Chapter LXXV: Not The End.
The Moment People Come To Know Love, They Run The Risk Of Carrying Hate.
Mustafar.
Vader, still alive, is trying to claw his way up the shore, with severe third-degree burns over nearly all of the remainder of his body, as Sidious is flying over in his ship.
"Your Majesty, this way," One of the clones said as they landed and walked to Vader, who turned to lie on his back.
"There he is. He's still alive. Get a medical capsule immediately." Sidious said to the two clones that came with him, having them nod.
"Yes, sir."
"Right away."
Konoha.
In the new Jedi Temple, Yoda was meditating before hearing a voice.
"Excuse me, Master Yoda." Opening his eyes, Yoda turned to Naruto and walked up with BD.
"(Trills.)"
"Obi-Wan has made contact."
They walked to the Konoha Hospital, where Padmé was being wheeled into a room. "Padmé," Naruto said, getting her attention. "Someone's been waiting for you."
He pointed ahead, and she raised her head to see Anakin in the room, sitting on a bed using his sole hand to hold an IV stand with an oxygen mask. "A-Ani…?"
"He got here when the attacks happened," Naruto said before letting her go inside and seeing Obi-Wan.
"Who is that?"
Naruto blinked at him. "That's Anakin."
"It can't be, I just fought Anakin."
"Don't know who the hell you fought, but it sure wasn't Anakin. He and Mace warned us about the attack as Palpatine and some other guy with a red saber caught them." Naruto replied.
"He looked like his twin."
Naruto shrugged at that. "Maybe it was, or Palatine used that thing you did to be a bounty hunter and had him make the Jedi look bad to justify slaughtering us."
Coruscant, Grand Republic Medical Facility.
Sidious walked behind Vader, who was on a hover pad being taken into the medical facility. There, the bots started treating him and giving him replacement limbs before putting him in life support armor with a helmet.
It's a black armored outfit reminiscent of samurai armor with a black skull-like mask and a small computer device on his chest.
He was then raised to a standing position as he started breathing raspy. "Lord Vader. Can you hear me?" Sidious asked.
"Yes, Master," Vader replied in a deeper voice. "Where is Padmé? Is she safe? Is she all right?"
"It seems, in revenge, Obi-Wan killed her."
Suddenly, the droids were crushed as Vader broke free, then had the room start to shake from the Force.
Konoha, Jedi Temple, Council Chambers.
"OK, OK, let's talk about what to do."
Naruto said to the Council that made it over, minus those still in the medical rooms, along with Tsunade, Shizune, Shikaku, Inoichi, and Anko on the other side of the room. "Now, obviously, we can't all go back… Permanently for the time being."
"Yes, Uzumaki is right." Plo Koon replied from his seat as Shaak Ti looked over.
"We should still go back and check for any survivors."
"As well as any new users," Naruto said, getting their attention. "I mean, they'll either kill them or just train them to be Sith… We should be on the lookout for any new Force users as well."
"Destroyed, the seals are?" Yoda asks as Naruto nods.
"Yeah, I kept several hidden for a thing like this, so we should just use those whenever we need to go over."
"What happened over there?" Tsunade asked as Naruto sighed.
"Sorry for not telling you much about what was happening over there… Couldn't take the chance of a stowaway on a ship… From what I've gathered from Anakin before he passed out from pain, Sidious, under the guise of Palpatine, orchestrated the blockade and invasion of his homeworld. His goal was to generate sympathy for the people of Naboo to become the next Supreme Chancellor. "
"Although he didn't take into account that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan were helping her flee to the Republic capital of Coruscant, seeking Senator Palpatine's counsel. Sidious convinced her to vote out the previous chancellor and put him in power. And he tried to get Anakin on his side as he was thought to be a child whom the Jedi believed to be the Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force."
"The whole damn war was to weaken both sides and take it over as emperor." Naruto finished as Obi-Wan looked over.
"What do we do now?"
Naruto sighs before speaking. "Now? I think we should hide, we're outmatched as Riyo told me that Sidious got the majority of worlds to be under him, plus, counting the clones that they'll probably continue to make until they run out of Jango's DNA, we'll stand no chance. Plus, I couldn't ask the other villages to help as they have nothing to do with the war before."
"So we just sit here and wait?" Mace asked, sitting down, arm in a sling. "I mean, Sidious had someone who looked like Anakin attack us, and who knows if he has more lookalikes for any, if not all of us."
