I don't care what people complain about, this is really great. I love how you change some parts about Canon, but I sincerely can't believe that Orochimaru is dead. He won't die that easily, not even against Jiraiya.

Itachi, obviously.

Honestly, this one is a gem.
I don't think Kakashi and Aiko fit in terms of romantic connection, there just isn't THAT kind of chemistry there. They are more like siblings. Or Kakashi is an uncle or something.
I would see Aiko with nobody too, or maybe a girl instead. Hinata or maybe even Ino or something, but we'd need to see. Hanabi?
Oh well. Just not Kakashi, I would think, unless... something drastically changes and we see more interactions.

Oof :P

You killed off Sakura and still taking offhanded shots at her? It's kinda hilarious, author.

So you bashed a normally major character a whole lot from the start, then killed her off. It's not a promising thing to do in any fanfiction, author, especially one featuring your own invention that almost seems crafted to replace her. It's not an indication of quality writing.

What's up with the sudden chapter naming?

You know obito was never hostile towards kakashi as you are making him out to be unless this is an au because I certainly remember the details manga with obito mentioning to kakashi that he knows he didn't intentionally kill rin but more so explained that the mist were using her to transport the sanbi to konoha so it could attack them but rin realized what they did to her and used kakashi to commit suicide

"Am I cursed?" Nah you are just retarded if you would just start actually teaching them situations like this would be less likely to happen :0 seriously kakashi didn't teach them anything at all hell by the time shippuden rolls around jiraiya only taught naruto how undo genjutsu and make his rasegan bigger but nothing else ...it's almost as though everyone's growth on team 7 that isn't sasuke are being intentionally stunted

Doesn't look to be going anywhere she doesn't know shit too bad she isn't sasuke if she was kakashi would actually put some effort into teaching her

So hiruzen getting his backbone when he really doesn't need it? Well that isn't anything new lol but he'll bend once it's danzo speaking to him... He always does

Okay I’m the kitty reviewer, I got confirmation of kitty the next chapter and was overjoyed and then kitty disappeared so there’s that. But there’s also the problem of this ending. :) I am too emotional.

I miss kitty :( where did that stupid little street cat go?

honestly amazing story. sakura by all means should have just died during wave. like it's sheer plot armor that team 7 minus naruto WAS NOT wiped out during the haku and zabuza fight. they were so outclasses and even kakashi got so nerfed it's not even funny.

ignore the idiots who made bad reviews below

Imagine using this arc to make changes to the future? Past? Present?... Anyhow change the status quo. yea that sounds right. Right?
