Role of Seven

New chapter up, part 2 of Chapter 4 to be exact. I decided to work on cutting my author notes shorter by just putting the end of chapter notes up here. So here we go:
For starters, I don't think I'll ever be able to write a Naruto fan-fic without mentioning Tora. I don't know why such a basic scene caught my interest, but I really can't get that poor cat out of my head.
I also think I need to stop starting conversations in these fics. Whenever I do, they end up going on for pages with useless information but then I don't feel like deleting them because they make the posts look longer.
I also think I need to stop trying to be vague, like that conversation between the Daimyo and Tsunade. That does not come across as properly vague, it just makes them sound stupid.

As for the whole performance thing, I came up with that for AtD (including the one in this chapter) when I was really into dance. It's more acrobatics than anything (which makes sense once you have more context about the characters). It's kinda hard to write from a spectators point of view when you're not used to writing movement or much detail so I doubt I really got across what I was trying to get across, but it was actually fun so I'm not at all sorry if you didn't enjoy it (yeah I'm in a childish mood at the moment).
And no, Sakura isn't nervous because she's grabbing Naruto's arm. She's grabbing his arm to comfort herself over her realization and is nervous because she tried to talk to Kakashi when he's obviously out of it.

Lastly, I'm trying to make Tsunade seem a little more aware this time around since in AtD and in earlier chapters of this she didn't really seem to get that the villagers can be nasty. It's still kinda lumped into one place because of time skips, but hopefully it helps a bit.

Also, the Mizukage is now quite as random as she seems. She was supposed to have more lines in this part of the chapter, but then I didn't feel like writing them right now so they'll go in the next part of the chapter.

I can't really think of anything else right now, but feel free to ask any (well not any) questions that you have. I'm not always prompt in getting back to you, but I've been doing better lately.

And now, this little agent is going to bed because she's been up all night and is freaking tired.
