I like how you are portraying every ones reactions, I just wish that you were still updating this fic.

Short but well written, and completely plausible. I disliked the bell test because from Naruto's history, you wouldn't think of him to be this dense. A good prankster is one who is observant, stealthy, and adaptable, all things that should have served Naruto well. But we don't see this.

Excellent work!

cool

Not a huge change from canon. I'm looking forward to the snowball
effect.

Not bad at all, much better then my own attempt at naruto fanfiction I think ^.^ I can't wait for further development.

It is a good shift from the norm. A Naruto who thinks in a barely organized fashion to realize (albeit too late) the point behind the test. It's good.

Naruto doing something smart? That's always a good thing lol.

oh my - I get to review first?

Lucky me. :P

Anyway, it's nice to be able to add another talented author to the Naruto-verse. God knows, the fandom could use it.

Anyway, good fic, mate.

I especially like the line you used to finish Sasuke's POV.

"Uchiha Sasuke was not prepared to let his injured pride go un-avenged. Beating Kakashi was the first step to beating Itachi.

And that was all that mattered."

That pretty much covers out boy's entire reason for existing.

Nice.
