Just like the anime I will throw in a few filler episodes but they will mainly focus on my OC Mako Uchiha since some people tell me that she is still a mystery character. So here you go I hope you enjoy it. Just like the anime all filler episodes I have decide to implement will take place before Naruto meets Kurotsuchi. I hope you enjoy this little backstory for Mako and her relationship with other characters and there will be more about her to come. Mostly the filler episodes will be just about Mako for the sole purpose of giving her a backstory because some fans want to know more about her past. Now they won't be long but I will try to make them enjoyable for my loyal readers. So while I continue to work on episode thirty and perfect it I hope you enjoy this as something to read until then!
Filler chapter: Minato and Kushina's Request
-Border between Iwa, Suna, Konoha-
Three figures are seen walking towards a large ravine through the outer edge of the Border of the Land of Fire. From the forest emerge three Konoha Jonin. A man with his hair tied into a pony-tail and two horizontal scars on the right side of his face. A woman with long, brown, spiky hair that looks untamed and red, fang-like markings on her cheeks. The third figure looked almost exactly like Mako Uchiha. Shikaku Nara, Tsume Inuzuka, and Mikoto Uchiha have been sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi to deliver a message to the Hidden Stone and Sand.
''I pray for the love of Kami those Iwa idiots don't try anything for a simple delivery mission.'' Mikoto said as they approach a large ravine that separated them from Iwa and Suna.
''Yeah, Iwa has always been known to be aggressive in times of peace.'' Shikaku said as they stop just short of the ravine.
''There they are.'' Was all Tsume said as they look across from where they were standing and on the Iwa side of the ravine stood over thirty plus Iwa Jonin, all with smug grins on their faces.
''Well? You Konoha scum have what we want?'' The lead Iwa ninja asked.
Mikoto reaches into her pocket and takes out a scroll. ''Here's the message from our Hokage, give this to your Tsuchikage and tell him we want a response right away. Go on take it.'' Said the Uchiha woman as she tosses the scroll over to the Iwa ninjas.
The lead Iwa ninja just watches as the scroll lands in front of him and he turns his attention back to the three Konoha Jonin. He smiles wickedly.
''Heh heh, you Konoha scum are pathetic, peace is for the weak. We'll happily give you your answer right here, right now.''
The Iwa ninja all draw kunai knives and prepared themselves to attack Tsume, Shikaku, and Mikoto.
''Tch, I should've guessed they'd pull something like this.'' Tsume said as she draws her own kunai knife while Mikoto activates her sharingan.
''Troublesome Iwa ninja.'' Shikaku muttered under his breath.
The two sides were about to engage in a battle until they heard a voice speak from the Suna side of the ravine.
''You know, sometimes you Iwa ninja shouldn't be so hasty.''
Catching their attention, both the Iwa and Konoha ninja look to the side and spot a man with red, spiky hair standing before them with a look of anger and accompanying him were several dozen Suna shinobi.
''Fourth Kazekage Rasa Sabaku?!'' The lead Iwa ninja shouted.
''Not only are you about to instigate another war with Konoha, you're also standing in our territory so it would be unwise of you to start an incident between three military powers. So I suggest you leave. We'll put down any and all sparks that rain down on us.'' Rasa said sternly as he eyes the Iwa ninja carefully as if anticipating them to attack.
''Goddammit, scatter!" The lead Iwa ninja said before he and his colleagues flee the area and headed back to their village.
Rasa smiles at the cowardly Iwa ninja before turning his attention to Shikaku, Mikoto, and Tsume. ''Are you three okay?''
''Uh, yes, yes we are Lord Kazekage, thank you.'' Shikaku said as he bows in respect.
''Do you three have the message for me from the Hokage?'' Asked the Kazekage.
Mikoto nods and takes out another scroll from her other pocket and tosses it at the Kazekage who catches it.
''Lord Hokage would like a response right away.'' Said Tsume.
Rasa's only response was a nod. ''Very well.'' He said before he takes off with his shinobi leaving the three Konoha Jonin alone at the border.
