《Lone Star Over The Horizon》 Prologue - 1 ¡°It¡¯s starting to rain¡± Right, normally sitting on the edge of the roof at highest skyscraper in town, during heavy storm would be a problem. Right. Normally. Problem would also present itself, if you tried to read manga at the same time¡­ ¡°Whatever.¡± However, in that case in didn¡¯t make much difference. Neither person nor, book seemed to be affected by bad weather in any way. While down below, people ran around in distress seeking shelter, here nearly six hundred meters above ground the only sign of living was rustle of turning pages. And occasional bored sighs. ¡°Heh? Is there really a car rolling on the ground?¡± For one moment rustling of pages stopped, and roof was covered in amused silence. Yes, just for one moment. ¡°Same old, same old.¡± Exasperated female voice sounded once again, after which the figure sitting on the roof released book from its hands. Immediately as if in this moment some mysterious force stopped protecting pitiful bunch of paper, and fury of nature took over. In last spur of defiance colorful book stayed perfectly still hanging in the air; just to fall apart immediately after. Former owner of the book just watched bored several scraps of paper twirling, and dancing with the wind and the rain contemplating. It presents strange charm. As if story came to life. Just to die right after. ¡°You know, it¡¯s not the way to treat a book.¡± Suddenly over the roof sounded another, this time male, voice. What was strange, was the clarity in this voice. Completely disregarding the roar of the storm, as if possessing so much power, that nature held no authority over it. However, there was no response. ¡°I¡¯m also happy to see you.¡± Again, his only answer was wind and rain. Whatever. Newcomer came to the same edge of the roof and sat down in a similar fashion to the person already here, with his feet hanging in the air. Silence covered the two. It¡¯s hard to describe the two. They had humanoid shape. And that¡¯s about it. They had no material form. It was clear that there was something sitting there. But whatever it was varied from the angle looked at it. Once it was mass of heated air, once a bunch of shadows. If you came close as to three meters from them, you¡¯d see clay like white statues. However, if you¡¯d then turn your head left and look at them from corner of your eye, it would seem like stain of darkness. Always different. With the only constant being their human like silhouettes. But they were definitely not human. ¡°What are you doing here? ¡° Female voice demanded to know. It sounded as if computer said that. While it conveyed its gender and even emotions to some extent, this voice lacked¡­ Identity. ¡°Do I need a reason? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m occupying your time.¡± Silence. No response came from the female, and, male didn¡¯t really require it. He didn¡¯t really come here to talk. Just being together with one of their own kind was good for them. Their group didn¡¯t have a name, neither did them. They were clusters of sentient energy; Concept given form. Both living and dead at the same time. Simultaneously most powerful beings of the universe and pitiful shadows, unable to actively interact with physical world. Out of lack of better description they were gods.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. ¡°By the way, why are you hanging all the time in this world? It¡¯s not like you¡¯ll see something not boring. ¡° He expected another silence following, so he was honestly surprised when response came. ¡°The stories. This world is filled with them. While I¡¯m aware, that watching here movies, reading books or whatever, isn¡¯t much different from observing world changing in real life¡­ ¡° She faced last, lone page of her book caught flattened on the wall of the building good kilometer form them. ¡°¡­there¡¯s something exciting in being led by an author by hand. I treat it as a spar with creator of this story trying to predict how the story will end. There¡¯s more mystery in this than in end of the real world. ¡° ¡°I guess everyone, have some ways in fighting the eternity. I personally like finding mortals and using Concept of reincarnation create new stories with them as focus. Of course, I have to limit my foresight for it to be of any fun, but still. ¡° ¡°You¡¯re right. I like these stories. Nobody suddenly thrusted into foreign world with a god-like power. I didn¡¯t know that you were into this kind of stuff.¡± Her response was amused chuckle. ¡°You¡¯re close. However, my hobby is a bit different. I¡¯m taking successful, almost brilliant people in prime of their live and throw them in hostile environment on the bottom of the food chain, with barely any handicap at all. They either claw their way through and survive, or they break and die. Or worse. And since I anchor them in the cycle of the reincarnation, they have to try over and over again.