Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki
this wiki
The Ten-Tails Revival Arc spans from chapter 593 to the current. It covers the climax of the Fourth Shinobi World War and the revival of the Ten-Tails, which Tobi and Madara Uchiha plan to use for their Eye of the Moon Plan. This arc is preceded by the Shinobi World War Arc.
The Return of Familiar Faces
Despite Suigetsu giving several vehement and somewhat manic reasons why not to revive Orochimaru, Sasuke is resigned to his decision. Moving to execute Sasuke's orders, Jūgo retrieves some of Kabuto's DNA using his Sage Transformation abilities, much to Suigetsu's disgust. After Jūgo places DNA on Anko's Cursed Seal of Heaven, Sasuke uses the Evil Releasing Method to revive Orochimaru as his conscious remnants exit Anko and regenerate his body from the sample. Retreating behind Kabuto as Orochimaru emerges, Suigetsu sheepishly greets his former captor, who notes that he was abreast of the situation having been able to observe everything from within Anko, further shocking them when he tells them he has no interest in the war that was currently going on. And instead, still had his sights set on Sasuke's body, but was unable to steal it in his current state. Showing him the scroll he was given, Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he want to hear everything from the source, leading Orochimaru to question him if he has wavered from his path of revenge, to which Sasuke denies. Moving over to the immobile Kabuto — which prompts Suigetsu to run to the other side of the cave — Orochimaru drains Kabuto of his chakra, causing Kabuto to revert to original self. Noting to himself that Sasuke had changed since he last saw him, Orochimaru beckons him to follow him to a place he himself knows well.
While analysing the situation before them, the Naruto, Killer B, Might Guy and Kakashi are told by Tobi to bare witness to the beginning of the end once the Ten-Tails is fully revived. Confused that Tobi would be able to do this, Kakashi notes that the war was all for the sake of preventing Akatsuki from attaining the Eight and Nine-Tails and since they still had the beasts, wonders whether Tobi was lying. Remembering what Tobi had said and then the fact that they had used a clone made from its chakra to evade Taka, Gyūki reminds B of this who then notifies his comrades. Speaking to Naruto directly, Kurama notes that its chakra was also present in the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jōhei which the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had consumed and asks Naruto to let him speak through the boy to personally reveal what it knows to the others. As the fox explains the story behind the two Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths, the Gold and Silver Brothers and how they had come to attain its chakra after which Kakashi corroborates his story with the intel received from headquarters. With this, Kakashi declares that he would like them to do something before the beast is revived leading Tobi to retort that because Kakashi always spoke so easily, it had led him to live a life full of regret shocking both Kakashi and leading Guy to question Tobi once again, on who he was. Rebuffing this, Tobi told Guy it would make no sense to tell him because he didn't remember faces. Interjecting, Kurama tells them that as Kakashi said, now was the only time to do something about the situation as the Sage of the Six Paths had told them that the revival of the Ten-Tails signalled the end of the world. Answering Naruto's questioning of the Ten-Tails' power, Kurama tells him of the beast's might and the fact that amongst all the names it was known by it was also seen as the progenitor of all that existed in the world. The beast then goes on to state that though even it alone would stand no chance against the beast, it may be possible since Tobi did not possess all of the Eight-Tails and its own chakra. Tobi however rebuffs this stating that he only needed the beast to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the world. Switching back with Kurama, Naruto declares his dreams to Tobi with Guy, Kakashi and even B (who disclaims female attributes he values, much to the Eight-Tails' shock) rally behind him. As Tobi launches into another speech, Naruto enters his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and attempts to land a high-speed Rasengan attack on the statue, but Tobi blocks it with his gunbai prompting Naruto to state that it seems as though he would really have to bash Tobi's mask. Tobi responds noting that there was one thing he could not part with and then declares that he would not let them touch the statue.
Formulating their strategy as Naruto produces a shadow clone, the shinobi agree that the use of feint attacks would be crucial in this battle because of Tobi's abilities. Moving directly towards Tobi, Naruto uses the Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball while Kakashi asks B to hoist him into the air as he activates his Mangekyō Sharingan. Deciding that it was best to avoid direct contact Guy takes out his pair of Sōshūga. Tobi, wielding his gunbai is able to stave off Naruto's attacks but ultimately has a harder time at things once Guy joins the fray. Using his nunchaku to counter Tobi's gunbai, Guy is able to sent the masked man throttling towards Naruto and his Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball. Using that opportunity, Kakashi activates Kamui with the intention of ripping the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's neck off. However, the statue — which by this time was bleeding from the eyes and metamorphosing — is seeming able to nullify the attack which confused Kakashi greatly. As Naruto's attack is about to make contact, Tobi teleports prompting Naruto to sense his intent to anticipate Tobi emerging from the ground in a surprise attack. Dodging the initial attack, Naruto, now separated from the others, has a harder time blocking Tobi's gunbai. Kakashi imbues a kunai with the Lightning Release and once again calls out to B. Launching him across the battlefield, Kakashi easily cuts through a rock that separated him from Naruto and then launches the kunai at Tobi. Forced to become intangible, but not one to give up so easily, Tobi changed the trajectory of the kunai and sends it hurtling towards Naruto. Telling him to ignore the kunai, Kakashi uses Kamui once again to warp the kunai away. Regrouping as the last attack seemingly fails to land, the shinobi wonder how they were going to defeat Tobi. Just then a tiny crack appears on Tobi's mask.
Noticing a slight crack on Tobi's mask, Guy and Naruto thought that Naruto's last attack had actually hit the mask; however Kakashi disagrees, noting that the type of crack was by a sharper object as he remembered the kunai he warped away with Kamui. As Kakashi came up with a hypothesis on Tobi's ability, Tobi erects a barrier to thwart B's chance strike the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in midst of its transformation into the Ten-Tails. Once figuring figured out a possible way to attack Tobi, Kakashi details his plans to the others. With B launching them directly at Tobi, Guy starts off unleashing his Sōshūga only for Tobi to avoid it using his dematerialisation ability and predicting Guy's moves with his Sharingan. As a result, Guy loses the Sōshūga and steps away from Tobi's front. Naruto then follows up quickly by launching a Rasengan, which is avoided easily by Tobi, who keeps insisting on the futility of the strategy. However, the Rasengan seemingly disperses before reaching Tobi, followed by a sudden explosion that hits his right shoulder. After being hurled away, the masked man uses his gunbai to stand back up. Tobi then realised that the attack was transported to his right arm, using Kamui, just as he was about to materialise. Realising Tobi's ability now, Kakashi notes that Tobi was not using two separate techniques to dematerialise and warp things away, but a single technique.
Urging Kakashi to explain it in the simplest way possible so that they could readjust their strategy, Guy and the others listen on as Kakashi explains that Tobi's ability to become intangible and absorb things were one and the same. He then explains that when he makes himself intangible, what Tobi actually does is to warp away the part of his body that was being attacked to the other dimension; so while it existed there, all attacks would simply phase through his body. However, since Kamui shares the same dimension, the lightning-enhanced kunai that Kakashi warped away, passed through the "intangible" part of Tobi's body and ended up in the other dimension and scratched the part of his body that was sent there in order to make him appear intangible. When questioned by B how their two techniques were linked to the same dimension, a hesitant Guy began to question Kakashi but the latter cuts across him to ask Tobi directly where he got the Sharingan from. Responding, Tobi reveals he obtained his right Sharingan eye during the previous war at Kannabi Bridge the moment that Kakashi became recognised as the "Hero of the Sharingan" (写輪眼の英雄, Sharingan no Eiyū). With Kakashi left speechless by the revelation, Tobi belittles him while perpetrating the Eye of the Moon Plan as the right move for humanity. However, Naruto still refuses to accept Tobi's goal with the intent of not giving up his dreams. Having its jinchūriki let it speak through him to chastise their opponent as well, Kurama tells Tobi that it was entrusted to Naruto, who had befriended him, for the express reason to stop Tobi. Spurred onward, Naruto enters his Tailed Beast Mode and charges at Tobi.
Charging forward, Naruto attacks Tobi using a giant chakra arms which Tobi simply phases through, chiding the boy of thinking that he could defeat him on his own. As Guy tries to snap Kakashi out the shock brought on from Tobi's revelation, they see the masked man send three giant shuriken hurtling towards Naruto from the other dimension. Catching two of them on his tentacles, one of B and Gyūki's tentacles is cut by the third but is stopped by Naruto who retorts Tobi's earlier remark by telling he's never truly alone as he has Kurama and the others supporting him. Now motivated by Guy to act, Kakashi notes that he had to time the next use of his Kamui perfectly, despite Tobi chastising his "borrowed power" and stated intentions of showing him Kamui's true potential.
Acting immediately, Tobi jumps into the air and sends out a number of chakra receivers which pierce B and Gyūki. Warning Naruto not to let them touch him as it sealed off the tailed beasts' power, Naruto creates a shadow clone while being protected by Gyūki. While a clone charged forward with the Rasengan, the original prepared the Tailed Beast Ball. As the clone prepares to attack, Kakashi seemingly warps away the Rasengan again while Tobi — seeing the same attack pattern — decides to attack the clone with one of the stakes, rather than having him go through him. With the clone seemingly dispelled, Tobi phases through the Tailed Beast Ball, and fully enters the other dimension. There, Tobi is shocked to see Naruto and realises that Kakashi had warped the clone there to wait for him. Declaring that he had nowhere to run, Naruto slams the Rasengan into Tobi's face, shattering the mask with Naruto asking his enemy who he is.
With memories of their old friend from their days at the Academy to Chūnin Exams and later the former's promotion to jōnin, Kakashi and Guy recognise the face of the unmasked ninja to be that of their old comrade Obito Uchiha. Shocked by this revelation, Kakashi and Guy started asking the once masked man whether he truly was Obito, but upon seeing his Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi noted that there was now no doubt about it. However, Obito reiterated his point that it was insignificant what they called him, and all that mattered to him was his Eye of the Moon Plan. Kakashi had a flashback to the time when Obito died, and then asked whether he had survived the cave in. This led Naruto to ask them who the person in front of them was. Guy answered that he was a former classmate of theirs who supposedly died during the Third Shinobi World War. Kakashi, still in shock, asked Obito that if he had survived then why had he not made this fact known until now. Obito retorts that whether he survived or not was unimportant. However, if Kakashi really had to have an answer to why Obito had done what he did, it was simply because Kakashi had let Rin die. Even more devastated by this response, Kakashi asked him if he was going to blame him for it. Obito answered that he did not see any point in blaming this "useless" reality which would "disappear" soon enough.
Naruto tried to rally his sensei, telling him that right now, Obito's plan needed to be stopped and that he would listen to the story later. Obito used the Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance technique sending a giant vortex of flames towards his opponents. Kakashi, unable to register what was happening, simply stood there despite Guy calling out to him. Naruto, however, intercepted the attacks with Kurama's tails. Before any side could act further, they were interrupted by Madara's appearance on their battlefield. Standing beside the younger Uchiha, the legendary shinobi remarked that Obito seemed to be having fun, much to the onlookers' surprise as they wonder what had happened to the Kage.
Madara casually replies that the Kage are "not doing so well", each having been critically wounded in their attempts to stop him. Obito returns the gunbai to Madara, which he uses to block a volley of chakra receivers Naruto sends flying at them and repel Naruto's Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball. All the while he lectures Obito, both for initiating the Ten-Tails' revival before capturing the Eight and the Nine-Tails and for reincarnating him through the Impure World Reincarnation instead of using Nagato's Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique as planned. He decides to make the best of the situation and moves to capture the Eight and the Nine-Tails in hopes to seal them in Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with the time they have left, leaving Guy and Kakashi to Obito. Kakashi takes this opportunity to question Obito about what happened to him.
