I know that a few people were wanting me to update, this is not an abandonment notice.

For a long while I lost my inspiration for this story, so I reread it and thought to myself what the hell have I done.

I completely failed to get across the personalities I envisioned them having and I failed to give them the bonds with people such as Ibiki and Inoichi that I wanted them to have aside from those two points I made one or two mistakes in the story as a result of my brain moving too fast or forgetting some of the smaller details.

As such I have decided to rewrite to make this story into what I want it to be, I hope everyone who has alerted this story will continue to read when I begin to repost the new rewritten chapters although I am under no illusions that they will.

Sorry for this massive delay but I feel it a failure on my part to not get across the story I envisioned, almost all the major plot points will stay the same so the direction the story is taking will stay the same.

On the upside as soon as I put this notice up I will be putting up the brand new prologue with the new first chapter to be finished soon, it stands right now at 2211 words and only covers a part of the original first chapter.

The rating will likely go up as I have been influenced by black lagoon so expect the characters to be slightly rougher round the edges so to speak. I will leave it as it is and I hope those who read this story will inform me if I need to change it.

Thanks to all those reading, Particularly to Evci, Stormraven, c im am a dragon and EllaAngel, who I remember having reviewed some of my other stories, Yami Kurushimi (I don't think I am a good writer but that may be because I compare what I do to my favourite book series 'the wheel of time'), Obsidian Fire (Thank you for making me think of some matters that I didn't clear up.) The Greatest of These is Love, (I actually messed up one of my favourite film quotes, I feel ashamed.)

I think i'll leave this there, it's one in the morning and I need sleep.
