@ZKenpachi17 And how, may I ask, is that?

@Eric Thanks! I'm thinking of hinting at Hiruzen's close bond a bit more when he talks (as you suggested), but remember, at that moment, he and every non-Oto Ninja thought it was Rasa. He could potentially call someone that, though keep in mind, particularly if these end up as films, this is probably one of the closest moments we get to profanity (such maturity will most frequently happen in the darker third installment). As for Orochimaru's plans, he doesn't really need it, but the whole reason he is even there is to get revenge on Hiruzen, so it will probably be more frequently featured at this point in time. Did I put city? Sorry, I meant village (although as you saw in the first script, the villages do become cities to show just how much the world has progressed). I'll make the Sasuke edit, as well as the North Gate Commander one. As for Pakkun's line, when I re-read the chapter, here's the jist of what it was: "Sakura: Don't tell me the fourth person is... this little doggy? Pakkun: Hey Missy. Don't call me a cute little doggy. Sakura: I never said... cute..." It's probably just a mistranslation on Mangapanda's part. By the way, what's the "Gemnist twist"?
