Author has written 1 story for Naruto.

Who the fook are you?

I am Matt, living in the UK, doing a screenwriting course at University, and I am currently writing my very first fan-fiction story, let alone a Naruto one. Crikey.

So what makes you think you can write a half-decent Naruto-based story?

Well I've seen every single episode of Naruto from the very beginning right up to the current episode of Shippuuden (at the time of writing, Ep 305: "The Vengeful"). Yes, including the OVA's and those awful, ridiculous Curry of Life, "The Allied Mom Force" and ostrich-based filler episodes. Plus all the movies up to the first post-timeskip one. Even at its worst points I never wanted to stop watching the series, and I will keep watching til the damn thing finally ends. So yeah...maybe that's reason enough for you.

-Speaking of filler episodes, looks like Naruto is really scraping the bottom of the barrel right now. An annoying kid who either cries or shouts the same damn thing is taking centre-stage for three episodes? And they can control the weather? What, is this X-Men now? Bloody hell!

What got you interested in fan-fiction?

Probably the same way most people do. Firstly hearing about those hilariously bad romance short stories (the infamous Draco Malfoy one comes to mind), before stumbling across some genuinely engaging stories written with real intelligence and respect. TVTropes was my biggest helper there.

Uh huh, have you actually read some fan-fics?

Yes actually, if only a few. The brilliant "Team 8" by S'TarKan and "Time Braid" by ShaperV. Reading about the latter was in fact how I found the Missing Hokage challenge in the first place. I've read scraps of other fics but to avoid drawing unconscious elements from other stories I probably won't read many more. I'd prefer most of my writing to come from my own imagination.

Why Lionheart's "Missing Hokage" challenge?

Laziness mostly. Not sure a completely original story would be ideal for a debut story and this was the first challenge I stumbled across. Also I've read a couple of the previous responses to it and feel I can do somewhat better.

So you'll be following all the rules then?

Yes...mostly. Okay there's one rule in particular that doesn't make an awful lot of sense to me character-wise so I'm gonna 'adapt' it slightly. If you really want to know which one it is, go to Lionheart's profile page and it's the third rule from bottom. The only other rule I want to address leads nicely onto the next question...

What about pairings?

Right, I'm well aware this is the main reason most people read this stuff, and that one of the rules calls for NaruxHina and/or harem. Without spoiling too much, don't expect to find any kind of harem or immediate romances. I'm attempting something a wee bit more realistic here, and these characters are 12. 'Twelve'. Think about that for a second. That said, we'll see where the story goes.

Are you done yet? I'm bored.

Sheesh. Everyone's a critic eh? Go figure.

Mizuki never got to shoot his mouth off at Naruto the night he took the Scroll of Seals. Other than skipping a half-manic monologue from him what exactly did this change for everyone's favorite blonde ninja? Who knows? Rated M for language/later events.