Obito's Resolve
Obito has a flashback of being found and rescued by an ageing Madara after the events of the Kannabi Bridge. Madara tended to his injuries and, though he had to amputate Obito's arm, he restored it and the damaged half of his body with parts from a Zetsu. Obito was grateful for Madara's help but was adamant about returning to his team-mates: Kakashi and Rin. Time passed as he recovered and began to rehabilitate under the watch of two Zetsus: White Zetsu and a spiral-faced Zetsu. One day, White Zetsu returned to the hideout and alerted Obito that his comrades were in danger, surrounded by Kirigakure shinobi. With the aid of the spiral-faced Zetsu forming a suit to reduce his physical limitations, Obito rushed to help them. Upon arrival, he found Kakashi's hand running through Rin's chest. As Rin died, it caused Obito's Sharingan and the one he gave to Kakashi to become Mangekyō Sharingan. While Kakashi passed out, an enraged Obito slaughtered the Kirigakure ninja. He looked upon Rin's dead body and, devastated by her death, concluded he must be in hell.
This events changed Obito and gave him resolve to change fate by destroying the world and create a new one where Rin still lives. Remembering the Zetsus' discussion over Madara's plans to create just such a world, Obito decides to become Madara's apprentice to achieve that goal. Over time, Madara imparted Obito with all that he knew: the legend of the Sage of the Six Paths, the Eye of the Moon Plan, and all the necessary steps to bring the plan to fruition. He then infused White Zetsu with a part of his mind, completing his creation with the Black Zetsu persona. Madara then took himself off of life support, dying so that he might be brought back at the planned juncture. Left with Madara's name to take as his own, with Zetsu by his side, Obito spent the following decades setting the pieces in place with his meeting with Nagato who was vital to Madara's resurrection. Inspired to cause the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha after overhearing Kakashi, Obito fully embraces his new ideals when he confronted his former mentor Minato Namikaze.
Kakashi vs. Obito
In present time, when Madara attempts to have him see things his way, Naruto declares that he is Minato's son and would not be persuaded by him. Noting that he was being lenient because Naruto was a true jinchūriki, declares no longer hold back. Creating an enormous wooden dragon, he notes that it had been used by Hashirama Senju in the past to bound the Nine-Tails, which prompts Naruto to manifest Kurama's body in Tailed Beast Mode to fight it. Asking Obito why he chose to follow someone like Madara, the Uchiha notes that all that was left was for him and Kakashi to have their final battle as he had nothing left to say to him.
Obito and Kakashi continue their battle, with the former unleashing a barrage of shuriken only to be stopped by Kakashi's wall of earth. As Obito slips through the wall, Kakashi continues to ask him why and to ask him if it is related to Rin, to which Obito tells him to shut up. Obito then warps Kakashi to the other dimension, but his victory is short lived, as Kakashi returns using Kamui. In the meantime, Madara's Wood Dragon begins absorbing Kurama's chakra, causing Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode to falter. Obito begins to overwhelm Kakashi, bringing him to his knees. Madara uses Wood Release to bind Killer B and Might Guy, then begins to activate his Susanoo to finish things up on the battlefield. Resolved, Naruto notes that the Uchiha's ideals annoyed him to no end and, creating a shadow clone, he is able to stop both Obito's shuriken and Madara's Susanoo Sword from making killing blows on Kakashi and Guy. Hearing Naruto's words that he would protect his friends, Kakashi and Guy both spring into action with the former using Lightning Cutter to destroy Obito's other shuriken and Guy using Daytime Tiger to attack Madara. Turning to his former friend, Kakashi tells Obito that he still remembered what he had taught him in the past and what he could do now, was protect Naruto.
As Obito questions Kakashi's resolve, the Copy Ninja's sentiments are echoed by Guy who is severely weakened. Seeing this, Gyūki notes that all Konoha-nin liked to act tough before taking advantage of the loosened grip of its wooden restraints and warning Naruto that the Wood Release binding could suppress a tailed beasts power. Obito uses his own wood technique to attempt to restrain Naruto while he attacked Kakashi, but is sent reeling by Naruto's intercepting headbutt. Gyūki then decides to attack the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before its transformation into the Ten-Tails is complete, leaving Obito to Naruto. Naruto declares that he can see Obito's suffering face, though Obito counters by saying it is Kakashi who is truly suffering. As Naruto notes that he had to do something for Kakashi who was worn out, Kurama switches places with Naruto and throws the Copy Ninja at Obito. Though he warps Kakashi to the other dimension, Obito learns too late that Kurama revitalised Kakashi with its chakra so he can attack Obito in the other dimension whenever he uses Kamui to dodge Naruto's attacks. With Obito wounded as Kakashi returns to the real world, Naruto joins Killer B in combining their Tailed Beast Balls to create a massive sphere to fire it on the barrier containing the Demonic Statue. After the explosion, they note that the statue's chakra vanishes, causing Kakashi to question whether this is the end. However, the revived Ten-Tails appears from the clearing smoke, prompting Obito to declare that it is was indeed the end of this world. Elsewhere, though disappointed that the Eight and Nine-Tails were not captured in time, a recovered Madara notes that they should begin their plan.
The Allied Shinobi Forces vs. The Ten-Tails
Shocked to the see the Ten-Tails before them, Naruto surmises that they must have been tricked as he was unable to sense the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's malevolent chakra. However, Kurama tells the young man that it was impossible to sense the beast in the Tailed Beast Mode as the beast had neither feelings nor ideals and was akin to natural energy and that using Sage Mode to sense how powerful it was would be a different matter. Meanwhile, Obito and Madara relocate atop the beast at it attaches its tendrils onto them. Obito notes that he would like to commence the plan immediately, but Madara is more in favour of testing out the beast's power. As Naruto's attempt to gauge the Ten-Tails' power in Sage Mode ends in Naruto realising that it was indeed truly immeasurable, Kurama asks Gyūki to hand him Might Guy and Kakashi so he could restore their chakra. Taking command, Kurama devises a battle strategy to face the beast launching a continuous stream of Tailed Beast Balls, which culminates with Gyūki seemingly being decimated by the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, but it was later revealed that Kakashi had warped it away while being launched by Naruto along with the latter's clone overhead the Ten-Tails where Kakashi released Gyūki to aim a Tailed Beast Ball. But the attack was flicked back at him, leaving Naruto's shadow clone and Kakashi open for an attack. After the clone successfully pushes Kakashi out of the way, Obito reflects on how much Naruto was like himself before the Ten-Tails' attack disperses the shadow clone and sends Gyūki flying.
At their limits, Kurama and Gyūki tell Naruto and B to buy them some time while they generate more chakra for use. As the opposition notices this, and his team-mates already somewhat incapacitated, Naruto prepares to create more shadow clones which Madara chides him for, calling him incompetent. Kakashi also echoes these sentiments and Obito goes on to explain to Naruto that numbers will not change anything as he laments that all shinobi like the youth are powerless and would eventually become like him one day. This causes Naruto to lash out at Obito once again stating his dream to become Hokage which leads Obito to tell him that he would make him the Hokage inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi as he has the Ten-Tails prepare to fire a Tailed Beast Ball to obliterate Naruto and his allies in one blow.
However, when the Ten-Tails fires its Tailed Beast Ball at them, the shinobi are shocked to realise that the beast had missed. Just then, from above, Ino, Hinata, Hiashi and a few others arrive and it is revealed that Ino was able to shift the blast after taking control of Obito for a split second. Immediately, the Aburame use the Insect Jamming Technique, and the Kirigakure-nin shroud the battlefield in mist to stop them from being sensed. Shortly after this, the entire Allied Shinobi Forces arrive at the battlefield, causing the Sensing System Technique bubble to distort, and Naruto announces that they were no longer a disorderly crowd before announcing a new technique — The Ninja Alliance Technique, which is the strongest technique that ever existed in the shinobi world and that it could win against the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Despite the swell in numbers of their opponents, Madara and Obito note that their efforts were still futile and that even after this war, history would only repeat itself and they would end up in this very same predicament. Naruto chastises them both noting that when there was a difference of opinion in a group, the majority vote beats all. Accepting his premise, Obito simply notes that they would make their decision after exterminating the majority: The Alliance itself. Using this time Shikaku, through Inoichi's telepathic ability, is able to relay the strategy he had formulated with the entire Alliance. With this, the Alliance launch their strategy, the first attempt to slow down their targets by blinding them which was executed by the Kumo-nin with C and a few others using the Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar technique followed by Darui and other Storm Release bearers using the Storm Release: Laser Circus technique. Secondly the Suna-nin use the Wind Release: Air Current Wild Dance to manipulate the dust from the previous attack to obscure their opponent's vision once again, adding it to what remains of the Insect Jamming Technique and Hiding in Mist Technique from earlier to completely impair the opponents' sensory skills. Following this, Kitsuchi and a group of Iwa-nin sink the beast into a hole allowing his daughter and other Lava Release bearers to cover the beast in quicklime which was mixed with water by the Kiri-nin. Finishing off, members of the Konoha Sarutobi clan hardened the mixture using Fire Release. This leads Madara to state how surprised he was that shinobi from different countries were able to pull off such a perfect combination. Shikaku informs them that they have to defeat Madara and Obito while the Ten-Tails was still restrained recommending the Logistical Support and Medical Division to coordinate with Naruto to exploit Obito's weakness and telling all shinobi who were skilled in taijutsu to deal with Madara.
As various shinobi as well as techniques bear down on the two Uchiha, Madara realises that they were being targeted this time. He notes, however, that in order to do that, the Alliance would have had to stop the Ten-Tails first. With this, a powerful blast sends the incoming shinobi flying away and the fully-matured Ten-Tails emerges from the pit. While the medical teams move out to tend to the injured, Shikaku, Inoichi, Ao and the others discuss what was happening on the battlefield. Now finding it even harder to control the beast, Obito and Madara use Hashirama's cells in order to fortify their control over the beast as the former agrees with the legendary Uchiha that it was time they showed the Allied Shinobi Forces true despair. As the beast fires off a Tailed Beast Ball, Kitsuchi is able to deflect its course using Earth Release underfoot the beast. A second Tailed Beast Ball is launched which detonates in a nearby lake and a third which Hiashi notes, destroys an entire town in an instant. Initially believing that the towns where the civilians were, was now unsafe, the fourth Tailed Beast Ball which is launched is noted to be heading straight for HQ as Shikaku surmised. As Inoichi asks for directives, Shikaku tells him that the only thing they could do was what they were assigned to until the very end, and for what appears to be the final time, Inoichi patches Shikaku through to the entire Alliance as the genius Nara passes on his final strategy to defeat the enemy. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Madara exclaims that they were finally able to get them with the Tailed Beast Ball, justifying the deaths of the Alliance's "head" was a simple war tactic.
Though Chōji tries to console him over his father's death, Shikamaru reminds him and Ino that they are in the middle of a war and must focus on carrying out Shikaku's final strategy. Only Naruto was unaware of Inoichi and Shikaku's deaths with the others' attempt to explain interrupted by the Ten-Tails resuming its attack. Leaping into action, Neji and Hiashi are able to deflect the beast's attack with everyone beginning to praise the Hyūga clan. Hiashi tells Naruto that he must focus in this fight while explaining to him that death is a possibility in war, adding that Shikaku and Inoichi were willingly to die for their children. Neji echoes his uncle's sentiments, referring to his own father's sacrifice, before he, Hiashi, and Hinata state their intent to protect Naruto to their last breath.
