Wassup dog? Nice to see you've started this one, and I can tell it's going to be pretty kick-ass already. You've proven to be a good author in the past, so I'll trust you to keep it up. )

I'd like to see Naruto stop wearing the bright orange within the next 1-2 days as he realizes that the villagers' opinions of him don't matter. It would actually be pretty unique and relavent to decide that he doesn't care what people think of him, and thus is loose with his classmates on his status as the Kyuubi's container. Logic would dictate that it's better to mention it upfront and it's only his fear of their reactions that keeps him from doing so.

The law was made to protect him, so I can't see why he couldn't break it himself. Additionally, the rookie 12 would be unlikely to take any offense to his status because they never experienced the attack 1st hand. It would be more detached considering their lack of personal involvement.

Anyways, good job.

Peace,

Good good, I was at first worried you would try to skirt the issue of Zetsu's eating habits, but I can see that will not be the case.

I like what you have done with his past, as honestly those were about the early guesses of his origin, and am also interested to see that Zetsu is not entirely comfortable with himself, being unable to accept his plant nature.

I am glad to see yo are able to utilize the duality of Zetsu rather well, and seem to capture how they work together (or not, as the case may be). As just a little tidbit from me (one you are more than welcome to ignore, but par the course I shall offer aid when I can) I feel Black Zetsu would be far more reluctant to speak to others, other than himself.

It was interesting to see Zetsu argue the logic of his belief vs what he was going to do. I am also very interested to see just HOW Zetsu came to be what he is, and I can only assume it was an accident that something to do with botany.

Happy birthday, and looking forward to your next update!

Great start. Loved the interaction between Naruto and Zetsu, particularly Black Zetsu's snide remarks. Even though you didn't mention it directly, I'm assuming Zetsu can use mokuton (things like controlling the vine), and we'll see his own history later on.

Glad to see more of your work, I loves the last story :) can't wait to see how this one develops

Great start! I like this version of Zetsu better than the canon one, just making him a clone of the first hokage seemed kind of lame (since for whatever reason, no one seems to have any trouble getting the guy's DNA). I'll be interested how his teaching change Naruto's interactions with people, especially the Hokage and Kakashi, assuming you stick with the canon teams of course. I look forward to more!

This story...was beyond my expectation. I fact I believe the first chapter is better then The living cost. I believe that this story will be more interesting then the previous. Keep it up I love it and update soon.

An excellent start, keep up the great work!

Very Good .

Fantastic start. I hope this story becomes as good as Cost of Living.
