"So, how's everything going?" Naruto said sipping on some tea besdes Anastacia.
"It... it has been peaceful," the firekeeper said, her eyes lingering on the red of his hair. "I stroll around the shrine now. I play with Crystal. And... the silence is not so heavy anymore. What of you?"
"Honestly? A lot of boring stuff." Naruto said, keeping it vague. Anastacia had only just found something resembling peace and the last thing he wanted was to dump his problems at her feet.
Oscar and Crystal darted across the grass, tumbling over one another with an infectious energy. The two humans laughed quietly, tossing folded paper kunai into the air for the lizards to leap after. Crystal managed to catch one and refused to let it go, which made Oscar chase her in dizzy circles.
"This has been nice... but I should get going. Rickert and I have a lot of catching up to do."
"Wait... before you leave," Anastacia said, her voice more hesitant. "You once told me... that you could take me to a place where even the gods would not reach me... What did you mean?"
"You mean when I had Oswald absolve your sins?"
"Yes." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"I came here from another world, Anastacia. And... for some reason, I can still return to it."
"So... you wish to bring me to this home?"
"Only if you want to go. The choice is yours. I would never ask it of you otherwise."
Anastacia's lips quivered with the beginnings of a smile. Her voice was barely above a whisper. "Th, thank you... Truly. You absolved my sins when I believed no one would. Now you offer me a future?"
She looked toward the shrine above. "But... I am still a Firekeeper. I must remain until the Chosen Undead rises."
"What about after that? Once your duty ends?"
"I... I do not know. Perhaps then, I am free."
And now, the announcement.
Naruto: The Chosen Undead will be going on a one month break.
My Exams are coming and they are not going to pass themselves. I want to give this story the attention it deserves rather than rush chapters out while my brain is buried in revision, so I am making the call now to step back and do this properly. Hopefully I will see you all in April with a chapter worth the wait.
I want to say this sincerely: thank you. Thank you for reading, for every review, every like, every DM, every comment with jutsu suggestions and knight lore and magic system discussions and name ideas. This story exists because of the community that showed up for it and kept showing up, and that means more to me than I know how to properly put into words.
I started this as a fun idea and you all made it into something I am genuinely proud of. I hope to keep giving you something worth enjoying for a long time yet.
Until April then.
It has been an honour.
And don't forget to praise the sun.

[ Personal Note: First off, thanks a ton to all of you for sticking with this story. Seriously, you guys are awesome. Now, if you're interested in supporting me on P@treon, let me just say that over there, I post these massive 15k-word chapters. But heads up, if you're jumping to P@treon, you'll need to start from Chapter 98, since that's where this chapter lines up with the content there.
To everyone here just reading along, please don't forget to leave a comment! Honestly, your comments make my day, and they let me know you're as invested in this story as I am. So yeah, thanks again, and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day!
