    Incredibly useless but smart got trained by Tsunade, who worked on her problem areas, transforming her into a fantastic superwoman who really isn't a superwoman, but would make a terrific puppet in Chiyo's hands.

    If you want a quick list...

    Harry = Sasuke - Unfortunate as it may be, he's moody, talented and 'has a way of winning, or at least escaping, every fight he gets into.
    Hermione = Sakura - though she hasn't been as entirely pathetic at any point in the books as Sakura was in Part I.
    Ron = Shikamaru - definitely not as smart as Shikamaru, but he has many of the same characteristics... kinda.
    Dumbledore = Sarutobi of course.
    The Twins = Naruto, though with less of a demon sealed inside them.
    Snape = Kakashi... It was hard to fit either of those two, so I picked the easiest one.
    Voldemort = Orochimaru. Do I really need to list the similarities?
    Lucius Malfoy = Pein. Think about it, they both serve the Big Bad (kinda), they're both in it for the ideology, not just the muggle torture/killing. They are both highly skilled and know it, and have a definite advantage from the family lines (Rin'negan and money).

    I need a hobby >_>.

    Dear Gods, what the hell was I thinking? That should teach me to drink and post... If everyone can just ignore that and pretend it never happened I would appreciate it :p.

    Just updated. Slightly upset at what S'tarkan did but still enjoyed the update.

    Won't get into detail for spoilers.

    He takes so long to update. I have to reread the fic every time, just so I can know what's going on in the latest chapter.

    I'm not too happy about
    Itachi being a villain,
    though I can certainly understand why S'TarKan wants to continue in this tack.

    The problem with it to me is that portraying him in this light will either necessitate him getting killed off rather pitifully (see most of Akatsuki), or becoming some kind of super badass like he is in most older fics. Trouble is he isn't, and never could be given his canon power level, among other issues.

    I've been waiting ages for that update. I didn't trust my eyes at first.

    Great chapter. I never thougt he would do that to Kurenai...

    Yeah, when I read the part in question, I had to reread it a few times to make sure I didn't misunderstand. I still can't believe that he did that.

    Quickie summary:

    Naruto, Shino, Hinata become Kurenei's Team 8. Kurenei has Naruto train with Gai and Lee and to get all taijutsu-buff. There's a C rank mission to the border with Rock for training; ninja there think that Naruto is the 4th. They break up a kidnapping of Konohamaru and Hinabi. Turns out Hiashi is leading some kind of anti-Naruto conspiracy or something. Chunin exams happen and Naruto and Sasuke both eat a curse seal in the forest, but Naruto overcomes his. Finals: Naruto one-punch decks Sasuke, later bitchslaps Neji, who nearly killed Hinata in their match. Invasion and chaos, Naruto dukes it out with Gaara in the forest and wins. The Third is crippled and has to retire. Naruto's still a Genin. Time to go get the big titted lady; Naruto, Jiraiya, and Hinata hoof it out of Konoha.

    Enter present chapter.

    The Third is not dead, he just lost one of his arms and had to retire.

    I love what he/she did with Kurenai, it will certainly drive the plot forward. As for the Itachi issue, I don't think that making the comment at the end was actually neccessary. I would have preferred if the author left it unambiguous. His actions didn't actually mark his overall alliegences, it just painted him as darker than in canon, which is perfectly reasonable.

    Well, now that I've reread the entire story to catch up and gotten to the new chapter, I would like to say:

    I'm really pissed off.

    I've been angry at fanfics before for petty reasons, but I haven't felt this kind of pure RAGE since KIP and PMN got the axe.

    What's worse is that I can understand why he did it. Without marginalizing Kurenai, the best way to put it is that she out-lived her usefulness. But this doesn't change the fact that I got to that part and reread it enough times to see if I missed something that I practically have it memorized...then RAGED. This was about the equivalent of killing off Kakashi in canon by way of a steamroller.

    I find myself seriously wanting to drop this story entirely, but I'll probably have calmed down somewhat...after another fucking year.

    There's a reason people have been using spoiler tags, genius.

    I was ready to rage when Kurenai broke out of the Tsukuyomi, but then he killed her so I was actually happy about it. :D

    But he really needs to update more frequently. 4 years for one fic and no end in sight is almost a guarantee that it's never going to be finished.
