It's a formal title...Aside from some missing spaces in the FFA version, no problems that I saw.
Friend of All Children, huh? Does that mean he'll be siccing the Boss on Hiashi eventually? :D And poor Iruka.
You will get to see the Boss when the time is right.Formal Title, huh? I have an honest question... are you perchance trolling people who get the reference? Or is the Formal Title something you put in for fun because it puts a smile on your face? Well, it puts a smile on my face too, just from the mental imagery.
Now explain that one to me, because I knew there was something weird about the name but the rest went over my head. I haven't been on this board as long, but I'm guessing this a reference to one of the other users?Ayame's friend, Aldraia. I see what you did there...
That part had me rolling for a bit.Hmm... I have a feeling the "Iruka's Secret" thing is going to come back to bite him in the ass.
Much funner to absorb the unresolved political tension. Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck.I was also half hoping that Hiashi and Tsunade would have a semi-violent encounter (possibly involving Tsunade super-punching an active Kaiten).
Can we just say "manga" instead of "the other canon", like it's some kind of taboo, like it's some kind of trollop that no one wants to talk about? I've been seeing that a lot lurking here. It comes off as incredibly pretentious and mean-spirited.Uhh... in the 'other canon,' didn't Gai summon a tortoise, not a turtle? *goes and checks* .....Yeah, it was a tortoise. (Granted, the Turtle contract could (maybe?) be used for both turtles and tortoises... I'll accept it either way.)
I'm curious about that one too. At first I thought it had something to do with Gai, when Naruto was thinking about what he wanted. Had to be something involving either Iruka, Asuma, Sarutobi, Naruto, Shino, or Hinata. My guess would on Iruka's Secret.And what was the "gag that was planned since chapter 1" (direct quote from A/N)? I'm thinking it was either the Jiraiya-Tsunade conversation or the Aburame's use of bugs as pest removal.
When you mention that, I'm sort of worried that Team 8 is going to get a Trope Overload again. I really don't want to see that happen again. Same happened for People Lie, Chunin Exam Day, and There and Back Again. It's really annoying when popular fics get that surge of people trying to claw up every trope and exaggerate as much as they can.Also, absolutely loved the scenes that had Naruto, Shino, and Hinata in them as a group. I think the hug is definitely a Crowning Moment of Awww (if it isn't, it's DAMN close...).
And Dech, I'm pretty sure most people are still kind of reeling in shock at some of the plot (and pseudo-plot) reveals in this chapter. I'm still trying to wrap my head around some of it... Particularly how her teammate managed to have the Byakugan.
Uh, Nit? I don't think mentioning who you think the Boss Summon is by name is appropriate at this stage... as Matt could easily pull something else out of his sleeves to surprise us all. Not that it wouldn't be awesome, but still... Of course, I could still be wrong and it could really be the Naruto version to the Friend to all Children.Anyway, Gamera as the boss summon is great. What's next...?
Honestly, I doubt we will actually see any of the canon arcs from this point onwards. The story has diverged so much at this point, that I think we are in full AU territory now (the timeskip is not even going to be that long for instance), not to mention that the authorlord outlined the entire story years ago. I do wonder if he might incorporate some elements of the original series that have been revealed in the meantime, though.I'm sort of hoping that Kurenai might come back as an Edo Tensei, but, maybe we should just skip the War Arc... still, her perspective of a future Team 8 could be interesting, tearjerking, heartwarming, the whole gamut.
Heh, or imagine, Kotoamatasu-whatever inadvertently gets used on Edo Kurenai, and then she gets to fight alongside Future Team 8.
Don't worry, it's only a phase and it will pass. Don't forget to roll 2D6 during your sanity check at the door.Dammit. Now my mind is trying to find some kind of pseudo-rational reason for pretty much everything... which usually ends with my head in a LOOOOT of pain.
That's for sanity damage, right?... I don't have much of that left, anyways...Don't worry, it's only a phase and it will pass. Don't forget to roll 2D6 during your sanity check at the door.Dammit.
