Shinobi Villages (Shinobi no Sato)
Shinobi or Hidden Villages, Shinobi no Sato, or Kakurezato, are parts of Countries, whose leaders stand equally with the landlords ruling the countries they are a part of. A Hidden Village maintains its economy by training its citizens to be Ninja from a young age and using them as manpower in various missions others would be willing to pay for, from weeding a garden for a single payment to receiving a constant budget from the country it resides in for being soldiers in case the country is involved in a war.

Review Answers:
Susa-chan: Twelve. Ichigo is eleven though. I'm glad that you're enjoying Kyuubi-chan but he's gonna make an appearance in a few chapters (maybe the next. I'm not really sure ;) So I gotta get him back for a bit. Don't worry! You can have what's left of him back when I'm done: )
SunshineandDaisys: Actually he already has a daughter, Midori, but now he gets to have another. A son! If I don't decide that he is going to die as a little baby…Joke! He won't die. Though I can't promise that Kane won't. Haha, you don't know who Kane is do you? Mweheheheheheee. Cough. Anywho, thanks for your reviews. You spoil me. I love it! Arigato!
Susakuru: Thanks! I try.
Mini-chibi-gaara-chan: Thank-you. I hope you keep reading!

Darkmousey-15: Thank-you! ; )
Danny-171984: I'm glad you like the pairings. For a little while I wasn't sure if I wanted Kakashi to somehow meet Shizune and marry her but then I was like, Na, KakaKure is a perfectly expectable pairing and one of my favorites so, yeah…And yes, Ichigo is still blind…for now…oops, did I say that?
Dragon Man 180: Have I ever told you and Danny-171984 how great I think you are. No really! You've reviewed every chapter since the beginning. You guys are totally awesome.
