One thing with Naruto Nara, is he is quite good at training medical shinobi.  Apparently, without even trying he has trained a group of them.  He was trying to teach kids self-defense.

Apparently, he passed fhe first two stage of the Chunin Exam without even being a Shinobi.  He didn't even know it was chunin exam.  It's not like him to start something he didn't finish.  So he's going to have to go down to the Leaf Village, and finish it.

So he doesn't know where the Leaf Village's money went.  But he is going to find out.  Because if people have been taking his money, he wants to know about it.

Personally, I'm sure that Naruto Nara could do alot of things with Sasuke and his crew.  Though as much as fun that would be, I don't think he should give people any reason to think of him as a criminal.   As much as the one who wields Zabuzza's blade might like it, that will come when he has an army to lead.

What I do think would be good would be to go see Putin.  I really think that, Sasuke and friends might want to have a talk with Putin about making a permant peace treaty with Japan.  It's really time that both parties got over there petty squabbles, and used their energy in more productive ways.

Also that way, Naruto Nara could train for his fight with Lady Snotie.  He needs to learn some new tricks before he faces her.  As they undoubtedly have done research into how he fights.  So it would be good to train in a different style. 

Though, I am starting to see Gonzu's point of view.  Getting so caught up in love probably does lead to fights.  Perhaps getting attached to things is not a good idea. 

One thing is that if the Leaf Village wishes to put Naruto Nara, then it should be a trial by combat against Lady Snotiae.  No one else should be involved.  No one else should have to die.  If Lady Snotae wishes to kill Naruto Nara she should do it herself, and not hide behind her subordinates.

If Naruto Nara survives then he should be considered innocent of all charges.  If he loses then justice will be done.  Afterwords he should be free to do as he wishes.

Naruto Nara has bore no hatred to the Leaf Village.  They sent him to the Land of Rice Patties after a man tried to kill him.  He fell in love with Lady Snotae's daughter.  He would have taken a bullet for her but she wanted to kill him.  If it had been her in the hospital, he would never have left her behind. 

They also sent a Village Elder who posed as his scout master.  His scoutmaster trained people who tried to kill him in scouts.  This Elder killed people and tries to frame Naruto Nara for it.

Though, Naruto Nara should sign a pack with some Chief animal.  If not the Chief Lion, then perhaps the Chief Eagle.  After all he has made alot of Eagle drawings.  That way if Lady Snotae pulls out Katsuya he will have a defence.

If Sasuke wishes to destroy the Leaf Village, it may be best to if he takes Naruto Nara to the Leaf Village to do this.  If the Lady Snotae is injured during the fight or killed she will not be able to defend the Leaf Village.  Therefore, it will serve his purposes.

If Naruto Nara goes down to the Leaf Village.  They will do the same thing they did to Itach Uchiha.  They will use him, and sacrifice him.

 

Perhaps, Kakashi would be a better teacher for Chika Nara then Sakura.  After all his father was the White Fang of the Leaf.  Also he was able to help Sakura, if only a little by teaching her the release.  Also then Sakura could teach Hinata some medical ninjutsu and Shino some medical ninjutsu.  Thought it's not my place to make those judgements.

With Jiraya gone, the Leaf Village is without one to teach sagejutsu.  Perhaps the Leader of the Sparrow could teach Sage Jutsu to the Village.  However, I do not think the Sparrow would like their Lord going on on missions.  He could be assigned quarters there.  Part of his salary could go to the Suzume family to improve things.

As such he could teach at the academy, working with children.  Their may be some who not cut out to be Shinobi, yet still may be useful in other capacities.  For example, the disabled child from the star village, the heir of the forbidden jutus, or the shining star of her clan.  Without his training what will happen to them?  These three are the perfect people to work with.  Since others would not want to work with them.  It would be better for Naruto Nara to work with kids with disabilities, orphans, or other problems.  As if there are less competition that way.

Also perhaps the children he trained from the local Dojo he taught at could be put on loan to the Leaf Village.  Atleast as long as the Atsuki are a threat.  That way, he could continue his teaching them.  If not for his Sagejutsu it is unlikely that they would have survived the Chunin Exam at all.   

