It's absolutely lovely.

These lines didn't quite make sense to me, though (well, the first more than the second):

"He's saving the last shred of self left to the gutted body lying there in a puddle of blood and severed intestines on the stone floor. The boy's most treasured possessions."

The boy's most treasured possessions are his intestines? O_o

Thank you for sharing!

It's a little sad...But I like it. Great job.

dark, disturbing, sorrowful, but still leaves an impact that makes it good.

A good realistic warped future in a solid work.

angsty, deep and VERY emotive...

For anyone who doesnt know why Kakashi took Sasuke's Sharingans out, it's because anyone else who got their hands on it would be a potential danger to the villages and Kakashi obviously didn't want that. Sharingan is powerful, people have been trying to get their hands on it for ages. Kakasi would know this best of all, since he didn't inherit his. Anyway, this was a very angsty, very well thought out story, I could tell that you thought about what the Sound mission would turn out like, as we all have. Alternate endings are unavoidable at this point. Some people simply aren't happy with the way things have or may turn out. You obviously hope that it will be angsty, because it can't all turn out good in the end. And you're right. It should be sad, and it should be gruesome because something has to give with Team 7. At least, I think so. Loved it. Hope you write more Team 7 angst again soon.

Ja'ne.

Morbid, yes, but very good. I'm a little confused as to why Kakashi would remove Sasuke's eyes, but... ::shrugs::

it was good. i liked how you painted the sroundings when kakashies killed saska. but all in all it was kinda morbid

ohkay...
lol. Yeah, that was morbid alright. I..tried not to use my imagination. half worked...stil imagined orochimaru digging out sasuke's eyeballs.. O_o and trying not to puke... lol. why am i laughing after reading a morbid story?! Sheesh, okay, found a second condition.. sigh..

... *is speechless and kind of twitching*

Well then. Nicely put together, and I hate to say it, but Sasuke WILL probably end up prematurely dead on account of his current situation and the (seemingly) highly morbid manga-ka that controls that world he's living in.

I can't picture dear ol' Kakashi-san crazy, though. At this point he's too messed up to actually crack. And somehow, I don't think you get to be a ninja if you'll crack, no matter how much you see or how much you lose.

I still liked it though, and I definately loved the "protector" theme between Kakashi and Naruto.

...

So I randomly went on you LJ, and, and, JAPAN! You're probably in Japan right now. I'm INSANELY jelous.

*wants to travel*

*especially to Japan*

*would like to visit Canada too*

*and a whole bunch of nifty little islands on varius locations throughout the globe*

But yeah. Really jelous.

I'm still young though. People tell me I'll have time to travel when I'm older. I want to be stonger by then, so I'll be able to walk all over the land. And... I'll write. I love to write.

Er... not that you... care...

I should stop rambling so much. It's funny, because I never talk this much. My voice appears when I write. And thusly I'm STILL rambling. Yeah. Gotta stop.

Well, dewa, keep writing, and have fun in JAPAN! ^_^

that is some of the best writing i have ever read

Great story! I am liking Sasuke less and less, so reading about his gruesome death once or twice doesn't hurt. Though I am not entirely sure what Orochimaru decided to do with him. Fun with Sasuke blood? Weirdsex fun with Sasuke blood? Explosive sex? Well, he died, I guess.

But poor Kakashi. I don't want him to be koo-koo :'(

OMG...that was so Sad...Great story...

And the hideous cycle moves forward. An amazingly powerful story.

Well. Ouch. Yeah, "ouch" pretty much sums it up. It took me awhile to figure out that the first POV was Kakashi's and not Sasuke himself, but that could just as easily be my bumbling obliviousness as a problem with the narrative.

Reading this also kind of made my eyes hurt, and I wanted to cover them up with my hands so nobody could take them away.
