One Year later


Hidden Senju Compounds

Tsunade sat on the porch of the riverside in the compounds as she heard the splashing of water, and the giggling by her little blonde bundle.

"Come on, Kichi, let's go and beat pervy sage. Come on pervy sage, let's see who reaches the shore near Kaa-chan first!" shouted Naruto as he sat on a toad that was as tall as Tsunade's shoulders. She smiled as she saw the cheerful bundle of joy, riding the orange toad happily.

"Whatever you say, Naruto, we ain't gonna be beaten by the likes of that pervert!" said Gamakichi as Tsunade, and Shizune giggled.

"Hey, show me some respect, you damn brats! I'll show you both, let's go, Gama, we'll beat these brats, and show them what the legendary toad sage Jiraiya can do!" he said indignantly, and Gama, his personal samurai toad, croaked in agreement as they both rode their rides, and rushed from their sides of the shore towards Tsunade.

Both raced at full speeds as Naruto laughed happily. "Let's go, Kichi! Don't you dare slow down!" he said as his blonde hair flowed in the wind with the water splashing his face as both of them raced to the shores. Both were nearly at the same speed and were converging on the coast at full speed. Jiraiya made Gama slow down at the last moment for a safe stop, but Naruto urged Gamakichi to go on as they reached the shore, Gamakichi stopped abruptly as Naruto flew forwards laughing.

"Kaa-chan!" he shouted happily as Tsunade stood up, and caught the flying little boy in her arms, and twirled him around, making her kimono a bit wet as he giggled along with Tsunade.

"I won, see I told you pervy sage!" he said, laughing as Tsunade held him in her arms, Jiraiya glared at the little blonde.

"Hey, you cheated I don't have Tsunade to catch me if I stop that abruptly. The last time I got too close to her, she punched me in the face." He shouted as Naruto laughed, and gave him a victory sign.

"That's too bad pervy sage because I have an awesome Kaa-chan, and shinobi always use everything they can, and Kaa-chan is my secret weapon." He said proudly, and Tsunade giggled at the enthusiastic blonde in her arms and kissed his cheek.

"Well, you always have to do something so reckless, don't you Naru-chan?" she asked, and he grinned foxily, making Tsunade's mock anger melt away.

"I knew you'd catch me, Kaa-chan, that's why pervy sage will never beat me." He said, and she smiled as she put him down, and he high fived Gamakichi as both laughed at Jiraiya, who was grumbling about over-smart blondes that were too smart for their own good.

"Yo, Naruto, where's my candy, we won after all. Now time to pay up." He said, and Naruto smiled, pulling out some snacks from his pocket, and handed them to the happy toad who saluted him and puffed out in smoke. Suddenly Tsunade wrapped his head up in a towel and ruffled his head to dry him off.

"Alright, let's go inside and get you changed, it's time to study a bit. You had your fun with Jiraiya now. Come on, let's go." She said, picking him up, and he snuggled in her arms as Jiraiya and Shizune followed the two blondes back into the house.

Naruto changed off his clothes, and came into the traditional room that they used for his calligraphy practice, Tsunade put him on her lap, and he picked up the brush, and started drawing the Kanji. Jiraiya sat there, amazed at the skill the blonde showed with the elegance he had in his strokes. Granted, they weren't perfect, but the skill was noticeable, and that too from such a small child was astonishing. Jiraiya sat there for an hour, occasionally eating the snacks that Shizune brought him, and watched the little blonde go at calligraphy.

As the hour finished, Tsunade let the boy run off to get something to eat as she poured herself some tea and turned to Jiraiya.

"Wow, hime, his skill in calligraphy is amazing for his age. How long have you been teaching him?" he asked, and Tsunade smiled proudly for her son.

"Well he has been at it for two years, I started teaching him how to write and coupled it with the calligraphy arts. He is better at writing with a brush than he is with a pen." She said with a giggle, and Jiraiya saw the ingenious way of starting a child at the art of calligraphy and smiled.

"Wow, that's ingenious hime, that saved you so much time if he decides to learn Fuinjutsu." He said, and she nodded with a smile.

"So when are you going to start training him? Kushina started training her daughter a couple of months ago, and most of the clan children start at this age too." He said, and she smiled and nodded.

