Oh.
I- I don't know what to say. This was just amazing.

Beautifully done. It's slow, sets it's own pace and is perfectly and almost indescribably in character. Those last two lines nearly blew me away. It made me consider Sasuke the boy, instead of Uchiha Sasuke.

Really good.

good job XD

Fantastic. This perfectly describes Sasuke right after he left Konoha.

an annoying dry lump has formed in my throat... great one shot!

This is the most accurately captured Sasuke I've seen all year. Maybe out of all the fanfics I've read, too.

I love it so much.

This will forever be one of my favourite fanfics. You have a beautiful way of writing. Poetic and sad. I feel Sasuke's emotions! His hate and pain and angst and sadness, but most of all i feel his love. His love that he thinks betrays him as he think he is not supposed to love at all. His heart that wishes everything could have been different. His heart, after all that he has been through, all the pain he has felt, and all the grief he has known, still beats strong with human muscle, blood and feeling. A tiny part of that heart, not yet blackened with life, claims them with the last bit of his soul. A soulmate. A brother. If the rest of his jaded heart didn't yearn for Itachi's blood. And each pump of poison through his veins didn't take him one step closer to his invitable future. And the ghosts of his past didn't urge him on with every step.

I think deep down, naruto and sakura always knew they where his.
And i think deep down, they always knew how the future would end.
And i think deep, deep down, they always heard his not so blackened heart, pump his not so blackened blood, through his not so blackened veins.

Sorry i'm not much of a a writer I was just trying to convey how this fic made me feel about sasuke. And boy did it make me feel! I admit to being slightly teary towards the end of the fic. I just want to say thank you for writing this beautiful fanfiction that really made me stop and think.

the parts about sakura seem like excuses to stick her in there, cuz frankly she was quite useless back then and there was never once the slightest implication that sasuke would have liked to have bothered. i like the parts with kakashi the best in this.

I know that I'm reading this way too late, and that you wrote this with a different image of Sasuke in mind that the one we have now but...

I've wanted Sasuke to just die or something for more than a year, but this... This made me understand, in a way. This is simply beatiful and painful and everything that Sasuke is. You almost made me cry for a character that I used to despise. I can't anymore.

Thank you for sharing.

Man, that was spectacular. Probably the best view of Sasuke's thoughts in Sound that I've ever read. 100/10

This is one of those times that it sucks that blood is thicker.

Lemmie just say, that I hate Sasuke. I just wanna scream to him, "Get over yourself! Be happy!"

And you made me love him. That's what a good writer does,they change your opinion, present another perspective.

i loved how you made Sasuke possessive of Sakura and Naruto. The truth is Team Seven belongs to each other, so I'm glad some else noted it.

The formating also added nicely to the flow of the story. I think attention to details like that is a great trait for writers to have.

I really enjoyed this. I love Team Seven fics and this is a great one.

On a small note, I was listening to Shadow from the Ico Soundtrack and I think it really fit the mood. Give it a listen if you like (it's not very long).

Very deep and wonderful. You have done a brilliant job on this. This was an amazing read.
