Well, it does explain things even if it's a bit of a coup out. But I can deal with it since it keeps the character in character. The twins though... I hope they are just evil. Too many times they are manipulated or under orders like Itachi, etc. Since Orichimaru is good it would be nice to have a pure evil character in the supposed heroes.

Awesome job with this chapter nicely done

Flipping and kicking down on someones shoulder knocks them down not away.

Basically this story is like every other naruto neglect fiction, lots of angst combined with retarded character and story logic.

Wow, first time I read a story where it was literally the Old Toad that caused the family to fall apart. Although the question still remains on why it had to be Naruto that had to be hated, along with if it was the genjutsu, kyubi, or a mixture of both, that had a hand in the twins being spoiled rotten.

Along with if Jiraiya being ex-communicated was the sage's way of covering his tracks. To where after hearing about Naruto doing so well on his own, while the twins start to become the destroyers of the world, even hearing about the serpents, that he was hoping to avoid being held accountable for his actions.

In some ways, I hope you have both Tsunade and Orochimaru call out their summons, in order to get more info on serpants, along with anything else that Naruto hasn't told them. Even hearing about how far the Great Toad Sage has taken things, that the summons don't seem to be fully surprise that a prophecy was involved.

Anyway, I hope you bring in Kakashi in to have a chat with Minato and Kushina. To where he noticed a few things during his time as their sensei, things that Kushina could have missed, and reveal the things that both parents would need to know in the future.

so finally the toads received their punishment.

Hmmm... Great chapter overall but I was hoping that the toad sage would give his thoughts about the fact that due to his actions Narutos siblings have joined the dark side. Was this part of his plan to 'save the shinobi world'? Because if it is, it makes me wonder if the toad sage was part of the antagonist organizarion?

Love it.
Great update as always.
I can't wait what happens next.

Love the new chapter:)

You lost me. Why can’t anyone give Naruto a normal katana?

If that 'Hammer slash' is harmful to the user then wtf did he use it? I mean based on how the fight went. It sort a obvious that the hammer slash seems pretty unnecessary and that the effect would still be the same of he did a normal slash...

He's practically just showing off and i sort of dislike it cause it's unnecessary.

The best part about this fanfic, in my opinion, is the balance in levels. Naruto is super overpowered, yes, but that's the point of this fanfic. I was talking more. about how the 3 Kages couldn't beat whats-his-name that Naruto had to defeat. It truly shows how strong Naruto, including the Shinigami's Blade's, power. It's very well balanced on that point, but the random power-gaining-timeskips are VERY often that I have a hard time keeping a good gauge of Naruto's power. That or I read too fast. Could be both, but who knows?

love it.
great update as always.
I can't wait what happens next.
great to have back on this story.

Interesting chapter.

Good to see Yakumo give Hinata a wake-up call, since she would have become another Tsunade, and for what its worth, sometimes harshness is needed to help a person.

It’s great to read this story again nicely done

Love the new chapter:)
