Hello all my fans that I have terribly, horrendously mistreated. I am ashamed for neglecting such tremendous fans as you guys. You gave me so much support. I am sorry but some things have happened to me over the past few years that have put me for a spin. I've lost some close people to me and have become disillusioned with a lot of things.

There is one bit of good news. I've been trying to work on an original novel. My own creation that has many inspirations from my past, one of which is obviously Naruto.

In the end I cannot keep updating this story. I am on the verge of graduating from university and I am looking for a job which has been a hassle in this economy. That, along with working on my first novel just destroys so many hours in my day. I just owe it to you to let you know that I am honestly, sincerely grateful to you all.

Boss Bogg, what you said was right and I feel terrible about it. I never wanted to shit on my fans, ever. But I neglected a lot of people because I was feeling low about many things.

Kingkakashi, Suave Jiraiya... you guys, among my other readers, have been two of the most supportive people I've never had the pleasure of meeting. If there's anyone I owe apology and thanks to, it's you two. My only regret is that I never got to know the people behind the screens.

To all of you, thank you. If I ever finish my novel, you'll be a foundation for whatever universe the characters end up existing in, and for whatever joy, if any, it brings to those reading it. Godspeed to all of you.
