UPDATE (5th of July 2013): I have been asked by several of you to let you know here when I have released the sequel. I am happy to tell you the first chapter is out and it is called No Sere From Spook.

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing well.

This is just a little update from me to anyone who's still following me or Operation Sound.

Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their incredible support of the story. Every review makes me smile, you're all amazing. I really appreciate that you took the time out to review for me.

Okay, secondly, I have noticed several people commenting on how they would like to see a sequel done in reviews, as well as having received a couple of PM's about it.

Some of you even writing in with your own ideas or are asking if you could write the sequel yourself, which is very cool, it is so awesome to see people so interested in the story.

However, several of you have asked me these things as a Guest on the site, so I haven't actually been able to reply. While it brings a grin to my face just thinking about how much people have enjoyed the story, here is my reply to the few messages about a sequel where Naruto is raped:

Rape isn't something I take lightly at all, and I don't particularly enjoy it in fanfictions, so naturally I won't enjoy putting it in my own. To me, Operation Sound isn't a story that you can fit rape into anyway.

Naruto is a special agent, therefore trained in all kinds of situations. As well as being fit physically, I don't think it is in Naruto's character to go down without one hell of a fight. Orochimaru is a 50 year old businessman who could not come out of a fight in a better condition than Naruto.

Some people may like to see Naruto as a real uke type of character, but for Operation Sound, I feel like I can't do that. Naruto is an independent, strong and brave, albeit loud and sometimes silly, character in Kishimoto's work and I wanted to bring that personality into my story.

So, after all that blabbering, in reply to those asking to write a sequel where Naruto is raped and almost killed, please go ahead, flourish, practice writing it's a great thing to do, but do not associate it with Operation Sound in anyway.

Honestly, I have had the beginning of a sequel sitting on my computer for several months, without the time to work on it due to University and work, but I will be hitting a long block of holidays soon, so things are looking good.

So, I will be writing a sequel to Operation Sound.

Thanks to anyone who bothered to read all that!
