The start was interesting enough, quite a bit of world-building initially, and I liked the explanation of fuuijutsu and the Nara clan jutsu. However, from the time around the chuunin exams and after that it has become stagnant, mostly because it insists in going through EVERY.SINGLE.NARUTO.FILLER.EVER. and since the fillers fall well into YMMV, the fanfic also falls quickly into that category. The fact that the inclusion of Shikako has changed absolutely nothing of real importance so far is a serious downside to this fic. As the previous reviewer said, it's just Naruto: Sakura's replaced by a Nara and nothing else changes.
Starts well enough, doesn't continue as well