Meanwhile atop the Ten-Tails, which is slowly resisting their control, Madara and Obito discuss how to proceed with their plan. However, as he is only an reanimated corpse and can not become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, Madara needs Obito to sacrifice himself to become a living being once more. Taking advantage of his ancestor's dilemma, and wanting to put the Allied Shinobi Forces in further despair, Obito has the Ten-Tails attack again. As the attacks are being deflected by the Hyūga, Kitsuchi builds his chakra in preparation to use his signature technique. With the beast's hand itself bearing down on the group, Hiashi uses the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm to deflect it. The beast then uses a pin-point attack which Hiashi realises they could not deflect in time. As Hinata throws out her arms to protect Naruto, Neji actually intercepts the attack. Naruto calls for the medics, Neji notes that it was already too late and that he will die within minutes. As Hiashi looks on in horror and Hinata cries openly, Naruto questions why a genius from the Hyūga clan would throw away his life for him, and Neji, who notes that he finally understood his father's feelings, states that it was for that exact reason that he did it: because Naruto called him a genius and that he choose to die for those he cares for. With this, the Byakugan-sealing juinjutsu on Neji's forehead disappears, confirming his death. Taking delight in Naruto being shocked, Obito attempts to shatter Naruto's self-confidence and drag him in his way of thinking.
However, Hinata slaps Naruto out of it while telling him that if his life is connected with everyone who shared his beliefs and are willingly to sacrificed themselves for him, he should not give in to despair and have Neji die in vain. By that time, as Killer B manages to cripple the Ten-Tails by lodging his Tailed Beast Ball into its mouth as it is about to fire, Naruto thanks Hinata for staying by his side and takes her hand while entering Tailed Beast Mode. Infusing some of Kurama's chakra into Hinata's body, Naruto creates shadow clones to do the same with the rest of their allies.
Empowered by Kurama's chakra with their attacks strengthen, the Allied shinobi fight back with Akimichi clan members restraining some of the Ten-Tails' tails. Remembering their fathers' final words, Ino takes over Obito's body to veer his attempted Wood Release technique off course before Shikamaru leds his Nara clan kinsmen in restraining the Ten-Tails. By that time, Team Guy make their way to the deceased Neji with Rock Lee mourning his friend's death. Despite Obito mocking Guy's words of comfort of keeping those in your heart as a curse, Kakashi and Naruto rebuff this notion, the latter telling Obito that ninja are meant to endure such pain and will keep Neji in his heart even if it becomes an actual curse. As Naruto infuses Lee with some its chakra, Kurama ponders his jinchūriki's ability to match his own chakra with that of the different shinobi and considered the youth to have surpassed his parents. Though Madara decides to help Obito in breaking the Nara clan's restrains, they are respectively severed from the Ten-Tails's tendrils by Lee and Naruto before the Uchiha are forced to the ground.
The Past Revealed
Elsewhere in Konoha, though sensing Naruto's chakra as it was being given, Sasuke instructs Suigetsu and Jūgo to press onwards with Orochimaru before they arrive to the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple. Though it was actually a detour, Orochimaru took one of the masks with Suigetsu unnerved by Orochimaru's choosing. After Sasuke breaks away from the group to survey the village from a high point, he and his group arrive to their destination: the remains of the ruined Naka Shrine. There, Orochimaru dons the mask which invokes the Shinigami as it binds itself to him.
While explaining his actions, Orochimaru slashes the Shinigami's stomach open to release the souls of those it had consumed. Though the act mortally wounded him, Orochimaru regained his hands so he can now use Impure World Reincarnation as he has Jūgo use his natural energy to activate the six Zetsu spores Obito had planted on Sasuke to monitor him. With two held down by Jūgo and Suigetsu, before transferring his being into the latter's restrained White Zetsu, Orochimaru uses the remaining four as sacrifices to reincarnate the ones Sasuke needs his answers from: Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze.
After the Senju brothers are formally introduced to Minato and learned of their blood relative Tsunade serving as the current Hokage, they and Hiruzen believed they were all brought back by Orochimaru in another scheme to destroy Konoha before he clarifies his reasons for bringing them back to life. Shocked of Orochimaru's reason and that Sasuke knows the full story of the Uchiha clan massacre, Hiruzen reveals that everything the youth has learned up to this moment is true. Not surprised, Tobirama berates the Uchiha clan until Orochimaru points that his actions in life set them down that path by placing them in charge of the Konoha Military Police Force and separating them from the rest of Konoha. When Hashirama demanded why his brother did it, Tobirama explains that the Uchiha treasured love above all else and that through the despair of losing someone dear they gain the Sharingan and eventually evolve them. However, using Madara and the love he had for his brother as an example, Tobirama reveals that the same despair can also madden the user. He concludes that all had he done was an attempt to use the Uchiha's cursed heritage in a positive way and cannot be blamed their self destructive nature. Hearing enough, Sasuke turns his attention to Hashirama to ask him what the meaning behind the village and ninja is so they he can determine if any of it is worth sparing. Against Tobirama's protests, having sensed his rival being also reincarnated, Hashirama tells Sasuke of his history with Madara Uchiha in an effort to save the youth from his old friend's fate by telling him his ideals.
Beginning his story at the Warring States Period, the time before the shinobi villages were established, Hashirama reveals that he and Madara met as children. Though enemies by birth due to their family feud, Hashirama befriended Madara as they dreamed of an ideal system where everyone could live in peace. However, when their families learned of their secret meetings, Madara severed his ties to Hashirama and became his enemy despite his former friend's pleas. Time passes and both Hashirama and Madara became leaders of their respective clans. Though Hashirama continued to revisit their plans of peace to him as he lost his entire family in the conflict, Madara remained reluctant to end the bloodshed before accepting it when Hashirama demonstrated how strong his resolve for peace was. Soon after, Konoha was formed, and despite his intent to make Madara their leader, Hashirama became Hokage by popular vote. Although he trusted Hashirama, Madara feared that a day would come where Konoha would be led by people like Tobirama, who distrusted the Uchiha. Therefore, leaving Konoha, Madara created what he considered a true method of achieving peace. However, this required Madara to capture Kuruma and use its power to wipe out Konoha. This resulted in the epic battle between Hashirama and Madara that created the Valley of the End and was thought to be where Madara died. Although he regretted killing Madara, his friend of so many years, Hashirama concludes by stating his notion of ninja as one who strive for their dreams yet may become an entirely different person in the process.
With his story done, Hashirama asks Sasuke if he would accept his ideals or continue embracing Madara's views of the world. Sasuke responds that his brother, Itachi, shared Hashirama's dreams for a unified Konoha and died protecting it. Because Madara's plan means the complete abandonment of this, Sasuke decides to fight to save what meant so much to Itachi. Orochimaru decides to join him out of curiosity, as does Karin, who tracked Sasuke down and immediately forgives his previous attempt to kill her. The Hokage, though earlier restrained by Orochimaru so that they would not run off to join in the war, are now given the freedom to do so. Each standing upon their own face on the Hokage Monument, the Hokage voice their eagerness to get things started, Minato in particular delighted that he will finally meet his son and promises to make up for not being there with a huge surprise.
Team 7 Returns
Having been disconnected from the Ten-Tails, Madara and Obito begin attacking. Naruto manipulates the chakra cloaks he gave the Alliance and protects them as he engages Obito in a fight while debating whose values truly matter. As Madara shivers with delight upon sensing the reincarnated Hashirama's chakra, the Ten-Tails breaks free from Kitsuchi's earth restrains, and begins to act on its destructive impulses. Kakashi tries to warp it away, but is pulled into a fight with Obito as both are sucked into the other dimension while the Ten-Tails' power creates multiple natural disasters all over the battlefield. As the Nine-Tails' chakra shrouds disappear after protecting the Shinobi Alliance from the worst of the Ten-Tails' attack, the monster reacts to the sight of Naruto with the tailed beasts and the Sage of the Six Paths's silhouette around him, the shinobi form a defensive line to give Sakura time to heal Naruto. Madara notes his growing disinterest in the battle and that another awaits him.
Within the other dimension, Kakashi and Obito continue their battle with Kakashi stopping just short of driving his Lightning Cutter through Obito's heart. Obito is surprised to find Kakashi hesitating and asks if he is wracked with guilt for not keeping his promise. Still wanting to save Obito, realising his friend's malice towards Naruto is based on not wanting to be rejected by the boy he once was, Kakashi explains to him that he can still be that person again. But Obito laughed, and phased through Kakashi's technique. Effectively recreating the scene how Kakashi had impaled Rin, Obito reveals that he knows why Rin died and notes that he did not wage a war just because of her death and Kakashi's inability to keep his promise to protect her, but because of the hell that the villages and their shinobi put him through made him empty and devoid of almost all feeling. When offered a place in the Eye of the Moon Plan, Kakashi questions Obito if the delusion would truly fill the hole in his heart and, stating from experience, that states his intent of not letting Obito's discarded ideals go to waste.
Back in the real world, having seen the tailed beasts inside Naruto, the Ten-Tails is violently reacting to their presence by transforming once again while charging its attack. As it charges a devastating Tailed Beast Ball, Shikamaru comes up with a plan of using all the remaining members of the alliance to create lots of weaker earthen walls to redirect the attack with Gyūki's assistance. After consulting with Kitsuchi, and having Ino pass the info about, Shikamaru has Killer B take point. As Sakura rallies their forces while healing Naruto, the Shinobi Alliance carries out the plan to hinder the Ten-Tails' attack. However, despite B's support, the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball was about to breach until it was sent to the sea by the recently reincarnated Minato just as he arrived. Once explaining himself, Minato muses over Sakura's similarity to Kushina as the other Hokage arrive. Madara gets giddy at the sight of Hashirama as the First Hokage states he will deal with the Ten-Tails first as he and his successors use Four Red Suns Battle Encampment technique to trap the beast, with Hashirama adding an additional seal, pinning down the beast's tails.
By then, Sasuke arrives with Jūgo as the remaining members of the Konoha 11 surround Naruto. However, not caring what they think of him, Sasuke explains that he no longer wishes to destroy Konoha but to make changes to it. Stating that becoming Hokage is the only way to achieve that new goal, Sasuke gets into a minor dispute with Naruto over it before Hashirama reminds the two of their current situation. Though told to rest as they are about to join the Hokage, Sakura explains to Naruto and Sasuke that she is no longer the weak girl from a few years ago as she trained under a Sannin member like they were. This prompts Naruto to note that the Team 7 is back as they and the reformed Rookie Nine charge into battle once the Hokage's barrier is complete with the Ten-Tails unable to escape. After adding one more seal, Hashirama creates five wood clones, four to make an opening for the Allied Ninja's and one to confront Madara who decides to stand down until the original is ready. Once inside, the group find themselves facing an army of Ten-Tails clones with Sakura using what she learned from Tsunade to wipe out some of the creatures, much to her team-mates' shock before they save her when she momentarily left her guard down. The rest of the Rookie Nine follow suit by displaying their own newly mastered abilities: Kiba's Human Beast Mixture Transformation: Three-Headed Wolf, Shino's Parasitic Giant Insect Bug Bite and Team Asuma's Ino–Shika–Chō "Formation E" Human Bullet Yo-Yo. Even Sai joins the fray though ends up being saved by Naruto.
With the number of the Ten-Tails' clones having an advantage over the Allied Shinobi Forces, Sai points out the only way to beat the Ten-Tails is to defeat its largest extension to get close enough to it. Though the attempt is risky and could be fatal, Naruto has a solution as he summons Gamabunta but finds a large Gamakichi aiding him instead. Sasuke and Sakura have a similar conclusion and follow suit by summoning Aoda, in place of the deceased Manda, and Katsuyu respectively. As Sakura has Katsuyu provide aid to the Shinobi Alliance's wounded, Naruto and Sasuke use their summons to fight through to the Ten-Tails. Once there, glad to have Sasuke as an ally again, Naruto combines his Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken with Sasuke's Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi to land a blow on the Ten-Tails. While Naruto and Kuruma were intent to extract the tail beasts inside the Ten-Tails, Sasuke is intent to incinerate the monster in its entirely before it severed a burning piece of its body with no intention of going peacefully.
Elsewhere, Orochimaru arrives with Suigetsu and Karin to where Tsunade and the other Kage are after their near fatal defeat by Madara. Using death threats to get their compliance, Orochimaru has Suigestu use his unique physiology to repair Tsunade's bifurcated body while Karin aids in healing the Fifth Hokage with the fragment of Katsuyu she summoned prior. After a brief conversation over Orochimaru's change of heart, Tsunade and the other healed Kage are briefed on battle by Katsuyu and make preparations to head to the battlefield. Meanwhile, in the other dimension, the conflict between Kakashi and Obito continues with both inflicting wounds on the other.

