User blog comment:Silver-Haired Seireitou/The End of Naruto/@comment-4666155-20141106175624

Five years. It's been five years since I first joined NF, and even longer since I started to read this series. I may not use this wiki anymore, but I remember my time on NF as...'interesting'. It was at the height of one of the wiki's...er..."shit phases". Crossovers ran rampant, Shinigami had Zanpakuto and fired Cero, Other World was a thing, Seireiteou Hyuga had the fucking Genki Dama. We weren't the best example of a Naruto wiki at that time, not in the slightest, but we had a shitton of fun. I've never regretted joining this wikia, or meeting anyone that I now call friends; especially Arch, who was my first writing partner back when I absolutely sucked at this, and the man tolerated me for quite awhile. Sei and Ten and I never exactly saw eye to eye back then (Hell, we don't now), but at this point, they're two of my closest friends, and the fact that we're an odd trio just makes it better. Think of it like Jessie (Ten), James (Sei) and Meowth (Me). And then there's Cullen, Rasen, Armed, and a whole bunch more.

This was my first wikia; this place was the birth of the horror known as Ahatake Kurosaki, who ironically was kind of the direction Kishi took Kaguya in, just not entirely -w- Shyakugan says I? Rinne Sharingan, says Kishi. But yes, that character was shit, and so was the majority of my early work, tho I still look back on it with fondness. Due to my experiences here (and subsquently joining other wikis, like BFF and FTF) my writing skills were able to grow as I met new people, and now I consider writing to be a hobby; something I can enjoy solo as well as with my own friends. Like Pokemon, minus the collectiblility.

Naruto was my first ever manga; I'd seen anime prior, like DBZ, Pokemon, and Digimon (does Hamtaro count?) but I always thought they were American-made. It wasn't until around middle school, where a girl I knew showed me Shounen Jump, that was I exposed to Naruto, and realized there's a crapton of things out there called 'manga' and they're some foreign shit. Awesome foreign shit, though. Naruto has had its ups and downs; I won't call the series perfect, because it wasn't. Quite a bit of the War Arc frustrated me, and there are still parts earlier in the series that aren't the best, but nothing is perfect and Kishi did the best he could and was finally able to bring his series to the close he wanted. Not only that, but it looks like we'll be getting some form of a sequel in 2015; Kishi knows we want to see more.

So, it's with a heavy heart that I say farewell to the main portion of this series, and I suppose there's only one thing left to say:

NARUHINA IS CANON, BITCHES!!!!
