Role of Seven - Chapter ?

I think I'll just go with the website's numbering so that makes this chapter 17.
Notes for Chapter 17:

I've read about filler that suggests Mizuki was working for Orochimaru or something but even if that's canon, Naruto wouldn't know that at this point.

It's been a while sinceI've looked at a map of the village but I always imagine the Academy building being close to the Administration building/ Hokage tower. Don't correct me if I'm wrong, I like this image.

Sakura's holding his 'official' file, not a classified one. I'd compare this library to the one Naruto broke into in the first chapter. Access is definitely restricted, but even if Sakura wasn't Tsunade's apprentice, she might be able to get in anyways. I'm sure she'll eventually realize this.

Second note, the random ANBU isn't a stranger to you guys. And I only really threw him in here to give you guys an 'excuse' to reread older parts of the story. I know updates take me forever and that makes it harder to keep up with what's going on.

Role of Seven Update

New Chapter up for Role of Seven.
This was supposed to be up yesterday as a Valentine's Day gift just to let you all know that I am still here and actually working on updates. The files were unfortunately lost so I'm working from scratch here, which means things will take more time than I had originally hoped.
This chapter is short and ...rough. And kind of boring. But it helps me launch back into the action so hopefully things will be smoother from here on out.
Notes for this chapter:

Was Kakashi in jail? Was he not? You might never know, this is one of those completely non-canon parts of the back story. If they ever get the nerve to ask Kakashi he will likely not answer them. (I think 21 is the only story in which I leave Kakashi's back story untouched).

Timeline is a bit wild (I had it cemented in my notes but now I'm recreating it...) The first chapter took place 6 months after Tsunade became Hokage. I'd add another 7-8 months for the stuff before that, and we've gone through almost 5 months story wise so that makes it more like a year and half but Rishito's rounding anyways.

And lastly, Naruto never told Sakura when he found out about Kyuubi. He mentioned Mizuki explaining it but no timeline. This just pretty much cements the anti-authoritarian thing she's been focusing on for the past week in lieu of thinking about her parents' deaths.

Ro7 - When You're Sleeping

Okay I lied. There's still another segment after this one, but this one is longer than most of them have been so I decided it was a good sized update. I'm starting to think I shouldn't even worry about how many segments the chapters are broken up into. I know it makes it kind of drag on but oh well.
'When You're Sleeping' part 5 is up.
Okay, so maybe it was just because I managed to write like 15 pages and refer to Naruto a bunch of times without actually showing him and I found it funny. He will be in the next segment of this chapter, and in most of the ones after this, I promise.

So here's the notes:
The actions of the Akatsuki in this fic are based on very little from the manga/anime. Like what we knew before time skip. So Sasori here isn't really based on what we know of him from the Sand arc, it's just his character and abilities, not so much his motivations and stuff.

Also, sorry if some of the convo's seem like overkill. Not everyone is on the same page right now so there was repetition. I hope there was enough difference in each of them that you got something new from each one.

I don't know Inuzuka Hana's age from the manga. She's meant to be 20/21 here. And yes, if you remember what I said a few updates ago about Jiro being Itachi's teammate, you now know that Hana was as well. I like tying characters together, but if it seems like too much just let me know. Some people think it's too much to remember, so sorry if it does seem that way.

Lastly, I really need to work on balancing conversation with other stuff. Now it's just coming across as chunks of dialogue interrupte occasionally by an internal monologue and I don't like it. I also need to work on my dialogue itself. Most people all talk the same and it gets boring when the characters' voices don't come through.
Bleh,
I'm out til next time, I totally need a cigarette.