-Street of Konoha, a few days later-
It's an early afternoon in the streets of Konoha. Since it was a Sunday not many people would be out except for several of the ninja of the village. At a certain dumpling spot we see three males and four females enjoying their lunch which consisted of of course, dumplings. One of the males was a familiar face, Kakashi Hatake but the other two males in the group were characters we have not seen before. One was a male who appeared to have short, unkempt, and dark-colored hair with a broad nose as well as black eyes. The boy next to him had medium-length, jet black hair in almost the same unkempt appearance just a tad bit shorter but that's where their similarities ended. You could call them brothers since they had almost the same hair but they weren't related at all. He had a fair skin and brown eyes. These two were Shisui Uchiha and Kenji Kasugano who was the third member of team Minato alongside Rin and Kakashi.
The girls who were with them were familiar faces. Anko Mitarashi, Rin Nohara, Yugao Uzuki, and Kurenai Yuhi
''Hey you guys, did you hear the rumors about the Hidden Stone denying the peace treaty from Lord Hokage?'' Kenji, the black-haired boy asked.
''But how are we going to entrust peace between the five nations with a little piece of paper huh? Especially if the Hidden Stone is still acting aggressive.'' Shisui said unsure of what to make of the situation.
Anko shrugged. ''Well, at least the world war will finally end regardless.'' Said the purple-haired girl as she munches on her beloved dumplings.
''Yeah, Shisui and Kenji you guys need to stop being such worrywarts and enjoy these dumplings!'' Exclaimed Yugao in pure joy as she devours two sticks of the treat.
As the seven Chunin enjoy their lunch a figure was walking down the street and made it's way to the dumpling stand. The figure was Mako Uchiha. However, unlike her friends who were joyful of the upcoming peace following the destructive war between the five villages she was sulking and appeared very depressed.
Kenji would be the first to notice Mako walking to them and looks up to see the Uchiha girl. ''Oh guys look! It's Mako!"
Shisui hears Kenji call out to Mako and also notices his fellow Uchiha. He smiles with a small blush as he looks at her. ''Come join us Mako!'' He said waving her over.
''Yeah! We bought lots of delicious dumplings!" Anko said holding out two tray fulls.
Mako however, just stopped abruptly in front of her friends. All she did was stand there as if frozen in place before slowly turning her head and looks at the group.
''Uh..Mako are you okay?'' Kurenai asked, seeing the sad and depressed look in her eyes.
Mako then turned her head and slowly walked away leaving the group behind and confused.
''What the heck is her problem? Since when did she become so emo she's always so happy.'' Kakashi questioned, a little annoyed.
Shisui gave Kakashi a quick right hook hitting his fellow shinobi in the jaw.
''Ow! What the heck Shisui?''
''You need to watch your mouth Bakashi. You can't expect Mako to be jumping for joy idiot.'' Said the Uchiha boy.
Kenji made a sound of agreement. ''He's right Kakashi, I doubt you'd understand why she's like this like we do.''
Kakashi looked at his friends for an answer. ''Alright alright sheesh, what happened with her though?''
Anko would be the one to answer the masked boy's question. ''Well...you know Asuka Kizama and Ken Sugimori from our class right?''
''Yeah?'' Kakashi said, wanting Anko to go on.
''It's just...the both of them died in front of her while combating Kumogakure two weeks ago. Some crazy Kumo Jonin dismembered them in front of her and she was left for dead until she was founded by Choza-sensei, Tsume-sensei, and Minato-sensei.'' Explained Yugao. A tone of sadness in her voice.
Kakashi felt like a complete fool, how could he be so insensitive to Mako's current depression?
''Well damn, I feel like the biggest idiot in the whole village right now..'' The masked boy groaned in annoyance.''I should go apologize.''
Kakashi was about to get up to do said action only to be stopped by Kenji.
''I'll go talk to her.'' Kenji said but like Kakashi he was stopped by Shisui.
''Actually Kenji, I should be the one to go and talk to her.'' Shisui said before walking off to find his fellow Uchiha.
-Academy schoolyard-
Mako was seen sitting on a bench in the academy schoolyard. Since it was still the weekend there were no classes going on so she thought it would be perfect to sit down in a quiet area and read a new book she had just bought prior to coming here. She flips through the pages when she feels a presence make itself known next to her. Looking to her left she spots Shisui Uchiha standing with a tender smile at her.
''Oh, uh..Shisui.'' Mako said, a slight blush on her face. ''W-what are you doing here?''
''I thought I'd keep you company Mako-chan. Mind if I sit beside you?'' Asked the boy.
''O-of course.'' Mako said moving aside to make room for Shisui.
