Okay... Let me be honest with you all for a minute here.

So things in life are getting better for me and I'm happy. But currently my happiness means I'm not as interested in the Naruto fandom as I used to be. So that translates to not as interested in this fic as I used to be.

Now I know how this sounds but I'm not abandoning it. Just going on another Hiatus. I'm more interested in other projects and aspects of my life(not really a life but a shell of one. That might change soon though!) And I don't have the time, energy, or will power to write NS at the moment.

I'd normally abandon a fic like this but I've put too much damn time into it. It'd be a waste to simply abandon it and all of your support.

So I'm just taking a break from the Naruto fandom. Not entirely as I am in a Naruto fanfic discord server and I consider those people close friends and people I don't want to leave. So I'm staying there.

I will return one day. And that day will be glorious. But for now I'm setting the hammer down and I'm taking a break to focus on the stuff I enjoy writing at the moment.

Thank you for listening and I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Sorry for disappointing those who were looking forward to an update.

- sincerely, Tobi-kun
