That was really depressing, though it did raise a good point. Loved it.

Wow this was incredibly touching and added a lot of reality to the series. Your writing is amazing.

I just found this little series in another authors favorites, and I'm really glad I did! This is one of the best written Naruto and Neji pairings I've read, and I've enjoyed their pairing since the Chuunin exam fight...Anyway, just wanted to let you know that people still see/love your stuff. I normally don't read what look like one shots, but Risk was so good I had to go see what other ones you'd written. Have you written anything else in this series that didn't get posted on dear old FF? I'd love to read more of your stuff! If you are, by chance, still writing in this series, I'd love to see more of what was going on around the same time as Risk, or possibly what happened when Naruto made Hokage...since we all know he will! Thanks!

"The acceptance in his voice was painful to hear from one who had spent his entire existence fighting back."

Just... ouch. I'm so glad you wrote this *after* Naruto got Makoto and Akemi. It makes their presence even more treasured. You flesh out the details of these characters so f'in well. You drag me back into the Naruto fandom... so evil.

:/
So sad and touching, I loved how you showed Naruto's disappointment.

poor naruto- bit of a harsh blow for someone who never had a family and always wanted one! I can really feel for him..the poor guy! great writing, great fic! :)

Aw... it's so sad that Naruto can't have children.

However, I will commend you with this novel concept of the Kyuubi leaking to /corrupting Naruto's partners and his children.

I know that you are pushing for the Naruto/Neji ship. However, if he cannot be with a girl without fear of tainting her, then will Neji convince him otherwise. Oh well, I suppose that either their relationship will remain platonic, or Neji and Naruto will have an idealized relationship where sex doesn't matter and companionship, comfort and love will be enough.

So, great work Tonko-chan! You have a few words sticking together like "reallythekid". However, I think it is more formatting then your own fault. Also, I would recommend a rating of PG13 or PG since there is talk of sexuality (yep, that's the purist in me talking ^_^)
