E/N: to reviewer Eternal Cosmic Sailor Saturn(name alone makes me think you are a Sailor Moon fan, nice I used to be a pretty big fan but I split with the series after dealing with its horrible fandom *Thousand Yard Stare*) from GBAboy313- I'm glad you love that butterfly effect. Well, any change resulting from an alteration to the timeline could be categorized as a Butterfly Effect, as any change resulting from the ripple effect as events are altered. I'll admit, most of my understanding of time travel physics comes from Flashpoint and its movie adaptation The Flashpoint Paradox. To quote Eobard Thawne in the Flashpoint Paradox: "Break the sound Barrier and there's a sonic boom. You broke the time barrier Flash, Time Boom, ripples of distortion radiated out from that point of impact shifting everything just a tiny bit, but enough. Enough for events to happen slightly different. (…) Her Hero…how noble…oh wait, you didn't stop JFK from getting assassinated, or make sure Hitler stayed in Art school, you saved your mommy, you missed her, and in a supreme act of selfishness, shattered history like a rank amateur and turned the world into a living hell- moments away from destruction. And I'm the villain?" sorry I had to quote it. Thawne, The Major from Hellsing, and All For One are villains that people like to claim can shift their worldviews to always claim indisputable superiority over their adversaries to the point where people just kill them to shut them up rather than try to challenge them intellectually…I say they are sick people who need to be locked away in insane asylums like the psychotically ill should be, the unremarkable end for men who craved being remembered as monsters. People may not care much for the New 52 version of Eobard Thawne, but the fact that he ends his storyline inside an insane asylum is perfection. I also just realized that Thawne and All For One share psychotic obsessions with their respective nemeses to the point of ignoring others and getting bit in the ass for it. I'll save the other review I was going to respond to for the end.
A/N: Sorry for the wait. There are reasons for this. Firstly, I succeeded in writing out this chapter only by the end of June. And after that me and GBA were in a bind whether to hold off releasing until the email notification issue of fanfiction was fixed or just continuing as usual without paying attention. In the last chapter of One Year Early, I requested you all to switch to the app if possible, at least until the notification issue was fixed. That suggestion still stands. Me and GBA have come to the decision that we will keep going with the releases even if the notifications issue isn't resolved. We are also taking our fics over to Archive of Our Own, though thither, Guardian has only 4 chapters released till now, since we both can't find much time to publish all the chapters of Guardian over there, but it will be done in due time. Until then, kindly consider switching to the app to remain up to date with the releases. With that lets get on to the chapter without further ado.
CHAPTER 42: AFTERMATH OF YAKUMO'S RESCUE
*A week after our favourite couple alongside Kurenai had saved Yakumo Kurama from her inner darkness*
The week was mostly just some hanging out and training. With Naruto and Hinata going on some small dates every now and then, simple romantic gestures.
They also trained. Hinata was focused on learning the basics of the eight inner gates formation from Gai to be able to open the first one.
For Naruto, he had begun working towards accomplishing the task set by his parents to learn what secret they knew that explained everything from back during the encounter with Itachi and Kisame. Jiraiya had started his training on sealing jutsu. The very basics of it, to be precise.
It wasn't exactly what Naruto had planned. Jiraiya decided to flee the Hokage's office to escape from the evil paperwork. (Jiraiya was convinced that if a paperwork god existed then they were either boring as hell or sadistic, but definitely evil and very interested in human suffering)
Naruto's current task was to develop a seal to store a kunai in a scroll. The most basic of sealing jutsus.
"Well, I don't say this often to you, but as far as sealing jutsus is concerned, I am very certain that you'll do good brat."
Kurama briefly rumbled about Jiraiya switching between terms for 'brat,' but even the great Kyubi-no-Kitsune bent before the power of disappointment, specifically the disappointment of two ninja parents who believe you can do better. They're not mad, but they are disappointed.
"Thanks, Ero-Sennin!"
Unlike any other ninja art school, sealing was a complicated one. Or more accurately, it was much more complicated from the outset.
Jiraiya had to a theory lecture.
