Utakata and Hotaru were admitted into the T&I for about a week (just standard procedure—nothing to be worried about; we were able to visit them multiple times, and they assured us their treatment was fine), and at the end of the week, they were supposed to be transferred to Wave.
The timing could not have been better. From what I had calculated, the Invasion would happen in about eight days. So they would be out of Konoha the day before the Invasion, and there would be no way to track them. I knew that they would be safe in Wave while Pein attacked Konoha… and hopefully… they would stay safe.
Even if Pein learned about them going to Wave, I doubted he would stop his pursuit of Konoha. Konoha was personal for him. It was his way of… justice.
Heh. Not that I could blame him...
Jiraiya struggled to sit up in his hospital bed. I leaned towards him from my chair, pressing firmly on his shoulders to push him back in a lying position. "Don't strain yourself."
He shook his head, sighing. With a bandaged hand, Jiraiya gestured to the notepad and pen that sat at his bedside table. Naruto reached around me, grabbed them and held them out to our godfather. Jiraiya quickly wrote something down.
Not being able to talk for so long sucks ass.
My lips twitched. "Frankly, I'm just glad that you're al… you'll be able to talk again."
Jiraiya eyed me a moment, his expression somber. He turned to another page and wrote something down before presenting it to us.
Aa. Both of you better stop being so gloomy. There's a reason why I asked you both to come here. Although I've already told Tsunade what I know about the enemy, it's about time I told the two of you… Tonight, both of you will be leaving with me to begin the next stage of your training.
Kurama purred, Well. Naruto will partake in the training.
"Next stage?" Naruto echoed.
Jiraiya waved his hand in a dismissive manner (the universal sign that he would explain it later) just as Tsunade entered the room.
"Out, you two," Tsunade said. "You can talk to him later."
Naruto's brow furrowed, but he didn't argue. Standing up, he left the room and I followed after him.
"Actually… Nii-chan," I asked softly, grabbing at his sleeve. Naruto glanced back at me, cocking his head.
"Can I talk to you? Privately."
"... Sure?"
The two of us sat in front of each other on Naruto's bed in our apartment, our legs crossed.
"What's up?" Naruto asked curiously.
I took a deep breath. "I need you to cover for me."
Naruto blinked vapidly. "... What?"
"Kurama and I have a pretty good idea what Jiraiya-sama will be teaching you - and attempting to teach us," I said slowly, "and… and Kurama and I have different plans. Plans that involve me being outside of Konoha. Alone. Without you. Or anyone else."
Naruto stilled. "... What."
"We have to do some things," I confessed, fidgeting nervously. "I, um, I can't say what exactly because I, er, don't really know myself."
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "This is all Kurama's idea, isn't it?"
That's right.
Naruto's eyes narrowed even further, and he started to frown. Kurama didn't speak to both of us at the same time often, but it wasn't exactly new.
"What do you need to do?" Naruto asked.
None of your concern.
"It is my concern," Naruto said lowly, his hands clenching into fists. "I wasn't - I wasn't there to protect her from the Akatsuki, and - "
"I'm not some helpless little girl," I cut in, my temper getting the better of me. "Naruto, I could have probably handled Hidan and Kakuzu if I didn't restrict myself. Or at the very least, I wouldn't have lost so much. I'm not doing that anymore. And if worse really comes to worse, I'll use the Flying Thunder God and teleport straight back to you."
"You couldn't do that last time," Naruto argued, "so you can't promise you can do that again."
I shook my head, disagreeing. "I can, and I will. Please, Naruto. You have to trust me."
Naruto stubbornly folded his arms across his chest. "I trust you, Imouto. I don't trust him, though."
Kurama sneered. I'm not the one who let her down. I may have done many things, brat, but that is not one of them. Whereas you, on the other hand, have, and you're about to do it again. Is that all you're good for? Letting your precious people down?
Naruto's cheeks took on a rosy hue, and he snapped, "You're also the one that murdered our parents!"
"Enough," I said sharply to both of them, disliking where this conversation was going. Both of them were fidgeting, Kurama's anger spiked and Naruto's patience was running thin. "This isn't about the past. This is about now. Naruto, if you really trust me, then you need to trust me to make my own decisions."
Naruto looked away, his gaze trailing downcast and his shoulders fell. "I… You really want to do this?"
"I do," I said firmly.
"... Do you have to go alone?" Naruto asked, turning his pleading gaze back to me. "Can't someone else - anyone else - go with you? Please?"
At that, I had to pause. Naruto rarely used that tone with me, and he even more rarely asked anything of me. My hands curled into fists and I dug them in my lap, shifting anxiously. I couldn't bring myself to meet his warm, concerned-filled eyes, and so I was forced to look down.
"Please?" Naruto asked again. "Please?"
Kurama gave a giant sigh. Oh, good grief…
"I-It's just th-that…" I trailed off, then I readjusted my gears. "Well, who could come with me? You'll be training with Jiraiya, and Jiraiya will be training you. We can't trust all of our friends to just go along with me on Kurama's wishes. Can you think of one person who will be willing to indulge Kurama and myself and not report us to Konoha?"
Naruto frowned, then his face brightened. "Sasuke!"
Kurama's roar had both of us wincing.
Naruto sighed. "Well… there has to be someone. Maybe Kakashi-sensei?"
"No," I said flatly. "I don't trust him not to drag me back to Konoha."
"You don't know that for sure," Naruto argued.
I folded my arms across my chest. "Oh? You think he'd be willing to humor me? Humor us?"
Naruto shrugged. "It'd give you a good excuse, though, wouldn't it? He could say he wants to train you some more in ninken or something, right?"
"He'll think it'll be safer if I stayed in Konoha, so he'll take me back to Konoha," I said firmly.
Naruto threw his hands up in the air in exasperation and flopped backwards on his bed. "I don't know! I just don't want you to go alone, okay? I just…"
"I'll be fine," I soothed, crawling off the bed and standing up. "I'm not a helpless girl. Besides, you can't always be there to protect me."
Naruto rolled over on his side, tossing his arm over his eyes and sighing.
