Okay I am going to have a response page for all readers who have questions and such. It's going to be like a blog all on one page. I'm doing this on purpose so that I won't have any excuses to have less than 5,000 words a chapter. Feel free to ask and review and I shall respond on this page.

5-04-10: chapter 1

Dear readers:

Most of the last chapter was flashbacks and some of this chapter will be flashbacks plus some other things. I would have added the flash back that describes what happens leading up to the deal between Hiruzen and Kohana but the thing is that I'm setting standards for myself. I'm making a 5,000 or more a chapter deal and I would feel two pressured if I ended up adding something that would make a single chapter 10,000 words.

Allconspirer: thank you! I'm glad you review and told me why you like something. I feel my best work is with describing a scene and actions that take place. Dialogue isn't exactly my best but I try.

Umm… what's the error? I want this to be my best and biggest work so I want to know if there's an error.

As for Naruto's return…. Heh. You're gonna have to wait.

notgonnasay09: you serious? I love that fanfic! You think I could compare? HOLY SHIT! DID YOU HEAR THAT GUYS? Thank you.

Tenshi Namikaze: well there are going to be some significant changes to his personality due to the fact that he has a mother figure as well as a ninja teacher, he isn't abused since day 1, and he sees a lot of the world. My version of Naruto is going to have a hell of a lot less emotional baggage

Chewie Cookies: Congratulations! You guess right! Ten points for you! I've always loved Chinese dragons and since the manga series seems to have demons, Bijuu, shinigami, talking frogs dogs and cats… why the hell not dragons?

But, I have to ask… how'd you know its was a dragon? What gave it away?

Also my penname is based of an episode of doctor who called "the planet of the dead".

Or you could be referring to someone else who had the same idea except his exact pen name is "he will knock 4 time".

Schnookums: I have never read a fanfic where Minato never had family either. That's what makes it so unique to me. Plus, I don't think it's a stretch.

I originally based Kohana as a female Itachi and a sister to Minato; only less evil and not psychotic. She was going to have black hair and black eyes with a stoic personality to go with the whole witch abilities. (Ill go into her abilities later) she was going to be a famous prodigy and slightly mysterious but I decided I didn't want that. I decided instead ill make her a good person with love and happiness and (blah-blah-blah-five minutes later-blah) a sort of unknown to the public.

wisdom-jewel: *evil smirk* you don't even know what the deal is. "The mouth is the root of all problems".

5-05-10: chapter 2

Hello again! I've got more news, responses to people's comments and a new chapter. (Naturally)

Dragon Man 180: It's a Chinese dragon! Chinese I tell you! I've always loved Chinese dragons better and considering this is the Japan/china setting what person in their right mind would use a European dragon?

Also with the name I chose: again Chinese Japan setting with Chinese Japan names. They do this in the canon with the Inuzuka and the toad summons.

Akamaru meaning red-bull (no not the type that gives you wings). 'Aka' for red 'maru' for bull.

Kiba means fang referring to a part of a dog dogs.

Tsume (Kiba's mother) means claws also referring to a part of a dog.

Gamabunta, Gamakichi, Gamatatsu (Gamakichi's looser brother), Gama-Chan (Naruto's frog shaped wallet) etc… Gama means 'toad' in Japanese.

So the choice to call the dragon summons 'Ka-Tsume' (fire-claw) isn't that much of a stretch or really all that complicated. Tough on the tounge huh? You mean you cant pronounce c-a-t-soo-meh ?

Itchaitchacritic:NO WAY IN HELL would I have a wimpy ugly komodo dragon when I can have a beautiful, badass, mythical creature of legend as a summons for Kohana. I just won't do it. It's like going to see Mickey Mouse and getting chucky cheese instead.

Okay, there seems to be confusion as to Kohana's summons so let me give you guys a picture: go to Google images, type in 'Chinese dragon' and pick which dragon there you think fits my description best.

Or how about these dragons only decked out in red and gold: .org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Chinese_

.com/dragons/Images/Chinese%

As for my grammar mistakes in the last chapter I've painstakingly read ad re-read it for mistakes and have hopefully fixed them. I actually didn't realize I had mistakes so thank you allconspirer.

Enjoy the chapter!

5-13-10: chapter 3

Hello readers! I have another update! Go updates!

I would have had one sooner but I was visiting my 76 year old grandmother in hornbook California for mother's day. Marginally boring but it certainly made her happy. Don't get me wrong, I like my grandmother nice enough and I like making the lady happy but the town she lives in is in the $#!er. The population is 80-100 people. There are only two main streets and the post office doubles as the sheriff's office while the town's only diner is also a hair care and tire repair center. All it needs is some guy with a banjo playing the boondocks theme song and the image is complete. The town-no, village- is in the middle of no where and the most advanced equipment they have is a cash register or an i-mac computer; but enough about that, its time to talk about reviews.

Response time:

Allicat: glad you agree. I'm on a one-woman mission to bring the classics back. Care to join me on bringing scrunchies and the phrase 'eed-gads' back into style? No? Oh well.

Hee-Ho Master: I appreciate the review and your opinions in the review but I must introduce to you this new thing they invented called 'grammar'. It's this wonderful invention where you use periods and commas and I would love it if you reviewed using it. P.s Who's Rodney Carrington?

Schnookums: if I told you I'd have to kill you. *evil grin*

Wyrtha: I think your comment is premature. I haven't even showed Naruto in the story yet and you're making assumptions. You are right however and while id rather not I will share some information about Naruto's character that I wasn't planning on sharing yet; ill share it to dispel your fears.

