Black-footed chapter 2 . 6/3/2014 I LOOOOVE how theory based this story is. Expressing the ninja concepts and analyzing them with logic is quite refreshing. Your unique touch on the plot is also enjoyable (Sakura's sacrifice, etc.). I also enjoy how this Naruto universe's atmoshphere is more serious than the actual manga/anime. Can't wait for June 15th |
Alicorn24 chapter 2 . 5/18/2014 I see what you did there. |
Owl344 chapter 2 . 4/22/2014 This is a really excellent fic. Sakura is one of my favourite Naruto characters, and while I greatly enjoy Lighting Up the Dark I did regret that Sakura is not more rational character. I also enjoy your change of Sasuke to a girl-I expect this will have an interesting effect on her character, and of course this means Sakura is still friends with Ino-and the semi-reversal of Izanami and Naruto's roles with respect to Sakura. What else? I liked that Sakura noticed that there was something off with Naruto. I enjoyed, though found a little gimmicky, the late/not-late switchout in the first chapter. Finally, I loved the bell test. Kakashi introducing the genin to the concept that teachers lie was-well, I hate to say 'fun', but you know. I enjoyed Kakashi keeping Sakura quiet to test Naruto and Izanami's dedication to teamwork. Oh, I lied. This is the actual last thing: I suspect that I will very much enjoy any fic where Sakura first blows up the ground to get people to talk and then *takes herself hostage*. *claps* |
ParLeClairDeLune chapter 2 . 4/22/2014 Although at first I was skeptical about a female Sasuke, after reading, Izanami seems like a totally different character. I'm interested in learning more about her and Naruto's background together and I love the fact that Sakura isn't portrayed as incompetent. I like the changes to the world so far, the characters are interesting and I was definitely engaged. I'm looking forward to seeing how to you will develop the characters and where the story will go. |
alex.j.stuart chapter 2 . 4/22/2014 Interesting variation on the bell test, and I'm liking the characters so far. Can't wait for more. |
BlueMirage chapter 2 . 4/19/2014 I clicked that button. I'm doing it purely because you asked me to do so, I don't really have much to say. I like the story so far. Science in the Naruto universe is always fun, because the setting actually has some stuff to work with instead of just saying "it's magic". Very much looking forward to Orochimaru in that respect, in hoping that he's not a complete idiot with bad motives and that he actually isn't the dismissive asshole he is in canon. Not expecting a good-aligned Orochimaru of course, but one of his goals in canon is transhumanism and there's a lot to build from that. If you've read 'Introverted' you'll know exactly what I'm hoping for. Izanami is refreshing. Her differences with Sasuke are very noticeable. It isn't only refreshing because I've read about Sasuke too much, but more because I find Sasuke boring as a character. Izanami doesn't strike me as quite as naive or deluded. Shame that you're keeping the other Bijuu. I prefer the early-installment Narutoverse where the Kyuubi is simply a very big and dangerous demon. I always thought that worked better for the setting. Can't have everything I guess. |
Myrrn chapter 2 . 4/18/2014 Quite fun so far. The changes (outside of Femsuke) are so far subtle, and the story is recognizable enough to be interesting, while different enough to be new. And I'm a big fan of Sakura-centric stories, especially when there are a ton of obstacles against her. Looking forward to the next chapters. |
Therl chapter 2 . 4/13/2014 Interesting start, will be following to see where this goes from here. |
Minato 0077 chapter 2 . 4/13/2014 Love it! Great job! |
Guest chapter 2 . 4/13/2014 Wow... finally a story in which Sakura is able to use her capabilities to the max. Also I wonder what's the reason for turning sasuke into a girl? |
Poppy Grave Dreams chapter 2 . 4/13/2014 I love this story. Your writing style is enjoyable, the world-building is delightful and I can't wait to see where you take it, and how you've written the characters is awesome. If the canon series had been more like this then I think I might have been an even larger fan of it. The action scenes are also really cool, being clear and remaining interesting the entire time. |
Afanasyi chapter 1 . 4/12/2014 Damn, I've read a lot, and I do mean a lot, of Naruto fanfiction, but I think this one is going to take the cake. Timebraid has been my ultimate favorite, but this one seems like it could be up there too. Really looking forward to see how this develops! |
loonyphoenix chapter 2 . 4/12/2014 Heh, I thought this whole story was called "Spark"... |
