    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Sssssssssort of misunderstood? The plasma lifeforms don't seem to have any intelligence themselves; fusing with Hanzo didn't add the Anami's intelligence to his. What the fusion did was give Hanzo complete control over every part of his body. At a sub-cellular level, unless I miss my guess...

    Yeah, I got that this was a pre-planned op, I’m just wondering which of Danzo’s many sins was the deciding factor. I mean sure, Hiruzen was spoiled for choice, but I’m still curious. Was Orochimaru not the one responsible for nicking Danzo’s secret stashes?

    Well. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Will we learn why this happened today of all days, or what finally prompted Hiruzen to act? I mean, obviously Danzo badly underestimated Orochimaru, but what else? Of course, I doubt that anyone’s plan will go “all according to keikaku”.

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Wow, yet another great chapter. Perfect vector for attacking Obito’s beliefs. I'm leaving my more detailed thoughts over on QQ, but I just wanted to leave this here: I am fully expecting Gama-Chan to lose patience with the Bad Man hurting her Best Spider-Feeding Boy with a Pointy Thing and...

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Yeah, I remembered it from a chapter of a different fic. Not as interesting/fascinating as yours, but pretty fun in its own right. (And has a great solution to the Hyūga kin-slaving issue in the first season, one which the Hokage should really have used in canon.)

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Makes sense. Theoretically it might be possible for the Zetsu spores to cover up any other influences by manipulating Obito’s perceptions, but the necessary finesse to keep Obito from ever noticing such manipulations would demand an impractical level of constant focus. Any such tricks would have...

    Hmm. Does Obito know how thoroughly he’s been parasitized by Zetsu? Because I don’t believe for a second that the spore technique is limited to passive monitoring and combat disruption. It’s a well-known phenomenon in cognitive science that individuals who understand analytic theory often fail...

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    I keep having this scene appear in my head of Shisui calling the Hokage over. (The Hokage is half-buried in paperwork, bored out of his skull. Suddenly, a sound transmission:) SHISUI: Lord Third, you need to get to Hanzo’s place right now. Quietly. (The Hokage controls his reaction.) HIRUZEN...

    Awwwwwwright, people! Taking bets on how long it takes for Naruto to jump into the plasma stream, what’ll happen when he does, and who’ll be there when it happens yet fail to stop him! One-to-two odds on of it happening within the first five minutes of seeing Hanzo in the plasma stream...

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Hmm, wonder what the Summon Toads will have to say about these newly-enhanced distant cousins. Naruto’s going to be a lot more popular with the Gama clan.

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Great chapter. Really loving the way this story is turning out so far. Hanzo’s attitude is hilariously effective at driving home the inherent contradictions of a shinobi village. Wonder how Hanzo is going to continue his plasma experiments with Kakashi hanging around. Then again, given the way...

    Tell me about it. Something about the phrasing you used just screams parasite. Impending reaction: "Get it out GET IT OUT GET IT OUT-"

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    Am I just imagining it, or did he just undergo the chakra-based equivalent of a cultivation-style body reforging? Purging accumulated impurities? Not sure that I understand what's happening here. Is the chakra circulatory system eating his cell souls, or are the cell souls eating the CCS? And...
