I like your writing, and Danzo's end. To see he's alive after bugs me, as does that magnificent cliffhanger.

Refraction25 chapter 9 . 3/27/2023

Little-Red711 chapter 3 . 2/3/2023
I feel like it is really stupid to learn jutsu's that are signature to certain people that haven't been taught to anyone and is just setting himself up to be sent to T&I and getting executed
Kido Kage chapter 9 . 2/2/2023
Don't Listen to Episoidal or shortmike24 You are doing the right thing. Danzo is a worm that needs to be eradicated Information is nice and is only reliable to a certain extent. Hell the whole point of SI stories is to derail from Cannon and become the protagonist of the story instead of the actual one, If someone has the power to do something and they actually want to do it, then they simply should doing the opposite would be the height of foolishness Itachi in cannon pretty much had to do the Latter despite his wisdom he was only 13 back then. Looking at Mc's situation here you made the right call, situation only gets complicated when people make them complicated, Despite danzo's so called love for his village the brat had always been envious of the Uchihas and their potential due to sharingan at the end of the day he was a Greedy Bastard even worse than Orochimaru. In this story you wanted Uchihas to live so you had MC save them was it the wrong call? absolutely the Fuck not(ATFN). you want to save some characters from death and darkness is it wrong? again ATFN THE WHOLE point of any life is to live with fewer regrets as possible even more so for the SI's Just Look at stories like Invictus, and Yami the Gamer Kage these stories are the definition of SI making right choices most of the time but still making choices that they regret.

At the end of the day any SI is the reflection of their Author and you sir have proven yourself to be a Sly person with a heart of gold and i truly hope your character stays this way. As i had said earlier don't listen to Episoidal or Shortmike24 those 2 idiots probably live on more drugs than drugs itself that goes more for Shortmike24 atleast Episoidal seems somewhat reasonable Shortmike is equivalent of deranged Itsuki from Shield hero Fics.

danielkid50 chapter 9 . 5/11/2022
Nice ending. I reread this but there is no next chapter :(
Guest chapter 9 . 3/14/2022
A very good self insert story. Very little self nerfs for no reason which usually makes the mcs seem retarded and not godlike for no reason either. I like it a lot.
Amun565 chapter 9 . 2/18/2022

Big fan of this story
Agent Frank chapter 7 . 12/22/2021
Insane chapter, the closer I am too finishing this the sadder I'm that there's been no update in so long.
Agent Frank chapter 4 . 12/22/2021
Great chapter, it was pretty cool to see how he's slowly but steadily changing things (even if it's inadvertent)

WTF HES ALIVE!?
Episoidal chapter 1 . 10/2/2021
I have two major issues regarding this story:

1. Your narrative is nonexistent. Utilizing steam of consciousness and lackadaisically treating any happenings in the plot as you would with a grocery list doesn't make for a good or proper story. The audience does not care about your nonsensical thoughts concerning canonical matters that nearly every reader in this particular fandom already knows- as the central premise of your story is not original. The plot of the story and the construed tone dictated by exact vocabulary and thematical presentation are far more important aspects of any story, yet you completely ignore these crucial components in favor of sporadically jotting down your thoughts that hold no significance or relevance whatsoever. We don't care about your opinions on the Hyuga or the Uchiha or the Senju or the Uzumaki or any of the lore; what we care about is your direct actions in response to said lore. Additionally, it is highly recommended to not share every single plan of action you intend on performing because for one, suspense is a very good motivator in spurring the audience to continue on reading your story, and two, it sounds redundant in repeating your actions when your thoughts have already been accounted for paragraphs beforehand; if you write 'I'm going to walk there' followed by 'I walk there,' all you fundamentally accomplished is telling the audience that you don't understand continuity or the basic rules of storytelling.

2. I disagree with the choices made by the main character on how he should proceed with canon. He shouldn't change canon. At all. Knowledge is crucial in a setting such as the Naruto-verse. The main character should have realized that Naruto and Sasuke do bring peace after the Fourth Shinobi War concludes, and any attempts at influencing any canonical character who does play a role in the Naruto storyline could change the final outcome- meaning that rather than most Shinobi-kind living in harmony after the defeat of the Juubi and Kaguya, the latter could have won and brought the end of the world. It doesn't matter how Naruto is treated when he was a child. It doesn't matter how traumatized and in need of help Sasuke is. It doesn't matter how many canonical characters seemingly need assistance or another friend to lean on. That shouldn't be the main character's role regardless because unlike the main character, those canonical characters already have been predestined to do certain things as a result of the written Naruto storyline. Empathy and selflessness in a character isn't a bad thing, but it is horrendously criminal to do so when the inhabitants of an entire world is at stake and you don't understand the sheer consequences of your actions. This isn't to suggest that the 'ends justify the means' but to strongly advise to not focus on a single tree in lieu of the continents of forests that are guaranteed to exist if no actions are committed to. The end goal, the ideal goal specifically, is for Naruto and Sasuke sealing Kaguya and ushering in peace for all Shinobi villages. You know the final, desirable outcome. You know the means and how for the outcome. Don't change any of it because your inflated sense of moralistic ego convened with your belief of entitlement over the lives of billions, and triumphed over reason and common sense in the deadly wake of ignorance.
