not necessarily, could be 16 or 17.

high school age is what? 17?

You callin' me a nerd boy/girl? Dem's fighting words!

when was the time travel seal used? I haven't seen all the movies. Well if seals can effect gravity and space, they would surely be able to effect time as well according to the spacetime theory. Space is pictured as a fabric in our 3rd dimensional perspective and time is pictured as the flow of that fabric in it's entirety, so where space is the surface of water on the 3d dimensional axis, time is the flow of the river of water along the 4th dimensional axis. When you have the means to manipulate the surface of water that is space, It would be a matter of how you can apply the concept if you wish to manipulate time. Is it like Dr strange's time warping where you essentially rewind local time around an object, in which case you would manipulate the flow of space to essentially flow backwards? Or is it like Back to the Future, where you punch a hole through space time and travel through the fabric of space to a point outside time and punch through another part of the fabric connected to another point in history, where your very existence will change things and create what is known as a new time stream? Either way, you'd need a source of exotic energy which essentially is energy that can effect the fabric of space time. No conventional known form of matter and energy has been found yet in our universe which can directly effect the fabric of spacetime. It was once said that to turn back time on a single atom would require more energy than is present in the entire observable universe. Then they said it would only require several hundred galaxies worth for one nanogram of matter, then it became tens for a microgram, then a single for a gram, then just a few thousand stars for a few grams worth. This was mostly because we couldn't fathom just how we could effect the fabric of space time with our currently known forms of energy and matter. It would take impossible amounts of conventional energies to effect space itself. The most effect we could see was from black holes and their extreme gravity, but that still only just slowed the flow of time to a gradual stop, not reverse it. It was theorized that it would take an exotic form of matter that can directly effect space time if we want to turn it around and make it flow backwards. It's also theorized that there exists an antimatter universe parallel to our universe where time flows backwards in comparison to ours. If seals can directly effect spacetime with programable effects, it could very well be used to make things like teleportation and time travel possible, although you'd have to use chakra to sense the fabric of spacetime in the first place to manipulate it. Things like storage seals or summoning jutsus might not be enough since they are mass produced so you don't need to feel space to make them. I only know of Minato to have meditated to feel spacetime for his hiraishin, although I'm not sure if its cannon. Anyway, yes, it might be possible to make time travel seals if you can manipulate spacetime in just the right way, but we have no idea of how that would look like since we haven't yet found a way to effect spacetime.

that's good too, you'll want to be more focused on specific things to improve on like comedy, character development, action, etc. sorry, it got cut off, anyways, best of luck author! You can do it!

Not as impressed as I'd hoped you'd be, but i'll take an unsettled thank you very much.

To be honest, This feels so unrealistic that this sakura feels like a completely different person. Cannon Sakura would never say this, mostly because she never knew anything about naruto's past until after the wave mission. She was even surprised to hear that naruto was an orphan, mainly because of the s class secret about naruto. The villagers would never talk about naruto to their children, outside of saying he's a demon. Heck, most civilians probably think naruto came out of the kyubi, or that he's the kyubi himself. They wouldn't think about weather or not he's an orphan or just a kid. How would sakura know if naruto's an orphan or not? Then again this is an AU, so you do you.

Awesome!

This fic is well written so it changes the POV appropriately to fit the situation. At the start it focus the POV on the MC, but later it also shows the POVs of kurama, naruto, sarutobi, Danzo, even kakashi. no romance yet, except a bit of childish teasing here and there. Overall I'll recommend it to almost anyone on webnovel.

Hey author! Never change man, you've got the exact right attitude you need to succeed. You care about your story enough to fight for it and it shows. Please don't drop this story suddenly, I'd love to see more. Thanks for writing.

Great Indian bro! I am humbled and honored to know that you would willingly go to such great lengths and bear such hardships, just to reach out to this lowly commoner and call him brother. Your heart is as vast as the cosmos and may your life be as fulfilled and satisfying as the many joys you have sought to gift others. Many thanks from a fellow Indian bro. oh and there are bonus chapters? Guess I missed them. I will check them out.

