Hey guys... sorry but this isn't the next chapter. You see, I´m having a slight problem with the story...

Now usually authors that ask their readers for help annoy me to no end (guess I shouldn't have thought so bad about them in the past) because I think authors should be able to write their own damn stories without asking for opinions or ideas every other chapter... and now I´m ranting...

Anyway the thing is that I've hit a fork in the road…

1. I can end the story in the next few chapters, which was my original idea for this story, and it would be a good story on the whole with just a few things left unfinished in my opinion. The plot I have to make the story longer would then probably be used for a sequel.

2. I can continue the story passed the "ending" point I had originally planned and by doing so I can finish a few things that would otherwise have been left off and give some characters a bigger role. But in doing so I would be putting in a rather big twist on the story.

So my question is: Should I end this story in a relatively normal way by revealing Naruto's deep dark secret or should I go passed that and take you all on a merry go ride in a totally new direction?

Please answer by taking the poll I have posted on my profile… or if you think that's too much of a hassle you can also just review with your opinion… even if that opinion is for me to get on with the bloody story already ^_^

Slight update.. Thanks to Mad Mardigan for bringing this to my attention. The plot twist I am talking about has nothing to do with the pairings. there will be no sasunaru in this story at all! nor any other Xnaru except Kakashi. When I said a few characters would have a bigger role I did not mean it in that way, just that a few of the extra characters would have a bigger role in the story and a few people who have been mentioned offhandedly (like workers at a certain tattoo parlor) would get more screen time.

I don't want to give away anything about the current or new plot so all I'll say is that the new plot has to do with things that are related to Naruto's past.