Perhaps Naruto Nara could take over Yakumo Kurama training.  She may not be able to be a Shinobi, however she may be able to do other things.  For example, his sage jutsu maybe able to help her overcome her illness.

He could also teach Naruto.  With Jiraya gone, who will teach him?  Also what is to stop the nine tail fox from running lose?  Naruto isn't yet strong enough to control him it.  Though perhaps Naruto should make a pact with it.  But he does have the Frog Sage.

Also there is one in the Star Village that could use Naruto Nara's training.  The one who walks with a cane.  Naruto Nara perhaps could use his sage jutsu to help him also.  Maybe he could come and train at the Leaf Village.  This might improve relations with between Villages.  So then perhaps Naruto Nara should focus on other students for the time being.

Also the Heir of the Forbid Jutsu could use his sage jutsu.  She may well be able to rebuild his clan if she knew it.  Yakuma Kurama, the cripple from the Star Village, and the Heir of the Forbidden jutsu of her clan could form a squad.  This squad could be under the direction of Naruto Nara.  These three could perform a combination barrior jutsu.  However, this would require that they be in synch with each other's energy.  They could be under the barrier corps.  Naruto's Nara's training as a scout may come in handy here.  The four of them could form a pentagon barrior.  However, it would have to be pretty strong to stop a tailed beast.

Naruto Nara could also work with Choji, Oni, and Hinata when he isn't working with his squad.  They would benifit from his sage jutsu.  Chika himself mentioned he was worried about Choji, Oni, and Naruto.  Personally, I think Lady Hinata's is as a woman ought to be.  She is kind, gentle, but also able to fight when necessary.

One thing is I think the Aburume clan ought to use their insects to fertilize crops.  That way they would be in demand of their services.  Indeed, they could do missions while they perform this function giving a cover for their shinobi activities.  It may allow them to operate in areas others may not.  Personally, I would like to make a pact with bees myself.

With Lady Tsunata, she must remember it is harder to live for someone then to die for them.  She must not throw her life away, haphazardly.  Of course, Naruto Nara could bring back her former lover, Nuwaiki, and Jiriaya as her daughters.  But what would he get in return?  He has brought back others, so why couldn't he bring others back?

Personally, I think Sakura should take over for Asuma sensi.  She could mentor Oni in medical ninjustu.  She could give Choji food pills, to build up his strength, and to do colon cleansings.  She could get Chika Nara to build up his chakra more, then he would be able to use his shadow jutsu's more.  Of course she would need to be a Jounin for that but after helping to take care of Saori, well isn't that Jounin level?  This squad could be a medical squad since it would have two medical shinobi.  For example, perhaps chika nara, and choji could hold off enemies while Sakura, and Oni heal or evacute the wounded.

Another thing is I think Kakashi should fill in for Korina Sensi while she on rest leave.  One thing is Captain Yamato, is better at controlling Naruto anyway.  Naruto has surpassed him, Sakura has Lady Tsunata.  Sai?  Well he might be better off spending some time in the the Shinobi Temple.  He could work with Hinata on using her Bakingan into her fighting style, since he possesses the Shining gun which is similiar.  For example, he could teach her some moves so if she was helping to seal that Turtle tailed beast she could win on her own.  He could work with Kiva on tracking.  Also he could work with Shino on using insects on infiltration.  For example, Shino could get a bunch of queen insects.  If he had a bunch of queens, like six he would have alot more insects to control.  Korina Sensi will need some time to recover after her pregancy.  Also she will have to care for her child too.  This squad could be an infiltration squad.  For example, all the shinobi in this squad have better senses then regular shinobi.  So therefore they would be have an advantage in sneaking into places.

One thing I think Ebisu should do with Konaharu is to teach him shoji.  Konaharu needs to learn not to rush in like Naruto.  If it wasn't for the NineTailed fox where would Naruto be?  If Konaharu wants to be a Hokage he must learn to think.  Personally, I think the algrebra guy would make a good long range shinobi.  He could use math to calculate distances for objects.  I think the "Fiestiest Kunochi" should become a medical Shinobi like Oni and Sakura.  Perhaps Oni could teach her medical ninjutsu.  In this way they could be a rapid response squad.  

