Quote:Actually, she had this entire Edo Tensei thing set up ahead of time - So, having Rin there wasn't anything to do with N... she actually had no clue they knew each other, anymore than she had a clue that the Team 7 she was getting wasn't the one she remembered.
Interesting choice on H!Sakura's part. How did she figure that part out though? And I'm surprised she didn't do the zombyizing-kunai-in-the-back thing Mr. Fantastic did during the Chunnin exams, but I guess she read Neshan wrong in thinking he'd be freaked out about it? On an unrelated note, about one in every three times I see H!Sakura, I have to remind myself it stands for Hell! Sakura, not Hentai! Sakura.
She was planning to fuck with -Kakashi's- head.
And as for zombies, well, what's more horrifying - a blank -thing- that's wearing a friend's face... or seeing that precious person alive and fully aware of what you're doing to them and what -they're- doing to -you-.
The Hellbitch is both smarter, better trained, and a whole lot more vicious than Mr. Fangy-gumby.

I smell a plaaaaaannnn.
Quote:Force of nature is exactly right... In her home universe, there's -nothing- more unlucky than a cherry tree. -All- of the hidden villages are gone... And the truly sick thing is, she hasn't done -anything-, combatwise, that couldn't be predicted from her training and captured bloodlines.
Wow. Just wow. Absolutely brutal battle. Neshan readily demonstrates why he's one of the elite of the strongest of the Hidden villages, but H!Sakura has such scarry weird powers that demonstrate that she's a force of nature. The use of the Body Flicker was inspired.
As for Shunshin, well, I was rereading the Kakashi backstory to get a better look at Rin, for the E.T. thing, and I saw Yondaime handing out those special kunai with the seals on them and I kind of thought '...oh. it's obvious.'
And speaking of whom, is it just me, or does he wear a white version of the Special Jounin coat?
Quote:...literally. She'd do it -literally-.
H!Sakura's flirtyness just undlerlines the fact that she'd cheerfully eat Neshan's head. Brrrr. What'd you do to the our sweet (most of the time) pink haired kunoichi?
And, unfortunately, the long stream-of-conciousness post I made while I was working that out for myself seems to have been eaten by the Hacker-bastard. Basically, she found out that killing people on missions made her feel powerful, like she was more than a little girl that had to be protected, and then things -really- snowballed. For decades.
Quote:Actually, until she busted out the Chidori, she was trying to take him alive. You'll note how fast things go south after that.
Again, I'm really impressed byt this fight. Both sides are doing there level best to kill the other, with Neshan recieving the worst of it. I'm still holding out for some miraculous save, but you couldn't really ask for a better fight to go out in. You should be proud, you magnificent bastard.
I -am- thrilled with this, very much so. And, guess what? While, at the moment, I've got only the vaguest idea of how long this thing's eventually going to turn out to be, my current best guess is in the neighborhood of fifty, sixty chapters.
Current word count is 28,646, with Chapter 3 at ~70% and Chapter 4 closer to 30%.
Christ, I hope I can stick with it.
Ja, -n