¡± ¡°Eh? But overpowered characters are so much more fun. Maybe I should find somebody and use the Concept of reincarnation myself to show you how it¡¯s done.¡± ¡°Ha-ha, be my guest.¡± However, neither of the moved or took any action. They just sat there watching how nature relented its attack and left human city alone. For them, whose lifespans counted in billions of years, there was no need to hurry. While, life slowly appeared again on the streets below, on the roof two primordial beings observed these tiny ants like people hurrying to work, home, shop, or whatever they wanted to do. At the same time, they saw, the day when they, they children, grandchildren, eventually this whole planet dies. For them it was like bunch of candles fluttering on the wind, ready to go off at any moment, not realizing even what is the purpose of their existence. And yet to some extent they seemed content. Content of their short, mostly uneventful lives. Chasing some small goals just to put another afterwards, if they accomplished it. For those gods up high, who never experienced live in a meaning the people do, it was at the same time bizarre, foreign, pitiful, and also strangely¡­ attractive. They longed for some change and unknown, yet they hesitated to reach for it. However, the thought always lingered somewhere in their minds. What if? Finally, the male decided to ask the question. ¡°Why have you never used Concept of reincarnation of yourself? It¡¯s not like you would be the first of us to do it, yet your personality seems most likely to go after such course of action. But I¡¯m aware that you never tried.¡± ¡°Hmmm. I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s not like I never thought about it. I did. I wanted to jump into one of the stories that I read so much and live it through, or create whole new world from scratch just for the purpose of me living there. But I didn¡¯t. I guess I couldn¡¯t relate. You know. To normal humans. Even if I temporarily assume living form, if I pick up true emotions and physical body, I won¡¯t suddenly become human. I guess that¡¯s what keeping me from trying.¡± ¡°I see. I can understand it.¡± They returned to observing small river of humans filling the streets, like bloodline of this massive metropolis with millions of inhabitants. They will probably sit on this this spot for years to come. It¡¯s not it would be the first such case. Or rather, they would if in this moment male god didn¡¯t ask a question. ¡°What if we did it together?¡± ¡°Eh? ¡°What if we used the Concept of reincarnation together? I mean start our life together. It will be hard to relate to other humans, but at least we will have each other.¡± ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°Yeah, completely. I can even go with your style of doing things. You know overpowered and all. For our first life maybe, it would be even better this way.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°Come on, what¡¯s keeping you? Even if we leave it alone, our energy won¡¯t disperse for millennia so it¡¯s not like our disappearance will have any consequences on this universe. And even if it will, then what? It¡¯s not the only one. So?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°SO!? Which world are we going to?¡± Female god sat there at a loss of words. This idea was¡­ ¡­ sudden¡­ ¡­bizarre¡­ ¡­impulsive¡­ ¡­but above everything else, BRILLIANT. Fuck this. What can go wrong? Feeling excited for the first time in last hundred or so thousand years she thought of a manga she was reading earlier that day. ¡°Did you hear the story of Naruto?¡± Prologue 2 They were standing in the darkness. Well relative darkness, since they don¡¯t perceive light in the manner people do. Their sense of sight perceives all sorts of energy, filtering it until it resembles human like sensation. And their surrounding was one giant well of energy. Slowly shrinking, compressing into one point. ¡°Naruto and his twin sister Natsumi? Do we really have to play main character? It¡¯s not like it would be a big difference for us to start as some no name and then beat Kaguya or whoever anyway.¡± Asked male voice. Frankly he didn¡¯t have much to say. He was very clear that all his protests are in vain. His female partner won¡¯t care about any of this, and just do what she wants. He just complains as a matter of a principle. ¡°It¡¯s because I want to start in this time period, and I don¡¯t think I could stand this guy if I met him in a real life. Not that I don¡¯t like him. I do. But I could never understand this fashion that main character has to be dense.