial's and training that Ne would put me through.

They went and escorted the boy to the sleeping quarters inside the base and led him into a room where he would be staying for the meantime. He walked in and laid out the things they had given him. His scroll, the black cloak, the small featureless white, porcelain mask and a scroll of basic supplies.

Unsealing the basic supplies, he noted that there was a tipless Tanto among other things there. He finally remembered that he hadn't noticed that his mother's tanto wasn't with him. They had most likely left the sword behind in Sunagakure as they had fled the village. He knew that he would probably not be seeing the blade anytime soon. His mind then wandered to what was revealed in Suna.

His father was the Yondaime Kazekage. He didn't know what to feel. Should he feel happy that he had found out who his father was? Should he be mad that no one ever told him who exactly his father was? Why had it been kept a secret? Did anyone know? Why did his mother never mention it too him when she was alive?

He didn't like questioning whether or not his mother had the best intentions for him but was left wondering if she did. He had always been treated badly by the rest of the Hyuuga Clan. No one ever really wanted to interact with him. The loneliness he experienced had driven him to shell himself up in his own mind. He had almost no friends or reason to actually stay in Konoha.

That though made Hiro go wide-eyed. He had almost no reason to stay in Konoha. The village had almost taken everything from him. He had no family that wanted to interact with him. He had no friends besides Itachi. The shinobi side of things wanted to use him for their own gains,no doubt about it. Fugaku wouldn't have approached him if the man hadn't something in mind to advance his own interests. The same could be said about Danzo and the Sandaime.

Really, only Orochimaru had shown genuine interest in him and his well-being. The monster everyone in Konoha would come to hate and fear was the one who might have had his best interest in mind. He had taken to teaching him and giving him his attention and laying down parts of his philosophies so he could learn. Or maybe Orochimaru had other sinister things in mind but he hadn't seen any of that so far. He had come to a conclusion that maybe it was Konoha that had ended up twisting Orochimaru, Danzo, and Itachi into the monster that they had been seen as.

The same konoha that he was in. Maybe this village would end up twisting him into another monster. Fear ran through him. Those three were all in his life, taking up chunks of his time and had interests into him. The boy asked himself just who he was.

He knew he had come from somewhere else right? Could he even remember anything from where he had come from? The boy sat up and began to try and remember his old life. He simply couldn't put any of the details. He knew had a family and people that loved him. Except he couldn't remember any real details from that world. He began thinking that maybe he had been going insane.

He thought it could have been a coping mechanism his mind created from the constant loneliness he had experienced so far. That would make sense if he didn't know better. He knew he had foresight into this world. He knew the things that would eventually happen. He had already been exposed to some of things that had came true.

He thought that now would be a good time to finally start writing down the foresight he had before he lost more of it to time. He grabbed his main scroll and opened it. He took one of the supply scroll his uncle had given him and opened it. Sure enough his uncle had left him writing materials. He took a pair of each and began to try and write in his old language.

A huge grin appeared when the words and thoughts came naturally and what he write down had made sense to him. It was great reassurance to the boy that he wasn't losing his mind. He spent the next thirty minutes writing down the things he could remember from this world. The more he had written down, the more he began to remember from his old life. It served to calm the boy down about his alleged delusions.

He went and sealed the notebook back into the supplies and then resealed that into the blood scroll. He knew that no one but him and maybe his uncles could now get into the notebook. He walked over to the small bathroom and headed to the sink. He washed the blood of his hands and then paused when he looked at the mirror.

"These aren't my eyes." His hands reacted to the thought and went up to feel around his eyes. "This isn't my hair." His hands combed through his longish hair. "This isn't my nose." His hands began to inspect his small nose. "These aren't my lips." His hands began to slightly tremble. Anger building up inside his small frame. "THIS ISN'T MY FACE!" His hand bawled up into a fist and smashed the mirror into shards.

Next Morning

"We only have a day to make you not totally useless. So come get these bells. Kukukuku." Orochimaru taunted again. His voice rang from every direction.

I turned on the byakugan and saw him sitting down eating breakfast on a log. "The nerve of this guy!." I prepared my Hakke Kusho and decided to test something new out. I smirked at the mere idea of this and I knew that no other Hyuuga had probably ever thought of doing this. I had thought of combining the Shunshin with Hakke Kusho. I didn't know how I would do it. I had to either Shunshin myself and then do the technique as fast as possible and catch him off guard or actually Shunshin the Hakke Kusho itself to Orochimaru! If the latter turned out to be possible, it would leave me with endless applications of it. I could possible Shunshin a Shuuriken and attack people from a much longer range. With the Byakugan as well I could essentially turn into a sniper! The possibilities were absolutely outstanding!

