Really? I was thinking more along the lines of him going missing-nin. I personally think that may be more interesting to read. (But of course, that's just from a lack of good stories with new ideas when the setting remains in Konoha.)

The one thing I kind of want the author to touch up more on though would've been the transition between the Harry Potter world and Naruto. He was 150 years old when he died, with tons of children/grandchildren/etc. I'm sure his character would change over the last 10 years as a child, but atm I just don't see much of a connection between the worlds besides the whole yin/yang chakra - which was awesome by the way.

 

I get the impression he will be the one ordered to do the massacre.

 

It's a possibility (I think it likely too), but he also has Itachi listed as a fugitive in a couple plots on the poll on his author page. He says that he may not even use any of the ones that he's asking people to vote for, but it gives us an insight into what he's considering.

4/5 from me on this one - I've also been very happy that he's kept Naruto out of it thus far. Too many crossovers end up with Harry inevitably drawn to him and he ends up in a guardian/big brother role that is often not handled well. While Harry might cross paths with him in the future, I don't think it will be without just cause.

 

The author does not explain much about magic, but from what i understand he basically breaks chakra into physical and spiritual halves and uses the spiritual half for seals and other magic. His eyes are shown as a focus for magic, although not a good one.

It is too early to rate the fic, the plot is yet to be revealed.

The Harry we know would never abandon family or friends despite their faults. Also, Harry doesn't like the village more than he likes his clan. At least he loves the children of the clan, whereas from the village all he got is torture. Can you imagine Harry killing children he babysits?

If the author is going to try a new plot rather than replacing Itachi with Harry, then I think Harry would support Uchiha to take down the Hokage.

 

I enjoyed this. Like others I found the portrayal of the village politics occurring around Fukurou to be spot on, and I really enjoyed how the author set up Harry's skill set. We don't see as much mid or long-range in Naruto fics, and I don't think I can recall another fic where there was an archer. 4/5

 

Harry was 150 year old politician before his death. He might find some other means of diffusing situation - for example reporting to Konoha's authorities that Madara is alive if he approaches him, or even some other avenue - maybe blackmailing - with his Sharingan enchanted Legilimency he could unearth the dirtiest secrets. Or simply secretly assassinate Danzo, and dump his corspe for all citizens to see, causing shitstorm. There are a lot of possibilities than cliched "Massacre". And Harry would not kill children, as was pointed out.

 

A Personal Matter & it's sequels Sphere of Influence & Extending the Boundaries - Where Harry is taken to Konoha after the Dursleys die and Dumbledore finds out that Harry's father is actually Hatake Sakumo. Really great series with 400,000+ words - he takes a big brother role, but I think it was kind of in the background of (author concentrated on other plot points)

Uchiha Potter - James Potter's mother was an Uchiha, and Harry is sent there to be raised. They have him about 2-3 years older than Naruto/Sasuke. Another big brother fic, where Naruto moves in with them on clan grounds.

Against the Odds - Harry discovers a connection to the Naruto-verse through his mom, and decides to travel there. It's post 5th book and I just remember that he wanted to get away from the wizarding war... anyways, he's a cousin of Naruto (an Uzumaki) and when he gets to Konoha it's about him & Naruto developing a familial relationship.

Over the Hills and Far Away - He finds out that his grandfather is Orochimaru and there's a massive crossover where a decent amount of the Potter cast infiltrate the Naruto-verse while trying to find snake-related horcruxes. Another big brother role.


Hmmm, that's about all I'd recommend (that I have favourited on my FF.net list). I've read a bunch that were... just bad. The one that comes to mind immediately had Harry adopted by the Inuzaka, and he eventually becomes their clanhead and adopts some kids including Naruto. There was a sequel where he wakes up as if it was a dream, but he still has the abilities and adopts somemore kids... oh, and he calls them all pup.

Yeah, not so good - steer clear if you see it.

 

All 'big brother' stories inevitably suck because they are pandering to the author's wish to fix characters. No matter how fun the idea may sound, what the author is doing is not trying to write a story, they're making emotional band-aids. In terms of writing, what this means is very small amount of plots vs large amounts of wangst over how bad things are (often ridiculously exaggerated to show how good the insert is) and then terribly written joy over how awesome the insert is.

I'm going to check out A Personal Matter and Over The Hills because these stories appear to have actual plots, and therefore hold infinitely more appeal than the other two. Christ, Uchiha Potter? They're both surnames, that title makes no sense at all.

