Wow... Oh my god...

Now that is what I call plot insight.

Seriously, I cannot believe we learned so much about Kasumi. I mean, I just, I can't believe she tried to kill herself. That's so crazy...

I'm really glad this was told through Masaru's point of view, I think it makes the entire event more realistic. He didn't know all the details at this point, he just wanted to help her. It makes it so much more effective.

I'm also glad things seemed to work out between the pirates. That's good to hear :)

Great chapter, Silverwolf-san! This was a fantastic chapter! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Heehee, I'm glad you like it! Yes, she did try to take her own life. She was in a very unstable state in that time. I'm happy that you liked it in Masaru's POV; he is the one telling the story, so I tried to make sure that I didn't accidentally throw in some of Kasumi's thoughts or anything. But I'm glad you enjoyed seeing things through his perspective. Yeah, the Blue Pirates made up; I don't know if I could stand having them be mad at each other for so long. Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I'm glad you liked this chapter! Thanks a bunch for reading and reviewing, I appreciate it! You're awesome!

I think I'm getting so used to leaving cliffhangers they've just stopped affecting me. And I really don't think that's a good thing...... It's either that or I seriously am thinking of too many things right now to add notice the part crying out to know the truth. But yeah, I did like the cliffhanger at the end. It was a nice way to lead into the next chapter.

That was really nice of you to add in that part because of others curiosity. And you did amazingly well with it, by the way. I absolutely loved it. It's hard to believe you came up with that on the spot. It was absolute genius! I loved the beginning. It was just so descriptive, setting up the whole thing beautifully. And then she actually got into the office. I was just waiting for her to get caught of for her to have to go super spy and start knocking people out before they noticed her, but you did ten times better than that. You had her find that file, and just everything that happened after that was really amazing. From the second I read it, I highly doubted Kasumi actually had killed her family. I don't know why that is seeing as she's an S-class killer and everything. I guess it's because of how she treats her crew, who she treats like her family. I just couldn't imagine her killing her family when I saw how she treated her crew. And then the mental breakdown. Wow. I was just seriously..... Yeah, I don't know the right word. I guess you could say I feel like I got more attached to Kasumi in that moment. Yeah, she definitely didn't kill her parents, but she blames herself for it. I'm starting to lean toward Orochimaru doing it to get to her, which would be a reason why she would blame herself. Speaking of, I wonder what Sasuke and Kabuto are up to now that they know where she is. Okay, back to the current chapter. I was somewhat surprised when Kakashi found her. I'm starting to think you like having Kakashi be the.... I don't know what exactly to call him. Emotional helper? No, that doesn't fit exactly.... Well, whatever it is, that's what you have him being. I like that he found her, though.

Then the Blue Pirates scene. Wow. Now that was totally and completely awesome. I can't decide which of the parts I liked more. But if I had to choose, I'd probably go with the second part. The entire situation is very realistic considering just who we're dealing with. Masaru was right in calling them egoistical. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First I wanted to say just how much I loved the part with Masaru and Osamu. It was a nice way of showing their feelings yet also the strength of both's friendship when they could do what the other Original Nine couldn't do toward him. It both showed us part of their heart and their friendship, which I loved. And then the whole Original Nine (minus Kasumi) thing. Yeah, that was definitely great. I say that the Blue Pirates need to lose more often and stop being such jerks toward their friend. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Even Kasumi did. She's messed up in Konoha, but the dumb butts don't know that, so...... Anyway, I was kinda surprised at their anger. I mean, yeah, I should have expected it seeing as it does make sense, but I guess I expected them to have a little more faith. It especially surprised me when little Akira joined the dark side. Then again, they are considered the dark side, so the darker side I guess. And how they met was definitely a nice surprise that has my mind creating fake scenarios.

The first thing I thought of when I realized what Masaru's past was was Kailey. They're both pretty different, though. Kailey is willing to punch someone while Masaru refused to physically touch anyone in a way that hurts them. But I really liked what you did with Masaru and how he is because of his past. The part about him almost hitting Ayame is probably my favorite part of the entire thing. I don't know why, but it is. Maybe I just find it really close to what I think because so many times people want to get back at others by inflicting the same thing they felt while they know how it feels. That's the way I've always seen things, so I guess I was surprised to see Masaru does as well.

Overall this was a great chapter that really needs a follow up. I hope you can get to it soon, but I can wait. Sheesh, it really is bad that I can wait either because I'm so used to my own cliffhangers or because I'm too busy, isn't it?