Shisui moves to sit next to Mako and the Uchiha boy gives her another smile. ''Is everything okay with you Mako? Me, Kenji, Kakashi and the girls have noticed your somber mood.''
Mako frowned and looked at the ground beneath her feet. She closed her eyes and felt tears slowly leaving her eyes. ''I...I couldn't do anything to save them...actually...it was my fault they died because I was stupid to challenge Jin-e.''
''Stop blaming yourself for their deaths Mako, you had nothing to do with them nor did you cause them. It was Jin-e's fault they died.'' Shisui interrupted.
Mako looked at her fellow Uchiha in confusion. ''But..had we fled they would still be alive right now..it was my decision to fight him..''
Shisui knew Mako had a point, but still he couldn't let her bare the burden of being the one responsible for her teammates' deaths. ''Mako. Me, Kenji, and the girls are worried about you. We haven't seen you smile in a while and we always wonder how you're doing. Tell me please.''
Mako frowned once more but summoned the courage to speak. ''Ken and Asuka were like siblings to me even though we only knew each other for a short time. I mean, they graduated us all early to fight in the war but the three of us shared a strong bond. Kushina-sensei took their deaths as hard as I did.''
''Kushina-sensei may appear happy outside, but we all know she is hurting from their deaths. However, she is moving on and doing bigger and better things with her life because I doubt she'd want sulk over them for the rest of her life. Their deaths had made her a stronger woman. If she asks for a new team I know that she'll do anything she can to protect her students so don't let Kushina-sensei see that you're hurting just as much as her. Please Mako be strong for her, be strong for us, for me.'' Shisui said.
Mako looked at the boy and slowly, very slowly, a smile formed on her face. Shisui was right. She just couldn't sulk for the rest of her life over the death of her teammates. ''You're right Shisui..but what can I do to take my mind off of them?''
Shisui just shrugged, it was her decision to do what she wanted to help ease her mind and depression. ''Beats me, but I like to train in my spare time with Kenji. Maybe you can do some with Minato-sensei and Kushina-sensei.'' Suggested the Uchiha boy.
Mako gave Shisui's suggestion a little thought before nodding. ''Yeah, that sounds awesome especially to be trained by the Yellow Flash himself. Maybe he can teach me that jutsu I've heard he invented.''
''There you go, there's something you can train in to take your mind off all the negative feelings. Like I said, that's what me and Kenji do all the time.'' Shisui said.
Mako stood up, a small smile plastering her face. ''I think I'll head back to the compound right now to get some rest since I haven't slept in a few days.'' Mako said before turning to Shisui and planting a kiss on his cheek making the boy blush. ''Thanks Shisui-kun.'' She purred into his ear before taking off.
Left alone in the school yard a flustered Shisui watched as his fellow Uchiha walked away. Shisui then sensed a presence behind him and turned to see his best friend Kenji standing with a wide grin.
''Aw, she kissed you Shisui.'' Kenji said pinching his buddy on the cheek.
''Hey that was a genjutsu it wasn't real.'' Shisui said holding his hands up defensively.
''Oh fine, I'll give you that. So what's up with her? Everything alright?'' Asked the black-haired boy.
''Nothing really, I basically told her to not dwell on the loss of Ken and Asuka so much and focus on the positives that are currently in her life. Like for example, me, you and the girls. I also told her that maybe she can train with Minato-sensei and Kushina-sensei to take her mind off of that.'' Explained Shisui.
''Maybe I can spar with her again, after all she is my arch-rival.'' Kenji declared with fire in his eyes before he notices Mako had forgotten her book on the bench. ''Hey, she left her book.''
He then picks it up and reads the title of the book.
''How A Shinobi Should Die?! What is she reading?!''
-Namikaze household-
In the Namikaze household we see a long, red-haired woman with an orange shirt and apron cooking a bowl of ramen over her stove while humming a sing to herself. Then, a figure teleported into the kitchen directly behind her and watched her sing. The figure being Minato Namikaze, Konoha's Yellow Flash. Minato continues to watch his wife sing to herself before smiling tenderly at her.
Kushina sensed her husband's presence and turned to face him, giving him a smile of her own. ''Just what do you think you're doing there ya know?'' She asked.
Minato raised a finger and was about to explain the situation he was in but Kushina interrupted him. ''Wait wait, let me guess. Lord Hiruzen scolded you again did he?'' She asked with a small laugh.
