A great story with awesome, awesome fight scenes. The first chapter was okay but was not something that caught my imagination except for Hinatas' "Forbidden Taijutsu; Single Strike of Eternal Pain" which cracked me up; however, I always try at least 5 chapters before I dismiss a story and I am glad that I did because it picked up fast. The writing stabilized and the characters became more 3 dimensional. I love the development of Hinata and Naruto. He gives her the confidence to believe in herself and she becomes a steady influence on him but they retain their core characters. The changes that can happen from one event is the basis of must stories and the author uses the fact that Hinata decides to help Naruto with a scroll on the Clone Technique and the friendship blossoms. They continue to train together and with Hinata's help they begin to develop their own techniques.The fight scenes are amazing, the author manages to make every fight different but still believable and no one is super powered and an expert on everything. As the story progresses their fights become more complicated and more destructive. I like the fact that they lose as often as they win in the beginning but they never stop and begin to bring in other people. Gaara and his relationship with Tenten is funny as well as poignant since he has no idea what is happening since no one has ever wanted to be with him. The conversations with Kurama are some of the best characterization of the fox that I have read. The author does not turn the fox into a wimp, a mother, a seductress, or pet. Instead, he is angry with solid reasons for his anger, he is not mindless destruction, he is cunning but he is not evil, when Naruto unlocks the Rinnegan Kurama believes that he might be the one to help the Tailed Demons. The story is long at over 300,000 and is just beginning the arc after the timeskip. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
