Yea, I know, as I mentioned many times already, this is my first writing work and English is my second language, early chapters, like 20 or so is not that great, sorry about that, but I'm not re-writing them as it would take a lot of time and I already don't have much to post new chapters more regularly...

Why not? Besides obvious moral reasons there is also a good opportunity to gain many jutsu through Itachi in the future

That girl is just underestimated the kid in front of her too much and didn't expect him to launch advanced genjutsu against her, that's all. Strength and experience ain't everything, as if it would be then shinobi wont be so obsessed with sneak attacks all the time, as even a genin can kill a jonin with a kunai if jonin is not on guard. As for Itachi, he is the god of genjutsu in the future, so it's seems reasonable that he starts mastering genjutsu from a young age. And for Yuta it's already good that he managed to keep up with Itachi with just some additional years of practicing in the time-loop, I'm more worried about Yuta's growth that might seem unrealistically fast if anything.

Good point, but since when do people actually become logical? He want's to live as long as he wants, being not limited by lifespan or some hostile strong person that might kill him, at the same time he is not ready to part with his humanity. That overall thing might look not logical but what about it? It's not like logic can stop everyone from doing stuff

Well, he is a human being who found himself in extreme turn of events, we can't expect him to just shrug everything off easily and go grind like it's a video game or something, right?

Well, she is probably doing the same thing and saying this same stuff for a whole day at that point, there is a lot of casualties in the village after all

Nope, his physical body should be present as well in the time point he wants to travel with his soul. But the idea is interesting, maybe Yuta would find some way to do that, who knows...

Well, we are past the point of no-return long time ago. From the perspective of Yuta, he as a time-traveler is not caring about the original plot at all, from his perspective if he would be unable to resolve the situation some way or another in the future, then he can return and restore the plot. I as an author is unable to change this anymore, so there is only one way left - to continue it as it is and see what happens ))

Why not? If it's possible to achieve a state when you can live for as long as you want to, being not limited by lifespan, why not to go for it? The true state of immortality, when you will live forever no matter what happens and how much time passes is actually unachievable even in the world of Naruto I believe, but a state in which no one can threaten you and you are not limited by lifespan or diseases should be possible.

He travels with his soul alone, so for example if he trains hard for a month and then travels back a month, all the progress of physical training of that month will be lost. All efforts for nothing, and shinobi training is much harder than usual one hour in gym.

true

Thanks for the review and especially for the praising of the grammar and writing quality of the first 24 chapters, that was unexpected as the early chapters contains a lot of mistakes due to that it's my first writing work and English is my second language, and I didn't expect to someone actually say something good about it, thanks. Sorry to hear that the plot development is not to your liking though, thanks for reading this far!

Thanks, I don't remember where I get one hand seal, I thought it was from anime or manga, but it seems that it's coming from some other fanfics. I'll keep the 'one hand seal' in the story though for the consistency reasons.

As there is misunderstanding, I should clarify - this Maki is just some random Iwa kunoichi, and it's a common name, she has nothing to do with Maki from Suna who is the student of Pakura.

Emm.. Sorry about that guys, but this Maki have nothing to do with the canon Maki who was a student of Pakura. It's just the common name that's all. Besides, this Maki is from Iwagakure, not Sunagakure.

Even if he is orphan, it's not like his family tree can't be investigated, his mother lived in the village, so village naturally has information about him, pretending to be an Uzumaki will be hard in this case.

fair

And what is the problem with that?

He can't yet, it's not how his ability works, in the future he will unlock new ways using it, but not for now, sorry if that was not clear enough.

It's hard to tell. At some point when Yuta was reach a soft celling of his power, he would look for other means to advance, like Kakuzu jutsu or Hiruko jutsu, or Hashirama cells, or something else, I don't know what it would be so I can't tell when it happens.
