Reviews for Son of the Sannin
Guest chapter 1 . 14h
Ok so trained by two of the strongest ninja alive and in cannon has proven when someone trains him he improves impossibly fast so why is he weaker than he was in cannon. Why are you making ocs that have all these op powers? This is about naruto but you make him weak and other people shine.

No, they are unable to use chidori. This is too stupid.

It’s a good story so far (chapter 30) but I think that it is not realistic enough about naruto power level : he was trained by both sannin and he has the shadow clones and he is barely strong enough to win against sasuke ?! That’s a problem. Same about his fight against gara, and no way Tsunade’s misfortune can win against his fortune. And where is his genius inventiveness ? That is the only big bad point I have about the story. I’ll see about the futur.
Take care and all the best

This is another reason why I don't like Konoha.

While other major villages are also scheming and they are not better than Konoha, Konoha do have some sort of superiority complex against other villages, major or not. And I think this also affects the villagers.

When it comes to Jinchuriki though, Jiraiya is much, much better than Gaara's father since he's much more concerned with the children themselves compared to village's interest.

Hiruzen is much less overly emotional compared to Jiraiya when it comes to Orochimaru which is a good thing. Otherwise it will be even more difficult to point out who the real schemer behind the Kyuubi incident.

It's good to see that Hinata's mother is also saved due to Naruto's butterfly effect.

Looks like Kakashi is finally going to get some closure, likely by venting any and all lingering frustration he has towards his father.

It's good to see Hiashi didn't become an unnecessary victim.

I'm looking forward to see Jiraiya successfully preventing the Uchiha massacre from happening.

I bet that Hiruzen will be grinning ear to ear when he heard what happened with the two sages. Things are going even better than his wildest dream.

I think it's OK to move the relationship between Jiraiya and Tsunade faster. Just like what you said, they have known each other for such a long time.

It will be kind of awkward. especially to those of the younger generations who know them personally to witness their new relationship though. But they will also be happy for them.

As much as I like Jiraiya, he can be stubborn when it comes to Orochimaru issue which are ironically similar to the way Naruto behaved towards Sasuke in earlier times.

Aside from Orochimaru's grudges with Hiruzen and eventually with Konoha itself (I don't like the hypocritical and judgemental Konoha villagers, ever), he's a brilliant scientist and his knowledge is treasured by many (although the same people are not really better than the villagers themselves).

I always have certain dislike towards any Naruto character prioritizing his/her village interest above his/her companions' lives and that also applies to anyone that I like.

Companions are definitely much, much more important than the village/society.

It was a pity that Jiraiya didn't survive the battle with Nagato, unlike those who were killed but eventually revived when Nagato attacked Konoha.

Nagato is still one of my top favorite antagonist though.

Among those teaching Naruto, I like Jiraiya the most. More than even Kakashi.

Another very nice chapter.

Beginning with talk about jinchuriki as a family and trust in their friends strength is real touching. Animal squad is doing very well.

Animal squad is doing very well. Confrontation with Kakuzu was nice way of showing their growth. While having Kiba and Tamaki learning things from the sensei is not only reasonable but expected and I like techniques. I have some problem with name. I would say that they are little too far from original to have Chidori in name. I would prefer simple Raiton. It wouldn't undermined the fact that those techniques used Chidori basics to be developed.

Mifune don't disappoint and show why he is leader of samurais. I wonder what changes you will introduce in his confrontation with Hanzo.

Confrontation with random Uchiha was funny because of bickering. I hope that in future you will give more focus to rebels and how village develop after their death.

While Hanabi haven't opportunity to distinguish herself before war I am not surprised that commander knew her name. In term of raw power she is most likely most powerful person in this division. While she is hampered by inexperienced and rashness it is more of the reason for commander to focus on her so his experience and level headed may direct this power to where it will be most useful. Her fight show it great that she have thing to learn about her powers.
You mentioned that this specific battlefield is especially dens with Uchiha and HYUGA Edo Tensei. This make me expect her to confront Hiashi. Everybody else are meeting their fathers here. What's more it will be very interesting to see his reaction to all changes. From more pragmatic reason Hyuga may be among hardest to take down in one big hit and she is one of very few able to deal consistent scratch damage to Edo Tensei.

