    Title: Rogue Fox
    Author: Axenome
    Rating: M
    Genre: Drama/Adventure
    DLP Category: Naruto
    Pairing: None
    Summary: In the depths of the ruins of Whirlpool, Naruto seeks answers, while Akatsuki and Konoha close in from either side.
    Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4488167/1/Naruto_Rogue_Fox

    The summary is for the sequel he just posted to the back end of the original.

    Well, I've been meaning to rec this for some time now, but just never got around to it. 200k plus words beginning with a tiny divergence in the Mizuki incident. It follows Naruto through the Chunnin exams, with the sequel picking up almost immediately after.

    Warning: The fic contains elements that would make many members cringe, and even made me cringe a little when I first started.

    Helpful Fox, Naruto with bloodlines, and Superish!Naruto

    That said, in a fandom that's suffering from a distinct lack of quality writing, Rogue Fox is a breath of fresh air in terms of originality in almost all ways. The fight scenes are stunning as a rule, and the author writes a very gritty portrayal of the Narutoverse.

    A solid 4.5/5 from me, if only because of the author's need for a beta some of the time. Many members may not like it immediately, due to the warning above, but it's a quality fic certainly deserving of a read.

    IMO, most unique thing about this story is the use of glass techniques. I've yet to see any other Naruto fanfiction create an ability this unique that isn't a bloodline.

    I've followed this story since it started and it has kept me thoroughly entertained. The writing is decent and doesn't have any great holes. Scenes are usually well-written.

    The only really big jumps are from the implementations of the bloodlines and Ancients. The Ancients thing practically came with few, if any, warning straight out of left field.

    Imma read this for you Inert...

    But I do believe I just recommended half a dozen Naruto fics in this very sub-forum that are all ranging from average to great. :sherlock:

    Edit: Goddamnit, Inert, this man really needs a beta.

    Edit2: This man has no sense of logical ripple effects. No sense at all. This close to giving up.

    Edit3: Man Inert, you really killed my good mood with this guy. He really needs a beta to fix up all the many many both minor and major problems with his fic. I'm out.

    I liked this even with it's many flaws.

    I read this story when it was first released and I followed it whenever a new update was released.

    4/5

    Yeah, it is. The trees are Ancients that are basically Old Ones, and the Bijuu were their weapons.
