There are no words. There are no excuses. Probably not even a good enough amount of apologies. But here we are. Several years past due on this piece. And I've finally finished it.

With my deepest apologies, narutofangirl8, here is the contest prize I have owed you from my musical anime challenge so long ago. I don't know if you remember this, but I did. It has followed me ever since, and I have not forgotten it.

Why didn't I get this done sooner? I would like to blame my ADHD (I was diagnosed this year as an adult, which honestly explains so many things in my life), but that is no excuse, merely a possible explanation. My skills and technology with which to make this picture have certainly improved since the time I was supposed to finish this initially, but that is also no excuse. An agreement is an agreement.

So once again, congratulations on winning the contest. I do not know if you are still into Naruto, but hopefully this picture brings a smile to your face, if at least on the nostalgia factor. Again, I am so, so, so sorry I didn't finish this picture until now.

I would also like to say that this picture concludes my posting here on theOtaku. I didn't know if I'd ever come back, as life moves on, but I had to do one more thing before fully closing this chapter and fully moving on to the next one in my life. So to all who are reading this who knew me from back when I was really active here, thank you. You'll see me around on other sites, but this gallery will remain here.