Minato then sported a smug grin. ''Actually it wasn't that. It's just...it's good news.''
Kushina narrowed her eyes at her husband, then remembered that she had some good news to tell him too. ''Good news? Well isn't this a coincidence I have good news too!'' Exclaimed the Uzumaki woman.
''Oh? What would that good news be Kushina?'' Asked the blonde man.
'Nope, I won't tell you unless you tell me first.'' Kushina teased.
Minato pouted but then snorted. ''How about this, we both tell whatever the good news we have at the same time?'' He suggested.
''Oh fine, you win this time.'' Kushina said and the two adults then prepared to say their good news at the same time.
''Lord Hiruzen wants me to become the fourth Hokage.''
''I'm pregnant! We're gonna be parents!"
Both adults smiled at each other but then when they noticed what their significant other had said.
''Wait..what did you say Minato!?''
''What did you say Kushina!?''
The two adults moved closer to each other.
''I'm..gonna be a dad..'' Minato said.
''You're...the fourth Hokage?'' Kushina asked almost in a whisper-like voice.
''I'm gonna be a dad!'' Minato exclaimed in excitement.
''You're the fourth Hokage!'' Kushina exclaimed in excitement as well and the two adults hugged each other.
''We're gonna be parents!"
''You're gonna be the fourth Hokage!"
The two adults jump around in circles in pure joy until they realized how childish they looked. Letting each other go from their embrace they both clear their throats.
''Ahem, thank you very much Minato, for all your hard work.'' Kushina plainly said.
''Yeah, congratulations on your pregnancy, Kushina, and making us parents.'' Minato said in return.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
''Oh? I wonder who that could be?'' Minato then walked over and opened the door and saw that Kenji, one of his Genin was standing before him.
''Afternoon Minato-sensei! I came just like you asked so we can go train.'' Greeted the boy.
''Oh Kenji, um about that I'm afraid we're gonna have to put that on hold for..probably a while.'' The blonde-haired Jonin said making the boy tilt his head in curiosity.
''Huh? Why Minato-sensei?''
Minato pulled Kenji into his house and kneeled in front of the boy. ''So you know how Lord Hokage has been really stressed out by all this peace talk between us and the other villages right?'' He asked and Kenji nodded in response. ''Well, I've just been named the fourth Hokage.''
Kenji's plain facial expression slowly, very slowly turned into one of shock. The black-haired boy pointed a finger at the soon to be fourth Hokage. ''Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you?! HOKAGE?! F-F-F-F-F-FOURTH?!''
Minato smiled warmly at the boy. ''That's right!"
Then, Kenji took off before Minato even realized it leaving the married couple alone in their home.
''Was that Kenji?'' Kushina asked walking into the living room.
''Yeah, he seemed a bit shocked. I told him I was chosen as the next Hokage.'' Minato said walking up to his wife.
''Well, what did you expect? He's your Genin.''
Minato shrugged, then he remembered there was another thing he wanted to talk to Kushina about.
''Kushina?''
''Hm?''
''How's Mako been doing? I know she hasn't been the same since I found her in Yugakure with..the corpses of your other Genin and Takeda.''
Kushina understood the topic that Minato wanted to talk about. She too, much like the Uchiha girl have been in a slight state of depression at the loss of Asuka and Ken. ''Well..I actually haven't seen her since you brought her back to the medical camp in Yu. I want to talk to her about this but she's been avoiding me.'' Said the red-headed woman.
A lightbulb then formed over Minato's head. Since Kushina, who was Mako's sensei was pregnant, maybe he can give the girl something to do and maybe have her in their child's life which would surely make the girl happy again.
''You know Kushina, when I go into office tomorrow I can give Mako a life long mission to do.'' Minato said.
''A life long mission? What do you mean?''
''You'll have to wait and see for yourself Kushina.''
-Uchiha compound-
Following her meeting with Shisui Uchiha, Mako had decided to head home to relax and try to spend some time to herself to begin to think of ways she can get over her depression. The loss of her teammates being the cause until she heard someone running up to her door.
*BANG BANG BANG*
The sudden loud banging on her door made the girl yelp in panic and she rolled off her bed and fell right on her face. ''Who the heck is knocking?!''
''MAKO OPEN THE DOOR!"
Mako recognized the voice belonging to one of her friends being Kenji. Growling to herself she gets up and walks to the door and Kenji continued to knock and his fist hit Mako in the face repeatedly.
