Heaven's Regulations {Rewrite}

Author's Note

Well, what do I even say?

Thank you. Thank you all so much.

You guys have stuck by me all this time, and you have no idea how glad I am to have you.

You guys were the people who kept me going... It was all thanks to you guys who didn't just say "Ahh, screw this," and give up that I didn't just say "Ahh, screw this," and give up.

I knew you guys were there, so I continued.

SO THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH!!

Well, enough with all the cheesiness.

Each and every one of you who have read Heaven's Regulations is important to me. Whether you voted or not, read the whole chapter or not, made an accidental vote or not, commented or not, I see the reads go up and I'm very glad you're here.

But I think you guys still deserve a shoutout after all the voting you've done!

@LadyScarlet2017 Man. You were here since the first version of Heaven's Regulations. I could not have asked for a more loyal reader. You were always there, every week, voting and giving support - and you were one of the first to, so you hold a special place in my heart. Thank you so, so, so much.

@snowystar0506 I know you're busy, but you still took the time to vote and comment and give me love. Your support was one of the first to come through and I'm so happy to have you as one of my friends. Thank you so much!

@Goomy27 Thanks for all the support! You might have come in late, but you kept voting and voting and I'm so glad you're here! You've been there for me longer than that, though, don't you think? ;)

@myasmitharoni Wow! You've been a wonderful, wonderful reader! You came in late in the story, but I was so glad! That was a time when I felt like things were running a little low, and then you commented and voted and I was so happy! A heartfelt thank you.

@FukanzenlPafekuto It was great having your support throughout the book! I loved how you made it clear that you wanted Obito in the story hahaha. Maybe Obito might get what he wants at the end... Who knows? ;)

A heartfelt thank you to all of you readers I've listed above.

You're all important to me. You're all my wonderful readers and you all make my day better.

FUN FACTS! (AND MAYBE A FEW CLARIFICATIONS AND LOTS OF APOLOGIES)

1. My original inspiration for the story came out of nowhere. It really was just this thought that made me laugh and I figured I would write a story.

"Kakashi's lactose intolerant!"

I know, right?! Utterly and completely stupid.

Who knows why. Haha.

2. Why Rin?

I like writer168's books so much. I guess their books sparked a lot of the Sakura fanfictions. I thought about the characters I liked in Naruto, the characters who were on the good team but didn't have a lot of fanfictions, and I settled on Rin.

I originally wanted a fanfiction centering Kakashi, but I guess that hasn't been working out too well as of right now. I just fell in love with the Akatsuki and it was all over for me. Haha!

But hey, who doesn't love the Akatsuki? I swear, all the Akatsuki fanfictions are, like, making me "forget" that they're killers and mean and "cute and nice" was not Mr. Kishimoto's original intent at all.

3. That final picture?

Yeah, okay. Sorry. I tried. I think I'm better on paper. It was my amateur self trying to make sense of Clip Studio Paint, so please forgive all the crazy lines and colouring that went wrong. Ehehehe...

4. How did Sasori die, exactly?

Ahaha. I forgot about that, didn't I?

I think I'll leave that part to your imagination. I was meaning to say, though, that he hadn't equipped himself with a puppet body yet. They're all teens, after all.

Maybe that answers the question about how he got poisoned in the first place.

5. Yes. About that poison.

Yuriko did it. Yuriko, the woman who wanted to join the Hariken. I got ahead of myself in the story again and forgot to clear the point.

So then, pretty much, the poison screwed Iwa's ninja up, then it screwed Sasori up, and then Rin operated but he was still quite weak from surgery, so Kakashi and Minato were able to take him down quick. I still hate myself for pulling him out of the story... T^T

And what became of those Iwa ninja? Let's just assume they lived, or else they wouldn't have had all those people to fight in the Fourth Great Ninja War. But we're not in that generation. We're in the Third GNW, aren't we?

I suck at history. I suck in real life and I still suck in storylines.

6. That chapter just now?

Oh, yeah, I posted one day early. Well, where I am, it's one day early.

It was to make up for posting late for the past while. I forgot it was the last chapter and thought, oh well, I'll do it anyways.

Yes, that's your stupid, talkative, dimwitted, forgetful (did I mention stupid?) author for you.

7. Are you guys confused about something in the story?

Please, please, let me know.

As a writer, I have all the ideas in my head and when I try to use the foreshadowing technique, I end up forgetting to actually reveal what it was that I was hinting at before and skip right to the main point. Then, readers are like, "Wait, what?" and I'm seriously, seriously, seriously sorry about that.

I just think I already wrote it or something. Dimwitted.

I mean, the other day, I remembered something that fit in this scenario I just explained. A few days later, I've totally forgotten what I remembered.

That's your stupid author of Heaven's Regulations for you.

I'm really sorry. Just text me. I WILL fix it.

8. Next book, Rin's going to hang out with Gaara! Excited? I love Gaara; he's so cute!

Does anyone feel the same way?!

9. What do you guys want me to add? Is there anything you want to tell me?

I'm always open to answering DMs! (Is that what we call them? Am I mixing something up with Instagram?)

10. Last but not least...

YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK YOU'VE MADE MY DAY?

ANSWER: MORE TIMES THAN I REMEMBER.

SO YEAH. I LOVE YOU ALL TONS.

Thanks for all your support.

Hopefully, you'll like my next book(s) too!!

And so, here it is again:

Until next time!
