Going to have to keep this one short because my shift starts soon, but chapter 71 just hit the 50% mark. At this rate it’s looking pretty likely that I’ll manage to have 72 done by 3/4 when I post chapter 70.

I might aim for starting 73, but I need to figure out the best way to get my older stories so I’d best leave myself some time for that.

Some of you have probably noticed- and I intended to mention it in the last update- but we’re getting very close to the 500k mark. If I remember correctly, we’re at 480k [and change] so within the next month we should reach that milestone.

Considering I had never expected this to get past 100k, well, I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around it.

Most of what I had envisioned for the story did focus on Pre-Shippuden so I don’t have too much planned for afterwards. That’s probably a good thing, but even then I think we’ll probably hit 700k by the time we’re done.

I really hope it’s not more, I have too many other stories I want to start.

I’m going to end this here because I’m out of time, but I should have another update in the next day or so- hopefully it’s to say the chapter is done.

Until I next have your attention,
