Welcome to the third chapter of behind the scenes!

First of all, I'm proud to say that Embodiment of Desire has now reached 10 reviews and passed 5,000 views! Thanks for the input that was given from those who reviewed.

So this is the first chapter where the plot diverges from canon. I'm pretty sure that was kind of evident given the exposition dump which took a good portion of the chapter.


Now to answer some issues that were brought up in the last chapter. Some I have already answered to those that asked:

Female Naruto: I have been questioned as to whether this is a female Naruto question. To answer that, it is…kind of. While Naruto will spend a grand majority of his time as a female, the fact that he was a male (and in some ways, still is) will be an important plot point later on in the story.

Naruto being dead: I hope I explained how Naruto survived in chapter 3 of the story.


That's about it. I don't get that many reviews for the story, so there isn't much else for me to say. I did have some issues writing this story, especially since I have to write carefully at this point. I want to transition from this war into the war with Akatsuki, and that's going to be tough without completely ruining it.

I'm pretty sure that by this point, a lot of you have noticed that Sasuke is OOC. Yeah, I can already see at least one person flaming me in the comments about something like that, and Sasuke is too Naruto-like, blah, blah, blah. There is one thing that happened before that affects Sasuke's personality, but I needed him to be this way for a reason. Given that Naruto doesn't really care about much of anything at this point, I'll need someone to act as his/her anchor until later.

And yes, Black Rock Shooter is ridiculously powerful. You have been warned.
