This is the second Revision of my 2007 fanfiction titled Face Paint - A Kankuro Love Story. I have decided to revise it to better suit my writing style in 2015, especially since in 2010 I was still unused to writing, particularly things that were attempts to be in character for canon creations. There will be name changes and certain alterations to the story as I have matured, and with the apparent loss of my co-writer s segments I will not have the full story, not that they finished their version either.

As such, some characters will be removed, the plot will be different and instead of Shokidenai Hanna having such a ridiculously made up name, her name will now be Yukari Yuu. Sasumi s full name will now be Sasumi Jin and it is debatable as to if I will have as much forward movement in the relationship between characters as I had before. Kankuro will not be an immediate pervert, I will attempt to re-create Gaara s canon personality, rather than the one written. Finally, I will remove the original back story and create something less cliche and more original than the typical destroyed village and clan, only survivor back story.