Oh, one last thing. Apparently my already not so great editing skills are slipping. Now I've thought this over a lot, and I don't want to go back to beta reader in the normal sense. At least not before I update. Because I update randomly I don't want to have to work around someone else's schedule (or try to find someone who can work around mine); I like being able to update when I finish a chapter.
However, I've been thinking that if anyone is interested in editing a chapter after I've posted it, I would be willing to send them the file so that they can look at the source (and write in about corrections) rather than just trying to make a note of mistakes in a review. If you ever notice something bad in a chapter and you decide you want to do this, just let me know (along with an email adress and whether or not you can accept attachments). I might not take you up on it right away if I'm being lazy, but I probably will. You can also request older chapters if you really want to. I will update edited chapters if I get them - maybe not right away (again kinda lazy) - maybe something like once a month make any corrections I've been told about or something like that.
Just let me know if you're interested.

Ro7 - When You're Sleeping

Okay, it's a short segment, but I hope it will tide you over for a bit.
Part 4 of 'When You're Sleeping'.
Just some quick general notes. A few people noted that they're already confused by original characters. I think some of the confusion will be cleared up as some of them appear more and others fade away but I'd like to know how bad the confusion is. Once I've finished this chapter, I'll probably put together a post on the blog about original characters with small bios and such. If there's anything you really want me to put in this post, let me know here.

Also, in hopes of getting up a bit more of a discussion here, I figured I'd put up some more in depth posts about Ro7. If there's anything you want to hear/talk about, let me know and I'll get started on that.

Finally, as soon as this is posted, I'm going back to work on cleaning up my outlines/timelines (there are sadly multiple). Once that is cleared up I shouldn't have any more delays. Sorry about this, I'm not normally this disorganized. That's the main reason this chapter is so short as I already managed to confuse myself a bit, so I stopped this segment here (after the funeral) and I'll pick it up again as soon as I've done my revisions. I'm not updating again until 'When You're Sleeping' is over because I really don't want to be splitting chapters up into this many segments; it makes the story seem like it's dragging on far more than it's meant to.

No real chapter notes this time - nothing much to talk about - I will say that I'm not thrilled with the ending of the funeral as I think it makes the chapter seem unfinished and (even though it technically is) I'm normally pretty good about cutting these segments off in better places.

Oh well, I hope it won't be long before I update again, but like I said above, it won't be until this chapter is completely finished.

Update...Maybe?

Okay, I think I might be able to finish an update for 'Role of Seven' some time this weekend. No guarantees, and if it comes it won't be very long but I figure it's better than nothing.

Ro7 - When You're Sleeping

New Chapter again for Role of Seven, 'When You're Sleeping Pt 3'.
I mentioned this in a post earlier this week but I miscalculated a bit. I had hoped to keep this chapter to just 2 segments but it's going to be 5 instead. The next two will be up sometime over the next 2 or 3 weeks but there might be a few delays since I'm working on Juniper for a bit.

Here's the notes for the chapter:
Hifukidake is my name for the capitol so that I don't have to keep calling it the capitol. For a ninja going fast they could probably make it from Konoha to Hifukidake in six or seven hours (like the run Rin and Kakashi made before chapter 1); average pace for civilians, especially a large group would be two or three days.

I used the name Kokushi for AtD. She's one of Hana's personal dogs; if I remember correctly, the name means 'beauty mark'.

And Takara's back from AtD, sort of. I hope you weren't too attached to her original form because I wasn't. I changed her a bit so that I could get rid of two other characters and decided to change her name as well since I was sick of typing 'Takara'. Meet Kushoku (Koushoku means yellow/amber, but her mother dropped the first o); it's an awkward name and she hates it.
Kato, Daiki, and Suzu are back as well; there won't be any really noticeable changes for any of them but they will be in a bit more to pick up the slack of said missing characters.

Anraku is made up place. For those of you new to this, it's the home city of the Nami family and it will be in this story more than it was in AtD.

Rishito's parentage wasn't always popular in AtD so I'll say pretty much the same thing here. Kakashi and Rin can hardly be called more than friends, even with a kid. This'll be explained later (though some of you might remember the joke). I normally only ship Kakashi as a joke anyways - and that's normally just to piss off homophobes - so there you go.

I'm trying to keep Rin's sarcasm to a minimum. Anko and Kakashi are probably the only ones who will bring it out much since she strikes me as being more long suffering. Especially around Tsunade and people like that I'm going to really try and keep it in check - it got out of hand in AtD and made no sense.

