Old snake was really a body-hopping cockroach though.

The character writing started losing coherency only a few chapters in, now your dialogues have same voice syndrome.

Your narrative was ok, but you’ve had the issue of following the Naruto storyline like you were on rails. The most you’ve done is make a not-Wave Arc and throw in a side story for unnecessary character development.

Now you’re indulging in “upgraded power” nonsense like every other shonen crossover. I’m taking my leave.

Except it’s an illusion. A disguise. Nothing physically changes.

If that were the case, Shinobi would henge into having knives for hands and do battle like that. Whole kettle of fish, that.

Heh. That's funny. Mousse taking up the snakes, Ranma becoming one of Tsunade's apprentices, now all we need is for Ryoga to get all buddy-buddy with Jiraiya, and we'll have potentially TWO teams of Sannin appearing on the battlefields in the coming years! And while I'm weary of OCs on principle, I'm seriously finding myself enjoying Yasu and her slowly growing relationship with Ryoga. While I don't really like Ryoga as he is in Ranma-verse, I've come to quite him in THIS story and I can't help but wonder what the future as in store for him and Yasu. Maybe a budding romance there...?

But, for as much as I'm enjoying seeing how the boys are adapting, changing, and growing into this new world with these new responsibilities and training they're undergoing, I can't help but wonder/hope that we'll see the arrival of more Nerimans coming over to 'rescue them'. Let's face it, Soun and Genma will NEVER let Ranma live in peace and I can easily see Cologne having some type of ancient Amazonian magical McGuffin that would allow her (and maybe a select few others) to journey after Ranma across dimensions to retrieve and bring him. Admittedly, this whole 'scenario' I just suggested is due to my own love of the Ranma/Shampoo pairing. Wouldn't that be an interesting new dynamic to explore? Seeing how the trials, failures, and bonding the three boys have endured get tested by the unexpected arrivals of a majority of their peers? And, of course, poor, poor Konoha gets caught in the middle of the chaos that unfolds! Hehehe!

I'm looking forward to the next chapter with GREAT anticipation! So, please try to update again VERY soon!

Pfft, he's NOT dead. Orochimaru, like many villains of the Naruto-verse, seems to have the same annoying and uncanny ability to revive himself whenever he feels like it or pull off a spontaneous replacement/clone jutsu to dodge what should've been a killing blow. So, no. Orochimaru is still UNDOUBTEDLY alive!

...Anko.

Ahhh, poor Ranma. He never catchs a break.

Hm... As much as I'm enjoying seeing Ranma give Orochimaru a thorough and very much needed ass-whooping, I think you're being a little bit inconsistent with how well Ranma's abilities have been portrayed in this story. His weakness against genjutsu makes sense, since he's never had to face it before. But with all of his other battles where it wasn't used, he always seemed to be on the losing end. And Orochimaru is heads and shoulders above each of those guys in turn. So, Ranma REALLY shouldn't be putting up nearly as good of a fight as he is, even if Orochimaru's just toying with him.

Yeah, I'm with Ranma on this one. What was going through Hitomi's mind just then that caused her to lose her fear like that? Weird.

Heh, I doubt Aya will want to be a ninja after seeing and enduring all of this. The path of the comparatively nonviolent martial artist probably will seem far, far, FAR more appealing to her now. That is, if she decides that she still wants to be a fighter. Poor child, being exposed to all of that at such a young age.

The smart thing for Hiro to have done was to kill Anko upon escaping from the village. That way he wouldn't have to worry about keeping her under guard. Personal watch himself, I'd wager since he's apparently the only one skilled and/or strong enough to comfortably take her down.

Or is he bringing her alive in order to fulfill some kind of bounty posted by one of the other ninja villages? That'd make a fair bit of sense, even adding some credence to his statements of how valuable she could potentially be to him.

...well, that sh*tfest went to hell in a handbasket. So many bad things happened in this chapter. It would almost be f*cking hilarious IF it wasn't so pathetically sad! I am majorly, MAJORLY disappointed in the boys right now!

Ha, I see Haku parallels here. I bet this 'Hitomi' character is that same girl he fought against earlier, here fishing for clues and details, trying to figure out his weaknesses to use against him later on. Oh boy, when/if Ranma figures this deception out, he's probably gonna be both pissed and betrayed.

Yeah, those seem like accurate and reasonable stumbling blocks for these idiots to blunder into. It definitely shows that they have a LOT of training to do ahead of them.

Huh, that's actually a surprisingly fair and (dare I say it) accurate assessment of their skills as ninja. Very nicely done! Although, the idea of them actually working together without first trying to kill one another is still a very foreign concept for me!
