Great story so far, really interested to see where you go from here.

there is a major issue with this chapter.

despite the new Chizuru identity, there still should have been an immediate reaction to meeting someone who carries the Uzumaki surname as Chizuru once did as Naruto.

the total lack of a reaction beyond "they are great at seals" is jarring

Interesting development, though I have to wonder: are you doing the thing where Kushina was alive the whole time, or is this a sealed shadow clone? Guess I'll have to wait to find out!

Fantastic story idea good amounts of training action and angst I NEED MORE

Hmm...This is not expected. It seems like that Chizuru is somewhat the same as his/her old personality.

Now I have the question. For Naruto/Chizuru, are you going to make him/ her a fully functioning female? Where she will be able to have kid in the future? Have periods, and all that?

Sakura and ino WTF jajajajajaja fanservise 100%

Nice work

Excellently done.

Err, is the ink affinity a ripoff of Tobirama’s and Minato’s(Kushina’s) ability to make seals from chakra? Wouldn’t it be better for her to just learn the technique from something Jiraiya or Sarutobi gives her?

Excellent update

Delete yourself.

i'am agree with other readers, replace naruto tag by naruko. and be more explicit in your description it is a fem!naruto (if we can really call this, since chizuru has almost nothing common with naruto, whatever it is physical traits, attitude, hobbies or even tastes, the only common traits are having kyuubi and same friends)

keep up the good work

Interesting story, with an interesting concept. Yet I noticed a distinct lack of students wondering what happened to Naruto, especially Hinata. Can't wait for more!

Seems weird how nobody seems to mention Naruto's absence at all, not even Hinata. It's like no one has even noticed.
