First, let me clarify! This is pure Bleach. It starts with Naruto, but that is only the beginning, serving merely as an introduction.

Actually, what Feng Ye wanted from Anko Mitarashi was only that lingering obsession Shadow could not let go of.

Everyone has probably noticed that this story has only one female lead: Yoruichi Shihōin.

But if they ended up together so easily, the subsequent story would be very difficult to write. Even if I managed to write it, Feng Ye himself would not be satisfied.

Shadow's unforgettable past and his path of love with Yoruichi Shihōin are also one of this story's main threads.

So, regarding the suggestion from readers to bring Anko into the world of Bleach—it could be done, since I had indeed considered it before. But I still gave up on it. For no other reason than that I wanted to write a pure Bleach story.

No, a story about Yoruichi Shihōin. Just as Feng Ye wrote, ninjutsu and such rarely appeared in battles. Shadow's main focus was swordsmanship, and later on, Zanpakutō abilities would be added as well.

That was how it was. Every plot point Feng Ye wrote carried some sort of continuation for what came later.

Although some parts copied the original plot, Feng Ye admitted it—deliberately! I wanted to write Yoruichi Shihōin according to the anime's setup.

But Feng Ye's story would always have his own words woven into it. The principle was to write in his own style while ensuring the original work was not thrown into confusion.
