Don't see why they went long range with Kabuto as one of them is known for using a sword and the other a bijuu claw technique

"the best friend he ever made".. I still don't UNDERSTAND that one, sasuke never did much more then insult him and grunt... There was NEVER any interaction between them, How do you become a "friend" if the most you can say about the other is "I see them often"? "even though sasuke was a traitor", you forgot tried to kill him twice, left him for dead, tried to kill sakura...See? THESE KINDA THINGS go beyond "traitor".. JUST END HIM AND SMILE! Again, WHAT MEMORIES? They didn't have ANY! Also on the "promise" thing? EXACTLY how was he supposed to do that if he can't go back to the leaf? Are you seeing the logical PROBLEM with that? The "promise" became null and void in chapter one (again more stuff that the whole banishment STUPIDITY creates). His CLAN SYMBOL is most of the leaf's symbol... If nothing else, he should be able to BANISH THE COUNCIL! It makes no sense. I doubt this story WILL be finished because it BREAKS DOWN the further along the timeline you go.

Remember canon? "we keep the symbol red to remember the fallen we could not save of uzu".. Then they toss the last one aside? NOPE! Doesn't work on ANY level of the series... and what's with getting him with older chicks? ("samui") you realize he's gonna live to 200-300 years, her tits are gonna be warming her FEET! YUCK... Get him with someone HIS OWN AGE.

kirin doesn't shape into an animal.. Are you sure your not confusing that technique with sansuoo? Sasuke doesn't HAVE the chakra reserves to both summon lightning and shape it plus direct it. Your endowing him with abilities that the moron just DOESN'T have! (canon does that often for the sake of plot, I thought stories on here would be a little more LOGICAL). Sasuke is a "pampered prince".. He has NO willpower(except for his obsession), he has NO creativity, and he hates it when he's adored but ALSO can't stand attention... (his fan girls he hates and never talks too, but if he lost them all, he whines about his name!) He is mentally a TODDLER.. Thus NOT A GREAT AMOUNT OF CHAKRA (MENTAL and physical energies combined). in the physical, he can train and get LOADS better, mental? He is LACKING! Always will be. He wants to "avenge" his clan? I get that.. but when itachi clues him in (on what he and everyone else SHOULD have figured out), that they were killed on orders... Then he wants revenge on the village, then he wants it on the world... Sorry dude, but only two ways to silence those demons... WALK AWAY from them (because it's NEVER ENOUGH) or PUT A KUNAI into your own skull! I personally think he should go with the latter.. I HATE THAT CHARACTER.

Most of the "secrets" of konoha are PRETTY EASILY figured out. I mean naruto's heritage? DUH there are clues EVERYWHERE not to mention he's a carbon copy! Danzo running a lot of ffs? Who was the third's rival and had an ARMY?.. DUH.. Where is it? Well there is a BARRIER... and an army of nins would have been detected if coming from the outside..soooooooo... The uchiha thing? A single TEENAGER killed EVERYONE (that had apparently all been recalled/back from missions at the same time) in a single night and NO ANBU or ANYONE else noticed?! Too anyone with half-a-brain it sounds like: "corralled", "herded", "contained", "slaughtered". It's NOT THAT TOUGH for anyone to figure out! What I HATE about the series, is all of minato and kushina's "FRIENDS" not being friends when they are gone, because that shows them as slime and it really breaks down the ninja world. After all why would ANYONE have kids, if their friends wouldn't look after them? If enemies THEY made would go after the children when they themselves were dead?... See it calls into question why ANY NIN ANYWHERE would ever do it... There would have to be more ORDER then that. (otherwise there would BE NO NINJA WORLD). As in NO iwa, kumo (never got how ff authors got that they were enemies) or anyone else (except the akutski) would be after naruto... EVER. As far as getting rid of naruto? Then what? The diaymo BOWS down to the new regime? Cause that's what it amounts too.. (he'd HAVE to know that). The rest of the world WILL "rise up" so, he gets to "go down with the ship"? See? The whole CONCEPT of the "naruto gets banished" is FLAWED... I don't mean to speak ill of other authors but it's DUMB... You want naruto with another village?.. So write him going to another village... Being a "wandering bad-ass"? Make him a wandering bad-ass.. It's not that tough, in canon he was BARELY ever in konoha after all.

