Hey guys! sladerules here!

and I have returned to the living! Sorry I left for so long without any updates.

I had a blast there! the mountains were such a change of pace compared to the flat sandbox that is Florida.

but enough about that. I have two pressing issues that I have to address.

1. My Hiatus stories.

I have seen people reviewing and asking me to continue and update them. and I have heard you.

I have been so focused on my current stories, that I never actually had the time to tell you guys that I plan on continuing Alpha Jinchuuriki, and I will rewrite Gate of the Nine tails: NARUTO!

I'm not sure if I'll do it with my other stories in hiatus, but all I know is that these two stories will be back.

2. Fairy Tail Dragonslayer side project.

For any anyone who has their own fics, FTDS has started a side project that could gain popularity to your stories.

just PM the guy and he'll tell you what you need to know.

Anywho, I have decided that Naruto will not have a pairing. Hinata will still not be here, but Naruto will not be paired with anyone.

Now then, let's get back to the story!

Konoha Gates:

"Dōzo" the man said to Pyrrah, holding a paper with weird writing on it.

the man stood at 6' 2" with his black hair tied into a spiky ponytail that went well with his Goatee. he had he wore a black Unitard under a beige cloak. the cloak had a circular symbol with a line cut through the center.

She was sent by Naruto to him for reasons she did not know.

The man saw her confusion and began to pat his neck, inferring her to place the paper on her neck.

"Shīru wa anata ni watashitachi no gengo o rikai sa seru" he said. although she didn't understand what he said, she understood what he wanted her to do.

So she grabbed the Wierd paper, and gave it a long look

she had no idea what this was going to do to her. for all she knew, this could drug her or paralyze, her. it could be a poison that could kill her. all she knew is that these people have her under their power and jurisdiction. any form of denial or protest might lead to death or something far worse, becoming a breedingstock for the rest of her life. She pushed those thoughts out of her mind and hoped Naruto's kind Nature was sincere.

With a shaky breath, she placed it on her neck. she then felt her throat getting dry and she got a little light-headed. She looked to the man next to her as he began speaking,

"Take steady breaths and relax" the man said, surprising her that they can understand eachother. "the seal allows you to understand the Language of anyone and everyone you come across."

She was speechless! such a tool could make trading and negotiations far easier! this civilization has a way to prevent miscommunication and make negotiation for trade and welfare between lands run far smoother!

Shikamaru took her reaction in with amusement, but also paid deep attention to the reasoning behind it. it was obvious that she thought of the benefits of such an tool. she thought of how it could help in a problem in her own home. this meant that her home had issues that the seal could solve. although his face showed amusement on the outside, he frowned within, due to understanding what happened.

pushing those thoughts back, he pulled a few ryo with a paper with directions on it out of his pocket and gave it to Pyrrha.

"head to this address and chose some new clothing with the money I gave you. Mirai will be there to help you."

this caught Pyrrha by surprise. "what's wrong with my clothing?"

"nothing really" he replied, "but for the time being, It's best to blend in with the crowd until We can certify your origins and claim you as a citizen to one of the Nations."

"Nations?" she asked in curiosity

"The elemental Nations has dozens of different countries that are aligned to the Allied Shinobi Accords, which Tie all the Nations together in terms of trade, welfare, and Warfare. Although you did appear in Konoha, The Gokage will decide whether you can live where you pleae or if you will be watched in a certain country."

Pyrrha didn't know what to think of that. She didn't have the freedom to go where she desired. And although she can understand the reasoning behind it, she was afraid that it may prevent her from finding a way home. shaking her worry away, she took the money and thanked Shikamaru as she walked into the market.

As she wondered around, looking for the address, she couldn't help but take in the sights around her. The land had modern technology, but still had a feudal, regal look. The people there came in all shapes and sizes too. She was so intrigued with the uniqueness of the village. She never saw something quite like it.

She continued to take in the sights until she reached the clothing store, seeing Mirai there. She was caught in surprise with Mirai's forlorn expression.

what caused her to be in such a blue state?

Pyrrah continued to walk towards the young Shinobi until Mirai noticed her, Quickly turning around and changing her depressed demeanor, she smiled at the newcomer she was assign to.

To be honest, she was actually kinda nervous. She was always busy with life as a shinobi and caring for her mother that she didn't really have much friends her age. Not that she's complaining, becoming a Jonin at 16 is a huge honor! something only a few dozen have ever done in the leaf, but being so young, meant that she didn't get to hang out with those her own age, due to being in different ranked missions. Imagine her luck that her mission is literally making the newcomer comfortable in the village.

what better way then to befriend her? She's going to enjoy her time with... what was her name again?

Pinto?

Pyro?

Pinocchio?

...

ahh, she'll find out later.

And there you have it!

and I also have something to say. After watching the recent episodes of Boruto, I have decided to change a few things.

First off, In this story, I have decided Hinata will be dead, not gone. However, she will be gone in "A Shinobi's Will".

Also, a little rant: Get off of Boruto's back!

I understand why people are hating on Boruto and dislike how He hates Naruto, He doesn't hate Naruto,

He hates the title of Hokage!

He sees the Hokage title as the reason his dad is never around, but when Naruto returns home or appears to see his son, He gets very emotional!

He's far from my favorite Character, but stop pissing him off every time he complains about Naruto!

He isn't Naruto!

He doesn't understand the meaning to be alone and he's afraid of losing his father!

end of rant

ahh, glad I got that off my chest!

anywho, Shinobi's will is the next update! along with a few Naruto Intros here and there.

That's all for now!

Ja Ne!