¡± ¡°So, you like him, but you can stand him? What do you mean?¡± ¡°I think he as a persona is quite likable, but all this stupor and so on are just a pain in the ass. Beside this way I can fix this sick childhood of his¡­ of ours.¡± She finished with slightly amused voice. It was quite a sight to see her so lively. It¡¯s clear how excited she is about the whole prospect. ¡°Actually, whole team seven works on my nerves. My best opinion is about Naruto. The other three, well¡­ we will see.¡± ¡°Fine, fine. Are you ready?¡± Actions speaks louder than words. As if to testify this, the giant mass of raw energy, stilled for a moment, then went at astronomical speed towards the horizon. Breaking, shaping, and then repairing a reality. Over and over again. Chaos and destruction. Both being beginning and the end. They used this Concept as a spring step for yet another Concept. Reincarnation. When giant and turbulent explosion finally settled there was a lone star over the horizon. Symbol of a new path. Sign of reality which was broken, to never be the same ever again. ¡°So, are we starting? You wanted to be overpowered in this new life. You should hurry up, before reality completely stabilizes itself.¡± This was a joke. They understood Concept of Time well enough that it no longer affected them. They had all the time in the world for they decision. Nevertheless, they both felt strange rush and excitement, at the prospect. So, female started. ¡°I want huge amount of chakra. Two times bigger than ten tails.¡± Around them in the darkness part of the residual energy from explosion flared, in the pretty light blue color, then rushed toward the distant star. ¡°Fine, me too.¡± Following male voice, yet another bundle of energy flared and rushed forward. The only difference was that this time it was pale green. ¡°Copycat. Whatever. I want¡­ I don¡¯t know, there¡¯s too many things.¡±Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°Haha. Then I¡¯ll start. I don¡¯t want us to have any limit. If we simply use all that power, then we¡¯ll more probably explode taking the planet with us.¡± ¡°Good one.¡± She said observing two flares of energy racing towards the star, as if trying to see which one was faster. ¡°Then I want extremely fast regeneration.¡± ¡°Cheater. I want extremely fast regeneration. And no possibility for any scars.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just saying the same as me! But it was a good idea with this no scars thing. Me too. Since we¡¯re there I want near bottomless physical stamina.¡± ¡°You¡¯re surprised I¡¯m copying you?! Then stop hoarding the best thi¡­¡± He stopped, when he saw light blue orb forming, and then shooting forward. ¡°Are you serious? That¡¯s the dumbest idea ever.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s brilliant!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts!¡± Shrieked female voice in a high-pitched voice. ¡°You can say whatever you want but I won¡¯t change my decision. Danzo gets chronic diarrhea and he¡¯ll spend six hours every day in the toilet! Buahahahahahaha¡­¡± Male god decided to ignore his insane partner, and instead he concentrated on his few next wishes concerning the world they¡¯re going to. He just greatly increased population, and in general increased the scale of everything when he caught sight of what the female is doing. ¡°Aren¡¯t you exaggerating a bit?¡± She was just posing to the giant mirror. It was a bit comical to see featureless silhouette pretending to be a model. But¡­ The problem was the figure in the mirror. ¡°What? It¡¯s my first time having physical body. I can as well go all out.¡± She said lightly tapping surface of the mirror transforming it into orb of light blue energy. He sighed exasperated. It¡¯s no use arguing with her. ¡°Really, first time? You never had physical body?¡± ¡°Did you? I thought this is your first reincarnation as well.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. But I used Concept of possession several times. Even if not this there are few other Concepts you can use to acquire body.¡± ¡°No, I never tried to comprehend these ones. There are weird. I didn¡¯t even fully comprehend Concept of reincarnation. But that¡¯s not important right now.¡± She thought for a moment about next course of action, then continued. ¡°I want affinity for all five elemental nature affinities, for Ying-Yang release¡­ As for Kekkei Genkai¡­¡± She started listing, and straight forward inventing powers on the spot, while their environment looked like meteor shower was passing over. ¡°I know that you¡¯d like to be overpowered and everything, but do you really have to make your Rinne Sharingan have unlimited use of Kotoamatsukami? Whatever.