Well folks, it's been a fun ride. I did manage to get some kind of sick satisfaction out of riffing this crap, and I understand quite a few of you had plenty of fun reading along. This is great and all, and I would normally try my utmost to keep up such a healthy relationship. You're all way cool and I'd love to keep entertaining you, but here's the thing.

I just got a hold of next week's spoilers. Masashi Kishimoto is about to do something stupid. Something horrid and wrong. He's going to be such a puppy-kicking bastard that I may have no choice but to close this world, as I won't have the heart to keep reading this series.

He's going to kill off Hinata.

I'm giving him 2 chapters to explain his sorry ass. If he can't do it, then I'm done with this series. And I'll probably be very, very bitter about it.

So this is likely a goodbye. Best wishes.
