Unfortunately for my long time fans of this story, this is a discontinuation notice.

I simply lost my inspiration, and saw how poor my writing was at the time of making this (poor being a matter of personal judgement). Because of that, I let this story lapse.

But I am writing a new Naruto story with a different premise. If you enjoyed this aborted attempt from years ago, you may enjoy my new story: No Strings Attached.

I do appreciate those who supported me during this learning experience, and I sincerely apologize for failing my faithful readers from before.