Author's Response: No, that's not necessarily a good thing. Jeez Sasaui, and I specifically left this cliffhanger just for you. Now you've gone and made me sad :'(

Yeah, I believe you and a couple other people said they were eager to seeing what Kasumi would accomplish when she was out of her cell. I decided to go with that and show you guys. Though now that I think about it, I think including that part of the chapter has opened up a couple new doors for me, so perhaps it was a good thing I did this :) I feel like you're always telling me that my on-the-spot scenes are good, and I never believe you. I don't think this is an exception. I am rather iffy on that segment of the chapter... I'm glad you liked the description though, I think I was in a relatively good mood the day I wrote the scenery. Personally, I was also in suspense when Kasumi was in stealth mode; I was worried that she would get caught, and I was writing the darn thing. Ah, so you don't think Kasumi killed her family. Well, for now, I left it up just to have the readers think about it. You'll find out eventually ;) Hmm, do I really have Kakashi in there that often? Huh... Well, I made him be the one to find her because I thought he would be the least likely to actually fight her. Maybe I do use him a lot...

Hehe, I quite liked this scene as well. I tried going about it in a realistic way, so I'm glad I accomplished that. Ha, I found it ironic that the temporary Blue Pirate captain was saying that the Blue Pirates are egotistical; ah, maybe they've been spending too much time with Kasumi. I like Masaru and Osamu together; they're just so easy to write about as friends, so when they were arguing, I imagined two best friends fighting because they definitely can be considered one of the crew's best pairs of friends. Heehee, I think you're right in saying that the Blue Pirates need to lose more often. They definitely are very cocky. Poor Masaru was the brunt of all their anger and frustration. Wow, can you imagine what they would do if they found out Kasumi messed up? That'd sure give them all a good slap in the face.

I knew you would think of Kailey, I even thought of her a bit when I started writing it in this chapter. I didn't mean to copy though, it was all in the bingo book from last year. I'm surprised you like what I did with Masaru not wanting to physically touch anyone to hurt them. He is a dangerous pirate, so I took a bit of a gamble by doing that. I'm glad you like the part where he almost hit Ayame, since that kind of shows off his attitude toward physically harming people. He may rely on ninjutsu, but he won't touch anyone to hurt them. I'm happy you enjoyed the little insight to Masaru's mind.

Oh, don't you worry about the follow up. It's actually done, just finished yesterday. But I'm going to wait until the weekend to upload it ;) But it's okay that the cliffhanger had no effect on you, and since you're busy, don't fret about trying to read it when it comes out. I don't mind. Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing! I really appreciate your lovely feedback! Thanks a bunch, you're awesome, Sasaui!

Whoa, she was out! Not as epic as I thought, but putting things in about her past is always ridiculously fun to read about :D

Wow! I can't believe Kakashi was the one who found her. I was expecting Tsunade or Naruto :P But they didn't fight, which surprised me. But I think it made sense after she had her mental breakdown. Or at least I think so anyway....

But the best part was the epic conversations and dialogue between the Blue Pirates! That seriously blew my mind just because we learned so much. And there's more left to learn, which is even more awesome! I can't wait to find out more about Kasumi and Masaru!

Nice job, Silverwolf! Keep up the awesome work with this story!

Author's Response: Aww, I'm sorry it wasn't as intense as you would have liked :( But I'm glad you still liked reading about her mysterious past :D Haha, you're right in saying that it was because of Kasumi's mental breakdown that they didn't fight. Kakashi was slightly skeptical about what had happened to her. Wow, you liked the dialogue between the Blue Pirates? I'm glad you enjoyed that, since I know you like action better than conversations. That's a big compliment! And this is only the beginning of what you will learn about Kasumi and Masaru ;) Thanks a bunch for reading and reviewing! You're awesome!

Amazing! Kasumi and I appear to have similar goals in life at the moment. It seems like we both want a decent map of Konoha. I swear there used to be a decent map on Narutopeadia, but they appear to have discarded it for some reason and the only others ones I can find are either from computer games or clearly made up by roleplayers - and all far too simplistic for my purposes and missing half the landmarks I want...

