To all faithful readers...

Be advised...

It seems like Lord Purity has been a little bit too busy to even continue this story. Be rest assured that I have not lost my computer... or the internet. If you would like to help with this story, send me an e-mail with the next chapter attached. If I like it and think it will do the job, I will change it around and give you due credit for the story...

I'm still reworking the aftermath of the Sasuke Retrieval arc... I can't seem to get it down right... Watched a new anime called Elfen Lied... It's awesome if you're into gore, nude homicidal, and pyschotic chicks or horror/macabre... At least, I think it could be horror/macrabre... I'm not sure...

It's good in terms of quality of artwork as well with lush colors and good real-time shading. It's also got a real emotional tearjerking storyline if you know the darker side of humanity and what goes on in the world, both good and bad.

Hmm...

I had planned for this story to go off from where I started. Figuring that I will be doing something...

I'm rambling but basically, it's a build-up to the good vs. bad confrontation between the two ultimate powers.

The nine guardians of hell are faced down by different members of the rookie 9 and Team Gai while most of Konoha ninja are preoccupied by an invading force of demons and ghosts and other what-not, who are dispatched easily. Could be zombies but that's just too Resident Evil or Dawn of the Dead... I think that the 5 Kage of Hell face off against the more powerful ninja of Konoha such as Naruto, Sasuke, or Kakashi... or someone else... who I made powerful... Um...

You might try to find me and kill me, but I had an idea to kill Kurenai or Naruto... depending on my whims because I wanted something to work with in the epilogue when this story is finally wrapped up. Typically speaking, I believe that most of my readers find my stories good to read because it's detailed but not superfluously overflowing. It caters to what most people want but I try to keep it real.

Want to know my secret? I'm a reader myself so I know what I want...

I take the best parts of different stories and mash them up to make my own.

Naruto having the Sharingan? Unoriginal...

The 5 Kage of Hell? That's from Blitzshadow's The Things I Must Protect... but I asked for permission.

Naruto/Kurenai? You just got to love Specula, antiassingguy and another author for pioneering those stories. Honestly, after I wrote my story, I saw like 20 more Naru/Kurenai stories pop up... coincidence... Dunno...

Overpowered Naruto? Unoriginal but most people like seeing overpowered hero make mince meat of enemies. Some like the grit and sweat of a close battle so some authors make it JUST so that Naruto is around the enemie's level. Me?

Female Naruto? Loved these stories and I decided to make my own and refine my technique. I don't understand girls or women very well but I try...

Honestly speaking, I believe that suspense, struggle, and other what-not of the story is what pleases you readers. I want to make you cry when the character cries. I want you smile when the character smiles. You see... I'm not just telling you a story. I'm actually describing everything so you can empathize with the character, getting his or her point of the view of the world. I'm not going to describe every little detail but you get the gist of everything, right?

Look... I'm not going to bitch like the author, OpposingForce, who only sees the negative aspect of everything he's been through. I thought he was emo for a while...

Specula? Hates the world and cynical of everything. Hates college and life as well... Hmm... Might as well kill himself since everything here is shit but really, you can love life as well... I love writing stories... It's a passion but when people start telling you that you HAVE to update soon, it gets to be a frigging obligation and I find myself not wanting to do it anymore because it turns out to be a burden and a waste of my time because nobody cares to actually review the story and tell me what I could do better or worse...

Not everyone is like that. I'll take a few words of encouragement as well...

I might be one of the author's who give a damn about this site and tries to tell you nicely...

WOW... This turned out to be an update on how this story was to be updated and I ended up ranting about myself and why I write...

But, hey... It's nice to be able to actually talk to you guys and let you know what I feel. I know what I need... but I don't know what you need... so... TALK TO ME, eh?
