Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Sigh… The things I could do with a Naruto… XD

This came to my mind this weekend. This idea caught me so much that I almost wanted to shout 'ARGH! THE CREATIVE ORGASM!'. My thoughts were: Naruto wants to become Hokage to become a hero and so become accepted by everyone... But being Hokage doesn't mean being a hero. So, I asked myself, what if Naruto wanted to become a hero and stop, screw the Hokage? From that thought, the story built itself. And so... Here it is! Enjoy!

P.S.: I want reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews reviews… Well, you got the idea, right? ;P

The Hero's Codex

This is the hero's codex. Passed down hero by hero, this codex will teach you the basics of the path of the hero. But be warned. This is just a reminder. And this book isn't something that you find in bookshops. This is the only copy existent. And it is passed down to a hero-in-training by a full fledged hero only. And that means only after the full fledged hero has accepted him as his apprentice. The true meaning of everything written inside this text is something that you will discover just by yourself, hero-in-training. Trough hardships and training and your missions. Only when you'll comprehend the true meaning of being a hero you will no longer need this book. In the meanwhile, it will be your companion and friend, yours only to keep. May the gods bless you.

Kazano Atsusa, Nanadaime Shippou Shunketsu(1)

Prologue

They were beating him again. That week it was the third time. This time it had all started when he accidentally kicked his ball too far, and it landed near someone's ankle. That was enough, for them, to start beating on him. He was so sore that he couldn't even feel where the hits came from anymore.

"Man… I'm tired of this. It's not even fun anymore…" Words among those lines could mean two things for the little child. The first one was that his beaters had gotten bored, and they would stop. The second one… Was that they had gotten a new idea on how to hurt him. Suddenly, one of the man picked from the ground a metal pipe.

"Let's try using this, instead… It will be fun." He suggested, chuckling. And Naruto prepared to feel more pain when the other man took the pipe between his hands and raised it above his hands. He closed his eyes…

WHACK!

"Hey! What the…"

SOCK! TUMP! CRACK! "ARGH!" POW! "MY ASS! MY ASS HURTS!" WHACK!

"… Uh? No beating?"

"You can open your eyes, now."

"?" When Naruto opened his eyes, an unexpected scenario was in front of his eyes. His attackers were on the ground, beaten to a bloody pulp. Over them stood a new figure. He was a man in his early forties, it seemed. He had brown hair, tied in the same style of the father of that blonde haired girl who was in his same class… Only that his ponytail was much shorter. And this man surely was not Ino's father. Apart from having brown hair, he had tanned skin, almost brown, and his eye was deep blue… Yes, eye. Because his right one was probably missing, since he covered it with a black patch, and since he could see remains of a burn around it. He had a pair of brown moustaches, and a small beard adorned the space around his lips and immediately under his chin. He was wearing a long blue trench coat, and he could see that… He filled just one sleeve. Probably… He was missing his right arm as well. Naruto swallowed witnessing this. Under the coat he was wearing long black trousers and ninja sandals, and his upper body was covered by what seemed a white shirt. "… You… You saved me?"

"Beating on a child… Such a cruel act is not to be forgiven. And as such, I punished them." Said the man, turning towards Naruto. His voice was deep, and had something to it that inspired Naruto with respect. "Your name, boy?"

"… Uzumaki… Uzumaki Naruto, ossan." Said Naruto, swallowing one more time right after.

"Naruto… Well, would you like me to escort you home? I suppose your parents will be worried about you…" When the strange man said this, Naruto suddenly dropped his head and began to look at the ground, between his knees.

"… I don't have parents… I don't have any family at all…" The man was taken back by this reply, and he was about to say something, but Naruto continued. "I don't have a home either… The orphanage kicked me out… Again."

"…" Now, the man was mutilated maybe, but not stupid. And he tied those bits of information together and came to the conclusion that maybe that beating was just the last one of a long series. "… Boy, I think that it would be better if you tell me the whole story."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so Naruto did. He told his new acquaintance everything, sitting on a swing in the playground while his interlocutor sat on the ground. He told him about the beatings, the harsh treatment that he received from almost anyone, and then he told him of the few good things of his life. Ojiisan, the old man from the ramen stand and his cute daughter… And ramen. That was everything. After he finished, they both stayed silent for what seemed like centuries, but in reality, it was just five minutes, before the strange man decided to talk again.

