A good Naruto fic where he was placed with a family after his parents death.
Raised by the Inuzuka family, he grows up loved and not looked down on by the village.
I think the author has got the characterisation down very well for for team 7. It also has very good interaction with team Gai, which is very well done.
Very good grammar and looks to be updated pretty well.
It's just getting started on the chūnin exams, and if he can do them well I'd give it a 5/5, but for now I'll stick with 4/5

 

There are seven ellipses within the first fourteen lines, the concept has been done to death, and the word choice/grammar is sub-par at best, although it wasn't quite that disgusting considering the fandom, it came pretty close in places. The dialog all throughout chapter one and two felt forced, though I do have to commend this author on their ability to not only know that are multiple ways to say 'To be' in the English language given that it looks to be written by someone with English as their second or third language.

I retract my previous statement, this person is apparently in their third year of college; I recommend that they re-apply for freshman comp.

As of the end of chapter two I give it a tentative 2/5 rounded up to 2.5 if the author manages to actually finish the story. I would say that this belongs in the "Almost Recommendable" thread. Just might make a time waster for someone who enjoys the concept.

 

Yep, thats more or less the plot.

 

Ahh, thanks, that narrows it down. I know which 300-400 stories it could be now.

 

fox as a familiar... :/

 

Spoiler

Is it the one with the fox-familiar called Kurama, completely by coincidence?

If it is then... Eh. It is not terrible, from the chapters I've read as they are released, but at most it is a 3/5
