If I get as far as the tourney I have planned, things of that nature might happen more often.

Think about this, Overt... Jacob West (Josh's grandfather) is stronger than Valerie, and Josh is "destined" to be stronger than him. Those are probably early DBZ levels.
B4 vote - Ask 21 how long he'll be available (so we can set a teleport date).

Valerie can already destroy the planet with like 3 different jutsu
Going with Vegeta's vote.

"How long will you be around, 21?" you ask him.
He shrugs at that. "I'll be here for however long. Besides, I can come and go as quickly and as often as needed. You're the one that'll probably be leaving sometime soon, if I remember correctly. I dunno, if you run into trouble, I can always try and help if it's needed. But you might already get where you want to go without my help."

A2 vote - Then let's talk with Hannah and Noriko about going to Valerie's. Maybe we could stop by and see Gina while we're there too... *hint hint*

With another few hours of practice, you manage to improve Storm Release a bit more. A total of three new techniques come as a result of the training, all mainly offensive in nature. As the girls had left long ago, you thank 21 for his time and make your way into the heart of the city again. On your way through the streets, you find Noriko and Hannah in a nearby shop, drinking tea together.
"Hey."
"Oh, hey. You look a bit tired, Joshua. Everything okay?" Hannah asks.
"Yeah. I was just doing a bit of training beforehand."
"That's good. Speaking of that, I should probably do some more training myself one of these days, a real practice session. It's been a while since I've had the time. Anyways, what's up?"
"Well, I met this guy, he's pretty cool. Calls himself 21. But everyone knows him as the "Tensei"."
"Ah, right. Anything special that he told you?"
"Some things for me to mull over, but I'll let you know about them when the time's right."
Hannah nods at that. "Fair enough."
"He also was offering an opportunity to go over to Sprite City in the next while. I figure we could see Valerie and the rest of the gang while we were there, if that was cool."
"Mm...you bring up some good ideas. I don't know when the Hokage's planning to leave, though. Might be tomorrow, might be the day after. However, if this 21 person can get us to Sprite City like that," she snaps her fingers for emphasis, "I don't see why we couldn't just go home on our own from there. It's not like we have a definite need to go along with them, but information's always good to gather."
"Any thoughts, Noriko?" you ask her.
"I believe the planning should be left in your hands, Joshua."
You nod in response. "Alright, then. I'll see you ladies later on. Tsunade said earlier I could crash at her place."
"Guess we'll see you in the morning. Sleep well, okay?"
"Always, Hannah. Night to you too, Noriko."
"Good night, Joshua."

Falling asleep, you find yourself in the strange white space again. It had appeared pretty much instantly and now reacted to your thoughts - if you wanted a cup of hot chocolate, it appeared in your hand, with marshmallows in a white mug.
You shrug and sip on the drink while taking time to go over your thoughts. At a certain point, you notice...
---
a) A knocking sound coming from somewhere.
b) Nothing, really. You're just here by yourself.
c) A strange door in the ground, maybe it led somewhere.
d) A bookshelf some distance away.
e) A rather large television with five coloured spheres on the screen.
---
Concerning the trip to Sprite City
1. Might be best to go, trying to make it back before the Hokage departed.
2. Might be best to go, planning to make your own way home again.
3. Might be best to stay, going with what the Hokage had planned for the trip to the Summit.
4. Maybe you should just go straight home instead.

Storm Release
Equalizer (supplementary) - Doubles the power of Storm Release techniques for a set period of time (2-3 turns).
Sawtooth (Black Album Remix)/Sawtooth v.2 (offensive) - Fast-moving beam of chakra from a distance that is intended to snipe targets by slicing through them like a saw, with rapid vibrations of elemental chakra. Requires steady hands and good control to pull off.
Gospel of Storms (offensive) - Similar to Laser Circus, but on a far larger scale. As many as 200 individual beams of light can be fired at once, if not more.

1st choice: A vote
Guesstimations: A - Person B - Alone C - Path D - Information E - Elemental Prowess?
-- 2nd choice: 2 vote - Let the Hokage know we are going in a different direction first.
I'd be happy if anyone had an opinion for this choice.

