AN: Well, last chapter was embarrassing to me. I didn't include Natsumi because I had so much to write about when it came to Naruto interacting with the kids in the academy and setting up friendships and other things. I see that some people didn't like the fact that Naruto could train Sasuke. I assure you all that I'm not just giving Sasuke power, there is a reason for that just like there's a reason for everything. You just have to wait and see what it is.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters from the manga or show, the same goes for Spiderman and its animated series or comic books.

Faith of an Avenger

Chapter 6

"Why are you helping me?"

Naruto sighed, rubbing his temples before lifting his unusual glare settled on the raven haired kid. Sasuke glared right back, his arms crossing over his chest. It wasn't so much that Sasuke wasn't grateful, he was; on some small level in a miniscule portion of his mind, very grateful to the blond for what he'd extended in offer.

He just didn't show it.

"I'm helping you get over this by showing you that the power you have will be enough for your goal. Your brother did a horrible thing, but you shouldn't be letting it control how you act. That's like saying that you'll give him your Sharingan because he said he didn't want it."

Sasuke scowled petulantly at this remark, opening his mouth to retort and making Naruto speak to cut him off.

"I know you wouldn't, but I know you're smart enough to understand what I'm saying. You need to do this for you and not because you're angry or hurt. He'll pay, but you shouldn't go out of your way to make him regret doing it because in the end you'll just end up exactly like him."

Sasuke paused at this, his ire beginning to lessen until he could begin to really see what the blond was talking about. The more he thought about what he was talking about, the more he realized that Itachi had been playing him from the start. He'd killed everyone, ruthlessly, but when it came to his little brother he couldn't do it, why?

He'd used the Tsukuyomi.

Sasuke shuddered unconsciously, causing Naruto to frown and settle a hand on his shoulder. Sasuke jumped and scowled, brushing his hand away. He needed more time to think, to understand.

"Just train me and I'll figure out what I want to do."

Naruto sighed and rolled his eyes while he crossed his arms, his Rinnegan glaring hotly at the raven haired Sharingan user.

"I'll train you, but if I don't like how you're going on I'll stop. Understand?"

Sasuke sneered but didn't say anything, choosing to walk away just as Iruka opened the door to the Academy classroom and called them all inside. Naruto, shrugging his shoulders with a sigh, stuck his hands in his pockets and wandered toward the door just as Ino and Sakura came running up to join him in his walk.

Classroom

Naruto took a seat at the back of the room, folding his arms over his chest as he leaned back in his chair. Closing his eyes, he began to call out to Natsumi mentally, wondering why he'd been without her presence for so long. He hadn't noticed it, chalking it up to her being asleep again, but then again she hadn't called on him to train in a long time, for her anyway, and he was worried.

Then there was the slime he'd come to terms with.

It was always hungry and always willing to do whatever it took to gain some extra power. The first time he'd encountered its fierce hunger, he'd been training alone and had blacked out. It hadn't been pretty when he'd come to, and he had vowed then and there to never allow it to gain any control what so ever.

Flashback year four of the training trip.

Sighing, Naruto plopped down in the clearing he had been training in and rubbed his eyes, weary from lack of sleep and fatigue. He hadn't been sleeping well, plagued with monstrous images of a battle between a gigantic spider and the only thing he could recognize as familiar in the dream.

A gigantic orange nine tailed fox.

The fight was as bloody as they were large, the spider continuously leeching the fox's chakra only for the fox to simply call upon even more of its limitless chakra supply. Every time the fox struck, the portion that was damaged on the Spider's body would simply explode in a hail of stringy black sludge that attached itself to anything it touched and sucked it dry of any and all energy it possessed.

Naruto suppressed a shiver.

"I hate spiders."

This was when Natsumi chose to speak to him in his mind. Her alluring voice echoed faintly, yet clearly to him from all around him and nowhere at the same time. It was like she was right there, but he knew if he looked around, looking for her, he'd only look like an idiot and amuse her enough to prompt her to make fun of him.

She did that enough as it was.

"Naruto-kun."

He internalized his response, simply thinking about whatever he wanted to say to her so that he wouldn't appear to be talking to himself. He had people that thought he was evil and bloodthirsty as it was already and he didn't need people to think he was crazy to boot.

"Yes, Natsumi-chan?"

There was a pause.

