My objection really had nothing to do with Naruto at all. It was the fact that the fic had descended into blatent Sasuke bashing that annoyed me.
I mean, we get the part where Naruto was basically having Sasuke get repeatedly castrated for his own amusement. This rminds me too much of this other forum I no longer frequent because the people there have serious character-hate issue, to the point of conveniently forgeting or rewriting facts from the series to justify their obsessive hate-on for the guy. This fanfic included this.
I mean, Sasuke in the canon already knew about Gaara. he had met the guy. He knew he was dangerous, and comments about this. Yes he is eager to fight Gaara but he's not stupid and doens't go out of his way to fight him. Heck, if Sasuke is so gung-ho about finding and defeating people that are stronger than him why doesn't he make a bee-line for Rock Lee. Rock Lee literally beat him in a straight up fight. So the author rewrites Sasuke's (and Kakashi) so that he is an annoying idiot.
Sorry, instant fail for me these days. If you can't find something you like about a character you are writing then stop writing about that character, period.