"... Please?"
I sighed. "... I'll see what I can do."
It'd be easier to find someone to come with us, if you'd tell me what we're doing in the first place, I thought. And if you were a bit more cooperative.
No one can come with us, Kurama argued stubbornly. It'll ruin everything.
It'll destroy Naruto's peace of mind and he won't be able to focus on training!
I'll remain in constant contact with him and tell him how you're doing, Kurama attempted to placate me.
You'll fuck up his training even more so!
Humph. Not my fault the idiot wants to train with toads when he has me.
You wouldn't train him if he was the last living creature in this whole damn universe.
Nevermind, I thought morosely, deeming the situation of persuading Kurama to be hopeless. At least in regards to Naruto's training. Can't you be at least a little cooperative?
Don't make me take away your scenery!
You wouldn't.
Don't make me take away the communication seal!
You won't.
… Don't make me…?
I'll tell Naruto you're a tsundere.
Do that and I'll pump so much energy into you, you won't sleep for a week.
You're really mean, you know that?
It would not be the first time I've heard that. Look, kit, this is something you're just going to have to trust me on. I don't want to say anything and spoil the… surprise… but trust me… You'll be just fine.
I trust you, Kurama. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't. I just… I don't want Naruto to be so… uncomfortable with this. He doesn't trust you and you aren't exactly helping the matters.
Kurama seemed to be shrugging, because his tone was nonchalant. That's his issue. He hasn't learned to look underneath the underneath and he's not ready to accept the fact that believe it or not, I'm not evil incarnate. That's Madara.
Madara-sama, I corrected.
Drop that damn sama.
My lips twitched.
There. Done with the seals. Do these look right?
I leaned back from my work, massaging my sore hands as I looked at the many seals I had spread about in our living room. They were a basic design that Kurama remembered Mito using when she imprisoned him. They, in short, created a sort of barrier in a designated parameter. They completely cut off the chakra inside from the outside world. It would be perfect if, say, a bijū wanted to go wild inside that thing without getting noticed. They weren't perfect by any means, but they would do for the upcoming plans.
In regards to Danzō.
They look right. Go ahead and pack your things now. Be careful packing them – we don't want to set them off.
"You told Sasuke?!" I demanded, glaring furiously at my brother. Naruto squirmed under my gaze.
"Just listen," Naruto said consolingly, "you know I suck at lying. I can't cover for you over something this big! Sasuke's not going with you - he's staying with me to help me cover for you."
I turned my irritated gaze to an indifferent Sasuke. Sasuke shrugged. "I trust you're capable of taking care of yourself. I don't know why Kurama or you want to do this, but I understand personal matters. Sometimes rules just have to be broken."
I sighed.
Naruto has a point, Kurama told me. He sucks at lying.
… I know. Are you okay with this?
So long as he stays with Naruto, and doesn't follow us, I couldn't care less. We'll have a lot of ground to cover, and you'll be sprinting for the majority of it, so I doubt he'd keep up, anyway.
I see.
"Fine," I sighed. "Does Jiraiya know Sasuke is coming?"
Naruto nodded his head.
"And he's okay with this?"
Naruto nodded again.
"Do what you want."
I shifted the backpack on my shoulders, hovering close to Naruto and Sasuke. Jiraiya stood in front of us, grinning widely and holding a notebook. He wouldn't need to use the notebook to talk for much longer – perhaps a couple more days and then he would be able to speak again.
Okay, Miwako and Sasuke, you two hold onto either me or Naruto. Any minute we'll be reversed summoned… Jiraiya wrote.
Sasuke grasped my hand, holding it loosely in his own. I squeezed his hand in return, and grabbed onto Naruto's. Naruto grinned brightly at both of us.
Within minutes, there was this odd sucking sensation and white clouded my vision.
When the smoke cleared… we had arrived.
Naruto created a clone of myself and I handed him one of my special daggers.
"Considering how poor Jiraiya is with genjutsu, the clone should work for a while," Sasuke said. "Although, you may be having a lot of bladder issues."
I shrugged, nonplussed. "So be it. Just keep Jiraiya from finding out I'm gone."
Naruto sighed. "We know, we know… Hey, what are we supposed to say when he tries to train you?"
"Tell him I'm on my time of month and it's messing with my chakra control," I said bluntly.
"Since when does that…?"
"Tell him I'm grouchy, so I'm making Kurama grouchy and he's messing with my chakra control," I said, rolling my eyes.
"I can believe that," Naruto said.
I grinned at him. "Okay… I should get going now, and you two should head back. We just arrived here, so I doubt Jiraiya's gonna let us out of his sight for too long. It's amazing he let us look around in the first place. Be safe and have fun you two."
"Stay safe," Naruto told me.
"Come back," Sasuke said quietly.
I planted my feet firmly on the outrageously large (seriously, these trees were larger than Konoha's) trees. They were large enough they could comfortingly fit two of our apartments.
Where are we? I asked hesitantly, finally taking the time to look around. The trees climbed high above me, disappearing into the clouds. I don't remember reading about a place with trees this big… in this life and the last.
It's protected by an undying Genjutsu, Kurama responded softly, his voice surprisingly gentle. It's a safe place. When we… the bijuu… were small, this is where we stayed. However, as our chakra grew, and so did our bodies, we had to leave… or else we would have been found out and the humans would find this place, too. The Sage, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, made this place just for us.
This is… this is the forest from before. When you first adjusted the environment to the seal, this is…
Yes. It is a safe place. Not even the Akatsuki will reach us here.
Why don't you stay here, then? Far away from the human world?
Because while the Akatsuki cannot find us, now, they would still be able to find us if we were not in a jinchuuriki, and thus hiding our massive chakra signatures. Bijuu cannot hide their chakra like humans can - our chakra does not suppress. And none of us want this place to be discovered and… tainted…
Then why show this place to me?
You will keep it a secret. I know this. Besides, Gyūki has already shown his jinchuuriki this place. I know that scent anywhere.
I didn't smell anything particularly unique in the air, but I could have been wrong.
Drop down to the forest floor.