And the Akatsuki. They've shown up more here than in AtD as well. I kind of floundered with them for a while and then just stopped talking about them in AtD so I'm trying to do better with them this time. It still won't mesh with canon Akatsuki but hopefully it'll be better this time.

I'm also working to get more into the characters with more than just conversation. I think I've mentioned this before, but the conversations were getting out of hand and I keep feeling like I'm either leaving stuff out or just repeating it too much. It doesn't show in this segment but hopefully in the next two segments and then the next few chapters we'll be spending more time on individual characters - like inner monologues and stuff. I just don't want to get as angsty as I did when writing AtD; I thought it was funny at the time but I just don't think I could handle trying to write like that again.

I think that's all for now. See you in a week or so. Less time if I get anything done with Juniper.

No Good Deed - Chapter 2

There's finally a new chapter up at No Good Deed.
'3 and 1/2 Years to Kyuubi's Sealing'
Here's the notes:
If you don't remember Kachuu from the first chapter of it, he's meant to be Minato's teammate from when they trained under Jiraiya. In this fic, I decided that he was also Kuchina's older brother. People seemed to really like her from the manga, so I decided to give her a cameo in this chapter. Uchiha Eriko is made up, she's Kuchina's former teammate.
We've also met Taji, briefly, in Chapter 1 & 2 of Ro7.
Ibara is not technically original. She's one of the b****es who makes fun of Naruto after he fails the genin exam - I don't remember which off the top of my head but this was the name one of the fan sites gave her.
Suzu has been mentioned within Ro7 as well.
There is a second part to this chapter but I don't think I'm going to put it up until after Chapter like 12 of Ro7 (by my numbering not fanfiction's).

Because it's been so long since the last update and the first since I started this blog I figured I'd explain it a bit. Basically No Good Deed is meant to house the back story of Role of Seven.
My plan is to update it as needed so that you don't get too many spoilers and instead NGD complements Ro7 in its 'revelations'. This means that NGD won't always be updated chronologically (although the first two chapters have been). To help you with this, the chapters are nicely titled with their time line.
If you have any questions, just let me know.

Role of Seven - When You're Sleeping Pt 2

New update for this week. Chapter 5, "When You're Sleeping Pt. 2", for your reading pleasure. Sorry for the slight delay, I decided to add the funeral scene kinda last minute and then I decided ,to take it out again. So it's still kind of short but the next part should be longer.

Okay, here's the end notes:
I'm gonna be kind of honest and admit that both of these scenes got away from me. I had three scenes that I had planned on writing for this part of the chapter and I ended up cutting one of them because it sucked (it was the dinner with the Daimyo if you were wondering. That meant I couldn't really cut either of these scenes without losing the information in them, which would make part 3 of this chapter really confusing.
I mean, I know what I'm trying to say in them, but reading them back I just don't like them and I don't know if they're actually conveying what they're supposed to but I re-reading them multiple times hasn't really given me any ideas on how to fix them so you get the update instead.

Also, you might have noticed above but I'm changing the 'translation' of shunshin to body flicker within the story because of something I read on the tv tropes wiki. I don't know if the explanation they gave for 'flash step' was accurate, but I can't get it out of my head so I'll stick with body flicker so that I can type it without giggling - I would use shunshin more frequently, but I always spell it wrong.

Lastly a question: Do I avoid using 'said' too frequently?
I was reading this blog about writing a few weeks ago and the guy/gal writing it suggested that all the replacements are actually more distracting. I try to use them to convey more about how something is being said, but is it ineffecitve?

Update? What Update?

Yeah, I changed my mind; though, I might still manage some time tonight. I want the next post to be a bit longer so I'm adding another scene to it. It's almost done already, which is why I might still manage tonight, but if I don't finish it early, it'll go up tomorrow instead.

