I dont like the whole 'inner identity' crisis. But thats just me. At least your character isnt crying all the time with a 'poor me' attitude that plagues so many self inserts.

GOD DAMNIT THIS IS SO GOOD

update!

This fic is so good! I really like your Kushina, and the original!Kushina inside her giving colorful commentary on everything.

Purchasing bells, Kaka got trolled.
This is the first fic I read, but didn't commented.
Can't wait for more.

Before-Kushina is too mature. Its not that well thought out. But basically Kushina is immune to Yamanaka techniques, right? She has two personalities stuck in her head. One overly hostile and one very righteous.

I like Kushina. She is on the nice side of selfish. She's nice. Her thought process is also pretty good.

For a few moments, i thought before-Kushina was the one who was Itachi's sister. And a glimpse of a red haired fun loving woman. But Kushina is different. But probably in the honour of the red haired woman.

I liked Kakashi's PoV scene, it's always interesting to get insight into other characters' heads. The bell test was also fun, and I don't think I've read it solved by going out and purchasing bells before!

Quite interesting, can't wait for more.

Just so you know, FF ate your url in the Author's Note. Anti-spam measure. You have to put spaces in non-FF urls to keep the website from blocking it.

Still digging this AU, am very concerned about little Before-Kushina (and Before-Insert-Person as well, that whole dream was sketchy).

Very interesting. I like this a lot. Kushina's lack of trust in herself kind of annoys me but is interesting to read about! I like that Naruto here seems to not just be a mess of cliches but an actually logically thought out, fully fledged character.

Hinata being rude to Kakashi (you're late!) also shows some good things in the distance. I like the way Kushina treats her so thoughtfully, like when she was okay with staying where they were and eating there rather than the ramen place.

I can only think bad things are on the horizon what with original Kushina still there, but honestly, I hope they bond through the power of friendship instead. I guess I just want a happy end? (lol)

I'd be interested in being a beta you can bounce ideas off of! Tomorrow I'll send you a pm! My account name is the same as the one I'm using here, but I'm too tired today to log into my account, lol.

love it! Keep up the great work! I cannot wait to see how the sasuke/kushina pre-body snatching will play out!

Enjoyed this a lot. Cant wait to see what sakura's replacement is doing or who it is

Loved it so far. Will be interested to see who took Hinata's place in team 8. Also curious to see if Sakura will still have a central role in this. Why did her grades drop if I may ask?