¡± He said when he didn¡¯t receive any response. Then he continued with his own list of powers, ignoring accusatory gaze of his partner when an even higher shower of meteor appeared. ¡°Oh, and I want to be completely immune to genjutsu, mind control, sealing, or any other actions that limits or inhibits my freedom of will.¡± ¡°Yeaaah me too.¡± Said female voice still carrying an offended note after earlier display of shamelessness. ¡°What about our childhood? Frankly I don¡¯t want to be persecuted and abused like canon Naruto.¡± ¡°Hmmm. How about we make Kurama never reach the village. Instead he rampaged in a forest several kilometers away. And we make high-ups keep their mouth shut about our status for real this time. I think in this case the most problematic is Danzo, but after your stunt earlier he will have bigger problems than trying to control two Jinchurikis.¡± She giggled, and then agreed with his suggestions, following which two orbs flared and rushed towards the star. ¡°Is there something else? You¡¯re reading this type of stories all the time, so you¡¯re the expert here.¡± ¡°Hmmm. We picked so much abilities that we don¡¯t have time to train them to acceptable level. In one novel I found something interesting. I want to learn everything ten times faster than the biggest prodigies in all of universe in whole history before and after me. EXCLUDING those who are using Concept of reincarnation.¡± She eyed her amused partner. ¡°You see? I¡¯m nice.¡± ¡°Yeah, right¡­ Copy that. So, by the way who takes Ying, who takes Yang half of Kurama?¡± ¡°You can take Yang. Physical energy suits you better, you brute.¡± She continued listing some wishes, after which she stopped, and looked at her partner. ¡°Do we need something else?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± ¡°So, we¡¯re going?¡± ¡°Yep.¡± ¡°Are you ready? ¡°Nope.¡± ¡°Me neither. So? 1?¡± ¡°2¡­¡± ¡°¡±3!¡±¡± They both shouted, then they transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards the lone star over the horizon. Last thing they noticed was a mischievous giggle following them, but they put it off assuming it¡¯s just their imagination. Chapter 1 ¡°Twins, huh? Congratulations, I always knew that you wanted big family.¡± ¡°Thank you Master Jiraiya. And you¡¯re right. That¡¯s a dream come true.¡± Said Minato Namikaze smiling to his teacher. Every word said was true. Both he and his wife Kushina always dreamed of a big family. Nothing surprising really. Kushina came from Uzumaki Clan, which was always considered almost fanatical in regard to family matters. Minato on the other hand was always raised with Will of Fire as a most fundamental principle and guidance. As such he always imagined himself as the one who¡¯ll raise the new generation of Shinobi who, in turn will protect his home. ¡°Now, now. Stop with your smiles or you¡¯ll make want to start a family.¡± Laughed Jiraiya out loud. ¡°By the way have you picked names for the two?¡± ¡°Hmmm, yes. There¡¯s also the favor I want to ask. We wish for the boy to be named Naruto. Based on the protagonist of your book.¡± Asked Minato with expectant tone and hopeful look. ¡°Naruto? I don¡¯t know¡­ That¡¯s not a good idea to base such an important decision on that crappy book. It didn¡¯t even sell that way. And I came with the idea while eating ramen¡­¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s a great name master Jiraiya.¡± When Jiraiya turned toward coming voice, he saw beautiful red head woman with gentle expression smiling at him. ¡°Kushina is right. And I liked the book a lot. The protagonist is gutsy and brave. And he never gives up no matter what. Actually, he reminds me of you master.¡± Minato smiled at his own thought. ¡°And I¡¯d like my son to be like you.¡± Jiraiya blushed embarrassed at the compliment. His protests gradually turned lesser and lesser. To be honest he was sold on the idea the moment he heard about it. But he can¡¯t just straight forward accept it. He is world-wide regarded as charming and humble man. There¡¯s a reputation to keep here. ¡°But wouldn¡¯t that make me his godfather? I¡¯m sure you can find someone better that me.¡± Both Minato and Kushina knew what his protests meant but they were used to his antics. So, to pet his ego they didn¡¯t call him up on his obvious act. ¡°No that¡¯s fine. You¡¯re one of the best ninjas we know, and you helped us a lot. If you don¡¯t mind, we¡¯d like you to start helping our children as well.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I agree¡­¡± While Jiraiya was in his own world, married couple exchanged amused glances between each other and then nodded in appreciation of their victory. ¡°Oh, right. What about the girl? Did you come up with a name for her already?¡± ¡°Yes, you could say that. Long time ago I promised my mother that she can pick a name.