This is not a new chapter but an apology as to why the chapter is late, I know some folks don't like reading update posts but for those who are curious here is what I have to say:

To everyone who's waiting for the next chapter, I am sorry it is running late, I originally had planned to post a chapter a week but I'm having trouble getting the details of each chapter down. I will get the next chapter up soon, how soon I don't know and I apologize about that, but I promise it will be soon.

If anyone is curious as to why I'm having trouble, it's sort of a combination of busy weeks and an overactive, unorganized mind full of possible future ideas for the next stories. I have the base, or gist, of how I want to do this story, but I'm working on the details as I mentioned earlier, so again I am sorry.

Thank you all who are following this story, those who have favored it, and for leaving comments. It lets me know that there are folks who injoy reading this story and it is honestly because of all of you that has gotten me motivated to continue and create more stories.

Also a shout out to neossqull, Soul Reaper With a Core Drill, and Methos-Kyuubi777. Neo and Soul helped by telling me how to improve on the story, and now the first three chapters have been revised and also for Methos who helped me come up with the details of this Naruto Universe to give it a good start and flow.

Until next time, See you in the true Chapter 5: When Steam and Waves Clash. Bye.
