He's not wrong

Poor danzo, no matter what happens he's taking a hit

Right, tell all your worries to Fox. He definitely did not assassinate your ninjas.

Starts strong, there's foreshadowing, the MC has a goal, a desire to make a change. The story is great and characters are fleshed out. Then once the sundering hits, decades pass and the story is bogged down by descriptions of daily life. There's still foreshadowing, but little content is actually provided that moves the plot forward. In other word, it went from fast paced to slow paced where nothing happens in several chapters. Waiting to see if it changes in next chapters.

These past chapters, ever since they left their home feels like a grind. Nothing happens. Gotta ask if there's a plot prepared, a direction for the story or this is just description of daily life?

I like the pace of the story. It's peaceful, yet grips you in the chest with the stakes.
