Well...
This book was finished. For a moment, my feelings were a little complicated.
But the world of Hokage had, for the most part, been told. If it continued, it would only repeat the same formula and grow stale.
I was still quite satisfied with this ending, though there were some things left unexplained—for example, what exactly Orochihime did after obtaining that thing from Naruto.
There were also some other plotlines I had originally planned, as well as the endings for various characters.
For instance, where Hanabi and Longxue would ultimately end up, and whether Sister Mei Terumi would remain nothing more than Naruto's confidante and lover...
Would Kurama turn into a fox-girl and live happily ever after with Naruto...
I would write a few side stories about these things, so please do not rush to delete the book. Let it stay on your bookshelf a little longer...
Since this was a final reflection, I should naturally look back on it—such as what I did poorly that kept this book's results from going any further, so I could learn from those lessons for the next one.
First, this book's premise was actually too monotonous. At the beginning, Naruto's way of making friends felt satisfying—he was finally no longer holding back—but eventually, it still grew tiresome.
That was why I directly condensed the arc where he left Konoha to travel and make friends.
Second, while describing Sasuke becoming friends with Naruto, my wording might have been too suggestive, making many readers think this was a gay novel and even misunderstand the author himself... Sigh, I...
Third, the part in Chapter 45 where Naruto made friends with Hinata upset a lot of people. But my thinking was that Naruto was ultimately a native of the Hokage world. He was not a transmigrator,
