    Abandoned Wild World by HowdyU - M - Naruto

    Okay, here's the thing. None of my stories are abandoned, nor will they ever be. As I said from the beginning, I write as I am motivated to do so. Just so you know, the plots of both HotH and WW are planned out for the next 100k or so words per story. I'm not one for outlines, so I'm not sure how either will end, but that's alright since I'm a ways away for either of them. Right now I'm planning on releasing WW 6 before HotH 13. We're on 13, right? I don't really remember. HotH will...

    CS supposedly enslaves you to Orochimaru, but that obviously was false or true only for a few. It was never said to be addictive. I have no idea how a bijuu would take advantage of that because only some bijuu have any influence over their hosts on a regular basis. Frankly most of your theories are based heavily on fanfiction that has no basis in canon. I'm gonna call it quits on this speculation now, since it really has nothing to do with my story, nor will it ever.

    "Demonic chakra" is fanfiction. Don't confuse it with the "malicious" or "sinister" chakra that the Kyuubi or the Uchiha are said to have.

    Abandoned Wild World by HowdyU - M - Naruto

    First off, Naruto never lost control of himself in Part 1. He genuinely wanted to kill Haku, and was able to stop himself and repress the Kyuubi's chakra when he realized just who Haku was. At the VotE there was no indication whatsoever that Naruto was never in charge, only that he had access to more of Kyuubi's chakra because the seal was weakening. It's only in Part 2, when the seal has weakened greatly and Naruto must be much more careful not to lose his cool that Naruto loses himself...

    Well Jiraiya also speaks on multiple occasions about how the seal is weakening and more of Kyuubi's chakra is mixing with Naruto's own, which is the reason why he's able to access more of Kyuubi's power in Part 2 and why the Kyuubi's chakra overwhelms him when he loses control of his emotions. If the author wants to re-write his story so that Naruto doesn't have the sort of natural resistance to Kyuubi's chakra, then that's fine so long as it's explained. Canon would suggest that the...

    http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/295/03/ http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/299/04/ Tenzou's thoughts touch on this here, but basically Naruto is unique in being able to restrain Kyuubi's chakra. It's not something that he actually learned, it's something that he does instinctively. Regardless, considering that he can suppress the Kyuubi, suppressing the CS would be child's play.

    I think of Orochimaru's jutsu more as suppressing the spiritual energy of his target with his own. After all, when Sasuke turns it back on him he still holds Orochimaru prisoner, and when his resolve weakens Orochimaru escapes. I think that it is like this for Orochimaru as well. Sticking a Cursed Seal on Naruto? I'm not sure there'd be much of a point. If we're talking about things that influence a person's chakra, being a jinchuuriki pretty much trumps anything else, right?

    Well, yes. This is the impression that I meant to give. Also, I tried to show that Naruto's "punishment" wasn't quite that, given that Kakashi was going to show him some new ninjutsu and the like. Sure Naruto was run ragged, but nothing serious happened to him, as I tried to show in his interaction with Team 10 right after Kakashi was done with him. As far as Kakashi dealing with Sasuke's apparent insubordination... well it isn't so blatant that it could really be called that. These...

    I don't see how Sarutobi is creating more problems than he solves here. Reality is that people dislike Naruto, but Sarutobi has no reason to punish those who discriminate against Naruto. Private shop owners can deny service to anyone. Theoretically a librarian can ban anyone from the library based on certain circumstances. It's not a case of "everyone hates Naruto, so he gets the shaft." It's more like "everyone can discriminate against Naruto, given certain circumstances, so he gets...

    I never wanted to over-complicate the notion of spiritual energy. If I have, then I'm sorry. I feel that I've touched on it sufficiently in the last two chapters - even moreso than the actual manga - and hope that people are receptive to the idea that Naruto isn't quite sure regarding that subject either. Spiritual energy, to me, has always been about intent. With enough intent, a ninja can eliminate the need for seals and simply perform a jutsu without such obvious methods. Just look...

    I'd just like to say that Naruto is not getting spit on or beaten in the streets in this fic. Having said that, I've shown a few instances now in which he is discriminated against for who he - or more importantly, what - he is. Naruto is not overtly antagonizing the civilians of Konoha, nor are the civilians generally blatant in their discrimination. The issue for Naruto is that, from time to time, civilians do take shots at him and he has no inclination to accept their misdeeds against...

    I wanted my Kakashi to be a bit less (seemingly) indifferent than his canon portrayal. In my story Naruto is, in Kakashi's eyes, both much more talented and also much less stupid than his canon self. Of all of his students, Naruto is his favorite, despite his best efforts not to neglect the others. Unlike Sasuke, Naruto in my story is actually personable. Kakashi relates to him as Yondaime's son and not "Yondaime's son who's nothing like him and that I have to teach." Even if Naruto's...