"As I said, we're outgunned here… Best is to recover and build up our forces." Naruto sighed out to him.
"I think we should go back," Mace said from his spot. "We can still stop them before losing any more of our forces-"
"No." Shaak Ti stopped him. "Naruto is right. Right now, we need to train and build up our forces. If Palp-Sidious really did get the Senate under him, he has more firepower than we could take, even if we didn't just take casualties… We're still waiting on the other council members to come over as well as some Masters… Hopefully, they aren't-"
"I wouldn't talk like that," Naruto said to her. "Yes, some of our strongest haven't come over, but there could still be areas where the clones haven't turned or could not have gotten the code to turn them yet."
Later, Yoda walked up to Obi-Wan in the hall. "Master Kenobi, wait a moment… Training I have for you."
"Training?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"An old friend has learned the path to immortality. One who has returned from the netherworld of the Force. Sometimes, go over to your old master."
"Qui-Gon?" Obi-Wan said, looking down.
"How to commune with him I will teach you," Yoda said, holding his cane with two hands.
A Few Days Later.
In a house by the edge of the village, Naruto was sleeping with Hinata on his right and Anko on his left before waking as he heard tapping. Looking to the left, he saw Kakashi at the window. "Lady Hokage has summoned you."
Later, without his armor and BD on his back, they got to the Hokage Tower and saw a very large toad with a smaller one on his head.
The smaller one is an orange toad with purple markings around its eyes, mouth, and stomach, with a blue jacket.
Gamakichi.
The larger one is colored a dull, rusty red, but around his eyes and on his lips and chest are brighter red markings. Over his left eye, he has a scar. He's wearing a large blue Happi vest that has the kanji for ebi on the back, and a massive dosu blade at his hip. He also has a large kiseru pipe in his mouth, which he often smokes.
Gamabunta.
"Chief Toad and Gamakichi?" Naruto asked, looking up as BD popped up and ran over to scan.
"Yo, Naruto!" Gamakichi greeted him.
"What're you guys doing here so early? Did something happen?" Naruto asked while BD ran back up on his back.
"Actually-"
"Gamakichi!" Gamabunta interrupted him. "It's not your place to say anything. Leave this to the Boss and Tsunade."
"What's going on?" Naruto asked Kakashi, who continued walking in the building.
"Just hurry up."
They walked in to see Tsunade with Shizune, Sakura, and Fukasaku on a chair on another toad's back with two more frogs.
"He is Jiraiya-boy's student?" Fukasaku asked the Hokage.
"Yes, this is Naruto Uzumaki, the 'Child of Prophecy' you mentioned."
"An old frog? What the hell?"
"Hey! Watch your mouth, Naruto! This is Lord Fukasaku, one of the Two Great Sages of Mount Myōboku. He came all the way here to speak with you." Tsunade said as Naruto deadpanned.
"I call out Yoda, arguably the strongest Jedi out there, all the time, call Jiraiya Pervy Sage, and call you an old ha-!" He ducked under the scroll that was thrown at him and cracked the wall before Fukasaku cleared his throat.
"Well, to be more accurate, I am a Great Sage Toad. But never mind that. You are, without a doubt, Jiraiya-boy's student."
"Jiraiya-boy? You think that perverted sage is still a kid?" Naruto asked as Tsunade narrowed her eyes.
"I said to watch your mouth!"
"This is the one who taught Sage Jutsu to Lord Jiraiya. He is Lord Jiraiya's master." Shizune said to Naruto after her Master.
"Pervy Sage, eh? What a fitting nickname for Jiraiya-boy." Fukasaku chuckled.
"So what do you want with me?" Naruto asked the sage.
"I'm not sure where to begin. But let's see, I suppose the most important thing is that Jiraiya-boy has died in battle."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Naruto asked the toad.
"I know this is sudden. I don't blame you if you don't believe me. For quite some time, there were rumors that the leader of the Akatsuki was in the Hidden Rain Village. Jiraiya-boy went in person to verify the truth of these rumors." Fukasaku explained to him.
"The leader of the Akatsuki was in the Hidden Rain Village?" Sakura asks as Naruto glances over.
"As I recall, that village has been difficult to infiltrate recently. I heard that the village was a village close to the outside world."
