Man, this was actually kinda good at the start, but the quality took a sharp drop when the author decided to have the MC return to Konoha. It was so poorly done and the clearly author couldn't think of a way to do so more naturally, because he had the MC randomly get attacked by the Pein. Sure, the MC could've just run away at any time, but now he's suddenly "too prideful" to retreat from an obviously superior opponent. (He ends up running away anyway.) Konoha is happy to take him back and treat his (near fatal) injuries and let him wander around the village, despite his murder of several village higher ups and Hyuga clan members. After all, he has information on the Akatsuki for them. Sure Konoha could just have him tortured or something, but, uh, reasons. And then the romance with Ino starts escalating, and I dropped the fic.
