Glad to see your back! Great chapter also! Wasn't expecting yumika to know the tiger but damn it was cool. I'm curious to what he told Yumika that made her freak out like that but I suppose we'll find out soon enough. Ahh Ayako using the sharingan yes. Did she just awaken it or was that just the first time she's used it in Konoha? Anyways, update soon!

Author's Response: Trust me, I'm excited to be back! Thanks for reading and reviewing! The whole scene with Yumika and Toramaru was completely new. It wasn't in the other version at all, but I'm happy with how it turned out and I'm glad you enjoyed it. In order for this series to flow well with all the new characters I have, I needed to use the Chunin Exams as sort of an opening to the next saga, which is Yumika's. And yes, it has now been revealed that Ayako does have the Sharingan, but no this wasn't the first time she awakened it. The explanation is given later as well. (Gosh I feel like that's what I always tell me readers; "you'll find out later!" haha) Again, thank you for sticking and waiting for me. The next chapters shouldn't take too long because there's not much to edit, but I won't promise anything. I still have three more weeks! Can't wait to hear more from you!