"… Kid, you sure had a harsh life. Most of kids your age would have snapped… Or worst, died, by now." He said.

"Yes… But it will not be like this forever!" The strange man raised an eyebrow. "One day… One day I will become the Hokage of the hidden Leaf! A hero! And then everyone…"

"You're wrong."

"Uh?" Naruto raised his head and noticed that the man had become even more serious than before.

"You're terribly wrong. Becoming a hero and becoming a Hokage are two different things. Different as water and fire." He said. Naruto was a bit startled. "A Kage is a hero just to the people of his own village. And that doesn't always happens. Otherwise, things like coups d'état wouldn't happen." Naruto swallowed. "A hero is someone who's respected and admired by those who need his help. And that doesn't mean anyone. Heroes always have enemies."

"…" Naruto dropped his head. The strange ossan… Was right. Even if he became a Hokage… He wouldn't become a hero. "Then… I… I…"

"…" The man kept on observing the kid in front of him, observing his behaviour. He was almost on the verge of tears, it seemed.

"Then… What… What do I do, now?" He sniffled. The man reasoned that being accepted by people was important. But why becoming a hero? He would have to ask him later… Later? Later when? … Damn it. He couldn't believe he was thinking about… … Well, the boy was desperate. And desperation was a start, for things like that. Not a good one… But still a start.

"… Boy." Naruto raised his head one more time. "I can't help you with becoming Hokage, but I know of a way to become a true hero."

"!" Naruto's attention returned. And even a bit of hope. "How?! Tell me, tell me!"

"… It's not easy." The man returned serious. "It would force you to travel for a long time. To train harder that you can even imagine, and to risk your life in many ways. Think you can handle that, boy?"

"…" Naruto thought about that for a few minutes. Travel… It would mean living the village… And Ayame-chan, and Sandaime ojiisan, and old man Ichiraku… … Well, he thought they would understand. Training hard. He was prepared for that from a long time. From when he was 5, and he was now six! Yeah! Risk his life… Not that he wouldn't risk his life in the village. After a few minutes, he gave an affirmative nod.

"… Alright. We will make the thing official later. But for now, we must leave. Right now." Said the man when he got up.

"Eh?! But… But I have to say goodbye to…"

"Kid, if you want to become a hero, you need to leave this place. And from what you told me, they will never let you go away, will they?" Said the man, harsher than before. Naruto dropped his head in defeat. He was right again. "Just as I thought. Now… Grab my coat and don't let go." Naruto did immediately as told. The strange man made a single strange sign with his remaining hand, and suddenly, a strange silver mist began to envelope themselves.

"Goukaiijutsu, Shippou Henkan. (2)" The mist began to thicken around them. The man glanced down at Naruto, grabbing his right arm. "You will have to do everything I tell you, boy, if you want to become a true hero." Naruto nodded one more time. "And by the way… My name is Kyuuino Chuushinmaru. I'm the Juuyondaime Shippou Shunketsu.(3)"

And the mist faded away, along with them.

Rule #100: A Hero is allowed to break one of the other rules in few occasions only. One of them is when he finds a suitable person to train.

The Hero's Codex

Chapter1: We need a hero! … But, on second thought…

Chapter1: Various kinds of heroes

Each hero differs slightly from another because of his behaviour, of course. But mainly, there are three general groups of heroes.

A lonely figure was travelling in the forest at high speed, jumping from one branch to the other, his white cape covering everything but his head. What was left uncovered was his long blonde hair, part of which he kept tied in a ponytail behind his head. Deep blue eyes observed the images running in front of him, and three whisker marks per cheek were grazed by the wind.

'Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running…'

Territorial Heroes

These heroes are the ones who travel less. They choose an area to protect, usually one where the troubles and the crimes suit their level of skill and power, and they intervene whenever their help is needed.

"!"

The blonde haired boy stopped in his track and somersaulted back and then to a branch above, dodging three kunai launched in his direction. He looked around and began looking for his attackers, but he suddenly heard the noise of leaves moving behind his back. He did a jump forward and he dodged a punch that hit the branch where he was standing on a few seconds before, breaking it in half.