Moving on... it's about time for the review, huh?

o/ Plot development? 10/10
Now this is what I'm talking about. Very interesting plot progression and I really can never guess what'll happen in the next chapter.
Something I would want to warn you about here is when Kasumi is hinting about how the Blue Pirates have more 'integrity' than Naruto's giving them credit for. I don't doubt they do, but please remember you've already established, repeatedly, that they attack ships and harbours without mercy and kill even the most innocent civilians. Don't get caught in the trap of suddenly re-casting them as 'bad guys with a heart of gold' against all evidence to the contrary. I'm not saying you were going to, but I see too many authors - not just in fanfiction - fall into that trap as they start to bond more with the characters, so I just wanted to add a word of caution. You've established them as ruthless killers and you should try and keep that element to them. They may not be all bad and they may have good reason for much of what they do - but the fact remains they are prepared to slaughter innocent civilians to achieve those ends. Changing that now would just undermine their credibility as characters.
Again not a criticism, but just something that intrigued me was the way Masaru remembers seeing Kasumi as a fragile girl on the day he was recruited. It surprised me that he would want to serve under her if that was his impression of her. I look forward to seeing where this leads! (I still love MasaruxKasumi.)
I also loved his wind jutsu by the way. The fact that it was a wolf made me smile as well.

o/Use of characters? 10/10
Why I even keep this section in, when I know it's not going to be a problem for you is beyond me, but yes - everything was perfect as usual.

o/ Description? 9/10
This was a hard one to call. Some bits were a definite 10, like that stuff about the blood and water when Kasumi was in the forest. There was also the way you brought out Sai's fake-looking smile expression that just really brought it to life for me and made me able to just picture it in my memory - especially with the way you described the eyes. That was great! Other parts, while still great and well-written didn't stand out to me as much. So I gave you a nine as it's something to work on.

o/ Inconsistencies with cannon plot? Characters in-character as regards to the original work? 8/10
It's Naruto who lets you down here. I think you've mentioned before that you have a problem writing his older self. He would be perfectly in-character for his 13-year old self, but at 15/16 he's matured a little bit more. I used to struggle a bit with this too in the early part of SWB (the fact that I was watching a lot of the earlier series at the time didn't help). He would probably whine about her being late - but he probably wouldn't hurl insults at her for criticism he knows is justified. At most it would probably just be muttered comment about how he 'was having an off-day' or 'he'll get her next time'. Same with the random name-calling later on, I doubt he'd do that - unless he was particularly incensed about the carnage she caused among the civilians in the Land of Waves, in which case I think a reference to that outrage might help tie that behaviour in better. The older Naruto is more grounded and focused on right and wrong and the bad things that happen and hurt caused because of blind hatred and desire for revenge, so if I had to give advice it would be to try and include more of that.

o/ Overall quality of the writing? Easy to read? Grammar and Spelling? 9/10
A couple of linguistic notes here. I noticed at least one of the paragraphs in the Sai&Kasumi fight had every sentence starting with the same word, which made it sound a little stilted, and - I will mention this, but frankly you can feel free to ignore it because even I find it pedantic & not always helpful in getting your work to sound right - there were a few sentences starting with the word 'but' throughout.

o/ Enjoyment? An engaging read? 10/10
Absolutely loved it! It was exciting, engaging and a thoroughly entertaining read. The thing about 'a pirate captain needing to be a little diabolical' actually made me laugh out loud and the fights were fantastic and well-written. I was hooked the whole way through.

o/ Overall? 10/10
Fantastic chapter. Real stellar work. I loved every minute.

Author's Response: Oh, that sucks. I'm sorry you haven't found a map of Konoha. I don't even think I've ever seen a decent one, so I'm sorry I can't help you with that :(

Great! That's my goal in this story, to keep my readers guessing! Hmm, I can definitely understand where you coming from the 'integrity' thing. I know exactly what you mean, for I have seen that happen in stories as well. I don't intend on portraying the Blue Pirates with hearts of gold or anything of the sort, but I do intend on bringing about their original personalities, before they were pirates, so that we see some characterization. Thanks for the word of caution though, I'll definitely try to steer away from that with renewed vigor :D Ah, hehe, Masaru recalls the first day he met Kasumi, which was when she was a fragile little girl. As for serving under her as her first mate, well, that explanation will be coming in the next couple chapters. A lot of important things from the past will be revealed, so don't worry ;) Haha, a wind jutsu in the form of a wolf, did you honestly expect any less from me? XD

Sweetness! I didn't know I was considered perfect in this category, so that's an awesome compliment to hear!

Aww, my inconsistency with description is a problem, I see... Well, that's so disappointing yet helpful to hear. I'll definitely try harder, thanks for telling me about that.

Oh my god, I didn't realize I had butchered him so badly! I can't believe I did that, I did the main character of the manga no justice at all! *sigh* I'm so upset with myself... Darn... Thanks so much for telling me about this, I'll definitely try harder to write him correctly in his next appearance.

