You’re really starting to make me think of you as one of the best Naruto writers around, because you keep making characters I dislike or have no real interest in turn out to be awesome. Gai was always amusing in canon, but there didn't seem to be all that much depth to him. You give him so much here, even when he's too depressed to take Kakashi's challenge up. The way Past Gai dies was heartbreaking.
I like that Naruto isn't a genius here, and isn't too slow either. He's just as distracted by life as he should be at that age. I like Sakura as well, and am very glad she's being written well because sometimes she ends up sounding horribly nasty to Naruto:(
I really can't wait to see how the Sasuke issue gets addressed. At this age I always thought he was more hurt and angry then vengeful and psycho, so maybe Kakashi can fix him? (Or Iruka, he seems very skilled at making angry little boys see the light)
