Let's Go the Distance chapter 1

2008-08-15T02:44:47Z

Ok this is the 1st chapter of my Naruto fanfic. I started writing this in January so obivously things will not match up with the most recnet chapter of the Naruto manga. Posting it here as well just cause I feel like it. SPOILERS! this story takes place directly after Itachi dies and is an alternate continuation for the story. Sasuke kills Itachi and realizes that he needs the help of Naruto and the rest of the group if he is going to defeat Madara. But how will the group react? Find out! this is my first fanfic. Hope you enjoy.

“I haven’t forgotten what happened on that day, next time I will protect you MY way”

He stared at the blood-drenched body that lay before him. He had done it. He had finally done it. He had succeeded in killing his brother. Sasuke paused momentarily before making any movements, just to reassure himself that he had accomplished his goal and that it wasn’t just another genjutsu or a clone. The stillness of the cavern after the battle was eerie and strange yet there was no hint of the world beginning to dissolve. It wasn’t a genjutsu. No, this was really the end. He had been waiting for this moment, the moment that he would avenge his clan, for many long years but now that it had finally come Sasuke felt a twinge of regret.

Itachi’s words echoed in Sasuke’s head “A man whose eyes tamed the nine-tails and controlled it like a pet. An invincible immortal. That’s who Uchiha Madara is.”

Sasuke realized that although this was the man that he had blamed for the death of his family and entire clan, he was not the one pulling the strings. No, that was Uchiha Madara. Was he really an immortal? How could the man that wiped out the clan that he had founded still be alive? And most importantly, how could he kill someone with that much power on his own?

If Madara could indeed control the powers of the kyuubi then it was doubtless that he would be going after Naruto. Sasuke thought bitterly of his ex-friend and rival. If he did truly intend to kill this Uchiha Madara he would have to confront Naruto, either as a friend or an enemy. Now that he possessed Itachi’s mangekyo sharingan he would just need to figure out how to unlock its power. If he could gain control over Naruto’s demon then he could take down Madara.

He figured that it would not be too difficult to track down the dobe since he was doubtlessly close on his trail not to mention that he wasn’t the sharpest kunai of the bunch. He would simply backtrack slightly, avoiding the current location of Team Hebi. He sure as hell was not going to resort to joining with his former “team”. They were much too troublesome and would most likely prove a pain when it came to the inevitable reunion with Naruto.

Sasuke slowly turned away from the cloud cloak-clad corpse and exited the cavern. “Guess your eyesight was poorer than you thought Itachi. But thanks to you, mine won’t fade.”

Zetsu watched as the raven-haired boy strolled out of the cave. Pein had warned him to not interfere with the activities of the two brothers. He was right in following these orders. Once the young man had vanished out of Zetsu’s senses, he phased the rest of his body through the cool stone wall of the cavern and approached Itachi’s motionless body.

“It’s too bad that Itachi’s dead, he was a great asset to our cause” said Zetsu’s white half.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. Let’s just retrieve his ring and dispose of his body”, replied the darker side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“God dammit!”. Naruto was pissed. Not just the normal variety either. No, he was fuming, almost quite literally courtesy of the slight kyuubi aura that surrounded him. Who the hell was that man? Tobi was what he had called himself but who was he? He was indeed a member of the Akatsuki, the same group that had been trying to extract the blonde’s biiju from him and the same group that that Sasuke-teme’s brother belonged too. Naruto’s eyes were fading from a blood crazed red back to their familiar shade of blue.

The battle had not gone as well as it should have. The lush forest that had been present upon their arrival was patchy at best. Kunais could be found buried in the trunks of some surprisingly still standing trees. The forest had become the site of an intense battle. Despite how clueless this Tobi person had appeared he was actually quite a skillful fighter. And besides, he had that damn Uchiha sharingan. How could he have the same eyes as that Sas…it didn’t matter anymore at least to Naruto. This battle had already delayed him enough as it was and drained a good quantity of his chakra not to mention that of his comrades.

Despite having so many allies present, Naruto had done most of the fighting with occasional assistance from Sai and Kakashi until a certain point. Yamato stayed nearby simply for the purpose of ensuring everyone else’s safety in the event that Naruto lost it and began his decent into his kyuubi possessed state. Sakura was busy treating various injuries that had occurred to the Konaha ninjas from various chunks of flying debris and logs. She herself was for the most part unharmed and had remained conscious for the duration of the battle.

“So….who the hell was that anyway?” was how Kiba eloquently phrased his question.

