Chapter 84 - Arc 5.6 - Hyuga Drama - Getting Used to It

This was fun. I've had a lot of good times writing Sakura as of late.
I just wish that was true for everything.
Thanks for sticking around and supporting me.

Changlog: CH 61 got about 300 extra words. I fixed up a lot of wordings to feel better, and flow better. This did make Miel, Gita, and Luminella's bit substantially larger thoug...

Canon Side-Story: To Do List, Making Friends

To Do List side stories are a series of side stories that are largely spoiler free, about Sakura following through with the stuff she decided she wanted to do during Arc 5.
In today's option, she tries to make friends!
This will have a Pt 2 that enters the voting pool.

This was voted on by the $10 patrons.

Chapter 83 - Arc 5.6 - Hyuga Drama - Puddle Pile

Been having a pretty bad few days again, sleeping issues.
Really wish this wasn't a thing. Even with certain people being extremely generous, and others hiring me, I'm still falling behind my bills because I'm losing entire days to fugues and naps and overnaps and - guh.

But ignore that, because Sakura's changing everyone's lives just ...

Chapter 82 - Arc 5.6 - Hyuga Drama - A Princess Has a Request

5.6 reminds me a bit of the nonsense this story started with.
It's always nice to look back at the roots a bit from time to time.

Changelog: Ch 60 changed a lot of flavortext, especially in the fight scene and Sakura's reflection on what happened. The most significant difference was Sakura choosing to give Noblesse Oblige to Sasuke ins...

Chapter 81 - Arc 5.5 - Otherworlders - Transit Point

This is one of those chapters that I know for a fact not everyone is going to like.
It's a break from the normal plot, it's a theme break, it doesn't super fit.
It introduces an OC that isn't relevant at the moment in any particular way.

I get it?
But uh, others are going to love this chapter, and it had a big purpose.

I'm ...

Canon Side-Story: Crafting Tutorial

Another Week at $70, another Side Story.
This one was a tie vote between my $10 patrons, had to flip a coin. Came up tails, so, we're doing the Crafting Tutorial.

Enjoy

--------------------------------------------------------

[Caution: Before you can learn how to use crafting skills, you must complete the Crafting Tut...

Chapter 80 - Arc 5.5 - Otherworlders - Catching Up On Herself

Chapter 80, this is such a freaking accomplishment. Like, wow, I've never had anything go nearly this far.
Thank you for supporting me, both in general and for so long.

I love writing Sakura, it's one of the few sources of joy I have in my life these days. I have so many ideas I want to do. Some of them probably bad, some great, some ju...

Chapter 79 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - Talking to Kakashi

Sunday's Chapter, on Sunday, woo!

We're all blessed.

This chapter was long needed, I hope you can all appreciate Sakura getting a much needed pep talk from Kakashi.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Being released on terms of ‘probably not being dangerous’ isn’t the feel good mome...

Chapter 78 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - A Well Needed Break

The discords holding a freaking, Frieren watch party. I dunno, that's just how they roll.

This chapter is fun, I think a change of pace is needed and plan to abuse it a little before getting back to the meat of this arc. Come with me and have fun!

------------------------------------------------------

“Hey, so this is concern...

Canon Side-Story: Kakashi and the 'Genin-Sensei Exam'

I've wanted to write this for a while. Thankfully it just kinda wrote itself, which was awesome. I've been having creativity issues lately and this was very nice and kind of exploded.

This was the $70 side-story reward for this week, voted on by my $10 patrons. Thank you $10 Patrons, you're the best. Your support is incredibly meaningful.<...

Chapter 77 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - Panic Attack

Thank you for being patient, here's Monday's chapter.
It's a big one, this got a lot of edits. I really like it, so like, keep it quiet if you don't XD

Thank you for your support, I genuinely couldn't have made it this far without you.

Changelog: CH 56 got some minor edits, it's mostly the same.

----------------------------...

Chapter 76 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - Perspective Matters

Okay, here's Sunday's chapter. I could have posted it last night but it really needed another edit and honestly, you might not agree, but I would rather be a day late but post better stuff.

Work's been odd recently, so, doing the best I can. At least I can sleep again, turns out it was my spine and after a few days of aggressive stretchin...

Chapter 75 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - Her Hero

Woah, chapter 75!

We've come so far, who thought this story would get to chapter 50, let alone 75?
Not me. It's incredible. I'm still in a lot of pain, but I'm feeling better with every day so I hope I'll be back to going all out before long.

I really hope you enjoy.

Changelog: Chapter 54 got probably 200 words added. Some b...

What-If: Sakura Had Gotten The Decapitating Carving Knife

Another week above $70, another Side-Story.
In this one we take a look at what if Sakura had been forced to figure out what to do with Zabuza's sword after she killed him.

Voted on by the $10 patrons, thank them.

This was inspired by the time a player of mine managed to fit a tree in their inventory during an old RP.

Sleep d...

Chapter 74 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - The Pit

Welcome to the Monday Chapter! Don't look at the date.

I always feel a little awkward when a chapter is mostly dialogue. I understand that people don't mind that. In fact, dialogue is a huge part of my style and many people probably love when I go deep into conversations. But to me, it feels stale if more than one chapter in a row is mostl...

