Spectacular story about what would happen if an 18 year old Naruto gets put into a dying Minato's body (the story is better at explaining it). Very easy read that you'll find enjoyable.

Good update speed (13 chapters between late feb and now)

And a very good look at what the life of a ninja might be like.

5/5

Wtf? You gave this shit 5/5?

The fic that directly rips off Aikora's Voice From A Distant star (immigration idea with Kushina meeting wtf?!) and Hakanamu's Time of No Return (switch with Minato's body with a time travel jutsu).

I am not even that concerned about the plagerism, the guy could have just done it unconciously but seriously it has too many similarities for it to be a coincidence.

What really makes this one of the worst failed attempts at time travel is the lack of plot, lack of characterization, Oc's that don't make any sense, and no real goal.

And why the hell are they in Bloody mist doing the Exams? Mist has been having a civil war during this time. This fic could have actually had been good but practically EVERYONE is an OC aside from Kushina.

And the OC Uchiha instructor? "No don't ask me about my past, its bad yo, its real bad. I am going to make you stronger than my clan! Yay!"- You got to be kidding me.

Then there is the Uzumaki clan, why the hell are there so many of them including a big brother? Didn't we make it clear that only Kushina survived? Other wise you wouldn't see Tsunade saying "Ahh right, she was from that ninja clan from Uzu." I don't think you would have seen her have to think much if she could remember more than one Uzumaki.

The characters keeping getting added but they don't do shit for the story, sure I like the pace but you can't read this fic a second time becuase it is really that bad, there is just nothing here to work with, and I tried, I really did.

I have no idea where the hell this story is going and frankly I don't want to. I don't normally hate time travel but this has to be one of the most inaccurate fics I have seen in my life, next too that fic Sakura travels back in time to kick ass, yeah right, more like she'd get anally raped.

2/5.

 

TBH - I'd rate this fic 3.5. It is not a complete waste of ones time, but the ammount of mistakes is just ruining this story. Fugaku just two years older then Minato? So many whirpool ninjas and Mist exam...

Still. If you have nothing to read and you are desperate to read a new Naruto fic - this is a good choice.

 

3.5, meaning almost worthy of the library? Even from the way you're describing it sounds like a 3 at best.