Headquartered Heroes

These heroes usually have the support of an organization, or of a group of people who decide to help him economically in his path. These heroes, this way, dispose of ways to travel great distances in a short time, and they usually intervene when normal keepers of order aren't enough only. These heroes usually need to be very powerful to fulfil their role and to persuade their financiers.

While falling, Naruto swung his right arm, letting loose the hidden blades he kept in his sleeve. His attacker dodged them and launched another three kunai at him. Naruto immediately performed a little series of hand-seals, and the kunai hit a log, instead. Naruto found himself where he wanted to be, hidden behind another group of tree-branches.

'Ok… Now, for the next move…' He began to think of his next attack...

"Sorry, but it ends here, Naruto."

"!" But he suddenly found a kunai against his throat.

Wandering Heroes

These kind of heroes are the ones who travel the most and most of them are heroes at the beginning of their path, or the most powerful ones. They travel wherever their heart guides them, intervening whenever their help is needed. All Heroes try at least once this path for a particular reason that will be explained in later chapters.

"Damn it! I've lost again!" Cursed Naruto while Chuushinmaru moved his kunai away, smiling and shaking his head. While Naruto had grown, he hadn't changed much, in six years. Apart some white hair that showed to the others that he was approaching 50 years old.

"Not really. This time you did extremely good. I mean, the match would have continued, if it would have been any other opponent. You were unlucky since you landed near my Shippou Henkan point. I mean, we're the only people left who know that technique." Said the older man. Naruto just grumbled.

"Whatever… Let's just hurry up. Where are we going, again?" He said, dusting off his clothes. Let's describe it a little, shall we? We've already talked about the white cape. Then, his other clothes. A sleeve-less tee, emerald green coloured, till right under his sternum. From that point to the end, the tee was white coloured. The thing had a hood that he wasn't currently wearing on top of his head, of course, and a zipper that was currently closed till half his sternum. Under that, a white coloured short sleeveled t-shirt. His pants were similar. They covered to half of his shins, and were wait from the waist to mid tight, and then they were emerald green. Accessories included a pair of blue coloured ninja sandals. Wrapped around his left tight thanks to a bunch of white bandages, a weapon pouch. And finally, a pendant. Well… You could tell that he had a pendant by the white lace around his neck, but the real pendant was hidden under his shirt.

"As I've already said about… Four times, we're walking along the border with Kumo from the moment that boat dropped us off on the northern coast of the Marsh country, three days ago." He said, jumping to the ground, quickly followed by the blonde haired kid. "We will follow it till we reach a city on the southern coast, and then, we will take a boat. I still don't know where we could go, though…"

"Uhm… I suppose that the hidden mist is too far…" Said Naruto, rubbing his chin with his right hand. "Then, where to?"

"We'll decide once we arrive in that city. And if we hurry, we'll reach it by sundown." And with that, he jumped away again. Naruto grinned and then followed him.

"That sounds good. And I bet we could even find some DID(4) there, right?" Asked Naruto, excited.

"… Naruto…" Chuushinmaru just shook his head, smiling. The boy loved saving girls. Not for the rewards he could get from them, of course. He was too young and too innocent for that. And all the Shippou Shunketsu be damned before he'd let his apprentice become a pervert. He liked it because it was something that his ideal kind of hero did often. A very romantic vision… "It's not like in every town we will travel girls are in need of assistance."

"Uff… It would be fun, though… And I'm looking forward to save a princess, one of these da… ARGH!"

SPLASH

Naruto, daydreaming, didn't notice that the forest had ended, and since, he had landed in the shallow water of the marsh that now was in front of them. Chuushinmaru was by his side, standing on the water.

"WHAT THE HELL?! HOW CAN A FOREST FINISH SO SUDDENLY?!

"They call it the Marsh country for a reason, Naruto. Here forests are very few and of little extension. The largest one is the one that covers almost the entirety of the border with Kumo… Almost." He said. Naruto just gathered chakra to stand on the water and he squeezed his cape.

"Fortunately it's clean water… My poor WHITE cape…" Naruto pouted a little while his companion chuckled at his behaviour.

Damsel In Distress

This definition applies to practically every female being who has been kidnapped, harassed, outraged, etc… A true hero, especially male ones, can't resist the urge to help these kind of PIN, People In Need.

