A fun chapter as always lots of lore and story and a fun trip though the story while being different enough to not be samey

That was a good chapter. Can’t wait for the next. I’m curious to how you going to do this next chapter lol

ok you have Kakashi team 8. but why are they team 8? team 7 had been a tradition since Kakashi's great grandteacher... Minato, Jiraiya, Hiruzen, Tobirama. great great grandteacher!

I just realized something about that episode that somehow evaded me every time I've seen this scene before.
Luffy's Rubber Devil Fruit makes him immune to electricity.
Seastone completely nullifies Devil Fruit powers.
Luffy's restraints were made of Seastone.
Yet somehow he was completely uninjured after being struck by lightning.

or was it just Buggy's sword that was struck by lightning?

also, are you trying to say that only bladed weapons are capable of developing souls?

OMG I'm so honored! Thank you for the shout out.

actually my guess we Mohmoo. just because they could send him there after dealing with Arlong.
but Gyuki makes more sense, since he would be old enough for a region to create legends about.

Desert Prince, does Vivi have a little sister that will be attracted to the morbid, slightly less homicidal than before, little boy.

Good job keep it up

Catchy title. I like it.

Man, Gaara is this chapter is no unbelievably adorable, all bundled up for winter and going crazy for Chopper's warm fur coat! Please, is you can sketch out these images and upload them on Deviant Art, or reach out to someone who can?

Chopper joining the crew felt a little...hollow. Measured with the other events you've written earlier he did have an important role but it all felt like ticking-off a box instead of deeper impacts that Sanji, Pudding, Zoro, Naruto, Gaara, Ussop and Nami have been given.

The backstories for the Biju in Alabasta and Elbaf were amazing.

Hope your safe and healthy, and I'm eager for the next chapter.

I'm so glad to see this update.

I'm loving the exploration of the Biju's past. To see what they've done and how they've changed. And I'm curious to see what they did that made them be worshipped.

In regards to Gaara vs Crocodile. I'm thinking that the sand control granted by a fragment of a god like being would be superior to sand control from a fruit.

Great chapter I knew TheDonner Party was a reference to cannibalism but I never looked up the details , thanks for sharing.

Man I love this story, so many great lines. I'm glad you did drum I one chapter and I can't wait for Alabasta and it's many animal inhabitants that Gaara can cuddle.

Dude, things really got pretty crazy her one spades! Loved it!

Is no one gonna talk about how dark the ending to the chapter was?

Thanks for the great update! Been waiting awhile for it! Loved Gaara's reaction to Chopper.
Keep it up!

Why is Naruto named first in the tag? That spot belongs to the protagonist of the story, in this story Zoro or arguably even Gaara get more focus than Naruto, you yourself admitted that you have to stop yourself from having Gaara steal Naruto's spotlight in one of your future chapters.

This is false advertising - kinda. People who search for Naruto-centric stories will have this one show up on their search results despite not being a Naruto based story.

Are more accurate tags would be Zoro, Gaara and Naruto.
