Back in Konoha and once again, it seems I'm back in the hospital. I've never been fond of the sterile smell of the hospital. One reason I never aspired to be a medic-nin.This isn't such a bad thing. I've needed some time to rest my body and mind anyway, so having sick leave isn't the worst way of accomplishing that. Hospitals are nice and quiet ( Read more... )

With Naruto and I teaming up against Akatsuki, our chances would be better. However, despite the renewed energy, I knew it was foolish to charge in on pure adrenaline. We'd have to go off the plan of working the two against one another with the contrast of their technique and style ( Read more... )

It took me some time to catch up with Naruto. They had run fairly quickly although Deidara had apparently decided to stop and have it out with him; besides the which, I was still running on injuries and lowered chakra ( Read more... )

Naruto and I were forced into combat with the Akatsuki, and I'd already sustained an injury. Explosives can be both the easier and the harder kind of pain to shrug off. The pain is fairly easy to push aside, but the hit area becomes more sensitive to wind, impact, and attacks ( Read more... )

The retrival of one Uzumaki Naruto, who left the village without authorization not too long ago. I've been looking to bring him back and own up to his "obligations", so it's just as well I be the one to go fetch him anyway ( Read more... )

Since agreeing to help the younger kunoichi prepare themselves and the stage for the upcoming festival, more and more people have been coming to me with their questions. For some reason, they must all think I'm in charge of the entire entertainment structure, which, at this point, I very may well be! Other entertainment booths have come to me ( Read more... )

Well Ino's back from her mission. I think she'll be going back to her own home soon too, although she hasn't quite said as much. Actually, she hasn't quite said much of anything since her mission; after talking with Tenten, she's become even quieter. I wonder if anything happened ( Read more... )

Well, things seemed to have calmed down from the dinner. I'm a little surprised there weren't as many rumors going on about it like last year especially from Tenten. I'll be grateful for small miracles however ( Read more... )
