Okay, so if you've skipped to this chapter without reading anything, then read this and then go back to chapter 16. Now, so it for some reason doesn't send out a notification for when a chapter is reuploaded so I am making this to alert yall of my chapter upload. At the moment I don't have a work around, I could leave this chapter in and next chapter would technically be 18. That'd be kind weird but it'd work. If I do end up doing that and this chapter acts as like a break in the story, please use it to review or take a break or sorts. Bathroom, snack, social interaction, whatever you need to do in order to enjoy yourselves more. Now I'd like to give a quick shout out to LB Cat. Your comments have been very appreciated. Same to Poseidon1702 and AvatarUzumaki. Poseidon for your critiques and suggestions in my writing format and Avatar for your enthusiasm.
To get an idea of how long I should prolong the time jump with Jiraiya's training, leave a comment on whether or not you want me to hurry up with this time period. Keep in mind I could do a spin on a movie or filler series if desired. Or if you have a suggestion, I'd be open to that as well. Naruto and Hinata will not be hooking up in this time period, but there will be many fluster secessions and embarrassing situations. I also have Kakashi and Shizune, and Anko and Iruka who will not be beating around the bush with their relationships. I'm not a smut writer so no lemons, but I can have romantic situations that aren't filled with teenage awkwardness. I could also push Iruka and Anko's relationship to the next level with marriage if you want to see that before the time jump. I'm aware that I haven't done much with Kurenai and Asuma so I could focus on the side characters every now and then if you want to see a bit more of them. I'm going to make a decisions whether you comment or not, it's just that it you may not get to see something you wanted to happen with the characters. Now enough talk, or writing, that's all I wanted to say with this chapter. If you're reading this after I've posted the next several chapters then leave a review anyways to tell me what you thought. If you're interested in more of my work, go check out my other story, "Whirlpool of Stone". Until next time!
