Update (11/19/2014):

To everyone who has been worried as to where I have been over the past months, I apologize for my absence. I really don't have any excuse as to why I ceased writing other than I had little to no desire to continue the current stories. One thing that led me to stop writing is that I felt some of my writings were heading towards a dead-end. As I was writing, it was beginning to feel like everything was becoming more predictable as to what was going to happen. Perhaps I made Naruto too strong too quick, or perhaps I need to figure out a way to challenge him even more. In all honesty, I feel as if my stories are lacking something. I hate to do it, but I do not see myself continuing any of my current stories at the time being, although I am wanting to start writing again.

What does this mean? I am considering starting a new story, hoping this one would improve where the others I felt lacked.

When can you expect this? If I do decide to get back into writing, I likely won't begin the story until sometime early next year (as I like to post the first few chapters at once to get the story started)

Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. Sorry for the inconvenience of my absence, and I am looking forward to the following months to see what I can put together.

Name: Jbriz (don't feel like giving my real name)

Age: 23

Sex: Male

Location: Somewhere in the U.S.

Favourite Animes/Manga: Naruto, Bleach, DragonBall

Naruto Fanfiction

Favourite Pairings: Naru/Hina, Sasu/Saku, Kono/Hana, Naru/Fuu

My favorite pairing are above, but I don't have anything against any other pairings, except maybe SasuHina (I just can't see them together for some reason, except maybe in RTN), Neji/Hina (No incest please), and anything yaoi (Nothing against gays, but I can't stand yaoi).

I'm more about the story and if you give me a good story, most likely I'll read it regardless of the pairing. This can kind of be seen as I have both a Naru/Hina story and a Naru/Saku story going. If I was strictly a NaruHina fan, the later one wouldn't even exist.

Favourite characters: Jiraiya, Naruto, Hinata, Itachi, Minato, and Tobi (the funny Tobi before he becomes 'Madara'/Obito). (also have to give a shout out for Kosuke Maruboshi, the eternal genin. The dude's an f-ing bad-ass!)

My Stories

The Uzumaki Tales: Return of the Whirlpool (Status: Ongoing):

My main story and own take on Nauto's story. Naruto meets the Kyuubi in the Land of Wave and the two come to an agreement and understanding after the Kyuubi explains the reason behind attacking Konoha. Follows cannon with some derivations up until Tsunade becomes Hokage and then goes in it's own direction. Also takes a look at how Sasuke would develop if he was saved from getting the Cursed Seal.

Pairings: Naru/Hina (about half-way through Book 1); Near the end of Book 1: Sasu/Saku, Neji/Ten, Shika/Tema, Shino/Fu

Rating: M (Book 1 may be able to pass as T, but later parts won't)

Update Schedule: Try to get updates out on a weekly basis, but may change due to my personal life.

Link to appendix for the Uzumaki Tales: (Please note, this is nowhere near complete and is still an on-going process. I figured I'd post it though any ways although I will most certainly be adding things and editing things as the story progresses.)

Rewriting the Past (Status: Ongoing):

A time-travel fanfic that starts from around ch612 in the manga (using the anime as a back-story) where the Shinobi Alliance arrives to confront the Jyubi. However, the Jyubi's power is greatly underestimated and most of the alliance is wiped out within minutes, leaving just Naruto and a few lucky survivors. As a result, the Kyuubi uses a jutsu that sends himself and Naruto back to the very moment Naruto was born in an attempt to stop everything from hapenning. The Kyuubi attack on Konoha is prevented, but that doesn't stop all the other dangers.

Pairings: Mina/Kushi, Naru/Hina (later), others undecided

Rating: T (for now anyways)

Update schedule: Will try to do every two weeks, but most likely a monthly update schedule.

A Sealed Memory (Status: Ongoing/just started):

My NaruSaku story that begins just after the Valley of the End with Naruto nearly dying. Naruto being returned to the hospital in a near death state shocks Sakura to the very core, causing a seal that her own parents had placed on her to break, sending the girl into a coma. It is revealed by Inoichi that the seal was used to seal away Sakura's memories of a childhood friendship and crush with Naruto and make her the Sasuke-worshipping fan girl we all know and hate. What will happen now that the seal is removed? Well, watch as Sakura and Naruto resume what turns into much more than just a childhood friendship.

Pairings: Naru/Saku (main), Ino/(either Chouji or Sai), Kiba/Hina, Neji/Ten, Shika/Tema, others as follows

Raiting: M for violence, language, and eventual lemons as the characters get a bit older

Other Ideas

If I get any ideas for a story, but feel I can't or don't want to get them started, I'll post them here. If you're an author and want to try and use these ideas for a story, just contact me and I'll be fine with giving you the idea.
