So, I got an anonymous review from someone telling me that there is a narutoxshizune story that this one is identical to. Before there's any controversy, I just wanted to make it absolutely clear that I did not and would never rip off someone else's work. I know how hard people work on their stories, writing and editing and changing, and I think that it's horrible that people would actually copy a story and call it their own. The fact that this story is similar to that one is completely coincidental. If anyone knows the narutoxshizune story in question, I ask that they pm it over to me, because I'd like to read it and see the improvements I could make in my writing. Once again, this story is written completely by me, and I thank the anonymous reviewer for pointing out that there is a fanfic that's nearly the same as this one. I just want to make sure that there is no confusion over it.
