this was neat

"Soft" style? What the hell is that?

I can only assume you mean one of those "internal" martial arts that don't actually work for shit when fighting. Tai Chi, Aikido, and all that nonsense.

Huh...not off to a good start here. Lot of silly fanon stuff with Uchiha elite and other nonsense...and now Sasuke is already a murderer?

Many sad. Much Hurt.

Man, when you said you had something badass in mind for that retard, I thought you meant it. Instead, he's a poorly written psychopath. You're a fucking idiot.

You know what? This fic is such a waste of my time. Precious time that I will never get back.

Which is what I would say if I were a senseless prick with no taste.
Your story is GREAT! I Freaking LOVE IT!
Your little psychological bits are great, and in my opinion, make perfect sense.

Some parts had me put out, but what is a good story without its tragedy, right?

Very interesting. A good read overall. I'm not gonna judge but it's easily one of the more descriptive stories on this site. Stark, and appealing, and yes, a leader that reflects the strength of Konoha. Finally. The image you painted for me mentally, that was really satisfying. I guess I don't have any gripes, you have enough of that from the others commenting, sure. Most of them are just butthurt that they didn't get what they expected. Seriously, my message to them would be, the Backspace key is there for a reason.

You don't like it? Write your own. Or as a ghost writer to write it out for you. Please don't take it out on the author. Works like these involve a great deal of effort, time, and creativity. Something that's lacking in today's young generation, mostly.

With that out of the way, I just have a few tips, that's all.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm pretty sure if you live as long as The Sandaime did, as a Ninja, even, then by that age he would have tremendous control over himself, his actions and words too. Just a slight bit of advice, your research was good, and your stats were balanced too, but I really do wish that you'd finish this. I never usually read incomplete works at all, but I've bookmarked the sequel, in the hopes that you stick with this. Maybe you'll get inspiration again. Just two letters to begin. AU. That's all it is. Hope you keep it up bud. You alright (cue The Rock smiling)

scratch the last comment, there's the real evaluation. I thought there will no interest Sakura .

This is a lot more fun than expected so far. Naruto seems slightly out of character (I'd expect him to do everything asked of him, but with more questions and complaining til he understands the point), but in general this is great.

It's also not what I was expecting. A lot of stories that go the "tell you exactly the truth about your current skills" take the route of demoralizing the fresh genin by impressing upon them just how much they suck and every little thing that's wrong with them from a maturity standpoint, etc. I've never been a fan of that even if it sometimes leads to a decent story once the set up is done.

This though... this is neat.

Okay I see a lot of problems with this stuff, since the first chapter. I decided to ignore it and since this fanfic is finished, I doubt it matters but this chapter pissed me off because it's too fucking convenient and you make these things fit just to move the plot, except it makes no fucking sense whatsoever. First of all, the temple thing. Yasha is not even a Leaf's ninja or at least he seem new to the village which makes me wonder how the fuck did he know where this temple at? On one hand you might say it's an Uzumaki shrine, surely every Uzumaki know where it's at, except that it is highly unlikely. Next you have this girl knowing the 2nd hokage forbidden technique which is most likely secretly hidden (like in the scroll of sealings probably) the only people who know it are Orochimaru and Kabuto in canon and Kabuto learned it from Orochimaru, as for how Orichimaru got it. He was once a leaf ninja not only that but he is obsessed with research and immortality. Knowing Orochimaru I can see how he knew the technique... however this Uzumaki who is from somewhere we don't even know, knows it? What the fuck kind of bullshit is that? You just put that in there just for Naruto to learn the Hiraishin (which also isn't necessary either) but it's whatever. The final convenience is Minato being related to the Senju bloodline. Oh for the fucking Lord sake. Minato is an orphan and even if he wasn't and knew this info you'd think people would make a big deal about him being from the Senju line since Tsunade was the only remaining one. I know this is called fanfiction and you can do what you want, but make it believable and not just some stupid shit just to fit the damn plot. I was going to drop this early on but decided to continue and give it another shot. I mean I also have other gripes about this, but this one just I don't even fucking know.

Oh I also forgot about the Shiki Fujin release. Man I don't know if I should even get started on that.

Fucking hell! I Just binged this entire story! i loved it so much i haven't slept! now, if you'll excuse me...i need sleep...

you should have made the kage position in to a dictatorship.
