A/N: This story will be undergoing another maintenance. I'm going to re-read it from beginning to now and attempt to get it back on track for what I originally planned the story to be. Some things may be taken out; one thing for SURE is how I handled Kushina. That had been done because I had an image in my mind that I liked at the time, but have since realized it didn't actually fit into the story naturally. So all who disagreed with it, rejoice.

The thing about Minato specifically will not change however; I just don't feel like a parent is going to condemn their newborn son to a life of loneliness and danger even if it is to save the village. Or at least, I wouldn't. So if you're unhappy with that plot point I really don't know what to tell you.

But yeah, I'm going to hopefully have this done within the next ten days or so, and THEN I'll work on the next real chapter.

So, that's the game plan for Demon Of The Hidden Leaf. Sorry this isn't a 'real' chapter, but it was pointed out that this would be the best way to relay this sort of message to you all, and I agree.

So...I guess that's it. Ending these is always strange, but I guess I'll see everyone later.
