Anko shows up in the next bit I'm working on. I'll probably post that later today, maybe tomorrow. I need to tweak it some, 'cause I'm not sure about my use of Anko's 'voice'. Anyway, Anko, for my purposes, isn't changed all that much from canon - ie, she used to be Orochimaru's student, and now, well, isn't. I've got reasons for playing that straight.
'course, here, she's acting head of Leaf Intelligence...
The next bit I've got drafted out begins from Sasuke's point of view, and may be illuminating in that regard. Or not. Depending.
...wait, you're the guy behind One Hundred Days? Damn, I totally love that story. Jeez. o_o;;;

Quote:Similar trauma, yeah. And with Itachi still in the village, the reminders of it are rather more close to home. Exactly what's up with the Uchiha...I've got a vague plan for some scenes with Itachi and his cabal of young warhawks, the current leadership of the Uchiha clan. Then a (verbal) confrontation between Itachi and Sasuke that doesn't end well for little brother.
Without that or some similar trauma, given the glimpses we see of him pre-massacre, I doubt he would turn out anything close to the Sasuke we know from canon.

Quote:Hmm. Given that's the second comment I've received in that respect...I really gotta think about that. I'll probably rewrite part of that first bit, at some point. If I keep the dialogue, I might have Kabuto...start by doing something deliberate that'd poke Naruto's perv-meter. Hmm.
I agree that Naruto calling Kabuto a pervert seems a bit off. We've only really seen him call people perverts who were actively engaged in perversion, and his reasoning in deciding Kabuto is one doesn't really "feel" like Naruto.
Quote:Huh, that's cool. Honestly, I feared that my notions would be regarded as silly or unworkable, and...
This story actually has a lot of similarities to one of the ideas I'm toying with for my next project after One Hundred Days (and a lot of differences, too, of course).