"Yes, tomorrow after his birthday is celebrated; I'll tell him about the start of his training. He has been pestering me for the past month, and I have been telling him to wait. I wanted to keep it as a surprise for his birthday." She said, and Jiraiya nodded, smiling. He wanted to see who his godson was more like. From what he had observed with the Uzumaki twins, they were entirely like Kushina, headstrong, and learning more by doing it. But it was their tempers that were the cause of their break in the flow of training.

She had been training them from the past couple of months. When he had visited her a couple of weeks ago, they were still having trouble unlocking their chakra's due to their hyperactive natures and lack of patience at the amount of concentration it took. He had helped her for a couple of days and had finally gotten them to unlock their chakra. Kushina hadn't started them with the basics of calligraphy yet and was beginning with taijutsu's basics first.

"So what styles of taijutsu are you going to teach him?" he asked, and she thought about it for a moment, and then answered.

"Well, Minato left him his own personal style, and the Senju style of taijutsu that I use will be really effective if he has enough strength. Since his body is so fragile for now, and he is pretty quick, and agile, I'll start him on Minato's style first, then when he is ready, I'll start him in my clan's style." She said, and he nodded. Both were quite fearsome styles, and he had seen both of them in action first-hand.

While the Senju style of taijutsu was all about strength and was a lot more defensive with a few mighty blows to completely decapitate the opponent, Minato's own form the Hummingbird style of taijutsu was all about speed, agility, and precision. It was fearsome since it depended on the body's speed, and agility, and quick, and precise blows, and was downright offensive as opposed to the Senju style. If the boy learned both of them, then he would be almost unbeatable at hand to hand combat. But to learn both, his body had to be trained to the ground, and it still would take him a lot of time. But if Tsunade was sure, then he would trust her.

"Well, that is a wise choice Tsunade, both are fearsome styles in their own regards, but the body conditioning needed to be that quick for the Hummingbird, and that strong for the Senju style would be too hard. Are you sure he'll be able to do it?" he asked, and she just smiled and waved her hand, dismissing his doubts.

"I've thought about that already, don't you worry." She said, and he was confused with her answer but nonetheless nodded.

"So does he have any particular preferences of fields that he wants to pursue?" he asked, and she smiled sipping her tea and nodded.

"Well, he is interested in medical ninjutsu a lot, and I guess he might pursue sealing too. He is always asking me to teach him the 'awesome cool glowy hand thingy' that heals people after all." She said with a giggle, and Jiraiya laughed wholeheartedly.

"Well, he adores you too much. It is no surprise he would want to take after your field of specialization." He said, and she nodded, smiling fondly thinking of her son as Jiraiya put a scroll in front of her, and she took it and looked at him questionably.

"That's from Kushina, she has invited you to the birthday party tomorrow at the Uzumaki clan compounds. Almost all the clan heads and their families are going, and she told me to give you this too." He said, and she nodded, and put it aside, and sipped her tea, closing her eyes.

"So will you go?" he asked a bit hopeful, seeing her neutral response, and she put her cup down as she gazed into his eyes.

"No.," she said simply, and he sighed. He should have known, and he didn't even bother to try her to go knowing she would just throw him out and ban him from coming in.

"So have you told him something about Minato yet?" he asked, and she shook her head in the negative, and he frowned.

"Tsunade, you should be telling him about his father, you know." He said, and she gave him an icy glare making him gulp.

"Don't tell me what to do and what not to do to my Naru-chan. I'll tell him when he's ready or if he asks first. I am not hiding anything from him, I am just waiting for the right time." She said coldly, and he nodded, seeing her tone of finality that left no room for arguments.

Next Morning

Tsunade woke up as she saw her little birthday boy cuddled up against her, and smiled. She softly pulled his shirt up and ran her fingers on his stomach smiling mischievously.

"Hahahaha… Kaa-chan stop… it tickles." He said through tears as he laughed, and Tsunade giggled as she let him go, and hugged him warmly.

"Happy birthday Naru-chan." She whispered softly, and he buried his face in the crook of her neck and kissed her softly, making her smile.

"Arigato Kaa-chan, I love you." He said softly, and she smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"I love you too, Naru-chan. Now my little boy is growing up too fast, five already." She teased, and he buried himself in her embrace from the embarrassment, and she giggled.

"Alright, now up you go, it's time to have some breakfast." She said, and he smiled and nodded as she picked him up and walked into the kitchen as she saw a smiling Shizune coming in.

