why did you basically cripple naruto with the cursed seal?

Nicely done! It was a very pleasant read. Too bad it's abandoned, but I'm happy with what we've got. Thank you for writing.

This story is just great! I totally love it!
I can't believe it was work we on and abandoned over a decade ago! It still has its effect though!

Thank you

I'm out. Thank you for your story.

switched and you are like, Woah, what just happened? You start with something and you never follow through where your reader is wondering how could that possibly happen. You've made Orochimaru unbeatable. How in the world can he just kill Taunade like that? I'm at the part where she's just died and all I can think of is "how can she just die so easily? She's one of the Sannin?" My other thought is "I don't care that she died" because I don't care about any of the characters. Another issue that irritates me is Naruto showing all of this knowledge and skills and NOBODY is challenging him. They're just going along with it. Naruto is supposed to be powerful with powers we don't know how he got yet he keeps getting his you know what beat in stupid ways.

If you ever edit your story, please please please add line breaks between different POVs. It makes things smoother and that way a reader knows you are looking through someone else's eyes. I have to say it's my biggest pet peeve with your story and it makes reading it difficult because you are with Naruto and all of a sudden you are with someone else with no indication that you switched. It creates confusion and the reader has to reread what they read because all of a sudden you're in someone else's head and things don't make sense. I'll stop, I'm rambling.

I have realized something in your writing. You mention important things but you don't explain them. They're just loose threads. For example, Naruto's curse mark. Apparently he still has it. Then what did he do in that human/demon village? When Orochi activated his curse mark, what happened? Why couldn't Kyuubi do anything about it? What happened to his alter ego? The shadow? I forget his name. What about the guy who gives him those mission? There are so many loose threads! I don't know if you'll mention them later on. I'm going to continue reading.

I though Naruto left to get his curse mark removed in that village? Why does he still have it then?

You don't really need the flashbacks you've inserted because you can sum it up in one sentence. Or, just insert it in your story without the flashbacks. I'm still liking this story!

Spy Naruto! Kind of modern...I'm not sure about this. I'm going to keep reading because I LOVE your writing style!

this good every. single. time.

will you update soon? I know you are on hiatus... but it's been 5 years man...

Someone has dark edgy tendencies if they make Naruto looks more like a punk rock singer _

superb!~~~~~~~~~]]

Who is the other who can pass through the barrier?
I adore this story!
