Greetings,

This is not a true chapter in and any sense. I am writing this to explain a few things that have come up in reviews of this story.

First off this story will eventually have a god-like naruto, but that will not be for a while. Everyone must remember that naruto, aka lucifer, is fighting GOD, a being who defeated him once before. Spoiler alert! Naruto will also be meeting and fighting other deities of antiquity.

Another point is that there will be strategy in this story. Naruto is investing in businesses, granted the investments are small as of now, and this will lead him to possess more money to fund his army.

The fact that naruto is building an army is another point. I could easily make this a story where naruto is God-like from the beginning and have him own everyone in every battle he gets into, but I am not. He has limits, hell in the last chapter he was sleeping to recover his power.

For a plot, well I am using two classics, The Battle of Good and Evil, and a concept I call The World of Greys.

The Battle of Good and Evil should be familiar; a perceived good fights a perceived evil and usually the good triumphs. In this story I am putting a forward the argument that good does not always win. Ok maybe in fairytales and movies, but in reality this is not always the case. In my story the perceived good will ultimately be humanity and the perceived evil will be everyone who is trying to control them.

The second concept, The World of Greys is more interesting in my opinion. It shows you that not everything is black and white. One person's good is another's evil. An example of this could be God's thoughts that Michael is expendable if he fails. Most would see this as evil, but to God it is necessary to hold onto his kingdom.

Something else that has come up was the impalement of the dragon technique that kyubi used on the angel in his fight. As I said this comes from Vlad the Third aka Vlad the Impaler aka Vlad Dracula.

Dracula has been translated as Son of the Dragon, and some legends state that Vlad was so evil that Hell itself spit him out. So I thought it would fit. One review commented that it was like kyubi raped the angel. He didn't really, that was just one way the impalement was done.

One thing people seemed to miss was a little irony I put into the story. This occurred when naruto made the snake-like orochimaru a Sin. He made a red orb of knowledge that orochimaru had to eat that crunched kind of like a fruit. Any guesses? No? How about the story of Adam and Eve, where a snake tempted eve to eat an apple? What color are apples most of the time?

And why would this be ironic? Well this time the snake was on the other end of the tempting.

I guess that is all I have to say.

Now, please, this is my first story. Please give me tips and suggestions.
