Oldmangu is right.

I dont usually write comments but I thought id throw my opinion out there. This is pretty bad imo. The author took the naruto universe and turned it into a xianxia. He reversed guy and lees 8 gates turning it into something like cultivation. Every time he opens a new gate its exlained that it nourishes his bones and mucles and bla bla bla. Their was even a qi reference once. They also seperated the ninjutsu scrolls into levels of low medium and high. I wouldnt be suprised if heaven and earth starts being mention or MC starts concocting pills in the future.

I can deal with it turning into a xianxia I like a good cultivation story sometimes, but what I cant deal with is the constant face slapping. Heres the cycle:

1. MC says hes gonna do something

2. everyone looks down on him and thinks hes gonna fail, get ass whooped or die.

3. MC does what he said and stuns everyone.

4. Repeat from step 1.

idk if this continues later in the novel.

Another problem is everything comes way to easy to the MC. He learned chakra control similar to tsunade in a month... 1 month really? I like an op MC as much as the next guy but wtf. He also learned shadow clones in like 4 trys.

Another thing is the MC originaly couldnt use ninjutsu like lee. But after doing the reverse gates his chakra increased and he could use it. Except he uses no ninjutsu or genjutsu in any fights. He solves everything with quake punches. Its like the author has no skill in writing fights so he just makes the MCs fighting style boring as f*ck.

Also why did they throw him in anbu? Anbu is boring as hell. what was the whole forshadowing of him being tsunades disciple for? Its like the author was setting him up to be on tsunades genin team then changed his mind. And im pretty sure if you were to join anbu you would have to go through a ton of training. They just gave him a tour and a uniform. No training. No list of things he would have to learn. Nothing. His training of punching trees and rocks isnt something anbu would be proud of. Anbu is supposed to be like the black ops of naruto. If hes gonna be in anbu he should be learning stealth, assassination, tracking etc.

Im sure that im forgetting something but whatever. You understand what im getting at. I dont like this novel much. I was hoping for a well writen naruto fanfiction and got whatever this is.

*Black Zetsu keeps saying that he is Kaguya Otsutsuki's third son.
*For some reason Obito hated Konoha (specially Minato) even though in this one Rin didnt die.
*Obito releasing the other half of kyuubi, that Madara manage to get from Kushina, when Minato's wife (Mei) gives birth even tho true reason why Obito attack Konoha on the first place is because they need the kyuubi.
*The author keeps saying that the Reaper Death Seal's shinigami is part of Kaguya Otsutsuki's scattered soul
*Him randomly ends up in One Piece world after he and Momoshiki Otsutsuki fought and was prolly just added for increase chapter count.
*Even though this series is called "The Strongest Hokage" he never became a hokage

It's was a thrilling ride for me. For those who have seen both Naruto and One Piece, there is a story for both of them. The first part is, of course, Naruto, later on, he goes to the One Piece.

Many Iconic characters and awe-inspiring moments. Like the Fourth Shinobi War with Naito as the lead, it makes it thrilling. And later in the One Piece, the battle for Ace takes major changes because of Naito.

And BTW Naito is also called the Spiritual God.

Chapter 106: Naito wasn’t afraid of Hanzo, on the contrary, Naito was confident in his power, he even thinks that he’s strong enough to defeat Hanzo.

Chapter 107: He’s almost at the level of the Anbu Captain.

Hanzo of the Salamander is so strong that the three Sannin received their titles by managing to fight him 3v1 and survive. You're strong enough to defeat one of the top fighters in the world but almost at the level of merely a special forces captain?

His power rating changes from Kage level to Jonin and back constantly.

Kushina, Konan, and Tsunade.

He ate the Gura Gura no Mi which gives him shockwaves / earthquake powers. He has to work out his body to get strong enough to support it. That's a good setup. He has a made up technique that doesn't fit Naruto's system in the Reversed Eight Gates which explains how his body is getting strong, which isn't ideal but excusable except that he gets to ignore that techniques short comings too.

But then that technique gets rid of his issue with Chakra control so he gets ninjitsu. And every stage he gets more Chakra, while only at stage 3 he's already peak Jonin Chakra level, so by the end he'll be the top of the world in Chakra quantity too. And he gets A/S class ninjitsu so his problems with being an outsider are ignored. And then his "past" as a member of the Kusanagi sword clan is revealed and each one gives crazy powers so he's collecting powers there too.

• MC is hated in his place
• one female character that always help MC in time of need
• everyone else is out to get MC, and even try to kill him just for a reason for MC to be ruthless
• MC challenge the bully to a death dual
• the bully has backer, and backer try to kill MC, and there just happen to be another big shot willing to help mc

BTW is is just 40 chapter in, I'm sure there will be more cliche.
