Hi everyone!!!! How are you all doing!!!???? I hope you've all been keeping well since I've last seen and spoke with you all.

Did you know? Back To Back is almost at 250,000 reads! That's amazing! Thank you so much! I'm really glad you've enjoyed Kari's story so far...............

But I'm afraid...........

Starting today............

Back To Back will........

Be...............

DRAFTED!!

Yes, well, it's been a long time coming. After all, a majority of this story was written like, almost a decade ago. I was twelve when I started writing BTB off of Wattpad, and then fifteen when I first posted it. Now, I'm twenty-two, and things have changed.

But don't worry!!!!! I promise I'll have it back by New Year's at the latest!!! It just really, REALLY needs some heavy final editing. If you've noticed, there is a lot of conflicting information in this book. It's gone through two other edits way back when, but now, it's time that Kari's first chapter gets polished and all shiny-like.

You'll find in the finalized version, if you are a former reader, that there are NEW SCENES!!!!!!!!!! A good majority of the chapters will contain new scenes, information, and references to my other works revolving around Kari's universe.

If you weren't aware of what those are, that's because those, too, are drafted until the relaunch of BTB! Let me refresh your memory on what those were..............

➜ The Warring States Era. A time of construct and consequence; destruction and death. Northward morals are a rarity that few people earnestly display. One could argue the point of being capable of being both peace-loving and a lover of battle, but at some point, a line must be drawn.

Makara Uchiha teeters on a very narrow edge between these two concepts, and just a single movement in either direction will determine her fate in her war-torn world. With very few people in her life still around who can quell her anger, Makara must decide whether the things she does are done because they are good for all, self-serving, or, if they are simply necessary evils.

Lover of all and loved by all, Kuroko Uzumaki has played the role of "walking ray of sunshine" since her birth. Her smile could bring a man back from the brink of death, as could her skills in medicine. The only thing that might rival her warmth is her impressive clumsiness and short-fuse, or, her desire to share her love with the rest of the world.

➜ Forgotten photos on a wall, a novel in the restricted section of the Konoha Library, and a strange nickname? Just who was Mara Uchiha? There are very few details that her daughter was given about the woman. A persons natural curiousity ought to have them search for loose ends. But with so many of them woven together... what could be waiting for her where the threads meet?

➜ She always heralded a strong belief in the power of love, from a very young age, and what she desires more than anything in the world, is to share it with the people within it. Especially, her great-grandson.

Finally able to return home, Kuroko Uzumaki goes searching for Naruto, desperate to show him the same love she was given throughout her life. But, there is a condition to her being allowed to re-enter the village, especially after being banished for two years, and that is, she must leave within one . 

There are two other side stories I need to put out! But because I can't promise my activity, I don't want to publish them until I'm sure I can give them the attention they deserve.

Anyway! I'm so very excited! And, just as a reminder, in case you weren't aware!!! BTB has a sequel! You can find and read Bonds of Fate here: https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/94705384-s-

It's got about twenty-five chapters for ya. Anyways! I'm going to go ahead and get started taking down the other chapters until further notice! You'll slowly notice them get put back up as we go along. Just remember, there will be new scenes, facts, and interactions compared to the old version of Back To Back that'll make it worth being re-read. And, of course, it's gonna be so much better. I promise!

As always, I value your comments and follows more than your votes because I love hearing from you all!! So please, don't hesitate! Say what's on your mind! Bother me with questions because it's no bother at all!

I love you all!

Happy Holidays!

Stay healthy!

Eat well!

Love each other!

I'll see you around! 💌💌

Love,
