Just a quick AN, not to worry though it is good news (I hope!)

I'm not abandoning this story by any means, in fact I'm picking it back up after finals here are over (next friday! wish me luck!) and I wanted to apologize deeply for the long as all heck wait... it was cruel of me :( but before I started again, I wanted to know if any of you guys would be willing to give some quick feedback...?

I've recently reread through my story so far as well as most of my notes and I've been pulled to the attention of some things. 1) the story seems to be moving very slow. This particular feature of the story isn't something that will change nor do I wat it to truly change, seeing as I love slow builds and characterization, and I wanted to assure you guys we'd be getting to non-canon things soon. However before that, I wanted your feedback as to whether you wanted an insight into their training for a chapter or if you'd rather me "breeze" by that part and go to the next thing (Mission?! Chuunin exams?! M!Naruto?! Kyuubi?!). One or two main things has to happen in the next chapter by my current thought process, but the answer to this will decide the rest of the content.

2) Like I said, I've recently reread my chapters and there was a scene or two where I began to think that possibly all the visions (when I described them in full, specifically the scene with kids in wave) got a little... cumbersome feeling? I mainly wanted to ask you guys your thoughts on the matter if you reread or remember or whatever. Also, are the visions and the effects too much? Should I pull back on them and close them off or do you want more of them? Again, these particular questions will be affecting the next few chapters of the story that I'll be writing.

3) Are my descriptions and inner thoughts with Naruto too much, as in do they take up too much of the narrative or are you guys in favor of that particular style? I keep rereading to find places to maybe lessen it or change details and the like, but it's hard without feedback, so I'd be grateful for it.

4) I get a lot of reviews about being confused, not knowing what's going on, and while that is completely what I want and am going for I also want to be sure it isn't TOO much confusion where things are lost upon you guys... so just reassurance or the like where critisism will be looked upon thoughfully?

Again. Thank you all, you mean a lot to me and I apologize sincerely for my absence and your abandonment. I WILL be back and I WILL be writing I promise. and again I'm sorry, I hope you all will forgive me (especially if you thought this was a chapter and were happy).

This AN will be taken down in 3 or so days, maybe 5 max, but I thank you for all the future thoughtful replies if you deem me still worthy and like the story *bows*

P.S. Also thinking about a pseudo-beta for this story...? I'm not sure how much editing I'd like, but I'd like someone to bounce chapters off of for the above reasons and to maybe even push me towards writing if I'm being lazy (because I assure you, I am lazy)