WASHINGTON – The first of January is a two-fold celebration in America this year: It's the start of a new year and the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the document that initiated the end of slavery in 1863.
To commemorate the date, the National Archives and Records Administration displayed pages 3 and 5 of the document for three days only, starting Dec. 31 and ending Jan. 1.
In addition, the United States Postal Service has unveiled a new Forever stamp that contains some of the words from the document.
Lincoln's faded signature and that of his Secretary of State, William Seward, are visible along with the Seal of the United States.
The document is rarely displayed as part of the effort to preserve it, says Katherine Nicholson, the Archives Conservation Lab deputy director.
"We've been very careful and limiting display in the last few decades," she says. "We want it to be readable by future generations."
Many historians say only the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States have had as great an impact on human life in America as the proclamation.

Every successful sports season is filled with major moments of critical importance, and this year's Rocklin High football team has delivered many signature moments.
With so many to choose from, it is hard to select even a top three for this week's poll question. In the interest of getting a dialogue going, we are going to try, and ask you to pick one of these three by going to www.placersports.com or go to the bottom of that page and tell us about one of your own.
The most obvious choice came in the closing seconds of the game against Grant, when the Thunder defense pulled off a goal-line stand that led to a missed field goal and survival against the nationally-ranked Pacers. Was that the single signatute moment of the Rocklin season?
Another goal-line defensive situation comes to mind as well. Granite Bay had just kicked a field goal to take a 10-0 lead in the third quarter against Rocklin, but then a roughing-the-kicker penalty changed everything.
The Grizzlies took the three points off the board, and two plays later a broken play and a fumble, which was recovered by the Thunder gave way to a 96-yard scoring drive and an eventual 14-7 Rocklin victory. How would that game, and the season, have been different if not for that moment?
For a team with so much offensive firepower, it is interesting that our third choice also comes from the under-rated Rocklin defense.
In two consecutive playoff games, Del Oro had piled on the points late to come from behind against higher-seeded teams. That included 36 second-half points against Folsom. Last Friday night, in the section title game, with Rocklin leading by just seven points at the break, the Golden Eagles seemed to be in familiar territory.
This time, however, there was no comeback, but three interceptions and a second half shutout performance by the Thunder defense. Is that second half the biggest event of the year?
So many to choose from. Tell us what you think by voting online at www.placersports.com . If you like some other moment better, share your comments there as well. We are anxious to hear from you.

