A/N: NONE OF THIS IS MEANT TO BE INTERPRETED AS SNOBBY OR CONDESCENDING IN ANYWAY. THIS IS JUST (POSSIBLY) MY LAST RANT/POST ON THIS WEBSITE.

Alright children and people and girls and boys and anyone in between get ready -

I am officially discontinuing this story.

I started this - when was it, like four, five years ago? I was naïve, I was childish, and I had no other social media other than this website that seem to beckon to me, to join them, to be like them, to read and write and rate stories that are written by young, unknown authors looking for their 'big break'. 

I'm not saying this to make fun of people, to seem like I'm looking down on those that want to become authors and writers and editors. I think that Wattpad itself is a wonderful website - designed for those that like an innocent outlook on life but especially for those that loves to read. However, after spending years on this, I noticed something - when was the last time a story is popular for something other than the cliche of a love triangle or a dead parent? Or the classical Naruto trope of a girl falling into the Naruto world, only to fall in love with the aloof and cold Sasuke? How many stories involve a mature outlook on life and addresses present issues without it seeming too forced and awkward?

I myself is guilty of many of these things. And many chapters and shorts are deleted soon after publishing due to that fact.

I have also changed from that child who wrote the same plot as anyone else on the website, to the person that wrote this slightly different story, to right now. This is 2016 - about 4 years after I published my first story. I've recently came out as bisexual and non binary. My writing skills have improved significantly. But more importantly, my writing changed. In my journey from Wattpad to Fanfiction.net to Archives of Our Own, I noticed a few differences in the different websites' audiences; and I myself changed according to it.

And that is why I am discontinuing this story; by going back and forth between different audiences and the differences in myself, I simply believe that what I write would no longer be of interest to you - my audience on Wattpad. So instead and letting this story go downhill and become less and less enjoyable for you guys, I will cut this life for Naruto and his family short, and let you write out what will happen in his picture perfect second life.
