Reviews FanficRecs / A drop of Poison

Boring god mode naruto.

Spoilers ahoy! Don't worry, nothing in the fic is really worth feeling spoiled over anyways. I'll say this before I get into the spoilers: This fic fails my most important test: It has way too many words/interesting event. So far there have been 75,000 words. Still waiting on an interesting event.

In this fanfic, the entire village conspires to ruin Naruto's life, but he perseveres, and discovers all the cool things Kage Bushin can do, including creating a complete and accurate copy of the Forbidden Scroll, allowing him to learn numerous techniques that are just perfect for the fighting style you know the author wants him to have. Unfortunately for whoever would like to see these fights (I don't, but maybe some will), they'll likely never happen, because in 14 chapters and 75,000 words, Naruto still hasn't graduated from the academy yet. No, those words are spent with Iruka learning just how special and oppressed a genius Naruto is, while naru.

It's a real shame though, because at least some of the concepts are cool, and could be interesting if not bogged down by all the blatant god moding: Naruto infiltrating the academy with some advanced clones, or just becoming an infiltration specialist with a kage bushin spy network. All of these are interesting concepts. But these interesting concepts are never used to create an interesting event. Just more +1s in whatever stat column the author wants to max for Naruto.