Precipitation averages 40 inches per year. Runoff averages about 10 inches per year. Annual snowfall is approximately 14 inches (MDNR 1986). The highest runoff is in April-May and the lowest in December-January, coinciding with seasonal rainfall patterns.
Gauging Stations
There have been 22 gauging stations used in the Sac River basin to monitor stream flows and water quality (Table Hy01; USGS 1999). The longest running active gauging station is station 06919500 on Cedar Creek near Pleasant View. It has been in service from 1923-1926 and 1948 to present (USGS 1999a). Currently active stations include: 06918440 on the Sac River near Dadeville, 06918460 on Turnback Creek above Greenfield, 06918493 on the South Dry Sac near Springfield, 06918740 on the Little Sac River near Morrisville, 06918990 on Stockton Lake near Stockton, 06919020 on the Sac River at Highway J below Stockton, 06919500 on Cedar Creek near Pleasant View, and 06919900 on the Sac River near Caplinger Mills. Figure Hy01 shows the average annual discharge for three gauging stations in the Sac River basin.
Stream Order
Stream orders were assigned using 7.5 minute USGS topographic maps and the methodology originally proposed by Horton (1932) and detailed by Gordon et al (1992). Table Hy02 depicts the number of streams third order and larger and stream mileage by sub-basin for the Sac River basin.
Losing streams
It takes 4.7 square miles of area to maintain one mile of permanently flowing stream in the Sac River basin (MDNR 1986). Funk (1968) listed the Sac River basin as having 419 miles of permanently flowing stream and 173 miles of intermittently flowing streams with permanent pools. There are several losing streams in the Sac River basin primarily located in the Upper Sac River, Turnback Creek, and Little Sac River watersheds. Table Hy03 lists losing streams along with their location and Figure Hy02 gives a graphic location of these stream reaches in the Sac River basin.
Stream Flow
The highest recorded discharge for the Sac River (post-impoundment) at gauging station 06919900 near Caplinger Mills was 61,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) on April 12, 1994 (USGS 1999). The highest recorded discharge for gauging station 06919000 near Stockton, Missouri (pre-impoundment) was 120,000 cfs on May 19, 1943 (USGS 1999). The impoundment of the Sac River by Stockton Dam has dramatically effected the hydrology in the river and its tributaries below the dam. Flood events prior to impoundment were undoubtedly larger in magnitude and most likely of shorter duration. The flow magnitude at present, from the records presented, are probably half the historic magnitude but could be weeks or even months longer in duration. Peaking hydropower operations probably simulate daily mini-floods and droughts as pulses of water are repeatedly sent downstream through the generation turbines. Short term flow fluctuations can be dramatic. Instantaneous flows can vary rapidly between less than 20 cfs to more than 8,300 cfs in the Sac River below Stockton Dam during peaking operations. Flow fluctuations of this nature can drastically alter stream channel hydrology, contribute to extensive streambank erosion and interfere with recreational use of the lower Sac River.
Stream base flows in the basin tend to be well maintained in Turnback Creek, Upper Sac River, and Little Sac River sub-basins due to the permeable nature of the soils and bedrock in those areas. Springs also tend to be more common in these sub-basins. Base flows become less stable further north and west in the basin due to the changes in soil permeability and bedrock.
Appendix A shows stream information for third order and larger streams in the Sac River basin.
7-Day Q2 and Q10 Low Flows
Low flows for streams in the Sac River basin are listed in Table Hy04. The 7-day Q2 is the minimum flow expected for a seven day period that will occur on average once in two years. The 7-day Q10 is the minimum flow expected for a seven day period that will occur on average once in ten years. The lowest flows usually occur in the late summer and fall (August, September, and October).
Flows tend to be sustained through dry periods by springs and groundwater. Flows are variable for the Sac River basin, but the ready infiltration of surface water into the groundwater system reduces the magnitude of high flows. The corollary discharge of groundwater during dry periods tends to maintain stream flow. This exchange between groundwater and surface water tends to moderate and maintain more "consistent" flows in all but extreme conditions. In the lower Sac River flows tend to be lower in magnitude but sustained over longer periods of time due to the operation of Stockton Dam releases. Water temperatures are lower as a result of deep water releases through the hydro-power generation outlets. Also, oscillations from high flow to low flow conditions in the lower Sac River tend to be rapid and dramatic due to the "peaking" method of electrical generation. Hydrology in the lower Sac River and the lower Sac River basin tributaries has been dramatically altered due to impoundment and hydro-power operations.
Dam and Hydropower Influences
A total of 39 miles of the Sac River has been lost to impoundment by Stockton Dam. Stockton Dam began impounding water in 1969 (Vandike 1995). The dam is 5,100 feet long, projects 153 feet above the Sac River streambed, and creates a 24,900 acre reservoir with 298 miles of shoreline. Normal pool is at 867 feet msl with storage of 875,000 acre-feet. The flood storage capacity of Stockton Lake is 1,674,000 acre-feet of water at an elevation of 892 feet msl. The surface area of Stockton Lake at flood pool swells to 63,200 acres. Stockton Lake is operated primarily for flood control and hydroelectric generation and has an installed capacity to produce 45,200 kilowatts of electricity (MDNR 1986).
Stockton Dam operation has negatively impacted the lower Sac River and lower basin tributaries. Impacts include bank erosion, siltation, instream flow problems, poor water quality, loss of riparian corridor, loss of invertebrate habitats (and concurrent reduction in productivity), and reduction of spawning habitat for fish (MDC 1999a). As a result of extensive streambank sloughing along the Sac River below Stockton Dam, the COE has purchased sloughing easements from streamside landowners. Positive impacts of Stockton Lake are water supply, electricity production, recreation/tourism, and flood control. Prior to the building of Stockton Dam, average monthly discharge was less uniform than it is today (Figure Hy03). The economic impact of recreation/tourism on the area around Stockton Lake has been substantial. The estimated combined annual benefit of angling for Stockton Lake was $23,098,263 in 1999 (Banek, MDC, pers. com). Diversification of sport fisheries for species including walleye, largemouth bass, and white bass have been an additional impact of Stockton Lake. Lakes with large areas of deep open water also provide opportunity for boating, skiing, and sailing that are not available on streams. Management objectives and summary information concerning the Stockton Lake fishery are available by contacting MDC's Southwest Region Fisheries staff in Springfield.
Fellows Lake was constructed by damming the Little Sac River in 1955. The dam was raised to enlarge storage capacity in 1992. The lake covers 812 surface acres at normal pool with a storage capacity of 10.1 billion gallons. The primary purpose for Fellows Lake is drinking water (Watershed Committee of the Ozarks 1999). McDaniel Lake was constructed by damming the Little Sac River in 1929. The dam was raised to enlarge storage capacity in 1990. The lake covers 226 surface acres at normal pool with a storage capacity of 1.5 billion gallons. The primary purpose for McDaniel Lake is drinking water (Watershed Committee of the Ozarks 1999).
There are a few small public and private lakes and a large number of farm ponds in the Sac River basin. Due to small size and ease of construction, the number of ponds can change very rapidly. Many ponds are built without needing permits and statistics on ponds are usually compiled by county rather than watershed. These factors complicate getting accurate, up-to-date information on ponds. Concern exists over the effects these ponds have on low-flow conditions as they intercept runoff and allow little or no adjustment for maintenance of stream flows.

