Thanks for your comment on the co-op fic. Lol, it was fun having Yuji and Azami's positions be reversed for a change.

Thanks for commenting on my picture! I appreciate it.

My update is up as well.

lol, will do.

I admit; I'm having a lot of fun with 'insane' Yuji for the time being.

Just updated! Sorry it took so long- my friend kept distracting me. As always, I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

I'm talking almost YuYu Hakusho levels of brutality, lol.

Yuji is going to be like the Third Hokage, I think. Quietly powerful without usually displaying it. Certainly each of Team 7 took on their mentor's traits, so it made sense for Yuji, I think.

If need be, I can give Ryofu a reason to come to the chunin matches early.

Well, I've got to go. I've got to get to work. Stupid late Friday night crap shift. Oh well. It was good talking with you.

It'll be interesting to see how that goes. I purposely made everyone older and/or medically enhanced somehow so that there can be more brutality. It'll be Naruto-styled brutality, and necessary to the story.

Yuji's got kind of a dull ache toward Ryofu. He's not, like, super pissed at him anymore, but he definitely resents Ryofu's apparent skill.

Let's see...the team prelims will wrap up next chapter. The individual matches (there aren't many of those) will be right after that, probably taking a chapter and a half.

No, not really. It's usually cold and windy, even with snow sometimes where I am. The break itself is worthwhile, but that's it.

I think they will, too. It's already personal for them, so they've got every reason to gel as a team and do damage. As long as I handle the situation right, it should work out.

Yuji will definitely take that into consideration when he and Ryofu brawl, lol. It's just one more reason for him to hate Ryofu.

Oh, that reminds me- I plan to have some of the Leaf group show up soon to watch the exams. It shouldn't affect your storyline, as Chousen and Ryofu will probably show up on their own, but I thought it best to let you know.

Oh, nice! I'm just waiting spring. I'm tired of the miserable cold here.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Hideki, Sousuke, and Takeshi were fun. I really wanted to get a team that could work together like that, since Naruto, Yuji, and Azami aren't really team fighters.

I'm fine, thank you. How are you?

Blah, submitted too quickly. I really liked Tsunade's solution in your update. I didn't see that coming, but it makes a ton of sense.

That was a cool chapter. Hopefully my update to the co-op fic is just as good. Enjoy!
