Well, the boys and I have returned from our Grand Journey and Adventure of Manhood!!!! (uh, working title)

We hit quite a few snags, but I'd say we each learned something new and valuable. Including how the Kazekage has a pretty twisted sense of humor. I thought she was serious about the torture!! I was shouting all sorts of things like, "Spare ( Read more... )

Well we survived that swamp just fine! Nothing brings guys closer together than having to rely on the primal instincts that make us! (...or having to huddle together under a make-shift shelter when it unexpectedly rained on us--but we don't speak of that.)Well the "reclaiming property" bit was actually finding a lost cat. Ha! Been a while since ( Read more... )

Well, the boys and I have been a full week on the road! We've been finishing the few mission we've had in record time--mostly deliveries (see, I told you they'd be easy enough, boys). Which has left us plenty of time to get to Sand spend time camping out and doing some good male-bonding ( Read more... )

With Ino gone, I've found this the perfect opportunity to spy on her spend some quality time with the boys! A camping trip!!!

...Of course, taking a vacation during a time when the village needs missions completed is a bit difficult to do. But luckily, with my charm and connections and much smoozing, I've been able to convince administration to ( Read more... )

I've been growing... very concerned about Ino going on this mission to Sand. Yes she won't be alone, but I still feel a little unsure that sending two young, genin kunoichi into recently shakey-ally territory is wise. If even one jounin, or a chuunin went with them, I think I'd feel a little better. (I wouldn't mind a whole squad of anbu either ( Read more... )

Well Shikato, I have to say that your boy is actually quite a good worker. (You'll understand this comes as something of a shock, having worked with YOU before when we were kids and knowing how in the past Choumaru and I couldn't get you to carry a load of hay into a barn if your life depended on it. You'd think working hard on a deer field would ( Read more... )

Er... ahem. It's come to my attention that perhaps I was a bit... hasty earlier. And as such, I owe an apology to some.

Shikato, sorry for accusing your son of abusing and enslaving my daughter. (Although turns out I was right and she was sorta his servant, if by her own will ( Read more... )

After much hiding and fear of my credit reports, Ino-chan forgave me for the whole wedding fiasco. She didn't even use my credit card like she threatened! Oh, what a wonderful, precious daughter I have~!!

...Which is why I'm going to have to kill Nara's son for giving her a black eye. *armed with weapons and kunai* How dare he harm my little ( Read more... )

I'm going to have to have a talk with Shikato. Planning the wedding between our children is one thing. Sending out invitations to attend the ceremony next week is quite another! It's too soon to take my baby girl away from me ( Read more... )

As the father of Konoha's prettiest and talented kunoichi, I worry about my little Ino-hime often--especially concerning the attentions of possible suitors. Bless my little baby, but she's just too beautiful for her own good! Soon I'll have to build a trap-door under out welcome mat. And Rose Petal needs more "special training." Recent ( Read more... )
