This series is very good. It utilizes its source material in a fantastic way I have not seen fan fictions do before. The author mainly uses the Naruto universe as simply a background to draw context from not as a primary plot driver.This story could be taken out of the Naruto universe and stand on its own as an enjoyable story, which is something that is rarely seen with fan fictions. This means you do not need any prerequisite knowledge of Naruto. Any knowledge you already have, or gleam by reading the wiki, simply works to enhances the background and context of the story, something that a typical story could not take the time to flesh out in a reasonable word count. In this story, even small background characters have volumes written about them that you can read about on the Naruto wiki, which makes for a very interesting read.This story has changed my opinion on what is possible for a fan fiction and after picking this story up, I find myself regularly picking up fan fictions which I almost never did before. I highly recommend anybody who likes Chinese cultivation novels or similar give this story a chance.