''Ow! Kenji stop!" Mako cried out in discomfort.
Kenji then abruptly stops and saw that the girl had a rather large tic mark on her head. ''Uh, sorry Mako, but I came here to tell you something important!"
''Okay, tell me what it is.'' Demanded the girl. Eyeing her friend with an annoyed look.
''The choice for the fourth Hokage has been announced!''
Mako continued to look at Kenji with the annoyed look.
''Alright, hold on to your pants because it's gonna be Minato-sensei!" Declared the boy.
Mako went wide-eyed at the news. Minato-sensei? The Jonin she had looked up too aside from Kushina was going to be Hokage?
''A-are you for real?'' The now confused Mako asked.
Kenji only nodded his head in response. ''Yeah! There are signs that say the inauguration is tomorrow at twelve!''
The girl's shocked expression would then turn into a smile.
-Hokage tower-
The next day Mako woke up very excited to watch her favorite sensei become the fourth Hokage. Now she stood in the courtyard of the Hokage tower and standing with her at the front of the crowd. Standing beside her were Shisui Uchiha, Kenji Kasugano. Kakashi Hatake, Yugao Uzuki, Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, and Anko Mitarashi, her best friends.
Up on the Hokage's tower we see Minato, now dawning the Hokage's cloak stand before Hiruzen Sarutobi and many other Jonin which included Mikoto Uchiha and his wife Kushina who all looked at him proudly.
Hiruzen then takes off his hat and Minato lowers his head so the former third can place the Hokage's hat onto his head.
Minato then raises his head so that he can look Hiruzen in the eyes. ''I believe you can carry on the Will of Fire and I entrust you with the future of our village. I believe in you, fourth Hokage.'' Hiruzen said proudly.
The fourth Hokage nodded to his predeccesor. ''Lord Hiruzen, I put my life into it and I will show that I am worthy of your trust.'' Said the blonde Hokage as he walks over to the railing and stood tall and proud for the people of the village. Seeing their new Hokage, the crowd then cheers loudly for the fourh Hokage as Mako and her friends look on smiling. She then turns to look at Shisui who does the same and the two smile at each other as they slowly take each other's hand and interlocked fingers before she turns her attention back to Minato.
''Minato-sensei...''
-Third Training Field, one hour later-
''Chidori stream!" Mako shouted and she unleashes a vast current of lightning all around her.
The range she had unleash charred the surrounding grass and trees leaving them burnt. The girl stands tall when she suddenly felt like someone was watching her from the bushes. Activating her sharingan she then forms a ball of lightning in the palm of her hand.
''Lightning blade!" She then charges at the figure she saw emerge from the bushes
The person she sensed then caught her wrist and stopped her just short of hitting him in the heart. The figure was revealed to be Minato Namikaze. He lets go of her wrist.
Quickly realizing her mistake, Mako then got on one knee and lowered her head in respect.
''Oh uh..Minato-sensei! I-I mean...L-lord fourth..I'M SO SORRY!''
Walking up to the girl Minato lets out a small laugh at the girl's nervousness. ''There's no need to apologize Mako and there's no need call me that because you are allowed to address me as you always have. Minato-sensei is fine.''
Mako looked up at the man and tilted her head slightly. ''Really?''
Minato nodded before sitting on the ground beside the girl. ''Sit Mako.'' He said patting the grass next to him.
Complying, Mako sat beside the Hokage and the two looked up into the late afternoon sky in serene silence. Minato would then be the one to initiate conversation.
''So Mako, what were those jutsu you used?'' Asked the man.
Mako turned her head to look at her Hokage. ''The lightning release ones I was doing? I call the first one Chidori stream and the second Lightning blade. I only made them up after I watched the inauguration but I've already gotten them mastered.'' Explained the girl.
''Impressive, you know Mako, there are a few reasons I came to you this afternoon.''
''Reasons? But isn't the Hokage supposed to be a busy man with all that paperwork Lord Third complained about all the time?'' Mako asked earning a laugh from the fourth.
''That is true Mako, very true. Really though, I came to you at the request of Kushina.''
''K-Kushina-sensei told you to come to me? But why?''
Mako wanted to know why the Hokage had really taken time off his first day in office to see her.
Minato turned took look at his wife's student and smiled very tenderly at her. ''You see, I was requested by her to take over training you.''
''Why?''
