First a question. Was Etsuyo's original last name Terumi? Because I didn't notice before the connection to a certain person that would give her.

First off, I am seeing what you mean by dialogue. This chapter had a lot of opportunity to bring in more emotions, but it was lacking there. After all, she went away for years to come back to not only her only remaining non-murderer relative, but her twin.

I enjoyed meeting the new characters. I remember glimpsing them before, but I didn't remember them very well. It was cool to get the refresher. They are pretty cool characters and I'm very curious about their own histories. It was very sweet to see Ayako and Sasuke reunited. Sasuke really needs someone there for him. Plus it was to his own imagination what had happened to her.

The meeting with the Hokage was interesting. I am curious - was it only because of her lack of power her existence was kept a secret? If so, that's just messed up and I'm surprised Hiruzen actually kept it. Then again, things with the Uchiha had to be approached cautiously. Or did they not know much about the Uchiha stuff then? I can't remember..... So they're a part if Konoha now, huh? That's pretty cool.

I can't wait to see where this will go. I had forgotten they became a part of Konoha, so it's nice to know my forgetfulness is helping me enjoy this more.

Author's Response: Long response in return for your long review coming your way! The answer to your first question is yes. Etsuyo's last name is originally Terumi for this version (including the accidentally deleted one). Past attempts to write this story her name was actually Jade Hyuuga, but for Path of my Brothers she was renamed Etsuyo Terumi. There is a connection to the certain person I believe you are thinking of, but that won't come in until later. The dialogue problem is the reason why I decided to edit the entire story. After rereading all I had wrote I noticed majority of the chapters were almost completely synopses. Unfortunately, I couldn't fix all of it and only added a few describing paragraphs. Going back to previous chapters to re-reedit them is in question, otherwise I might leave it the way it is and hope it doesn't ruin everyone's enjoyment of the story. I'm glad you like my other characters. Like Naruto has many arcs, so will P.O.M.B. including a Yumika Arc, Etsuyo Arc, and the entire story is pretty much an Ayako Arc. Nishiya's actually won't fully come in until the sequel. Never the less they will all deal with their histories. Ayako's reasons for non-existing may surprise you considering I have a lot in store. I hope I didn't give away too much, but when readers have questions I like to give them some answers. Thank you for your thoughts once again, Sasaui Uchiha. I look forward to more.