With Team Guy, I think Rock Lee should study to be a Ronin Shugendo.  He needs more then just his Taijutsu.  For example, the time he was fighting Kimi Maru, or that guy who had that Demon energy.  I think Negi should learn Tai chi, as it would help to improve his gentle fist style.  As for TienTien, I think she needs to learn some elemental techniques she needs more than long distance techniques.  What if one get's in close range?  She needs something she could use.  Perhaps a Rokugan, or a Lighting Fist.  That way she could make them backoff, or hit and run.  Team Guy could be the "Spirit Squad."  If Rock Lee was a priest, he would be able to do magic.  Then Negi could use his bakygan to check out the chakra.  Then Tien Tien could cover them.  This would be handy let's say if they needed to break a barrier.

 One thing the Leaf Village needs is a Five man specifically to stop a tailed beast.  What they could do a combination barrier jutsu.  If they formed a five pointed star then each one would send there chakra to another person.  Also they could send chakra that would aid another shinobi in the formation.  Therefore the jenkurichi would then be trapped in the barrier where it could be sealed.  Now one shinobi might not be powerful enough to perform this Combo Barrior jutsu.  But five?  That's alot of chakra, if it's done right, and the squad works together, then it might be possible.  Then another team could seal the Tailed Beast.  As the Atsaksuki plan on using the Tailed beasts they need another way to stop tailed beasts other than Naruto.  For example, what if the Atsaksuki sent two tailed beasts at the Leaf Village at once?  Or what if the Naruto is indispossed?  They need another way to stop the Tailed beasts.

Personally, I think Naruto should join Hebi.  Sasuke was promised a Tailed beast by the Leader of the Atsuki.  Also Naruto wants to help Sasuke.  This would let him get closer to Lord Pain.  He could then study him, find his weaknesses.  Also he could report back to the Leaf Village.  In exchange for Naruto rebuilding the Uchiha clan, Sasuke could agree not to attack the Leaf Village.  The Land of Fire could give the Uchiha Clan lands along the border with the Land of Rice Paddies.  That way they would be a buffer between the Land of Rice Paddies and Land of Fire.  The Atsuki are more of a threat to Lord Orchimaru anyway.  Perhaps both would donate lands both didn't want.  This way, the Uchiha clan would stay separate from he Leaf Village and they wouldn't be able to be massacred again.  Also the Leaf Village could put the Itachi on the MIA stone.  Also, they could banish the village Elders since they had knowledge of it.  They ought to have made a formal treaty with the Atsuki instead of using Itachi.  So perhaps it's there turn to sacrifice for the village.  However, Gonzu on the other hand ought to be put on trial for treason after giving the Anbu Black Ops's private information to Lord Orchimaru.  He undermined the whole village's security.  One thing too is Sasuke mustn't always be thinking about revenge.  This obsession with REVENGE, made him kill his own brother.  If he continues this he will only lead him and his followers to destruction.  He MUST start thinking about rebuilding his clan.  He has followers now.  He MUST start thinking about their welfare instead of running around.  He should let the banishment of the Village Elders be enough.  As for Sai?  That guy Gonzu has been messing with his mind.  He could be sent to the Shinobi Temple for a period of contemplation, and cleansing.  He could do missions from there from Lady Tsunata.  His share though would go to help rebuild the monistary.  Also he could train there with the monks.    

Naruto Nara could help rebuild the Land of Fire's Shinobi Temple.  If his style is Shaolin Kung Fu he may be better off training at temple.  Also he could use his resources to do it.  But he should not do it the way it was, he should rebuild it stronger.

Another thing is perhaps there are other monks, who would want to build a temple.  Perhaps the Land of Fire monks could work together with them.  Perhaps sharing the same school.  

Also the Sparrow clan could train there.  They don't have a school, so this could be their clan school.  What the minor clans have Bushi, courtiers, shugado, but they do not have any monks.  In the Phoenix and Dragon clans, monks gather intelligence for the clan.

Another thing is that Leaf Village Shinobi could go on retreats at the Temple, in this way the Leaf Village Shinobi could learn Naruto Nara's Sage jutsu.  While they are they're they could train with the monks.  Also shinobi academy students could go on Training missions to the temple.  With the Temple monks acting as bandits.  This would free up, Shinobi from training academy students.

