Hello my lovelies!
Edit: Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've made my decision.
I've retconned things. I've gone back in each chapter and changed it so that Naruto stays a boy and Midnight stays a girl, and everyone will still considers Naruto a boy. He is just going to be very feminine and pretty. He won't even necessarily be submissive after he rescues Midnight. He'll have a lot of room to grow personality wise, especially as he continues into puberty.
I think of Naruto as growing into a more sensual version of Haku. Haku was pretty androgenous-looking when out doing ninja stuff but Haku actively crossdressed as casual wear. I imagine he crossdressed around Zabuka as well. I'll do something like that with Naruto.
So Kurenai is still going to treat Naruto like a girl essentially by dressing him up in girl clothes and calling him "chan," but she'll aknowledge him as a boy and refer to him that way in public. Plus "Chan" isn't just used to refer to girls. It's an honorific than can just mean someone dear. Midnight is going to join in on the fun too. She likes Naruto being all feminine. She's a bit of a perv as you guys have probably already noticed.
So that's my middle ground. Something I know I'm giong to enjoy writing which is more in line with the original idea of the fic while also being more easy to digest than a mid-story gender change. So no gender change. Midnight is staying a girl, Naruto is staying a boy. But Naruto is still going to be pretty and feminine and even crossdress.
Oh, I'll probably put a very descriptive synopsis in the beginning of the story to warn people that Naruto is pretty much a completely different person in my story. And so is Kyuubi. I think that would help a lot. Make sure people know exactly what they are getting when they read the fic.
It's funny, this is actually my second revision of this story. First was me retconning things so the story wouldn't be M rated, now another revision. I should write a book~
Anyways, enjoy! And make sure to go back to old chapters and reread them. I made a lot of edits. I think the changes start right after Midnight gets taken prisoner. You'll notice that I actually deleted 2 chapters. There were the chapters that focused on Kurenai. I think chapter 27 and 28. Those chapters were mostly about Kurenai buying Naruto new clothes. Since he's staying a boy those chapters aren't really needed right now. I'll bring her back into the story eventually but I think this works better. I'm working on Sundays chapter. I'll post this chapter early so you guys have time to catch up with all the changes before Sunday's chapter. Let me know how you like all the changes!
