Thanks for the update, I really liked the introspective Yondy scene. I hope your RL improves soon.

Aw >< Horrible real life coming up. Even so this chapter was quite sweet in a way.

you hurt yondy-poos and it broke my heart. my achey breaky heart.
take whatever time needed to write the next chappy and i hope the patches of horrible real life smooth out. don't lose faith m'boy!

I feel like this chapter filled the gap inside of Arashi -- it tied up a lot of loose ends that needed attending. And I'm glad he's okay now!

omg that was the best story i have ever read. i laughed so much and could barely contain it. i love how you wrote naruto, ive never read a story that kep the child like essence when using a kid in a story. very impressive. but i didnt like that you had arashi harmed. that was very mean, you had me on the edge of my seat and i nearly had tears coming out of my eyes! but all in all it was a great story!

no don't hate your writing! i find myself quite liking it. i hope that you'll keep up the good work and update soon!

Wow, young Naru is adorable! I've given myself a sore throat from all the "squee!"'s. Aw, this just makes me want to melt...

I totally loved this chapter, I thought it may have been one of your best yet. I was almost tearing up there at the very end- well, okay, I WAS tearing up. but you wrote it so poignantly, (sp?) that it couldnt be helped! a lovely, chapter, really- please dont hate your writing, its excellenr!

ah little naruto , your write his uber cute.i love it
please continue

I really love this story! But I have a question; how old is Naruto supposed to be? You might have mentioned it earlier, and I just didn't pay attention, but could you answer it anyway please? Thank you! :) Please update soon!

It's soo sweet!! I absolutely adore this chapter!!

that super skilled ans awsomely handsome ninja HAS to be Arashi, LOL!

Thank you for explaining what's going on with your writing and inspiration. This is the type of piece that I think I have been able to enjoy because you take your efforts so seriously... and really, the way this last arc has come about it seems like Life Savers is slowly moving into a stage where things become more sinister.

The story could easily be a reflection of how more serious issues come to light just as in the main series, and you are working your way through this growth. One of the biggest points on this for me was when Minato went back to thinking about the foxes and realized Kyuubi's real intent. That literally drop kicked all of the "aww" factor I was getting from that scene and woke me up to the changes.

Hi there! Aww.. don't beat yourself up! You've been doing a wonderful job! It's been 5 months since ch. 20 and I really have to say (write) that the cohesiveness and direction of ch. 21 is smooth. Meaning, that-- yes, it's been a while but it seems like your writing flows from one chapter to another. Eventhough they are "one shots". You're great! Keep up the good work and I'm sticking to this story to the end!! Though, I have to be selfish, I hope this continues forever... :)

*squeals* Laughing Itachi! How cute... Hahahahaha... I couldn't imagine a red faced Sasuke. I don't think we've even seen it on the anime! This is rich! ahahahahaha... I love this chapter!