"Fuinjutsu can be broadly divided into three categories. Storage, Barrier, and Space-time. Then when it comes to application, there are seals ranging from basic storage ones, ones where the object sealed is suspended with its time flow stopped, though that also means stepping a little into the space-time fuinjutsu category, there are those which can seal chakra; the seals that are used to seal the Biju are good examples since the Biju are masses of pure chakra even if their chakra volume and composition are so different from most that it requires specially devised methods that are often so demanding that the techniques are considered sacrificial or suicide techniques. Curse Seal techniques are a bit hard to define with an overview but they typically include features designed to restrain and subdue whoever is branded with them, often in painful ways. Orochimaru's curse seal, the Curse Marks, is a fascinating but twisted recent addition to the Juinjutsu school- it might be what Orochimaru gets remembered for if he doesn't go too far and make the entire world hate him so much that the world chooses to forget him rather than keep him in memory even if they memorialize his atrocities as a cautionary tale. What we do know about the Curse Mark is that it functions in a way similar to Jinchuriki with Biju chakra cloaks and more common ninja with stress induced combat adaptation. Then there are the seals which are used to contain another seal, like the containment method used by Kakashi on Sasuke and the one used by Kurenai on Yakumo, or the one more pertinent to you that you have actually experienced: the Five Point Seal for screwing up Jinchuriki by placing an external limiter on their primary seal that shuts them off from their Biju's power." The Godaime Hokage explained.
"Wow, seals have so many applications!" Naruto said in amazement, while pointedly ignoring the bad memory Jiraiya had prodded.
"Very much true. Some call it the pinnacle of ninjutsu as a whole, the most difficult shinobi art to master. But those who are good seal masters are always legendary shinobi, or at least, legendary shinobi always make sure to learn the sealing arts. All of the Hokage have been seal masters." Jiraiya explained.
Naruto nodded enthusiastically.
"Now then, we will obviously start with the basics. The most basic of storage seals are the ones which are used to store small weapons. Let's have you started on sealing a Kunai. Watch closely."
Jiraiya laid a blank scroll and took a brush.
"A seal has two basic parts, the sealing matrix, and the keying system. The sealing matrix contains the data on the type of object to be sealed. The keying system contains the information on how to seal and unseal. In this case, the sealing matrix will have the information on the overall dimensions of the object to be sealed. In our case, it is very straightforward, we only need to enter overall dimensions of a kunai. There are no conditions to be placed. And as for the keying system, it just needs a burst of chakra."
Jiraiya carefully put the information through on to the seal through careful strokes of the brush, then placed a kunai.
He made a handsign. "Seal!"
And the kunai vanished into the seal.
"Now then." He made the opposite hand-sign of the one he had used. "Unseal!"
And the kunai came out.
"And now you." The white-haired sage suggested.
Naruto took the brush and got to work.
"That…that…and…I guess we are done!" He exclaimed.
"Now to try this…" He took a kunai. "Seal!"
The kunai got sealed and then immediately got unsealed. Making the blonde sweatdrop in confusion.
Jiraiya smiled a bit. "It's not that easy, even if it appears to be. While you have written the conditions right, your brush strokes messed with the keying system and both sealing and unsealing are now set to the hand-sign of 'seal.'"
"So…let's do it this way. You need to practice calligraphy first and be decent at it. And then you'll practice writing the seal without sealing anything into it. A week later, we'll do this again. Got it?" Jiraiya said.
"Well, seems like it will be a lot of trying." Naruto said almost sighing.
Jiraiya smiled fondly: "The Seer Toad had a strange quote when it came to teaching: 'No. No trying. DO or DO NOT…there is no try.'"
Naruto stared blankly: "…What the hell does that even mean?"
Jiraiya shrugged: "I don't know. Gamamaru used that expression a lot, said he got it from one of his 'Vision Buddies' that he could sometimes converse with in his visions…that old toad always struck me as having a few screws loose. Apparently…Seers have an issue of their 'sight beyond sight' not always just glimpsing the future but also the past and present and even all three of other worlds. Not sure if I actually believe that but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt…plus Gamamaru once got high on some kind of hallucinogen back when I was a kid and started freaking out about a bunch of squares making circles. Not sure if that was the drug trip or visions or both, but if it was a vision I want to know what the hell he was seeing. But sometimes I swear he was holding conversations with people who weren't even there and he knew weren't on Myoboku but spoke out loud anyways just to freak everyone near him out. But back to what started this: my interpretation was that going into something with the mindset of 'TRYING' meant that you expected to screw up and so failed to put forth your best so 'DO' meant attempting something without that self-doubt holding you back."