Perhaps Sakura could be Lady Tsunade's, and Naruto Nara's child's Godmother.  Sakura may someday surpass Lady Tsunade.  Also if Lady Tsunade was killed then her children would have someone to work with them.  Lady Tsunade has worked alot with Sakura, so this could be the way that Sakura returns the favor to Lady Tsunade.  

Personally, I think Lady Tsunata should get married and have children in Naruto.  For one thing, the Leaf Village needs strong leadership, who will succeed her lineage?  The third hokage, and the fifth were both the descendants of the first.  Without her line what will happen to the leaf village?  She has a duty to the Village to give birth to a kid, or a several dozen.

However, I don't think she should marry a subordinate.  That would, not set a good example.  She should marry an equal.  Someone who would bring an advantage too the Leaf Village.

Enter Naruto Nara, someone who isn't under her.  His sage-jutsu would benifit the Leaf Village.  He be a tutor to children who weren't part of a family or bloodline.  Also he could start a dojo, to train people to defend themselves.  This would come in handy in an event of attack.  As if there were more people to defend the village the better the chances for survival for all would be.  Many hands make light work.

When he's not doing that he could spend his time practicing japanese organic agriculture.  That way the village would reap a double benefit.  They would get a martial arts teacher, and an someone to grow crops for them.

Why would a ninja village want an organic farmer?  An army marches on it's stomach.  To feed an army you must have adequete supplies.

Why would he want to marry an older woman?  Perhaps she would appreciate him.  Perhaps he is tired of younger woman who just use him.

I also think that Viz should come out with the Neji Chronicles.  It could tell the story of what it was like for him growing up without a father.  Personally, I think that would be better then to have a bunch of filler.  Then they could have the Kiva chronicles.  Then perhaps the Chika Nara chronicles.  Then perhaps the Oni chronicles.  

So I made it through the 2nd and third stages of the Chunin exam in Ninja Saga. I had too go a beat one of the enemies which I didn't plan on. Also I "lost my way" but eventually I found it.

The 3rd stage was interesting. Most of my attacks didn't do alot of damage. So I had to continuelly use healing scrolls.

Then I found out there is a fourth stage. But apparently there was an "interruption". So I need to get some ninja tokens before I can proceed with it. I got five ninja tokens today, but that is not enough. It would be alot easier if I had teammates. But well, I don't.

So I tried taking the chunin exam again. This time I got a 70 on it. Still didn't pass it. I will keep trying it. But it is necessary to wait an hour before taking it again.

So James came over and we played three games or so. The first time I played, I almost won against his fire wind deck. If I had attacked with one of my shinobi he wouldn't be able to block.

However, when I played against his Deep Forest Creation I didn't do so hot. I made several mistakes. One of which I attacked, if I hadn't attacked I could have gotten a few more battle rewards on a later turn.

Also I piled shuffled after a game. Then I got bad draws. So I'm probably going to have to do it again in a tournament.

With Ninja Saga, I have to take the Chunin test to get more experience. So I'm going to concentrate on getting more powerful jutsu's. Maybe I can do it alone, if I get powerful enough. The thing is the jutsu's take time to earn. However this gives me time to make enough money to learn them.

So I have been playing facebook games. Personally, I like a game called Ninja Saga. What I like about it is that it's a turn based rpg. Go on a mission you are really going on a mission.

A friend of mine doesn't like "clicky" games. He refered to some of my games as a "menu" not a game. Well I think he would like this.

Also I think it help Team Awakening. Several of the Team's Members play it. For example, the Team can start a clan on there and call it "TeamAwakening". This will help the team's "Brand Awareness."

Another thing is that in HTML 5 one can play Doom 2 in it. This interests me further. Perhaps I could build games in HTML.

So I've been posting my ideas for naruto cards on the team's site. I must say there is quite a collection so far. I've got more to go.

Don't know if they will ever get used. But hey they might just make it into the Naruto Collectible Card game. I have an especial favorite.

Let's all go to worldcon everybody. So yeah, I found out the only game the creator of Apocalarp is running is at Worldcon. So I want to bring everyone but it's going to take some major fund raising.