"I want you to take a break. Our little visitor is getting restless again. Your mental control sucks, so I have to keep it under wraps until you can control it at a level so that you can either use it or hide it."

Naruto glowered at this, slouching with a pout.

"Natsumi-chan, when you put it that way you make me sound really stupid."

She replied with a leering voice that practically oozed amusement. She replied with a grin in her voice and laughter on the tip of her tongue.

"You said it, not me."

Naruto scowled and closed his eyes, concentrating so that he could enter his mindscape. This made Natsumi look up and focus her intense gaze directly on him. She grinned and licked her lips when he came into view, her eyes turning predatory.

This made Naruto pale.

"None of that, Natsumi-chan."

She pouted, her arms crossing under her ample bosom in a childish display of displeasure. This made Naruto look away from her, his cheeks tinted red. She grinned and padded over to the flustered boy and hugged him into her chest, his face snuggled between her breasts. Naruto could think only one thing at this point.

Damn it.

"Aww, Naruto-kun, don't be like that… I think I'm entitled to some fun time with my host after doing so much work."

Naruto flailed, trying to escape her iron like grip so that he could get some air into his lungs. With a grin, the red haired vixen released him so that he could back up far enough to breathe but not far enough to get away from her cleavage.

"Natsumi-chan…. I came here to help you help me."

He looked up at her with those ripple patterned eyes and she bit her lip again. She just couldn't help it, she had been sealed away for so long and… she had needs. She knew she'd have to wait a bit longer, but she knew the blond gaki was going to be absolutely and breathtakingly…

Delicious.

He was going to be a little blond Adonis and she was going to stake her claim early and reap the benefits later. When Naruto frowned at her, she realized he'd wanted her opinion and she'd been simply staring at him like a moron. When he opened his mouth to speak she stuck his head back between her breasts, causing him to squeak and her to stroke the back of his head, cooing affectionately.

"Aww, thank you Naruto-kun, but… how are you going to do that?"

He planted his hands on her sides and pushed, the touch making her squirm a bit and her grip loosen on him. He came up, gasping with glassed over eyes. She snickered, watching him take a calming breath.

"I'm going to see if it can be reasoned with. "

And he had, his bravery making her frown because she knew he was too brave for his own good. His heart was too damned good for him to sit by and watch anyone do something for his sake while he stood idly by.

And he'd get hurt over it, too.

This made her sad, because she knew it was in his nature and because of that he was going to either end up dead or seriously injured.

It scared her, a little.

She bit her lip and tapped a finger against her forearm after she crossed her arms.

Okay, maybe more than a little.

When he'd gone into the cell he'd conjured for it, she had known that something would go wrong. She had known that whenever he did something, nothing ever went according to plan.

So when it took over his body, she hadn't been too terribly surprised.

He'd been covered in head to toe in it, a form fitting breathable material that not even her claws could rend through easily and even then it just regenerated itself perfectly every time. When she'd looked outside to see the changes, she'd been completely surprised by what she'd seen.

His body had changed, his musculature having grown in mass tremendously as had his stature. He had been pretty short before this started, now she was sure if he'd been standing before her in this form he'd easily tower above her.

It scared her and thrilled her at the same time.

She watched as he carved a swathe of destruction into the surrounding tree line, the black mass around him, encompassing him in this black suit like interface, writhing about on top of his skin as it lashed out at anything and everything it could detect an energy signature from.

Chakra.

Life energy.

Chi.

Ki.

Everything it could detect, it attacked and drained it dry. And then her delicious little blond had come to stand beside her, beating back this… this…

Infection.

Yes, he beat back this infection with only his will power and his sheer strength of self. He forced it back into its cage and had since taken to going back into the cage to understand how it worked. He'd made more progress with it than she'd thought, gaining the abilities of this monster and growing more intelligently aware of it every time he came back.

Flashback end

With a sigh Naruto called out, mentally, to Natsumi again and received no answer yet again. With a frown, he tested calling out a small amount of her power. It worked, but only for a moment and the amount he called out took entirely too long for him to focus.

Now he was really worried.

Closing his eyes, he leaned his head back and began to try any means of entering his mind. He tried hard to tune out the chattering of Ino and Sakura s they got reacquainted with one another after, apparently, so long apart from one another. He managed to tune out Sasuke as he drummed his fingers on his desk, impatient as always.