"Yes, However, Lord Jiraiya was skilled in infiltration and espionage tactics." Kakashi nodded at Naruto as Fukasaku nodded and explained the battle. "Jiraiya-boy came upon the leader of the Akatsuki 'Pain.' Pain was Jiraiya-boy's former student."
"Student? What do you mean?" Sakura asked, turning to the toad.
"Jiraiya-boy called him "Nagato."
"That goes way back." Tsunade sighed, lacing her fingers. "During the chaos of the Third Great Ninja War, Jiraiya looked after some orphans in the Hidden Rain Village, which had become a battlefield. Who would have imagined those kids?"
"However, to corner a ninja like Lord Jiraiya, how did this Pain?" Kakashi asked before Fukasaku looked up.
"He possessed the Rinnegan."
"What did you say?!" Kakashi asks, eye widening.
"Rinnegan?" Sakura blinked at that.
"The Rinnegan is an Ocular Jutsu that was said to be possessed by the father of all ninjas, the Sage of the Six Paths," Shizune explained to her. "I thought it was just a legend."
"The legendary Ocular Jutsu, The Rinnegan. Its power was beyond imagination. Not only that…" Fukasaku said and explained the battle further.
"There were six of them who possessed the Rinnegan?! How can that even be possible?" Kakashi asks.
"Perhaps, there's a trick to it. Most likely, only Jiraiya-boy, who was there, discovered their secret. Even after he had his throat crushed by Pain, Jiraiya-boy left a message before collapsing." Fukasaku took his cloak off and turned to show a code carved into his back. "This is that message!"
9, 31, 8
106, 7
207, 15
"It's a code, I'm sure he did this to prevent Pain from noticing." Fukasaku turned around and put his cloak on. "I've told you everything about Jiraiya-boy. I wonder what Jiraiya wanted to say."
"If we can decode this, we'll understand, won't we?" Tsunade asks, looking down.
"I'll be right back." Naruto sighed and turned to walk out.
Kakashi stopped Sakura from following. "Let him be, he also lost a lot of friends recently, too."
"Tsunade-girl, Tsunade-girl!" Fukasaku yelled as Tsunade was still looking down, not noticing Naruto leaving.
"Are you alright, Master?" Sakura turned to Tsunade, at that, having the Hokage nod.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry."
"You just received sad news. I don't blame you for feeling distraught. However, you have the important duty of protecting the village. This is where you must stay strong. Anyway, the clues left by Jiraiya-boy, there is something besides the hidden message on my back. A Hidden Rain Ninja captured by Jiraiya-boy is inside his belly." Fukasaku said, turning to the toad beside him before calling another red one.
"And, one more thing, inside this fellow is one of Pain's bodies that Jiraiya managed to kill. One of the six."
"Pain's body?" Tsunade asked in shock.
Down the hall, Naruto was sitting on a bench, remembering his travels with Jiraiya before being sent to the other universe.
Later, The Autopsy Room.
"This is Pain."
Fukasaku said as they dropped the body on a table. "The ripple pattern. Is it the legendary Rinnegan?" Shizune asks as the toad nods.
"That's correct. If we study it well, we may find clues on how to defeat him."
"A ninja's corpse is a treasure trove of information. We will gather skilled Medical Ninjas and begin an autopsy immediately." Tsunade said to Shizune, who nodded.
"Yes, ma'am. I will take care of it."
Later, they took a picture of Fukasaku's back before he looked at Tsunade. "Hmm, that is a good photo. I have given you all that was entrusted to me."
"Yes, indeed." Tsunade nodded as she took the picture back.
"I will return home now. Let me know what you learn. With Jiraiya-boy's students here, you will be able to contact Mount Myōboku."
"Thank you very much. I promise that we will find a way to defeat Pain!"
Later, she called Shikamaru over to take the photo and decipher it. "What? Right now?"
"Yes." She nodded. "Take that, and go immediately."
"The Cipher Corps folks don't work this late."
"Summon them and tell them it's on my orders. I'm putting you in charge of this case." She said, standing up from her desk.
"I know it's a very important encryption, but can't you ask someone else who's not on a mission right now?" He asks before she walks past him and to the door. "Wait, where are you going? I came here on a different matter."
"Shikamaru! Lady Tsunade has been busy since morning, and…" Sakura stops him.
"Well, the same goes for me."
"Shikamaru, please."
