i think either way u do it will be fine but, i dont really like alot of flashbakcs or really big ones so my vote is write the years hes growing up if it gets to be too much u could stop and go to when he returns and do some little flashbacks or something. on a totally different topic here i think u r an AMAZING author with ur naruto stories one of the best ive seen on here and i have read over 100 so far and the ones i found that have good stories like u they abandon them and u havent done that yet im currently reading like 3 of ur stories. small question is oroteme gonna betray them and still be all sinister like always or he gonna stay good?

Hey, great idea, anyway, I think you should have one chapter dedicated to flashes of training, then straight to Konoha in the next chapter, as it will make the training easier to understand, and it will also make it easier on you.

Again, great idea, and update as soon as you can.

I see a lotta potential in this. You really did a nice job of handling th three sannins together and etc. I really hope u continue this

good, interesting choice from Sarutobi's first name

best ideas do always come up while gaming

muses are funny that way

nice idea btw

you took a somewhat used idea and refined it into something original

so job job there d

some problems

well the term sannin means "The Three"

Naruto being part of the Sannin..well they really can't be called sannin anymore

(please also remember that it is a title, not a rank)

Second, as surprising as it is, the Third Hokage's first name is Sasuke

thus- Sarutobi Sasuke Sandaime

just a little odd fact

I always thought being a Sannin was cooler than being Hokage

Sannin meant

-you were kage lelev in ability

-you could leave the village anytime you wanted, that means lots of traveling, and teaveling broadens your horizens

- and finally, little to no paperwork

update soon

Id like to hear about his training too. What he trains in and how orchi is not evil and how orchi helps him and stuff. And make Orchi find a woman. Because in my mind hes still a sick bastard ..

go thourgh years

This story has a lot of potencial.

Try doing a bit of both...alternating maybe? Or just give us a general thing of what he's done along the way.

Either way is fine.

Well, this looks interesting.
