I actually looked it uo and turns out Mei is the first female kage

Why didn't he just let himself be reverse summoned? This wasn't Nagato and Jiraiya didn't need to figure out a way to beat them for the village.

I'm rather surprised that Naruto still doesn't know who his parents were. Iirc, Hiruzen had planned to do so when Naruto became a chunin.

I think you are using Japanese suffixes wrong I do not believe they use the Chan suffix for men

Itachi is making a lot of clones in this chapter.

This is cool, promoting Naruto to chunin and making him actually have some sense.

This fanfic is, frankly, amazing! I'm kinda sad that you didn't continue it, but you've written so much that it's totally worth the read even though it's incomplete. I really enjoyed reading this, in fact I binged it in like 2 days haha
Thanks so much for writing it! And if you ever decide to finish it, know that I'll happily come back and re-read it (hell I'll probably do that anyway)

naruto is whipped!

naruto is WHIPPED

Very good story.
Enjoyed from start up to and including this chapter.
Needs updating.

Hmmm, ok everything is good so far...but where the fuck is Rei!?

Sometimes it's funny to me that ninjas that are Naruto's age can't drink alcohol.

I mean come on! if you can kill, then you can drink, gamble and whatever!

well, this fic stopped being updated 7 years ago. I thought I had sorted by completed but I guess I misclicked. was really enjoyable to read but it's

he goes through training that *none* of the Sennin were able to complete and is only considered *Kakashi level* what the fuck? he goes through a training regime that kage level ninja were worried about and isn't even close to S rank? Don't get me wrong, Kakashi is strong but he certainly isn't S rank, and on a side note, you have Jiraiya supposedly going through insane torture by the top in kusagkure without a peep, but when someone titled as *junior* interrogator tries shit, he makes vocal sounds of pain?

I think you got Naruto's stats wrong here? it is repeatedly shown and stated that Naruto is stronger than both Sasuke and Gaara, after learning some stuff and maturing a little, but you put him below those two, and equal in ninjutsu? he has created his own techniques and knows more jutsu than sasuke who just relies on great fireball and chidori, and Gaara uses no jutsu, just sand manipulation where he does little tricks that he has named, and his chakra control has to be a lot higher than 2.5, *genin*, to master the rasengan, fly with chakra, etc. and sasuke has a whole 1 point higher in Bukijutsu when he doesn't even use any weapons other than standard kunai? Naruto is the one using a sword frequently learning from another chuunin, and he has "academy" level skill at it? and he has a genin level total, as a chuunin able to fight *above* his level? and I'm pretty sure Naruto's stat spread and total were *higher* in previous chapters *before* a lot of the training, this whole thing goes against pretty much the entire premise of the fic.