¡± Kushina blushed a little, embarrassed for some reason. ¡°After around three hours, and three thousand names she settled on Natsumi for the girl¡­¡± Both men didn¡¯t have a courage to ask what she¡¯s embarrassed about. Uzumaki were way too serious about their family. It¡¯s hard to imagine what Arsha Uzumaki has done when she heard she¡¯s gonna be grandma. Instead Jiraiya did what he considered smart thing to do and started complimenting mother-to-be. ¡°I¡¯m sure Natsumi will be just like her mother and grandmother. Beautiful, charming, full of grace¡­¡± *** Natsumi¡¯s POV ¡°What the fuck is this?¡± Everything is weird. I have absolutely no sense of self at this moment. It was as if I wasn¡¯t conscious, just occasional flares of information and sensation came through, messing even further with my ability to figure out what¡¯s going on. However, there was sensation that ruled over everything else¡­ I¡¯m so comfortable! This so nice¡­ I could melt¡­ But what the hell is going on? ~Hey!~ Eh? What¡¯s this. There¡¯s some strange voice calling. ~Natsumi!~ Who the hell is Natsumi? It¡¯s not my name. I don¡¯t have name for as long as I remember. I never needed one. And who dares to interrupt my comfortable moment?! ~Are you stupid or what?~ What?!? WHO DARES? ~It¡¯s me Naruto!~ Wait, wait what? This brat from manga? What is he doing calling to me? Wait a second¡­ Naruto? Natsumi? There¡¯s a bell ringing. I am supposed to be reborn as Natsumi to have some fun with the whole world as an ultimate kunoichi who¡­ And Naruto is supposed to be my¡­ ~Brother?~ I asked hesitantly the voice in my head. ~Finally. I got through to you. What a relief¡­ Listen¡­~ ~Who the hell are you calling stupid?! Just wait until I catch you! You, little¡­¡±This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ~Alright, alright. Calm down. I¡¯m sorry. Are you okay?¡± ~Hmmm, hard to say. There are some sensations that I cannot understand. Is this how it feels to have a real body? It feels weird, but nice at the same time¡­ I never imagined that this is how human feel¡­~ ~EEE. Yeaaah. No. In a way. Are you sure you¡¯re okay? Transfer to this world didn¡¯t damage your intelligence?¡± ~What?~ I snapped at him. Who does he think he is? It¡¯s a fact that I can¡¯t focus very good right now, but that¡¯s not a reason to¡­ Wow, it feels so nice¡­ ~Natsumi! Are you still with me?~ ~Yeah, yeah. What¡¯s going on? It¡¯s impossible that¡¯s how human feels. Or is there some problem with my body?~ ~Yes, and no.~ I momentarily got irritated when I heard his patronizing tone. But it¡¯s fine. I can endure. ~We weren¡¯t born yet. We¡¯re still inside our mother. It¡¯s the fifth month of pregnancy I believe.~ Endure. Endure. Endure. En¡­ Wait. What? Why? Oh, he¡¯s still talking. ~We wouldn¡¯t like for our personalities and train of thoughts to be too much affected by our bodies and genetics, so we must bind with these bodies, and allow our souls to shape it before it¡¯s fully functional. And your nerve system is still a mess. That¡¯s why you feel the way you do.~ That makes sense. I suppose. But if so, why his thoughts are so clear, and he can make such deductions in this state? Oh, right. I get it. I let go of the scraps of consciousness that this body was possessing, and I allowed my Self to wander inside my soul, and from there to the mindscape that I was sharing with Naruto. What a relief. The comfortable fog that cowered my entire being dispersed and I was finally regained my full clarity. Our mindscape was something else. Three square kilometers big island floating above the see of clouds. It was round and separated in roughly two halves. The half where I was standing was a field of flowers which names, I didn¡¯t know. Hell, it¡¯s possible that these flowers don¡¯t exist outside of my imagination. In this field of silver, white, and lavender was small lake. However, water inside looked like a liquid rainbow. Marvelous. Behind me on the far horizon hanged silver moon, painting sky above my half of the island in charming ethereal like silvery-white color. The other half was in complete contrast to mine own. Tall majestic mountains with snow cowered peaks. Every piece of land where snow didn¡¯t touch was cowered with lush forest full of vitality. Between the mountains peaked red-golden sun coloring the other half of the island in fiery colors of accompanying sunset. As if two opposite worlds fighting for dominance. I liked it. It the exact center stood pale pink crystal tower. Twenty stories high with red energy beam shooting from the top into the sky parting it forever. All in all, I guess that our minds are pretty fucked up. Big surprise. I went toward the tower where I expected to find Naruto. And he was. Next to the tower stood several garden chairs. Completely out of place by the way. Naruto of course was lazing around on one of them. Both of us were still featureless silhouettes as our souls haven¡¯t fully merged with our bodies yet. However, his body started showing masculine signs, while my body of course got some curves. Not much, child-like, and completely asexual. But definitely female curves. ¡°Took you long enough.