Role of Seven - When You're Sleeping Pt 1

Yeah, I made up my mind. Mainly because I found an okay stopping point. So this chapter will come in pieces as well. Probably 3, maybe 4, not sure just yet. I was gonna wait until like Wednesday anyways, but I don't actually like sitting on chapters for so long.
Anyways, we are now officially on Chapter 5, 'When You're Sleeping'.

And here are the notes:
My spell checker totally hates me because I always end sentences with prepositions. I know it's technically bad grammar, but it's the way I talk and I can't really break the habit in writing without things seeming awkward. Also according to spell checker, you can't be angry 'at' someone just 'with', screw that.

Is it silly to have all the guest quarters in the administration building?
Probably.
Did it make it a lot easier since they were all in one building?
Yes.

Also, I don't think 'cloak' is really the right word (I tend to imagine cloaks as being sleeveless), but jacket doesn't work for me either when I look at the ones worn by both the Forth Hokage and the Akatsuki. I guess they're more like trench coats, but that's a long phrase and I don't feel like typing it a lot so you get 'cloak' instead.

Characterizations are still off. It's technically for in story reasons, but it actually bothered me a bit because it feels forced. When I was writing the first version I found this funny, and I still do find it kind of funny because at least I recognize how forced it is, but that doesn't actually help raise the quality.

I think that's it for now. Next update will probably be end of this week or early next week.
Spielplatz out!

Next Chapter?

I'm debating when to post the next chapter of Ro7. I've gotten pretty much done, but I don't know if I want to post in a bunch of smaller parts like I have been, or if I should try and finish the whole thing first. If I take the first option, I could technically post a section now. If I take the second option, it might be another week or two.
I'm definitely leaning towards the first option - I'm a bit of an attention whore and I thrive on reviews.
Oh well, if I give an and take the first option, expect an update by Wednesday or Thursday. If not, it'll probably be a week or two.
It mainly depends on how distracted I get over the next few weeks since I'm determined to re-read the manga. Right after posting the last chapter I got lost on the tv tropes wiki and I treated myself to a few spoilers from the recent manga chapters. Since I haven't actually read the manga since last fall (oops) I decided to just start from the beginning (yes I am insane). Expect a few delays while I'm doing this.

Role of Seven - 2000 Years Pt. 4

Okay, new update.

I'll be honest, I wanted to write more of a fight scene, but I just didn't feel like it in the end. I've gone back over it a few times to try and put more in, like after Anko and Sakura left, but I finally just decided to leave it as it is.

Also, if you've read anything else I've written on this site, then you know I am not capable of treating Ibiki with respect. He ends up ridiculous in everything I write because he's just such an easy target.
Naruto's eyes actually shifted last chapter (Tsunade noticed it). Just like Kakashi told Ibiki, it doesn't mean anything for the seal, Naruto's just really pissed of at the attack on top of being on edge because of pretty much the entire day. You can draw any other conclusions you want for the time being.

There was a hint in this chapter about what might become a spoiler later in the story. If you don't know enough about Asuma's history canon-wise to know where that belt thing comes from, then it'll be a spoiler when it gets explained here, but that won't be for a while. (I've also seen his belt called a loincloth, it just doesn't look like one to me so I'll keep calling it a belt)

And yes, Kakashi is another character who is almost never in character when I write him. He seems to be becoming more hot-headed in this fic (as opposed to insane which is how I normally end up writing him). I'll work on him a bit more in the future but I really don't want to break the stride too much; so as long as he isn't horrible, I'll probably just keep going with whatever comes out of my head at the time (if you want an example of something coming out of nowhere - that fight with Ibiki was totally not planned but I ended up liking it).
Feel free to tell me if he's horrible.

Tsuande on the other hand shouldn't normally come across like this. Hopefully it'll be more understandable once I get the next chapter up.

I also decided to give the poor ANBU a name since I was picking on him so much. He also got a back story. Jiro was one of Itachi's teammates, but he's several years older than Itachi. He might never ever show up again (after a brief scene next chapter) but I felt he deserved this much.

The next chapter will be up some time next week and it will actually be the start of a new chapter!

After the Dream vs Role of Seven

This post will contain spoilers if you haven't already read 'After the Dream'.