I decided right there I rather test to see if that was possible then take his "training" (torture) that day. I began walking to Orochimaru and decided to tell him.

There he was simply finishing off his breakfast off when he saw that his student was walking out from the forest. He continued munching on his food as the boy continued approaching. He didn't sense any hostility coming from his young charge and thus deemed he was not a threat. Yet he still tensed slightly. Just in case. "Kukuku. Realize how hopeless you are?"

The boy didn't respond as he drew near. Instead the boy reached into his black cloak and took out a Kunai. He lazily threw the the butt end of the kunai at him indicating for him to catch it. Orochimaru reached out with a chopstick and caught it, spinning it several times.

"Is it possible to manipulate a kunai with chakra after it's left your hand?"

That had instantly peaked his interests. "Well, it is possible. Too difficult for most shinobi to do. Kukukuku. Certainly too difficult for you to do. Why?" Orochimaru tried to hide the eagerness of the question.

The boy tilted his head and gave a wide smirk. The boy didn't want to reveal the answer to the question. He wanted to learn this technique by himself. "Is there any techniques you know that can do that?" The boy couldn't hide his excited face anymore.

Orochimaru knew there had to be something spinning in that boy's head. So he went and asserted himself again. "I'll tell you if you tell me why you want to know."

The boy's disappointment became evident. He frowned at his teacher and remained silent for a few seconds. "I had an idea when I was coming up with a game plan, but if you don't tell me then I'll just find somebody who will." The boy had the nerve to speak like that to him and still walk away! Orochimaru put down the bowl, flipped the kunai so that the kunai pointed up his arm and threw it at the boy. "Kunai Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" As it flew, hundreds of kunai appeared and blanketed the area.

Before the boy could even react, he was hit with dozens of kunai. Thankfully none of the kunai impaled him, they just bounced off of him. BUT they hurt like hell! Hiro stayed laying on the floor. The wind had been knocked out of him. He heard Orochimaru's laughter.

Orochimaru walked over him and simply grinned down at the boy. "Does that answer your question?" Then he laughed again. Walking back to finish his food.

"Yes. Yes it does." He said as he began to get up and dust off his cloak. "Can you teach me how to do that?"

"No." Orochimaru began to munch his food more. "You're not ready to do it yet. You need to know the regular Kage Bunshin first."

"Can you teach me that then?" He asked still holding on to hope.

" I'm not sure you have enough chakra to effectively utilize the clone to it's full potential. I'll teach it to you if you just tell me why you want to learn it."

Hiro knew he probably couldn't keep it a secret forever. He might as well tell the man a part of what he wanted to learn how to do. He would just have to make sure the man didn't steal the credit for inventing this jutsu. "I wanted to manipulate a shuuriken or a kunai and Shunshin it to an enemy."

Orochimaru had been blown away. He had never even thought of doing something like that! The ingenuity behind this Jutsu was simply incredible! He was beyond impressed. He had always known the boy in front of him was talented and quick-witted. But this just proved to him he was teaching a prodigy like himself. That had to be it!

He gave a sickening smile and licked his lips. "Let's get started then."

Next Day

The next day came and Hiro was beyond tired. The training had been chakra intensive and he had not fully recovered. Yawning he got ready and put on his cloak and mask. At least a hundred root shinobi were getting ready next to him. They stood in front of Danzo who was yelling out his expectations and groups. I got paired into Orochimaru's group of 4 and we set off in our individual squads outside of the village.

Once we were a good kilometer away from the village, the shinobi that been following us began to go in their own ways to eventual arrive in the area that they had laid out for us in Kusagakure. They wanted us to follow in the Third's plan of an ambush. Orochimaru's group was to go and inform Minato and then ensure the Ne Squad's were in the correct positions. After waiting half an hour we set off.

A/N: Well, here we go! Finally in the last leg of this war and ready to cause some heavy damage! For those of you that didn't get to read the previous little update, I decided to upload what I had and leave the battle for the next update. Multiple people showed support for me to upload it now rather than waiting later. I will try to pump out the next chapter by the end of this weekend, but no promises.

For those interested in how strong I see Hiro being. Some of his kills up to now can be attributed to the ingenuity of the character and the gross underestimation that they have of him.

Also,s sorry for misleading you guys into thinking the Hokage was dead. I just thought it was a funny little scene to add. Until next time. Out.
