Following my abject failure to review every chapter, I have decided to try again as I feel my last reviews were lackluster...Anyway, Reading through for the third time and I still love this opening. The fracture point from the OT is very well done. While I feel that Naruto might be just a bit to confident in his meeting with Ino, the way Naruto acts makes sense for who he was as this point. The fight between Sakura and Ino fits in perfectly with all their other fights. Ino's character seems more flushed out than the original. And Naruto's goal is exactly what one would expect from his boastful nature. A perfect opening for this work.