So lately in reviews I've had a few people note the rather large differences between Role of Seven (Ro7) and its former version After the Dream (AtD). I figured I'd take a small break in my normal ramblings to try to explain things. If you never read AtD then don't worry about this, if you have, enjoy.

Basically, I know Ro7 seems completely different from AtD. When I started the first version of this story, I did so on a whim. I was bored and procrastinating during exam time. I didn't plan it out at all and instead just eagerly wrote up the first few chapters more or less out of desire to write an angsty Naruto. I don't really know why but I'm guessing that I was reading other angsty fanfics at the time and wanted to try my hand at it.
After, oh I don't know, chapter 5 or so, I decided on the next big move - namely Naruto and Sakura leaving Konoha. I was already bored with writing angst and wanted to get them out of there as fast as possible. Once that was done, say by chapter 10 or 11, I was stuck again.

Essentially, I had written out 10 or 11 chapters without placing any foundation for a longer plot.

I paused for a bit and tried to plot out the rest of the story. Having done so, like I said, it was more or less without foundation, just lucky randomness that I had dropped into the early chapters that I decided I could use later on.
I didn't really like that.

Most of what's been changed in early chapters this time, is stuff that I would have wanted in place had I continued AtD because we'll get to a point (probably around chapter 15) where the similarities will become much more obvious and we'll start falling back in with AtD.

That doesn't mean that from chapter 15 (or so) onward I'm just going to be reposting old AtD chapters, that would be silly. I didn't restart this just rewrite the early stuff. As I had went over the old version a lot of things stood out to me as being really annoying, too random, or too cliche.
Some of the changes are purely out of spite towards my own characters (I got sick of a few of them and decided to get rid of them, you'll notice this later).
Does this make sense so far?

Anyways, another way to look at what makes this seem so different is the length so far. Technically we'll still on chapter 4. The Chuunin exam (which I admit was a last minute addition) ended up taking a long time to get up because of computer problems and writers block. Since then, I've pretty much gotten back on track.
If you read AtD, we're actually right on target with what's about to come next.

If there are any questions (especially if I've confused you more) just let me know in comments. I'll either respond to them in the comments themselves, or I'll put up another post later to respond to all of them if there are a lot.

Oh yeah! I know I put up the link to AtD somewhere, but I figured I'd put it here too.
After the Dream
Role of Seven

No Good Deed

So, I'm taking a short break from Role of Seven to work on one of the chapters of the side story No Good Deed. It's included in this brief bit of inspiration because it's the back story for Ro7.
Since I haven't worked on it in forever I was going back through the outline, and posting schedule (chapters are posted out of chronological order to compliment Ro7), and I realized I totally didn't want to give away everything that would happen in the next chapter, but that some of it was really meant to go along with stuff you learned in various parts of '2000 Years' (chapter 4, Ro7).
After thinking for a while, I decided it would be alright to completely confuse readers by splitting Chapter 2 into 2 parts. You'll get one of them some time after the final part of '2000 Years' goes up and the other will come way in the future.
Yay me for confusing you people more!

Role of Seven (again)

Yep I was right there will be an update for Role of Seven this week. Probably thursday or friday. After that, I can't say for sure, but it is going well. I'd like to keep the next chapter in no more than two parts but it might be more if I end up with some good places to stop off. We'll see.
Still no word on the other fics yet but I promise I'll get to them eventually.
In the meantime, I'm knitting!
Yeah it's spring but I figure my sense of time is bad enough already that I can just pretend it's fall instead.
Anyways that had nothing to do with fanfic so I'll stop now. See you later this week.

Role of Seven

I don't want to jinx myself so I'll be brief. I think I've actually hit my stride again with Role of Seven. I have no clue why or how but I've doing really well with it . For the next few weeks or so, I'm going to try and just focus on it instead of trying to bounce between fics. I have no clue if this will mean anything for Role of Seven but it does mean that I probably won't get an update for any other fics done for a while. I'll try to keep you guys up to date with how I'm doing and I can safely say that the next update for Role of Seven will be later this week (like I said, I really think I've hit my stride right now).
That's it for now,
Spiels

Role of Seven Update

Yep I was right, update today.

