holy... shit. this was a hell of a read. Thanks for posting this was awesome.

It has been seven years- but im going to cross my fingers and hope this will get an uppdate one day!

Fantastic intro. I'm eager to see how this plays out. I know it's been forever since you uploaded it, any chance for an update? If not, care to explain what the central theme was going to be?

Ah man most of your stories has at least a follow up chapter or give a feel for what might happen. This is just a cliff hanger.

A deserted konoha? that has to be some sort of jutsu, genjutsu, probably done by inoichi ... creeping me out a bit if a town that large suddenly turns into a ghost town

Nice read...
seemingly abandoned though...could ja possibly PM me about what you'd had in mind for this fic? Just reading the end of this fic is making my mind buzz and I would like to know.

Two and a half years... I pray it gets updated eventually.

Looks interesting!

How... immensely disturbing. More so than your usual stories, which are rather disturbing as well. Despite that, I am rather curious if you are going to continue this story. It doesn't look like you are, but I am curious.

Please continue this fanfic when you have the time. It is interesting. Is Naruto having a vivid flashback? A dream? Is he crazy and this is all a part of his mental break? Is the whole town actually deserted? What happened with the Rookie Nine that was so bad? I must know!

Keep writing,

Interesting, very interesting.

intresting

This was...strange. But interesting. Will more come?

So the first time Uzumaki Naruto saw Rasengan in combat, Jiraiya used it to throw a has-been, an ex-chuunin from another village across a street, fundamentally unharmed.

Rasengan is exactly as lethal as the user wants it to be, from "extremely" to "might cause bruises." Naruto has used a bunch of rasengans on a bunch of people, and he only makes it lethal against S-classers.

Rasenshurinkan, during training, required multiple Narutos to form. It's not the sort of thing that Naruto could whip up while wandering around town, and since his whole problem was how much concentration it demanded, it's not something he could do while out and about at all.

I dunno. The story premise is interesting, but Rasengen is a really bad match, because if Naruto wants to carve holes in rock, it can do that, and if he needs to shuffle some air around to cool him down, it can do only that, too. It's very flexible.

I mean, the premise is intriguing, even though trying to rectify shounen shenanigans with the implications of "ninjas" can be unworkably schizophrenic, I think you can swing it.

I guess my feeling is, this story would work better if the dark parts snuck up on us, rather than being a "if I did it, here's why" kind of thing, and it would have to be something other than Rasengan. I get that the carelessness is the sin Naruto's making here, but the thing is, the particular example doesn't work.

Because if Naruto was foolish for teaching it to a 12 year old, than so was Jiraiya, and when Konohamaru was canonically revealed to know it, it was labeled, "boy it sure was a good thing Naruto taught Konohamaru Rasengan", so that made me think, "ha ha, Naruto was TOTALLY right to teach him, go Naruto".

scary!
