To Da Reviewers:
Sorry it's taken so long to update, I've been writing other stories. Feel free to read them. Seriously, read them. 'Breaking Point' has had only 10 reviews and it's on the four chapter. -sob-
And the thing with talking about his village, it was because he was new to the world and the Powers That Be hadn't given him much of a background story at that point, hence he couldn't 'remember' and thus had to wing it.

Doubtful it stood, as the two combatants regarded one another across the battlefield, hot wind blasting up dust, hair and cloak snapping dramatically in the stiff breeze. They were evenly match, these two; both highly intelligent, both skilled and both well versed in this particular form of combat.
A pale-eyed maiden sat on the sidelines, chewing her lower lip in anxiety and flanked by a pair of grim Shinobi. Then, suddenly, the wind changed direction as Whisper smirked at his opponent.
"You fought valiantly, my friend, but now you shall fall."
The blue fox moved the Go piece from within the ranks of his seemingly random game set out, ending the board game being carried out in the shade of a yakinaku stand.
Nara Shikamaru regarded the board for a moment before conceding defeat with a simple "How troublesome."
"WHAT!" Came the loud and disbelieving demand from the masses of ninja who had bet against the newcomer. Hinata and the two ninja who had bet on him, a pair of ANBU who had been assigned to him since his appearance in Konoha, merrily collected their massive winnings.
Whisper was just completing his little happy dance when there was a terrifying yell which stilled the crowd in stark horror. Whisper supposed it was a situation similar to a train wreck; you can't look away.
"YOSH! The Power Of Youth is strong with this one!" Cried the larger green and orange monstrosity.
"YES, GAI-SENSEI! His Power in the Springtime of Youth is indeed worth of our praise!" Cried the smaller green and orange monstrosity.
It was like looking at a picture of a mauled animal for the first time; at first you can't make anything of the red, purple and pink pieces, but then you see something you recognise, like a paw, and then everything falls into place and you see the picture for what it is. Currently, Whisper had his head tilted in morbid fascination even while his lip curled in a silent 'eww'.
Things couldn't get any worse.

A pair of Trickster Goddesses snickered from their place in the crowd.

A sunset appeared from nowhere, scaring the bejeebies out of the fox.
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
Whisper twitched when the two…Suichi tentatively put forward 'people', hugged manly hugs, tears in their eyes, and shuddered at the horror of it all.
In the mind scape, Youko and Suichi watched in train-wreck horror; vaguely reminded of one Kawabara Kazuma for some reason.
In the real world, Whisper finally snapped out of his trance and screamed the first thing that came to mind.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? HAVE THE MALES IN THIS TOWN NO SENSE OF DECORUM!"
Upon realising what he had said, the fox promptly bolted to escape retribution from the male ninja in the crowd. Hinata mysteriously ending up tossed over his shoulder and carried off.
Shikamaru sighed as he regarded the game board. "How troublesome."
However, Whisper was the only person in a long time to have defeated him in either Go or Shoji, and thus warranted a smidgen of interest.

Somehow, and he honestly had no idea how they got there, Whisper and Hinata ended up in an ill-used dojo in the Hyuuga Branch House compound.
Having nothing better to do and wanting to lay low for a while, Whisper decided whip training was in order and so presented his pupil with a package he pulled out of…somewhere...
He turned around to give the girl her privacy as she changed, telling her the reason for the gift. "It's easier for whip-wielders to wear shin-tight or fitted clothing to avoid snagging in the middle of a move and botching the whip's course. Besides, these one's will distract an opponent, add to the intimidation factor and boost your self-esteem."
Hinata made an anxious sound. "Are you sure you got the right package?" came the plaintive query.
Whisper turned around to survey his student. He looked her up and down. "Yup." was his simple answer.
The outfit Whisper had chosen Hinata the day before when she wasn't looking was a little skimpy, but it suited her. The outfit was made entirely out of water-proofed reddish-brown leather and was, as he had mentioned earlier, skin-tight. The pants were hipsters that slipped into flat but stylish ankle-boots and the top consisted of a one armed crop-top with the one arm flaring into a long sleave down her right. The Left arm had a vambrace of hardened leather over a kid-leather glove. There was choker of the same leather around her neck. A matching whip hung from her vambraced hand.
Noticing something missing, Whisper circled the girl before deciding it was the hair.
Ten minutes later, those long bangs of hers were bound in tribal fashion with two thing strips of leather, her lips were painted bronze and her eyes looked heavy-lidded from the bronze eye-shadow and thick mascara.
Normally Hinata was pretty, now she was out and out hot.
"Now," Whisper started suddenly after his contemplative silence, "All we need to work on is a mask."
Hinata blinked. "A mask?"
"Yup." Whisper smiled and activated the Tsuin Rasen Sori. He'd 'remembered' that it was good at hypnotizing people.

It was very late when Hinata returned to the Main House. The Branch House attendants first figured that she had changed something besides her clothes when she picked up her younger sister, Hanabi, and bodily threw her out a window for sneering at her.
Hiashi heard about it not three minutes later and went to verbally abuse his eldest.
Ten quiet minutes later, the Clan Head left Hinata's room with a limp and a bloody nose.

Whisper walked into Naruto's apartment humming and finishing his dango.
He paused long enough to give the shade still in residence in the corner a 'You're-Still-Here?' Look. "What're you moping about?"
Not waiting for a reply, Whisper flounced into the bedroom. Naruto wasn't back yet. He shrugged.
"Oh, well."

Hope slunk through the backstreets of Konohagakure, fully intent of the destruction of a certain pair of deities, Chaos and Malice padding along behind the black sheep of the family, so to speak.
But he was their brother and they would assist him in committing acts of grievous bodily harm.
…Even if they believed his cheese had slid off the cracker.

Quote: From the Evil Overlord List- Number 85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."
