This chapter was quite simply magnificent. I like how you developed Jiraiya. I really, really like the bit with Neji. (And am feeling vaguely smug that I at least anticipated the possibility that Naruto's final blow might eliminate Neji's seal.) And I like Shikamaru finding out, and anticipate that he'll be another quiet but ultimately important force in the slow shifting of part of the village to support Naruto.
I also like what happened with Gaara, and hope that you'll rehabilitate him and his siblings in positive ways that both add to the "good guys" side and that show us more their potential when removed from an abusive situation.
Really, that seems to be largely what this story is about. The various forms that abuse can take, the damage it can do--and how it can be recovered from and/or overcome. A really powerful, positive theme. It honors fanfiction.

And a good present it is. All you FFA.net authors are amazing... you just have this tendency not to update for months at a time... Any of you... Luckily, the wait is always worth it.
Another great chapter. I really need to re-read this one. I've gone over NotFP at least four times and it was better each time. Not so much with this one. Probably the lack of a Naruto fan in me. You fic is better than the anime in either case.
Later,
Rex

Well this is the first Naruto fan fic I ever read and I think you have me hooked. :D
Ok, granted I would never link your Naruto with anime Naruto but I guess thats the point of fan fics, right? :)
Anyway - just wanted to say that I love both you HP fics as well as your Naruto fics. Guess I will keep an eye out for new chapters.
And in the end - thank you for writing these great fics.

Wow, I really like how this is turning out. Opportunities and potential that was lost in canon is now being realized. The Third is still alive, and Naruto is making friends/allies left and right (Gaara & co., Neji, Shikamaru?). Even the pervert is going to be serious for a change. Now I'm really looking forward to the next chapters. Good job!

Very interesting, thought provoking character-building chapter.
I wonder about two things. In the canon (at least from what I read on Wikipedia) Hiashi tell Neji that it was his father (and Hiashi's brother) own decision to be replacement. This in canon make Neji less hostile towards Hinata. I wonder if this happened in this story, or is it one of poiunt where this A.U. diverges from canon.
Second, from what I understand Caged Bird seal had, beside ensuring obedience from branch side of Hyuuga family, also protect Byakugan from being stolen, by being able to kill captured members (kidnapped for breeding for example) and make it impossible to transplant eyes (a la Kakashi's Sharingan eye). I don't see it mentioned in this fanfic.
Keep up good work. I really liked the last part with Naruto and Neji.
Would Jiraya teach Naruto some summon? Would he teach him Rasengan?

All around good chapter, but the scene between Neji and Naruto was the best. My only complaint is I can't get enough of the story and I have to wait on chapters lol.

Yay, a Christmas Present for ME!
Thank you for another delightful chapter. I really enjoy seeing Naruto and Hinata and Shino grow together and as people, and I love having the backstory explanations, especially of various people's motivations.

Quite A wonderful belated Christmas Present to us all. I am interested in what the Anti-Naruto-conspiracy develops into(my best guess is a Konoha civil war). I also would like to see what happens when Hinata combine Gentle fist with Rasengan!!!!11! =P

*blinks*
Holy Crap!!
Thats a damm fine chapter right there!
You didnt touch on the villagers reaction to hoardes of clones saving lives, will you do so later?
It's also good to see Hiashi is slowly being revealed as the villain that he is in this story. Well done!
Looking foreward to more.

Thank you for the update. I love this fic, though I am no longer watching Naruto - i just don't have the time.
Great chapter, and happy holidays.