He was rewarded by his surrounding changing to that of an open plain with a gigantic house at its center. This was where he was going, and fast, because as soon as he entered his mind she should have been there, playing with him, toying with his with that amusing glint in her eye and the jeering laughter in her voice.

As it stood, he could barely feel any of her presence at all, and it was starting to terrify him.

He burst into her usual lounging area and swept his eyes around the room, looking for any sign of her. His heartbeat practically hammering his ribcage and making him vibrate. Then he saw it, a pale clearly feminine hand extended from behind a pile of cushions.

He hoped she was sleeping.

He walked briskly over to her and impatiently tossed away the superfluous cushions so that he could see her. He was terrified, each cushion amplifying his anxiety tenfold as he moved them out of his way.

What he found broke his heart.

She was there, lying as if asleep, but he knew she wasn't. Her eyes were wide open, staring ahead of her unseeing and glassy and her skin was faintly warm, but her body heat was still there. Her chakra was almost completely drained, and he could see the puncture marks at the base of her neck as he lifted her into his arms.

He could feel her breathing, and when he checked he found a pulse.

Barely.

Then he saw it, the gigantic black figure of a rather large spider as it descended on a web a few feet from them both. Its eyes, compound and staring intently, never once looked away, not even as the blond scooped up the taller woman and carried her to a new pile of cushions to lay her there. He closed her eyes and then turned away from her to glare at the silent beast.

How had it escaped?

How hadn't he known?

Why didn't she call him?

He was frustrated and angry, his fists clenching.

"Back into your cage, Venom."

It didn't seem to hear him, its mandibles clicking noisily as it seemed to bounce in place. Naruto grew more incensed and, in a rare display of rage, yanked up his shirt just as, the now identified; venom lunged at him with a screech.

His fingers locked over the seal and with a rotation of his wrist the same chains that bound the Kyuubi sprang forth from everywhere around the room to bind the great black spider, kicking and screeching as it sought to devour his power.

It couldn't, and seemed to realize this, as it stopped struggling and simply took to staring at him. As he turned away, the chains dragged away the beast, further into his mind and away from his precious Natsumi.

He felt useless, even if he'd eventually gotten to her… It hadn't been enough. It would never be enough, until she was free of his presence so she could be free to do as she pleased without any obligations.

Without him to look after, she'd be better off.

"Natsumi-chan?"

He'd called out to her, gently shaking her at her shoulder while he did and when she didn't respond in anyway, he began to cry. He shook her a bit more vigorously, his tear streamed face hovering over her until she opened her dulled crimson eyes and stared up at him. She took notice of his face and it made her heart soar to know she meant so much. Reaching up with shaky hands, she wiped away his tears and spoke, her voice quaking and unsteady.

"Stop crying, baka… "

He couldn't and tried to speak, but all that escaped him was more sobbing. He was relieved and still very much afraid of losing her because she wasn't alright and she was very, very weak.

She smiled and, in typical fashion for her, pulled his face between her breasts and stroked his hair as he cried his eyes out. She stroked her fingers through his hair and, showing that she was recovering, if very slowly, by sitting up and hugging him to her chest.

"I'm alright, Naruto-kun… You saved me. Shh, it's alright…"

Outside, classroom.

It took Naruto ten minutes to get himself together n hid mindscape, and it was ten minutes of Natsumi soothing his broken heart. He was so very unwilling to leave her, and as much as she wanted him to be as close as he was, but she knew he had to pull himself together and return to the outside world.

He needed to graduate and meet his team, after all.

So, she held him and comforted him by reassuring him and letting him know that she would be fine. She'd even teased him a bit, but he'd only held onto her as tightly as possible. She couldn't help but feel amazed at his ability to stand so tall when he alone shouldered the weight of his existence, but when other did it for him it broke him to see them hurt.

He was such a selfless person.

And she loved it.

She could feel him, even now, peeking into their mental link to check up on her and it made her blush to know that he was this protective her. She was the Kyuubi, the strongest of tailed beasts and by all rights she should have been offended by his ever watchful gaze.

But it only served to endear him to her more.

She watched as the scar faced chunin began to speak and chuckled as Naruto ignored him in favor of watching her. When his name was called he didn't hear it, and so she got his attention by purring in such a way that he nearly got a nose bleed.

