2015 update at Bottom, check if you want.

If you are wondering about the new name added on to the Cursed Demon title, is in fact due to this story being shortened into a Part 1 of 3 that will compose the entirety of the Cursed Demon story. Part 1 and Part 2 are will in fact be more like Prologues to Part 3 (the main part of the story) and both Parts 1 and 2 will be shorter than Part 3 by far, each representing about a 2 year period in Naruto's life. They are both their own stories due to the two completely circumstances Naruto finds himself in. Part 3 is going to much much longer and will be an entirely new circumstance for this new Naruto. Don't worry, I'm not getting rid of any pairings I've had planned, matter of fact not too much had to be changed in the first 4 chapters at all. They fit in just fine with my grand plot.

So I would appreciate for all of you who have read Cursed Demon before, to do so again, due to some of the minor changes I've instilled, I believe you will find it a better read and some of the extra stuff I added to be intriguing. This will also be posted at the top of Chapter 1 for those of you who don't check my profile.

Name: Sorry not going to tell you. Besides, I like to be called Rune

Location: In my room... duh... oh yeah, which is somewhere in the boonies.

Current Stories:

The Person I Admire: long winded epic, as many are starting to realize, and very exhausting.

To be honest I'm still amazed that people still read this story... it boggles my mind. Its not good. Really, the characters are to OOC and some parts are just ridiculous. Granted, I wrote this story early on, when we still didn't know as much as we do now about the Naruto universe (even for those of us who read the manga such as myself) but I realize I reached far to create many of the situations I wanted to portray in this story. Its not natural and unrealistic to me... though there are things I came up with for this story that I truly like. If, IF I ever work on this story again, it will be to redo it. From the ground up. But I will not take it down, since there are at least some people who do enjoy it still (I'll never know why, but hey, I'm not gonna judge you. You like my work? Awesome.) I personally feel I'm a better story teller now. So we'll see if anything happens.

Cursed Demon: My own little project of a darker, grittier life that Naruto begins to live, and how he deals with his new 'friends' especially that red-headed loud mouth...

Plus, expect this story to not only be darker, but to be funny as well (if you can find my sense of humor funny that is), I plan on having fun inserting some of my strange jokes and what not into it. So in other words Cursed Demon is going to end up being a strange algamation of darkness, drama, violence, romance and a good dash of humor (add some psychosis) and you got yourself a story.

-Updated Chapter 4: Chishiki wa Chikara Nari (Knowledge is Power)

Jinto: of Sadness and Joy: it may come as a surprise to many of you, but this was the title of the very first story that I ever posted on fanfiction.net, I was inspired to start typing my own fanfiction by none other than Dame Wren, the writer of the Two Halves story. However, it was difficult since one of the main characters other than Naruto -Ino in other words- wasn't very elaborated upon at that time in the Naruto series. So after only 5 chapters (which were short and very bad) I removed the story and started posting the The Person I Admire a short two months later. It was easier, and it was still one of my favorite pairings. Plus, it was apparently successful.

I always wondered how much easier it would be for Naruto if he could just have someone understand what he truly went through when he was younger, and the great burden he bears as a jinchuuriki (though that word wasn't used when I first started reading Naruto). Then I read up to the point where we got to learn about the Yamanaka family technique, the Shintenshin no Jutsu. I now notice that throughout the series that Kishimoto very studiously avoids Ino ever having to use said technique on Naruto, even out of irritation.

Well this is what happens in this story. Naruto is just about to leave with his new sensei, Jiraiya, on a training trip that lasts more than a year, and decides he'll prank the entire village as a sort of 'farewell' before he leaves though he's caught by a very irate Ino, and the actions she takes to prank him back will change her life and her view of our little blond hero forever.

Future Ideas:

-Rewriting Cursed Demon. The story is going to change dramatically from what I had originally planned, though it will still be mostly the same in the beginning, the story I have up now (after being re-written) will actually be more of an extensive prologue for the actual story which will be posted after the re-write.

Why I've been away so long:

I had to move out of my house. My parents and little brothers moved to Hawaii (dad is in navy) where my sis and I opted to stay behind where our grandmother and our aunt moved in with us into the house we were living in before my parents left. It was fine... for 1 week. I believe it is enough said that for awhile I was more concerned with the stresses of my life than with typing and updating stories, one I'm unsure of and disappointed in. After that I moved out of my house and moved in with my sister and two other roommates.

For awhile now, and to this day I am still more concerned with my everyday stresses, my job, my budget, food, laundry, utility bills, and anything else that is money or living related.

New (08/26/2015): So yeah, been awhile everyone. Well... anyone who bothers to read my profile anyways. Been sort of a ghost for the past few years. I'd have periods of months where I never touched this website. Then out of the blue I'd get a wild hair up my ass and splurge on stories (usually Naruto related). I do not know If I will start writing again. I may simply because money is no longer as much an issue as it when I had to move out and be on my own - as stated in my last update back in 2011 - I joined the Navy. So woo, money, benefits, a steady job.

Anyway, I dunno, I just couldn't do that thing that some writers do on here and just cut fanfiction out of their lives... that's impossible for me to do. I am NOT saying I will start writing again. But, who knows if I'll ever get the uncontrollable itch again? I'm not stressing about simply surviving and dealing with the stress that kind of life entails anymore. I may find the time. Or I may just lurk around, read fanfics and talk to whoever wants to have a convo while I'm on. Either through PM or on my one empty ass forum 'Gadalla Rune Head Box'.
