your characterization of Sakura is dead-on
i love this story

I read this a long time ago, and i guess I just never got around to reviewing it. You write extremely well. The sentences, short and almost choppy, work perfectly for this fic.

Love the idea. Sakura growing up with her three suns and everyone else she loves in different ways, it's a wonderful perspective. I like sakura a lot the way you write her, mature, strong, and able to look back on her past without getting lost in it. And then everyone else's relationships, naruto and sasuke, tsunade and jiraiya, and kakashi...even though you only spent about one sentence on each of them, you still managed to capture them perfectly.

Love the repetition at the end, and her determination to prove that history will not repeat itself.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow. This is really powerfully-written. Though, I got confused with the many analysises (sp?) Sakura was using while she describes the many people she loves, but it works really well with this style of writing. I love how you've included everyone that touched her life, even for a little, and wrapped it so nicely in this story. The ending is perfect too. Ah, I want to keyboard-mash considering how well-done this oneshot is but I've decided against it. So excuse me for this incoherent review. Nice job! ^^

That was a great pice; the kind of work that leaves you satisfied and pleased when you finish it.

I liked the way you represented those three as "suns" in Sakura's mind-world, and that really made sense to me. I also appreciated your going-away from the overdone cliché "Tsunade is Sakura and Oro is Sasuke and Jiraiya has been turned into Naruto, yeah!". You show a much-needed piece of Sakura's independence and shows that Team 7 is NOT just a reincarnation of the sannin and are their own people; make their own choices.

Your works are awesome..

Really deep.. Really moving.. Your works are jewels above the others in this site.. I can understand your decision of leaving fan fiction to be a professional writer.. And may I say, I think you are going to be a great one! If not greater than you are now..

Just keep writing..

wow that is amazing for one this was a story i couldnt stop reading

Angsty. Love it!

A wonderfully fresh perspective on a character much maligned on this website.

if i needed to tell anyone why i liked naruto, i would rec them to his fic.

fantastic.

Wow.
That's common right?
Everyone saying
"YAY! It's so cool how Naruto is like Jiraiya, Sakura is Tsunade and Sasuke is Orochimaru"
But it's not. Because they're not. That really annoys me :)
Well I won't go into to detail becasue this is a review not a ranting page (which I tend to do often).
So I'll just leave you with kudos and a thanks for writing this :)

Wow. This was extremely deep and yet so easily understandable... You wound so many different points together into a surprisingly short chapter... It was great.

This story had quite a few sub-plots running through it, and the only one that I felt was under-developed was the "history repeats itself" one. I'm not quite sure why, though. You mention it several times throughout the story. You finished it up with that theme. For some reason it just felt like it was an after-thought. Nevertheless, even such an "afterthought" was well written. Good job. (And if you're annoyed at all the e-mails fanfiction is sending oyu because SOMEONE is reviewing everything at once... don't worry, this is that last one.)

Just beautiful. As much as I adored the stuff about Naruto and Sasuke and how they aren't fated to follow the path of the Sannin (and why should they? I'm sure theyll surpass them), it was the bit about Ino that rang the truest. Because every little girl has had a friendship like that. Serious kudos on this. I'm in awe.

This is one of the best Naruto fics I've read. I love the way you've captured Sakura's feelings, and the relationships between her and the other shinobi. Straight onto my favourites list!

This is SUCH a good story! I particularly liked the end! I so wish I could write like you!