"Happy birthday Naru-chan." She said, taking him in her arms and kissed his cheek as he beamed happily.

"Arigato Nee-chan." He said, hugging her warmly, and she took him to the kitchen and sat him on his chair as both Shizune and Tsunade went to work on the special breakfast for him. She started on the rice and put on the soup as she fried some pork cutlets, and poured the soup in a bowl over the rice, and served the steaming hot freshly fried pork cutlets on top, and added a bit of mayonnaise on top. She would never understand his peculiar combination making skills, but she had to admit it tasted pretty damn good. She brought the tray with the three large bowls and put them on the table as Naruto beamed and hugged her making her giggle at how much he loved his food. They all broke their chopsticks, and after a chorus of 'Itadakimasu,' they dug in and ate silently.

She saw as he quickly tore through the food and giggled as she suddenly grabbed his bowl, and pulled him onto her lap, and grabbed his hands, putting her chin on his head.

"Naru-chan, eat slowly like I told you, alright." She said softly, and he nodded as he started eating elegantly, and she smiled as he put a bite for her, and then took his own. Shizune, too did the same with him, and Tsunade did the same for Shizune as they all laughed happily. They finished their food, and Tsunade picked Naruto up and went towards the riverside porch as she sat down with him on her lap, and her front pressed against his back as both put their feet slightly in the water Naruto hummed a tune happily making her smile.

"Naru-chan, do you want to do something special today?" she asked, and he shook his head with a smile, and spoke.

"No, Kaa-chan, I just want to spend the day with you and Nee-chan." He said happily, and she smiled and nodded. He kept humming, and both watched as the fish came towards their feet and tickled their feet, making them giggle. After some time, Naruto suddenly stopped humming and started fiddling around, making Tsunade confused as she brought him in closer to her.

"What's the matter, Naru-chan?" she asked, and he sat silent for a moment before he turned around in her lap, and faced her.

"Kaa-chan, can I ask you something?" he asked, and she nodded with a smile.

"Of course, my little angel, you can ask me anything." She said softly, and he smiled, and nodded, and fiddled a bit and spoke up.

"Can you tell me about tou-san?" he asked timidly, and she was shocked at first but then smiled and nodded. She was going to tell him tonight anyway, so this was all the better. She pulled out a storage scroll from the sleeve of her kimono. She unsealed the album that Jiraiya had brought her silently thanking the pervert as she turned him around with his back pressed against her front and brought her arms around him, opening it to the first page as she saw him in his Hokage robes. Naruto gazed very curiously as she saw a few drops fall on her hands, and saw his body shaking a bit as he ran his fingers on the picture.

"This was Tou-san? He looks just like me." He whispered in sobs, and she smiled and nodded as she held him firmly as her little boy cried, and she cooed him and calmed him down.

"Kaa-chan, can you tell me something about him?" he asked softly, and she nodded as she put her chin on his head, and flipped a page to his Academy picture.

"Your Tou-san was a very smart and intelligent man just like you, Naru-chan. He always excelled at everything, and was called a genius in the village, and at his time in the Academy. He was really kind and caring too, but he held an air of authority that made everyone follow him wherever he said. He was born with those eyes of a leader, just like your eyes that showed off everything he felt. He was born in a time of war and didn't have any parents, but he didn't let that stop him. He created his own Jutsu and was a once in a generation genius at the art.

He fought bravely in the war, and his greatest battle was at the Kannabi bridge. His team was almost gone, and all of them were injured. If the bridge was lost, then the village would have lost the war. So instead of retreating with the squad, and running back to the village, your tou-san stood up against one thousand ninjas alone, used his signature jutsu, and beat them all. He won the war all on his own, and people were so scared of his power that they were said to run away if they even saw him anywhere. He was called the Yellow Flash because he was so fast, and so good with his signature jutsu that all people saw was a flash, and it was all over." She said as she flipped through the album during his younger days as a ninja, and his days in the war. She was glad that it was only his ninja photo album, and none of them had Kushina in it, so she didn't have to answer any of those questions yet. Naruto sat transfixed, hearing her every word, and burning it all up in his memory as he gazed at the album star struck.

"Then what happened, Kaa-chan?" he asked, and she smiled as she sipped some water from the bottle, and continued her story.

"Well, when he came back from the war, he was considered a hero in the village, and after a few years, his name was so feared and respected in the world that the village named him Hokage. The youngest ever at 24 years old." She said as he asked a question.

