Well, that's over 7k words done and oh my god I like this new chapter so much more than the old one.

It's just amazing what a good break from a story can do for my motivation.  It's like night and day.

SV quest update coming soon, probably tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience and I'm grateful for your support for another month.  I'll see if I can't go ahead and get the favoritism votes out tonight.

Industrious Chapters 39&40 (Rebuild):

Chapter 39: "-so I'm just asking if you could pretty please not tell anyone?" Naruko whined, her fingers interlaced beneath her chin. "The Hokage and Satsuki's brother are already investigating in the real world," I stated bluntly. "That means there will be formal questioning, evidence examin...

So, I need an explanation here... Where did Madara came from? Hopefully it'll be explained in 41. Really make me curious.

Reading between the lines, there's a strong implication that it's Satsuki's previous incarnation rising up from the depths of her subconscious due to very specific circumstances.

I honestly would have expected it to be INDRA rather than Madara. After all, both she and Madara are incarnations of Indra, rather than her being an incarnation of Madara who was an incarnation of who knows who and so on all the way to Indra. Besides, Indra was the first one that Zetsu convinced of the Moon Eye Plan, which is how the Naka Shrine Tablet got edited.

I run things like this on the strength of the personality of the incarnation. As impressive as Indra was, the whole of the Elemental Nations united to fight Madara when he came back just at the mere mention of his resurrection.

Why make it so convoluted like Strength of Personality? Why not just play it like Avatar State in Aang? As in, technically Indra could get out, but Madara is much 'nearer' metaphysically since it's Indra's most recent incarnation. Thus, when there's a chance, of course Madara will come out first. This way, the rule will be internally consistent, not depending on the outside reaction. Add: This way, you could argue that while Indra's soul has more Ontological Weight, Madara's soul is much closer metaphysically to the surface. Just like the fact that the Sun is the brightest Celestial Object on Earth, even though it's but a Medium Star, much brighter than even the largest of Super Giant Star in the universe. For the simple reason that it's the closest Star to our planet.

You could even play this 'rule' when MC, for whatsoever reason wants to talk with Indra. In which he had to contain and accommodate all the other incarnations before accessing Indra. Thus, making it even harder and add another layer on the metaphysical scale of the soul. After all, since Naruto (the Series) already played fast and loose with Samsara Cycle through Rinnegan and the Brothers, why not flesh out the mechanic of soul itself?

Slayer Anderson

I’ll take that under consideration. It does make the justification seem simpler.

Wonder how Itachi would react to the fact that is Little Sister is the Reincarnation of their Progenitor (of the Clan) or even worse that the Shade of Madara is sleeping inside his sister and if the worst happens can try to take over. Maybe it causes them to go to that One Fire Monk that Achieved Enlightenment for Advice since now that Madara was awoken that's might cause problems God that mission report is going to cause Hiruzen and the Boys to Drink so much Or how our MC will explain to the Girls who that Was and how Satsuki will respond to being overridden by her previous Life.

I’m very happy but how the fuck did madra get there? We’re you messing with dimensional travel?

Slayer Anderson

Remember that Satsuki is his reincarnation and they were basically fighting in a genjutsu based on her conscious and subconscious desires fueled by dark chakra. So... someone woke up.