Hmm, I never noticed any of that before... I usually pay attention to the beginning of my sentences; I can't believe it didn't turn out as well. Yeesh, I must have been in a sloppy mood when I wrote this chapter...

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed reading this! Even with all the inconsistencies in this installment, I'm so happy you still liked it! Especially with the fights, since it was ridiculously hard to write some of those battles... Thanks so much for reading this! I really appreciate this honest critique, I shall use this to pump myself up when writing the next chapter! Thanks again for reading and reviewing, you're amazing, Batty-Onee-san!

Wow....Wow...WOW....!!!!!

Keep up the good work...!!! :D

Author's Response: Haha, well, you're welcome for updating ^_^ I was under a lot of stress the past couple months, and with some added pressure from my parents, I finished the college applications. So it's quite a relief now.

I don't know why, but writing the prison scenes are easier for me than some other scenes. In terms of description, at least. I think that makes me a sick person, that I like writing the prison scenes and their elaboration :P

Heehee, yes, the Icha Icha Paradise thing was just a quick little insert of humor that I decided to throw in there. I can't imagine Kasumi would like very graphic content such as Jiraiya's books, so I thought it would make for a quick laugh.

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mention you :( I was thinking more of Kasumi when I wrote that. I'll go change that right away, because I do appreciate the fact that you decided to write about the Blue Pirates :)

Yes, Masaru was the first to meet Kasumi, and she wasn't as psycho as she is now. Um, I guess you could say that they are the founders, but it's actually the Original Nine who are the 'founders', since the Blue Pirates wouldn't exist without them together. The Original Nine are all the pirates I've given names to (Kasumi, Masaru, Hayashi, Ayame, Rikuto, Tsubame, Kaito, Akira, Osamu), so they're the real founders. You'll learn more about that though in the next couple chapters ;)

Yeah, Masaru's under a lot of stress with being captain. It's not an easy job ;D And he's trying to live up to the Blue Tiger of the Mist, since he wants to do her justice. But he's also really missing her, so he's not thinking clearly either.

Hmm, I'm glad you like Kasumi's attitude. A lot of thought goes into her dialogue because things that she says are usually either really deep or really clever. I actually don't think of anyone else when I write about her, I base her entire personality around my imagination and what I would want her to be like. So I'm especially glad you like that about her.

Haha, no, actually, the Slime Style was not Demon Fox's idea. That was completely made up on a whim XP

Yeah, I didn't want there to be a conflict between Sasuke and Inari, that would probably take up an entire chapter, and since that's not where the story is meant to go, I didn't want to dwell on it too much. So Sasuke's hood had to hide his face for the while :P Yes, the Sound shinobi will be making their move, though they may be put on hold for a few days to wait for Orochimaru. As for Team 7... meh, you'll have to wait and see ;)

Aww... I knew the battles didn't come out the way I wanted... Since the reformation activity included a taijutsu only battle, it was even harder for me to write because I've grown accustomed to writing Kasumi's kekkei genkai. But I'm surprised that you like some of my earlier battles, I don't think I was ever good at writing fights. I don't think I write with a mindset that I'm bad at writing, though I wouldn't be surprised if that what is subconsciously happening... But thanks for the honesty, I'll work on it for my upcoming fights later in the story.

I'm really happy that you liked the river scene, that part was actually planned. But I'm not going to go too into depth about the quote, I don't want to give away too much ;) Well, when Naruto comes in, he usually ends up being uncharacteristically smart when it comes to helping others. In a situation such as this, it may have been unintentional, but it at least helps to show another side to Kasumi :D Hmm, Kakashi may have known what happened to Kasumi; he does have the same faith in Naruto that Tsunade does. That sounds pretty valid; I didn't plan it that way, but that could definitely work.

Yeah, who knew slime would be so difficult for the pirates? And to think, I completely made that up for this chapter :P Masaru definitely didn't want to run away, no pirate captain ever wants to have to run. It's a sign of weakness in the eyes of the enemy and the crew. And you're totally right about the crew's response, it will be quite a lot for Masaru to handle when the time comes. That'll be coming in the next chapter ;)

Yeah, Kasumi REALLY hates Konoha, so she doesn't want to spend more time there than she has to. So the attack has begun (only a bit though, the intense parts come later).

Yes, my submissions are done, I'm very happy. I don't know how much free time I'll have though, my senior year classes are still difficult and all. Homework and tests are awful, so I don't know if that means I'll be updating more frequently or not. Anyway, thank you very much for the long review! I appreciate it! And thanks for the good wishes, they mean a lot. Thanks again for reading and reviewing, the feedback means a lot!