"Kaa-chan, what is a Hokage?" he asked curiously, and she smiled sadly as this was the question she had once heard Nawaki ask her granduncle, and remembered his speech that he spoke almost for word.

"The Hokage is the leader of the village hidden in the leaves. He is the strongest ninja of the village and is the one who looks after everyone. The village is a tree, and the people are its leaves where the Hokage is the stem that holds it firmly when the winds blow harsh. He is the shadow that looks upon the village, and keeps it safe, which is why he is called the Fire Shadow." She said, and he nodded as she continued, and her mind went down to memory lane as she remembered her granduncle standing on the Hokage monument with her in his arms with her grandfather beside him as she quoted his words. 'Where the tree leaves dance...One shall find flames...The fire's shadow will illuminate the village...And once again, tree leaves shall bud anew. It doesn't matter what you do if you live and die as you like; however, no matter what road you end up taking, remember to protect the people that are precious to you. That is what it means to be Hokage.'." She quoted, and Naruto turned around in her arms with a determined look in his eyes that made her capture his gaze.

"Then I'll become Hokage too, just like Tou-san, and one day I'll surpass them all, even Tou-san. To be Hokage, that's my dream." He said in a determined voice with brilliantly determined shining eyes that took her breath away as she saw an image of her brother, Dan, and finally, Hashirama, and Tobirama with smiles, and their hands on his shoulders, and Minato's hand on his head standing behind him with smiles, and her eyes watered at his words. Her eyes streamed with tears as she brought him in a tight embrace, not wanting to let go. Naruto hugged her tightly and was worried if he had said something wrong.

'Oh my god, he too has that accursed dream. I can't lose him, not him too. He is the only one left for me. He is my lifeline, what should I do?' she thought as she felt a hand on her shoulder, and saw Hiruzen standing there with a grandfatherly smile on his face, and gave her a nod of confidence, and she wiped her tears away and smiled as she gazed at the worried eyes of her son. Hiruzen had heard everything she said, and couldn't be prouder of her words. She was nurturing him well, and he, too, had inherited the will of fire of his ancestors. This was the perfect advice on a birthday he mused and was proud to have raised such a brilliant student.

"Just one more time, I'll believe in him and help him forge his path to wherever he wants to. I promised myself I'd help him in whatever he wanted to do, and if he wants to follow this dream, then I'll help him achieve it. This time I'll watch him go through it." She thought as she removed the necklace from her neck, and put over his as Naruto looked at it curiously, and wondered why she had given her pretty necklace to him. She saw his curious eyes and smiled.

"That Naru-chan is my grandfather and the First Hokage's necklace. Only those that will actually become Hokage wear it. It is a Senju family heirloom, and my most precious possession besides you. This is a promise that I'll help you achieve whatever you want to." She said, and kissed his forehead and gave him a warm smile and hugged him tightly.

She broke off the hug, and Naruto gazed at the old man behind her curiously and tilted his head to the side in confusion. He was in his usual robes without the Hokage attire.

"Who are you?" he asked, and he smiled at him warmly.

"I'm Hiruzen, Hiruzen Sarutobi Naruto-Kun. I am the Sandaime Hokage of the hidden leaf village and your mother's sensei." He said as Naruto's eyes widened, and he looked at him startled.

"You're the Hokage?" he asked and got a nod in return. "And you taught Kaa-chan too?" he asked, getting another nod, and a smile. "Wow, you must be strong." He said, and Hiruzen smiled proudly and nodded again. Tsunade watched the back and forth conversation with amusement.

"But Kaa-chan is stronger, and besides, you're pretty old." He said, and Hiruzen face faulted, and Tsunade laughed as she coddled up her son.

"Ohh Naru-chan, you're too cute hehe…" she said, laughing as Hiruzen fixed his clothes, and looked embarrassed.

"Just you wait, old man, I'll take that position of Hokage from you and kick you out of your office. Just you see." He said, making Tsunade, and Hiruzen laughed, and Naruto pouted and puffed his cheeks, making him look adorable as Tsunade brought him into an embrace. He snuggled in her arms, making Hiruzen smile warmly.

"I have no doubt, my boy." He said, and Naruto smiled at the old man and thought he was a good man even if he was pretty old now.

