Chapter 7 of the Flashing Dagger Technique by lord of the land or fire has been posted.

... That defense I posted for this story a couple pages back?

I take it back. I've read several of his other stories, and I already know where this is going. Mostly due to the fact that all of this guy's stories are exactly the same.

They use the same OCs, the same jutsu names, the same explanations for how jutsu work, the same arcs, and the exact same love interest, no matter who they are or how they act in canon. Even worse, they all end the same way. Naruto masters a horribly lethal jutsu, and then murders all of his enemies.

The Melancholy story is so freakin' sad...

[untold62]

^
But still, I consider it is one of the best stories I have read. I just hope that either Naruto finds out of Sakura's state early on and find a cure for her 'illness' (even though it is likely impossible). But it is very well written and not too angsty, just for my taste; I don't know how the others feel about this story, however...

[ShippudenGirl]

Well, I still read it... It's just so sad that Sakura doesn't wanna tell Naruto the truth. And Naruto thinks Sakura betrayed him for Sasuke when she saved his freakin' life; and then there's Hinata, who's family is pressuring Naruto to marry her. Pff... Talk about drama... You know, some fic's of read with similar problems usually have the same cure... I'm not gonna say what it is though

All in All it's a great fic and well written but I am still into more happy stories (Though almost all fic's I write end up with drama, romance, and tragedies)

I wonder... Where the heck is Sasuke anyways <<

My objection is he's not writing Naruto fanfic, he doesn't understand the fictional world he's writing in at all. This isn't the world of Ninja Scroll, quite the opposite. The majority of the ninja in Naruto's world are sick of the brutal lives (and that not being anywhere near as brutal as the world this fanfic writer envisons) they live, they want peace. The writer doesn't understand the ninja in Naruto's world live in a world like our military does. Most soldiers soon grow sick of being at war and long for peace. It's also, interestingly, similar to the lives the real historical ninja lived (minus the bijuu's and uberpowerful jutsu, etc... of course). The Ninja Scroll, etc... type ninja are based on later cultural myths that greatly exaggerated things.

The real Iga and Koga ninja (and a few other villages) were armed and educated peasants, who lived in semi independent villages.(very loosely tied to a daimyo) To survive the late Sengoku era they eventually had to tie themselves directly to Ieyasu Tokugawa, as Oda Nobunaga tried (and nearly succeeded) to wipe out all ninja clans. Tokugawa was the winner and the Iga and Koga ninja survived but lost their independence and old way of life- becoming hereditary palace guards to the Tokugawa shogunate.

I understand what you're trying to say especially Naruto's case. I believe I mentioned before that lord of the land of fire has always made Naruto too OC completely different to how Kishimoto designed him for his manga. Making him so smart, strong, dark, and even with a lust for blood that's not the Naruto we all know. It doesn't hurt to make Naruto a little smarter and stronger than he usually is in manga canon. For example in my story am I worthy to love you, yes I admit I have made Naruto a little strong and smarter after his training with Jiraiya but either way I have kept his image in canon. I still make him a goof ball and a pervert he can still act like that goofy kid when he was still twelve. But I also reconsidered that he has become strong and has matured a bit after his training and the time skip he's a mercenary but he doesn't kill his victims if he doesn't have a choice to do so (like when he killed Orochimaru using rasengan bomb)

I always keep in mind Naruto's character whenever I'm writing my stories. He's a ninja with a heart of gold, loyal, kind, a free spirit, who has a dream to become Hokage and wants to protect his village. But he's not some hardcore ninja who wants to kill, learn a super killer move to kill all of his enemies so sadly I have lost interest in the flashing dagger technique. If I feel like reading one of his updates I just do it with no motivation or interest and I don't review the chapter not anymore.

Lmao. I actually have never posted one of my fic's online xP I'm doing tons and TONS of rough drafts and I have THOUSANDS of idea's. One of my fic's is 196 pages long << Yeah, it only took me like only 2 months to write XD

I will post one eventually! My main problem is description; i'm working way hard on that - sometimes it's overly descriptive.

The fic I just started working on is called "Rokudaime" well, that's what I call the document XD I haven't come up with an official title yet. I just wrote a whole prologue which is about Naruto's past and some parts that have happened in the Manga.

Here's a quick little tiny, tiny summary. It doesn't really say much of the story line... Eh, don't think it's ugly! I'm very insecure.

Naruto Uzumaki is known as many things: a kind guy, someone who cares for others feelings; never backing down from a fight or giving up when things seem lost – he’s the inspiration that keeps many people moving forward. They call him the Child of Prophecy, the one person who can bring peace to the world of Ninja’s. A man who has the ability to protect an entire village single-handedly; that’s why 10 months ago he was appointed Hokage, Leader of Konohagakure no Sato. Becoming Hokage has always been Naruto’s dream as a boy - wanting to be respected, be noticed by the village. His past is a sad one, but was believed to be the very thing that gave him determination to become stronger and prove the villagers wrong - wrong that he wasn’t just the host of a Monster…

It's just a draft >> So i'll fix it up. It's mostly gonna be about Naruto and i'm gonna add Kushina to the picture, oh shoot, spoilers XD... Obviously it's gonna be NaruSaku too

You just need the right motivation to write the story. Once you are done imagining the story how the plot is going to go you won't have problems dealing with writers block. Take it from me writers block is a real pain in the backside.

I think my problem is I always try to use big words in my stories xP and my inspiration dies after probably half way through the first chapter. Bahh Dx
