timepiececlock"You're the best person for the job in the village, and that's that!"
"We've got Kakashi. And Naruto, eventually."
"Kakashi's a given." ----EEEEHEHEEEEHEEHE! --- "But Naruto's a long way off. Even if you did see fit to give him your necklace."
There it is. Kakashi! He'll be an awesome Rokudaime.
Jeraiya's right about it being bad to have the leader constantly changing or constantly absent.
"Namikaze Minato" ... is that the Fourth's official name? And... holy cow, this is the official canonization of Naruto's parenthood, isn't it? About time. This confirms that the Hokage used his own son for the demon container. Really makes the villagers' betrayal all that much worse. What a way to treat the savior's only legacy. And I'm thinking no one's actually TOLD Naruto who his parents are, yet.
"A female ninja of the former whirlpool country..." I like that Naruto's tied to a water-named village. I like the various water-named villages better than grass or sand or rock or whatever. I like that his mother was a ninja, too. [spiral] Uzumaki Kushina... I guess Naruto took her name as part of hiding his parenthood.
Using rainfall as a detection method is pretty clever. But for the sake of common sense I'm going to assume it only works with rain that's already happening, since all it takes is one meteorology or natural sciences class to show you exactly how complicated the weather system is, and that you can't just create rain willy-nilly.

Date: 2008-06-26 05:36 pm (UTC)I agree with you about the Roy/Riza or Tony/Pepper dynamic... those are cases where they met professionally in those roles, so it doesn't feel forced.
Also, you already have the teacher-student dynamic and the age difference... adding the boss-secretary dynamic on top of that just feels like piling too much. Also, I can't help imagining Kakashi saying "Sakura, what the hell are you doing here? You're a ninja, so go be a ninja! God knows I can't." Well, he doesn't talk like that, but it's the sentiment.

Word. On so many levels. I mean, when you have ALL THOSE REASONS NOT TO... why? One or two, yes, but that much baggage to wade through?
And I highly doubt that he'd want Sakura to be stuck helping him. Especially, when you think about it, Shizune was the one doing Sakura's job in that fic for Tsunade - Sakura was training with her medically. I doubt she actually spent much time watching Tsunade work.
