I haven't updated this thing in forever, but I have been seriously busy lately, so I think I can be forgiven. I've been training really hard with Genma-sensei, taking lower class missions here and there, and getting used to having Ino back (meaning I hear, "I almost died" at least three times a day, sometimes more.)
