I loved this fic! The action and dialogue are excellent, and the overall quality of the story is much higher than 99.8% of stuff on this site.

Just finished reading your story. I know it has been completed for a long time now, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed reading it.

I love you and this story.

Brilliant.
Really, if they made the filler arc like this, I'd still be watching.

I never thought I'l pull through reading until the end, but I did. Haha, it hooked me up until the last part and made me feel a little bit surprised at how some events had turned out.

Can I hope for a sequel? :]

Wow, this is a great story! You don't have too many boring step-by-step fight scenes, and the adventure is intense enough to keep my interest. I doubt I'll reread this though, as it takes such a long time to read. I do hope that you posted a sequel.

Good Lord. Had the filler arc been anything like this, I'd probably still be watching.

Excellent work..

great story wish there was more on the relationship side but deffinatly good.

this is an awesome story with a very original and captivating plot line
i don't know if you've written i sequel, however, i hope that if you haven't, that you do.
if you have written one, then i hope you update soon

NO! IT'S OVER!

Hinata-chan! Why are you so mean?

Naruto! Why are you such an idiot? Seal all the ramen in a scroll!

Wow.

Uh. Holy crap.

This story was, pretty much, epic. It was recommended to me by the reviewer below, and while I was suspicious that it was a yaoi trap or something, I was pleased to see that I was wrong.

As has been said no doubt dozens of times, you did a great job of keeping track of all the little storylines and details strung throughout the story. Things I'd forgotten about eight chapters ago suddenly came slamming back into my face, leaving me shocked and impressed.

You also did an awesome job of jerking me around – especially with the Kaida and Cloud Village arc. I honestly didn't suspect a thing.

The most impressive thing you did, though, was make me not hate Sakura. I avoid stories with her as the main character like the plague; mostly because she's pretty much an annoying/mean fangirl who's always right.

For me, the silly errors were easily overlooked, and didn't matter at all in the broad scheme of things. If you were getting this thing published it'd be a different story, but hell, if you don't make a few dozen mistakes in a story this size, well. You're inhuman.

As a final note, I have to say that I learned so much from you and this story, and am even reevaluating the way I write. I'm in disbelief at the too-few reviews (seriously, there should be at the LEAST 3k), but unfortunately, I can't do much about it except add this fic to my favs and hope others find and read it.

It was a pleasure reading C:

I want to start by saying that I greatly enjoyed reading your story. It is one of the most realistic and creative around, and sadly underrated -- mostly likely because of its lack of romance. I loved your characterizations, and even your original characters fit very well into the world.

However, I really wish you'd read over what you've written, or get a beta. It's not that there's much of a problem with your base grammar, it's that the text is riddled with silly errors like repeated or missed words and to/too/two mix-ups. There's no reason for that, really. It's not a huge problem, but a story of this quality doesn't need to be bogged down by such ridiculous errors.

Also, I THOUGHT that only males could be referred to by -kun, but I could be wrong. Throughout the story, characters refer to a couple of females as -kun, and it threw me off. I'm no expert on such things, though.

My biggest issue was the really dissatisfying ending. If there were a sequel, it wouldn't be a big deal, but as there does not seem to be, it's a poor literary ending. You literally do not even resolve the Sannin battle. I mean, it's not the worst ending in the world, and I see what you are going for, but for a story that epic ... it's weak-sauce.


Despite all of that, this is one of the best, arguably the best, in my opinion, stories floating around in the Naruto section of this website.

Thanks for sharing such a well-written story with the innernets.

Oh. My. God. This story just blew my mind. I have no words for just how incredible it is. I like Anko's involvement, and the character developments, and how everything converged at the end. Kudos! And I hope I'll see more of your work soon!

I read this story over a period of a couple of days and it was thoroughly entertaining! I loved every moment of it. And I wanted to complement you on your ability to make the characters grow but not in a "unrealistic" (not that anything in Naruto is realistic) manner. Naruto and Sakura grew in many ways in this fic but not to some crazy level where suddenly they are stronger than everyone and they take over the world. Those fics annoy me to death and there are far too many of them here. Also the characters that you brought into the story had purpose and they stayed in character too! That was a major bonus to the story. One last thing then I'll stop, but I wanted to say that my favorite part of the story was how you used Mitarashi Anko. She is one of my favorite characters and a lot of the time she is gerneralized and pushed to the side but you really used her as an actual person. That really made me happy! Anyway, I'm done, I just wanted to say awesome job and I loved every bit of it!
