Pretty good story, but once more it's abandoned over a decade ago at a cliff hanger. All your stories are like that which is unfortunate

As a seasoned reader of fanfiction, it's rare to encounter a story that not only captures the essence of the original material but transcends it, offering a fresh and intellectually stimulating experience. The fanfiction you've created does exactly that, and more. It's a treasure among countless others, a brilliant gem that shines with the creator's profound understanding and passion for the Naruto universe.

From the outset, your narrative gripped me, holding my attention with an ironclad grasp that didn't relent until the final word. Your concept is innovative, offering a perspective that is both refreshing and deeply thought-provoking. It's evident from your storytelling that you possess a deep-seated knowledge of the Naruto lore, which you've skillfully woven into your narrative, enriching the story without overwhelming it.

Your writing style is exceptional, characterized by its clarity, fluidity, and ability to convey complex emotions and themes with finesse. It's a style that speaks of a mature intellect, one that understands the subtleties of storytelling and character development. This understanding allowed me to immerse myself fully in your world, experiencing the highs and lows alongside the characters, and feeling a profound connection to their journeys.

The joy and solace I found in your story came at a time when I needed it most. Fanfiction, in its essence, offers an escape, a sanctuary for those seeking comfort in the familiar yet craving new adventures. Your story provided that in abundance, offering a beacon of light during a tumultuous period. For that, I am immensely grateful.

Although it has been some time since you last updated your work, I felt compelled to express my appreciation for the masterpiece you've shared with us. It's a testament to your skill and dedication as a writer, and while you may not see this review, please know that your story has touched someone deeply. Thank you for the unforgettable experience, and for reminding me why I fell in love with fanfiction in the first place.

Sincerely,
Another Economist

I'm so sad this hasn't been continued, this is one of my favorites Naruto fabrics and definitely my favourite akastsuki Naruto one by a landslide... not counting some individual/ex akastsuki member Naruto fics but I think this might still be the best even if I do include them!

Sasuke doesn't have enough hatred, he still has to live an unsightly life

damn that was rad a bit rocky in the beginning switching through the gears but it came together after the first meeting of kyuubi madara & peanut gallery
and it came together quite beautiful you put in a lot of thought and im quite regretful that i could only read up to chapter 12.

i do like the idea of naruto actually joining Akatsuki especially with conan in the mix who is basicly yearning for a family and i did like the writing very much in the first 1/3 of the chapter

but contrary to your claims your precision with terms and timelines could use some work...
"The Third Great Ninja War had only finally ended a little over a year before with the cease-fire signed between Konoha and Kumo. Even that had taken the sacrifice of Hyuuga Hizashi to cement." imo your mixing up ceasefire and alliance/nap

naruto is one year older than hinata... hinata got kidnapped between the ages of 3 and 4... and at the time sarutobi is saying this naruto is selfadmittedly 4.5 and the event should have happened ~1 year before?
also your saying that the open war continued for ~4 years after the kyuubi attack and the 4th death but it was at the victory celebration minato knocked up kushina...
in fact one of the very few conversations we saw from her mentioned that she used the period of relative peace to have her child...

so yeah your mixing up ceasefire and nap
cease fire- open war ends
nap - peace is enforced.

What a shame this was never finished

i hope that the reason the story is abandoned is because you're dead.

please don't put your personal feelings into the story. it's clear you greatly dislike neji, so you write naruto giving this long speech about how neji is disgusting. as this is totally out of character for the naturo you have written, this is clearly a mouthpiece for your own fustrations. don't do that. it breaks the immersion of the story.
disappointing.

Probably the best akatsuki naruto fic out there, shame it's unfinished. nice job

Freaking love this story

For once Danzo is right to be pissed off. I don't know if anyone realizes, but Naruto is the ONLY Jinchuriki who wasn't told of his status. Hell, he didn't start training with Kurama's chakra until he was thirteen.

Why aren't you updating?

The last chapter was a little much with the Neji fight, but this was really well done. This is far and away the best Akatsuki story on this site. It's a shame that you stopped writing but I do hope the bug bites you again and you return. Thanks for the story.

What the hell