I did as he requested, hopping off the tree branch and falling to the soft grass. The grass reached as high as I did, if not taller, and I had to brush it away from me.
Turn right and continue to go straight. We're almost there.
Curious to see what our destination was, I picked up the pace and quickly sprinted through the grass. When the grass cleared, I stumbled out into a rocky clearing with a large cave entrance. Large enough Kurama could easily fit through.
Go on. You won't need a glowstick, so don't bother.
Frowning, I broke into a steady jog and entered the cave. After a while of going straight, the light seemed to dwindle down to near nothing. However, I could still see well enough I didn't feel the need to pull out a glowstick. After a while of walking down the large pathway, winding further down, I reached a dead end.
As in a giant pit of darkness below me now.
I looked down it nervously.
You'll have to make scarier drops on missions, Kurama dismissed. Besides, you'll like this one. Probably.
Taking his nonchalance as some semblem of assurance, I leapt down into the pit. After a couple seconds of falling, my heels slammed into something wet and hard, and I fell backwards, landing on my tailbone. I managed to suppress my squeal as I started to slide down.
Feelings of giddiness and adrenaline ran through me as I slid in the darkness. Unable to help myself, I even giggled a little it. It was… fun. I could feel how relaxed and content Kurama was, as well - he really liked this place - which made it even more enjoyable. It wasn't frightening or nerve-wracking as some might have believed it to be… it was… nice.
I wasn't sure how long I slid down. It seemed to go on for minutes, but all too soon I popped out of the tunnel.
Light bloomed in front of me, as I slid across the smooth crystal floor. My breath was caught in my throat as I took in the scene.
When I stopped sliding, I slowly stood up.
I looked around at all the crystals, taking the sight in with such wide eyes. "So beautiful."
There wasn't a single portion of the room that was not crystallized and gleaming. It was a humongous room - it seemed to stretch on forever before being enveloped in darkness. The crystals climbed higher than I could see, and the single stream of sunlight that peeked through the cracks reflected and bounced and transformed into a wave of rainbows all around. I slowly sank to the cold, crystallized, smooth ground, and continued to stare in awe at the environment. "How…? How is this possible?"
Don't concern yourself with that, brat, Kurama snorted. We are here… we are here because it's time.
"Time?' I echoed back faintly, still overwhelmed by its beauty. Was I really still in the mortal realm?
Originally Naruto had the Hachibi and his mother assist him in this. You do not need that.
I froze.
"Kurama… are you saying…?"
You cannot master my chakra now, Kurama went on, because you are too attached to your emotions. I cannot take you to the Waterfall of Truth, but I can take you here. To the Seeing Crystals. Stay here. Relax. Meditate. And when you have reached a tranquil state, you will face your true self. When you have defeated them, we will begin our training.
By defeating them… you mean… accepting them…?
I closed my eyes, a sinking feeling in my gut.
I don't know… I don't know if I can do that. Accepting… accepting means forgiving, Kurama. I don't know if I'm capable of doing that.
Acceptance does not always mean forgiveness, Miwako, Kurama said, his tone surprisingly gentle, and his voice rumbling. Understand?
Not quite, I admitted. But I will try.
Pulling off my pack and tossing it to the side, I then got in a more comfortable position and prepared to meditate.
That's all I could feel.
Anger and utter loathing.
It burned and raged through every inch of me, swaddling me. I opened my eyes and I was breathing heavily from this overbearing emotion.
No one stood before me.
There was no 'dark me' that I could confront like there was with Naruto. There was a swing and the academy and the sun was setting. I could see Naruto through the window, working on his detention, while I sat on the swing, just staring.
It was a memory.
Just as soon as I recognized it, it shifted.
I sat alone at the kitchen table, bruises and sores dotting my form. Fear and anger were the only two things I knew at that moment. Fear at what had happened - that it had actually happened and anger that I was helpless to it.
Again, the scene moved.
The next memory was over Naruto trying to shield me from the next attacks. I had screamed at them, spitting curses and clawing like a madwoman. They were too big.
Once more, the scene shifted.
Memories of my life replayed before me. From beatings, to lonely ones, to grief and loss. All the emotions replayed in an endless loop and I was lost in the sea of memories.
Accept…? Forgive…?
In a way, those memories had seem so far and unreal, as they had happened so many years ago. But, seeing them again, so vivid and clear before my eyes, brought them back as though they had only just happened. With them, came the accompanying emotions I had felt at the time.
How could I forgive…?
It didn't feel like I had a body, but I couldn't help, but feel my hands clench into fists. Subtle trembles ran through me, as I was helpless to watch my brother be beaten to protect me.
I will never forgive Konoha. I will never forgive them.
Then you will never reach your potential, Kurama whispered in my ear.
You know what they did! They don't deserve my forgiveness. They don't deserve our forgiveness.
You do not need to forgive, Kurama murmured. You need to accept.
That is forgiveness!
Is it? Your anger… your hatred… while delicious… should no longer control you, brat. You confine yourself with your anger; you let your past and scars write out your future. You limit yourself with your hatred.
My hatred is what drives me, Kurama. I would have lost my will to fight long ago without it!
Is that so?
I felt Kurama's hot breath wash over me, then disappear entirely. Whiteness replaced the scene I had currently been watching and a sudden warmth took over me. My eyes widened in surprise, and my breath hitched as a warm hand rested on top of me.
I stilled.
"Maybe it would be better if we didn't keep watching that, though, huh?"
Slowly, oh so slowly, I turned around. Warm blue eyes and spiky blond hair was the first thing I noticed. He was tall and lean and was smiling ohsovery openly at me.
"You're…" I whispered, uncertainty clawing at me. I felt exposed and vulnerable under his eyes. I squirmed and averted my gaze.
"You don't need to hide your eyes from me, Miwako-chan," Mina… Papa… said softly, warmly.
I swallowed roughly. "What… What are you doing here?"
"The seal came loose," Papa said. "You aren't aware of it, though, because you were deep in your subconscious."
Papa smiled gently. "You accidentally drew on his chakra - you seem to have gotten into the habit of doing that whenever you become stressed."