"Alright, Naru-chan, now run off to your Nee-chan, and let your Kaa-chan catch up with her sensei alright." She said softly, and he shook his head and crossed his arms, making her smile. She kissed his cheek, and he let his arms drop but still shook his head. She kissed him on the other cheek, and he pouted.

"You're mean Kaa-chan, you always do that." He said, and she giggled as he ran off into the house, and Hiruzen took a seat beside her and dipped his feet in the slowly flowing water of the stream.

"It's a surprise to see you here, sensei, shouldn't you be in the village?" she asked, and he smiled.

"No, Jiraiya took care of the work for me today, to let me come, and visit you; after all, I do have to spoil my grandson. I had to bribe him with my crystal ball, letting him peek for ten minutes." He said, and she smiled as both sat in comfortable silence.

"I'm surprised you let him pursue that dream, I thought you hated the position of Hokage." He said, and she nodded.

"I still do." She said, and he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "But if he wants to pursue that dream, then I'll help him get there. I promised myself I'll let him do whatever he wanted, and this is the first time he has ever set a goal for himself, and I didn't have the heart to refuse him after seeing his eyes. He is the only one that I can't refuse anything to. I'll believe in him and give him whatever he wants." She said, and he smiled and nodded as he gazed at the river.

"I'm proud of you, Tsunade. Of all the three of my students, you are the one that has made me the proudest." He said, and she looked at him, surprised, and he put a hand on her head and smiled. She felt pride in her heart as she felt like she was back in her genin days when she wanted to hear those words from his mouth.

"The will of fire burns brightly in that boy, and I know you will nurture him to become a fine man." He said, and she nodded.

"You must be happy, huh sensei, to become Hokage, he will have to become a shinobi under your command." She said, and he nodded.

"Of course I am happy, I have great hopes for him, and I see that Jiraiya was right. He loves you, dearly." He said, and she smiled and nodded.

"So not going to ask me to return to the village sensei?" she asked, and he shook his head, making her confused.

"No Tsunade, the council wants to get their hands on Naruto, especially those elders with Danzo being the primary threat. They have amassed quite a lot of power over the years, so Jiraiya and I are working to re-establish the old ways. Naruto should stay here with you than return to the village. I am no fool Tsunade, I know that Naruto isn't ready to learn of his burden or abandonment yet, and Kushina's selfishness to get back into his life will only harm him now. Let him mature and nurture him to be the best that he could. Iwa is already hostile enough with us as it is, and after the Kumo-Hyuga incident, the village is in turmoil. Naruto is much safer here. Our enemies won't attempt to kidnap the Uzumaki twins since they are jinchuriki and practically heroes of the village, and it will lead to an instant declaration to war, but Naruto is another case altogether. They will try to abduct him, and force him to be brainwashed, and become loyal to the village or eliminate him altogether. Our spies have noted that they are looking for Naruto ever since they learned of your adoption and that he is outside the protection of the village. He is much safer here. Let the village get back up to strength, and let me resolve these internal issues. Then, you can return, and Naruto can lead a peaceful life and be strong enough to protect himself." He said, and she nodded, trusting the professor completely. She knew he always wanted the best for her, and Naruto along with the village, and agreed with him on every point.

"Thank you, sensei." She said, and he nodded as they stood up and walked back to the house. They walked up to Naruto, and Shizune and Hiruzen smiled as he took out a packed gift and handed it to the blonde who took it with a polite bow. Hiruzen was surprised at the politeness and sudden elegance that the boy held, and smiled. He saw him waiting for his permission, and he smiled and nodded as he opened it slowly, took out a packed set of custom-made shurikens, smiled happily, and thanked him. Hiruzen just ruffled the boy's hair and smiled.

"Alright, now I have to get back to the village I can't be gone too long, or Jiraiya might make peeking legal in the village." He said, making them all besides Naruto chuckle, which was confused.

"Arigato Jiji." He thanked him again with a bow, and Hiruzen smiled and nodded as he went out of the compounds, and towards the village.

They celebrated his birthday like every year, and Tsunade gave him some scrolls on the basic fundamentals of shinobi and promised to start his training from the next day as his present. They all celebrated until Naruto fell asleep from exhaustion.

