A small change to effect many greater changes... most of them believable (Haku and Kimimaro is a bit over the top, one might be possible, but both is a bit of a stretch, but still fun:) Like the story a lot, a good was to help Naruto, Tsunade AND Kakashi:)

Isnt naruto like... 8 here? Thats very very young to be getting romantic. Ive been enjoyed the story so far, but thats going to go into the "ignore for suspension of dis-belief" box.

if Akatsuki thought the Kyubi was no longer why would they still be together and not have disbanded as they wouldn't have any other way to revive the Jubi

really good so far. binged it all in one go.
im sad we didn't really get to see much of Kurama, but I'm sure he'll get some time to shine in the sequel.

Hmm, Is Kabuto Orochimaru's best spy or has someone else been planted with Tsunade?

This is awesome and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel

...really hoping Danzo's plot ends up being discovered by Hiruzen.

Given that he's probably going to end up dead soon, I can see it coming out, though.

the replacement for Kimimaro is in my mind at least quite easy as there was only one person who could probably go toe to toe against Kimimaro and make him struggle even with his level 2 seal an that would be Guren who might even be able to defeat him. As for who Zabuza has as a helper that's something I'm not able to figure out as I feel like Suigetsu would just drive him crazy an he'd probably want to just kill him rather then keep him around lol. I'm also fairly interested in how you're going to plan out Zabuza's showing up since he's not needed for Wave anymore due to Gato being dead.

Thankyou for writing this. I saw a comment you posted recently on another form and I thought, "I haven't checked BeardedOne for new stories in a while."

Why do you write stories that don't actually end? What a fucking waste of everyone's time.

Love it! Can't wait for the sequel!

I really love this story. The changes it brought were so natural, it just flowed. Thank you so much for writing this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story! I look forward to readingthe sequel as well, when it happens.

Well, it looms like the fox is out of the bag now!
and...
That seems like a very definite setup for a sequel.

Lol, Tsume's giving them all a lot more credit than they deserve. Safer that way for all of them, though.

Partial truth, then.