"Better pay attention out there, Naruto-kun…"

He snapped to attention and hopped up to get his headband, red faced and completely embarrassed. She laughed long and loud at that image, his form sinking back into his seat after he'd tied his headband around his head. He paid attention after that, but still popped into their mental link fequently. She didn't dare tease him about his over protectiveness because she knew it could set him off again and then he'd never want to go back out into the real world again.

When Iruka announced the team placements, he barely paid attention to anything but his own name and the team number. For him, everything went by in a blur because he was always hovering between awake and unconscious due to him checking up on Natsumi so much.

The best thing was when his Sensei appeared to them three hours late, he hadn't noticed and simply stood when the familiar face mask and eye smiling Kakashi peeked his head into their classroom and told them to meet him on the roof.

He'd gone straight there on autopilot, not quite checking up on Natsumi as much. Sakura was taking notice of his scattered awareness, because she'd been talking to him and he hadn't even heard her. She'd gotten mad and yanked on his ear hard enough to tilt his head, and he still hadn't so much as winced.

What was up with him?

She looked at Sasuke and found him not even paying attention to either her or Naruto, much to her displeasure. He was simply walking with them to the roof, hands stuck in the pockets of his khaki shorts as he ascended the staircase to the roof with Naruto and Sakura in tow.

Roof

Kakashi eye smiled when his Genin walked out onto the roof and took seats in the three chairs he'd set up a few minutes prior to his arrival. The pink haired one he smiled at and she glared, probably because he was so late.

"Alright then, I'm Hatake Kakashi and I'll be your Jounin instructor for your time in team seven. You guys have been selected to take the Genin test-"

The pink haired girl frowned and interrupted, making Kakashi sigh.

"We already took a test to become Genin, though."

Kakashi lowered his eye to a book that none of them had seen him take out and began to speak, his single eye never leaving the page he had opened the book to.

"That test was just a test to see if you had the potential to become Genin. The one I'll give you tomorrow will be the one that decides if you actually become Genin or not."

This made Sakura frown a bit more, but she didn't say anything more on the subject. Kakashi nodded to himself and swept his visible eye over the three of them once again before he spoke.

"Right, so how about some introductions to start us off? How about you tell your name, your likes and dislikes, hobbies and skills."

To his surprise, the girl hailed as the smartest in her class asked the stupidest question he'd ever heard.

"How about you do it for us, Sensei? Show us how it's done?"

Kakashi resisted the urge to face palm and stowed his book in his Kunai pouch just before he began speaking.

"Sure. As I told you earlier, my name is Hatake Kakashi. I have many likes and a few dislikes, my dreams aren't any of your business and I have many skills that I'm sure you'll all benefit from."

Sasuke scowled and Sakura frowned. He hadn't told them a god damned thing! As she opened her mouth to yell at him, Kakashi spoke and cut her off.

"You can start us off, Pinky."

She glared at the grey haired ninja but didn't make a comment on his nickname for her.

"My name is Haruno Sakura and my likes are…Eh, that is to say…"

She looked back and forth between Naruto and Sasuke, making Kakashi arch an eyebrow at her.

"… My teammates, yeah. My dislikes are people that…. Don't like my team mates? I can...err, only do the Kawarimi, Henge and Bunshin, but I've mastered them completely!"

Kakashi smiled at her, but inwardly he was cringing because he could tell that she was a very confused person and hadn't really found out who she was for herself yet. He hoped the two guys on her team could hold her up until she came out of her shell.

"You're up next, duck butt."

Sasuke bristled at the jibe at his hair but didn't say anything about it, choosing to scowl and glare at the older man for a moment before he began to speak.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke and my goal, right now, is to revive my clan and to make a certain someone pay for ruining my life. My likes are strength and the people that help me obtain it. My dislikes are anyone who betrays their loved ones and being weak."

Sakura had hearts in her eyes, and Kakashi sighed and nodded. The boy was unstable, and would need to be carefully watched. He could see that he was changing, maybe for the better, but there was still so much aggression in him and Kakashi was afraid something would trigger it and make him start sliding backwards.

"Alright then, Naruto-kun."

Sakura arched an eyebrow at their sensei and cocked her head. Sasuke frowned, staring up at the man as if asking for an explanation of some sort. Naruto just sat there, like he had been the entire time, and stared off into space. Sakura chose to ask the obvious question…

"Have you met him before or something?"

