Rising Sun

by FuMaouChu

The world is different, but events are much the same. Or they would have been, if a bandaged man (who is decidedly not a hero) hadn't interrupted Obito's attempt to extract the Kyuubi from Kushina Uzumaki. Naruto begins his climb to the top of the world from the deepest pits of hell, and only time will tell if he will see the sunrise, or if the coming dusk will smother his flame.

1. Rising Sun Announcements

Greetings my cute and wonderful little readers! Maou here, and I have a few announcements for you all!

1) Given recent events in the Manga !SPOILERS! Such as Lady Kaguya and Black Zetsu shenanigans !END SPOILERS! myself and my beta have decided that we're going to be restructuring our plot, and rewriting our posted chapters, and even adding a couple new ones. Hindsight is 20/20 after all, and we've decided that we can do better than we did. The old chapters are coming down until they're rewritten, and I'll be taking this announcement down when we begin the Mission to Wave Arc, and that'll be just delicious.

2)In addition to rewriting chapters in Rising Sun, we will also be posting up one-shots, and small story arcs, related to the main fic. We're doing this because while Naruto and Team Seven are important, integral parts of the world, there's SO MUCH MORE going on, and sometimes, we just feel the need to share. These one-shots and arcs will be posted under a new fic, called "Rising Sun: B-Sides" and the B-Sides will detail adventures of the other Rookies from Konoha, the various Jonin doing things, and eventually, some OCs doing stuff. Now, the B-Sides are not, and will never be required reading for Rising Sun to make sense, but if you do read them, then you'll have a better understanding of the world that we've created. Truly, we only hope that you enjoy reading about this world and its intricacies, as much as we enjoy creating it.

3) *Sigh* Item three. Now, for those of you aware of my intentions with this story, either because you took a look at my bio or actually looked at the ANs at the end the chapters, know that I want to make this fic a somewhat interactive one, by way of a forum-based Naruto RP. You would be able to make characters, do things, and depending on what you do...even influence the course of the fic itself. Now, we had hoped to get the RP site up and running before we got to the Wave Arc, and the rewrite has given us more time to do so. But there's SO MUCH TO BE DONE that its a little maddening. So, if anyone has any experience with a Forum RP, and would like to help turn this mad little idea into reality, send me a PM yes, and let's make this happen!

Announcements done, message delivered, time for me to get back to work. Maou, AWAAAAAAAY
