The first half was good, but I got lost on the second half. Also, it had way too much exposition. Seriously, why are we spending so much time with these mystics? I want to go back to the village and see how things changed. Instead, we spent an hour on a bunch of gifts
I skipped through most of the second half, but it was still long. Should have given a warning that this story doesn't take place in Konoha or in the Naruto universe.
