Please--update. It's an awesome fanfiction, I'll add it to my favorites the moment I log in. I beg of you. *__*

Hello!

okay, so a coupla months ago, i started reading this fic. then i stopped for ages, cos i didn't see anything particularly special. the other day i started reading it again and now i am TOTALLY FREAKING ADDICTED! lol. so i thought i would say, keep up the good work, Naruto/Hinata rox, you are a really good writer and please upd8 soon! :D:D:D

Nicely done. I think you did a wonderful job with Naruto and Hinata's relationship. I think it would take a lot of time for him to realize his feelings for her. Some stories have him immediately falling in love with her and I do not think that would be realistic. After all, he is about as sharp as a bowling ball. One more thing, I have noticed several times you typed defiantly when I think you were meaning definately. If you need a beta, I offer my services. I am not good at writing but I am very good at proofing others work. Best of luck to you, I hope you finish this story it is too good to leave incomplete.

AYAH YOU NEED TO UPDATE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOr LIKE EVA NOW. *sniffles* i dont review much but this is a good story that i want to continue!

This is such an awesome story! =D I started and finished it in one day, actually staying up until 4 AM to finish what you have written so far. I got drawn into it I suppose xD Well I love this story and I hope to see update soon! Keep up the great work!

No worries about dull chapters. I prefer scenarios be cleanly written and wrapped up, rather than seeing the author just keep barreling along with the "story" and neglecting proper writing process.

Anyway, you've written a great story. I'll be waiting for the next chapter!

Pity Naruto wasn't able to keep Onpa down. But his Kyuubi-mode fight was really satisfying. He might not be dead, but seeing Naruto lay the smack down on him was wonderful.

Oh, Sakura has a moment of clarity. I liked the reference to how the others manage to fight even beyond the point where their bodies give out. That was a great effort on her part.

Great fight. Naruto's being Naruto, obviously, but it's good to see the other three being in sync with each other. I'm glad Hinata got a moment in the spotlight. She can really pack a wallop when she puts her mind to it.

Aw ... so fluffy. I can't really say whether they're really OOC or not, because I was so busy smiling.

Oh, I forgot to mention in the last chapter review ... I don't think the children of the Leaf know that the Yondaime Hokage defeated Kyuubi by sealing it into a newborn child. Otherwise, I think they'd have an inkling that one kid of their age has to hold the Kyuubi.

Oh, that was beautiful. I'm glad Naruto opened up and found a shoulder to cry on. It must be hard to smile all the time. I also liked that Naruto had the sense to tell Hinata about the Kyuubi ... in too many stories, he just angsts about without just trying to trust his friends with his secret.

Ah, that was interesting. I'm very curious how they'll act towards each other now. It's very, very hard to imagine a self-conscious Naruto, especially with him knowing exactly how painful it is to have unreciprocated feelings. But hopefully Naruto will recognize, at the very least, Hinata is one of the very few people out there who respect and understand him to that extent.

A Gama-chan plushie! That's too cute =). And good ol' Shikamaru, getting the job done even while he's relaxing (well, not that it was planned, but still ...). Anyway, I like how you're taking the time to explore the characters, and show us how they interact with each other.

Ah, I'd have expected Shikamaru to be more subtle in pursuing their investigation at the bar. If this town was on Tsunade's dossier as being close to the Sound lair, the bar could be some sort of local hangout. Eventually, word would get back to the Sound that a group of kids was looking for Soin. And they went in as kids, without henge to age and disguise themselves.

But anyway, I loved this chapter. If this is what you can filler, I'll take more of it! I like how Hinata really sees Naruto for his strength of character.

Risa is so sweet! It's nice how she's so grandmotherly to Naruto. I love the scene at the inn; Naruto does really have a charm all of his own -- he just doesn't know it! And that's probably why it works too =).

The group of three powerful ninjas was interesting too. I wonder how they'll tie to the story? They're not the Akatsuki, are they? Or are they original characters?