This was awesome! The battles were absolutely amazing! I love action, and this chapter definitely delivered it. It was incredible!

Wow, Kasumi is such a complicated person. I really wonder what is going to happen with her...

Things are definitely becoming more interesting now. I can't wait to see how things turn out! Keep up the great work, SilverWolf!

Author's Response: Haha, I'm glad you liked the battles. If I was able to please you with action, then I know they came out decently ;) Why yes, Kasumi is quite complicated, and things are only get even more complicated with her in the long run ;D I'm glad you liked this chapter, thank you very much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it!

Gosh, I stayed up all night reading this. I would have reviewed earlier, but then I passed out... :/

But anyway, I really love this story! It's so cool! The entire theme of pirates was so awesome, and I enjoyed every moment of this! I hope you update this story soon, it's so amazing!

Author's Response: Aww, I'm so honored that you stayed up so late to read my story :D Thank you very much for doing so. I'm really glad you enjoyed this. I hope this story continues to please you. Thanks for the wonderful review! I appreciate the support a lot!

I'm not sure how S class these goons are, but I like it! Haha the pirate leader is a girl, that's a funny joke.

I think that there could have been more dialogue between the pirates and ninja to make the fight more personal and build a rivalry, in anime they always love to pause and banter about crap. I really think your strength in fics is dialogue and not action.

Shino should have turned the entire landscape into kikaichu and blotted out the sun with them. nazenara, he is a boss.

The original and interesting plot really carries me through this fic.

Author's Response: My gosh... I can't believe you still like this. This has really kept you interest? O_O I'm surprised. I've always wanted a female pirate captain, hence, the Blue Tiger of the Mist. It's funny, Battle Stadium was posted to help authors, myself included, improve on battle scenes. That's when I realized I liked dialogue better than action. So yes, I strongly agree with the fact that my action sucks. *shakes head* Sorry, no Shino action right now... Gosh, I'm so happy you like this story so far. I feel so accomplished now :D Thank you very much for reading and reviewing!

Dayumm! The entire frikkin village, my god.I like this a lot, I have to say:

If there was an entire boatload of S ranked criminals floating around in the sea, i'd imagine the countries would keep an eye on them. Not to mention I doubt it would be reasonable for only 2 Jounin to be sent after an entire crew composed of Akatsuki level villains.

I mean, judging by the sound of the blue pirates, if they land anywhere it should be a damn state of emergency.

Author's Response: XD I'm really happy you like this so much. Meh, true enough, but as Kakashi said, Naruto is his own army. Other than that... *hangs head in shame* I have no other excuse. That is truly my fault and misjudgement. Other than that though, I'm glad you like it :D Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Wow! This was so cool! Oh, thanks for giving credit to me, but you did an awesome job of writing it all! Haha, everything was so fun and cool at the same time! I liked this chapter, and it was long too! :D Good work, it was really good!

Author's Response: Well, I'm going to give credit when and where credit is due. I couldn't have done this chapter without your idea, so thanks again! I'm glad you like the way I wrote your idea, I feel so accomplished XD Thank you very much for all the reviews, I appreciate it very much! Thanks for reading this, and thanks even more for bothering to review! You're awesome!

Ooh, Sasuke and Orochimaru are getting involved now. As much as I hate him, I think Orochimaru is right: a Kasumi vs Sasuke fight would so intense!

Team Guy cracked me up! It was so funny. I felt bad for Kasumi, since she dealt with them on her first day. Haha, I can't wait to see more reformation fun! Excellent work with this!

Author's Response: Yeah, no matter how creepy Orochimaru is, he is right in saying that a Kasumi and Sasuke fight would be pretty epic ;) Well, I'm glad you liked Team Guy, though we both know that Kasumi certainly didn't XD More reformation fun is just up ahead, I hope you continue to like Kasumi's torture... uh, I mean reformation, yeah, that's it... Haha, thanks for reviewing!

Best... battle... ever! The captain is so cool, and her abilities were awesome! The fight was just incredible, I really liked it. It was definitely amazing. Excellent chapter, it was my favorite so far!

Author's Response: Haha, I guess this battle made up for the lack of action in the last chapter, huh? I'm really glad you liked the fight, since I think I have trouble making them flow just right. But this is your favorite? Yay! I'm so happy you liked it so much! I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks a bunch for reading and reviewing, you're amazing!