Kakashi eye smiled and nodded, his gaze moving to Naruto as the boy blinked and seemed to wake up. Of course, Kakashi knew just why he wasn't as attentive as he should have been. He could only be talking to Natsumi. While he didn't originally agree with Naruto talking to the fox, he'd later discovered that the fox was not as bad as she seemed.

Just a bad rap, is all.

More or less.

"Kakashi? What're you doing here?"

This made Sakura sweat drop and Kakashi chuckle, lifting his book up to read as he answered. He'd been very distracted apparently.

"I'm your Jounin sensei and you're apart of team-"

"Seven, I know that much. Just wasn't all there for this part."

Kakashi eye smiled and turned the page in his book, making Naruto sigh. Kakashi lowered his book a moment and turned to Naruto, speaking softly.

"Please, introduce yourself formally to your new team mates. Tell them your likes, dislikes, dreams and skills."

Naruto nodded and propped his feet up on the railing around the roof, folding his arms behind his head as he began to speak. He closed his eyes, seeing Natsumi as she curled up on some cushions with her eyes closed. His cheeks lit up when she peeked open a single red eye and curled her index finger in his direction in a 'come hither' motion with that predatory look on her face.

"My name is Uzumaki-Nami- Er, Uzumaki Naruto and my hobbies are spending time with my precious people, training and playing the occasional prank. My likes are Ramen, Kakashi-sensei, Ero-sennin, my best friend Natsumi and Jiji. My dislikes are people that are arrogant and people that are narrow minded. My dream is to become Hokage and my skills include Shadow Clones, my doujutsu and Taijutsu."

Naruto blushed as he spied Natsumi pouting and playfully glaring at him with her arms crossed under her breasts.

"Am I only a friend, Naruto-kun?"

Kakashi snapped his book shut and stood up, sticking his book back into his Kunai pouch before he began to talk. Naruto snapped to attention when Kakashi stood and watched patiently as the Jounin began to speak.

"The real Genin test begins at six in the morning in training ground seven. Don't be late and don't eat unless you want to throw up."

Before either one of them had a chance to say anything, Kakashi lobbed a note laden rock into Naruto's lap and was up and over the railing of the roof in seconds. Naruto blinked down at the rock, unwrapping the note from it so that he could read it.

Naruto, meet me at the Hokage tower in ten minutes.

Naruto crumpled the paper and stood, stretching. He'd finally mastered it, and it made him grin. It was not possible for him to keep an eye on Natsumi and be outside of his mind at the same time. He'd managed to split his mental focus in such a way that he didn't need to be in his mind to see her and he could communicate with her at will without having to use his mental link to her.

His mental celebration was interrupted by Sakura's voice as she clasped her hands behind her back and rocked back and forth on her heels for a moment.

"Do you guys want to go grab a bite to eat as a team?"

Sasuke didn't even reply, turning away to walk to the door to the roof. As he opened the door and spoke clearly and concisely to her, his free hand tucked in his pocket.

"No."

And then he was walked down the stairs and out of sight. Sakura turned her gaze on Naruto to see him just finishing putting away the note in his pants pocket. He walked to the railing and hopped up onto it, offering the pinkette a smile that made her heart beat a little faster and her own smile bloom.

"I can't today, Sakura-chan. Maybe we can do it after we've already become Genin? That way we can really celebrate!"

She offered a brilliant smile and nodded, her cheeks alight. Naruto waved to her and leapt off of the building, making her run to the edge and peer over in fear of what she might see.

He was gone.

With a small huff, she smiled a small smile to herself and made her way home.

The Hokage Tower

When Naruto touched down outside of Sarutobi Hiruzen's office window, he noticed three things. One was that the Hokage was not alone, two being that he was with Kakashi and Jiraiya and three was that they were all looking directly at him.

He felt like such a shitty ninja, now.

As he opened the window and climbed inside, Kakashi eye smiled at him and Jiraiya gave him a nod and a smile. Sarutobi smiled as well, and gestured for Naruto to take a sea so that they could get started.

"Naruto, do you know why Kakashi wanted you to come here today?"

Naruto shook his head in the negative, his head turning to look at the cycloptic Jounin for a moment before his attention was, once again, turned on Sarutobi.

"He's called you hear to ask you a very important question. You don't have to answer right away ad you most certainly don't have to agree to anything you don't want to."

Naruto nodded, certain to pay attention very carefully after the Hokage said that. He didn't like how that was worded and his fight or flight response was starting to kick in.

