I'm sorry that it's is not up to your standard. I admit my characters and world building are terrible. I will try to improve. I'm wondering why you are giving this reaction to Ryuu fighting Orochimaru. He can't use any ninjutsu, his arms are useless for now. He is severly weakened. Ryuu took on him by surprise. As for Hiruzen he is old. He's not at his prime anymore. That's why Orochimaru beat him. Please don't skip contents of chapters. You are asking questions you wouldn't have asked if you read it fully And finally think outside of the canon. Some characters will be different. It is a fanfiction after all.

No he's not. Ryuu's background will be little bit confusing for now.

It's not a harem. I'm planning to pair him with Samui after Naruto's training trip.

i never knew that there was a law forbidding them to reveal his parents. Why shouldn't Tsunade tell about his cousin to Ryuu. Revealing his jinchuuriki status was punishable by death. And i suggest you read the story fully. I have a feeling according to your questions you are skipping contents of the chapters.

I can understand why soldiers develop ptsd. They grew up in peaceful environment, they never experienced war before. Suddenly drafted to army then going to war, forced to kill, forced to watch everyone around them to die. As for shinobi who is born in war torn world and trained to kill, assassinate from the young age that's too pathetic

Yes. That is the plan. Ryuu and Haku will influence him. Naruto will become more serious and competent. But it needs some time

Yes. I was tempted to leave Naruto to his own device. Then i had this idea. Why not Ryuu influence Naruto and convert him from shouting idiot to serious competent ninja. We all tired from seeing stupid go happy Naruto.

i hate to burst your bubbles guys but it's it's not going to be a harem fic. haku x hinata. mc x ? not decided yet. I'm thinking about pairing him with samui

haku x hinata. mc x ? not decided yet. I'm thinking about pairing him with samui it won't be a harem fic.

haku x hinata. mc x ? not decided yet. I'm thinking about pairing him with samui it won't be a harem fic.

don't worry i won't bash jiraiya. For jiraiya ryuu is a stranger suddenly got involved with his godson and told something he deemed too early for naruto. so they are at odds now

i have a surprise for this genjutsu part. I don't want to spoil it too soon.

you will see in the future