Papa's smile slipped, and he looked at me with mournful eyes. "I'm sorry."
I looked back up at him, confused.
"It's because of me that you have carry such a heavy burden," Papa said. "I failed as your father, and for that, I'm sorry."
My eyes widened and I furiously shook my head. "No, no… I know it's not your fault. It couldn't be helped. You were dead the moment Kurama pierced you - his chakra's too volatile, it wouldn't make a difference if a medical-nin found you. You did the best you could, given the circumstances."
Papa gave a small shake of his head himself. "If I had been stronger, faster, then things would be different. You and Naruto would not have had to have lived such a life. You wouldn't feel the need to carry your hatred so close to your heart."
"That's my choice, Papa," I said quietly.
Papa's eyes shined when I called him Papa, but it was a sad shine. The kind of shine that came before the tears. "You don't need to carry that burden, Miwako-chan. I know… I know it's hard, but there are other ways…"
"I won't forgive them," I said, shaking my head. "You can't ask me to forgive them."
"I know and I'm not," Papa said. "I'm not even sure if I can forgive them, Miwako-chan. But, I know that hatred does not have to be the answer."
"What else is there?" I demanded.
"Acceptance," Papa said.
I shook my head. "That's the - "
He placed a finger over my lips, and his eyes took a teasing light to them. "At least I can teach you something. Miwako-chan: it is not the same thing. You won't forgive them, that's fine, I don't blame you. But, you don't need to confine yourself - you don't need to keep hurting yourself."
Folding my arms across my chest, I eyed Minato with open skepticism. "I'm not hurting myself - "
"You are," Papa disagreed. "You've gotten better - you've learned to open up a bit more to others, which is wonderful, Miwako-chan. But you still isolate yourself, you still choose to carry your hatred in all your actions. You hold onto your pain and your anger - it's taking its toll on you. You can't keep doing that Miwako-chan, or else it will consume you."
My brow furrowed.
"You need to learn to forgive yourself, Miwako-chan, and you need to find peace within yourself," Papa said softly. "That is how you can find acceptance."
"Peace… within myself…?"
"Don't dwell on the things you can't change, Miwako-chan don't drag yourself down by your own scars," Papa said, and the whiteness disappeared and replaced itself with another scene. I saw my team and my friends all looking at us and beaming brightly. "This is your life, Miwako-chan."
And behind us, I knew the scene changed to show a more darker memory of my childhood. I peeked over my shoulder to look at the gruesome scene, and I found myself preferring to look at my friends instead.
"Your past is a dark one, I know," Papa said firmly, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me close. "But your future doesn't have to be like that. Do you see what you did when you opened up?"
My friends were replaced with another memory.
Sakura giggled and there was a light knock at the door. I looked up, smiling shyly. "Hello, Hinata-chan."
Hinata gave me a warm smile. Hinata had been visiting me every day, even if she didn't enter the room (on the days that I didn't want company, she merely left some flowers and food before leaving). "Hello, Miwako-chan. I-I brought you some more books, the ones you requested."
"Thank you!" I exclaimed, beaming at the girl. She gave me a soft smile in return, pulling up a chair next to Sakura and setting the books in my lap.
Sakura giggled. "Ah, this sure is nice. It's been a while since the girls were together… When you're out of the hospital, Miwako-chan, perhaps we should throw a slumber party?"
"Slumber… party?"
"Th-That sounds nice," Hinata agreed, smiling prettily.
I shifted, feeling a little anxious. "I've never…"
Not in this lifetime and not in the previous…
"Really?" Sakura exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Then we better make this a huge one. Oooh, I bet we could get Temari-senpai and Tenten-senpai to come! We can hold it over at Ino's place because her parents are usually really cool about that sort of thing, not to mention she could totally get Chōji to make us a whole bunch of food. Have you had some of his cooking? It's the best."
I giggled. "That sounds nice. I think I would really enjoy that."
"I-I can talk to Chichi-ue and see if he would be willing to allow me to bring some of our movies. We actually have quite a big c-collection," Hinata added.
"Excellent! I'll talk to Ino about it and see if I can send out a letter to Temari-senpai…" Sakura trailed off, humming thoughtfully.
"Do you see how much they care? How much you care?"
Sasuke's hand squeezed my shoulder as Sakura summoned a small portion of Katsuyu. The slug summon then split in half and allowed half of herself to be dismissed and resummoned by Tsunade. He leaned forward and whispered lowly in my ear, "You still seem upset."
"It can't be helped," I whispered back. "Isobu - the Sanbi - has lost faith that he'll ever be free."
Naruto moved to stand on my other side, frowning as he whispered quietly, "Miwa, I know you feel strongly for the bijū, but - "
"I know. I'm sorry again for losing my temper."
Naruto shook his head. "No. I'm not upset about that - I'd be doing the same thing if I felt as strongly as you do about it. What I'm saying is, but what do you want us to do about it?"
My eyes widened and I looked at Sasuke, and Naruto. "You guys…?"
"We're a team," Naruto said firmly.
"And you know how happy you are with them - how happy you can continue to be."
I burst into a fit of giggles, covering my mouth to try and suppress my sound. Sakura and Sasame were giggling, as well, while Hinata's face took on a brighter red.
"G-Girls," Hinata pleaded, fidgeting nervously. "P-Please s-stop laughing."
My giggles erupted into full out laughter and wheezing, and I lost my balance. I crumpled to the floor, shaking and gasping for air.
"If you keep going on like this, though, if you keep turning to your anger; to your hatred…" Papa trailed off.
I was shaking minutely, and red chakra began to pour out of me, whipping around without prompting.
"Miwako, calm yourself," Kakashi said sharply.
"He hasn't done anything wrong!" I hissed. "We have no reason to seal him! That's just - no! I won't do it!"
They looked nervous. Shizune especially seemed uncomfortable, as she was under my dark glare. She shifted anxiously. "W-Well, Tsunade-sama thought it was best - "
"And what does she know?!" I demanded. "Why should we enslave someone who means us no harm?! Well?!"