That being said.. naruto leaving because he's neglected by his family is even MORE dumb... Number one.. In japanese culture the first born son is gonna be doted on WAY more then anyone else.. Number 2 SONS are placed much HIGHER then daughters...Number 3... Why didn't he just defect to another family?

Why didn't naruto just dodge? As stated on another review, EVERYBODY dodges lightning bolts! They strike a PLACE not a person. (usually WHERE said person is standing) Thus the saying "lightning never strikes twice in the same place") Even weaponized lightning wouldn't work beyond a few feet.. (sith lightning) and most DEFINITELY would not originate from the sky! (it's too far).. Also even with the curse mark, kirin leaves sasuke just about on Egypt(empty) in the chakra department, because the gathering of the lightning and the directing is ALL coming from him, so from the sky (MILES above) to the target, all has to come from HIM. and he has a VERY FINITE source of energy. (never understood how sasuke, obedito and others can compete or even in some cases outclass naruto when he's supposed to have nearly UNLIMITED stamina and INFINITE chakra! That just shouldn't be POSSIBLE, but the series tends to keep forgetting that small fact often!)

again OUTDATED material... Sauske never learned to do one handed signs... He had no talent for them... However kirin he MIGHT have learned (since he is the one that created it.. but considering just about ALL nins can dodge a lightning bolt from 10 feet away somehow, one from the sky seems absolutely POINTLESS unless the target is restrained).. Never mind that lightning moves at like 1/4 the speed of LIGHT! and there is NO WAY any nin moves THAT fast, as it would rip their body too pieces not to mention have HORRIFIC atmospheric consequences! (ever notice that even at the speed they move on the series, that they DON'T BREAK THE SOUND barrier? -no sonic boom- and that's NOWHERE even CLOSE too lightning!) and yet they ALL seem to be able to dodge said lightning..Raikairi even got it's name by supposedly cutting a bolt in half. That's either a flat-out LIE or an extremely LUCKY shot.. Because an ARM doesn't PASS anywhere near that quickly, chakra or no chakra, the human body just DOESN'T WORK like that. (now someTHING that ISN'T human? -like naruto- THAT'S a bit more plausible! But kakashi, sasuke, obitedo, nageto, itachi, minato, sarutobi ALL very HUMAN! It would STILL take a LOT of differences BENEATH the skin, even for someone that wasn't human!) Unless you consider ninja NOT human (but then, that makes the hatred of naruto KINDA POINTLESS and nonsensical doesn't it? and it STILL doesn't solve what would HAPPEN to the environment, -sonic booms- at supersonic and FAR, FAR worse as you get close to light speed..GRAVITY problems, TEARS in the magnetosphere, total chaos in the climate/weather, tectonic shifting -because any mass moving at light speed becomes infinite-) ALL these things is why people that CAN move at those speeds (a FEW supers) DON'T in atmospheres..Disappearing and reappearing (even leaving after images) is a WHOLE LOT slower then even SONIC level.. Regardless of what this series and other anime say, you can't train your EYEBALL to see faster... THAT'S JUST DUMB.. It's not a muscle. It has a "visual threshold".. pass it? And you can fool a trained sholin monk as easily as "bob the grocer guy".

"danzo's secret hideout"...? What a JOKE, everybody KNOWS it's an underground bunker under the leaf.. I mean like EVERYONE who would READ this, KNOWS EXACTLY where it is! and how an ENTIRE village with people that have x-ray vision and EARTH powers have NEVER NOTICED it, is KINDA A HUGE PLOT HOLE! Also one would have to ask... WHY WOULD TSUNADE or JIRIYIA stay in the leaf? Tsunade ONLY CAME BACK BECAUSE OF NARUTO! That is the SOLE reason! and jiriyia only stayed to find the "chosen one" whom he KNOWS by the training trip IS NARUTO! So again, why would EITHER STAY? It doesn't make sense. The decision to banish naruto is one the LEAF CANNOT AFFORD to make.. It costs them TOO MUCH! The whole "failing to bring back sasuke" doesn't cut it, as MOST (if not all EXCEPT naruto and team 7) have GIVEN UP on him by the timeskip so that doesn't work.. Also sasuke left and NOTHING happened to the village (because sasuke has NO allies, NO friends, there are NO repercussions to the village if he leaves, dies or anything else with naruto there are HUGE ramifications for them!)

