    I just remembered that this was also a Tobirama!Naruto story.

    Edit: I still can't find it, I think it might have been deleted.

    Didn't Obito already have a plan for that? Sasuke was suppose to be his backup in case Nagato didn't work out.

    Not quite. He made some comment to that effect, but he needed the Gedo Mazo -- one of the few abilities Sasuke didn't have.

    Sasuke was going to be the backup in the sense that Obito was trying to get Sasuke to awaken the Rinnegan. That's why he sold him out at the summit and transplanted Itachi's eyes into him. He was planning to hook him up to the Gedo Mazo later and pump him full of Hashirama cells.

    Reading Not Sick. About halfway through. Surpisingly good. If quality is maintained, I will post in For Review (if it's not already there) when I'm done.

    Yeah, I liked what I read of that. Was kind of irritated how Jiraiya vs Obito turned out. It's not like he's still a kid like when he fought Minato. He shouldn't have been embarrassed like that. Also Jiraiya just knowing he wasn't Madara seemed like BS.

    The one gripe I have with the fic is that battles go in often questionable ways. It's not too ridiculous, but it's noticeable.

    *Shrug*

    Every author has their own take on how ninjutsu works and how characters stack up with each other. I've seen far worse, even from rec'd fics.

    I'm looking for some decent Orochimaru, or Danzo as Hokage fics or a different take on the Uchiha coup. I read Life in Konoha's ANBU and Not Sick are the only one's of their kind?

    Try Kokuten: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9817392/1/Kokuten

    It centers on a time traveling Sasuke who goes back to right before the Uchiha coup. The only problem is that future!Sasuke is from right before he learned the truth of what happened and ends up putting events in motion that make things worse.

    I have read that one. It seems that the author has gone on an indefinite hiatus though.

    There are a few others out there that I'm aware of, but I'd be no more able to track them down than you. I've only seen the summaries pop up a few times while browsing. I'm generally not big on those types of stories.

    Finally found it!

    https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8337120/1/The-Harsh-Truth

    There are truths and lies scattered in the shadows of the leaf. Conspiracies and secret meetings, decisions and backstabbings. The plot twists until the point where there is no ally, and no enemy. Only yourself, and your trust. Face the harsh truth: in the midst of the shinobi world, nothing is what it seems. Naruto is born five years prior to canon, and from there...!NidaimeNaruto

    That's misleading. It's not one of those stories.

    Oh, that fic.

    It's Shadenight123, so expect a bit of grimdark just for the sake of grimdark. Worth checking out for the cool ideas and the plot that keeps rolling along (it's never boring), but you might find yourself turned off rather early by all the shit that happens just because Shadenight likes shitting in Naruto's oatmeal.

    I noticed the number of favorites in my list on FFnet decreased. Not really an issue, there's a lot of crap in there. Then I realized what disappeared and I am disappointed. I had high hopes for this one. Chapter 4 was really good.

    Looks like the author pulled all her works. :(

    Just under 500k words in less than 5 months? Impressive if nothing else, off to give it a go.

    Shadenight was always a fast and verbose writer. He's like Kenchi618 in that he has decent starts but he has a shtick that he won't let go of, and it ruins his fics. It's also not the best English, which is more than understandable given that it's not his native language, so that's another detriment.

    Before I realized it was Shadenight I gave the first chapter a go, it was all over the place, confusing, and it Shadenight likes to leave things out of his writing because he assumes that the readers don't mind always having to read between the lines to figure out what's happening. It was actually pretty bad writing, not up to par with his HP work, which I got ~100k words into before having to stop.

    It was one of his first so the English in it is particularly bad. The quality of the writing does improve.
