please tell me this story is still ongoing

Ive read this story twice now, and I still love it, it’s a shame it hasn’t been updated or adopted because it does have potential and although not original( in that naruto gets something different from the forbidden scroll) it was unique in the fusion of two personalities that are polar opposites. I liked how you wrote Tier’s past as I don’t believe it was actually mentioned in cannon bleach, which is a shame and she and Coyote are my favorite hollows. If you ever decide to come back to this story I’ll read and review this chapter immediately, it really is that good.

Nope I'm out. You don't add a new character like that near the end.

i loved everything aboit this fic. I truly hope it is picked up some time soon and restarted. If not by you than someone who adopts the story. I may even take a crack at this story myself if you give me permission.

What a damned waste and of course no last message stating what had been planned or thought of before vanishing. The people who really like it left with ten chapters and little clue of what was planned.

its a shame this fanfic is abandoned.

Just did a power read through the story and this shits got potential. You planning on picking it up again? I like the different dynamics that you've established.

What of taking samehada or sharkskin from kisame as a secondary weapon like same had a switching sides as soon as it/(she as it is portrayed in other fics) feel his chakra.

Now no wonder this story is dropped. First of all there was absolutely no reason to send Team 9 to a diplomatic mission. Those kind of missions are B and above and needs a certain expertise that Gai's character wouldn't have.
Add the fact that there is a Hyuuga in that team and the recent kidnapping as a Kage you would rather a choose another team to be delegates preferably a team trained for diplomatic missions rather than a bruiser team of genin.
And lastly, Jinchuurikis are strategic class assets. You dont send your nukes on enemy soil unless it is primed. There was no reason to send an inexperienced Jinchuuriki in an enemy nation that have the history if kidnapping not only His mother but also the Heir of your nation's founding clans. Hell, they're known to have the capability to seal bijuu.
I thought there were going to kumo for a different reason but now that I've the last few chapters I realized the big ass plot hole that ruined this story.

Facets of death.. Hmm an interesting plot bunny.

Wait, who had the tears? The Hokage or Naruto? It was slightly unclear.

Ouch, kokoro itai. Well damn that moved me more than i thought.

It would have been perfect if it wasnt for the authors ranting.

why you no update?

I'm not really a person that tends to write reviews on stories as more often than not the stories are abandoned, forgotten within the depths of Fanfiction. However this story was one of the first I actively kept up with when I first discovered this site so many years ago. It was engaging and constantly made me wish there was more every time I finished a chapter. Now as life goes on and new authors bring their own worlds to life, I look upon this story with nostalgia and fondness. It may now be dead and abandoned for various reasons, but I can promise it won't be forgotten. Thank you Psuedocode Samurai for the find memories and enjoyable experience
