A MESSAGE TO THE READERS!!!!

Hey, this is Kazukagi, the author of Hinata's Confidence. This is not a new chapter, this is an important message to the readers.

Lately, I've been getting reviews stating that they would have liked it better if I had kept the original names and appearances of Naruto's parents. My reason for not adapting the latest two chapters to that was because I had already stated Yondaime's name (Arashi) in Chapter 7, and Naruto's mother's appearance in the locket picture in the flashback. As a result, I strayed from the cannon.

As such, I'd like to put this to vote before I write the next chapter. Do you want me to go back and fix it so that the parents stick to the Cannon, or just leave it as is? Do note that voting for me to go back and fix will not effect the waiting time for the next chapter.

Please send a PM with ONE of the following to messages.

Please put ONLY THE WORD "Yes" In a PM if you want me to go back and change.

Please put ONLY THE WORD "No" In a PM if you DON'T want me to go back and change

That ends my urgent message, however don't leave me yet. Since I've been getting some reviews that differ from the usual "Update" or "I like it," or "I didn't like it" I'm going to answer some of the comments I deem worthy of an answer. enjoy

First off, let me apologize for the message I put at the end of chapter nine. Please belive me that I'm normally very tolerant of other people's beliefes. Being a left wing Atheist, I've taken a lot of flack for my beliefs. However, I was in a very...estatic, mood that Yondaime had been announced by Masashi himself as Naruto's father. I got a bit carried away. I apologize if I offended anybody.

Now, Time for review responses!

Jeppe7: You've sent me a fair share of nice reviews, so let me answer as best as I can. First off, glad you like it. May I ask if you can elaborate on what I did to fast/early? I'd like to know so as to avoid my mistakes in future fictions. Second, this takes place in AU, think of it as post timeskip however. Think of it as if Naruto had come back, but focused on his training and gone off on various missions, instead of chasing after Sasuke. Also, you commented on Hiashi's ignorance of Naruto being the Kyubi container. This was intentional, trust me. You'll see why in chapter 10. For now, just roll with it. Also, in regards to the chapter 5 comment, remember that chapter 5 was out before that manga chapter, so I assumed hair color. For chapter seven, what two lines? The last two lines of the story, or of my endnotes? And finally...bleach? Never heard of an anime like that. I DID read an awesome manga called bleach, but no anime...ok seriously, to my defense, It was about three in the morning when I wrote that and I wasn't thinking straight enough to come up with an original name. Wow, this was long, thanks for the comments!

Ryu Juini: So...you're one of THEM. Those who still don't believe...no...must be...tolerant of...different...beliefs! Any way, I know I make way to many mistakes, but please bear with me, I do the best I can. I have a beta now as well, and he helps me out too.

shikamaru1710: You've given me the greatest praise I can get. Take a look at my first ever Naruto fic, and you'll see that I did just that. I'm glad to see that it actually seems like I'm developing a relationship.

Lunarangel's Dark Flame: For all intents and purposes in this story, Kyubi is a boy. It's also been stated in the manga (don't ask me where, I don't know exactly) That the Kyubi's a boy.

packardball: Um...what? Sorry, but I couldn't understand half of your review, and I'm fluent in 1337. Whatever...

Kagome365: Your review for chapter seven gains my coveted "Most Original Review" award, and my even MORE coveted "Most lulzy Review" award. You win.

That's about it...I'll have chapter 10 up in a week or two, see you then!
