Comments: I'd previously recommended this author's other work, but given he has more or less put that one on hiatus and this one also more or less blows it out of the water. The premise is completely original, without anything really like it; Naruto as a jounin sensei of a very different Team 7, managing to come off as both amazingly intelligent, and yet still very much the old Naruto. The characterization is spot on, the concept is amazingly original, and while the plot is advancing slowly away from the canon, it promises to be a very interesting ride.
Absolutely Fantastic- ditto everything above. A must read to join 'Team 8' and other classics. In fact, when it gets longer (he's apparently planning 17 arcs), I suspect this fic will be the standard all other Naruto fan fics are held to.
