Announcement:
Hey guys, I just want you guys to know that I won't be updating this story for a while. Now that the school started and all, my mom demands that I spend more time doing school things and stuff. I'll still be writing though and I'll post them all during next summer. Thanks for reading my story so far.
Oh, also, I'm going to start rewriting my stories and editing some parts. I'm not very satisfied with some parts of this story and I'm going to change them, hopefully for better. There may be small setting changes or possibly plot changes but I'm going to try to keep them relatively same. It'll be sad if you guys all had to go back and read around 45000 words just for minor changes. But if there is any consequential changes, then I'll inform you where it changes and quick summary of it. Also, I'll let you know which part of a chapter it is so that should you want to read detailed change, you can go back and read it.
Most of all, I really want to thank you guys for being patient with me and I hope that you guys will like the changes and future chapters. I already have the entire story plot in my head and I think you guys will like it. Well, I hope you guys do, at least. Yes, I'm aware that my story gets depressing at times and all but there will be some happier chapters in the future. But then, depressing stories are just my thing and I can't help but to write out some of those things. Well, my stories reflect my feelings at the time of writing and yeah.
Oh, and I'll try to speed up to the regular timeline but there is still going to be few more chapters regarding Naruto's and Reiko's childhood. I apologize if you guys are getting a bit frustrated with the slow pacing and all. There's just some things that's really important later on and those things must be settled first to understand the later plot. Right now, I have two major plot twists going on in my head that's going to lead up to the final climax and they are quite sadistic, but I think you guys will like it.
Since I'm giving you this boring news about how I'm not going to be able to update my stories for a while, as a recompense, I'll give a small heads up. This story is actually going to end when Naruto is in his mid teens. I haven't exactly decided his age but he won't be any older than sixteen and any younger than fourteen for sure. You guys might be wondering why I'm cutting so fast. Well, the thing is, in my planning, it's going to be at least until chapter ten or eleven before Naruto and Reiko become Genins - since there is three part to each chapter, it technically means thirty to thirty three chapters excluding the prologue - and by the time Naruto is in his mid teens, I'll probably have at least eighty 'chapters' or so (actually it'll be just about chapter thirty or something but you know, I have three parts per chapter) and I think it's just long enough for it to be the book one of this story.
On the other hand, I have a good news. When I'm done with The Truth, I'm going to write a sequel that follows directly after The Truth ends. Yes, so it's going to start out with Naruto in his mid teens. I already have all the ideas for the first half of the sequel and I actually wrote out a particular scene that's going to happen in the sequel. I haven't decided on its name - I'll do that when I'm done with The Truth - but there is going to be a sequel.
Anyways, thanks for reading and being patient. I'll try to write a lot of (good) chapters to compensate for the long absence.