"Naruto."

His head turned to the cycloptic Jounin as he addressed him and watched as he eye smiled and walked closer, settling a hand on the boys shoulder. He knelt so that he could be eye level with the Genin hopeful and dropped the bomb.

"How would you like to be my son?"

Beneath Konoha, Root Headquarters.

Danzo smiled as the silver haired chunin finished reciting his report of his findings on the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. The boy was promising indeed, and still growing. The promise of power so intoxicating that he chose to enact his plan right away, rather than let Sarutobi get a foothold in the boy's life.

That was why he had left minutes ago to go to the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki's last known and reported location. He wanted to make sure that Konoha could have more Shinobi like this boy and he would ensure it. The Rinnegan… the boy was a treasure trove of limitless power and none of it was being tapped like it should be.

No matter, he'd fix that.

Hokage Tower.

Naruto gaped like a fish, his mouth opening and closing as he made small sounds of disbelief. A sensei and a dad in one day, huh? He grinned and launched himself at the cycloptic Jounin who caught him with a grunt. He clung to the man, the Jounin laughing good naturedly as he supported his new son's weight. Kakashi settled Naruto on his feet but didn't let go, holding onto his smaller frame tightly as the blondes mood went from happy to sad in a matter of moments.

Kakashi found himself helplessly holding onto his son while Jiraiya and Sarutobi looked on smiling faintly as the blond cried into his new father's shirt. He was so happy he just couldn't hold it in, and even Natsumi found herself smiling, happy for the boy because he finally got what he deserved.

A knock sounded on the door to the Hokage's office and Sarutobi smiled as Naruto hurriedly wiped his eyes on his sleeve and peered up at his new father with a smile. The door opened and in walked the bandaged form of Shimura Danzo, a neutral expression on his face as he fixed a gaze on young Naruto for a moment before he turned his steady eyes on Hiruzen.

"Sarutobi, do you have a minute? I'd like to discuss something with you."

Outside Konoha, a cave in a random place.

"Finally, it's done. We have a few months before we can start moving on the Jinchuuriki."

A spiky haired figure with ripple patterned eyes blinked and turned his unusual gaze on the plant like man standing to his right.

"We know where the one, two and three tails are. Have you found the four tails yet?"

The two toned figure of the plant man answered in a lazy drawl that he hoped seemed was pacifying, because he hadn't been able to find out where the jinchuuriki had gone to. He knew that he'd been in his native village and had left it to venture out on his own due to the treatment he'd received, but his current whereabouts were unknown.

"No, Leader-sama. I haven't been able to find him, but I feel I am getting close."

The spiky haired specter didn't speak for a moment, but when he did he didn't bother to look at the one he was addressing.

"Keep searching. We need to move soon. "

"Yes, Leader-sama."

A woman with blue hair and striking amber eyes entered the room behind the spiky haired shadowy figure and began to speak.

"Itachi and Kisame have decided to keep their distance from the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and observe a new lead they have found within the village."

This made the ring eyed shadow turn to face her, his voice intrigued.

"Oh?"

"It seems one of the elder council members is willing to strike a deal with us as long as the village isn't harmed and the Akatsuki make Konoha it's official ally when we start to move on the Jinchuuriki. It seems that if we simply wait, they'll deliver the Jinchuuriki to us when the time is right."

"Hm."

The woman turned to leave the room, speaking with her back to the lavender eyed being.

"They wish to send a contact to meet with Itachi and Kisame to strike the deal. Shall I tell them to go ahead with it?"

The figure turned away from her and remained silent for a time before his voice responded with a bit of amusement in his voice.

"I will allow this. Have them give this contact the okay to meet with them at a time of their choosing in the near future."

As she closed the door to the room and the plant man melted into the floor and the leader of the Akatsuki closed his eyes and became one with the shadows.

"Hai."

AN: And that's the story so far. hope you guys enjoyed it, and I hope you guys will keep reading and reviewing so that I'll feel more motivated to write this story. I also have to ask that you guys don't make judgements about this story before the story even gets started. Honestly, I had someone review saying that I was overpowering Sasuke because I had Naruto agree to train him when asked. You didn't even wait to see why I did it, and immediately wrote off my story as not worth your time. Please bear in mind that I'm setting up a plot and things may seem very unlikely or stupid, but there's a reason for that.
