Just some answers to questions from this blog's 'Ask Me' page.
Some of these answers are rather spoilerific with recent Naruto chapters.
1. Have you caught up you are to recent Naruto chapters? What do you think about the history of the ninja world. And what do you think of Kaguya?
I have caught up and I have mixed feelings about both those things to be honest.
The history is fascinating but part of me goes- where did all this come from? Some of it just feels so sudden. Another part of me is disappointed at the lack of Uzumaki history. With all the Hashirama and Madara history, all I could think of was... where's Mito? Shouldn't there be something about her in all this? I'm hoping that some Uzumaki history and information comes up in future chapters instead of us having to see Sasuke as an ass all the time.
As for Kaguya. First of all, yay for female villain who's powerful. Not so much yay for her current reasons of villianry. I hope there's more to her character than just 'I want to rule the world blah blah'. I want to see more of her past explaining why she's like that. Am I too crazy to hope for some sort of direct connection between her and the Uzumaki clan? Probably.
2. Against the odds is not on your update list. Is it on another hiatus?
I got a similar PM on FFnet about this and I'll tell you the same thing I told the other person.
The short answer is no, I'm not updating AtO anytime soon. That doesn't mean I'm not working on the next chapter. I'm just concentrating more on the other story ideas because they're less of a hassle.
3. Did you ever consider making Karin the first living Uzumaki that Harry met?

Alternate Jobs: Baker
Another possible job that Harry could have ended up with if he'd answered differently when getting his papers. You can find the previous jobs here: Gardener and Fortune Teller.
This idea sort of grew and grew and I had to stop it before it got too crazy.
Warnings: Un-editied, a what-if scenario, not part of AtO and probably full of plot holes.
“Not the right taste!” An angry man yelled as he slammed the door open and stormed out of the room. “You just don't want to hire someone that's better than you.”
Considering the person before the angry man had left in tears, Harry wondered if he'd be better off leaving before the interview itself.
“You're the last applicant,” A gentle voice said as the door slip open. Clad in large armour with purple markings on his cheeks, the red-haired man would have been intimidating if his eyes weren't so tired. He smiled and motioned for Harry to enter.
Keeping a careful grip on the box he'd brought along, Harry entered. Removing the cooling charms he'd put on the box, Harry placed it on the only table in the room and took a seat at the chair he was shown to.
“I'm Chōza Akimichi,” the man said, his voice still gentle as he took a seat opposite Harry.
“I'm Harii.” Harry hesitated before he added. “I just came to Konoha a few days ago. The gate guards, Izumo and Kotetsu, were the ones who told me about this.”
“Ah, yes,” Chōza said, “The had mentioned sending someone over.”
After some more polite small talk, Harry opened the box.
Chōza stared at the cake inside for a long moment before he cut out a generous portion. With each scoop of cake, he chewed slowly with an unwavering expression.
When he finally emptied his plate, Chōza looked at Harry with a serious expression and said, “This is... perfect. Not too soft and not too dry.”
Remembering the long string of spells he had leaned and used on the batter and then on the baking cake itself, Harry couldn't help but congratulate himself at the end result.
“You're hired!”

Happy June!
Even though it feels like time's passing really fast, I'm actually glad we're in June.
The weather is nicer with lots more sunshine. The sun doesn't set till late which means more time to be outside for barbeques and stuff.
Only downside to this is the fact that I tend to stay up later to spend time on the computer. YouTube time. Seriously, the amount of times I've found myself on there watching videos instead of reading/doing productive things is crazy.
One minute I'll be searching for an old song I just remembered and the next thing I know, I'm watching a creepy game playthrough in the dark.
You're probably thinking- ah, this means there's been no writing going on.
And you'd be wrong.
I have way too many scraps of paper filled with writing that needs to be typed out. Lots of stuff for the blog- I found my old notes for 'A change in age' and other ideas from comments and reviews that I want to expand/fill out for AtO. Plus there's 3 deleted scenes I need to finalize and put up as well.
And the rest of the writing is for Fairy Tail story ideas and trying to see if I can blend some of the new Naruto manga info into my AtO mythos/backstory. Honestly, the only thing I'm keen to have in AtO is Sakura with her yin seal.
So, lots of writing and plotting but not enough editing- which is what I need to be doing to get some updates on FFnet.
I'm sure I'll get things done- I mean, I'll eventually run out of YouTube videos to watch, right?
No, seriously, I'll make June a productive month in terms of updates.
What about you guys? Got any to-dos for the month of June?
