87 to be exactSo one hundred years has passed-crazy! It was amusing when Naruto called Sasuke arrogant and then in the next second contradicts himself by being the same way lol I liked how you depicted these new genin and their personalitiesSo Naruto actually thought that the first exam was easy and the three of them were able to pass. I’m eager to see how the last two tests will progress. Its interesting to note that Naruto has Rinnegan and all three siblings have a doujutsu. I wonder how he acquired it. Nice, I love to see unsupported villages/characters getting attention, like Kusa for example ^^ Well, at least these Kusa genin were decent enough to leave their team alone
Fun Facts & Author's Note:
It was nice to see that you like a band that I also like such as NICO Touches the Wall! =D
1 You’re definitely correct as I didn’t think that this sequel would turn out like this but I like it and its a very interesting approach. So, The Hobbit was an inspiration-thats cool and I like your insight
2 I enjoy your storytelling thus I’m happy with what you’ve decided ^^
3 I understand and what could ever really be fun about taking a written exam anyways, right? XD
4 Thanks for that bit of insight
5 I had wondered for a time if Zetsu would be the main or supporting antagonist for this sequel and well I have my answer now lol And that was some interesting insight for sure ^^
6 Yes, I definitely noticed that you had changed fonts and now I see why lol Oh, I see its almost unreal how quickly you get things done being able to release this chapter two weeks ago!!! What a feat!

The fun thing to be noted, is that throughout this first chapter, I gave hints to tie the events of Naruto the 2nd's memories from the Chunin exam 87 years ago, with the events happening at the end of Chapter 30 of Returns. For example, Zetsu stating Naruto taking over as the new Great Toad Sage, which happened only just at the end of Returns and Minato, Jiraiya and Konohamaru visiting a farming village just recently, which Returns actually ended with if you remember the final scene.I was looking forward to a review like this, thanks bro =p Good to see you being the first and only one so far
And yes! I found it intriguing when deciding who to have what doujutsu, as I knew I wanted one of them to have Sharingan and the other to have Byakugan. Then I thought, why not throw Rinnegan into the mix, and make a intriguing explanation on how that's possible, later on (I think it is revealed in Chapter 6 actually ).So the jumping in and out of present time layout wasn't confusing at all? I remember when I made the two first chapters of Returns, some people was confused on the timeline, so this time around, I thought I would alter the way I told the story through the present time (Naruto the 2nd and Ikari), and I found this way to fit perfectly.
Indeed, I did try to mix things up a bit in the first one, but the real action starts next time
There's so much I want to say at this point, but I guess I shouldn't destroy the surprise, haha Thanks bro, means a lot like always ^_^1: Another funny thing is that judging by 95 % of this chapter, it is easy to think this is a stand-alone, completely original story working its own path. However, with Zetsu appearing at the end, and the events that will start to fall in place from Chapter 3 and onward, it will be easy to understand otherwise I suppose
3: Yeah, glad no one complained about that part xP I mean, I've got complaints in the passed for leaving out or shortening scenes that has been mostly fighting orientated, but so far, no one seems to have complained about me skipping the first part of the Chunin exam in its entirety, which is good.
6: I released this one on Sunday, but I was indeed planning on releasing it two weeks ago, haha
The next one will be up this week btw, but I'm not sure exactly when yet. Depends on when I get time to read over it one final time in its completed form (all that is left before release).