"You'll push them away," Papa said. "To use your hatred, you would sacrifice the happiness you've found. You would succumb to the darkness all over again, and this time, I'm not sure anyone could pull you out again. Do you understand, Miwako-chan?"
My heart constricted and all the scenes dissolved away. Instead, I stood on a path that split off at a cross section. Papa stood on a path to my left, lit by white light. The path to my right was twisted and enveloped into darkness, and the path behind me seemed dark and lonely.
Papa stretched out a hand to me. "I know your life has been hard, Miwako-chan. I know it's been painful and I know you're hurting. But, it doesn't have to be that way. You can be happy, Miwako-chan, but you need to accept that this is your life. That while it has been hard, it can still be wonderful. You can still smile, you can still laugh and your future is yours to control. You don't have to define yourself by your past, Miwako-chan. You don't need hatred to be strong. Accept your life, and accept yourself."
I stared at the hand Papa stretched out to me for several heartbeats before I glanced back. Red eyes glistened in the darkness behind me, watching me.
I closed my eyes, breathing out slowly before I reopened them.
I reached for his hand.
My feet touched down in the water, and I looked up at the red eyes behind the red cage. Papa was beside me, but I did not look at him. Instead, I kicked off from the water and stretched out my hand.
My fingers wrapped around the seal tag over Kurama's gate and I pulled it back.
Papa floated up beside me, looking at the new seal to present itself. "I had embedded some of your mothers' chakra into the seal, so when you and Naruto were prepared to fight Kurama, she could help you. I didn't even consider the fact that you would befriend him."
I gave Papa a sheepish look. Papa smiled brightly at me. "I think it's wonderful, Miwako-chan."
Papa reached out a hand to the seal. His fingers dug into the seal and he twisted. Slowly, the seal began to unravel itself. As it did so, Papa turned to me and his smile softened.
"It's time I left," Papa said, his eyes warm.
My eyes stung and I flung myself at him, wrapping my arms around him and hugging him tightly. "Thank you, Papa."
He hugged me tightly. "Aa. That's what Papas are for."
"I love you."
"I love you, too, Miwako-chan," Papa said, his voice thick. "Take care of yourself and your brother… and Kurama… please watch over my daughter."
The gate opened and Papa disappeared. Kurama grinned at me, leering above me. "Keh. As if your daughter needs anyone to take care of her…"
I smiled warmly at Kurama, feeling his hot breath wash over me. "Looks like you don't need a seal on my side anymore."
"Heh. That didn't take too long," Kurama commented, raising his hands up into the Dragon seal and changing the scenery back to the beach.
"Papa helped me," I said, smiling.
Kurama lowered his head and eyed me. "You seem happier."
"I feel happier."
"I know. I can feel it. Keh… well, then, now that that's over with, let's get started with some real training."
My smile widened. "Aa, Kurama… sama."
Kurama sat back in surprise, his ears perked up and his eyes widening. He stared at me with an expression that reminded me vaguely of pleased embarrassment. He then turned his nose up and looked away from me. "Hmph. About time you started showing me the appropriate respect. Now then... Which do you want to start with first? Beast Transformation or Beast Bomb?"
Woot. Now we know where Naruto gets his therapy-no-jutsu from. Minato!
You know, I thought when I graduated HS, I would have more time. I could not have been proven more wrong. I got an engineering internship 'bout half an hour away from my home. Been workin' 8 – 10 hours a day for it, and then comin' home all tired.
Double update in part for compensation for the lateness. I'll double / triple update next, depending how many chapters the next arc is. I'll post that arc in one go (possibly one more, depending on how many chapters it takes to transition), and then the final arc will be posted, too, in one go.
So, the second (maybe third, depending how many chapters) time this story updates, should be the last time.
In regards to the next arc, I've decided to do a movie, but I'm torn between which movie.
Either the time-travel one where Naruto (Miwako in this case) goes back in time and works with Minato, or Road to Ninja... Just to clarify, the genjutsu would be what Naruto and Miwako want, so they'll be some... twists... to say the least.
If you have a preference, please let me know. :)
Answer: Guilty-pleasure crack pairings, huh? HashiMada, and Ulquihime come to mind.
Question: Pick a favorite character from any form of fiction, and if they needed an intervention, what would that intervention be? (Such as Naruto would need an intervention with his obsession with Sasuke / need to save every goddamn person he comes across / infatuation with ramen / etc).
Reviews are love!
Eh. And because I'm a mean son of a gun…
Preview (maybe not for next chapter exactly, depending on which movie was picked, but in the upcoming ones, at least):
I am breaking the law.
I am betraying Naruto's village.
I am going to murder this man.

Twitter is My FriendFeed
Jay Parkhill June 6th, 2008
I don't totally get the point of FriendFeed- or maybe I just don't like it. I consider it a meta-social network because it doesn't do a lot that is totally new. It aggregates my contributions across the web (and those of people I follow), but there isn't very much to actually do on the service.
At the same time, I would love a social web "home base"- a place I where I could both aggregate and contribute. I use Twitter and Brightkite a lot, but one friend might post often to Flickr and another to Yelp. Home Base would be a single place from which I could both keep track of my friends' activity, and also interact with their photos, tweets and reviews.
Friendfeed lets me post to Twitter, but still isn't as dynamic as that platform and it ends up being just another place for me to check, but not to post from.
In the end, it comes down to where most of my friends are. I have the most contacts on Facebook currently, but interact with people less there than any other other social network I'm on. That's just me, I know. Plenty of people have entirely fulfilling internet social lives on Facebook.
I've realized that the place I interact with friends the most is Twitter. In addition, many other services feed into Twitter easily, so I can add a new service and not have to rebuild my social graph there before it becomes useful.
I'm close to the point of putting my Twitter ID on my email signature because it's such a good way to get in touch with me, but at the same time I'm afraid of getting any more attached to Twitter because of its reliability problems. It's really a shame. The service is so easy and so valuable. I sure hope they can overcome their "we built the wrong platform at the outset" issues and become the powerhouse they deserve to be.