 

Read all this stories:
A Personal Matter - 4/5
Uchiha Potter, - story was about a year without update and then he posted last, - 3.5/5
Against the odds - 3/5
Over The Hills - If this is story, when after Orochimaru finds Harry and they fight Cerberus, Harry using flute, whole idea was so fascinating to Orochimaru that he creates "sound" village. Its 0.5/5 - The whole idea of many HP characters in elemental nations was horrible.
Some others pretty good cross-overs:

This one just screams wangst fest.

Personally, I enjoyed Over the Hills and Far Away. The writing was technically sound and the length decent, and there's a dearth of similar fics. Worth more than 0.5/5.

 

Like others, I enjoyed "A Personal Matter" well enough. I can't say anything about the others mentioned though.

For this particular story, based on its current state, I'll give it a 3.5~4, settling for 4, for rating purposes.

It's written well enough and, personally, is a plot that I haven't specifically read before. "A Personal Matter" being significantly different in almost every way. That, and I haven't really read any "So and so character is in the Naruto world, but is born/actually an Uchiha." Mostly since, the majority of such stories are trash.


[minor relatively pointless rant]
As an aside, I have always had a minor appreciation when stories that involve the main characters being in ANBU(for a short stint or otherwise), actually use non-blatant monikers. I was reminded of this(in a mildly negative sense), when the start of the chapter, used "Owl" as an ANBU title... when his name "Fukurou" means "Owl".:facepalm

Then again, a fair amount of readers probably don't actually know that, so... eh. Either way, it just reminds me of stories where Naruto's secret call sign is "Fox", "Kitsune" or the relatively more rare "Foxhound".(I only say that, because it has been in a few stories, so it's not an isolated incident.) Similarly, Anko as "Hebi" or "Snake".

It just seems impractical to assign a hidden identity, that is so related to something the character is publicly known for.

Of course, amusing ones like "Aardvark" and "Platypus" are generally for humor stories.
[/end rant]

 

Let it Die is fucking terrible. The author spends paragraphs upon paragraphs detailing a decidedly non Harry-potter entity cooking breakfast and dinner. Why it's a 'crossover', I've no idea... it's just a random-OC protagonist. Read that, and then read Fukurou... you'll give this story a 6!

 

new chapter up, and its too dangerous!

 

Might be just me but Danzo's stat list of Harry at the end put me off the fic... and this chapter seemed a little bland.

 

It could be handled better, but unlike many similar lists in other fics and fandoms, this one actually use official stats so I let it slide.

Two contracts are a little worse, but at least chosen animals seems to be interesting.

 

I'm just hoping that the author has enough restraint to prevent a super!harry from developing. With the amount of magic he's been able to employ to date, and despite his 'top 5%' sharingan abilities, I've been hopeful that it wouldn't. But this last chapter has left me a bit worried that it'll end up going that direction - as Harry goes around collecting various powerups. Mind you, first time I've seen these summons used (and maybe second time that episode was referenced), so at least he's not sticking to the common source material and showing a little creativity... it will be interesting to see where he takes it, the background of Madara & his brother could be good.

The two summons though, kind of puts me in mind of when writers give Harry multiple animagus forms... and the poll he has listing various abilities (albeit he says they won't necessarily be in the story) leave me with the sinking sensation that there's more to come. I pray he doesn't let Harry's powers get out of control - it's so much more interesting seeing what he does within realistic limits.

 

I'm not really concerned about this being a Gary-Stu!Harry. Whatever the situation, he is a very old, powerful and canny wizard stuck in the body of an Uchiha. He's found a believable correlation between chakra and magic and has managed (again, believably) to mutate his sharingan, allowing him to use legilimency as a tool for hypnosis. Ridiculous level of power is a given in this scenario.

Can he go out and defeat Madara/Pein/Sandaime in a straight fight at the current point in the story? From what has been on show so far, I doubt the author would write him that way. But can he out-maneuver them? Definitely, and if that's the track the author takes and does it well, I think its perfectly believable. He is older in mind and experience than any human alive in this world after all (Madara included).

All in all, not a bad chapter at all. I do wish he'd present it better, though. The dialogue sequence with Kurotengu and Nekomata was damn awkward to read as was the fanon-esque stat listing of his abilities.

 

The only person I can think of off the top of my head who can probably kill Harry without the chance of getting his head twisted about would be Gai. Gai is probably the best choice for getting rid of Harry as Danzo seems to want to do, but I don't get the feeling that Gai would be a part of the Roots. Anyone else like say Sandaime would have a chance (no matter how small in the Sandaime's case, the dude is a total badass) of getting totally fucked by Harry's eyes and maybe his Voice. So, yes, I can definitely see the ability for Gary-Stu to pop up and am worried.