Jiraiya packed up his stuff: "Well, get on doing instead of trying, I'll come check again, but I need to get back to the office."
"Being Hokage makes you that busy?" Naruto asked.
"Well, yeah, the paperwork is just that overwhelming…I swear it's the spawn of an evil god…" Jiraiya commented before muttering under his breath.
"And it can't be someone else who takes care of it, it has to be you?" Naruto asked again.
"Hmm, true. There are a lot of documents that are only meant for my eyes, others aren't authorized to see them. Yes, the Jonin commander is authorized to see most of them, but there can be some files that are above his clearance level even." Jiraiya explained.
Naruto caught sight of an ANBU woman wearing a Raven Mask who nodded before vanishing from his sight.
The toad sage then pried; "I don't think you are the type to engage in all this paperwork. Are you sure you still wanna be Hokage, gaki?" Jiraiya asked grinning a bit while Kurama grumbled but said nothing about the flippant terminology.
"Hmm…of course, I even have a solution to this paperwork problem. I won't be stuck in the office for too long 'ttebayo!" The blonde replied.
Jiraiya's eyebrow got raised. "What's that?"
"As if I would tell you for free!" Naruto grinned a foxy grin.
Jiraiya sweatdropped. Of course, he wouldn't tell just like that. "I can teach you the hiding in the shadow technique."
"Deal!"
"Then, what's your big idea?"
Naruto only showed the cross hand-sign of the shadow clone jutsu.
Jiraiya looked at him in confusion. And then his eyes widened like saucers as the realization hit him.
"HOLY SHITTTT!"
Naruto and the occupants of his brain were treated to the sight of a Jiraiya crying anime tears and banging his head on the wall repeatedly calling himself 'baka' over and over.
And as Jiraiya was finished giving himself a concussion. He clenched his fist and fires of passion burned on his eyes, reminiscent of a certain taijutsu fanatic jonin who loved to dress in green and his favourite disciple anytime they talked about youth.
"FROM THIS DAY, THE SUPER-PERVET, THE MAN AMONG MEN, THE GREAT AND GALLANT JIRAIYA WILL CARRY OUT HIS RESEARCH UNINTERRUPTED! HURRRAHHHHHH! ALL PERVERTS OF THE WORLD REJOICE! YOUR FAVOURITE AUTHOR WILL NOT DELAY ANY NEW RELEASES ANY LONGER!"
"Naru-chan…this was a pretty bad idea…" Kushina commented with a deadpan tone from the mindscape.
Minato and Kurama looked at each other. Kurama raised an eyebrow. Minato gave a few signs that signalled he weighed it as maybe 60-40 odds of it being a good idea versus a bad one, but it would be a mixed bag no matter what. Kurama hummed before ignoring everything.
At the same time, many all over the world sighed in relief for some reason with breath that they didn't even know they held, while Konoha's kunoichi felt the urge to check their surroundings and make sure that they were not being watched, especially around bathhouses. And Tsunade felt the urge to punch Jiraiya in the head.
'Well, Sorry Mom, my bad.' Naruto said mentally in apology.
"Well, it's not like he wasn't going to perv on women at bathhouses had you not told him." Kushina said sighing and shaking her head. "Jiraiya-sama, the pervy sage…he can be so annoying."
*Two days later*
Yakumo, Sakura and Ranmaru were now standing in the Hokage office, with Kurenai.
Jiraiya reviewed everything and nodded to himself. 'Just the way it should have been.'
"Hmm…Kurenai, good job. Now then, Team-8."
The three teens stepped forward.
Jiraiya continued. "This is the first genjutsu specialist team of Konoha in quite a few years. All of you have great potential with genjutsu, Yakumo and Ranmaru have bloodlines that help cast very powerful genjutsu, while Sakura has the much-needed chakra control to perform the techniques. So- in the aftermath of the Uchiha massacre, this is the first genjutsu specialist team of Konoha. I have high hopes for you. All the best."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" The three said in unison.
Kurenai bowed down. "I am grateful that you allotted me a team that I can really help build up, I won't disappoint you."
"I am certain that you won't. All the best to you as well." Jiraiya said with a small grin.
The new Team-8 left the Hokage office.
Kurenai led them straight to a training ground.