Air forces are really nice idea. Konan once again show that paper control instantly go from gimmicky to terrifying when it is also main part of explosive. Her not leading the force come purely from moral reason, she have skills and Hokage trust.

Shibuki part was good. I really like his doubt and his father explaining him that he did nothing wrong, I like this. I wonder if You will be mentioned in their talk.

Ending was what people was expecting and waiting for (at least I was). Kakashi give his father cold shoulder. While it is understandable that he is conflicted about this meeting and cope by focusing on a mission it give incorrect depiction to his parent. I wouldn't be surprised if Sakumo will blame himself for making his son into more or less how he was before Obito "death".

Overall nice chapter but I see it more as a set up for even better events in this battle.

This chapter stands as a testimony to your creative prowess.

Students modifying their teachers techniques for their own use? That idea has enough potential for it’s own fic! Imagine a heavenly spin amped by an army of shadow clones or the air palm launching rasengan’s!?

PS- Son of the sanin is officially tied with team 8 for my favorite Naruto fic.

KEEP BEING AWESOME!
TheGreatGodzilla chapter 107 . 7/23
After the war is over, the topics of the issues regarding the central government is discussed, and the treaty to formalize the Ninja Alliance is signed, what will be the ninjas' next move? I know that you said that geography of Naruto's world is not a big issue at the moment. But after what all that I said earlier happened, it will definitely be one. Why? Because the kingdoms, empires and other states outside of the ninjas lands will eventually heard of this. And if they heard of the formation of the Ninja Alliance from the merchants who used to take advantages when all hidden villages were waging wars against each other by making profits from those wars, who would most likely tell them about how much insidious, deceptive and barbaric the ninjas are and they're up to the aggressive imperial expansion now that they're unified into a confederate polity, it won't be good for the ninjas. Of course, the samurais of the Land of Iron can intervene and help their ninja allies. But those foreign rulers are going to questioned them why they helped them since they never get themselves into the affairs of the ninjas before. And one of those kingdoms can be Roran. If it existed, of course.
I mentioned this because the readers have yet to know that does the Kingdom of Roran exist in your story or not, and to make you know that every good leader would wanted to know if the new polity that emerged nearby would be a threat to them or not. And if it is, should they send envoys to negotiate and form good relations with them or order the pre-emptive strike.

And who do you planned to be love interests for Rin and Anko? I'm a bit disappointed in the canon
that Anko didn't get married and have children of her own despite having a body that every man would be lusting after. But I guess it's just that, lust. Also, it is highly possible that she has BDSM,
which may eventually resulted in many potential boyfriends of hers to decided to leave her alone.

By the way, I'm happy to see not only the battles between the late fathers and their sons. But also get to see the Kamizuru Clan and the Aburame Clan are actually working together. Despite that they're being forced to do so due to the circumstances. However, that might not stop them from eventually earning each other's respects. This made me think of the Battle of Badr, the battle where the Arab tribes of Medina who used to hate each other so much now have to work with one another alongside with Prophet Muhammad and his Muslim followers from Mecca in the battle against the Arab pagans who happened to be their fellow Meccans. After all, it is a battle where sons are fighting against their fathers, brothers against brothers, and former slaves against their previous masters.

If you need help in creating kingdoms, empires, or nations outside of the Ninja Peninsula, I can help you create some. Besides, I would found that ninjas and samurais are just the two major combat occupations in Naruto's world. I don't know that Cossacks can exist or not. But for Hwarang, Wuxia, and Mamluks, I have high hope for them.

And the reason I specifically chose the map of Arabia during Prophet Muhammad's time is because
it is one of the easiest and most basic forms of what Ninja Peninsula and its surrounding lands supposed to look like. Not to mention that the constant tribal wars between the Arab city-states
and the hidden villages of the ninjas looked and sounded awfully similar to one another. I'm merely pointing out the obvious, of course.

Excellent chapter and good job showing 'Heart is an Awesome Power' with the ninja ability to command animals and make a full on other division! Kakashi vs Sakumo is something that should have been in canon too.