A former Pinetops part-time police officer has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2010 shooting of a fellow student at Mid-Atlantic Christian University.
The Pasquotank County jury deliberated slightly less than three hours Tuesday before returning the verdict in the trial of 26-year-old Christopher Amyx, who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Amyx had claimed self-defense, saying 23-year-old Jonathan Schipper came at him with a knife while he sat at his computer in his dorm room. Amyx testified he had received threatening notes in the days leading up to the shooting and felt he was in danger because he was a gay student at a religious school.
Assistant District Attorney Kimberly Pellini said in closing arguments that Amyx had planned to shoot Schipper.

Digest: 1. It is not improper for a lawyer to include in a retainer agreement a provision charging interest on unpaid legal fees when the lawyer (1) fully informs the client of the circumstances where interest may be charged, (2) those circumstances, the fee, and the interest rate are reasonable, and (3) the client consent.
2. It is also not improper to charge interest on unpaid legal fees, although the retainer agreement is silent, when the lawyer (1) notifies the client that the lawyer intends to charge a reasonable interest rate on unpaid legal fees, and (2) provides the client with a reasonable opportunity to pay the outstanding unpaid balance before any interest accrues.
Code: DR 2-101(C)(3); 2-106; EC 2-17; 2-18; 2-19; 2-23
A lawyer inquires whether she may ethically charge a client interest on unpaid legal fees where (a) the retainer agreement expressly provides that interest will be charged and, alternatively (b) the retainer agreement is silent. Assuming arguendo that charging interest is ethical in either of these cases, the lawyer further asks what interest rates ethically may be charged.
A. May a written retainer agreement provide for interest to be charged on unpaid legal fees?
In N.Y. City 1982-6, this Committee previously considered whether a written retainer agreement may ethically provide for an interest charge on unpaid legal fees. In that case, the specific question under consideration was whether an annual interest charge of eighteen percent could be imposed on legal fees not paid within one month of billing. This Committee concluded that it is not improper to assess a reasonable interest charge on unpaid legal bills if (1) the arrangement is clearly and fully explained to the client in advance and the client understands and consents to the proposed arrangement and (2) the arrangement does not result in the charging of an excessive fee. N.Y. City 82-6.[1]