"As none of you are straight out of the academy and Ranmaru-kun still needs to be brought to a level where he can face a normal genin in combat and use basic shinobi skills, I won't be putting you to a test immediately. Instead, we will train and you three will prepare yourselves to act cohesively as a unit. Sakura, you were part of Team-7 earlier, so you have received…decent…training." Kurenai stated while trying to find a way to describe Kakashi's methods. Back during his ANBU days, he was infamous as a taskmaster who got results, but it was common knowledge that he had begun to slip ever so slightly since he left ANBU…though no one knew why he had begun to correct his slipping since Tsunade's return. Some had started a rumour that Kakashi had gotten incensed that he had been passed over for the Hokage hat for a Sannin. Whatever the truth was, Kurenai feared it was even more unbelievable.
The ghosts of Minato and Kushina simultaneously sneezed with the completion of that thought.
The pinkette nodded, somewhat unsure of herself, reminiscing how Team-7 as a whole had never performed well in any attempt at group exercises, so much that she believed that Kakashi gave up in frustration absolutely or backed off to rethink his method. But she had been the only member of the team that didn't progress to the true third phase of the exam which led to Sasuke had received one-on-one training from Kakashi while Naruto somehow managed to get the same from Jiraiya. Sakura though, she had been left to her own devices and had never progressed much beyond where she was after the Wave Mission. She was seeing how all of her classmates were progressing, and realized she was stagnated. She had some serious catching up to do.
Kurenai continued. "Yakumo, you have received training in basic shinobi skills as well. However, your physical constitution is weak. I know you have always had problems due to medical issues, but that is no longer an issue that cannot be overcome."
The brown-haired girl nodded in acknowledgement. It was true after all.
"While you more than make up for that weakness with your genjutsu prowess, you can't afford to ignore the other two basic shinobi arts or neglect basic physical ability. Chakra is our physical and spiritual energies merged together. Neglect can only lead to imbalance, and you have seen firsthand the terror that imbalance can unleash."
Yakumo briefly had the memories of her Ido, her rampant id bolstered by her frustrations and fears and given agency by her Demonic Reality with superego left completely out and thus Ido-Yakumo was able to dominate and influence Yakumo herself, come back. "I completely understand."
"And Ranmaru-kun. You are so young that you would actually have been in the academy had you been born in Konoha, but your circumstances led you to become the charge of Kurosuki Raiga, with some amount of instruction to ensure you could make use of your abilities. Therefore: it has been decided that you are to be made a ninja. However, you need to be brought up to a level in all shinobi arts that the three of you can seamlessly function as one unit."
"I am prepared." The little boy said with determination.
Kurenai smiled and nodded.
"And lastly, Sakura, the other two in our team have bloodlines that help them in weaving powerful genjutsu, you will need to put in more effort to keep up."
"I am prepared sensei." 'I want to…I have to be able to bring Sasuke-kun back to the village.'
Kurenai continued "Well, apart from genjutsu, it has been decided that you will be taking medical ninjutsu lessons from Tsunade-sama. She has expressed interest in training shinobi in medical ninjutsu, wanting to change things so each deployed squad has at least one trained medic. I suggest that you don't miss this chance."
'Training from one of the sannin! Maybe it won't be so hard to catch up after all!'
"I am ready, sensei." Sakura stated. Unaware of the hell that Tsunade could serve up.
'Is she though?' Kurenai thought to herself. For some reason, she could still sense that the girl was having an inner conflict, and it was disturbingly similar to how Yakumo was whenever she was struggling against her Ido's influence. 'She might have to overcome all her mental issues and inhibitions. She needs to overcome her fangirlish crush on Sasuke, decide whether she actually has anything serious beyond superficial interest, and then how she wants to proceed with regards to those feelings…I might have to help her out in that regard.'
The genjutsu mistress knew she had her work cut out for this team. All other teams considered; this was perhaps the weakest team.
And while Jiraiya had some reservations about letting the team participate in the upcoming chunin exams in Sunagakure, Kurenai had every intention of doing so. This was a team she could really nurture, unlike the former team-8 where all the three had specialities differing from hers. But this time it was not so. Add to it that Jiraiya himself had indicated that he would prefer for the team to participate, but only if Kurenai honestly deems them capable to take up the challenge.
She was going to work hard.