¡± Why is he trying to pick on me? I told him before that I don¡¯t fully comprehend Concept of reincarnation. I¡¯m fully justified if I was confused for a moment. Bastard. ¡°Couldn¡¯t you warn me before? That we will end up like this? I once sent one guy down the reincarnation line and he was already born when he took over. I thought we will be the same.¡± ¡°So, you messed up this poor guy¡¯s live. His soul didn¡¯t have enough time to completely fuse up with new body, and in return he probably changed with changed personality and morality. And our souls are even more powerful than these normal transmigrates. So obviously it¡¯s a bit more complicated to fully fuse with the body without changed mentality.¡± Again, with that patronizing tone. I think I¡¯ll have to beat him out of it. Whatever. I still have time to do it. I have more important things to do right now. I looked again at my lazy ¡®brother¡¯. ¡°I¡¯m going on a trip. I want to see this world with my own two eyes.¡± I ignored his waving hand, and slowly concentrated back on my soul. I¡¯m immaterial. I¡¯m whisper following the wind. Unbound by any rule, one with the world, and above the world. I reject reality. I leave the body of a fetus, and then of my mother. I¡¯m free! I¡¯m¡­ Still here? Da fuck? ¡°Naruto?¡± ¡°Hmmm?¡± ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Check yourself. I¡¯m unable to leave¡­¡± I once again repeated the process and felt how Naruto is trying the same. Without any effect. No. NO. NO! How is this possible?! ARE WE¡­? ¡°We¡¯re bound to this reality.¡± Came surprised voice of Naruto. I know this! But how is this possible. The Concept that we created didn¡¯t have power to bind us. We were very careful about that. We would never make such an amateur mistake. Then how? Why? One memory presented itself. When we went down the path of reincarnation, I sensed a presence. And heard someone giggling. Now that I think about that voice sounded familiar. That familiar, annoying, infuriating voice¡­ That¡­ ¡°THAT BITCH!¡± Island started to shake. I don¡¯t care it can fall down for all I care. I can¡¯t believe her! How fucked up person you¡¯d have to be to pull of something like this?! ¡°Huh. I guess it sounds like something she would do.¡± Obviously, he came to the same conclusion. It¡¯s only natural. Who else would do something like that? But why is he so calm about it? ¡°But why she did the same to me? It¡¯s you she hates, not me.¡± What? This little¡­ ¡°But the bigger problem are these few new concepts which appeared out of nowhere.¡± Huh? What new concepts? I concentrated again on my soul, and there they were. A bunch of pale blue orbs, containing energy which will shape my body according to my earliest wishes. Everything is fine. What is he¡­? Wait. Why there are purple orbs as well!? These are not mine! I¡¯m going in. Slowly, carefully. Good, good. NO! I cannot see them. I know that they are there, but I cannot control or see them. They are already part of a local reality, and I¡¯m no longer above it. NO! Naruto! He has deeper comprehension of Concept of reincarnation than me. He should be able to tell what does this change. ¡°Hey. My sweet little brother!¡± I called him in an overly sweet voice. ¡°Spill it! What are these concepts?¡± ¡°First of all, I will be born first. So, in this relationship you¡¯re the little sibling.¡± Whatever. Doesn¡¯t matter. I want to know what my billion years old rival did to me. ¡°As for the concepts I don¡¯t know. Neither can I see them.¡± Fuck. I¡¯m screwed. I know. I¡¯ll go back to my mother¡¯s womb. Maybe this will help with something. At least it¡¯s comfortable. *** Naruto POV Whew. She finally left. What a relief. It¡¯s good that she wasn¡¯t pushing it. I guess billion years of experience helps with gaining patience and self-control. Or maybe not. If she was calm enough maybe she¡¯d realized that I¡¯m lying. No way I¡¯m gonna tell her. She¡¯d kill me. And if she knew about changes in her behavior, she¡¯d try to resist them. If she knew what she¡¯s fighting against it¡¯s guaranteed that these concepts won¡¯t affect her. And it would be a tragedy. Actually, I guess it¡¯s kinda genius move. I¡¯d never think about something like this. And apparently there are not any new Concepts affecting me. My behavior pattern won¡¯t be changed. So that¡¯s good. It will be a lot of fun.
