Hey guys, Rain here and I'm here to talk. After working on this fic for long time, I decided that I'm going to put Forged in Hellfire: Lost Soul Reborn on Hiatus. Don't get me wrong, I didn't run out of ideas or lose where I want to take the story because I didn't.

The problem is lately, I just haven't been happy working on it. I love this fic, it's my baby but I just don't have the passion for it. It's been like that since December actually. I've been trucking along lately which is why it probably seems like different writing wise.

It doesn't help that lately, I've noticed that there have been less reviews and the ones I do get, they tend to be on the negative side. I hate having to stop writing this but I never for giving you guys a passionless story.

Believe me, my plans for the Chunin exams which would have been in two chapters was going to be balls to the walls insane! Tenten, Naruto and Gaara were going to be the center characters for the arc. You all would have loved it and you will when the passion comes back to me. So for now, I'm going to stop working on this fic and focus on some of my smaller ones.

Hopefully when I come back to it, you guys will still want to read the ideas for it. I do also want to take the time to thank the readers that have stuck with me since the start of this fic and in many of the others. I really appreciate it!

I'll come back to this fic hopefully soon. I promise!
