Hello dearies. I owe you all an apology for the long period of inactivity. Laziness, job, university and personal matter are what I'm blaming it on and let us leave it at that.

However, one of the reason why this story, in particular, has not been updated is that I don't like where it is going at the moment due to how I have written it so far. When I first began writing Uzushiogakure Reborn it was one idea, but as a year flew by, in my head the story became a whole thing altogether. The plot grew, I kept coming up with more and more lore and frankly, I did not have the proper foreshadowing placed in the right places because it came to me too late. Now I have often (as my oldest readers can attest) rewritten old chapters and re-uploaded them. But frankly that is far more tedious and most people won't go back to re-read it.

Not to mention that this is a story about re-building Uzushiogakure after the mysterious (aka Kishi never cared before but when he introduced it never bothered to give more details) destruction of it. And I glossed over it so horribly! Despite it needing to be a main focus of the damn story.

Another thing that bothered me is Michiko. Now I actually love Michiko. I do. Her and my harry potter oc (Athene) are my main babies and their stories (at least in my head) are by far the most developed and lore filled ones. However, while I love SI OCs, I decided, as I actually did with Athene in the past, to remove the SI aspect (now SI means self-insert, but I never treated Michiko as an actual I am inserting myself in the story, but used it in the here is an oc originally from our world that gets reincarnated).

Therefore I decided to fully re-write and re-upload the story! (this is the moment you may all throttle me)

I can't begin to thank you all enough for the support you gave me since I began this story. YOur comments and encouragements never failed to lift my spirits and get me through a rough patch in life. This is why I am doing this. I have much to learn about writing but I still want to deliver a good story. And I can't do that with Uzushiogakure the way it is. I WILL finish this story. Just not this version. I have uploaded the prologue of the new version (also titled Uzushiogakure Reborn) and I hope, if you liked this story, you might forgive me and embark on this journey once more with me. If you are fed up then I thank you for your support thus far :D and will maybe see you in a different story. (I will however be focusing on Uzushiogakure and not the other ones)

Either way, this version will no longer receive updates. The new one will. If anyone is interested in the sort of things I have in store for Uzushioakure Reborn you may go check out my deviant art page (username: Mewrlise) and I have images with explanations for the story (it does mean spoilers though) and keep adding more commissions there.