This way, if we all go then we are all on the same page. For instance everyone who goes will get to know the Apocalarp rules. Then when we try and put on our own games we will have a group of people who know how to play.

Also, I can be an npc, and get some experience helping run the games. That way that will also help me put on better events. So also I may get some ideas.

But to do it we will have to start funraising. So yeah, I have a few ideas. Perhaps Team Awakening will want to go with me. Maybe they could play in a Naruto Tournament.

So I'm playing a game on Facebook called Ninja Saga. It's a rpg kid of like in the Naruto Universe. Your not in the same village as Naruto. I think it would have been alot more interesting if you were. However, I'm up to level 13 in Naruto. I'm getting close to leveling.

Another thing is a few people from Team Awakening have joined me. So maybe we will make our own clan. Then that will be another way we can get the name out for Team Awakening.

So I am planning to give away some of the cards I don't use on Listia.com. My hope is that this help out other people. As they will be able to get cards they might want need. Also this way it will help Team Awakening. For example, I can use those credits to bid on wal-mart gift cards for the team. Then give them to James as prizes for the team when they go to the tournaments. That will be my way of contributing to the team.

Also I am planning to make up leather binders. However, I want to make it in a style people want. I'm planning to give these binders away as a way to market my leatherworking. Also to improve my leatherwork.

So I made an image for Team Awakening today. I'm hoping James will like it. I could really see it on a t-shirt, or mug.

Also, I think the Team ought to be organized in Squads. For example if there are 8-10 people in a team, there could be four or five people in a squad. Then each of the cocaptains could pick a squad. Then they will be each squad's "sensi". They can help the get rides, help with cards, advise on decks, etc. That way, it will be less work for both of the captains.

Also then once they do get someone who can be a sensi, they can have more people. Also I don't think they should just take anyone on the team. They should have to win a turnament to be on the team. That way they will have genin status. Also they will be like they went through a test. Then if they win a chunin tournament then they are a chunin on the team, so on and so forth.

I was thinking of selling my naruto cards, however I've decided to keep playing it for right now. So James Utterback gave me the cards back. I am going to try to join Team Awakening. It's a team that James and his friend Chris started.

They go to turnaments then divided up the prizes. That way everybody on the team get's a prize. Everyone body has a main deck type to play in tournaments. James is fire/wind. Other people's deck include a puppetmaster deck, a mental power deck, etc.

So me and James put together a Bykugan deck tonight. I took four cars out of my mental power deck and James gave me a bunch of cards. What it seems to do really well is hand control.

I played James Utterback's deep forest creation and his firewind deck and lost both times. But James was very encouraging with it. He said he thinks we can make it better. Some cards out.

James brother Michael also made a deck. A mono-water deck, I believe and it took a long time for him to make it. James and Michael squrred off using my deck verses Micheal's. James beat Michael two out of three times using my deck. I put in some Air Palm's and took out some 64 palm rotations.

Then James and Michael played a game Michael's mono-water deck versus Jame's growth deck. Well Michael beat James with his mono-water deck. However this help James improve his decks.

I'm hoping that people on the team can buy cards in bulk, and save some money. I had promised to buy a box with him, so I gave him a check for some money to buy a box with. That way he can go to Tournaments and might be able to bring stuff back for me. Also perhaps people on the team might be able to use some of the cards as well.

Another thing is I'm hoping Team Awakening can get a sponsor. For example, the entire team could wear t-shirts as advertising. A business may want to sponsor the team to get their name out there. For example, if the team goes to conventions to play tournaments that's alot of time people who will see us.

Also perhaps the team could do fundraisers. For example, collecting aluminum cans to sell for cash. That way it could help to pay for the cards. Also, that builds good work ethic.

A couple of things with naruto is that they only have one ninja that has the sand attribute. Thing is some cards can only be used with that character. Another thing, is they don't have any good clients, well there is one, but the rest need to be worked on. Another thing is to put together a tournament deck, you need super rares.

What I'm planning to do is go to pre-release tournaments. There I have more of an even chance of winning. Also I get a bunch of cards there, so I might get something to put in my regular deck. Instead of buying boosters, I like buying starter decks because I know kind of what I'm getting. One thing is I don't want to buy cards individually. I would rather buy a bunch of cards then I might get something else I want.
