Author's Note: I'm sorry to say, but no, this is not a new chapter. It's instead the dreaded final notice that every author's hate thinking about, but hates even more having to write.
After thinking long and hard about this, I have finally decided to stop writing this fanfic. I have lost all motivation to continue writing it, as well as no longer having the time to. I tried to be optimistic about this, thinking every day that this would be the day that I'd sit down and write the next chapter, but I just can't. I have too much going on in my life at the moment to have to add in writing. I'm sorry, but I'm officially calling my story, 'The Tale of Naruto, Just Naruto', to a close on my end.
As such, I'm giving anyone who wishes to the option in continuing with my story, whether it be to start where I left off, or to start fresh and only using my story as a point of reference. Whatever you chose to do, all I ask is that you send me a message if you do either of these.
I want to thank everyone who has been with me as I wrote this, and I hope that you can forgive me, though if you don't I can understand why. Who knows; in time, when things calm down and I can breathe, I might come back to this story and continue it myself.
Until then, if that point in time shall ever come, I sign off and wish you all, my dear readers, a good night and good reading.