"talentless brat" your thinking WAY before the time skip... Naruto's already beat several CHUNNIN and JOUNNIN, an S-rank, beaten orochi twice, a sea monster and a bijuu ALONE, and is one of the 3 people alive that can use the rasengan. Danzo should KNOW he's FAR from "talentless"! AGAIN your using OUTDATED thinking FAR too LATE in the story! At THIS point in the story, the village is completely STUPID to toss him away and danzo EVEN MORE SO (you need to do this A LOT earlier) Preferably before the chunnin exams and he shows all the OTHER villages he can beat a bijuu alone, not to mention becomes the SOLE reason for trade with the lands of: snow, birds, rice, flowers, waves, sea, fang and claw! It's political and economic SUICIDE to throw him out now! (or have you forgotten the MOVIE and all the "filler"?)

Again several logical falicices here, why would danzo send a weak sauce out to kill him if he was the one that banished him? Wouldn't it make a WHOLE lot more since to keep him? (which he already had)... Why would he send out one with a mask that lit him up if the seal on his tongue ALREADY did that? Isn't that kinda giving proof? NONE of this exactly makes SENSE.. You need to take in the ENTIRE series.. then look at it (readers do).

I never understood the whole "banishment" thing, They give up their only jinchuriki and the one that ALL their treaties are based on.. to gain?.. There is nothing to be gained here.. and a lot to be lost...There is no way they are gonna give up their only "nuclear weapon", over anything... I don't care about the history, it's just not gonna happen, they can't afford to do it... I never understood hiding naruto's heritage, yes he MIGHT (maybe) have enemies outside the village but OBVIOUSLY he has a lot more INSIDE the village, so shouldn't protecting him from them kinda get first priority?

Even the sasuke angle.. other then NARUTO, everyone else in the entire VILLAGE has given him up as orochi-fodder... His clan is DEAD... DEFUNCT.. GONE... Nobody gives a shit... (he is that ONLY weird attachment that keeps it going in the series)

Your wanna beat naruto.. even without added powers?.. You send a PLATOON of KAGES (which he can't do).. otherwise.. you already know... "YOU LOSE".

danzo knows naruto BEAT a chuninnin already before he became a gennin.. and that was BEFORE he beat a bijuu and before he beat an s-rank and before he trained for three years with a kage... A chunnin was WEAK SAUCE.

You want naruto to be weak, but at the timeline you give that's IMPOSSIBLE.. You want "chunnin" to be thought of as opponents, but danzo should know that's way, way below him now... But jounnin and above (kage level) CANNOT be banished since they are kinda what the village is ABOUT.. so you have kinda written yourself into a problem.

So a "chunnin" is expected to beat someone that beat a bijuu alone? WHEN KAGES can't do it, huh?.. Then three years with a sannin?... Are u starting to see the logistic gap here?

The rasengan is an A-rank ASSASSINATION jutsu.. hitting someone with it shouldn't be like a punch, it should be like putting your ARM through them... OR a knife through their internal organs... Not a "knockout".. a "put him on the slab, he's DEAD"... that's why it's NOT TAUGHT and only naruto knows it.

"A skilled ranked chunnin"? Naruto already was THERE for beating 5 jounin, taking out a BIJUU single handed, and beating an S-rank IN THIS STORY, how does a CHUNIN rank that?... (all of that was cannon at the time of this story.. and JUST after the time-skip... like IMMEDIATELY after it... Mizuki was a CHUNNIN and he beat him single handed before he even graduated! He fought orochi to a STAND-STILL on the fight he was banished for! ALONE!)...USE SOME LOGIC!
