So, turns out I'm not dead. I want to firstly apologize for the complete silence and lack of updates in this story. Life got away from me for a bit and then school started in full force. I still intend to work on the story but updates will be slower than they were when the story was first out. Secondly, when I came back I wasn't happy with how I wrote the story. This was and still is my first real attempt at writing so there was bound to be some hiccups. So I kinda rewrote the entire story, sorry about that. Every chapter is still very much the same but with massive changes that will affect the story. I'm currently finishing the last chapter for the rewrite, and they should all be posted today, replacing the previous chapters. This might be the last update until finals are done but after I plan to release the next arc in the series, the Chunin exams. Thank you for all your support and comments, they really mean a lot.