Question about Televison & Video
*I think I accidentally posted my question as a solution just early to someone else's similar question. Sorry.
Has anyone been able to locate schematics for the power supply in this thing? The undersized power supply seems to the main point of failure. Otherwise, I have been pleased with the unit. Mine was sent back to Polaroid for RMA back in February 2008. I don't think any warranty is in effect now.
Please let me know if any one has tried to trouble shoot the TOPOW DVD RW POWER857B power supply. Two of the chips I can not identify are the 8pin Dip 2216A & a 4in dip 7703
I have tried to locate the power supply manufacturer: Shenzhen Topow Electronics Co., Ltd. Their website is:http://www.topow.com.cn but my web browser can't handle the Chinese to English translation.
I think it is very likely that an AT or ATX power supply could be substituted if all the pinouts of the original power supply are known.
**Both times, my unit failed shortly after the fan started making noise. The problem has to be heat related.
Posted by TexasHouston on
I have the same unit with a bad power supply. I can not find out anything about it. If you found out anything about it would you let me know. email@example.com
Might check the capacitor for power up failure... mine went down... but capacitor looked toasted...I'm going to test it...I'll keep you posted... mine is for a DVD player/ recorder with Topow Power 853D board (same circuit board maybe a few different components,,,
I have the same problem and would like to know where to buy a new one or have mine repaired. Contact me by email email@example.com
I have repair my supply board by replace the 2 capacitors and 1
mosfet because the 5VDC was failure
the mosfet is a IRFP 150 or similar and capacitors are same models
becarefull the 330ohms resistor dont touch the capacitor
or a great risk of short circuit destroy the 5VDC
best regards

We can agree that immigrants have contributed in no small part to making Canada this place we're all so proud of. My father is an immigrant from Hungary, and my mother's family immigrated many generations ago.
For most of our history, we've been prudent about who we bring in, and that's a policy we must continue. We should be bringing in immigrants who can contribute to our society and help us build an even stronger country. Skilled immigrants are examples of those more likely to contribute to our economy. Language proficiency is a part of that.
In the face of such turbulent global dynamics, we need to look at welcoming immigrants who can integrate quickly, not just for our economic well-being, but also our national security.
I support more face to face interviews.
The other aspect welcoming immigrants here is to ensure we have plans and infrastructure in place to help them integrate as quickly as possible. That familiar story about doctors from India coming here and ending up driving taxis – it's not without basis. We need to help them put their skills to work, so we all benefit.
In places like Syria, where tragic atrocities have taken place, we need to help the Syrian people fight the source of the problem where it exists – that's helping to contain the threat of ISIS in the Middle East alongside our allies.
Further, some of the international outcry surround the conditions of the refugee camps. There is more Canada can do to help improve the conditions of those camps so it is more livable, so that picking up and moving to another country isn't the only option available to the refugees.
When the Trudeau Liberals bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees in a matter of months, without a plan to help them integrate, this is irresponsible governing. Not only is it tough on the refugees to come to a totally different cultural setting, it is tough on our taxpayers who are footing the bill while refugees are left to figure out on their own how to find work, find housing, and learn our culture.
I believe in common-sense governing. I believe in creating the right conditions for people – regardless how long they have been here – to achieve success.

MLB Betting Predictions: Oakland Athletics vs Cleveland Indians
Tonight the Oakland Athletics take on the Cleveland Indians after a 3-0 shutout victory against the Tribe last night. BetDSI Sportsbook current live betting lines display Oakland as -115 favorites over the San Diego Padres.
The Oakland A's have been playing some good baseball of late winning 8 of their last 10 and are currently on a three game streak. Tonight's game they march out left handed pitcher Tommy Malone to take on Cleveland's Zach McAllister.
Malone had really been struggling since late July with four losses in a row until a great performance against the Minnesota Twins just six days ago. In tht contest Malone pitched 8 innings giving up just two hits and one earn run while fanning five.
It is as if the Cleveland Indians have not shown up to play baseball in quite sometime. They have just won one game out of their past 10 and are a game below .500 at home going 31-32 on the season. Starting pitcher for tonight Zach McAllister isn't a bad pitcher at all usually good for 6 to 8 innings.
In McAllister's last contest against the Mariners he allowed 3 hits in six innings and just one earned run in one of his best performances of late. He is not likely to get much run support as the Indians have been shutout twice in the past 10 games while being held to 1 run three times during the same span.
MLB Betting Predictions:
The Oakland Athletics are my pick for tonight, the Indians were shut out last night. Cleveland is not showing up to play baseball while the Athletics have been closing the season strong, and I look for that to continue in this contest.
Last night we had Oakland against the Indians as one half of our winning parlay and we will be Taking them again tonight at the -115 moneyline over the Cleveland Indians. Remember BetDSI Sportsbook features dime line betting on MLB year round for fun at any betting level.

Description: The eight-year-old child is an exuberant, outgoing bundle of energy; he meets every challenge head-on, willing to try almost anything. Sometimes parents are amazed at the enthusiasm and excitement with which their child greets the world. However, eight is also a time when the child begins to do a great deal of analyzing and evaluating, finding fault in himself and others--especially Mohter. How do parents help an eight-year-old through this up-and-down age? What should parents expect in their relationships with the child and how can life in the family be made easier? What will the child's relationship with friends and siblings be like? In the successful tradition of the Gesell institute series, Your Eight-Year-Old is a well-researched, highly accessible guide.

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you". ~ Carl Sandburg
In Greek there are two words for 'time': Chronos means amounts of time, like "20 minutes" or "two days". Kairos means the time when something occurs, like "attwo o'clock" or "next Sunday". We can think of time as a currency, like money, and decide to "spend" an hour on one thing or another.
But unlike money, hours are never the same. "Time" cannot be saved, bought, sold or mortgaged. Time is an invaluable commodity that we must protect and nurture actively and take responsibility to invest wisely. We only have one life to live. Time management can make it worth living.
Stephen Covey author of the book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" tells a great story about the real things that we should devote our time to: "One day an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business executives. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said, "
Okay, time for a quiz." He then pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed Mason jar and set it on the table. He produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them one at a time into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class said, "Yes." Then he said, "Really?"
