Reviews for Naruto vs Sasuke: The Aftermath
Axccel chapter 69 . 7/15
I still don't understand why any writer would think Naruto is "Namikaze". They almost all change his name after it's revealed. Minato married a member of a clan, which means there wouldn't be any name changes. At best he would change his name to Uzumaki if they weren't keeping the marriage a secret. He wasn't even from a clan. In marriage between different clans, whoever is more prestigious is generally the one married into (which is the point of marrying someone from a more prestigious clan). There can be negotiations about it, of course.

No matter what, Kushina sure as fuck wouldn't have taken Minato's name as that would have meant the extinction of the Uzumaki clan. I'm sure some idiots would argue "No, just that the name would change" or some such nonsense. Yeah, and then they'd be "Namikaze" and not "Uzumaki" and so the honor and glory attached to their name would be attributed to a different name. A name none of the Uzumaki ever fought under and died for. Not to mention the idiocy of changing the clan name just because of a marriage.

...Hinata is NOT going to pleased with Naruto when she learns about this. If anyone is more forgiving than Naruto, it's Hinata.

In any case, his anger is understandable, though it's also blinding him from considering the state Sakura was in at the time after being raped and tortured (and yes, I know that was before the rest of the Sound-nin got involved). Very few people would have had the awareness after that to not just spout stuff to try and hurt their attacker (or just curl up quietly, I guess). Let alone a twelve year old with almost no training.

Zero sympathy for Kurenai. She didn't even try to brush off Asuma or tell him off or anything in front of Kakashi. She gave no indication she wasn't welcoming it. She doesn't have to tell him she loves him, she just has to not send blatant screaming signs that she's with someone else. For fuck's sake, her behavior is that of a woman trying to show someone else that she's taken.

Gotta love those kids!

What Tsunade SHOULD tell the council is "You know the situation and you know damn well emotional highs cause Jinchuuriki to go bijuu to a degree and this is an incredibly extreme situation. If you don't like it, reality doesn't give a shit. If you have a problem with this, I'll just kill you and dissolve your positions. If the public doesn't like it, I hope they have life insurance." She's the freaking Hokage. She is the absolute military dictator of a warrior civilization. She has ZERO need to conform to any council. At the end of the day, she has the power to kill them all and her shinobi wouldn't even blink.

I think Sakura has finally become a decent person and quite strongly at that. Her guilt and shame isn't even directed at what happened to her but at how her behavior has affected someone else. It's a huge growth to her character and would be impressive in even a normal person.
Axccel chapter 28 . 7/15
Tsunade, or rather you in this chapter, is full of shit. Bringing Hinata back would have ensured her safety and they had no reason to believe Kakashi and Kurenai couldn't have done well enough together. And even if the other two would have died, the only reason they didn't all end up dead or Hinata captured AND most of the others ending up dead as sheer luck, plot, and Kakashi being such a badass. You're having Tsunade outright state that basically assuming everything will magically turn out okay and endangering your comrades' lives on the assumption it'll work out is a good thing and proper decision making. No, that is insane. That is what someone would say who is trying to get her subordinates killed. They could easily have sent Akamaru as a man-beast clone back with not only the message but also with Hinata Some bugs could have been hidden under her clothes to serve as an extra surprise defense and distraction if they were intercepted.

This was wonderful chapter. I really do like politics stuff in naruto verse and the one so wonderfully done is much better. Keep up the great work.
Axccel chapter 27 . 7/12
Really? They took Hinata, who at this time is dead weight due to her injuries, into combat with numerous chuunin and one or more jounin of which one is on Kakashi’s level. Shikamaru was entirely correct. Heck, why didn’t Akamaru use the man beast form to carry Hinata back to the village since he was going there with a message anyway?

And Shika gave in to his friends because they asked how he’d feel if it were Ino? If it were Ino his decision would have been the same. His whole character is about cold logic over emotions. Even more so for Shino.

All they’re doing is giving Hinata to the enemy. The foe doesn’t even need to beat the Konoha-nin; they only need to snatch the now helpless Hinata and run away. A Hinata whom these morons brought with them to the enemy’s largest concentration of power and numbers. Even if all the rookies were present they would be curbstomped and they know it yet they took Hinata with them anyway.

I hope Naruto informs them of his...displeasure. Heck, I hope Kurenai is horrified by their stupidity and Tsunade severely punishes them. Their action in taking the enemy’s prize RIGHT TO THEM is practically treasonous. It’s so bad that to an ignorant outsider it would look like these guys were purposely trying to give Hinata to the enemy.

I find it...let's say "unlikely" a ninja village would let any of its members of secret camps anywhere. Oh sure the Hokage would let them think it's secret, but it wouldn't truly be. The safety risk would be far too great. Who wouldn't want to poach enemy ninja on their lonesome in some secret getaway it would take a long time for anyone to find and no help would even know to be deployed?

Shikamaru and Neji are right. Shikamaru for his argument and Neji for a different reason. I think you're trying to portray them as misogynists (or at least Neji that way and Shika as just exercising common sense), but it falls flat when the rest is considered. Think about what happened to Sakura and now remember that no village would send anyone to sniff at to go into or near an enemy village to find and kidnap a very important member of that village. The danger of such a mission would be astronomical. No, you'd send powerful ninja and a lot of them. That means that the rescue attempt would be nearly suicidal and considering what happened to Sakura, if the girls went along it's pretty much guaranteed that's what would happen to them. So the boys stopping them from going is completely reasonable and the girls were letting their pride get the better of them. Because that's the only reason the girls would have put themselves in such a position: pride. Which is utterly worthless.

...how is Kurenai a jounin when she has zero perception skill?
Axccel chapter 22 . 7/11
"a Namikaze" Minato gave himself that name as he was an orphan. There aren't any other Namikaze as it was made up. And Naruto is not a Namikaze, he's an Uzumaki. Minato married a member of a clan, she did not marry out of the clan. Even if their marriage was public he would still have been Namikaze and she would still have been Uzumaki and their children would have only been Uzumaki. If they were both from clans, he'd marry into the more prestigious clan, which would ALWAYS been the Uzumaki clan as they founded and ruled a hidden village AND a nation. It doesn't get more prestigious than being both literal royalty and metaphorical royalty at the same time. Not to mention their role in creating Konoha. Political negotiations of clans could change this for that marriage, of course, but since Minato was never from a clan that's moot.

I have read exactly ONE Naruto story whose writer was aware of this and even had Naruto point it out that his friends should have already know it as a bit of a jab at other writers.
