Shadowclone076 Reborn

I will tell you now, making a game is no joke! There is the art, music and then the programing! All the programing! On the story note, I have put the game on hold to write. (All my free time was taken up these holidays by family, friends and above) So please, if you still hate me, send my a PM with big words, for now, enjoy.

"Demon/Hideo Talking"

Ichi POV

Things were all in order. Mostly. Tsunade was back, had taken a look at my arms and Lee's arm and leg. She had done most of what had to be done. But with Kakashi not hurt and me not out of it, things were thrown off. For one thing, he had been doing missions solo! Tsunade needed to use whatever resources she had, and because I was out for the count, she could only send Kakashi!

My arms were finally on their way to healing, but I was still torn. Very soon, I would have to make a huge decision. One that could shake the balance I have worked so hard to build: Leave or Stay?

Mac POV

"Well that was fun."

"If you call running from ninja for hours on end to watch something we both seen before fun, then it deserves an oscar."

"Look, I know that stuff wasn't as big as I wanted it to be. I coulda sworn that me and Sakura being there would have sparked something."

"Your buddy dose good work, I noticed he was doing an awful lot."

"How can you notice something I can't if we have the same senses?"

"Oh, well you see; You just don't pay attention."

Mac was busy walking back to the cave, having discarded Ichi's hideous flannel shirt and resuiting in his classic getup + Akatsuki cloak. Ichi had interrogated him bad, but all in all, he was not too angry. Moreso, he was intrested in that way when you start a good story.

When he arrived at the cave, he noticed that everyone was gone. JUST GREAT! They had relocated.

"What now? They were our meal ticket?!"

"I don't know! Let's just go back to the mist. I had my fun."

"You can't be serious. You'll be killed!"

"No I won't, I am coming back by choice! And its not like I killed anyone...important. I diddnt kill anyone important!"

"Ok, say they overlook your crimes, what about your two friends?"

"Oh, they'll probably just hit 'n hug. Classic me!"

"Your optimisim is so refreshing that I actually belive you."

What followed was a long trek back to the village hidden in the mist.

*a while later*

"Well, we are lost."

"I can see that. Have a plan? We are kind of in the same boat, and you just led us into the center of the ocean."

"Hold on, I'm thinking."

"Well don't hurt youself."

Mac looks around. There were trees, loads of rocky mountains and a house in the middle of nowhere.

...

"You don't think..."

"I already know what you are thinking."

Mac gets an evil grin.

"Oh hell yeah!"

He runs into the house, and sees an old lady stirring a huge pot with a black soup of some kind in it. He plops himself down into a booth and taps his palms onto the table in front of him, grinning at the old lady.

"Oh crap."

"Hello young man! Have you come to try our renowned curry of life?" Said the old lady.

"Oh SHIT!"

Hideo tries franticly to find an escape from Macs mind, any pit of ignorance, but Mac was completely focused on the curry. Fun fact, Hideo hates spicy food.

"Yes please!" Says Mac, pulling out a bag of "procured" money he got from a stingy shopkeeper.

"Coming right up!" Said the lady with a smile. Mac noticed something, that brat guy wasn't around. 'Did they really not do this yet? THEN ITS UP TO ME!' Mac thought with conviction!

Just then, Lee broke in, following the sent of freshly made curry.

"Hello madam! I am here to once again try your famous curry of life!" He said with enthusiasm!

"Go right ahead! There is someone else here too, so you won't have to wait long." She said with a smile, getting bowls ready.

Lee and Mac exchange glances.

"Greeting fellow curry enthusiast! I am Rock Lee! A pleasure to meet you!" He said with a sparkled toothed grin.

Mac tries his best to match his enthusiasm.

"Hello too! I'm Mac! I also like spicy food and stuff!" Mimicing Jariya's signiture pose.

This is a chapter to revive the series. That's right! I'm back! As to my dissapearance, apparently I have a condition I will never be able to get rid of, so I was depressed. Then I just adoped the live free, die young saying, so I'm back! I mean, everybody has to go some tim, right? (Even YOU!) Darkness aside, I'm happy to be back!

(Update times, 3 weeks+-, I am re-planning, old ones seem old now.)