He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing it to work down into the space between the big rocks. Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand and started dumping the sand in the jar until it filled the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel.
Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" "No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"
One executive raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!" "No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point." "The truth this illustration teaches us is that if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all.
What are the 'big rocks' in your life? Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all. If you sweat about the little stuff then you'll fill your life with little things and you'll never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff." So ask yourself this question: What are the 'big rocks' in my life? Then, put those in your jar first."
There is no mystery about managing time. Everyone has 24 hours each day and 168 hours each week to eat, sleep, work, relax, exercise… There is nothing magical about getting the most from these hours; it just takes planning. But time management does require self-discipline and control until the behavioral changes are internalized and time management becomes an everyday habit. Plans and schedules for managing time are useless if one does not follow them.
Building time management strategies is similar to planning a budget. Just as the goal of a budget is to put you in control of your money, your goal in time management is to regain control of your time. The first step in forming time management strategies is to analyze how you spend your time. After you've analyzed your time, begin planning by creating a "To Do List"; listing obligations, meetings, appointments, special events…
According to Jared Sandberg, task lists "aren't the key to productivity [that] they're cracked up to be". He reports an estimated "30% of listers spend more time managing their lists than [they do] completing what's on them". This could be caused by procrastination and prolonging the planning activity. This is akin to analysis paralysis. As with any activity, there's a point of diminishing returns.
Lord Chesterfield stated, "If you watch the minutes carefully, the hours will take care of themselves. Ask yourself regularly, "Am I making the most of my time right now?" The 80/20 rule states that we tend to spend 80% of our time on projects that have a 20% return. Concentrate your efforts on the 20% of things that have the highest value to you. There are several barriers to scheduling you may need to overcome. These barriers are the 'time wasters'.
The biggest is procrastination. The second barrier is interruptions. The third barrier is stress. It's been shown that 75% of all worries never actually happen. But the stress over these fictitious events can waste many hours. Perhaps the best way to overcome these barriers and others is simply to create habits of good time management…
In the article "10 Tips for Time Management in a Multitasking World" by Penelope Trunk writes: In today's workplace, you can differentiate yourself by your ability to handle information and manage your time. "Careers are made or broken by the soft skills that make you able to hand a very large workload," says Merlin Mann. "The ability to quickly process and synthesize information and turn it into actions is one of the most emergent skills of the professional world today".
Each person has a best time. You can discover yours by monitoring your productivity over a period of time. Then you need to manage your schedule to keep your best time free for your most important work. If you don't know what you should be doing, how can you manage your time to do it? Some people prepare a "To-Do List" and write it out by hand that shows commitment to each item, and then rewrite it each day until it gets done.
In the article "Time Management for Leaders" writes: Time in the organization is constant and irreversible. Nothing can be substituted for time. Worse, once wasted, it can never be regained. Leaders have numerous demands on their limited time. No matter what their position, they cannot stop time, they cannot slow it down, nor can they speed it up.
Thus, time needs to be effectively managed. On the other hand, you can become such a time fanatic that you start to waste more time by managing it, to deeply. Keep it simple, analyze how you spend time and implement a few time saving methods that will gain the most time.
"What use is wizardry if it cannot save a unicorn? What use is saving time if you do not get something in exchange? ~ Peter S. Beagle
In the article "Time Management" by Karen Patterson writes: The old adage, "all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy," is absolutely true. A well-balanced life includes time for things other than work: for things that are much more important than work; family and friends, health and recreation, spiritual development and volunteerism, among others. So, practicing time management at your job is not merely so you get more work squeezed into an eight-hour day, but mostly so you have time for the important things in life.
In the article "Time Management" writes: Great time management is one of the most vital skills leaders can develop. All of us have the same number of hours in a day, and no amount of effort can change that. What we can influence is how we spend those hours. A quote from Stephen Covey sums up how we can best use our time : "I am personally persuaded that best thinking in area of time management can be captured in a single phrase : Organize and execute around priorities."
In the article "Time: You Can Never Get Back, But…" writes: If you're doing more and enjoying it less, it's time to make real choices about how and when to spend your time. The notion is not new. Tim Ferriss recommend strict time constraints in his book "The 4-Hour Work Week." He argued that much of the work we do is of questionable importance and conducted at low efficiency.
If we instead identify only the most important tasks, he said, and tackle them under severe constraints, we'd be surprised by how little time we actually require. Consider this simple formula: Time = Creative 50% + Working 30% + Other 20%
What if your "big goal" in life is to spend half of your working time on creative work — thinking, researching, and writing — a third of time on regular work, and then cram everything else into the last 20%. Then track your time and monitor progress on a spreadsheet. This is a pristine example of 'fixed-schedule' productivity in action.
A fixed-schedule approach to life comes from a simple conviction "to produce a lasting and distinctive body of work," and the "willingness…to focus on what not to do as much as what to do" can make this possible. The steps to adopting fixed-schedule productivity are straightforward:
- Choose a work schedule that you think provides the ideal balance of effort and relaxation.
- Do whatever it takes to avoid violating this schedule.
Some interesting time management statistics from the UK: Emphasizing the huge significance and opportunities in time management, a 2007 Survey by Proudfoot Consulting covering 2,500 businesses over four years, indicated that wasted time costs UK businesses £80bn per year, equivalent to 7% of GDP. The causes of wasted time — labor inefficiency:
- Inadequate workforce supervision (31%)
- Poor management planning (30%)
- Poor communication (18%)
- IT problems, low morale, and lack or mismatch of skills (21%)
Clearly organizations are vastly under-utilizing their people, and could be doing a lot more to enable more efficient working. These failings of organization and leadership make it all the more important for individual people to think creatively about time management, and particularly to start making changes to improve time management at a personal individual level.
In the article "The Secret of Time Management Revealed" by Alan Lakin writes: Unless we take conscious control of our decision making, we'll tend to react to the urgent, even if it's relatively unimportant, and shun the important, unless it also carries a sense of urgency. Simply stop what you're doing, take a breath, and ask yourself the following question:
"Is this what I want or need to be doing right now?" Note; it's "or," not "and."
