Whether than the occasional grammar/spelling mistakes, not anything really bad to point out. And something to correct with a previous review, I didn't mean the missions thing. I meant the one given to the rookie nine because of Iruka such as a ninja kidnapping Moegi with Naruto.

Oh gosh. Here I was, thinking I was going to get a straight answer as to what's going on with Yumika in her household and why she doesn't want to participate in them. Unless you said and I didn't notice. As it is it seems like the clan wants/needs Yumika to pass and are majorly pressuring her. But then you mentioned issues in the clan. What are the issues? I'm so confused and want to scream at you to update so I can hopefully get a bit of answers or at least more awesomeness. Ouch. I could really feel Ayako's pain. And to know Etsuyo was going through that as well..... I just wanna give this girls a big hug T^T

Again, answers followed up with questions. Now I see why people hate me when I do this. So, Etsuyo was the only one who knew the truth? Gosh, how much must it have hurt Nishiya? So the woman who caused their past exits of the Chuunin isn't after them, but is trying to damage Nishiya by hurting them? Nice twist if I read that right. Was it someone who had a grudge on her from the mentioned A-rank mission? But now she's being hunted down so she may not interfere with the Chuunin exams. Then again, being in a closed off space didn't exactly stop Orochimaru or being a very wanted missing-nin. I'm liking Nishiya more and more. Not only does she have great teaching, but she truly cares for her students.

Hehe. I couldn't stop smiling as Nishiya appeared and told them they were actually going. I could just imagine how they must have felt. But now they're being released to the Forest of Death. I wonder how this will go. Obviously awesomely.

Man. No next button. But I'm really glad I got around to reading this. I absolutely love this story, Monica-chan. Hehe. I'm too used to suffixes now for this site. It is so weird typing that since I know another Monica who loves anime XD. It'll work until I find something else, though. Anyway, I'm very very eager for more.

Author's Response: Oooohhhh, I gotcha now. I thought that was just to ease Iruka's mind about Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma's decision to put the Rookies into the exams. Team Shizen's entrance work would be their qualifying test really since they purposely came at the time they did because of the exams. Nope, no straight answer like always. It gives you somewhat of an idea as to what's going on like the pressure she has on her shoulders, but of course there's more. Don't worry, you find out as the Chunin exam Arc starts to fade and the Yumika Arc comes into view. Issues involve safety and laws though, and the bout between her clan and the village. (In the Reunited chapter Yumika mentions her parents didn't associate well with others inside the village, so there's definitely tension there.) Yup, that devil woman is trying to rip Nishiya to shreds by harming the ones she cares about. Good guess, you are right. She has a deep, dark, angry grudge against their sensei. The next chapter should be coming up soon. I still have to add things to it and rearrange some things. As it has to be close to the canon again, I have to make everything fit together (ooooiiiii -_-). I'm happy you caught up with the story, now I just have to get caught up with the editing. Haha that's cool that you know another Monica! I don't. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on the chapters posted so far. Now I am pretty okay with accidentally deleting it because now you had the chance to read through it. I'm excited to see what else you think as more comes. Sorry for the current confusion and future ones that are to come but hey, I got to keep it interesting somehow! :)
