I know you're American, but "I could care less" makes ZERO sense. It should be "I couldn't care less".

Good chapter and story. I agree with your reasoning for what your doing in the story. Can't wait for the next chapter of this story.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as every plan surviving contact with the enemy, so it was only logical that Guren realized this.
I like the idea of more developed characters. I was always bothered by what they did with Karin. So knowing that she might become an expert in sensors, medical ninjutsu, and chain use alongside fuinjutsu already makes me happy.
The timeframe is good. If Naruto is strong and has managed to strengthen himself in just two years to the level he is at, if given more time, he'll become even more terrifying.
And I really like how he expressed his opinion about how badly Hiruzen did things. I seriously don't know what the man was thinking, much less with his grandson. Is there going to be a Naruto-Konohamaru encounter? Because that doesn't seem like it's going to end well at all. And who would have thought Hiruzen would have problems with his father?
Thanks for the chapter, I'm looking forward to the next one.

That is alot of development for this chapter. I wonder if/when Saratobi will try to talk with Naruto to "check-up on him", I honestly wonder what his motive is as if whether he really has become too soft or if there's something else entirely?

The story offers an intriguing look at Naruto's growth and evolving respect for Sasuke, highlighting their complex rivalry and the development of their skills. The dialogue feels natural and provides insight into their characters, making the reader appreciate the depth of their relationship.

Glad this was revived

Well damn... didn't expect to see this updated.
I really hope that White gets updated soon! Personally for me its one of the best Bleach fanfics out there and there is still a lot of story to go through specially the harem!

I thought the limit for Raijin was if you haven't been there, you have to go line of sight.
And since Iwa is unlikely to invite Kiiroi Senkō over for ramen...

Thanks! I loved all your greatest chapters :)
Hope read you soon and hope you’re well and healthy

Greetings

Great chapter and good story. Eager to read more.

im caught up now , i really like the path your going , not sure about the root stuff but i can understsnd it i imagine its still going to backfire for Mr one eye but at least they can be folded into normal anbu and youve done a good job to expand on the charrcters im looking forward to more

Can't wait for more post soon

i mean realistically he could bring back one or both parents like he did Tobi if he had the dna in ghost form even for a bit , it would probably do wonders for his mental health long term , also looking forward to him telling the Third some of what he has learned and who by i think he would be happy

i went from "NO! Anko's in Root?!" to "HOLY SHIT, Danzo is wingmanning for Naruto x Anko?!" real quick. even if it is for his own plans i hope it works out, thats gotta be one of my top ships.

Welcome back!

Are you perhaps thinking along the lines of Oozaru, Golden and SSJ4 for Naruto becoming a full fledged 9 tailed fox and then combining it perfectly with sage mode to regain his human form way down the track?
