Hey, guys!

Umm…Okay, let's just get this over with. Well, as you can see, I have been very busy lately, mostly with school work and stuff. This school year has been very challenging yet, somewhat fun. But, as I had mentioned, school work has been keeping me from making new chapters. Not only because of the fact that it's taking my time but it's also causing me to have a writer's block, especially to this particular fic.

I know that you're angry and annoyed because I have not been updating this fanfiction. I understand because I, myself, experience those kinds of feelings, since I' am also very addicted to fanfictions. And now, I also know that you're going to be even more pissed when I say that I might discontinue this fic.

Okay, okay! Let's calm down here for a sec. You're probably screaming at me (or your screen) by now. Telling me to kill myself for creating the worst cliffhanger ever! But, I just really wanted to be honest with you guys.

Truthfully, I've lost interest in this fanfiction. And I don't know why I would lose that kind of drive to finish this story. Honestly, I don't. I was so enthusiastic about updating each and every one of my fanfictions. Until now, I do! I love this story because it was my first official fanfiction. But somehow, I had lost the will to continue this story.

I'm going to disappoint A LOT of people by doing this. At the same time, I'm disappointing myself! I have done at least 11 chapters of this fanfiction and then I just decided to throw it all away! It's bad! And it's such a waste, I know!

By now, you might already be considering of hitting that return or exit button but! Hold on a minute there! Don't press that button yet! I know I said I was going to discontinue this fic but there is more! I' am going to discontinue this fanfiction…And possibly rewrite it as a better story! Yes, I' am planning to rewrite this story because I'm not really giving up on it! I'm going to rebuild this story from scratch and hopefully make a better one!

So, basically, same issue with Naruto being betrayed and banished but hopefully with a better plot. This way, I could plan for the basic story structure and not get anything mixed up. And also, get that old drive that I had when I started out writing these stories.

Hopefully, you will understand and support me on this idea. And I wish I could get more time for this so, I can make it up to you guys. I have honestly been feeling very guilty since I haven't given you an exciting update. Again, I'm sorry for not keeping my promise; I'm as angry as you are at myself. I had promised that I would continue every story I had but unfortunately, I couldn't keep my own promise. Naruto would surely be ashamed and disappointed at me TAT

Anyway, I apologize for the let down. And I really hope that I'll see you guys on my next story. Later!
