I will admit that I was a bit nervous. Here's why:

You didn't update as fast as you have been! I was worried something happened! But you're back, and everything is fine now.

This was a good chapter for starting up the next arc. Your story continues to amaze me. Naruto is so awesome and cool in this fic, and I love it! I love your writing, and as always, I look forward to an update!

Author's Response: i`ll be going slow on the update. hope you don`t mind. i`ve been getting this bad case of writer`s block lately but i`ll try to update by the next week (definitely before xmas)
