    Kurenai breaking out of Tsukuyomi doesn't seem too unreasonable to me; after all, she is supposedly the best genjutsu user in Konoha.

    New Team 8? Color me surprised.

    *goes to read*

    Edit: Well, now that I've read it I think I'll just have to parrot what we've all been saying for a long while now. The story just seems to be a better-written rewrite. The only real change now is that Itachi ganked someone important and the evil Hiashi cliche is still going strong.

    Story is never going to end at this rate.

    The thing about S'TarKan is, that when he starts a story it's innovative and great, but until he manages to write 10 chapters it's already cliche and boring... unsubscribing.

    I'm still following it, but the anticipation gradually vanished when he killed Kurenai, after building up her character for half the story. What a waste, even after all these months.

    The new chapter seems to be heading towards Naruto going with Jiraiya for training just like in canon, while instead of Sakura, Hinata's the one that will be Tsunade's apprentice. Sasuke remains loyal to the village, and Orochimaru decides to wait before confronting his former team.

    I've only been following this for a few months now, so I'm not really sure what the cliches of the fandom are yet. That being said, me rikey, me rikey arot. 4/5 from me.

    Korisovra: Mm, Naruto/Hinata is like Harry/Ginny. It's so overdone it's not even funny anymore. Naruto helping Hinata get over her stuttering and nervousness is also another one. I'd say Naruto getting on another team and suddenly becoming this awesome ninja is also a cliche, but this story is the first (or one of the very first to do this and become popular) to do so, so not in this case. Haven't read the story in a while so I don't know of any others.

    Eh, let him enjoy them while he still can.

    If I could stand to read either of those pairings anymore I'd have a lot more reading material. /:

    Besides, Hinata is usuallly only bad when she's written as a 2D character with no characteristics besides stuttering and liking Naruto.

    Probably because by the time he gets to that tenth chapter, everyone else has already stolen his initial idea, copied it and put it out while he's in mid-storyline, so changing everything up would both look retarded and take even more time.