Thanksgiving shopping took a noticeable bite out of Black Friday's start to the holiday season, as the latest survey found retail sales fell slightly from last year.
Saturday's report from retail technology company ShopperTrak finds consumers spent $11.2 billion at stores across the U.S. That is down 1.8 percent from last year's total.
This year's Friday results may have been tempered by hundreds of thousands of shoppers hitting sales Thursday evening while still full of Thanksgiving dinner. Retailers including Sears, Target and Wal-Mart got their deals rolling as early as 8 p.m. on Turkey Day.
Meanwhile, IBM says online sales rose 17.4 percent on Thanksgiving and 20.7 percent on Black Friday, compared with 2011.

One east Carolina barbecue joint has hit the big time when it comes to good eats.
USA Today named The Skylight Inn in Ayden as one of the top ten southern barbecue places in the country.
Owned by the Pete Jones family since 1947, Skylight Inn is known for slow-roasting whole hogs over oak fires in open-air pits.
This is the second national honor bestowed on the family-owned operation in the last two years. In May of 2013, National Geographic Travel Book listed Ayden's Skylight Inn as the second best barbecue in the land.
Other restaurants that made the top ten are sprinkled across the county in cities like Decatur, Memphis, and Tuscaloosa.
Lexington Barbecue in Lexington, North Carolina and Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Monroe also made this list.
For the full list of the top ten, click here.

With spring practice now in the books for West Virginia, the focus has shifted to recruiting and a three-star defensive back from Winter Park (Fla.) got some unexpected news this week.Blake McClain got word that the Mountaineers were offering him a scholarship after co-defensive coordinator Joe DeForest called his head coach to inform him that the versatile defensive back was firmly on the West Virginia radar. "He told my coach that I'm a big corner and I could play safety or corner and he'd like me to come and try to fight for a starting position my freshman year," he said. ...More...

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Dec. 31, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- After six years, the New Year's Even countdown celebration between 11th and Broad streets has come to an end.
"This is the first year we haven't done it in quite some time," said Bobby Morrison, who runs Metro Coffee House and Pub.
Morrison said there's really only one reason they canceled the drop for Monday night.
"It's a lot of work, so we're just going to try to enjoy tonight," he said.
11th and Broad streets looked pretty bare. But last year, New Year's Eve preparations started hours before the party.
However, Morrison wasn't the only one putting on the countdown party downtown. 1102 Downtown Bar and Grill was a partner from the start. Together, the bars would spend close to $5,000.
Even though the drop was canceled for Monday night, the manager of 1102 said downtown is still the place to be for New Year's Eve.
"11th Street, the block, is still the tightest concentration of bars. These bars have a lot of history. It's a lot of close-knit people. And it's still the best place to be if you're going to be in Augusta," said Manager Matt Mazur.
While the big attraction of the countdown drop has been canceled, both bars say the party will continue.
News 12 asked if they plan on bringing it next year.
"Yeah. No doubt," Morrison said.
Mazur says he isn't thinking about next year yet but wants everyone to be careful.
"Be safe. That's the biggest thing with everybody," he said.

Comments On Sep 01, 2015:I had a set of these tires mounted on my V -Strom 1000 for a Utah to Alaska trip this past July. My bike was loaded down pretty good and it pulled a small trailer. I got 7500 miles out of the rear tire at the wear bars. I would have liked more mileage but under the circumstances I'm happy. No flats, great traction on gravel, some mud, wet and dry pavement, smooth and easy on the turns. On the other hand my wive's Suzuki cruiser fitted with Metzeler ME 880 tires, still has lots to tread to wear. I would buy these tires again but I wish the 880's came in my V Strom's size.

Comments On Mar 15, 2015:I was going to buy the Karoo 3 three but was recommended this tire as I also use my bike to commute on the highway to work and it should have longer life.
I've had it a week and have just returned from a 9 hour day on the bike incorporating loose gravel roads, highway, singe track and clay. The only things this tire struggled with were a steep, wet clay hill with multiple switchbacks (it made it up reasonably easily but with a lot of sliding), and a steep, wet, grassy paddock hill. For a less than 50/50 tire this sure can handle plenty of off-road elements, if you don't mind your rear sliding if its wet.
I have this matched with a TKC80 on the front.

Comments On Oct 17, 2014:This tire is great on tight twisty canyon roads and pretty much any other road condition. Its ability to hold corners is remarkable, yet it wears really fast when pushed to the point of sliding in corners. If you ride street all the time and you like to push corners really hard this is not your tire. You can get more mileage out of a good street tire. If you ride the dirt on occasion this is a great tire for you. This tire can actually be pushed a little bit in the dirt which is rare for this design of Dual Sport tire. If someone tells you you can get 10k miles out of this tire, that person is riding like Grandama....expect 3k to 5k tops.

Comments On May 02, 2014:Good so far. 2000 miles and see no wear. Smooth, tracks well thru corners and dirt roads. Haven't been in the rain yet. I think it will be a good tire for the price point.