*In another part of the village, with Team-10*
Asuma glanced at the three genin before him. Ino and Choji were of course there and replacing his favourite student, Shikamaru was an equally intelligent boy, Shino Aburame. A good enough replacement by the Hokage in the former guardian ninja's view, since the Aburame heir had a similar level of intellect as Shikamaru.
The Sarutobi lit a cigarette and took a smoke.
His students stood in attention.
"Ahem. Well, it's been a little while since we have had that rather messy chunin exams. We have all been through different experiences since then. Ino and Choji: you two were part of the team dispatched to stop Sasuke. I know how hard it is to remember a failed mission but you should also understand that you learnt a lot from it."
The two teens in question nodded.
"Shino: you were part of the team sent to retrieve Tsunade-sama and then carried on to the Land of Snow where you and your group assisted in the overthrow of Doto Kazahana. I am sure you must have learnt a lot from that mission."
"Hai sensei. I agree that I was not as active in the action as say Naruto or Hinata but I learnt a lot. Why: because I was made to understand the fact I can't solely rely on the techniques of my clan and I still have room to grow beyond that and adopt new traits and learn new tricks." The stoic boy stated.
Ino and Choji stared at Shino in surprise. The words of the Aburame applied equally to them as well, since it was also a fact that they also relied heavily on the techniques of their clan.
Honestly, it applied to their entire generation outside of Naruto and Hinata. Heck Naruto problem was in reverse: Naruto lacked anyone to teach him his clan's arts until now.
Asuma eyed the two and gave a small nod to himself.
"It seems that you two also understood his message, didn't you?" Asuma asked the two.
"Hai, sensei, Shino's words gave us the wake-up call or put what we had suspicions of into words that we finally understood. We've been wondering why we were so weak…during the chunin exams and the aftermath as well. We need to learn a lot more." Choji admitted.
"I agree with Choji. I felt so useless during that retrieval mission and if it hadn't been for Shikamaru and Neji's quick thinking, we would have been dead. So, guess we have a lot to learn." Ino stated.
"Good, knowing your current limitation and what you need to do to remedy it is the best start possible. Great, with that out of the way, I need to inform you of the next piece of news I have for you. As you might have already heard, the Chunin exams are conducted twice a year. And while it has been like two months since the last one here, we are having another one scheduled in Suna in four to five months tentatively. If you wish to take part and take another shot at getting a promotion, that's fine, but I would like you all to participate anyways for a chance to get the experience. However, you three all have your work cut out, since you need to work on your teamwork and coordination while also train and diversify your jutsu arsenal."
"Provided Ino and Choji have no objections about it, I would like for us to appear in this exam." Shino commented in his monotone voice.
"I am all for giving it a go! I can't afford to be left behind!" Ino proclaimed.
"And I can't let anyone down and I don't want to be left behind either." Choji stated.
"Good, in that case, we have much work to do, let's get started on training right away." Asuma stated with a smirk.
"Hai sensei!" The three students stated at once.
The preparations were now underway, even though there was still some time before the Chunin exams in Suna rolled in, nobody was going to take it lightly.
*Sunagakure*
It's been a while since we have discussed our Suna friends. Let's see what happened to them in the aftermath of the Suna-Oto invasion.
Even before the fights were over a Suna patrol team had discovered the bodies of Rasa the 4th Kazekage and some of his aids, rotting away in a clearing near the border of the Land of Wind with the Land of Rivers.
The news had been conveyed to the forces engaged in the invasion and they ceased all hostilities and laid their arms down as soon as they had gotten the news and surrendered unconditionally to Konoha.
The Sandaime, in his last act as Hokage, was rather forgiving in the terms he set after the surrender. Not only was the alliance kept, but no hefty war reparations were demanded, only a symbolic amount of a million ryo. And a demand that Gaara's seal be reworked by Jiraiya, to which Suna readily agreed.
In the days following, Suna's council convened and decided on making Baki the acting Kazekage until an actual Kazekage was chosen. Unlike Konoha, the Kazekage up until that point had been selected from one clan. So, now it had to be one of the three children of Rasa that had to be Kazekage. Now they were finding out the hard way as to why small numbers and hereditary rule was a bad idea.
Many were in favour of Temari, but the girl immediately declined all such offers and went on to shock many when she recommended that Gaara be made the Kazekage.
