If it was just mist ninja, I get that he wouldn’t go into sage mode, Naruto, I mean, but... this doesn’t seem like Naruto’s canon fighting style? That was how he fought in part 1, but I’m pretty sure his fighting skills in almost everything, but he jutsu is pretty efficient. This just seems like, shadow clones, Rasengan, more shadow clones, another Rasengan. Rasengan, Rasengan, Rasengan. Also, it is SO not fair that you left off here. They found out his identity! They don’t trust them! How can you possibly leave off HERE of all spots in the story? But- I like your plot, and it was a good read.

Your interpretation of Naruto's fighting style is actually kind of... false. You basically have him send clones, do Rasengan, do more Rasengan, and do big ball Rasengan. I get that in part 1, he fought like this, but he actually has pretty sufficient taijutsu and he uses wind release more. I'm not sure if he would even go into Sage Mode or anything, but, well, he's more agile and quick than you make him out to be.

Um, Harry warded off a mob of dementors. In third year. By fifth, his Patronus is way more corpeal than more people's. He's almost an expert at getting rid of them. But, I mean, the whole "sasuke falls before Naruto thing", was that supposed to imply he went through worse? Because, honestly, I think that Naruto had a much harder life.

Neji got over his "I'm better than you" thing. And honestly, the "if the family was so good, then they wouldn't have been killed" thing would be a more Hermione thing to say than Ron. Everyone says she's tactless, but she's way too logical (Lavender's bunny) and blunt. She nags until things make sense. Ron, though, has a lot more social skills. He actually has the most friends out of the entire golden trio, when you think about it.

Ha! The power of the golden trio (i paused after typing those "the power of" and was tempted to say "youth", Rock Lee is the best).

Sighs. So it does seem like this is going to be a mega-super-strong Sasuke fic. Oh, well. At least the Golden Trio are in character. No Ron-bashing, a good sign. And I still think Naruto should have learned English with Sage Mode. Also, my main problem with your characterization is actually Sakura. There's no need for Sakura bashing, but she isn't really smart smart. I mean, it's been said multiple times she's smart, but in the middle of a battle, analyzing, Naruto's way more intelligent. Kind of like Hermione compared to Harry and Ron, who are both able to keep their heads in a crisis (we're talking book version, not movie).

Naruto could just learn with Sage Mode. Please, this seems promising, just don't make this a super weak Naruto (he's stronger than Sasuke) or a super weak wizards fic. Don't make Harry and Ron and Hermione always in need of saving.

i really wanna know about itachi's intentions and all but unfortunately you seem to lost your interest on this story since the last update was 8 years ago(?) very well then it's no problem for me even if it actually a problem because daamn man this fic is ridiculously good! the characteristic so on points since sasuke still become arrogant bastard as he is. this story has too many potential. it has the humor, drama, adventure wrapped well. thank you for your sharing though I know there wouldn't bring any good if I keep begging for update xD good luck!

i really love their bonds here lord i even love sasuke here more than he was back in canon

the way sasuke 'interact' with sorting hat though xD

Phew... At least it wasn't a cliffhanger.

Thank you very much for this awesome fic. I enjoyed it immensely. It wasn't completely perfect, but it came pretty damn close, at least for me. I especially loved the interactions between the members of Team 7.

Good luck to you in all things. If you ever come back to this fic (unlikely as that is), I for one will not complain.

Soooo sad this story isn't finished... I think I'm gonna bawl when I reach the end of the updates...
And as always, Sasuke and Naruto are pure gold.

Oh my god, I freaking love the way Sasuke steals Hermione's newspaper every morning.

Another fantastic chapter! I still adore your characterization of Sasuke. He's such an unrepentant asshole, but he also clearly cares for Naruto a lot. His interaction with the Legillimens-ed Naruto here was beautiful.

Hahahaha, I love Sasuke in this story, he's such a bastard! I think your characterizations are also very well done so far.