    It's not that Naruto threatened her, it's that she perceived that she was threatened. It's why Naruto never actually gets punished when this sort of thing happens aside from a stern talking to from Sarutobi, who's sympathetic towards Naruto. The next chapter is slated for 2010 right now. See you then!

    Well it's been hinted a few times at least that pretty much every member of Akatsuki uses the type of hidden seals that Sasuke has on his wrists. They don't walk around with backpacks, obviously, yet we've seen them pull out all sorts of implements from nowhere. Hidan had his stake, Itachi had his shuriken and kunai, Pain has his endless black rods, Sasori - well, that's an obvious one. Hell, even Naruto has used a sealing scroll in two fights, first against Deidara and Sasori and then...

    First thing: This story is based off of two separate divergences from canon. First is that he awakens the Rinnegan. Second is that he decides not to forgive the villagers' mistaken opinions and actions made towards him. These two things are independent and frankly either could be a legitimate basis for a plot divergence story. Second thing: Canon Naruto isn't ignorant of the attitudes of the villagers towards him. He's not stupid either. He just persists with his "I'll prove to...

    First off, I don't want to answer any questions that might spoil the story for everyone, which is why I haven't replied to many of your queries. Mizuki died in the same way that the Iwa chuunin died against Nagato. It was a strong reaction to the awakening of the Rinnegan bloodline.

    First off, we know that he can't see natural energy, since he wasn't able to determine how Naruto was able to attack Hungry Ghost. This chapter simply shows us that Pain can see chakra or some other measure of power, which is something that we already really knew since he observed the Konoha barrier. If anything, I think this helps my description of the Rinnegan since I have Naruto seeing the energy within others as well.

    I won't comment on the first point, since it would be giving away too much. As far as relatives go, Nagato will probably be as closely related to Naruto as I am to you. The Rinnegan is an ultra-rare recessive genetic power that has appeared only once in history before it's seen in Nagato. All evidence points to the Sage of the Six Paths living more than a thousand years in the past (Fukasaku is 800 according to the databook and still knows of the Sage only as a legend). So basically, no....

    My Rinnegan sees the spiritual component of chakra, which in my mind represents the intent of the ninja. You'll see a bit of Ino and Shikamaru in chapter 5, so I won't go there now. As far as Pain and Jiraiya's reactions, I think they'd both be curious but not shocked. After all, Jiraiya has seen this before. Pain may be cautious as to how to deal with Naruto, but he's never even once mentioned his own doujutsu, so I don't think it really plays into his whole god mantra as much as it...

    You're right. Pain didn't see what Naruto was doing, but the fact that he was using his Rinnegan meant that he expected to see something. It sort of supports my spiritual energy premise for this fic, because now we have confirmation that he can see something that has to do with ninjutsu but not with natural energy. That really leaves only chakra as a whole - which can be seen by both the Rinnegan and the Byakugan - or some component of chakra such as I have surmised.

    Yes. Minato says that Kakashi shouldn't use the Chidori in combat until he got Obito's Sharingan. The Chidori requires the user to move at incredible speed towards his target and results in tunnel vision and an inability to react to counters. The Sharingan overcomes those shortcomings.

To be clear though - the Kyuubi is a massive manifestation of malignant chakra, not a divine entity or an all-knowing, benevolent teacher.

    No one looks closely enough. The rings are very thin. Take your pick. Bijuu, in my opinion, are not purely spiritual. They have a physical form and interact with the world around them - though they are made entirely from chakra (and in Shukaku's case, the earth that he pulls together to create his form with his chakra). Examples of almost purely spiritual entities in my opinion would be the Konoha detection barrier, the Shinigami, and King Enma. They're things that a normal ninja can't...

    The way I see it, a jutsu has three elements: 1. Seals. Not all jutsu use seals, but for those that do the seals help aid in guiding the chakra to form the desired effect. 2. Body Energy. This is the component of chakra that is formed by every cell in the human body, and can be increased through training and physical fitness. 3. Spiritual Energy. This is the mental component of chakra, in which a ninja puts his intent into his chakra and will it to create the effect he wants his...

    Actually, the shared vision is almost certainly not an ability of the Rinnegan. It's an ability of Pain that relies on the chakra receivers in the bodies. After all, vision isn't the only sense they share. All data is presumably processed through Nagato, including vision. It was most likely a mistake on Jiraiya's part, though it's understandable seeing as he has no idea what the Rinnegan is capable of.

    Just my thought. In my story, Rinnegan gives insight even surpassing the Sharingan and Byakugan, but as you can see has much less viability in actual battle. The idea for the mist reversal came from rereading the manga. Zabuza doesn't use any fancy seals to form the mist aside from the one pose, so I figure that most of the effort is mental, or "spiritual" as I put it. Naruto was able to mimick him and use his own Rinnegan-driven spiritual power to overcome Zabuza's jutsu by pretty much...