Sure, it can be like the pressure water scroll that sassori used against sakura and chiyo which split the clouds, It holds the things, and it shoots the things. But it can't really make the things inside the scroll by itself can it? You can't make something out of nothing. Otherwise Sasori would have kept using that water scroll to kill them. He ran out of water and had to use something else. You could say that for iron man boosters you could have seals like the gravity seals which takes in chakra and works continuously, but you'd have to keep supplying chakra which converts into fire chakra or wind chakra and keeps pumping it out as long as you want it too. You'd still be limited by your own chakra pool and you'd be stuck with basic elements. And you'd also need safeties and immunity barriers on all your equipment. You can't just convert chakra directly into muon particals like iron man. You could may be convert electricity using lightning jutsu, but You'd still have to build a muon converter propulsion system. At that point you might as well build an ark reactor along with it and fly off to marvel.

Not exactly, It could be that the explosive seal simply traps and compresses a lot of chakra and converts it into fire nature chakra, which is released once the seal is destroyed. It might also be that the bomb seal, is simply a lot of explosive material sealed into a storage seal along with a part that converts the chakra in the ink into fire nature chakra so it burns up and releases the exposive material. we don't really know. The reaper death seal falls in the category of contract seals like the summoning jutsus and danzo's tongue seal. It's a binding of preset conditions set in a contract through chakra. It's like the chakra established a connection between two different things and linked them. The connection gets activated once the contract conditions are met. Honestly kishimoto never clarified any of this and probably just put it in there because it looked cool, so all rules are up for debate if anyone's interested. The only things we know is that it's complicated, It is based on chakra, and that it's supposed to be some kind of language. I just feel that given the fact that the techniques are named seals, sealing stuff should be the primary focus. You can get clever and add different effects and modes of sealing, link different things through seals, and seal abstract concepts and conditions through seals such as in a summons contract. It is using chakra to bind things together and manipulate them, and since chakra is part spritual and part physical, it can interact with all sorts of abstract concepts and other dimensional aspects beyond the physical world.

Love to see my fellow Indian Bros among the stars! Just tell me one thing... What kind of Indian names are Adrian and Gwen?

One thing people forget is that seals are best at doing one thing and one thing only, that is sealing. Every aspect shown in the show can be explained as a clever utilization of sealing specific aspects or releasing something thats already sealed. The more complicated techniques can still be explained as programing the sealing/unsealing aspects for a desired outcome. Don't do stupid stuff with seals like making a flying seal or making iron man boosters with seals without explaining how that aspect would work with sealing/unsealing things.

Thanks for making this! It's awesome! Wasn't expecting such a good story at all. Pretty rare concept too, you don't find too many fics of the mc actually being the mentor for og hero, especially without them becoming OP themselves and breaking the balance. Nice twist with the AU too. Refreshing to see a dark Danzo/Hiruzen done right. Love that you kept everyone's personalities close to original and just changed them enough to fit the twist. Tastefully done! Overall, great story! More please!

I appreciate your words, and I see your point, but I think the title of this chapter represents the fact that to someone with an overwhelming sense of morality and responsibility, it doesn't feel like you actually have a choice weather you or not you should try to save someone if you can. You know the consequences of what not trying your best is and you feel like you can't bare the guilt of not trying if those people die. It's like Tom Holland said, ''when you have the power to stop bad things from happening, and you don't stop them, you feel like the bad things happen because of you.'' To most, it might feel like a choice to be heroic, especially for a stranger. But for someone like Peter, He feels that even strangers must have loved ones who would be sad if they got hurt, or maybe they also have something important to live for. He values all life so he does the best that he can to save it. It doesn't feel like a choice to him, because he can't bare the consequences of not trying his best.

I think scream doesn't fit well in this sentence, you should go with shout instead. A scream is usually something like "AAaaahhhhh!" or maybe "woaaahhh!" , possibly even "wooooohoooooooo!". Where as shouting is usually done with words.

+1

I think it would be interesting to explore how some potions get their effects, and it would be nice if any new potion you make would have a somewhat logical explanation behind it. But as always, goog things are good in moderation. It's not exactly important for the story, but it could add a bit of fun.