Note: For information on gay heroes, check chapter 18.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end, Chuushinmaru and Naruto reached the town of Sakai. The town was very strange. The townfolks called it the split city, since half of it was in the Marsh country, the other half was in the Lightning country. The town itself had a strange barrier in the middle of it, not that it prohibited anyone from crossing the border. It was just symbolic, as symbolic an enormous red stripe on the ground can be. But this thing of the split territory made so that there was rivalry and even some fights between the two halves of the city.

"Now, to find a inn to rest into…" Commented Chuushinmaru, while Naruto kept on observing his surroundings. It was natural. Among the two, the one who had travelled the world was the oldest of the two, not the twelve years old.

"Heeeeelp!"

A cry of help. This is something that makes every hero's five senses active to take in everything related to it. And the cry of help came from… The answer to Naruto's prayers. A girl in her mid twenties was crying for help while a bulky man was running away carrying her on his left shoulder.

"A DID! YES!" Naruto trusted his right elbow down in the air in front of himself, then, he turned to his sensei. "Please, Chuu! Can I take care of this on my own? This way I'll even try that thing…"

"Sigh… Alright." Chuushinmaru looked around, and he caught with his eyes a nice looking inn. He pointed at it. "Whenever you're done, I'll be at that inn over there."

"Gotcha! See ya later!" And with that, Naruto was after the kidnapper and the kidnapped. Chuushinmaru observed his disappearing figure while chuckling and shaking his head.

"Sigh… He just couldn't wait to try his theme song, couldn't he?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter8: Theatricality

Being theatrical is an art, for an hero. Fundamentally, heroes can choose to be the silent kind or the theatrical kind. Both have their good and bad aspects, but, basically, being theatrical is more suited for heroes who want their name to be known. There are two kinds of theatricality.

"Let me go! You… You brute!!!"

The kidnapper had flown to the Kumo half of the town, and he was now in an alley, with the girl on the ground, her hands and legs tied. The bulky man was grinning. You see, there was this rule, in that city. Crimes committed in one half couldn't be persecuted if the criminal flew to the other half of the city.

"Brute? Haven't got a better insult, girly?" 'Like pervert, since what I'm about to do…'

The first kind is called Theatricality of the fearful image. This is the theatricality of the heroes who want to be feared by their enemies. They usually use a dark choice of clothes and a even darker behaviour. The comeback is that they can be feared and clamed to be dangerous by the same people they want to protect.

"Now, be a good girl and… Let me have my way with you… Not that you can do anything about it…" Saying this, the man chuckled. The girl backed away in fear.

"Nooo! Please, heeeeeelp!" She shrieked. In the meanwhile, Naruto was preparing his entrance. He took out of his weapon pouch a small scroll, and opened it on the ground. He did some hand seals and then slammed his palms on it, injecting chakra into it.

"Goukaiijutsu, Shudaika no Jutsu.(5)"

Then, there is the Theatricality of the theme song. This kind of theatricality has two comebacks. It makes the hero famous and probably be loved by a lot of people, but at the same time lots of them will not take the hero seriously unless they see him fight. But this last thing can be used at your advantage.

"Stop right there!"

"!"

"!"

The kidnapper and the kidnapped both raised their heads just in time to see a green and white cloud appear above them and landing between the man and the girl, on one knee. When the figure got up from the ground, a music started to play out of nowhere. URL Theme Song/URL

"As long as life permeates my body…"

The man and the girl stared. The figure began to slowly get up.

"As long as the sun shines and the moon makes night beautiful…"

The figure got up and launched high in the air his white cape, and incredibly, he landed exactly on the girl's shoulders, revealing a blonde haired kid around twelve years old, who was staring at the man with his right arm stretched in the movement of the previous launch and his left one perpendicular to his body, with his left fist clenched.

"I'll prevent and punish such treacherous acts as a true hero! Because I'm the hero-in-training Uzumaki Naruto, the green hope!"

"…" The man observed the kid in front of him like he was a freak… And he probably was. "Sigh… More meat to punch, I see…"

Especially during fights. The enemies will highly underestimate the hero if he starts a fight with a speech while a theme song plays in the background.

