To our readers:
Actually, I started writing novels many years ago, but I was young and impetuous back then, or you could say I was too lazy.
I really do start typing every year, then stop after writing only a few tens of thousands of words.
It was previously published, but abandoned for various reasons.
When I was writing this book, I was really unsure if I could keep going, because I'm a rather introverted person, and reading some comments would make me overthink.
Many people say this story is a bit toxic, a bit slow, and not fast-paced enough.
But I really want to tell a story about Hokage, especially with the emergence of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Our former protagonist has become a forcibly weakened old character, even though the new generation has its own story.
But I really don't like forcibly using my past youth as a tool to weaken it in the name of something new.
I liked Hokage back then because the Dead Last changed his fate and gained recognition through tireless efforts and cherishing bonds, even though it clearly leaned towards bloodline theory in the later episodes.
This is the first book I persevered with and finished.
But I know it's terrible, at least it doesn't meet my own goals or the goals of all of you.
I apologize to all my supporters for this, as my writing skills are limited and I haven't been able to tell a story well.
As for why I started writing a book again this year, to be honest, it's due to economic pressure. Lacking any particular skill, I thought of my old dreams, so I picked up my pen again.
I would also like to express my gratitude to all the readers of this book. You have given me hope that I can catch my breath, even though I am still struggling financially. I have simply forced this story to be dragged out for a long time.
It's not the best choice.
The story ends here, not a good ending, but it does make up for the original regrets.
At least I've completed my outline and done everything I envisioned. Although I could continue, I'll stop here.
As mentioned above, each generation has its own story.
There was actually a period when I almost gave up while writing this book.
Because of family issues, things were very unstable during that period. My child was hospitalized, and all sorts of troubles left me feeling very tired.
I didn't explain clearly at the time, and some of you thought I was in the hospital. Thank you for your concern.
I have always had many steadfast readers who support me, and their daily dedication is what keeps me going.
Here, I would like to thank you all again.
I wish all my dear friends good health (this is the thing I'm most certain of this year) and peace and safety.
By the way, I actually have many options for my next book, but I'm still struggling to decide. I hope you all can vote for me.
Because I need to make money, and I'm afraid my next book will flop.
However, one thing is certain: it will be issued before the Chinese New Year. That's for sure.
See you in the next book.
Thank you.
It's finished!!
