sooo good, I absolutely loved the first one, and this continuation is great, too! I mean, I'm a bit unsure about how this would end, but it's a lot of potential:) I especially like how you characterize Naruto and how well he interacts with the people around him. Just you wait, Hanabi, you'll end up liking him despite yourself xD

Damn. A three year skip is where this one starts off apparently with no clear ship in sight. I was always upset that Naruto was never properly promoted. Hell Shikamaru was promoted despite the invasion during the exam and he LOST his fight. But apparently helping in the invasion was enough and his reasoning for just giving up was enough? Bullshit! That shit village just wanted to further sabotage Naruto's career, he won his fight and displayed a method of inspirational reasoning to his opponent THEN helped in the invasion by both keeping his comrades safe/alive AND defeating a fellow jinchuriki that had let out the bijuu without having to resort to the same method himself and refused to stop fighting until he literally couldn't move and somehow managing to keep damages in his fight to minimum even. But he's still a genin. He gets sent on special missions, high ranked missions, training with some of the most high profile ninjas that the village has, is placed in different team formations for his skills and/or abilities, has proved and demonstrated an ability to learn high level attacks quickly and utilize them effieciently, help saves at least one kage, any team he's part of never dies, and has a clear high power level that doesn't belong in a genin rank...but he never gets promoted. No because Konaha is filled with assholes they kept him at genin rank like that could stop him from getting more powerful until he managed to take the Hokage rank even when it was acknowledged that he was at jonin level or higher despite still being kept genin. At least Yugito and Naruto where pen pals but I'm a little confused over the tag thing. They were given tags but also told to get a tag or more without being told which kind they need to get. So all of the ones shown are making wired ass guesses on what they need while Naruto is the only one who's going: fuck that let's get one of each, and is inserting take a on top of that? How do the ones who supposedly not have the right tag know they don't have it? And how were the ones who tags where apparently already right know that it was? I see it's been years but maybe you'll finish this. I hope you do. But it's cool if you don't. But in case you do I'm faving this too. Also it hurt my heart to think in this story that he has a possible relative there to connect with and doesn't because he doesn't even know he's an actual Uzumaki thanks to that shit village he loves to much.

Any chance we'll be seeing an update for this?

Is it me or is it cowinsidental, tsunada drinking adict, Rakagee unorginizised, mizukage has issues finding love and tsu kage back probloms.
Its all kages

Interesting! I'm favoriting this. I look forward to more in the future, should you ever choose to continue it..

I just read this again after many years, and ...your omake zbout the Akatsuki was remarkably prescient given the laughable way the manga went :p

I'm reasonably sure you're never going to pick this up again, but on the off chance you're motivated to there is at least one person in the world who'd appreciate it.

I really do love this series :) it's very well written and has a humorous, well-thought-out plot. I really hope that you continue this fic someday!

plz update soon!what would happen now?

I know it's been a while, but I really love this story and I wish there were more of it.

Woot! Second story arc! (Dangit, I'm supposed to be doing real world stuff. How could you do this to meeee?!)

Dude seriously keep this story going, I love it

I know your alive, at least say that your not doing this anymore in the description or something, jeez, it's been like 8 years man! Like almost a decade! Seriously!

I just wanted to let you know that I adore this story. Your irrepressible Naruto is so much fun to read - hes so cunning and yet so oblivious!
I'm not certain whether you ever plan on continuing this story, but if you do I'm very keen to read the next chapter.

!

Why must the good die young? All the good stories just die...it's kinda depressing.

Hahahahaha! I love your snarky smart yet oblivious Naruto!