Meanwhile in Konohagakure no Sato…

Uzumaki clan compounds

Kushina was at the party as she half-heartedly entertained the guests, and kept glancing at the entrance if maybe Tsunade would come though she knew the chances were really slim if at all none. She watched as Jiraiya and Kakashi were there with the twins happily, and Jiraiya had told her that he had given the invitation, but she had refused it completely. It made her quite furious that she couldn't even meet her own son but knew that it was her own fault. She saw Hiruzen come in, and a smile graced her lips as she greeted the man. Both of them walked towards the twins, and Hiruzen smiled a grandfatherly smile at the two of them.

"Happy Birthday Kara, and Mito." He said warmly, and both of them grinned as he handed them the same presents as Naruto, and they immediately took them and opened them. Both of them frowned a bit at seeing a shuriken set as they expected something cool from the Hokage, and thanked him nonetheless, and ran off to the other kids. He unconsciously noticed the difference between the sisters and their brother at how they handled each other and saw that they were completely different from him.

"Thank you, Hiruzen, for coming to the party." She said, and he nodded with a smile.

"It was no problem at all, Kushina, and most of the council members too invited me at the get together here., and I wouldn't miss the chance of meeting my granddaughters now, would I? After all, I went to see Naruto too." He said, and Kushina looked at him with curious eyes.

"Really? How is he? Is he happy?" she asked, and he nodded with a smile.

"He's fine, Kushina, and he is very happy. Tsunade loves him deeply, and the same goes for young Naruto. Tsunade today told him about his father when he asked her, and he decided on a new dream." He said, and she looked at him with curious eyes making him smile.

"Really? What is his dream?" she asked, and he smiled fondly, remembering the moment he saw earlier.

"After Tsunade told him about his father, he was so star struck with the stories that he set a new goal for himself. Apparently, he wishes to surpass all the Hokage's even his father and wants to become Hokage." He said, and her heart ached. Her little boy shared her dream that she held in her heart, and felt a pang of jealousy at hearing how happy he was with Tsunade. Hiruzen saw the flicker of emotions through her face and smiled sadly.

"So then will she be coming back to the village for Naruto to join the Academy then?" she asked, and he sighed and shook his head, making her more confused.

"No, she will most probably return by the time of their graduation time, and I'll let him take the graduation exam then, seeing as he would be trained by her personally all these years." He said, and her eyes widened. She wasn't going to bring him to her all those years. She immediately turned furious as she glared at the man.

"How could she keep him away from me all these years, and why are you showing her favoritism by letting Naruto take the exams when she pleases?" she asked, and he matched her glare with his own making her flinch.

"Kushina, I am not showing any favoritism. You can hold your daughters out too and can have them take the exams directly at any time they please. This has been a rule ever since the reign of the Nidaime that students who have acquired the necessary skills can take the exams at any time they please so as to not hold back their developments. Kakashi and Itachi are two prime examples who graduated early with their skill. Please, Kushina don't take out your anger and frustrations on everyone and wait for the time to come. You do regret your mistakes, and that is what matters." He said calmly, and she nodded, smiling sadly, knowing he was right, and she had to just wait for the right time to come.

"I know Hiruzen, it's just I want to hold my baby boy in my arms. I haven't even seen him in the past five years, and have no idea how he is or if he is even happy. I just have your, and Jiraiya's, and to some extent, Kakashi's word on the matter, and I feel like I am missing him too much." She said, clenching her fists and biting her trembling lip as he put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"I understand, Kushina, and I'll get Jiraiya to get you some pictures of the boy, and then you could see how happy he is. Tsunade even has some videos from his birthdays from the security cameras of her house that I could arrange for you, I'm sure Tsunade won't mind. And I assure you, Kushina, he is one of the happiest kids I have seen, and Tsunade cares for and loves him deeply." He said calmly, and she smiled a little and nodded as they went through the party, and the night ended in both the compounds on a happy note for the time being.

Author's note: There was not much to edit with this chapter, I honestly just spent the past while looking over how this story can use the next chapters to branch further out and where I want to end it exactly. I feel that most writers have a general idea to where they want their story to go, but never the path to get there or what it means as a whole. I dont mean to discredit any of the amazing writers who have had events in their life stop them from writing or get stuck in a pit of ideas that dont work out, but I do genuinely feel that planning out the ending is a crucial part in writing a befitting ending to your story. I want to make sure this story gets it just deserts and contribute my part to the fandom. Anyway if there are any suggestions you would like to make PM or comment it. Next chapter the authors note will entail some of the ideas I liked the most and the few I want avoid. Thank you for your continued support.