Outside, Tsunade walked down the hall, and her head dropped. Remembering her times with Jiraiya, as well as the last time before he left. She fell towards the wall. Only for an arm to wrap around her shoulder. Looking up through teary eyes, she saw Naruto before she hugged him, her body shaking as she cried. Naruto stayed silent as he hugged her before she spoke up between sobs. "The fool!"
Morning Cryptanalysis Corps.
Shikamaru walked into the room to see a man with fair skin and round glasses.
"Thank you for your efforts. How's it going?"
"Oh, I checked very carefully... But this isn't a Hidden Leaf code. It doesn't correspond to any of our algorithms. But because Lord Jiraiya wrote this in his dying moments, I don't think it could be anything too complex. It's a string of numbers, so it has to be a shared-key encryption."
"Can you decode it?"
"Ahem."
Shikamaru looked back to see a woman. She has light blonde hair tied in a loose ponytail with occasional strands sticking out. Her eyes are obscured by her swirl-tinted glasses. She has on a white lab coat over her red dress and puts on her forehead protector backwards, as a sash around her waist.
Shiho.
"Err, Frankly, it's impossible unless we know the key."
"Key?" Shikamaru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Namely, if you don't know the rules that define the code, you can't break it. Unless we know something about Lord Jiraiya that could be the key, it's impossible."
"So, how do we figure out what the key is?"
"I wouldn't know, but perhaps someone close to Lord Jiraiya would recognize the key."
"Although, given the circumstances of his death, the encryption could have been hastily created to prevent the enemy from discerning his message. So we can't say for certain. Consider who he may have intended that message for, and ask that person. And perhaps you'll find some clues." The man said as Shikamaru looked up in thought.
"Find anything out?"
They looked to see Naruto walking in with BD running in.
Outside, Tsunade was talking with members of the interrogation team.
The man in front has a large, imposing figure, wearing his forehead protector as a bandana. He's wearing a darker version of the standard uniform of the Intelligence Division, along with a black trench coat and gloves.
Ibiki Morino.
"This frog supposedly contains a captured Hidden Rain Ninja."
"Yes. We received prior notice from Lord Jiraiya." Ibiki said to her before looking at the toad. "Now, grow."
The toad grew as Tsunade walked away. "Be as rough as you need to be. Get everything you can from him!"
"I intend to."
Autopsy Room 3, Shizune.
"This is one of the three crucial sources of data Lord Jiraiya left us."
Shizune said to the woman and man who were helping her examine the body that Jiraiya had gotten to them. "We must learn everything we can from it."
"Yes, Ma'am!/Yes, Ma'am!"
"All right. Let's begin." She said, walking to the body.
Cryptanalysis Corps.
"You haven't said a word."
Shikamaru said to Naruto, who was standing at the table looking at the picture. "You see something, right?"
"There is one thing that's been bothering me since I first saw this," Naruto said as he put his hands on the table. "Well, there are all these numbers. So what's with this one katakana letter?"
"Huh?"
"Katakana?"
"Where do you see that?" Shikamaru asks as Naruto points to the 9 at the start of the code that was crooked.
"Right here."
"What are you talking about? Isn't that the number '9'?" Shikamaru looks up at the blonde.
"That's what I thought at first, but this is not the number '9.' It's the katakana letter 'ta.' (タ)."
"Well, I guess you could look at it that way. But I think that's a big stretch."
"I wonder, Uzumaki, what made you think this nine was the katakana letter 'ta'?" Shiho asks while adjusting her glasses.
"Well, Jiraiya was writing books all the time when we were looking for Tsunade. He was an author, after all. He always made me read his handwritten drafts when we had downtime and asked what I thought about them. And whenever there was the letter "ta," it was hard to read because it would look like the number nine."
"I see… A penmanship quirk!"
"That was his habit, huh?" Shikamaru asked as he got a pencil and wrote the katakana letter for Ta and did the one for Jiraiya's writing that looked like a nine. "So what you're saying is, when writing the katakana 'ta," Lord Jiraiya had a habit of shortening his first stroke. So the first and third strokes get connected. And since he rounds his second stroke, it looks like the number nine."
"Let's see…"
Shiho walked to get a book from the shelf and got a record of Jiraiya's handwriting, and saw that he did indeed write the letter like a nine. "This is a sample of Lord Jiraiya's writing. It's the same! Lord Jiraiya knew that Naruto would remember his habit of writing the katakana "ta" like the number nine. Frankly, this was the common link between Lord Jiraiya and Naruto."
