First, I want to say thank you to myself coz I finished this story LOL! It was hard for me coz I never write anything like this before. Not only for time-travel theme, but also 3 pairs (my OTPs, of course) in one long MC. I'm out of my comfort zone for this story. Usually I wrote plotless romance fluff for single pair. Not to mention, for some people this story maybe not be categorized as heavy plot but it is for me. I put a lot of thought when I made the draft so I'm over the moon to know people read it, support it and love it.

Second, thank you for all my reviewers and my beta reader. From the bottom of my heart, I'm grateful. Your reviews helped me a lot to keep writing and finished this story. For those who write ff too, you know how the review means a lot to us. To spare your precious time then left me a review... I can't say it enough but thank you. Your reviews means a lot to me. Mi-chan, despite we have problems with our emails, I really appreciate you helped to correct my grammars. Dakara, Hontouni arigatou gozaimasu...

I get the basic idea for time-travel after I watched Avengers: Endgame last year =)) Hands up for those who watched that movie! XD Like I did mention to my reviewers, I want to read this kind of ff but when I searched I couldn't find it so...I thought to myself, why don't I write one? One time-travel ff in Avengers fandom inspired me a lot to write this story. It's called "Man Out Of Time" by samptra (Stony pair). It's beautifully written and I wish I write one, hence this story began.

I was inspired by Harry Potter fandom to created this story. Mostly from Drarry fanfics. I don't mean to judge but if you read Harry Potter fandom you would see yourself how creative the stories inside. It's blow my mind how they played(?) with the canon setting, such as the potions, the spells, the magical myths etc. Mostly, I found them created their own for those things but still make sense and related to canon! It's so amazing! Therefore, I made this story. I created a jutsu, played(?) with canon settings and dare I say I'm doing a good job? Well, actually 'm not so sure but your comments/reviews stated otherwise so... fuck yeah, I'M GOOD!

The title... man... I was desperate when I choose this title. At first, I wanted to name this story after the song which inspired me, like I said in the first chap's author's note. The song called "Perfect Mistake", ost from J-Drama "Perfect World". Yes, SasuNaru brought back in time because it was accident and still fit if I used "Perfect Mistake" as the title but 'mistake' sounds bad luck, don't you think? Since this story about time travel so I change 'mistake' to 'time' LOL.

True, I admitted the first time I started it, I want this story to be SasuNaru-centric but as the time passed and story developed... it can't be done because HashiMada and TobiIzu affected the plot so I changed the content to be equally divided between 3 pair. The part about Menma went back to the past and there are 2 parallel future, I was inspired by Dragon Ball Z, the part of Trunks changed the past although his future won't be affected.

I made Itachi to be the Godaime Hokage in Menma's future coz he is special to me. I saw in internet that Itachi want to be Hokage based on his Shinden novel but never tell a soul so I want to give it to him in my story. HE DESERVED IT. I'm troubled to choose who should I paired him with? I'm not against canon straight pair yet I don't want to pair him with Izumi. I so fucking jealous of her so nope. I dunno which one to choose. Deidara, Shisui, or Kisame? Canon-wise, Shisui is the closest to Itachi and Kisame worshipped Itachi in canon but Deidara is blond LOL It will be Uchiha brothers have their own blond lovers if I made ItaDei =)) In canon Shisui only 3-4 years older than Itachi but in Menma's history, Shisui is 6 years older than him.

Please take note, I don't watch/read Boruto, it seems Rinnegan appear so often in there but I use rinnegan ability here based on manga and anime Naruto which as far as I know, it mostly related to create life, revive the dead, etc. Personally, I don't think Masashi Kishimoto create two jutsu with the exact same abilities. I may enhanced Izanagi a bit but imo, Izanagi is powerful hence the user can only use it once like rinne tensei cost the user's life. In here, Hagoromo didn't showed up in front of edo-tensei Hokages.

Idk about you guys but for me, it's rare to find a SasuNaru or HashiMada fic which AT LEAST mentioned that they are reincarnations of Hagoromo's sons or explored the reincarnation bond. If you find one, feel free to let me know. I want to read it. I know I adjusted some (well, a lot) of canon facts to suit my story but have you noticed? If not, then it's fine LOL

You may have guessed it but I created Hiko based off Obito. Well, he isn't a cheerful type like kid!Obito or Naruto but rather a serious kid after Hashirama's death. I made him an untalented Uchiha because duh, his fathers are too powerful! It's boring if he can use mokuton and rinnegan all together like Edo-Madara. It's too gary sue for OC, no? However, I do believe if Hiko has siblings, one of them will be this powerful like Edo-Madara. Yes, one of HashiMada child will be powerful but not Hiko.

Funny thing, does any of you notice that I make each pairs proposing their lovers in bed rooms? XD I swear, it was not my intention! I didn't planned it to happened like that! I just went with the flow of my story but... if I think about it, it's kinda funny. You know, great and talented shinobis like Hashirama, Tobirama and Sasuke proposed their spouses in bedrooms. Not to mention in my other SasuNaru fic (oneshoot "Your Birthday Present"), I made the a confesion scene in bedroom as well! LOL Idk, idk, it's my thing or something but yeah, I spent most of my time in bedroom so maybe that's why. However, in my defense, if you think about it, there are high probability for Tobirama and Sasuke to do that in bedrooms. Both are not fond of PDA and romantically awkward, imo. Yes, it's definitely OOC of Hashirama to not do it in public LOL Madara maybe prefer it in private but Hashirama definitely would do something such as love declaration like that in public, imho LOL

Tbh, there are fluff scenes that I want to put inside the story but those scenes are not highly related or affects the plot. It's like filler episode you could say. I was afraid you'll get bored coz it has no point so I never put them. It would make this story longer and I don't think I can keep it up. Even now I want to end this story as soon as possible coz I have another story I want to write. I can't write 2 MC stories at the same time coz I will lose interest faster.

My Indonesian reader often asked me to make Naruto meet his grandparents but unfortunately I have to turned it down because it didn't have connection with my plot. You see all of it heavily gravitated on Uchiha's family. I admit it will be interesting to make it but I'm going to honest I'm not good with OCs. Yes, in here some of OCs are affecting my plot. They were needed yet barely have a scene of their own LOL and most of them are Uchihas, if you noticed.

Also, I do have a plan to make a sequel but I don't think I can with my pregnancy at the moment. It will be hard to dedicated my time to write another WIP. I also have ideas for drarry, sessinu, Indra-Asura and Itachi but all of them will be draft for now until I have time to write again. Usually, I won't have any time to write for 6-12 month after give birth. A newborn baby is a handful, I tell you.

All in all, thank you so much for your supports! I'm on cloud nine throughout the past year I'm writing this story! I dunno when I can publish new story so I bid you good bye for now! I hope all of you are stay healthy in this pandemi crisis!
