Part 22 out.

 

The beginning was fantastic and it's crazy how much I am rooting against Konoha in this story. Loving this so much.

 

I'm just waiting for the point where they find out she's the Mizukage. That's just going to be hilarious.

 

I didn't understand the snake part of the conversation:

Snakes generally abandon their young at hatching/birthing or some time after laying the clutch of eggs. Some snakes do eat their young if they're stillborn or unable to survive.

Snakes are born/hatched 100% snakey and ready to survive. They don't need nurturing or to be taught how to snake.

Is that what Sanbi is accusing Aiko of? I'm confused.

 

She's got a history of running away from problems, which is probably what he was alluding to.

 

Part 23 is out

Some crazy shit has happened, not sure how I feel about that yet.

 

i also enjoy canon going off the rails but i was slightly confused.

Spoiler

i dont remember this in vapors and my knowledge of the sequel is fuzzy at best. but why would minato remember aiko? as a person i mean, not just 'oh i was gonna name my daughter that if i ever had one'?

 

Go to chapter 76 of vapors

 

I liked it a lot. Definitely more enjoyable than the follow-up series

 

I have to say, I quite enjoyed that in this story. Her moving away from Konoha and all. Minato returning kinda puts a stop to that and I don't really like that. Furthermore, don't think she will get respect as the Mizukage with him around and Konoha will look at her like their inside woman / puppet. We'll see, I guess.

 

i completely forgot about that arc...

 

Spoiler

I'm not sure how much they'll be able to view her as a puppet given that she just summoned the Shinigami and forced Orochimaru to flee. I can't see her hiding her use of Hiraishin for much longer either.

Orochimaru stole her porn, lol.

 

God, I love this story more than it really deserves. Spam refreshes on that awful tumblr page routinely on like, a daily basis.

This chapter was a whole bunch of fun and dealt with the "big reveal" in such an awesomely Aiko way.

I was actually hoping Minato was going to be resurrected. AIC is pretty much driven entirely off seeing Aiko interact with people, and Minato is someone who I really enjoy seeing her interact with - which we only got to see in the brief time travel arc (which remains one of my favourite arcs in Vapors). As Nemrut said though, I hope it doesn't detract from her being the Mizukage.

Really like how, despite the fact she can do some absolutely bullshit, overpowered stuff, she's really faking half of how strong she is in a fight.

 

Part 24 of AIC has been posted.

 

Whenever I read AIC, I have this "fuck Konoha" mood, where I just want Aiko to roll right over them, the bastards.

Seriously though, nice chapter over all. Her friendship with her fellow jinchuruki is really enjoyable, as is her dynamics with her genin team. And I even find myself really invested in the nationbuilding of Kirigakure.

 

I didn't know she was writing this. That tumblr is killing me.
In any case, poor Minato is feeling very shitty right about now. I still can't believe most of the people in that meeting did not realize their relationship. The Sandaime also knows I think, but yeah, look at all these super observant ninja fumbling.

I really enjoy the Mizu parts of the story, interested to see how she handles Mei. She wasn't very happy with the situation, but I don't see how she can effectively dislodge Aiko after her little appearance after the attack.

 

I got the feeling that Jiraiya knew and was intentionally dancing around the issue because he was a bit miffed as to not being told about Aiko.

I'd be pretty disappointed if it was only Genma that worked it out.

 

FWIW, for me on chrome using the stylish addon these styles make her tumblr header not be so infuriating. The background is still annoying though.

Code:

.tmblr-iframe--desktop-logged-in-controls {
    position: absolute !important;
}

#headerfixed {
    position: absolute !important;
}

 

Chapter 25? Given the title, I'm not sure whether the author even knows whether this is actually a proper chapter or not. Not a whole lot happens.
