Review for The Pride

The Pride

(#) Seele01 2014-07-12

I really am looking forward to the next release. There is however a few questions I have that could use some clarification. It pretty much revolves around Kurama's action and his explanations. I guess the biggest issue I have is his reasoning for not impregnating Sakura. I know he later says it is beacuse the situation grew out of control and he didn't expect Sasuke the e use the situation against Naruto. However how did he even know this. Unless he was able to sense something through Shizune he had no prior warning to the actions of the daymio and sasuke. Also he lacks and reason to get Shizune pregnant in the first place. His goal was to get Naruto with Sakura or just get laid. Impregnating a women surely wasn't necessary. In fact such an action would have put Naruto's chance with Sakura in danger. Not to mention the danger it would put into naruto's push for the Hokage seat. To have such a scandal with Shizune would have put them in bad light. The fact that rumors were going around that Naruto had forced himself on her shows that this was possible. The other complaint I have is only minor and is how rushed Hinata's inclusion was. I know this will be remedied next chapter but still felt rushed. I do hope you release a few more chapters to this story before you put it on a slower release schedule. Sorry if this has a lot errors as I am writing this on mobile.

Author's response

Thanks for the review. One thing I want to point out is that I still intend to keep Kurama's sex as neutral rather than the pronoun he. I know the Bijuu for the most part are considered male but being simply beings of chakra I don't think genders overly apply.

To answer your first question, keep in mind that after Naruto and Shizune were caught, Naruto became far more vulnerable to his rival. As such it wouldn't exactly be wise to have another person get impregnated by him. So while at the time it didn't know that Sasuke and the Daimyo would make a move, you could say that it had reason to suspect something would happen considering the distrust Kurama had for Sasuke.

Secondly, It wasn't like Kurama knew that another woman would make a move on Naruto, it had believed that Sakura would be the one. It didn't intend for Naruto to end up with anyone but her after all. As to Shizune, keep in mind Kurama didn't exactly plan for her to move on him as she did, therefore since it had already produced the supersperm for a lack of a better term, it wasn't as if he could instantly undo what he had done. Therefore, Shizune caught the bullet meant for Sakura.
