excellent fic dealing with the aftermatch. so well written it can be condidered canon.

I like this. It's a little bit confusing to read, but he is supposed to be confused so it works. There are a couple of typos and such, but overall, it's legible. I enjoyed the characterisation in this and the fact that it could fit into canon. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful.

This is sharp, and painful, and very, very well-written.

Hmm, maybe it seems weird that I'm reviewing this two years after it's been published... At any rate, I thought it was pretty good, although some of the dialogue was slightly difficult to believe.

Rather disturbing and incredibly original.
Good stuff.

That was awesome. Loved the way how you managed to tie everything in.

I'm thoroughly impressed.

Even though it is clear you wrote this when the arc wasn't quite completed (ie Rin's status,) it's still very impressive and comprehensible, showing Kakashi is, in fact, still a child.

I'm also really digging the way Obito-in-the-head ties in to everything.

Bravo! ^_^

I read this fic... well, a long while ago, but I never reviewed. I think the sheer immensity of it gave me pause and made me want to hide under a rock until I could think of suitable praise to offer up a la sacrificial lamb.

'(Think of it as an eye for an eye, if it bothers you so much.)'

That line was probably my favorite, because... I mean... OW. OW. OW. OW. I loved the spiral descent into insanity, and how it all comes back to the few things in his life that's made him who he is. I love how you wrote it, how you phrased every little sentence, and how you managed to make it seem like Kakashi was stuck under a magnifying glass and a spotlight without ever writing it in as many words. You made his alienation truly real (giving him low level missions until he's trustworthy? Another ouch.) And taking his mask off made me wince, because... well. Ow. (Am I being redundant yet? XD)

I think ffdotnet ate one of your spaces, 'He hasnever been a "we." He works best alone, needing no one' there. It's so annoying when it does that, argh.

This fic is a very easy read, which is part of the reason I adore it so. It doesn't make me stop, pause, puzzle things out or go back to see if I've read anything incorrectly. It flows with the fluid grace of ... something fluid and graceful. (Sorry, I was sounding poetically pretentious, I had to break the mood. XD)

And, seeing as how my feelings towards Kakashific in the Naruto fandom have not lately extended beyond, "STOP FLOGGING THE DEAD OBITO ALREADY!", the fact that I could read and enjoy this fic (to bits and pieces, even!) twice proves that it is in fact truly great.

Okay. I'm done fangirling. Great story~!

This is gorgeous; it addresses a point left woefully untold by canon, and it does so very well. On top of that it captures the breakdown in Kakashi's mind brilliantly. (And writing the inside of his head can be *hard*.) My only possible criticism would be that it's not clear at first that Rin is dead as well, and that makes things a little awkward. I'd also say that sometimes it gets difficult to follow the conversation of the voices in Kakashi's head, but that may be intentional.

i loved the funky style...it was a bit disjointed in feeling, which lends the perfect atmosphere to the story, given how kakashi must be feeling. this was my favorite part:

"Tell us how you failed your teammates, your sensei, your mission, your home." In the left half of his vision, he can see faces staring at him, condemning him with their eyes.

"Tell us." Father, disemboweled before their family shrine.

"Tell us." Obito, a mangled, desecrated, eyeless corpse.

"Tell us." Rin, smiling- and that is perhaps the most horrific thing of all.

oh man, how heart-wrenching is that? all in all, beautifully done.

I thought this was a great one-shot, completely off the rails by the last quarter and a really great premise for looking into Kakashi as he has to face the people who didn't care about Obito but care about the eye in his face. (I loved the quasi-Itachi homicidal bits in there... you sure can try to kill them all Kakashi!) The parts where Kakashi and Obito are talking inside his head are really well done and I loved the fact that he knows he's going crazy and doesn't much care - just treats it like one more part of shinobi life.

Only query - Rin survives that mission... so why is she dead all of a sudden?

Other than that, loved it and it went on my faves.

sna

Very well done!
Poor Kakashi... I'd say more, but I'm not really thinking very clearly right at the moment. *sobs*
I hope to see more Kakashi Gaiden fics from you some day! That part of Naruto ate my brain too =D

"He can handle being crazy; it happens to perfectly respectable ninja all the time."

Best. Line. Ever.

This is so well done - brutal and honest - and the transition from young to old Kakashi makes perfect sense in this context.

Ouch. That was ... GREAT!