*spoilers don't read if you want a surprise*

Naruto at the most has learned some taijutsu and is learning to sense (no abilities to use yet) chakra. He is also being taught basic sword and katana forms and much to his dismay history, codes and math along with reading and writing.

* spoilers don't read if you want a surprise *

The reason I agree is because I'm not going to have this ridiculous story where 6 year olds are taking down experienced 25 year old Jounin's. At the most Naruto and the others his age are training to be ninjas but still are learning about the world and deciding what their purpose is in it.

notgonnasay09: I understand your concern but we haven't toughly explored Kohana or seen her in a battle. Remember that she isn't some Chunin that can defeat anbu but an extraordinarily talented special Jounin that could become an anbu if she wanted. Her character I at first based of off Itachi and while some things have changed she is still just as talented and strong in her own ways.

I do have some weaknesses planned for her because I do not believe in the one-man-army crap. I strongly believe for every apparently invincible Hercules or Hancock(love that movie with will smith) has a weakness.

About the cat anbu… this is embarrassing… who is Yugao Uzuki? *major sweat drop* I don't know any characters named Yugao Uzuki. I'm sorry guys. I don't watch the anime anymore. It's all been manga reading for me for about a year and a half now. I read and that's it. I may have watched the movies but that's the extent of Naruto anime I've seen. If she appeared in the anime but not the manga this would explain why I have never heard of her.

Folks, I apologize for this MASSIVE error. I researched things like Sarutobi Hiruzen, the first second and forth Hokage's, seals, clans, summons, Japanese words and names, story arcs, ninja gear names and even the Bijuu so I could write this story accurately and make it good. Looks like I forgot to research anbu I'm not familiar with. I know Sai, Kakashi, Tenzo (Yamato) and few other anbu members. For the sake of the story we will just pretend the cat mask got handed down to Uzuki after the nameless Hyuuga retires or something.

As for Kakashi his sensei and surrogate father figure just died and the village is in ruins. He is in mourning and helping the village, also he doesn't yet know who Naruto's father is yet so he would have no reason to chase after Naruto.

*response time over.*

That was a rather productive and long response time and I hope to do it again. Okay I went back to chapter 2 and fixed errors and added some stuff. Remember to review and inform me if I made a mistake in my chapters. I love reviews so please review. I am to reviews what an alcoholic is to beer. I can't get enough reviews and I love hearing what you guys think.

With that said keep reading and may the drama commence.

5-31-10: Chapter 4

So I have a new chapter up and running! Soon. I am sorry it took so long but the fact of the matter is: I got grounded. I am 16 (17 on July 22) and am still living at my moms house. Apparently I got too far behind in ONLINE school for her tastes so she grounded me. I don't get it. I wasn't that far behind. Its online school anyways. Its easy to catch up. But fear not, I'm not grounded anymore! Yay! Ok peoples, response time:

KCWolfman: thank you for the recommendation, and your right I DO like it but as a rule from now on, no more advertising fanfics you like in the comments section because I will consider it spam and remove it accordingly. Mail your recommendations to me from now on. Ok?

Chewie Cookies: oh please. Hold it together man. Hinata is coming into the story soon. You're a big boy/girl aren't you?

Dragon Man 180: Damn. You've caught onto a plot bunny I'm going to use. But unlike what you assume, Naruto's five. He doesn't understand carnal pleasures, or what perverseness is. Also the fact is that Naruto has only mastered basic ninja knowledge and some fighting. Against any one with ninja training he is weak. Besides, "Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman".

notgonnasay09: really? *phew* don't scare me like that. As a writer I want to be consistent and do good work. Plot errors as large as whom is who, is nothing to laugh at. When you try to place such high standards on yourself you can't afford mistakes like that.

Hee-Ho Master: No sweat.

I'm now going to make a second review rule: your review will have to be on topic from now on. It has to mention something about the story. Nothing specific. It can be as vague as 'good story' or as specific as 'I liked…"

You guys can say anything you want in the review forums. I don't care what you say. You can even comment on what crazy thing Britney is doing these days but you have to make at least 1(one) comment on the story or something you dis/liked about it.

*response time over*

Ok I'm going to write down a few rules for reviewing:

It has to be on topic somewhere in the post. I don't care what you write and I encourage critics.

You can say anything. EXCEPT curse words. No cursing. It doesn't matter that I curse in my story, no curse words in the reviews.

Grammar and spelling is important. I don't need perfect dictation. You can misspell. I just need to be able to understand what your writing but I don't want to see "Hee surd goo du tis." None of that. I want English, not retardish.

No advertising. I know you guys get excited and want to share the good news that you have found a super cool story but don't put in my comments page. It makes me feel like chopped liver. Mail it to me. If you're so excited I will advertise it on this blog page and the masses will know of your story.

No arguments between readers in the reviews box. This isn't youtube. You can't have an argument using my review box. Hash it out in an email. You can, however, argue with me all you want about the story.

Naturally, no stealing my story.

If I think of anymore rules I will put them up here.

Guys remember- it helps me to know what you think about my story. What you liked or disliked. What I could have done or could have done better. We authors love hearing from the audience. You know those signs you see at the zoo about how you can't feed the authors? Ignore 'em.

P.s I don't own Naruto, though Hinata will sometime in the distant future. ^_^
