Woah! Great fic. Intersting to see one that doesn't have Naruto as a Shinigami or a Hollow, or completely immersed in the Bleach universe already. While somewhat fast paced there is good characterization, great fights, humor, and a few hints of romance as well. It makes a goo combination.
I like that Naruto's not an instant sword master. While Naruto's attacks with Benihime are powerful there's still room for a lot of improvement. I look forward to seeing how he improves under Hayate and, hopefully, Jiraiya. It should make for an excellent combination. His development as a character and a fighter are a bit rapid in some ways, but not totally out of place given the situation he's in, and the type of person he is. I liked his interactions with TenTen, Neji, Sakura, and Kakashi, it was still Naruto, but different.
I also like Kakashi's characterization, he's a jerk who's set inhis ways a beliefs, but he's not on the 'kill the demon brat' bandwagon. Still I can't wait to see what happens when he has to admit to the Hokage and the Jounins that he's taught Naruto and Sakura jack.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Chuunin exam finals shape up as well as the Sand/Sound Invasion and other Naruto arcs. I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens when Bleach characters show up.
I look forward to your next chapter.Crimson Edge

Man, this story is awesome! I can't wait for you to update. Anyway the reason I am reviewing is to ask if you could make make the Kyuubi female(probably looks like Benihime with red hair, fangs, claws, nine-tails, and pointy ears) and add her, Hinata, Hana Inuzuka, Yukie Fujikaze, Anko Mitarashi and Tayuya into the Harem(this story looks like one so far).Crimson Edge

I'm really happy to see more of this.
Question, will Jiraiya be adding his two cents to Naruto's Training?
I have to admit, I do not like how Kakashi acted in this chapter, and can only hope that he can be a bit more grown up in following chapters. Yes he as made mistakes, but I still like him overall.
What is the deal going on with Benihime though?
At any rate, thank you for writing!Crimson Edge

'Those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash' - great philosophy for a man who wrote off one of his students right off the bat. Then tries to steal from him. As commander, he might have the right to request that Naruto loan Sasuke the sword, but not the right to order it. And that request would have been far more appropriate had it come from Sasuke in person.
At no point in Kakashi's diatrabe did he ever ask where Naruto got the sword or who trained him. He just reprimanded Naruto for learning without telling him and ordered him to stop attempting to improve himself without advance permission. Which pretty much shows that Kakashi isn't really interested in Naruto except as filler to bring his team size up to four.Crimson Edge

BRILLIANT chapter. Kakashi is an absolute bastard in this story (just like in pre time skip canon). I think that Naruto should leave the team. I can't see him willingly stay after the stunt Kakashi tried to pull. How about Naruto becoming the official apprentice of Hayate?
