change of behavior will be explained in the following chapters, slowly, but I must mention that I will not make too much of a drastic change. She will still retain some of her vices, like drinking and gambling, only, they will be exercised with a lot of moderation.

P.S. 2.As for Koharu and Homura being so upset, you must remember that they too are the students of the Nidaime Hokage, so they feel angry at the fact that they were not informed of their teacher having a descendant. Quite an expected reaction by them, after all, as students of the 2nd, they feel some sort of kinship with their teacher and therefore, they do have some right to know what has happened to his family, and are therefore naturally upset at being excluded out of this. Besides as elders of the village they are privy to most secrets, but being excluded from something of this nature would naturally infuriate them and damage their egos regardless of their feelings on the matter.

P.S. 3.As for the Senju Hijutsu, Tsunade has trained Raiha in some of the techniques of the Senju clan, and he will be using them. Much more techniques are to come in the near future.

P.S. 4.Jiraiya's stating that he will surpass Sakumo in three years, is rather correct. Despite his tragic end, Hatake Sakumo is a man on par with the Sannin and Salamander Hanzo and other such luminaries, and Raiha will be reaching his level sooner than what Jiraiya has predicted.

P.S. 5. His personal commitments, as mentioned, will be responsible for his rise in power and abilities. From the next chapter on, a detailed explanation of his plans for the immediate future will be revealed, and in his next chapter, the summons he intends to gain will be revealed. Try to make a guess, if you can.
