Team 8

First of all, awesome, as always. By the way, that "We are legion" thing was a bible reference, right? If you could, I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail me the answer to that question. In any case, keep up the good work and be quick with that next chapter please. I'm already eagerly awaiting it.

Very well done. But as team 8, by the looks of things so far with Jiraiya's involvement, is about to be temporarily disbanded with Naruto leaving (depending on how much you follow the canon) I hope that you can cram as much Naruhina in there as possible but hey who knows what you have planned

You are my hero :)

I've never really looked at anime before, and never come across Naruto. However, I love NoFP, and so started reading this in an idle moment. I was quickly hooked - your writing style is very good!

Your story is excellent,and I love the way in which you write strategy and action scenes. I do have to wonder if you're overpowering Naruto and Shino though. They never seem to make mistakes, and everything tends to work out in their favor rather easily. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong when Naruto fights Shukaku Gaara eh? Keep up the great work!

I had to reread the whole story to get myself reacquainted with the plot since I've skipped reading the last few updates and forgot quite a bit. To put it succinctly. Awesome.

It is always great to see Iruka in fanfiction. In my opinion he is one of the sadly overlooked characters. Well at least giving him any depth other than just saying Naruto met him to eat ramen.

I love your Shino. Everything about him screams awesome. He is one of my favorites probably because he is the closest to a real ninja from the series and you have made him a great character with a unique personallity.

Well I'm not going to go over everything that's cool. You probably get enough of that. Great story. I hope to see another update soon.

i hope you update soon this is good. I think it be cool if naruto was able to summon some animal. Anyway i cant wait to see what you do and i hope you have naruto find out that his dad was the 4th and i hope the 3rd doesn't die

Do I have to say it? Ok, then just know that I love your story. All of it. I think. Thanks for writing this!

As before, the ground dropped away in front of him, being converted into swampy mire as all the standing water from his Suiton attacks was pulled into the Swamp of the Underworld technique.

Very nice strategy. Using Suiton to make sand wet and slower (and probably also making chakra use to move sand greater), and preparing way for Yomi Numa. Rock!

A shockwave pulsed out in all directions, as visible as a thick pane of glass that refracts the light. Shikamaru and Chouji grunted as it passed through them, while Shino actually winced. Kurenai and Hinata were standing a little further way, and while the jonin didn’t react, Hinata did blush heavily.

I hope that those different reactions (Shiko and Chouji, Shino and Hinata) will be explained later?

They were reacting (or not) to feeling Naruto's chakra wash over and through them.

I'm tempted to watch the anime to note the differences between it and team 8, but I have a feeling it won't be nearly as good. Naruto always annoyed me when I saw him in cannon, mainly for the "comic relief" they were attempting to add.

Anyway, another great chapter. It felt short for some reason, but that was probably because it was so full of action that I just tore through it. Can't wait for the next one.

Later,
Rex

For the record? You rock.

That is all.

Matthew, you ROCK! You are so talented you make me feel like a little kid again when I see your updates. Nightmares of Futures Past is arguably the best Fanfic out there and I think, takes JK's characters and story further than she could take them. Team 8 is unquestionably a cut above...at first I was irritated that anything was distracting you from N of F P...but I enjoy this immensley! - Keep up the great work! Erik Wiggins

Now that we've seen what Naruto's chakra pulse did to the snake summoning I'm betting that his fox claw to Neji's face would've done something similar or more interesting.

I like the thought of a Hinata-Kankuro fight, with her severing his chakra lines and rendering his puppets useless. She's been through so much in this fic, she deserves to win at least one battle.

Also, why does no one ever excuse Jiraiya's antics as "the eccentricities of a brilliant mind"? That would be interesting.

I'm assuming that oji-san will survive now tt Jiraiya is free from snake-killing duty? So he will be able to help break the Sound 4 barrier?

maaa..... Naruto's messing up Orochi's plans whereever he is.....

good show! [although I think the pulse is waaayyy overcharged....]

Is Yomi Numa his trump card? or will he unveil the 1 tail form?

Thanks for the swift update!

This chapter was just as great as the ones before. Many thanks to you for uploading it!
I'm really looking forward to the next chapters - and I wonder who will make chuunin and who will not.....^^

Impressive, and you updated quicker this time. Thank you for that - I enjoy this story. Personally, I hope you start making the timeline your own (you've done extremely well so far), and don't focus on all the events in the main story of Naruto.

Eagerly waiting your next chapter,

Tommy L.

As always, very well done.

It is excellent to see Team 8 truly acting like a true reconnaisance team (well, at least Naruto and Shino so far)... independently developing intelligence, coordinating their plan and adapting their plan on the fly, then executing, each person doing what they do best.

I am eager to see the rest of the invasion and our favorite Team's contribution to it - especially once Hinata gets up to speed with the other two.

Once again, I read in wide eyed wonder at your mastery. I can't tell where this is going, except for the obvios Naruto/ Gaara-Shukaku fight, but I expect it to be awsome.
