    The adjective!character surprised them I suppose because they mostly don't see it outside of the Harry Potter fandom.

    Nevertheless, I had never seen a story with a mentor Zetsu. And it was also done before 'Black Zetsu is Kaguya's son'.

    Interesting, and the writing is decent. I also like the fact that Naruto isn't particularly likeable, it's a nice change of pace.

    In canon, there is no "light" side or "light" magic, this is all fanon. There is only Dark Magic and other magic.

    I've kinda got to wonder what a grey!Naruto would look like. I mean, he's literally an assassin for hire.

    The only thing I can imagine in a grey Naruto is that he decides to kill Sasuke as opposed to not killing him. Also I have heard the term before but it usually revolves around "intelligent" Naruto fics.

    Yeah, that's what he should be. An assassin/merc/etc...

    But canonically, Naruto is basically Jesus. Too nice to murder people.

    I am sure you have heard of the term grey characters. You know the anti-hero types neither good nor bad. Its hardly something which is exclusive to the HP fandom and has little to do with light or dark magic. Moreover Narutoverse deals with a world that which has children fighting wars and working as assassins. If there ever was a world with grey characters its that one.
    And I was hardly a dick here. A bit sarcastic yes! But hardly a dick after the gentleman actually swore at my recommendation.
    As for my replies at WbA. Can you point out which of those have offended you?

    His first onscreen kill was a nameless mook whom he just killed and moved on.

    Dude I went through this once. Just accept what they said and move on.

    You'll note that he has a tendency to use the Talk no Jutsu whenever he can, instead of doing what most ninjas would, which is fight/kill.

    For a ninja, he's remarkably diplomatic.

    And yes, I know that Naruto has killed people, but he's a lot nicer than the average ninja you might encounter in Kishimoto's world.

    The guy accused me of being a dick on WbA. None of the guys I have replied to have complained so far. So I was wondering where I was going wrong. But I realize this isn't the place to do it. So this is my last post on the subject.
    Anyway I am glad my recommendation was liked

    I am hoping he becomes a missing nin. That would be an interesting not to mention a logical take.

    I don't remember Naruto's confirmed kills. Source?

    I don't disagree with that. I was merely trying to point out a possible flow of logic.

    The gentleman in question did not swear at you, which was quite evident. Just stop taking things personally. That's all. It's just the general tone of your replies, tbh, nothing in particular. I know you're not a native English speaker (neither am I, for that matter), but just do try not being testy.

    Again, I don't have anything against you, per se; I actually do go through your WbA regularly, after all. :)

    I didn't take anything he said personally. I doubt it would have been an issue if you hadn't come along accusing me of being a dick.
    But let bygones be bygones. Like I have said before this forum is not the place to discuss this and I am sure the good people here would agree. So if you have anything else to say to me on the matter just PM me.

    Ah, my mistake. Wasn't a nameless mook; it was Yuura, the guy who Itachi was using as a fake body that Naruto killed with an Oodama Rasengan.

    Then of course there was Asuma Pain, though there's the technical distinction between whether you can kill a dead person or not.

    I thought Itachi had already killed Yuura and that's why he was able to use it as a fake body.

    Wasn't he still alive but completely under his control during the shapeshifting jutsu?

    DB says the target dies when the allocated chakra runs out, cancelling the jutsu. So he was alive at the time but his death was inevitable.