"Hmph." Suddenly, the blonde haired kid became a blur of white and green. And the next thing the man knew, before falling unconscious, was an elbow hitting him in the stomach. Hard.

This will lead to… To use a cool expression, even faster deliveries of tax-free knuckle-based kick-ass sandwiches.

The man, for a moment, stood there, with Naruto's right elbow in his stomach, then he slowly fell on his back, on the ground, making a loud noise. Naruto smirked and turned around, walking towards the girl. He took out a kunai and untied her. She got back on her feet.

"T-Thanks… You saved me…" She said, stuttering a little.

"Yes. Now I'll escort you back home and take this jerk to the prison. Please, grab my sleeve." Said Naruto, while grabbing the jerk's arm with his right hand. The girl obeyed and grabbed his left sleeve. Using his left hand, Naruto did a single hand seal.

"Goukaiijutsu, Shippou Henkan."

Naruto and his new acquaintances disappeared in a cloud of silver smoke, and they reappeared in front of the place's police headquarter, in the Marsh side. Naruto dropped the guy on the ground, and turned towards the girl one more time.

"I'll leave the rest to you. This jerk will not wake up for a whole day. And… You can keep the cape. See ya." With that, Naruto began to walk away.

"W-Wait…" Naruto stopped and turned around. "I just… Wanted to say… Thank you."

"No need to thank me. I'm a hero-in-training. It was my pleasure. Just remember the name of the Green Hope, Uzumaki Naruto." And with that, he walked away again… Just to suddenly curse loudly when he realized he had forgot the Shudaika scroll on the roof of before.

In the meanwhile, the girl sighed in his direction with a dreamy smile, not noticing her mother behind her.

"Yumi! Oh, kami-sama! Are you alright?! What have they done to you?!" The older lady was immediately in front of her daughter, who just kept on staring in front of her, sighing.

"Oh, hi, mom. Nothing much… I was kidnapped, almost raped, and then saved. And I think I just fell in love with a twelve years old. Does that make me a shotacon?"

"OH KAMI-SAMA! THEY DRUGGED YOU!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuushinmaru wasn't one who liked to be alone. But he had learned, from the first day he had taken Naruto under his wing, to savour those rare moments of peace when that ball of energy in a human shape wasn't around. And while he kept on thinking about how wonderful was that silence, said ball opened the door of the inn with a slam.

"Damn it! I got lost two times, trying to recover the scroll…" He muttered in nothing more than a whisper.

"I suppose all went smoothly?" Asked Chuushinmaru, while taking another sip of the tea he was drinking. Naruto sat in the chair in front of him, at the same table.

"Yep. Apart a little problem with the Shudaika no Jutsu. I almost forgot the scroll on the place… After all the fatigue I made to change the notes into seals and write them on the damn thing!" Naruto pouted a little, then sighed. He extended his right arm towards his sensei. "Change."

"Naruto, you will go broke, if you continue to 'give away' your white capes to all the DIDs you save… And they're a lot, you know." Chuushinmaru took Naruto's spare white cape from his backpack, and he handed it to the blonde haired boy.

"So? I don't see the problem. I'll just go and make broke another casino or something…" Said the boy while putting on his new cape… And he met Chuushinmaru's hard and serious stare. "…"

"Naruto…" He said, as an admonishment.

"… I know, I know. Rule #39: Heroes are allowed to subtract money just in case of emergency, and they must try to not waste it. I know…"

"Good." Chuushinmaru had a harsh look on his face… But in the inside, he sighed in relief in the place of the casino's owner. The boy had such luck for games like poker, dices and the like that he could make a whole nation broke that way, if he wanted. "Now, let's focus on something else."

Chuushinmaru took out of his back another thing. This time, it was a map of the elemental countries. His personal map that he had filled during his years of travels, displaying all that a normal map could show and various other things that weren't note to most people. He opened it on the table.

"Since there's nothing much to see nor to do in the Bear Country, I suggest we travel to the Forest country."

"Uh?" Naruto stretched his neck to look more closely at the map, almost closing his eyes to focus on a point. "Mhhh… But I don't think there are any ships that go there from here, Chuu. It's too far… Right?"