Minato then blushed before letting out a small laugh. ''Well you see Mako, Kushina, well she's pregnant.''
Mako for a split-second was shocked at the news but quickly returned Minato's smile. ''Oh! Congratulations.''
''Why thank you Mako. Now, for my reason for seeing you is I have my own request for you.''
''Request from me?''
''Yes, since she's the Jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi, as a matter of fact when any female Jinchuuriki is pregnant the energy holding whatever beast is in the woman's body is temporarily transferred to the fetus. So the seal will be weakened so for the next nine months I want you to watch over her against all threats and incidents when she is alone.''
Mako gasped at the request. To her, it seemed like way too much a young girl her age could do.
''Are you sure you can trust me with this mission?'' She asked.
''Don't think of it as a mission, more like a special errand.'' Minato said.
Mako nodded. ''Wait, you said Kushina-sensei said you'll be training me. Her being pregnant is the reason she asked you to train me?''
''You're right on that one, and I have just the jutsu to teach you.'' Minato said getting up. He then holds his hand out and to Mako's complete shock Minato formed a spiraling ball of chakra in his hands. Something she had never seen before.
''W-what the heck? How are you doing that?'' Questioned the Uchiha girl.
''This is the rasengan, a jutsu I invented when I was a teenager. The first step in mastering this jutsu is to use these water balloons.'' Minato explained to the young Uchiha girl as he makes some water balloons appear in a puff of smoke. ''First you'll have to spin your chakra into your palm in multiple directions. Here, like this.''
The man then takes a water balloon and holds it. He begins spinning chakra into his hand and soon enough the balloon bursts. ''Like that Mako. Do what I just did and you'll be one step closer to mastering the rasengan.''
''You got it Minato-sensei!'' Mako then picks up a water balloon and just like Minato she spins chakra into her hand and the results were satisfactory with the balloon popping. ''Yeah! I did it!" Mako said jumping in joy.
''Great job Mako.'' Minato then makes more water balloons and some rubber balls appear next to him. ''You see these balloons and balls? I want you to do what you just did and pop all of them but with the water balloons first. After that we'll move on with those rubber balls for step two and here's a fact about this jutsu. It doesn't require any additional chakra to sustain it so you can use this as much as you want and train with it as long as you want.'' Explained Minato.
''Got it Minato-sensei!"
The fourth Hokage and Mako would spend the rest of the afternoon going over the rasengan as the next scene shows various days of Mako watching over Kushina during the stages of her pregnancy. From the snowy late winters of February to the spring of April and May and to the summers of June to August, no matter where Kushina went if Minato wasn't with her Mako would be the one to watch her from the shadows.
-Minato and Kushina's house, 9 months later-
''Thank you Mako for watching over me when Minato isn't around. I really appreciate it.'' Kushina said to her student.
''Yes, you did a great job Mako. As your Hokage I am truly grateful to have a kunoichi as splendid as you.'' Said Minato.
Mako sat in front of them with a big smile on her face as she shyly rubs the back of her head in embarrassment. ''Aw, well it was nothing Kushina-sensei! Minato-sensei! I'm in the Hokage's service after all! So, is it a boy or a girl?''
''Do you want to tell her Minato?'' Kushina asked her husband.
Nodding, Minato looks at Mako with a happy look in his eyes. ''We are going to have a baby boy."
''That's great!''
''We'd also like for you to be in our son's life. Kind of like a big sister to him Mako.'' Kushina said.
Mako looked at Kushina and Minato with a shocked look on her face. Her sensei and the fourth Hokage want her to be in their child's life? She was shocked at first, then she realized the joy of being in a baby's life and watching them grow up with the parents. She felt happy.
''Of course! I'd love to be a big sister, I always wanted to be! So have you decided on a name?'' Mako asked as she makes her way over and begins to rub Kushina's belly and feels a kick.
''Yes, we've decided to name our son...Naruto."
Well, I sure hope you enjoyed my first shot at a filler episode. Now I know there are going to be a select few who will dislike this, but honestly I have a lot of stuff to do on a daily basis that will prevent me from working on episode thirty but hey, I assure you it is being looked over endlessly by me to make sure it's perfect for you guys. So, how do you guys like our first look into Mako's childhood? Any comments on her relationship with the other characters featured in this episode such as Shisui? The aforementioned OC Kenji? Let me know in a PM or review! Good night guys.
