"... what?"

If you're going to make a flash video - ESPECIALLY a sprite video - put an ounce of effort into it. If you're a spriter, you're representing a minority - a minority that is further driven into a negative light by half-assed flashes such as this. To be honest, I wouldn't have given it a zero, but I had to drag those 10's down somehow.
The only thing I can recommend to you is to put more effort into every aspect of the flash. The sprites were choppy and distorted (modified from their usual height/width giving them an unusual shape and appearance), most of the sound effects were either low quality or absent... more often than not the latter. Background music was too recognizable (Kakashi's theme from Naruto... ?) and, sorry to say, rather uncreative. The story was moderately thought out enough to be worth a series... but my biggest complaint of all is the text and overall presentation.
First off... I don't know where you got it in your head that this was the case, but NOT EVERY WORD STARTS WITH A CAPITAL LETTER. Virtually every line of text was littered with horribly blatant typos and grammatical errors, lines were unrealistic and not very well-thought-out... and for that matter, asking people to vote 5 in your comments? It's just tacky and desperate.
I don't want to sound like an asshole... I really don't. But spriters are bashed on and discriminated so much here on Newgrounds that it hurts me and it hurts the art when flashes like this are showcased on a mainpage. Overall, all that I can offer to you is to try a bit harder and I'll hope for improvement by the time your next flash comes around.
