Yeah, I just wanted to do some commenting on the latest Naruto chapter. Of course a zillion other folks on DA do it, but since some rather interesting things went down this chapter, I thought I'd provide some feedback, most of which is my reply copied and pasted from a Naruto thread on another forum.

The Kage's are arguing amongst themselves. A lot of eyebrow-raising stuff gets said and while the feuding was enjoyable, what did it for me was Sai's speech to Sakura.

He just comes out and says that he knows Naruto loves Sakura. Why is this girl really surprised? Really. I mean, it was painfully obvious that Naruto liked Sakura since day one. Well Sai did say "love" and not "like" so I guess that's shy she looked shocked. Of course Naruto knows how she felt about Sasuke. Does she still feel the same? He's still trying to keep that promise, but, and this is where Sai really rips into Sakura, this promise that Naruto is trying to keep for her is causing him an ridiculous amount of agony. Of all the promises Naruto has made, this is, by far, the most difficult one to keep.

I love Sai. He's MVP of the year for that little speech he just laid on Sakura. Thank you, Sai. Thank you for coming out and saying what Naruto would ever admit: that Sasuke is causing Naruto pain and by extension, Sakura is also causing Naruto pain. DANG, SON! He kicked her when she was down! He was like *Sai slices her open* "Here, you pink hair-haird, breastless, violent psycho! Here's a big old bag a salt to go with those wounds. Let me rub it in for you. Get it in with those tears too."

And I'm with the rest of SRK. I don't outright hate Sakura, but screw her. Girl does not deserve Naruto. Hinata since day one has recognized Naruto for the worthwhile human being he is. It took Sakura YEARS to see that.

Now as for Naruto not approaching Hinata yet after her confession, in his defense, he may not know what to say to her. Remember when Gwen kissed Peter at the end of season 1 of Spectacular Spider-Man and he was dumbfounded? He felt so awkward around her that he had a hard time just speaking to her the way he used to. Naruto may feel uneasy around Hinata now as well.

Yes, I have finally returned. Oh how I have missed this place! Reason for my long absence was due to my lack of internet over the last two months. I'll spare the details and just say bills suck.

I've finished plotting my one-shot sequel to Hinata Loves Naruto. I just need to type it up and post it here. I've been under the weather for the last few days so give me sometime. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I made some minor edits to my Hinata's Confession one-shot fan fic. The ending just has a tiny bit more text, but that's pretty much it. Nothing drastic.

Thanks to everyone for reading and commenting on it. It has quickly become one of my most viewed works on DA.

Like every other Hina fan out there, I really want her to be alive. I was sooooooo proud of her when she said "Because I... love you" to Naruto. On top of that, she looked soooooo awesome when she said it! Girl needs to live so we can see where Nartuo and Hinata would go from there.

Hooray, I'm not dead! I haven't been submitting anything since I finished HLN chapter 13. If you didn't know, a sequel is in the works. I just need to get off my bum, plot it, write it and submit it. Easier said than done.

In the meantime, I will have some game related things to post. I've already submitted two of my custom video game ads. Until I get better in Paint.NET, they won't look award winning, but they get the job done, at least as far as what I have in mind.

Stay cool, people!

I finally finished HLN (Hinata Loves Naruto), a story I plotted back in 2007. Originally, I was gonna put the story on fanfiction.net, but they have way too many submission guidelines. I saw some fanfics here on Deviant Art and figured I'd just do the story here instead.

Again, thanks to everyone for reading and saying very nice things about the story. It was a lot of fun to work on. I'm actually planning on doing a sequel to this story. I'm aiming it to be a one-shot but I've also got an idea for another NaruHina fanfic. This one may end up running longer than HLN. I'm thinking of using a high school setting.

Be cool, guys and gals!