If the answer to this question is "yes," go back to what you were doing. You will have affirmed your choice of activities and made your decision consciously, the key element in time management. However, if you want or need to do it but not right now, then put it off and do something else with a higher degree of time sensitivity. And if you neither want nor need to be doing it, now or ever–STOP!
It may seem amazing to you, but if you stick with the "want/need" question for 21 days, you really will catch yourself doing things you can't justify doing on any grounds, and you'll find yourself shifting activities to better serve your needs. This simple question can make a tremendous positive difference in the way you live.
However, time management isn't always a matter of time at all. Stop looking. You'll never find time. It isn't lost. You're living it. You have to consciously decide to live it in certain ways and not others. You have to make time by taking it away from one activity and giving it to another…
Time management is one of the greatest skills you can develop. Being able to manage your time effectively can mean being successful in your career or reaching important life goals. In the big picture, time management may determine whether you look back on your life one day and reflect on the wonderful things you have done in your life, or whether those dreams you had were just that, dreams.
"Time is the scarcest resource of the manager; if it is not managed, nothing else can be managed" ~ Peter F Drucker

What Type Of Attorney Can Help Me After A Car Accident
Full Video Transcript
If you are in a car accident and there are injuries involved, it's likely you'll eventually be dealing with attorneys. If you were responsible for the accident, then your car insurance company will help guide your legal defense. If you were the accident victim, then you'll want to speak with a personal injury attorney. Depending on your case, your personal injury attorney will accept your case on what's known as a contingency basis. This means you won't have to pay for your attorney's help until you obtain a settlement or a verdict with the person that hit you. Usually, your personal injury attorney will want at least 30 percent of what you obtain in settlement. If your case goes to trial, that percentage will usually increase to over 40 percent. Although personal injury lawsuits can be brief, it's common for relatively minor cases to last over a year.

"His name did not ring a bell. He told us he was more involved with artists in Los Angeles than with his fellow architects. He did not seem to know many people at the party, and it did not take long to see that he was something of an outlier. But he was not a typical outlier, or he would not have been there at all. He was an outlier who wanted in, but, as I discovered as time went by, on his own terms. That evening began a conversation that has lasted for more than four decades."
– From "Building Art: The Life and Work of Frank Gehry," (Knopf) by Paul Goldberger.

It's Christmas Eve at RedBalloon!
We've just had a traditional Christmas lunch (thanks to our Christmas elves) and now we're all gathered around the scoreboard watching the numbers increase every time a new RedBalloon experience is purchased.
Christmas for us is by far our busiest period… and this year we were playing for 654,321 experiences sold by 4pm Christmas eve! And we made it… with a full hour to go!
There was clapping and cheering around the office as not only had we just made our target, but this meant that we each received a RedBalloon experience from our wishlist to celebrate. I bagged a massage at home voucher… which is just what the doctor ordered after our crazy Christmas rush!
Everyone pulled their weight to reach our number and we each supported one another. It was such a relief to know that we had won our game and could now throw our feet up right in time for a Christmas early mark… (but not the Pleasure Relations Team whose phone was still ringing off the hook).
We then all gathered around as we all opened our Kris Kringle's and Naomi announced and reminded us on this year's many achievements… and ended with revealing this years 'Higgins Award' winner for best performance. Drum roll please *drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*… the winner is ME! (blush). I didn't expect to be chosen for the award (it didn't even cross my mind) as I have never considered what I do at RedBalloon to be 'outstanding'… I simply love being a part of the RedBalloon family and playing the game! We're on a mission to change gifting forever and it's such a relief working for a company I believe in and a wonderful feeling to know that you are recognised for what you bring to the team!
Thanks everyone : )
And until my next blog … Happy New Year!

We have been developing 240sxlisted.com for the past few months. Our intentions are to provide a 1 stop Nissan 240sx version of craigslist. Strickly Nissan 240sx related ads.We are Nissan lovers just like you, we have been in the 240sx scene for years so we know what you are looking for in a website!
3800.00 Dollar US$ Nissan 240sx 1990 Daily Driver/Grip Tuning Houston
- Location: Magnolia, Houston, United States
I'm selling my black Nissan 240sx 1990, daily driver, but it's barely been driven.
I love it but I don't have the money or time for it, it runs beautifully. The last owner swapped the engine and opened up the pistons, & tuned it for grip performance. so it's a relatively new engine and he put on a performance suspension. It has a cooling fan, which I got a new switch for. It also comes with a iridescent DC Sports gear knob.
The dash cluster is off because I was trying to fix it, but it comes with two clusters
And a box of parts for the car that it came with
The only thing is, my key got stolen so, you would have to bring a dolly to take it away. you would have to get a key made, which isn't a lot since it's an older model car, I've called and it's 100$ max to get one made
Other than that, the car is amazing,
Text me if you're interested and want to come see the car, $3800 OBO (touch screen radio and aftermarket speakers included with $3800)

"Everyday Americans need a champion. I want to be that champion"
Hillary Rodham Clinton's second presidential bid was announced by campaign chairman John Podesta Sunday alongside the launch of hillaryclinton.com.
In a video posted to the new campaign website, Clinton portrayed herself as a "champion" to everyday people.
"Americans have fought there way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top," Clinton says. "Everyday Americans need a champion. I want to be that champion."
According to Podesta, Clinton is set to "hit the road to Iowa to start talking directly with voters."
In her first campaign video, Hillary was dressed similarly with as a Chinese communist party member, addressed only women in general, single mothers, feminists, gays, lesbians, Mexican people, Black people, Asian people and race mixed families but no normal white American couples, yet she expects your vote. Are you sure you want to vote for someone who forgets about you?
A large portion of the campaign will undoubtedly be spent deflecting attention away from the myriad of political scandals Clinton embroiled herself in during her time as Secretary of State.
Clinton joins Republicans Rand Paul and Ted Cruz in the presidential race for 2016.