"Why didn't you mention such an important thing sooner?!
"Well, I didn't figure it out right away! I only knew that because he'd asked me to read his drafts a couple of times! What's the big deal about knowing that it's the letter "ta"?"
"That's it! It's when you were reading Lord Jiraiya's manuscript that you found out about his writing habit. Then the code refers to that book you were reading!" Shikamaru exclaimed as Shiho looked over at him.
"That's it, Shikamaru! Right! Frankly, Lord Jiraiya's book must contain a hint. Those numbers must represent character numbers, line numbers, or page numbers. I'm certain they hold the key to the code."
"Naruto, which book is it?"
"Umm Hmm, Make-Out. What was it?" Naruto thought. "I can't remember."
"Well then, how many of Lord Jiraiya's books have been published?" Shikamaru asks the blonde.
"I'm not sure... Four? Five? But he could have made more since I was gone."
"Then let's just check all of them!" Shikamaru exclaimed before hearing a voice.
"It's probably this one."
They looked to see Kakashi at the open window holding a green book with a silhouette of a kneeling man with thought bubbles around him that had the heat with the no symbol over them.
MAKE-OUT TACTICS
"Make-Out Tactics."
"Ta"?!/Ta?!" Shikamaru and Naruto spoke together before the Jōnin spoke.
"It's been on my mind, so I decided to stop by when I overheard your voices. I think I caught most of it. This is the book you're looking for. This "ta" is the first character in the code. Of all of Lord Jiraiya's books, this is the only title that begins with 'ta'."
"When a character is used in a code, it could signify word placement or line number, but the established protocol is to check the page number first. So the numbers separated by commas are 31, 8, 106, 7, 207, and 15. Six sets." Shiho explained to them. Meaning there are six pages worth of information. Let's start with page 31. Flip to that page, please." She said to Kakashi, who nodded and turned pages in the book.
"Page 31, Okay, here it is. Where do we look next?
"In situations like this, we look at the first character on the page. Please read the sentence out loud, starting from the top." She said as Kakashi's sole eye widened.
"Wha-?" He started to sweat as his vision blurred as he looked at the words on the page. "No, I mean..."
"This is really important, Kakashi." Naruto sighed before Kakashi started to read, as his face turned red.
"I-I-I really love you…"
Later, Shiho wrote everything down as Kakashi and Shikamaru looked extremely uncomfortable.
"There! We now have all six pages. If I read the first characters of the code in order, 'The-Real-One's-Not-Among-Them', that's what it says."
"What does that mean?" Naruto asks her.
"I don't know."
"We ought to relay this to Lord Fukasaku. He fought with Pain, so he may know something." Kakashi said, and Shikamaru nodded.
"Then let's go right away to Lady Hokage to ask this Lord Fukasaku to come."
"May I come along?" Shiho asks, having Shikamaru nod.
"Yeah, please do, Shiho."
Later, at the Hokage's office, Fukasaku was looking at the message.
"The-Real-One's-Not-Among-Them. I don't know. This alone is too vague."
"What did you say about the fight?" Naruto asks the toad. "That there were six?"
"Yes." Fukasaku nodded as Shikamaru looked back at Naruto.
"Are you saying…?"
"Yeah, six bodies and the message, 'The real one's not there', could only mean one thing. That you fought against clones that changed their appearances, or puppets."
"But they didn't look wooden," Fukasaku said to the blonde, who shrugged.
"Genjutsu? Or a very advanced version for infiltration?"
"How are the autopsy and interrogation coming along?" Kakashi asked as Sakura sighed.
"It looks like they will take more time."
"Like how long? We can't be wasting time right now!" Naruto exclaimed as Sakura turned to him.
"Interrogation aside, an autopsy requires minute cell and tissue analyses! These things take time!"
"It'll be a week at the earliest." The busty Hokage said from her chair.
"So what should we do, Lady Hokage?" Shikamaru asks her, having Tsunade sigh.
"Shizune is heading up the autopsy. It should be quicker than usual. Still, we have no choice but to wait."
"I can't just sit around doing nothing!"
"But Naruto-boy, in any case, at this point, you couldn't beat Pain," Fukasaku said to Naruto, who raised an eyebrow.
