Thank you so much for reading my first story, Breathe for Everything Ends. This story ended up being over 100 pages and took 6 months to complete! I am really happy its done and I want to thank everyone who reviewed this story, even if they aren't reading it anymore.

You are so cool, that I can't even think of an adjective to describe you! You're green-y, and tea-y and most importantly, moose-y. You are awesome. And all the grammar corrections made me a much better writer. Thank you.

I know some people aren't too happy with the ending (I had to listen to a lot of angry music to write it), but Emiko was eventually going to do something to get her kicked out of Konoha. She figured they would kick her out as soon as they found out what she did(which they would have). It also makes way for a sequel. The cool thing is that most of the things I thought I had made up were actually right. When Haku attacks Gatou, there is a ring around his pupil. Also there is two Chuunin Exams per year, as well as there being a festival. And no, what Emiko did was not a technique from the Hyuuga clan, she can't see the chakra system so that would be impossible for her to do it. What she did was inspired by one of the moves she saw in the Hyuuga Clan book.

So yes, there will be the sequel. This story was actually a prequel and the next one is the real story, story. It will have (hopefully) much better writing and be less… well, stupid. For all of you planning to read the next one, please please watch Shippuuden at least!This story is going to take place from the beginning of Shippuuden to where the manga is now. You should definitely read the manga if you don't want to get spoiled. This story, which will be called Michi (Path), will be quite a lot different from this one.

If anyone wants to help me write a summary of Breathe for Everything Ends, that would be greatly appreciated. I suck at summaries, and for the next story I should have one. Also, if anyone knows anyone or would like to help me (kind of like a beta-reader) figure out the next story, please message me. I think I might need a lot of help with this one. :)

We each have our own path to follow, but that doesn't mean that we can't cross paths. Maybe one day, one day soon, we'll see each other again.
