100 words can say alot. You captured a sad moment here.

Oh, Sarutobi! You failed, but the important thing is that you tried!

so sad.

Wow. Just...wow. Pure angsty goodness.

Gorgeous impact. Raw and devestating in an overlooked fragment of harsh reality. Amazing.

Good night, I don't know how you do it...

From the first line, this had a very different feel to most of your fics. It's slightly strange, not at all fluffy or giving the feelings of glee I so often feel while reading your work, but it's a lot harder hitting, especially that last poignant line. I like it .

Thank you, it has that distinct "Naruto" feel for me... There aren't many fics with Sarutobi-sensei ;

The story works quite nicely.
