Hello, everybody!
So, I am retconning the last 8 Chapters. I mentioned this a few days ago on my Tumblr. I enjoyed the content that I have written, but I no longer want it for this story. I didn't notice I was heading for burnout when I wrote all that stuff, and in the end, I think it's scuffed as hell plotting-wise.
So that said, if you want to download this fic before I replace the rich text, go ahead.
I have to go through heavy editing for the new ch 14, and I'm struggling with the new Ch 15, but ultimately I have an idea of what direction the story is going to go in.
Funnily enough, I thought I was going to be done with this story some time ago, I had predicted two or three more chapters (I forget when I thought this, maybe Ch 15), but for now, it's going to keep going. I figured out how to keep writing our cheeky, determined Naruto that I found so loveable between Ch 5 and Ch 10, and what he decides to do in relation to Hinata makes a lot more sense than when he started to become more passive around Ch 14 - Ch 15. It is originally supposed to be his story anyways, and suddenly Hinata was getting more POV than him, at least I think so. I also think focusing on Hinata any further would get repetitive anyway, so I'm fairly confident in my new outline and my decision to give the story back to Naruto.
- Thank you to all of my readers! I hope to get back to this fic again someday soon!
