God mother interlude

Man, you and Jackal are so good at including world building in tiny details. The part about the god mother talking about her furniture using ironwood from the north, talking about how it was a gift, showing the connections she has and using it a symbol to show the rising nationalism in the north, fucking perfect.

Jackal's work. What you like?

I mean the sex is always fun, and the way they described Lyanna was really fun, but subtle world building like that just amazes me with how good it's interwoven.

I really liked how the god mother was saying she didn't need luxuries or anything, that she was this nice simple girl who only needed the bare essentials and sex to enjoy herself, that all the extravagance was for show, but you could really feel the possessiveness and greed underneath it.

I mean sure she wasn't greedy for gold or power, but the way she talked about Lyanna said a lot.

What you like about the sex and tone of the Grove's worldbuilding?
What you think of the Godmothers?

In think the godmothers are a little creepy actually, which I like. You really made magic feel alien in this.

We try. Want to read bimbo worldbuilding? You can quickly scan it and Naruto, how badly does Wave arc go compared to canon?

I'm always up for some interesting world building.

With Wave arc, the big change I'm doing is that Naruto does end up killing someone. Its not a super secret ninja or samurai, its a random thug Gato hired that didn't have chakra or anything special about him. Just a random face in the crowd of the manga pages. But the emotional effects it leaves on Naruto is what I'm going to explore.

This idea of killing other people in order to chase your dream, and that slow creeping realization for Naruto that if he wants to be homage he's going to have to kill a lot more people. For Naruto the big realization is that as much as he wants to be homage, he's not okay with killing or hurting people to reach it and that maybe he's not cut out to be a ninja.

Lots of insecurities, trauma's, and character exploration all the while Tsuande is in the background trying to comfort and love him.

So will he be become a Sage instead? A monk? Do you want to keep him a shinoboi or have him be culturally one but pursue a different Chakra way

And the nine tailed fox with the seal cracked plots her seduction and transformation

Oh, Naruto will stay a Ninja for awhile. This whole character arc I described is going to be a long process. It'll take years for Naruto to get fully disillusioned with the ninja world, but it definitely starts with Wave arc.

By the end of it Naruto will want to try and fix the system like in Canon, except unlike canon he will be much more ruthless and forceful about making it happen. In his mind his children will have peace, and anyone who stands in the way of that is a threat to them.