Part 3 of Chapter 4 this time. Technically, I really should have just waited to post until I could post this and part 2 together, but I was having a lot of trouble getting this part done so I decided to go ahead with it earlier this week. I realize my chapter system is kinda weird since I keep uploading the chapters in part, sorry if that confuses people.

I do have a bit of a question before I get into my general ramblings about stuff. Did the pacing work in this chapter? Like seriously. I was trying to build up anticipation near the end that's why the scenes started getting shorter and then I started flipping between the main two ones a lot, but I'm not sure it worked.
I mean when I thought of it and when I read it, it worked. I'm just not sure it'll read the same way for anyone else, because I think part of the reason it worked is because I know what's supposed to be going on so I can visualize it in my head.
Was it just annoying to try and juggle the two conversations at once? Or did it actually seem to like build up the pace?

And now on to random ramblings.

I'm not really sure why, but I have a tendency to pick on Hanabi. She's one of those side characters you can do soooo much with but I almost always start her out as a brat. How much she actually knows is up to you to decide. I think she's just trying to sound smart and toss around big words that she wasn't supposed to hear in the first place.

Oh, and those bickering women with Sakura's mother?
I have a confession to make: I've been re-reading Anne of Green Gables. The gossip in it is ridiculous and I just couldn't stop myself from throwing in some gossiping women.

And Sakura probably comes off as really odd in those scenes. I hope it seems natural in the sense that she's digesting a lot (if you don't know what she's digesting...I really messed up and I promise it will be made much clearer within the next to updates).

Also, 'performance' is the most annoying word ever. For starters, I can't frikkin' spell it. It's also dumb. Just really, really dumb but I don't know what else to call it because for some reason, dance looks really dumb too, and it's not technically a play. Bleh.

Lastly...Draaaammmaaaa!
Okay not really, but I don't know what else to call this part of the chapter but my attempt at the dramatics. As in, heaveily staged, I don't think this is going to seem even remotely natural drama - does what I'm writing even make sense? I doubt it, I'm kinda loopy right now.
You'll eventually start noticing that when I post in the morning, I sound loopy, this is because when I post in the morning, I've probably been up all night. But hey, it get's you updates, right?

....
No wait, okay I think this will be the last bit. Is it worth it to just keep updating whenever I finish a chapter, or would you rather I try to set some schedule?
I think I like it this way better - especially since schedules haven't worked so well in the past.
Okay I think that's it.

No wait, one last thing, promise.
You guys know what's coming right? :P
Prepare for angst!!

Role of Seven

Speaking of Role of Seven, there will probably be another update some time today or tomorrow. I'd like to go over it a bit more, but I think I have a good size section and good stopping point. It means separating this chapter a bit more than I had planned, but I think it'll be worth it.

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.

'Role of Seven' Question

I'm getting ready to post the next chapter of 'Role of Seven' so I figured I'd put a post up here including the question at the end of it.
When I first started this fic (under the name 'After the Dream') the manga had not yet confirmed that Naruto's father was the Fourth Hokage. Because so many people were using that 'theory' at the time I decided to come up with a different heritage for Naruto in this particular fic. Now though, the manga has confirmed it and I've gotten annoyed by the alternate one that I created for the fic. It hasn't come up yet in 'Role of Seven' so I've been thinking about changing his heritage in the story to the official one, at least in terms of who his father is (I don't think I'll be able to work Kushina into it).
My question is whether any readers really want one or the other. His heritage isn't that important in the fic, and it certainly won't change the overall story regardless of which one I decide to go with. So the options are:
Keep going with the alternate heritage (though I won't explain it yet because that would take the fun out of revealing it in the fan fic)
or
Go with his father being the Fourth Hokage

I will say that no matter what Naruto was supposed to be related to the Fourth Hokage, so like I said before no major changes will come about just because the Fourth is named as his father.
Any opinions?
