ooooooo Joy Boy name has been dropped! Oooohhhhhhhh!

Aren't Naruto and Gaara both at the age where they would normally would have graduated from the ninja academy? While Naruto is more skilled in wind chakra manipulation in your story, without the use of shadow clones to fast-track his learning as he did with sage mode and wind chakra manipulation in canon, he'll be severely limited and fall behind the rest of the rookie 9. He could send a letter to Jiraiya if there's clone jutsu he could learn that requires more chakra, Jiraiya may even ask the toads to reverse summon him to Naruto's location to teach him the technique since he won't have the forbidden scroll. For the 2-year time-skip, Gaara and Naruto should be sent to Jiraiya to complete their shinobi training, Gaara may even connect with Temari and Kankuro if they can keep it hidden from their father. Part of that training could include training with Killer B to harmonize with their respective tenants.

With Obito actually dead in your story, then who actually controlled Kurama the night Naruto was born? It only makes sense with Obito/Tobi since Madara had died of old age around the time Rin was kidnapped and had the Sanbi sealed in her which would kill her and unleash it upon the village, forcing Kakashi to kill her by jumping in front of his Chidori which awakened the Mangenkyo in both he and Obito. Also, without Obito to carry out Madara's plans, who takes over the original Akatsuki and distorts their message, who controls Yagura the 4th Mizukage from the shadows with Kisame's help. Please don't actually have it be an immortal Madara still in his prime but weak.

Granted in canon, Kakashi was the only sensei that could teach Sasuke and when he learned that Naruto passed, he more than likely requested him because it was his sensei's son and he could finally attempt to do right by him, Sakura was an afterthought since they couldn't break the InoShikaCho and Kurenai wanted a tracking team which is why she has Hinata, Kiba, and Shino, so Sakura literally was the only one they could place with those two.

I can definitely see Gaara and Naruto, once they harmonize with Shukaku and Kurama, completely outclassing the majority of the One Piece characters, especially the Straw Hats. Luffy, once he fully awakens and becomes Joy Boy, will be equal to them or be just slightly stronger, until Naruto attains Toad Sage-Kurama Mode. Being a Toad Sage, he draws in natural chakra/energy from his surroundings and maintains an equilibrium so as not to turn into a toad statue. By drawing in that natural energy, that could potentially affect devil fruit users by drawing in the natural chakra of the vast seas.

Love you story, secomd time reading it and hope you continue. I honestly think that it's hilarious that Zoro getting lost can throw off all the experts of Konoha and not even be aware of it.

Loved the story thus far wish there was more

Oh my god, I couldn’t ask a more accurate portrayal of zoro, but this is perfect

You know... It kinda pisses me off. Jiraiya never visited Naruto once in his life, and now that Naruto's gone and happy, that Jiraiya wants him back in the hell known as Konoha.

zabuza is just giving sanji more insults

in that bottle breaking scene i was imagining Zoro freezing at the moment blocking all other sounds and then BOOM

here's my review Zoro's sense of direction is best Kakashi is a genius and the one piece is real

I love this story so much! I love the relationship between Zoro and the two boys, its just so wholesome and warms my heart to no end. Also Kurama and Shukaku being protective of the crew(especially Zoro) is just so adorable, i love it so much. This is certainly one of my favorite fics and if you decide to continue I'm definitely here for the whole ride, no matter how long it takes! Thank you so much for writing this masterpiece, i love you for it!

please update this story I want to know what happens next. this is my second or third time re-reading it and I want more. Maybe this time is my fourth time this week.

Zoro getting lost! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is a beautiful piece of writing! Ha haha ha ha ha ha ha! Thank you for your wonderful story!
