I hope you take some liberties for the war arc, seeing it animated is awesome but I hope you can have the captains and others be a bit more not powerful but less stupid. If that makes sense.

Aizen and Yoko walk the same path. Imagine the chaos

Really love this story so far and cannot wait to see it updated again

I'm still on my third read thru of Eyes, and at the same time I'm reading Bleach again, tell me Might Guy and Isshin Kurosaki wouldn't make a great comedy Duo HAHA. (the way Isshin interacts with his son in first few volumes and well Guy.) HAHA

Sorry for the late review and not so constant reviews per chapter.

Your story still great and this chapter was great!

Huh? Rangiku and Gin are going to be unofficial students to Jiraiya...That will explain their growth because Jiraiya always trains students that become powerful and achieves/creates changes in society. Rangiku being a Lieutenant and Gin being a Captain...

But I hope Gin really does NOT go with Aizen and Tousen, just so he can take his shot at Aizen and fail while breaking Rangiku heart with him dying.

Huh? I wonder if Jiraiya will teach Gin and Rangiku the 'Rasengan' technique or Fuinjusu or Kido.

Manda being Jiraiya summons was a surprise; but I like it...I kind of hope Manda develops his own unique Spirit Pressure that makes Shinigami and Arrancar or Quicy hesitant because Manda is a Apex Predator and was NEVER Human. Still, I can read Manda using similar skills/ninjutsu of his last life, BUT he could take some Hollow ideas like Cero given his experience with Tailed-Beasts/Bijuu.

Itachi love life great and yet itis hard to figure out what comes next. I guess Itachi with Shisui are going to deal with Clan Drakken against Soul Society...Itachi and Jiraiya are going to do whatever they can to help their friend and fine ANOTHER clue on mystery/possible Shinobi behind the scene's; where they realize more danger and perhaps even Aizen Sosuke.

Is that big stretch for Manda to acquire or simulate Hollow moves like Cero, Garganta, or High-Speed Regeneration?

Can we expect Aizen Sosuke to be approached by these mysterious/dangerous individuals that are Shinobi, but Aizen discovers that these mystery individuals have some similar Characteristics that remind him of Jiraiya and Itachi Uchiha?

Will the Drakken Clan go extinct or be expelled from Soul Society and will Visaelya join her family or be saved?

Keep up the good work and thanks for the update!

I'm still wondering why Itachi is so dense, don't get me wrong he didn't socialize too much when he became a rogue min but before that he was Basically Premium version Sasuke, that means fangirls, fangirls and girls interested in him. He didn't take long at the academy but even one year is enough to know what girls blushing near him means so why is he wondering "I'm blushing? Why?" Like he never see that happened or that never happened to him.

Interesting. Good writing, and also good characterization.

Despite, how come they are hollows in the Soul Society? Hollows only appear in the world of the living unless someone is doing hollowification experiments in the Soul Society.

I can already tell the ships. I find it hard to believe Itachi is someone who would be so star struck to call someone a goddess. Would have been better for their relationship to develop organically instead of being laid on so thick.

Great story so far

First off, I just want to say congrats on your story's five-year anniversary.

I loved Jiraiya's clash with Manda. Watching the legendary Sannin duke it out with one of the strongest serpents in Naruto was a sight to read and I am very much looking forward to seeing Manda in action again at his full potential.

I also liked the way you introduced Gin and Rangiku to the story. Part of me is really curious to see how things will turn out for them after meeting Itachi and Jiraiya—especially Gin. Hopefully, Jiraiya will be able to influence things for the better.

In any case, it looks like things are heating up on the political side of things. I can only imagine how intense things are going to get in future chapters.

Also, nice job introducing Yoruichi's wild cat form.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

this chapter was ok, but im starting to feel that these chapters are entirely becoming more of an overly drawn out exposition of shitty filler more than anything tbh. I like the writing of this story and overall presentation of most of the main characters here, but i still cant stomach the fact that you've basically taken away almost every important aspect of shinobi life away from jiraiya and itachi and just about any naruto character that seemingly makes an appearance here with so far the exception of shisui (who btw seems way to fucking weak for just a 10th seat as well, especially if he STILL has the goddamn sharingan), and not even in a relatively balanced or good way either. The structure of powers in naruto work very similar to bleach in the terms of chakra and spiritual energy. Chakra is literally another variation of spirit energy and although their souls now and are adjusting to a new form of spiritual energy, it doesn't make any goddamn sense why they wouldn't already be able to innately access at least SOME of their former abilities when they were two of the most talented and strongest ninja to ever exist in their own world...and I get that this is a slow burn or what not, but jesus christ this just feels like a fucking monologue at this point, where's the change of pace coming? Why is it every other chapter so far, is just constantly drawn out bouts with weak ass hollows or overly obnoxious interactions with other characters? I also am starting to get a vibe that you've made yoruichi into a bit of a hoe show here as well, with how you seem to overly portray her carefree attitude when it comes to her flashing people, shes still a noble and still has restrictions and customs on how to act like one, so why not make her more serious at times or at least not so goddamn whorish at times? None of that so far feels like its important to the story and its tiring as hell. When are we gonna get to see itachi and jiraiya ACTUALLY be as powerful as they should be, at this point skimming through chapters is the only logical sense here because this is way to drawn out for just the beginning of the story.

ok so i am liking this story to an extent so far, and i do find the dynamic of itachi being sent to soul society and learning the shinigami arts alongside jiraiya on top of that, to be especially cool and is great and very fun to read at times, but i cant help but feel as if you've severely handicapped and watered down the fuck out of itachi as far as his overall power goes. His sharingan is an innate part of his being regardless of his supposed struggle with using it in the past, and while it might be deemed as his curse, rather than just completely taking it away, it should still be instinctually inherent to him and also he should be able to change its power and usage and only use it against his enemies or to his advantage when necessary, i also am finding quite a bit of distaste in yoruichis overly flamboyant and sometimes highly over dramatic personality here. There's seemingly no balance to her personality as most times it just feels like shes dialed up to fucking 100 at all times, i would much rather see her become more mellowed out in future chapters or at least be a lot less obnoxious here tbh. I love yoruichi and shes one of my favorite characters, but this definitely does way too damn much even for her. Im also REALLY hoping to see some shinobi abilities retained for both jiraiya and itachi here because like i said before it just feels completely unnatural and ridiculous to have them not be able to access ANY of their past teachings as ninjas. That would make this story highly difficult to read imo. They cant just forget about their past and not know how to access their old powers, and it wouldn't make sense for you to make them give up their old styles of fighting entirely either, i know they are shinigami now, but they still have massive skillsets that should still be shown and used inherently since they are still shinobi at heart anyway.

This story is by far one of the best on this site. There is nothing more to say.

Feels like Jiraiya should've had more of a reaction to Dan

I must have missed this one somehow lol. So please ignore most of my last review. It would have been cool to see Yoruichi's and Itachi's reactions to seeing the portrait/s of the Lady of Midnight and her companions. It would be interesting to know how they all looked back then. I am assuming that the arena that they fought in may have been the one where they were defeated during the Old Kingdom. That would be interesting if something showing that managed to survive their battle. Yoko sending Yoruichi her findings of this as well as a 'burn after seeing' copy portrait of the Lady and Companions.

I just found your story a few days ago and just finished binge reading it and I just gotta say I'm in love with this story you have going and I look forward to reading more. While you said the incident with Gin, Rangiku and Aizen still happens if Gin still joins him please make it be more of a spying role, Gin truly cares for her maybe even loves her and he shouldn't die because of that. Anyway I look forward to reading more of your story.
