Special Author's note: Hey there my loyal fans, online readers, fellow authors and dear friends, this is Mr. Lee! I leave this special author's note to apologize to all of you for the three month plus wait for chapter nine :(. I just wanted to let you know about three things. The first thing is that I am going to try my damn hardest to bring out chapter nine this November. I have a hell of a lot on my plate this month, but I'll do my best to get it out. Second, while you guys wait, I'm doing some maintenance on my fic for the next several days, fixing mistakes and whatnot. I just fixed chapter 1, so take a look at it if you like. They are minor changes, so don't worry too much about it (Feel free to e-mail or PM me in regards to the changes. Save your reviews for when chapter 9 really comes out!). Finally, to all veteran Naruto authors, I'm seriously, and I emphasize this strongly, SERIOUSLY looking for someone to do two Arc stories from my TCOC challenge, with a few changes. Here they are:

TCOC: Fall of Akatsuki- Now that Naruto's clan has been assembled, he hunts down the remaining members of Akatsuki to protect his family. But when the spiky blond discovers the connection between Jiraiya and the group, will he forgive the sannin for his past actions, or will he make him pay for it? And what will Tobi and Pein's plans have in store for the both of them, the remainder of the biju and the world? Since this is an AU fic, only Itachi, Kisame and Sasori of the Red Sand are dead. Hidan wasn't buried alive and Kakuzu is still around. This arc is for those who consider themselves good at writing battle scenes and love Action/Adventure stories.

TCOC: The Conspiracy of Konoha- At the request of Dragon Noir, I decided to throw this idea out for those who like the darker side of Naruto. After Tsunade revealed her 'trump card' to the council and removed the feudal lords, they didn't take it lying down. What plans do the feudal lords and the remains of Za Kuro Tentei's (The Black Lord's) underground syndicate to have their revenge against the Godaime Hokage and Konoha? And will Danzo and Root finally make their move when Konoha is at it's weakest without Naruto? Find out as Team Konohamaru (Konohamaru, Hanabi, Moegi and Udon) and Tsunade, with some help from the rookies, protect their village from the conspiracy of the evil lords and criminals of the underworld, as well as the usurpers who plan to overthrow them in the shadows. As you can see, it's doesn't necessarily have to do with The Clan of Currents. But you can have them make a cameo appearance if you so choose. The pairings would be mainly Konohamaru and Hanabi since it focuses mainly on their team, and you can focus on the thoughts of the others (Like Sakura and Tsunade.) if you wish. Those who like Action/Adventure, Romance or Drama and have a knack for writing suspense will love this challenge.

The reason I choose these two is because a lot is happening with the Akatsuki and Danzo and Root as of late in the manga and anime. And I would like to see someone write a great story. If anyone is interested in seriously writing any one of these two stories, please e-mail or PM me on my profile page! I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THIS! DON'T DO IT FROM THE REVIEW SCREEN! SAVE YOUR REVIEWS FOR WHEN CHAPTER NINE IS OUT!!!

Phew. With that said, I'll take my leave of you for the moment. I will get started writing chapter 9 after Veterans Day weekend and will try to have it out HOPEFULLY before or by the end of the month. I'll see all of you soon my friends. Have a peaceful Veterans Day weekend. Later for now :).
