The two captors-cum-trainers reek of Sue-ness. Otherwise, it's fine. I think. I've only read to chapter 3 at this point. I'll edit this later.

 

Really good fic. Although it did give me a pause when the village was named vicious Kaza or something like that.

 

This may be a stupid question...but are there any fics where naruto has haku's bloodlimit? I mean damn...I've looked but I can't find any. Cause If there isn't a fic like that... then someone should write it cause it would be a good fic.

 

I haven't seen that, but in general I despise the idea of Naruto having a Bloodline Limit. It just seems so...unnecessary given what he has in canon. I mean, he has the very avatar of destruction sealed inside him and virtually unlimited chakra to draw upon. He's already a total juggernaut if he applies what he has. Arming him with an advanced bloodline on top of that sort of cheapens both sides.

 

True he does have a seemingly endless amount of chakra....but I don't think the nine tails would just give it to him without some type of payment... true he does take chakra when he is angry but...it also has a drawback (for what the manga says anyway).
As for him having haku's bloodlimit...I'd rather him have that then those eye's everyone keeps giving him. It's also better then having nine-tails power over all elements. Haku's bloodlimit would keep him grounded in that area.

 

The only ones I've seen end up being the 'Naruto has a bloodline that lets him copy bloodlines' which is... ugh.

 

If memory serves, the one that Aensland mentioned is one already covered in this thread. It's the one called "Naruto of the Mirage" by I think it was... Nightblade888. Good for cheap and quick entertainment, if nothing else. Bah.

 

There's another one, called ' Copycat Bloodline' of all things. Written by HarbingerLady if I remember right. Can't recall much about it, but I think Naruto ended up with Haku's and the two eye limits.

 

Pah! I really can't stand any fic 'HarbingerLady' writes...and I think I actually tried almost all of them once in an amazing fit of boredom.

As for 'Naruto of the Mirage'...It had me quite thrilled at the beginning but it went totally downhill after the first couple of chapters. Sad since I liked the basic idea behind it and because of its potential going to waste. From one chapter to the next, the author's writing suddenly went down a notch, he became more and more cliched and simply overdid the whole bloodline thing. Naruto had so many awesome bloodlines that he hardly used any of them to their full potential. So in the end, Haku's limit was reduced to plainly throwing ice needles.

 

See Thats why I say if he should have a bloodlilmit it should only be haku's. It makes more sense then saying he a Uchiha or a Hyuga and making him the son of the fourth. Why because the mist tried to kill all bloodlimits. We know some lived because of haku...so why can't some of them make it to the leaf..only to have a kid, then be killed by the nine-tails. That a lot better then saying he was a Uchiha or a Hyuga...or even the fourth's son.

 

Naruto has no need for some over-hyped 'bloodline' that would do more harm than good for getting him to his goal.

 

How do you see that?

 

Naruto needs no bloodline all bloodline stories do the same damn thing they make godlike Naruto which is just a bore. Naruto has every thing he needs let see unlimited chakra, huge healing rate, the simple will to win, and also lets think he makes pranks which simply means take away the paint and other such items change them with kunais and explosive notes and you get a trap maker. So I say no to all bloodline stories

 

....

The grammar and spelling police are going to wtf pwn you dude, seriously. -.-

And no, godlike Naruto can be done very well. You all have just read the shitty ones.

Personally I think its an original idea, though a bit pointless. Kyuubi is a demon of fire not ice, he would either cause it to go into recession or it would cancel all of the bloodlines abilities out.

 

...I thought Nine-tails had control over all elements...

 

I thought it was more a spirit of earth and water... that whole creating earthquakes and tsunami thing.

 

Ehh? Isn't it just big and has regenerative abilities? Fine, it has red chakra but I haven't seen any indication in the manga that it spews fire or has control of any element at all. So what's with the talk about being the master of fire or even all the elements? Take one of the nine oversized tails, flail around with it and if it should hit the ground or the water surface, you'll get results such as earthquakes and tsunamis. It'd be like me splashing around in a bath tub...but does that make me master over water? So he's big, strong, has limitless chakra and can heal shit. Should be more than enough.

And bloodlines don't have to be useless for Naruto all the time. It's just that authors often tend to use them as Naruto's only means of fighting and that usually turns fighting scenes into a boring waste of time. Doesn't help that they're practically always done in an overpowered way.

I think though that they can be a great basis for Naruto. Something to base his further techniques and styles on. So if the bloodline is reasonably balanced, he still has to show some progress and learn stuff to supplement it. Actually, I think that Haku's limit is quite adequate for Naruto. It's just control over ice so it hasn't to be reduced to throwing ice senbons and creating mirrors. Neither do I think it's overpowered. It's just that you have access to a further element and things such as control and chakra resources still count as much as with any other technique. It'd be also quite interesting to come up with a good way to incorporate the Kyuubi chakra. Of course, that's all considering the author knows what moderate and balanced mean.

And about the whole 'Naruto doesn't need one' issue:
Sure, he doesn't need one...but who really does? If someone needs one then that'd be Naruto. He may have a good amount of chakra plus the demon chakra (that he can't control by the way), regeneration and whatever but he's still no genius. Rather than that he's quite untalented. So what's all this stuff good for if he has no talent and is actually pretty dumb. The canon Naruto has no real direction for his jutsus. He just learns anything that he can get (which is rather limited). So why not give him a bloodline like Haku's to back him up a bit and give him some focus on what kind of jutsus to concentrate on? As I already said, it's merely another element and still requires control. Control that Naruto severely lacks. It's not just 'letting him summon ice mirrors and senbons out of the blue'. He has to learn and make progress just as hard here as he has to in every other area. So if the author doesn't completely botch it, it'd be by no means overpowered and overkill.
