I tend to stay away from killing off established characters unless I have a very good reason for it.

So, if I was writing this story, I would opt to come up with a problem that removes Jiraiya's influence on the council. There are multiple ways for you to accomplish this. A few ideas are:

You could use his love of women against him.
Place Naruto in danger.
Protecting Tsunade's Image ( She loves to drink and gamble )
Atsukai.
Orochimaru.

I haven't read your story, so I cannot give you advice on that.

But, if you look through some my previous posts in this thread, they might give you some ideas how to help with writer's block.

What really gets me though is the whole concern over popularity. Sure I can go to my stats page and see that my story's been accessed so many times, and reviewed so many times, but that's not what keeps me writing. If you write, for god's sake do it for yourself. None of us are professionals (Well, the majority certainly aren't), we don't write for money, there are no publishers breathing down our back, yet for some reason we act like we have all those problems and more. By forcing yourself to write stuff for others you are taking much enjoyment out of the activity.


Very true; you expanded on what my initial message was very well.

Depends on the reviews. If you have a review that says, "Hey, awesome story," while those are nice to get, they do not help the writer. Critiquing a writer's work is a little more involved. Point out what parts you liked in the story as well as the parts you didn't like. The best way to do this is print out the story and add your remarks as you read. That way it's fresh in your mind as you read.

10 of that type of review is worth a 1000 awesome story reviews.
