Just reread this story and remembered why I loved it so much. I hope life is treating you well and that you'll have some time soon to return to this story. Best!

I hope your still working on this. its an interesting read. and would suck to not be able to get the rest of the story :O

Man, from all that suspense to go to Ibiki's lair... and it's been a whole year TT

He kept the Hiruzen's - He kept Hiruzen's

It seems a bit contrived to have Naruto's behavior so perfectly fit what he would be like if he grieved over Kushina, fooling the people around him, but then again Naruto has always had the devil's own luck 'shrugs'.

the student's - the students

the word spun - the world spun

then?Everything - then? Everything

interlocutor? doesn't seem like a word Naruto would use, too formal.

wantto - want to

her sword cleaved upwards - her sword shot upwards
(to avoid repeating 'cleaved', also the word's meaning doesn't make sense in this context)

slinging out - throwing out
(another word repetition)

was exactly as crazy of a person - was crazy enough (felt a bit clumsy)

fell back to her kekkei genkai - fell back on her kekkei genkai

"...if all of this is a scheme on your part, I'll kill you myself, and it won't be quick."
"If I ever intentionally harm Konoha, I'll let you do it"
that's one of the most cliched and ham-fisted bits of conversation ever, it is simply done to death, Sarutobi at least should have left it implied, to show a bit of subtlety, or perhaps you could have averted the cliche by giving a very different answer than above to the death threat.
(If you think about it, the stock answer doesn't even make sense, if it came to pass that he harmed Konoha, Naruto would most likely either be in a state of mind where he wouldn't even care, or he would do it for some greater good that would cause less harm in the long term, in neither case would he be likely to offer himself up to be killed)

A thousand picked toads?
Did you mean pickled toads? Still nonsensical, but at least feels vaguely like a curse

Gold and Silver brothers?
I had to google it to understand reference, I think it's a bit too obscure for the average reader to throw out without creating a bit more context

to relaxed - to relax

half a threat - half the threat

bits an pieces - bits and pieces

seen though - seen through

gave startled Naruto - gave a startled Naruto

So is there any hope for an update?

Honestly; besides the introduction and first chapter I havent been able to garner interest in this story. To me it seems dull and flat. Unfortunately I can not pinpoint what exactly is missing from the story.

This fic is absolutely amazing!

…such cliff, much sadness.

I'll willing wait the time of there will be another update. This is different, and I like different. If I didn't have to be up in four and a half hours, I'd leave a lot German comment.

For now, I'll say Naruto was very lucky that Konohamaru has the same first initial as Kushina. And that everything is amazing.

I have faith in Naruto and hope he continues to do well in his new role.
