I'm getting annoyed with all the filler.

I must not have done something right with this chapter. My review counts has dropped down from 60 to barely 30 between these last two. Maybe one day I'll write because I want to and not because I'm a review hound, but right now this is seriously annoying me.

 

Maybe you should place it in a catergory (i.e Anko/Naruto or Kurenai/Naruto) to make it easier to find.

 

I will eventually, when I decide where it belongs. I hate to do that because it seems like committing to a pairing. Oh well, guess I can change it later if necessary.

 

Have you decided between Kurenai and Anko yet or maybe Temari. *Crosses fingers*

 

I haven't decided anything really. A lot of reviewers want to see Naruto/Anko. Kurenai is my personal preference, but as time goes on I somehow envision her becoming more of a surrogate sister than a love interest. I'm definitely not going to cop out and just do both. Multipairing gets contrived after awhile, and while Anko might not be the type to care, I can't see a proud woman like Kurenai sharing a boyfriend with another woman. Temari...I dunno how much Naruto will interact with the Sand Trio in this fic. I know he won't be fighting Gaara during the invasion like in canon. I think he's going to go right after Orochimaru and possibly end up foiling the assassination attempt on Sandaime. So, I don't think he'll have much connection with Temari and her brothers. Besides, I'm more inclined to think that an older Jounin would be better for him. I might just not have a pairing at all, though I somehow doubt I'll be able to get away with that and keep my audience. Fanfic readers crave romance pairings.

 

How are you going to do the chuunin exams and if you want to create original jutsus i can give you some Jap-Eng translators.

 

I have an English to Japanese dictionary and know the basic mechanics of the Japanese language well enough to do on my own, thanks. Online translators tend to make too many mistakes. The two lightning jutsus Naruto used in the last chapter were my own invention, unless they've been used in canon and I'm not aware of it. I probably won't change the Chuunin exams much from canon, except to use different fight matchups for the tournament. Depending on which of my two paths I decide to go, Naruto will end up either fighting Sakura in the elimination round and fucking her up bad or fighting against an OC. I think Kiba will probably get matched against Sasuke, and I'm not sure about the rest.

 

I can't wait to see that, and i'm really happy this fic is so original it's pleasant to see none of that SasukeObsessed!Naruto fanfic authors love to portray.

 

Lovin this story, it's great. Linked up, what's the link for Kyuubi's Gou or whatever that fic you weretalking about.

 

Chapter Four is posted.

 

...Fluffy romance? There was no romance at all in that chapter...nothing even approaching it.

 

...Are you talking about the character herself, or the way I write her? Because honestly she has little character development to speak of in canon and I don't think I'm writing her in a 'fluffy' manner in the story. Well, interpret it that way if you like, but I'm honestly not seeing it. I think she's a somewhat caring person who is concerned for Naruto's emotional well-being, but to call her the girly-girl type is a bit ludicrous IMO.

 

I started reading it and as always, your writing was excellent. Sadly, I couldn’t continue after the encounter with Anko and the slight sexual implications and what not; you see, I work with kids in that age range during summers and I really can’t get passed that, even while trying to jump certain parts. I can deal with the dark personality at such a young age, but that’s about it. I tried though, and I wish you luck with the rest of the fic!

Oh! And if what I read is true and your going for a Manda summon, you should summon him right out of Orichimaru’s feet someday. That’s be hilarious…

 

Nothing comes of it, and it wasn't intended to be actual flirting. She was only trying to throw him off-balance during the fight. But if it really bothered you that much, then I guess that's just the way it is. Like I've said, there isn't going to be any pairings for a long time, if at all.

 

ah! If thats it then, I'm gonna give it another shot.

 

*Thorn misses the days when Serapth updated reguarly*

I understand though, school and shit. I can't wait for another Nine Tailed update though. Great job on the Dakaath one btw.

 

I don't have the creative energy to churn out a 7,000 word chapter every week, I'm sorry to say. I'll be starting the next chapter on this fic tomorrow, but today I have to slap together a rough draft for a research paper in my Anthropology class. This coming chapter will be the first big fight scene though, so I'm sure it'll come out nicely.

 

Just read the latest chapter, Wow that was really well done. I seriously have no idea where you're going with this. All that comes to mind is Naruto joins the Akastuki or they just try to take him anyway, and I know (From reading your other fics anyway) that this just won't degenerate into one of those 'Naruto is a bastard then turns nice as he gets people who recognize him etc etc.)

But Seriously NTS>>>>>>>>>>>>Team 8

Team 8 is some recycled plot written extremely well. THAT'S IT. Maybe the occasional twist here and there but I can see how the plot will unfold.