Comments On Apr 03, 2014:I have 70,000 miles on my 1200GSA and another 100,000+ on 2 1150 GSAs. I ride very aggressively over multisurfaces. Texas chip seal roads really wear tires. I get the best mileage while still getting decent traction on a rear tire. I have used the Tourance to take my bikes to the top of Engineer Pass in Colorado as well as some nasty single track that my cylinders were hanging up! If you need better traction up front, try mixing KArooT with Tourance rear...nice match and still handles well on street!

Comments On Jul 29, 2013:I put a set of the classic Metzler Tourances on my 07 Vstrom 1000 and rode to Prudhoe Bay from Washington State. The tires worked very well on the road and worked OK on the Dalton up to Prudhoe Bay. Lots of rain and slick mud and I never fell on my ass once. Not as good as more aggressive knobby tires off road but a good compromise when majority of riding is on pavement. If you can change to Knobbies in Fairbanks it would be ideal but I didn't.

Comments On May 09, 2011:I love this tire for the BMW R1150GS. I always look at the other alternatives when it's time to replace another set, and I always go back to the Tourance. They get me where I want to go within reason, and I'm getting 12-15K out of a rear tire and 20k+ out of a front

Often cited as one of the most influential, low-budget films that contributed to the emergence of the American Independent Film Movement of the 1980's, Paris, Texas is an inspired evocation of the personal journey of a tortured soul (Harry Dean Stanton) progressing toward forgiveness and redemption. Set in Texas and Los Angeles, German director Wim Wenders paints a moving and poignant picture of an emotionally troubled man seeking to make sense out of his fractured, tumultuous past and in the process, repair some of the damage he's inflicted upon those he loves. Pitch perfect as a kind of neo-Western, road-film, from the casting down to the spare beauty of Sam Shepard's writing, Wenders unpacks the story of Travis and Jane to reveal the power of guilt, regret and selflessness.

Driving Global Warming
What would Jesus drive?The Christian Century
Up until some point in the 1960s, people of a certain class routinely belonged to segregated country clubs without giving it much thought--it was "normal." And then, in the space of a few years, those memberships became immoral. As a society, we'd crossed some threshold where the benefits--a good place to play golf, a nice pool for the kids, business contacts, a sense of status and belonging--had to be weighed against the recognition that racial discrimination was evil.
Belonging to Farflung Acres CC wasn't the same as bombing black churches (perfectly sweet and decent people did it), and quitting wasn't going to change the economic or social patterns of the whole society, but it had become an inescapable symbol. Either you cared enough about the issue of race to make a stand or you didn't. If you thought we were all made in God's image, and that Jesus had died to save us all, it was the least you could do.
For the past decade, buying a sport utility vehicle--an Explorer, a Navigator, a CRV, a Suburban, a Rover, and so on down the list--has seemed perfectly normal. Most people of a certain station did it. If you went to a grocery store in suburban Boston, you would think that reaching it required crossing flooded rivers and climbing untracked canyons. In any given parking lot, every other vehicle has four-wheel drive, 18 inches of clearance, step-up bumpers. They come with a lot of other features: leather seats, surround sound, comfort, status. Maybe even some sense of connection with nature, for they've been advertised as a way to commune with creation.
But now we've come to another of those threshold moments. In January, after five years of exhaustive scientific study, the International Panel on Climate Change announced the consensus of the world's leading experts: If we keep burning fossil fuels at anything like our present rate, the planet will warm four or five degrees, and perhaps as much as 11 degrees, before the century is out. Those temperatures would top anything we've seen for hundreds of millions of years.
Already we can guess the effects. The decade we've just come through was the warmest on record in human history: It saw record incidences of floods and drought (both of which you'd expect with higher temperatures). Arctic ice, we now know, has thinned 40 percent in the last 40 years. Sea level is rising steadily.

"I really held back the first time, because I didn't know whether audiences would go for it, " said director Robert Rodriguez about 2005's Sin City back in the spring of 2012, but he admitted that things would change for the sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. "This one is going to push way further towards the books. It's going to shock and surprise people."
It may be too early to tell whether Rodriguez has pulled off his promise, but the look of the first trailer for A Dame to Kill For picks up right where the original left off, utilizing stark black-and-white photography with the occasional color flourish as it depicts a city of ill intent and questionable morals. Mickey Rourke is back as the tough and grizzled Marv and Jessica Alba returns as the stripper with a heart of gold Nancy Callahan, who has revenge on her mind over the death of her guardian angel, John Hartigan (Bruce Willis). New characters are included in the trailer as well, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a down-on-his-luck gambler named Johnny, Ray Liotta as the gun-toting Joey and Eva Green as the titular character Ava Lord.

J.J. Green, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The FBI is looking to Facebook for help with its investigation into what happened at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith and U.S. embassy security personnel Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. Two other Americans and seven Libyans were injured.
In addition to combing through the rubble of the Benghazi consulate and an extensive global investigation, the FBI posted an appeal in Arabic on Facebook asking "Libyans and people around the world for additional information related to the attacks."
The appeal comes during a withering bout of political finger-pointing in Washington over who is to blame for the attacks and why it took administration officials several days to determine it was a terror attack.
Phil Mudd, former deputy director of the FBI National Security Division, says the frustration is a byproduct of the confusion that happened during the attack.
"I suspect there are terrorists involved in the tragedy of the murder of the American ambassador. In fact, I'm quite confident of it." But he says, "If you look at the video, this is not a highly orchestrated al-Qaida attack on an embassy put in place weeks in advance. It's not at all clear what happened there."
In its Facebook posting the FBI says it "appreciates that the Libyan people and the government of Libya have condemned the September 11, 2012 attacks" and directs readers to contact them with any information by text or email email@example.com or submit information confidentially at https://forms.fbi.gov/benghazi-en
The page also shows photos of the burned out facility and offers a variety of ways to contact the FBI.

Advice for Parents of Troubled Teens
It's normal for teenagers to want to feel independent. But it's not typical for them to act out in dangerous extremes. If your teenager is creating self-destructive situations, you can't afford not to intervene. Should you wait until your teenager is in a perilous situation before you do something about it? The answer is not "no," it's "Hell no!" Dr. Phil explains:
Identify the Cause
Teenagers are known to explore new things, but they don't make severe switches in personality just out of the blue. If they're making drastic behavioral changes, there's a reason. It's a cause-and-effect situation. As a parent, it's your responsibility to identify what's behind the change. It may be a recent event, or it may be something deep-rooted.
Look Back
Negative events that happened at ages 2, 3 or 4 help to shape children's personalities. By the time these toddlers become teenagers, they've been living with the resulting pain for most of their lives. Young children may feel pain and anger, but they lack the ability to act on those emotions. Teenagers, however, are able to act on these feelings with more lasting — and harmful — consequences.
Listen and Talk
Teenagers today have more opportunities to make bad decisions than they did in years past. This is all the more reason that you must be a positive, reliable person in your child's life. Listen to him or her and resist the urge to judge or advise; sometimes just being heard helps. Even though they're often reluctant to admit it, they seek approval, love, and a "soft place to fall" in their parents. If they don't feel valued, loved and understood at home, they'll turn elsewhere to get the acceptance they so deeply need.
Act Like a Parent
...especially if your teenager is already going down the wrong path. A warm relationship is ideal, but sometimes you must do things your child won't understand. Remember: you're a parent, not a pal. Your responsibility is to ensure the well-being and safety of your child. Intervening in a dangerous situation (like ones involving drugs, abuse or truancy) might make your child dislike you, but it will also save his or her life. Don't "go along just to get along;" do what's best for your child.
