Retrospective after-thoughts, Part 8:
Okay so this chapter flows a bit better than the last but it still feels a bit jarring at times, though that might just be the 'manga knowledge' talking and not taking the current information available at the time back then into consideration. Some stuff feels a bit forced and out of character, like it didn't age well. I dunno, I'm not completely sold on the 'Madara mystery' here yet for starters, and Naruto seem to be very passive-aggressive whenever he's in a discussion xD Like he has no chill, at all lmao. Sasuke too last chapter was very loud and shouting a lot lol. I might have done that to make them seem a lot more mature in the current timeline when they are grown up, but still, it's a bit too much at times lol, but I digress.
Killerbee, Killerbee, Killerbee.... Geezus his rhymes are so bad in this xD I don't even know what to say about it. Luckily there's some justice coming up for him in later chapters but man I had no idea what I was doing with his character at the time xD
On a side note I see I had the end of the chapter in post 2 here, maybe that was what the letter limit was at back then and I was forced to do so? Weird to think about now knowing how big that limit eventually ended up becoming, and I still went out of my way to break them xD

At the time this was written we knew so little of what was going to happen so I got to give credit where credit is due. The story and the pace of it is pretty good all things considered, the comments have convinced me to be a bit more lenient than I thought I would be, so I'll score this one...
7/10.
