This is very creative; I like how you put all the characters into different situations (and how you're giving Tenten the importance she never receives in the show) and how you thought the whole story out. I'll be waiting for your next installment :)

I like how you focus on the people Naruto left behind, and not just Naruto and Sasuke. And Lee is just to awesome for words.

I could actually see this happening!
=^_^=
I like it! It's different!

O yay another good story today. I like your story and keep up the good work because I'm looking forward to the next chappie.

T^T You've just taken advantage of my delicate fragile poor heart. I feel so terrible for Naruto. It's the first time I've seen him have to kill anyone against his will,and for the sake of Sasuke, who is just like, Hardy-har-har, Tu madre!! when Naruto is suffering all for him. It makes me sad that this story is so IC that Sasuke really might've done something like that if Naruto followed him.

I'm mega depressed right now...

But this story is great! ORIGINAL, and supa-angsty. Too bad I'm the Queen of Fluff, otherwise I wouldn't have an ache in my heart.

Sayonara...perhaps when I'm older. XD

Amused Statement: Oh that Lee. So loveable, for a meatbag, that is.

Stern Suggestion: I do hope, though, that the next chapter is fast in coming.

Unneccessary Addendum: For you sake.

Kai~

Your Naruto is irrepressible and wonderful, your Jiraiya impressively subtly tragic, Tsunade and Temari make interesting doubles-of-a-sort as Kazekage and Hokage, your Kabuto actually has a character, which makes him immediately better than any Kabuto I've seen before (no-one seems to like him, for all the character potential that's there) but it was at this point:

"...To the people who lived in the Village of the Hidden Sand, Rock Lee was at first seen as a bit of a lark. They watched as he trained in the midday sun with slight concern, wondering if this lanky, fuzzy-eyebrowed boy from Leaf might be a few grains short of a beach..."

that my grin just blossomed and I'm pretty sure I let out something that resembled a fangirlish squeal. You write the odd, prickly, not-sure-we-get-this-but-what-the-hell friendship between Gaara and Lee so, so well.
.
Keep up the awesome work!

I wonder how much Naruto's presence have changed Orochinmaru and Kabuto since Naruto has a way to change people and yes both Orochimaru and Kabuto will change by Naruto's influence and long you are with Naruto,the easier you change(Ex-Sasuke). Orochimaru will be impressed
by Naruto's true powers which is his willpower and raw potential. That is why Naruto is Sasuke's rival not the Kyuubi power Naruto has and with his rivality with Naruto and his training with Orochimaru,I suspect Sasuke will be powerful and skilled enough to kill Itachi.

ACK! Hurry and write more! I loved your description of the chuunin vest. ^^

i REALLY like this story!! You have used a plot that i have seen no ine use before!! You gave Naruto a curse seal and then he keeps and then sum stuff happens!! I read one story where he ogt a curse seal but it was removed, nad it never even activated. PF! What a stupid idea to remove it!! Your idea is much better please update soon!

yes! finally! ive been waiting for a new chapter! please update soon!...well if u cant soon, just please update!

You are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you for updating! I've been waiting soo long (big anime stlye waterfall tears). Thanks. Later!*

This is a great fic. I like the idea of Naruto chacing after Sasuke, that's totally something he would do too. I hope Orochimaru doesn't break him, or Naruto manages to beat some sence into Sasuke. Either way, I hope you update soon!

Hugs and kisses - The Spore **

Ano sa, ano sa, please update soon, 'kay? Oh, an' one more thing... Is Orochimaru going to... you know... USE Naruto? Because that would take the story to a whole nother level, but I don't care what you decide as long as it's good. Keep up the good work!

Well. I am NEVER reading this again. But Kami-sama it was a good story! You should update for those who are going to read, i won't, Sasuke is ** me off. I hate when he gets all submissive and **-like. ** Orochimaru, and i just know Itachi is going to pop up somewhere. ** him too. Its a good story, i never actually thought of Naruto following Sasuke, good plot. Everyone is more or less IC but i still loath Sasuke's behavior. Anyways well done, your a good writer, but now i have to go read a Sasuke and Naruto lovey fic just to make up for my hating Sasuke and feeling for poor Naru-chan. ^__^ Well done, though i hate it.
