Absolutely freaking awesome...

Loved the whole story..

this story like most action/comedy/romance anime started off so serious then slowly fell into comedy that didn't once feel off or unnatural. Really is a great fic

This has to be one of the greatest.. no, THE greatest story i have ever had the pleasure of reading. You should get an award of some sorts... I always thought the whole Naruto leaves Konoha thing to be cliche cause everyone tries it at least once, and while some are good, most just revolve around Naruto killing everyone, and being uber strong. But you did something completely different, and made it into something enjoyable instead of annoying. This one will stay somewhere in my mind for as long as i live, and as long as i dont develop amnesia. So keep on writing your stories, and maybe do a sequal, if that floats your boat.. or something like that... And as my review ends i bid you adu, good sir.

i have no idea what is everyones obsession with itachi eating pocky? its a bit odd.

I can't believe you that joke was coming as soon as i read the word poohbah

Lol. This is so funny! xD I remember reading this and I'm reading it again. Lol. Can I put certain parts from this chapter and the last one on my profile? I want to remember it. Awesome story by the way. ^^

Odds are you probably don't even get these messages anymore. But I just found your story and had a lot of fun reading it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Good story

Not great, but good, had its merits

Mega OOCness, but lots of hilarity

"(It should be noted that Zabuza never wore anything on his upper body, but he had Haku to carry all the emergency supplies)"

It should be noted that you're wrong.


Momochi Zabuza wore the holder for his sword when he made his appearance

During the second fight he wore a black shirt

and the sword it should be noted translates literally to Decapitating Carving Knife

i dare you to pronounce TUAHCAEOETHCTMDWAITFWJALSANP volume two

A great book. There are very few books on Temari and Naruto and even less good ones. Good all around book.

Let me be one of many to say well done.

This story, which began at a point of the canon storyline which could indeed divert as you portrayed, was a masterpiece. I find very little discrepancies with your choice of logic and character development. Also, you've done your research.

The idea that Naruto would abandon his own village is absurd, which is what makes this story one in a million to pull it off without sounding like it was forced or just a plot hole. Naruto's character development is obviously one that is very tricky, considering his nature as a devout and otherwise unflappable human/demon being. However, you've taken his character, molded it, shifted it, and sneakily created a new character that retains Naruto's own attributes and yet forges a new one above it.
Temari was also an interesting character choice, considering the group of people that could be paired up with Naruto. Understanding his postition when he left Konoha is vital and I think you've considered that choice carefully by choosing Temari above the rest. Sakura obviously wouldn't be the ideal choice, nor would Hinata as he wasn't aware of her affection and otherwise wouldn't have had a possible means of meeting each other anyway. But considering Temari, her character development is interesting; much like Naruto, retaining her original characteristics but becoming more different as time passes, eventually having fragments of both old and new personalities combining to form your Temari.
Noted that the other characters such as the Akatsuki duo and Kabuto are obvious changes to the canon, but within your Narutoverse as some call it, it works out quite well; agreeing with the idea that S-class criminals can be people too and Itachi cooking may be so absurd, so uncharacteristic, but otherwise makes him human too.
Each chapter was a reasonable length, short enough not to arouse boredom, but long enough to convey everything of that moment. The last chapter was good to the point, forcing out of both Naruto and Szark their strong points and weak points; portraying Szark not to be overpowered and Naruto being super-powerful, but at an enormous cost. It's also noted that despite the fact that Naruto can beat most people in a battle, his power is shielded by even stronger opponents, like Itachi and Kisame.
I know I'm rambling, and that this review is damn late considering its size, but this particular story warrants it. Often you find many stories out there that rush plots, create random plot-devices and to be truthful it wasn't lost here, but quick and concise, yet slow and logical, Never Cut Twice is a story to behold, and has been by many.

nice