Uneasy glances flickered from the surrounding faces. Everyone had seen it. That man had been a sharingan user, which meant that he was indeed an Uchiha yet nobody wanted to be the first one to say it.

“It doesn’t really matter at this point who he was,” Kakashi said as he walked toward the center of the group, breaking the silence, “the real question is how do we find him?”

“You’re kidding me right Kakashi-sensei?” Naruto asked. “He’s gone for now. Why does it really matter. We’ve been sidetracked enough. Let’s just get back on the trail and find Sasuke!”

“Hold it right there Naruto-kun.” Yamato had approached Naruto without him realizing it and had put a restraining hand on his shoulder. The eager blonde had already begun to move out at the thought of retrieving his former teammate. “We can’t simply run off on another chase after a battle like that. We need to rest before we move on. Your chakra supply has been depleted severely not to mention that everyone needs a break after an experience like that. What would happen if we did encounter Sasuke-kun in our current condition?”

Naruto clenched his fists at the though of having to wait another moment until resuming the search for Sasuke. They were right. Maybe he did need a rest, they definitely did. “Alright Yamato-taichou. But after this we’re going to track down that Sasuke-teme dattebayo!”

Not a single one of the Konoha ninjas could remain in a worn out state with the hopefulness that emanated from the golden-haired boy filling the air. Hinata, Sakura, Sai and Yamato gave satisfied smiles, while Kiba, Kakashi and Shino simply nodded in agreement to Naruto’s words. Akamaru gave a thunderous bark of approval as the group gathered together to discuss tracking

Happy Valley

2007-02-17T00:54:41Z

This story is a stroy told to us by Proffesor Matchett about the unfortunate citizens of Happy Valley:

There once was a village located in the peaceful Happy Valley.

The citizens of Happy Valley were content because there village was in equillibrium between the formic acid, formate ions, and hydronium ions that lived there.

Then one day an evil horde of Sodium hydroxide appeared.

The evil horde invaded the village and cut off hydrogens from the formic acids that lived in the village causing them to become formate ions and throwing off the equillibrium.

After the horde left the wary citizens came out of their huts to see the damage. After this event the citizens had to ICE table their way back to equilibrium and were once again at peace.

Haha! I was reading gabby's science thing and decided to make this pic!

Chem quotes! AGAIN!

2007-01-25T16:06:49Z

"We have a small equilibrium constant a very few products have formed. Translation: We have a shitload of reactants! There is a lot of N2 and O2 just waiting to kill us."

"I would love to tell you that I did that on purpose to test you, but eventually I'll die and have to answer to higher powers about why I lied so much"

In reference to ozone action days and staying inside...
"No mom I can't go outside. I'm playing my ds and saving the environment!"

"Name another organic substance that you wouldn't want O3 to eat away at...US!"

"I do not recommend self'experimentation"

"So now we have acid rain. You might may well that's a good thing right? No it's not that kind of acid!"

Ok more random quotes from Prof Matchett, my chemistry prof.

"This is the form of word LeChatlier that we will be using today. It will msotly likely be different today and the day after. Expect my spelling of words to change daily. I feel that the freedom of speech also involves the freedom of spelling."

"Tools are good. They're what got us out of the caves. Soon after we were out of the caves we began to discuss equilibrium."

2007-01-22T16:45:32Z

In chem today my prof was talking about a specific rxn taht most people probably learned in high school:
heat + A + B -----> C + D
and he said "if I ever catch you using this statement in any form that it will cause immediate DEATH!...maybe not for you but for some of my braincells as I beat my head against the table"

English:
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star1, 2, and so the bells echo, spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart
A legendary stardrop, inside it there's so many narrow paths etched out
With time, the ages pass; a shooting star passes without a sound
Close your eyes and listen hard, maybe you'll hear a "Goodbye"A black and white photo of the entire sky, a rumbling muffler - white breath
Just wanna get a little closer, I'll race to the high ground up there
Taking out my huge telescope, out of the lens came stardust
Time after time, an epic from across the ages# Now that the light is released,
surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star
With my birth cry, a small light and a great light met across space and time
Their shine became one, to begin a new story
Like a constellation that connects the dots,
why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone?
Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond
This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star
This sky is the only one there is; it spreads over all. And beyond the sea,
right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off, while stars shine on, like goddesses
continuing a long journey, or starting anew; in spring, summer, fall and winter
even a second is enough, just a moment is enough, to engrave my thoughts, to shine without end across the agesThe story goes on in the heart
the "you" of that day takes a night trainRays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that starLet's shine on like that star

Bleach ending song

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Whoâ€™s gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we canâ€™t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

dooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just donâ€™t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought Iâ€™d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo

You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon

Ok so I'm pretty much really upset at the fact that there are sooo many good anime out there. I don't ever have enough time to watch them all. Plus only a few episodes are out of some of the really good ones and I'm really frustrated at the fact that I can't just sit down and marathon them all. UHHHH!!!!!!! Flippin' GRRRR!!!!!!!!! Why does life have to be so frustrating?!??!?!