Up until that point, the red-haired boy was the subject of scorn, suspicion, and mistrust among the general populace of the village. He was considered nothing less than an outright monster. While there had been no incidents about his power going out of control for years and years, nothing was enough for the populace to be readily willing to accept him. And Gaara had never made an effort to be accepted either. He was rather trained as a killing machine. Perhaps Rasa was intending to make Temari his successor, but the fan mistress-in-training was dead set on giving her late father one final 'fuck you' and make his weapon the Kazekage and a normal person.
Many were against this, but even the acting Kazekage, Baki supported the suggestion. Finally, it was decided that if Gaara could prove himself in the Chunin exams and proceed to the rank of a jonin within the next three years, he would be considered for being the Kazekage.
Gaara was undergoing major changes in personality following his fight with Naruto and the talk he got from the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, he was doing a lot of self-reflection. Acting on Naruto's advice and assurances that even he could find someone and that sudden flashback of a girl with brown hair, he had been going out, trying to locate that girl, from whom he had the hope that she could somehow help him understand himself and become a better human being.
But Gaara didn't know who she was, the recollection was quite vague. But still, he had narrowed it down to one of the newly minted genin, a girl named Matsuri. He had a very strong gut feeling that this girl was the one he had been looking for. What's more, there was this strange voice in his head telling reaffirming that. When it wasn't going on tangents about sugar and alcohol.
Gaara had a feeling he knew what this voice was. He had never drunk alcohol before so that narrowed it down to something that was separate from him.
Gaara was actually afraid as he understood that the Ichibi was talking to him for the first time. Like many: he had been made to believe that the Biju were monsters. But his idol, the one who made him a human again, had different beliefs regarding the Biju. Before leaving for home, Gaara had gotten a chance to meet Naruto very briefly. And during that short exchange, the blonde had advised him to try to understand the Biju inside him. Gaara had taken those words to heart. It was going to take some time, but he was going to start talking to his tenant.
And with all that said;
Here we have the sand siblings assembled in the Kazekage's office.
Baki began talking;
"As you all know, our village has gotten the honour of organizing the upcoming Chunin exams. I have discussed this with the Godaime Hokage and he has confirmed Konoha's participation. And as a pleasant surprise, just today, we received a letter from the Raikage, confirming Kumo's participation as well. We have sent invitations to many other smaller villages, including Taki, Ame, Hoshi, Kusa and many more and also the other great ninja villages, Kiri and Iwa, though I have little hope of their participation. Anyways, this exam is important since it is essential that Gaara succeeds this as it is a precondition to becoming the Kazekage."
"I understand…Baki-sensei." Gaara stated humbly.
His two siblings still were being surprised to some degree upon seeing this new side of their little brother, surprised pleasantly that is.
"While I declined the offer to be Kazekage, I do intend to make Chunin and eventually Jonin." Temari commented with a smirk. "Lazy ass put me on a corner and then forfeited…and then came and defeated me fair and square, outwitting me and then made chunin. It will be so annoying to be left behind, even though, I did save him back during that mission where we supported them, but still…"
"Yeah, we gotta fight the ninja of Konoha fair and square and show that we are better, this time without any hard feelings." Kankuro commented with a grin.
Baki nodded. "I like the spirit. And in the aftermath of a military defeat, a good show by our ninja would do good in restoring our image in the shinobi world. Make sure to give your very best." The half-veiled man stated. "I will make sure to organize a good and tough Chunin exams." He mumbled to himself as the sand siblings exited the office.
Things were looking bright in the Village Hidden in the Sands
-END-
E/N: nothing really to say. Finished editing this while listening to Rubixraptor play Barotrauma(god I love that game, all the chaos of Among Us with even more action)…oh right the other review.
Dragon Man 180: To be honest we had no plans of Sasuke versus Deathclaws…but you might have just changed that. I project that Part 1 Sasuke would get folded in half by them while Part 2 Sasuke would turn them into a pair of reptile skin boots. Thanks for the compliment regarding the Roy Mustang reference, though I doubt we will reprise it. There is such a thing as playing a joke too often to the point that it stops being a joke and that is why Jiraiya and DB's Master Roshi work while MHA's Minoru Mineta doesn't.
A/N: And done! Well, as you can see, it was another transitional chapter that highlighted how the reformed teams are going to progress. Soon enough we will be hitting a minor arc and then we will be proceeding to a major arc.
Also, once again, thank you very much for your continued love and support. See ya'll in the next chapter. Cheers and peace.
RaNK001 out.