You hear a knocking noise coming from everywhere at once. Scratching your head, you reach forward and pull open a door out of thin air. Standing on the other side is Haruka, as you probably would have guessed. She smiles up at you, and you nod back as you beckon her inside, or whatever you called it, this somewhere and nowhere all at once.
"I'm glad that you're safe."
"Oh. Thank you," you reply. "How have you been?"
"I've been alright," she says softly.
"Have a seat, Haruka. Anything you want?"
"Maybe some tea...?"
You nod in response, creating a soft chair under her as she sat down, and placing a warm cup of tea into her hands.
"Thank you."
"It's no problem. So, you've come to see me again," you say while taking a seat yourself. "Interestingly enough, Noriko is with me on my journey."
"Nee-sama is with you...that's good to hear. Now, she won't have to protect me anymore."
"You mean from Akatsuki."
"Yes..." She gives you an intense look. "Now I'm free to do what I have to..."
"..." Sounded like she was planning something dangerous. "You're not planning on taking down that Pain fellow, are you?"
"If I have to die, then so be it."
"Sounds pretty grim."
"Life is that way..."
"Hm. Well, maybe it doesn't have to be that way. I think I can change things, if I try."
"Is that so..."
"Yeah." You crack a smile at that. "It is so."
"..."
She's silent for a while, seemingly thinking on what she should do. "If that's the case...then I'll wait. No, more than that, I'll become your ally and protect my nee-sama."
"Akatsuki will hunt you down, you know. But I figure that you knew that already."
"I do."
"Well..." You take a sip of your hot chocolate. "Guess I'll have to tear 'em apart before they can do you or Noriko any harm, then."
A warm smile comes from her after hearing that. "I trust you, Joshua. Thank you for everything you've done for me."
"Everything?"
"It's been so long, I guess that you've forgotten."
"I had an accident, and I lost part of my memory some time ago."
"That might be what it is..." She rises from her seat and bows towards you. "The next we meet, it will be at home. Although I worry about nee-sama."
"I might be able to keep her safe for a good while. Just gotta call in a favour or two first."
"I'm grateful to you for that...I hope everything goes well."
"Yeah...me too. Anyways, I guess I'll see you soon, Haruka."

Morning comes, and you're up and ready to go. Right, you were going to ask 21 to get you three to Sprite City soon. Anything left to clear up in Konoha, still?

"Let's rock, then."
You reach the girls at the appointed place, and 21 asks you all if you're ready. All three of you answer in the affirmative, and in a flash, you're whisked off to the sprawling city.
"Been a while," Hannah remarks. "Any ideas on where we should go first, Joshua?"
"Thinking about it," you say. You flex one arm, noting the power shift in your body. Felt like ages since you've been active, for some reason. Maybe it was something to talk about with Miss Val.
With her help in the matter, you effectively had a whole lot of time to get things done before you went back home. Your abilities were picking up speed as you trained with them.
"You okay, Josh?"
"Fine, Hannah. Just mental cobwebs. Feels great to be back in the city again, is all."
"Shall we proceed?" Noriko asks politely. You nod back.
"Yeah. Sorry for all the stalling."
"There is no need to apologize," she says with a soft smile. "It is advisable that you take your time."
"You're right... now, let's see what I've got to play with."
---
a) Destination 1. Moonlight Arms Boutique 2. Panettiere Bakery
b) Other 1. Training 2. Exploration 3. Information

Yushi, put this back in the active pile again, before someone talks in one of the other inactives and buries this again.

"We're going to Moonlight Arms. Sound good?"
"Fine with me," Hannah says.
"I have no objections," Noriko responds.
"Alright, then." The three of you head towards the familiar shop, and enter it normally enough. Valerie spots you all and is smothered by a hug from Hannah, which she returns in earnest. Noriko bows politely and has her greeting returned, a handshake added in at the end.
Valerie looks you over, sighing in relief before hugging you tightly...you can hear her sniffling softly as she holds you.
"Miss Val...?"
"I...thought I lost you..."
"You heard?"
"...I did. I didn't know what to think..."
"I'm okay. I'm better than ever, Miss Val. So don't you worry."
She releases you and places a hand gently on your cheek. "I can see it, just a little bit...I know that you've done what you could to bring yourself back up."
"I think I've more or less abandoned the old man's techniques since I couldn't do anything conventionally anymore."
She nods. "It makes sense. I've got no objections to what you're doing...I'm just so glad that you're safe. All of you..."
"I'm gonna do what I have to, Miss Val."
"I know...which is why I'll let you decide what you want to do next."
---
a) Re-orientation with Valerie (updates on events past and present, etc.)
b) Rest
c) Exploration
d) Training

Sorry for being a total jerk about this and Savage Life...just been off my game for a while now. I need to get back into the groove...
