A Trickster's Alternative

by Adameia K

Naruto, after a year of training from Sheikka and taking tests from the academy, must now face the task of being a true Shinobi of the leaf, but maybe it isn't what he anticipated? Especially with a certain silver-haired Cyclops involved? No pairings. Branch off of Apprentice of the Trickster.

Author's Note: hello my dear readers and followers, i had always told myself that i would never disappoint my fans by doing an author's note as an update but necessity has tied my hands. i apologize deeply for not updating for so long, for those of you who read more than one of my story you will find a similar note in those as well. i don't mean to make excuses to you, but i would like to give you some incite into my life and the reasons why the updates are delayed... that's right DELAYED not stopped but it will take a bit more time before i post some more.

when i started writing this story i was still in school, and when i got into my senior year of high school i found myself too busy trying to keep up with everything i needed to do to try and spark a creative atmosphere, let alone write. after graduation *phew* i got thrown into the annoying cycle of job hunting, and ended up with a rather time consuming job, but i had an income, and more free time then when i was in school, so i had started to write up the next chapter of this story, only for my computer, which was at an advanced age (was made from spare parts back in 2004 by my brother) start to show signs of dying. so i used my new income to save up for and buy a new computer which has been working for me just fine... except of course my install disk for my Word processing program went missing, thus setting my ability to wrote back since i have a bit of OCD-ness which told me that i couldn't start the chapter over with the information posted on this site since in my expirience, re-writing something based off of memories of writing something, and my refference notes just is never as good as the original concept, and i know you deserve my best writing.

of course i only recently thought of (and immediately palmed my face groaning) the idea of using a website to temporarily upload the document so i can access my old data (YAY!) so with much gusto i start anew on the updates that you are all waiting so patiently for, i can't predict how much longer until i post them but i promise to try and make them worth the wait. in the mean time i will be keeping the creative atmosphere up by going back through and editing/improving the chapter's already posted, i hope that those rereading my stories will enjoy the improvements and those reading for the first time will want to stay tuned.

thanks for your time, i'll try to finish the new chapter quickly so i can take this note down and give you a real update!
