"Damn...why do we have to go to the Land of Iron? It's cold there and a godforsaken place!" - Hidan was complaining loudly, while he and Kakuzu were on their way to the Land of Iron.
"Boss told us to get rid of Itachi's brother so that he doesn't become a hindrance later on. Also, there will be Orochimaru who we have to deal with..." - Kakuzu
"But isn't it better for Itachi to deal with his brother on his own? Why the hell do we have to do it?" - Hidan
"I wanted to get the bounty on the "Lost Hokage", so he sent us." - Kakuzu
"You with your bounties again...if it weren't for that we already could have captured the two-tails...also are you sure that the meeting will be in the Land of Iron?" - Hidan
"The information probably came from Zetsu, so it has to be true...also we get to take out Orochimaru, so don't complain." - Kakuzu
"Orochimaru, eh...that snake-bastard made fun of Jashin-sama...alright I take on Orochimaru." - Hidan
"Keep his corpse intact, he has a huge bounty on him." - Kakuzu
"Oh, not again. If I hear you speak one time more the word bounty, I will offer you as a sacrifice to Jashin-sama!" - Hidan
"Hmph, try it!" - with that Kakuzu blocked Hidan's approach scythe and one of their usual "arguments" started.
Meanwhile, a small frog was looking at those two travelers before jumping into a pond.
At another location, the same frog jumped out of a vase of water.
"You're back?" - Jiraiya, who was sitting in a forest on a picnic blanket, stopped writing in his book and used a seal for Genjutsu.
Then he saw what the frog heard and saw in form of a Genjutsu.
'It's problematic that Akatsuki gets involved too...but thanks to that it was easy getting the location and date...I should inform Tsunade!' - Jiraiya got serious.
"Lady Tsunade, it's a letter from Lord Jiraiya!" - one of the shinobi's stationed at Konoha's letter-receiving station, rushed in.
"Thank you. You may leave now..." - Tsunade instantly opened the letter.
"With Akatuski getting involved, this changes our position of staying by the sidelines..."
"Should I go and call the Anbu Commander?" - Shizune realized the severity of the situation.
"No need. Jiraiya said that he will go to the meeting as well. I don't know if it's because he is concerned about Naruto, or because of Orochimaru or to get more intel of Akatsuki, or all together, but with him being there I can rest assured that this will end up going well. Anyway, we now know the location and date...but it looks like Kakashi is still recuperating so we will have to do without him, unfortunately...call Naruto and Sakura here."
"WHY HAVE YOU SUMMONED ME, GRANNY TSUNADE?? I WANTED TO SEARCH FOR PERVY SAGE SO THAT HE CAN TRAIN ME!" - Naruto obnoxiously shouted with a finger pointed at Tsunade, while Sakura who stood next to him, tried her best to not hit him.
"Granny?! Sigh...I don't have time right now for this...listen: We have information that Shiki Ryuu and Orochimaru are gonna meet up in 4 days." - Tsunade
"Shiki Ryuu...this guy again!" - memories from the last mission instantly surfaced in Naruto's mind and he started to curse and hit the air around him.
Sakura ignored Naruto: "Orochimaru? This is our chance to get Sasuke back!"
When he heard that, Naruto stopped his antics and got serious: "Sasuke..."
"That's right. On this mission, you'll most likely run into Sasuke." - Tsunade
Both Naruto and Sakura showed determination in their eyes.
"But that's not all. Akatsuki is getting involved as well - so your mission is: First, to get to know why the Shiki Ryuu and Orochimaru are meeting up, secondly, capture Akatsuki alive or eliminate them, and lastly, capture or eliminate Orochimaru!" - Tsunade
"Not retrieving Sasuke? You said that we will most lik-" - Sakura was interrupted by Tsunade: "That will depend on Sasuke's stance."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!" - Naruto
"That's...a bit complicated...well, you'll see for yourself."

@UnrefinedBanana One tends to ignore the faults of the MC because he/she is the MC.
stockpiling would let you relax, and recover your creative mojo when you feel burned-out or have irl stuff so thats got my vote
You definitely need to find a schedule that works for you, something you can stick to consistently. There shouldn't be a need to update with a non-chapter about what's going on with you just because you missed a day, though I'm guessing the reason you've been doing so is because you keep promising chapters and end up being unable to deliver them by the deadline you set.
So in addition to setting a release schedule for the readers to know about, you also have to budget your own time. In particular, budget a lot more time than you think you'll need to meet the release schedule, and spend all the time budgeted for writing on actual writing. Ideally, you plan correctly and the time budgeted is enough to finish the scheduled chapters and work ahead a little, and you can reduce the budgeted time spent writing once you've built a buffer. If it ends up not being enough, you either budget more time for writing or keep the budgeted time and reduce the release frequency, or reduce both if you realize the time constraints were affecting other important areas of your life.
I forgot how annoying Naruto can be...
"Lady Tsunade, it's a later from Lord Jiraiya!"
a letter from
Thank you!
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
I agree with the 3 days a week. Consistent release definitely build up the anticipation of the release.
I dont know why people keep saying how could they cope with naruto's annoying attitude before..
Well, because you were introduced the sad backstory on why he became that annoying. He wanted to attract attention because he feels neglected.
And since that tone was set up early on, anything he do was pardoned and even encouraged by the readers.
i vote for 3 days a week, but take your time when you need it
Nice
"That's...a bit complicated...well, you'll see for yourself."
Good idea, sending a ninja on a very dangerous mission, but leaving out information that will shake them both up a lot.... Incredible!
