CloverGrlHow can someone not have feelings for a guy who was willing to lay down his life for her!? Grr...I don't like Linda. Ekyt seems like a really nice guy though. And lol at Ino's flirtation failure!

alchemest1 on (Chapter: 34)
alchemest1Nice! That match was priceless mate. Perfectly fitting that pompous asses style. The part with Temari was great! Just as you described it! I'm liked the way you split the Hokage's mind. That was brilliant having him agree with Ekyt but side with closet pervert. I ALSO like how Hayate chose a side. So unlike him but so proper at the same time! I can't wait for the next chapter! Oh and thanks for letting me proctor the match. Lol. Nice work working in the wolf too!

alchemest1 on October 28, 2007, 4:26:26 PM

alchemest1 on (Chapter: 33)
alchemest1Nice. Lol. I'm threatening to bite even here. Lol. I love this chapter. I can both staring daggers at one another then the closet perv running to the Lord Hokage to tattel. Lol. This is getting ever better. I can't wait for the match.

Good work!! You're keeping all the cannon characters in character too which is awesome :D I feel sorry for Ekyt though...his team's falling apart ;.; Hope he pulls out on top though!! Anyhow, fantastic work!! I shall comment again later when I've read some more ^_^

Neopetgirl on September 21, 2007, 4:17:25 PM

Neopetgirl on (Chapter: 2)
NeopetgirlWhoo! Looks like Naruto has his eyes on Linda *giggles*
This chapter was quite interesting! Ino is after Chakaro..*laughs* Now that's quite funny. I think the dialouge is fitting for most of the characters! Defintely in character which I simply adore about your fic.
And your ocs they're awesome additions. And you surely know how show each of these scenes in a descriptive outlook for the reader! Which I love,I just think you should describe a little more about how a certain character talks and how they sound or feel while they're doing so.
Maybe it's just me though,I'm not exactly best at advice.
Isn't many flaws with grammar and such that i've caught so far. I really like the plot and story as well so I defintely look forward to reading more when I can! :)

alchemest1 on September 19, 2007, 8:39:44 PM

alchemest1 on (Chapter: 7)
alchemest1Wow! Sweet battle! A great mix of jutsu's. Now I'm kinda sad that the team is breaking up but I have to say I saw it coming. Anyway. At least there wasn't any Seiza in this chapter. Lol

alchemest1 on September 19, 2007, 7:56:34 PM

alchemest1 on (Chapter: 6)
alchemest1(groans at the thought) The Seiza!!! Don't remind me of that position from Hell! Lol. To many hours of kneeling like that (if you can call that kneeling) Why does that have to be their favorite position in ninjit su? Lol. Anyway. Great chapter. The fight was awesome! He is getting really good and I can't wait to see the next fight! I hope there is alot of Taijutsu in the next fight but I doubt it. I can relate to those matches! This is cool I love the story line it's like an on going episode. I'M DEF IMPRESSED!

alchemest1 on September 19, 2007, 7:11:41 PM

alchemest1 on (Chapter: 5)
alchemest1Sweet chapter. Complicated but forward. Great job. Wow Ekyt is learning fast! His taijutsu is as good as mine. Lol. Now if only the others were real for meet to learn as fast as him. Lol. Wow. He is going to be unstopable bedford long!

alchemest1 on September 19, 2007, 6:48:27 PM

alchemest1 on (Chapter: 4)
alchemest1Sweet chapter even with the traitor! I can't believe he actually betrayed Ekyt to join with that moron! Now I want to see what's next!

SharinganKakashiawesome as usual ^_^

Midnight_Chaos on September 13, 2007, 2:16:13 PM

Midnight_Chaos on (Chapter: 1)
Midnight_ChaosPerfect start NextGaurdian!! You introduced the characters very well :D I'm looking forward to reading the rest!! Your characters sound very interesting...I feel sorry for Ekyt though, with that wounded eye. I wonder if it will ever heal? I'm intrigued to see where this is heading ^_^

There are just a couple of things you can fix up if you want, mainly the dialogue setup. I learned these things from other authors from fanfiction since I used to do these mistakes myself....but I'll pass the info onto you if you wanna use it. First, it's always good to have each character's dialogue on a seperate line. For example:
"I'm gonna be hokage! Believe it!" screamed Naruto, earning him a deathglare from Sasuke.
"Shut up Loser," Sasuke replied in a low mutter.
This way, it's easier to read, and ppl don't get confused as to who is speaking.

When writing dialogue too, if the sentence continues on after the person has stopped speaking, instead of using a fullstop at the end of their speech, use a comma. Luckily someone corrected me on this mistake at the start of my Jak and Daxter fic a while ago...here's a basic example.
Incorrect grammar: Sakura narrowed her eyes at Naruto, "You are such an idiot." She said.
Correct Grammar: Sakura narrowed her eyes at Naruto, "You are such an idiot," she said.
Notice how there is a comma at the end of her line instead of a fullstop? I hope I'm making sense...also, you may know this already, but there isn't a capital on the word "she". Seriously, I'm not good at explaining things like this lol. If you want me to explain further, I'll try ^_^ But yeah, that's really the only main problems.

It may also be a good idea to either have a larger space between scene changes (hitting "enter" again would probably do before each scene change/location change) or you can add in a line to split it. On fanfiction, I usually add in a line (not sure what it's called O.o;) whenever it changes from one group's POV to another. You can also just add in stuff like OOOOOoooooOOOOOO or something to show it's a different setting/scene. This isn't really that important, but I just got a little confused here and there when the setting suddenly changed. That might just be me though, since I get confused over anything these days *lowers head in shame*

Just one more thing, which again isn't very important. Besides, this just might be your style of writing :) Expanding on a character's actions and how they say things is a good way to explore characters in depth. The more you explain what a character is doing and saying, and how they're acting, the more your readers can connect with that character. Eg:
"I'm hungry Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto said.
Adding in a few descriptive words here and there will help us to visualise Naruto's hungry, hungry state...mmmmmm.....food.....*horrified gasp* I haven't eaten yet!!! They'll be some serious fridge raiding after this....but back to this, here is the same line but with a little more words added.
"I'm hungry Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto said loudly, tugging on Iruka's sleeve while giving his teacher a pouting look. Long story short, explaining a character's actions/thoughts/feelings/dialogue in more depth will help us to understand them better. You've done a good job on Ekyt though, explaining his thoughts and such. I just think the other characters need a little bit more too. But again, this isn't that important. It's just something you could look into to help us connect with the cast a little more.

I think that's all of it...overall it's an awesome start, and I'm really looking forward to reading the rest. If you need me to explain anything again, feel free to ask. Other than that, good luck NextGuardian!! I really hope this story goes well for you :D Keep up the great work!!

I think it will be cool to see them fight eachother. Saun: In no particular order it would have to be Naruto, Kakashie and my boy Ekyt. She: No particular order. I like Kayla, Saukra and. . . Hmmm. . . .for some reason I say Ino. Lol. Go: You def. Have to try an Ekyt and Saukra pairing. It would be amusing to read. And the answer to the big Rocue: Well duh!!! Of course I want you to continue writing this story! It's like a really long episode. It's a fan's dream! You write it so well. It should be in the show!!!

About the Forward Lotus, if it's the one where he was gonna wrap his bandages around Ekyt that would be the Primary Lotus and the other lotus where he unlocks 5 of the 7 inner gates is called the Hidden Lotus which he only uses in a situation to protect his nindo or ninja way
