I really like this portrayal of Anko, the betrayed and hurting woman who uses a mask of sarcasm and toughness to hide behind. As far as the age difference, I see no problem with it. In our world people get involved with the same or greater age difference so I don’t un

Good chapter. I am hoping that Anko will love Naruto.

I have always loved Anko. I feel like Anko and Naruto would be a fantastic couple on account of how similar they are. Both have been through much hate , both are impulsive and fun loving.

I hope there is a sequel someday Author-Sama... :D

FINALLY, LEMON SCENE... :D

Damn Naruto, already pregnant!... :D

Dear God, I always imagined how adorable Anko-Chan would be when she is in love... :D

In all honesty this chapter feels unneeded. All of it can be condinced down to roughly three paragraphs, given that it's just rehashing cannon. If the whole story is this way, it will end up being such a waste of time and effort.

I know that the story was written like over 10 years ago at this point this comments more for me than for you. The plot was very interesting especially at first but the more I kept reading this the more I felt like I was hovering above the story instead of actually getting sucked into the story. A lot of the things that should have been dialogue felt like as if you're a writing a summary instead of a story. I initially really like the blacksmith character except we really never got well in depth into it. With Kiba Shino and Hinata when you were doing the introduction scene again it felt like you were just doing a summary instead of actually giving them dialogue. Also when you were revealing the inner feelings of his teammates it was one of those times where it was told instead of shown. Show outwardly how these teammates are feeling about Naruto instead of just telling us outright or give a specific time in the story for each of the characters instead of just randomly put three paragraphs together and say this is how they all feel about Naruto at this point in time.

The other issues I have with the story is with Anko herself I understand that sometimes you need to go a little bit OOC to create a dynamic between two characters but the character herself came off as really bland and any dialogue between her and Naruto didn't feel like genuine dialogue it felt like they were writing letters to each other instead having genuine conversations with each other. Also I know this is fanfiction and I shouldn't take it too seriously it's still a little bit weird that Anko is a 20 something year old lady who's starting to have a crush on a 13 year old boy. I wish the feelings between the two characters in a romantic sense would develop way later in the story instead of developing only like 6 months after they met. In the beginning they could have more of a family relationship and then maybe after sometime skipped (I don't know how the rest of the story goes) it changes in more to a romantic sense right now it just feels like she's grooming a young kid to be her boyfriend.

I unfortunately really can't get past chapter 9 because to me Naruto doesn't seem like the type of person who would get mad and reveal feelings to another person that he hasn't made a good connection with so even within your story it felt OOC with the little kid at Wave country.

Probably won't see this comment like I said this is more for my own sake if I ever come across the story again. Not too much issues as far as grammar spelling I think you're able to construct a very interesting narrative I just wish it was written in a very different way.

I liked it i think the battle fits this version of naruto perfectly and the fact he didn't come out unscathed shows how much improvement he still needs

Story is Good but Naruto is too weak, we are talking about the Naruto who one shoted an S class Criminal from the Akatsuki just by his Rasenshuriken with just 4 days training with his clones, he can't be weak at all if he trained for more than 6 months with shadow clones, he must be atleast Mid A class in Ranking. With Experience including for 6 months he should be atleast High A rank

You didn’t make him overpowered. More so you turned the battle into easy mode.

You are too biased against Sasuke.

The drawback from the gravity seal feels bs. Sasugay gets a magic hicky that boosts his power ten times, while Naruto gets two seals he had to study, understand and apply, that would help him gain strength, but cut his power to a lower level. When he releases his actual power in a fight he destroys his body. Seems BS.

The only fault with the story is your biased and unfair critisism and bashing of Sasuke, otherwise, it's one of the best Naruto fanfictions that I have ever read!
