Great job at taking such a time-worn premise and breathing life into it. Incredibly written, there's not one superfluous sentence.

I'm not too sure what to make of this, but it was definitely on the creepy side. Itachi as a cold, ruthless killer just doesn't fit anymore, given all the canon events, but you still portray twisted Itachi extremely well.

Thanks for sharing.

I read this after I just finished rereading the Itachi and Sasuke fight (the final one...sniffle) and I must say, I love your Itachi. I love him all the time, but you portray him very twisted..._

I really do think that the final fight ended on itachi's terms...and not because Sasuke stabbed/kirin-ed/attacked him...may he rest in (relative) peace.

How on earth did you make me see Itachi in...well, not exactly a positive light...but as a protagonist! (For the protagonist does not always have to be good, just have to want him to succeed.) I almost felt sorry for him...NO! Okay, NO! He's an evil, twisted genius, you are not allowed to feel sorry for him, he needs to crawl into a hole and die! Absolutely no feeling sorry!

So, anyway, you're a genius, have a cookie.

Good story

Wow. I happened to stumble this very well written piece of yours and it's great! Even though you hate Itachi that is, but the way you potray his character was so Itachi-like. *two thumbs up!*

you truly hate itachi, even after writing this?

aw, sad. Itachi's so evil...but so cute.

Last sentence was so poignant...

O: gasp... though you hate itachi, that was a good fic :D

Guh. Amazing. The most convincing portrayal of Itachi I have ever read. It's so real that I could smell the blood on his uniform. Well done for actually managing to get into his head, and in such a convincing way.

I am awed.

Great character study, the beginning was slow but once it got going, was great

Itachi is a strange character, and I expect that this is how he would feel. As expected, lovely.

Haunting and amazing. Excellent writing.

Great fic! Really well-written, and you did a great job of keeping Itachi in-character.
