from a certain point of view, the guy running the Pit didnt lie. Naruto left the Kiddie fights and moved into the Adult fights

I think everything is moving towards a good way. Even Danzo's pans seem mild against Akatsuki's plans. Is Naruto capable of get stronger? Obviously, but I can't think of another upgrade that wasn't the last two of canon. I'm intrigued by what the next steps are. Good day to you!

Very goodspin-of Naruto.
Story has plenty of action, suspense and horror.
Story could use some romance/sex.
Waiting to see if Naruto actually teams up with anyone.

They really be using their eyes as Pokémon trading cards these days

Force palm?! Oh that’s tough

Is Neji going to become gay over that experience?

Good work! And man, this story is going MANY places! Lol. I’m glad actually that Kiba "manned up" and willingly volunteered to pay for his critical mistake.

Seems that even though Danzō is now a missing-nin, he’s still willing to help Konoha from the shadows as is his modus operandi.

I also liked how things in Stone went. Although now I’m concerned for Kurotsuchi... Curse that twisted Earth Daimyo!

I wonder how Pein and Konan will confront Obito/Madara? After all, the jig is up and revealed. So... time for a little "talk"!

See you next update!

Your introspective moments are quite obvious exposition and the large chunks of text during the sad moments offsets the purpose as it becomes rant like. I’m going to continue reading as the concept is very interesting.

Im just gonna be that guy I guess, cuz the more I read the more I don't understand why it doesnt happen. What exactly is stopping Pakura from massacring Shoma? Shit what is stopping someone like Oonki? He could easily make the man disappear, frame say akatsuki (or hire them directly) and there isn't anything that would stop him. Yes, the group has S class shinobi, but there is a clear rank and file to S rank shinobi, because Kisame solo'd the Mist Daimyo. so hire Itachi and Kisame.

The same is true for every kage. Like yeah, I see Jiraiya's hesitance, cuz they are so far away and getting to him would be impossible without him escaping. But if we look at it objectively, there is literally no reason for this Daimyo thing to continue other than distance. Yes, the political ramifications are a thing, but to be blunt, the amount of issues that they seemly cause, worth killing them, and hinting at it to their successor. They would also be erased entirely by the release of the information that the Daimyo were literally monsters who kidnapped, tortured raped and more.

The story is great, don't get me wrong, but at this point the only real solution to the whole plot of the Daimyo's Secret Shit (DSS) is to kill them all. Because a man like Shoma will never quit, he will always have someone in his debt cuz he was a ruler. And unless you are drastically over powering his forces, there isn't a way they are stopping someone like Onki, or Jiraiya in sage mode.

Great new chapter :)

Glad to see you back ! The whole Inuzuka fiasco is interesting especially because Tsume giving up her Heir to become a Prisoner of War just like that is strange ( was she in that meeting?)and Tsunade actually listening to a Genin about a major political issue like this is unusual. Especially as you stated the Village has no real need to do so...and wasn't it said that the Major villages and Daimyo are preparing for war...The Leaf giving up such valuable personnel (He's the Clan Heir) for no reason is unlikely...But I digress you stated you have a plan to bring this all together...I can't wait to see where it goes!

personally I feel you should have just given him shizuis' eye but thats your choice

Itachi has been tasked to find Naruto. I wonder what he will do if he sees his Mom too?

Too much plots in the plot.

This story is mad wild man. Dope.
