Hi, this is me, Ronin, or Alex, whichever may be to your liking.
This is a response to all the reviews that I received and your distaste about my decision to change Naruto's name. Before you go on ahead to state that this is a flame, I would like to say that yes, I do recognize what I did and I will stand by it. I know that all of you readers have come here to read a fanfiction story about Naruto, and now that I've changed his name, it has officially turned him from an OOC to a complete OC, and I can see it. So here is something my response to it all: I am officially closing this story, as in make it completed.
This story has been about Naruto, and his path to where he came, and while him may be still the same being, the story is no longer about Naruto, but what and who he became. Which is why when I return from my exams, I will be starting a new story, a sequel to the Child of Gods, which will feature Yoshimune as main character, a Naruto turned into an OC. Those that feel betrayed by my decisions, I apologize for doing it, but I do stand by it. This was intended originally as a nod to Samurai traditions of Japan, but has become something more, something that has upset many of you.
Consider the last chapter as a closing one for this story, and for Naruto if you wish. The next story will be centered around him, yes, but it will take place 7 years after the events of the last chapter. I know that this is a cheap try for me to get out of trouble, but this is what I have decided. Again, I apologize to all who have been disappointed in the story, and I hope that you may give sequel a chance.
That is all. Thanks again to all of you readers. Without you, this story wouldn't have been made.
Yours truly, Alex.