Bowling...

Playing with weapons...

pictionary?...it's amazing how a drawing of a turtles foot can turn into Will

The Rice Crispy Treat

2006-09-15T02:21:55Z

Today after Chemistry Heather and I were hanging out and all of a sudden she starts talking about a huge rice krispy treat that she bought at the bagel shop on campus. She pulled it out of her backpack and it was so giant! It was almost as big as her head. It was like a rice crispy brick. Instead of a rice crispy treat it was a rice crispy meal! It was so awsome. I think we got a little overexcited over it.

An Excursion to the Zoo

2006-08-11T21:35:35Z

Ok so on Tuesday Gabby, Kris, SheShe and I went to the Binder Park Zoo. SheShe was acting kind of strange on the way there. I think the combination of sleeplessness and her personality gave her morning madness (very common among Save-A-Lot employees).

We met Will and Anna, two of my ecotour friends when we got there.
While exploring the zoo we found many cool animals and had lots of fun.The first animals that we saw were some Tundra swans,

giant carp,

and softshell turtles.

We took the Swamp trail and made fun of the entire setup of it. We also had a duck "potatoe" fight which ended with me having a huge wad of duck weed (thrown by Kris) splattered on me. After exiting the Swamp Trail we continued to the Wild Africa exhibit. On the way we saw:
Mexican Gray Wolves

Red Pandas

mongolian wild horses

and a crow and raven exhibit that had the names of the two species wrong. Will got pretty worked-up about that.

While waiting to board the shuttle to Africa there was a peacock at the station. I attempted to pet him but decided on taking a picture instead.

We made good time on our trip to Africa. It only took us 5 minutes to get there. Upon arriving we enjoyed quiesently frozen traditional African dairy confections (really just ice cream). Then we headed out on our journey.We encountered many animals on our journey, such as:
ostriches,

giraffes (which we fed),

African Crested Cranes,

maribou storks,

hornbills,

pin-tailed flycatchers,

and many other interesting animals that I don't recall the names of.

Then we returned to the U.S.A on a shuttle.
When we got back we went to the conservation building and had some fun there.

Some of us even took a quick nap.

Then we went to see their featured exhibit:Chomper the Alligator Snapping Turtle. It was kind of depressing because he was in a small tank. But he was still cool.

Then we went out to the front of the building a took pictures with one of the world's most beloved birds: The Dodo.

And finally we headed to the gift shop. while we were there we could not resist the urge to play with the puppets and other toys.

We then departed from the zoo...
...and went to Best Buy. We hung out in there for a while and then returned to the cars where we hung out some more and admired Anna's crappy parking job. After this we journeyed to Steak n' Shake.

We had fun just talking and making fun of Kris for his horrible habit of eating too much salt. Then we departed from my ecotour friends and set off for home.
Upon returning to Gabby's house, Kris, Gabby, Austin, and I enjoyed a funfilled night of anime. This included the most awesomely funny anime ever: Ouran High School Host Club.

This show features Kris's anime counterpart, Tamaki. Tamaki is also an obnoxious elitist who takes much pride in himself and his perfection, but at heart he is still a good person.

Work

Ok I have decided that there are some people that you should not work with. Shelle (PIC at work) put Kristen, Sheena, and me on the schedule to work together. She did this becuase she said that we are all great workers. Well guess what. When you put us together nothing gets done or we just argue and fight alot. I guess it's because we all get along together so well. It's so funny.

Bike ride

2006-04-27T23:03:08Z

Ok well today I was trying to take my dog Sasha for a bike ride. He decided to stop abruptly when we were going at a rather quick pace. I went flying off my bike to the right, cause she stopped on the left. Then she ran OVER me and the bike fell on me. Then she just stood there and I couldn't get up because her being where she was was holding the bike on me.Then I finally got up and had to walk home. My hip still hurts very badly and my tailbone. Grrr....