"Right. So, what do you suggest to do? Lesse if you've learned something." Chuushinmaru would have crossed his arms, if he had got both of them. So, he just leaned back on his chair.

"Uhmmmm…" Naruto began to think, while observing the map. He then noticed that there was an isolated group of islands very near to the fire country's border. The Wave country. He stretched his right index finger and leaned it on the map, over the country. "I suggest we take a boat that takes us here… And then we take another one till the Forest country."

"Good. That's exactly what I had in mind. Glad that you didn't work your body only, during these years." The older man nodded, satisfied with Naruto's train of thought.

"Ah! Just my Shudaika should have gave you an idea of how my mind works!" Replied Naruto, grinning and crossing his hands behind his head.

"That's exactly why I was worried."

"HEY!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we have talked about the places and the characters… Well, the main characters, should we focus on the time? And maybe on a different place and on different characters? Let's focus on Konohagakure no Sato. It has been a few week since the new set of genins has been passed by their Jounin senseis. A couple of strange facts, though, made this year one to remember. The first strange thing was that an academy teacher, named Mizuki, had tricked a student who had not graduated into stealing a forbidden scroll. Fortunately, since no kid without an enormous amount of luck or a particularly strong technique could steal something from the Hokage's office without being noticed by said Hokage, the teacher was arrested and subdued before anything could happen. Second, and even more particular thought, was that the infamous Jonin Hatake Kakashi finally passed a team. Voices were that he had received pressures by the council because he was the only one who could train the last Uchiha, being the only other Sharingan possessor in the whole World, apart the missing nin Uchiha Itachi.

Now, let's focus on a place and on some characters. The place is the room where rooms are assigned every day to the group of Genins and their Jonin senseis. Now, for a team who has been active for almost an year, is only natural to receive C-ranked missions. And that was the case of the previous' year team 12. Sensei: Maito Gai. Team: Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji, Haganebuki TenTen. The Hokage inspired some smoke from his pipe, before talking.

"Gai. I see that your team is as lively as ever."

"Of course, Hokage-sama! This beautiful assemble of youth power shines like a thousands suns!" Immediately commented Gai.

"Yosh, Gai-sensei!" Immediately followed his clon… Ehm, most youthful pupil, Rock Lee. And this behaviour made the two remaining team-members sigh in frustration.

"Hey… Couldn't you two not be so 'youthful' so early in the morning?" This comment was voiced by the only female member of the group, while the Hyuuga stayed silent. The Hokage sweatdropped. It looked like some bad comic snippet.

"Ah-ehm. However, we have a C-ranked mission for you, today." This immediately caught the attention of everyone in the room. "It's an escort mission of a certain individual." Then, he turned his head towards the other end of the room. "Please, come in, Tazuna-san."

"What? But they're just a bunch of kids!" The person who had just entered the room took a sip of sake from a bottle he was holding in his left hand. "And… About the blind kid in the middle… Is he really a ninja?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"It'sunyouthfultolaughatyourteam-mate'sexpenses,It'sunyouthfultolaughatyourteam-mate'sexpenses,It'sunyouthfultolaughatyourteam-mate'sexpenses…"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So… This is the Wave country… Wow…"

Naruto and Chuushinmaru had just been dropped off by the boat which had brought them there, and the twelve years old had immediately begun to observe everything around him. There was a light mist surrounding the area, and various kinds of trees and plants, a couple of which he hadn't ever seen, filled the sides of the natural path in front of them.

"Fascinating, hn? It's like the mist country, only that, there… You always have this feeling… Like something dangerous is always hiding in the mist, ready to lunge at you. Here, instead… It gives you a sense of peace." Said Chuushinmaru, and then he handed Naruto his backpack. "We'll reach the nearest town by sunset, if we walk at a steady pace. Let's move out."

"Alright!"

Sensei and apprentice began to walk towards their destination. And in doing so, they didn't notice the presence well hidden on one of the threes, a bit far from their position.

"… They're just travellers, it seems. But they give off a strong aura… … I've better warn Zabuza-sama, just to be sure."

Continue…

In the next chapter…

A story often follows more paths and more people than just the main character. So, we'll see Naruto's and Chuushinmaru's reactions to their visit to the Wave country, and Gai's team journey. The latter group will find an enemy on their path… Stay tuned!