Chapter 73 - Arc 5 - Trauma Diving - Well This is Inconvenient

I could not for the life of me figure out what to do for CH 73 so I've cut the interludes short and here we are, welcome to Arc 5, Sakura's gonna have bad times and good times, but one thing's for sure, she's gonna have times.

Basic Changelog,

Chapter 51 had a big edit, when Sakura hands the ammo box to Tenten she explains that these...

Chapter 72 - Arc 4.5 - Brawling in the Streets: Ino Learns

It's still technically Friday for me, so like, I'm not late!

Been having serious sleeping issues lately, this sucks. Guh.
We wrap up the Ino/Naruto/Sasuke bit. Enjoy.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Her body moves on its own. Her hand whips down and pulls a kunai out from her pack, and her ...

Canon-Side Story: Neji's Perspective

As voted on by the $10 tier, here's your side story of the week.
I've never liked the Neji confrontation, but it's not because I don't have justifications or an understanding of what happened.

There's just so much context that can't be told through Sakura's perspective.
Anyway, this isn't perfect but I tried.
This is probably the...

Chapter 71 - Arc 4.5 - Brawling in the Streets: Lee Interlude

The first of probably three Interludes.
Instead of taking a week off to plot the next arc, I'm going to try and just do 3 smaller, less stressful interludes before starting off in Arc 5 next week. I think it'll work similarly, and Arc 5 is really short so the worst that happens is I end up deciding that didn't work and I take off a week after...

Chapter 70 - Arc 4 - Brawling in the Streets: A Pitiful Conclusion

Chapter 70 has finally arrived, and with it the conclusion of Arc 4. There's still a little wrapping up to do, including next chapter which is a Lee and Gai Interlude detailing his 'adventure' during this arc. I feel like Lee got hella shafted and he deserves some screentime.

Chapter 49 has been edited, it's worded better, fixed a bunch of...

Chapter 69 - Nice - Arc 4 - Brawling in the Streets: Sakura, Redeemed

The edits have been slow because work has been slowing me down. I was hoping to have them all done already but it's looking like it's going to go slower than intended.

So far I've largely rewrote CH 47, and fixed a ton of typos and badly worded text in 48. The edits are here on the patreon if you wanna go look, but nothing important has ch...

Canon-Side Story: Kizashi and Ino and the DDPF Protocol

Another week at $70 or higher, another side story.

This week's was voted on after a difficult 11 second decision by my $10 patrons.
You could get in on that too if you materialized an extra $5.

Enjoy the piece. 

--------------------------------------------------------------

“So the first thing you need to know ...

Chapter 68 - Arc 4 - Brawling in the Streets: Walking Over The Discarded

This chapter kinda fought me, but luckily I write the next chapter for Friday so I have a few days to get my bearings before I launch back into things.

Small note, the Shotgun and Rifle Tenten loots in the Mansion come up.
This is important because I haven't actually changed the earlier chapters to include her getting them. That will l...

Notice of Content Edits

The Public chapters are approaching the point where I'm not completely happy with the story. I will be making edits before those chapters get posted, likely over the next few days. Many of them will be small, and I'll try to keep a change log so I can post them all at the end of my edits. I'll also modify the chapters with the edits so you can f...

Chapter 67 - Arc 4 - Brawling in the Streets: One Step At a Time

Not a fan of curb stomps like this, it always feels awkward to write, so this chapter took me a bit longer than most. That being said it's also significantly bigger than most chapters... well, percentage wise.

As always, thank you for your support.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The first...

Chapter 66 - Arc 4 - Brawling in the Streets: Standing Back Up

I'm loving how easy the chapters are getting recently.
The support is incredible, and while it's not rising recently - the goal is so close yet so far away - it's still more than enough for me to put more love and attention into each chapter and side story. This one's a little longer than normal, and that's not strange. I felt like it needed ...

Canon-Side Story: Business Naruto Meets the Union of Cleaners

Another week above $70, another Side Story.
I say "Canon" here but I'm iffy. It's more like "this could have happened, and maybe did" but it's a little too um... self indulgent? Is that the right word?
You'll see.

$10 patrons voted unanimously on this one, so here we are. If you'd like to have a say in the next one, join me in the h...

Chapter 65 - Arc 4 - Brawling in the Streets: Real Talk, Featuring Neji and Tenten

The hamburger we bought yesterday ended up left out because I didn't realize my new roommate had serious memory issues as of late.

My bad, I need to learn how to live with someone who's head isn't always there.
But god damn-it, $15 of meat just down the drain...
At least Patreon randomly went up like $25 yesterday so, thanks for rei...

Alright Patreon change on chapters

That poll was unanimous and very vocal.
So I'll officially be releasing 3 chapters a week publicly.

Patreon will stay 7 weeks ahead.

This change will revert if I suddenly lose a shitton of patrons.

Should we hit the $300 goal, I will get us 7 weeks ahead on the 4 chapter schedule, and then release 4 times a week publicly a...

The Nature of Patreon

So I had a Patron actually ask me yesterday, if I planned to start releasing more chapters once the backlog is big enough, because there's no point to having a backlog of more than 30, it's not anymore enticing at all and the advertising improvement of releasing 3 chapters a week publicly would be very beneficial.

And I was like "I'd love...
