Out of curiosity, didn't Kakashi graduate at like, 6? And wasn't Gai a normal student...so theoretically, they probably didn't meet at the Academy...
Viridian replied:
Actually, Kakashi and Gai are the same age, so they more than likely started at the Academy at the same time. Now, as to when Gai graduated - that is not disclosed in canon. But even if Kakashi graduated early, he could very well have sparred with Gai... but Gai didn't do well enough in his other subjects to graduate as soon as Kakashi. If I had to pick out anyone in Konoha to match Kakashi in Taijutsu, it would be Gai.

I love your HP fics, then saw this one and decided to read it. Then I decided to read Team 8. All of it to date. I love them both. I know nothing about Naruto except for this fic. You should take that as a pretty big compliment--you got me hooked on a fanfic where I don't even know the original work! Great characterization in both stories.

This is the first time I've read this story, although I've been following your other two main stories for a while and like your style.
This is quite unique in what I have read so far, and leads to interesting visions of the future - in particular I can see the initial meeting with Gaara at the start of the chunin exams having a very different tone.

Pretty cool. I'm glad to see that, in addition to your other, larger projects, you are still keeping this other story going. I very much enjoy it and all of your stories, though I hope you don't mind me saying that I hope you'll now focus on bringing up the next chapter of Team 8.

That woman is freaking scary! They're gonna have a hell of a time with her.

You're very good at this.
Thank you for updating.

An excellent chapter. I particularly liked how both Anko and Hikaru freaked out on setting eyes on each other. And Naruto's little color power trip set me off.

Okay that was good.
I like Hikaru's fight with Anko..
I mean it went by is a flash of wow...
Though i have to ask one thing..
From a few things, Could Orochimaru somehow actually be his father?
I mean demon aside... Similar builds, eyes, and now he has fangs?
Oh well idle thoughts before i run to work lol.

Sweet! I love this tale.
As soon as I saw the purple hair I knew things were going to go badly for a bit... heh. I also liked the exam... nifty hints for the future with Asuka.
Thanks a lot!

That was a long wait. Seems as though you planned to have something going on between Asuka and Hikaru. At least, that's what everyone is going to think. That she holds so much power over Hikaru. The desire to protect her can be the catalyst for very interesting things to happen. I like that the 3 of them will form a clan of their own. Dislike Naruto's persistence with Sakura. Please let him get over her soon. Seriously, she's just not worth it here.

Highly enjoyable, I like Anko but will admit to enjoying her going through a wall :)

Very cool. It will be interesting to see how this will Turn out with Naruto having two effective and powerful 'sidekicks' to support him. and who very much have their own intrests aligned with his becasue if they support him all the way up and he makes Hokage they will be set basicaly for life. i actualy like this story better than your other two (nothing agaisnt them i just like this one better). also i think Asuka should be a one or two tailed demons, what are the odds of havign the top three all just come together. I would see a one or two tailed demon as being overcomeable by the Sannin and other S ranked nin, and thier host even more so, this makes it so at least one of your characters cannot just pour out infinite amounts of energy to eal with problems (though still massivly more than most).
Thanks for wrriting,
Jay

Great chapter! And I really feel sorry for Hikaru and Asuka.

*YAY* I'm really glad to see progress on this story! It's really a neat AU. On the upside, Konoha ends up a lot stronger, on the downside, Akatsuki has a lot more reason now to gun for The Leaf. It's good to see a Jinchuuriki turning his insane chakra talents to explosive tags. No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

Another amazing chapter. Nice to see this get an update -- the action and AU take is great fun. One thing:
there weren’t any jonin-sensei’s strong enough...might there be a better way to say that without resorting to an apostrophe? I'm not aware of any circumstance in which apostrophe's make thing's plural.

Nice chapter. It's been a long time since I read the first few chapters of Out of the Darkness, and so I was a little unsure about certain things. For instance, I had to look back to figure out which tailed best was in Asuka. (Unknown, go figure) But it was actually surprisingly easy to get back into the story. Well done.
My favorite thing this chapter was definitely the Uzumaki clan. What a great idea, and I find it hilarious that they're all Jinchuuriki. Practically an anti-akatsuki right there.
Also, Anko is one crazy bitch. Breaking into a classroom and trying to kill children? I thought Team 8's Kurenai had issues, but she's got jack shit on Anko. Well, I just hope her and her two new genin get to kill the crap out of Orochimaru some time. Please?

By the Kages, you stuck those two with Anko. And I can just imagine how things will go when she discovers his love of explosives.
Did notice one typo - Naruto referred to being on Team 8 instead of 7. As amusing as a cross between these two stories could be...
Apologies for the brevity, but currently I'm still thinking in terms of 'yay new chapter wow that was awesome', so for the most part I'm incoherent. Nicely done!