"What?!"
"Even Jiraiya-boy couldn't beat this opponent. Are you saying you're confident you can? Well, if you were to fight him now, you'd die a senseless death."
"I may not have been here for almost three years training in Jutsu…" Naruto trailed off before raising his hand and had Fukasaku and the desk raise in the air and pull a pen to him. "But I spent over five years training in stuff no one here can do."
"Pain can." The toad said to him. "I saw him be able to pull Jiraiya-boy to him and push him back."
"Then that blonde on the Akatsuki was right then," Naruto said as Sakura looked at her teammate.
"What?"
"Rescuing Gaara, Deidara told me that one of them had the power to pull things to them when I pulled Gaara over from them."
"Being asked to come was quite opportune. I was planning on coming to get you, Naruto-boy. How about it, Naruto-boy? Want to train in Sage Jutsu under my guidance?" Fukasaku asks Naruto who blinked.
"Sage Jutsu training?"
"I see Naruto learning Sage Jutsu. That is a great plan." Kakashi said as Naruto turned to him.
"Is Sage Jutsu really that awesome?"
"Yes. Lord Jiraiya was the only one capable of using it in this village." The Jōnin replied to him.
"Pain defeated Jiraiya, who had summoned Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima. What that means is that at this point, no one in the Leaf Village can defeat Pain." Tsunade said to them before the toad spoke up.
"I am just as mortified as I, too, want to avenge the death of my student Jiraiya-boy. I believe that the only one who can do that is you, Naruto-boy."
"Me?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"You want to avenge Jiraiya-boy, don't you?"
"Of course I do!" Naruto nods
Then come with me. I'll train you in Sage Jutsu at Mount Myōboku. Everything that I drove into Jiraiya-boy, I will do the same with you. Is that fine with you, Tsunade?" Fukasaku asked Tsunade, who nodded.
"Of course... Naruto, go."
"Sage Jutsu training is more rigorous than you can ever imagine. Are you up to it?"
"I went through some tough training before. I'll do it!" Naruto nodded at him.
'An entrusted student, The Child of Prophecy.' Fukasaku thinks before speaking. "Nicely said! Then, let us go."
Later, Naruto stood with a backpack and BD on his back at the gates with Fukasaku Tsunade, Shikamaru, and Sakura. "Naruto-boy, say your goodbyes."
"I'm off. I'll be back ASAP."
"I will leave the messenger frog behind. If there's anything, give it to him." Fukasaku said to Tsunade, who nodded.
"Yes, sir."
"Good luck, Naruto!" Sakura said as Naruto nodded and looked at the toad.
"By the way, which way is Mount Myōboku?"
"It takes a month to get there on foot. It's also known as Maze Mountain. If you don't know the secret route, you won't be able to get there."
"It's hard just to get there, eh?" Naruto sighs as Fukasaku looks up.
"Naruto-boy... You already signed a binding contract with us, toads. There's no need to worry." Fukasaku explained, holding a scroll before he looked at Tsunade. "Well then, I'll be borrowing this boy."
"Please take care of him."
"But what do you mean, there's no need to worry?" Naruto asks before he suddenly disappears in a cloud of smoke.
"He disappeared?" Sakura blinks at that.
"It's a Reverse Summoning," Tsunade explains as Fukasaku disappears as well. "Alright! Let's concentrate on figuring out the data Jiraiya left us."
"Roger."
Tsunade turned to walk back before turning to look where Naruto was standing. 'The fact that the Great Lord Elder prophesied Jiraiya writing those books. It may have been intended to enable him to eventually leave the encrypted message. Meaning the prophecy may all be real. In which case, Naruto Uzumaki truly is the Child of Prophecy.'
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading, and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Chaos-PSD. Contributor: KuronoDono12.
The new "Choose The Next Story" poll is up! You can pick 5... Doing it now as I'm about halfway through Kim Possible, and that'll be the story that'll be done first, as I'll be doing the ten-minute episodes as one chapter, and that'll go by faster.
Again, not sure if Huntsman will be updated as I kinda pushed myself through the last chapter to let those who only read that know that the poll has ended. I'll work on it for a day or 2, and if I don't get much written, I'll work on the KP story and update that, then work on the RWBY one for another day or 2, then just upload it out of order when I get to at least 2K, not counting the lemon in he narutoverse women chapters.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.🐺
