I'll be frank here; You should have quit whilst you were ahead. The plot is, being honest with you, horrible. I love Garden, but this, I personally feel, butchered the entire story for me. Sakura is the side effect of some mythical Hyuuga who died and was resurrected? Naruto is actually Minato? Ugh.. It's horrid man. You're excellent at emotive writing, you could seriously give most authors a good run for their money. But plot? I'm sorry to say I hated it. I loved your portrayal of characters. But as I've already said.. I hated the plot. It just isn't my cup of tea I suppose. Anyway, don't let my review get you down, it was mainly my own opinion. Ja Ne!

I cried like a girl and I still don't understand what was going on. D:

But that's okay, it's cool.

You make me feel so depressed, damnit. Now I'm crying again.

You made me cry again, **. D:< So Sakura is Naruto's Mother...?

I cried, you bastard. I cried.

While your writing is skilled and you evoke emotions in the reader beautifully your plot from the beginning is an epic fail. Ultimately the very basis of the plot is failure, as she's shown herself willing to kill highly placed council members there is no reason for her to obey the law at all when she can simply kill anyone in who continues to insist on Naruto's imprisonment. Laws only exist through enforcement and she is in position to flatten anyone who speaks against her on her enforcement of the law. She could kill the entire council and abolish all their laws as easily as she assassinated the trio of plotters.

Very nice. I loved it.

trippy

this is the most sad story ı have ever read
i think i can't get rid of this sadness 2 or 3 days

So... wait... Sakura is Setsuka... or rather, Setsuka is Sakura... And Naruto is Minato, or rather Minato is Naruto...

This is the most intelligent response I can formulate:

Bwuh?

I'll admit it; as I was reading that final Goodnight between the two, it was all I could do to keep from bawling like a baby.

The blond man, who couldn’t possibly be older than thirty, grinned brightly. "My name is Deidara, Deidara of the ‘Dawn’, yeah!"

Do-wha-what-WHAT!?!?!?!?

For all my knowledge and imagination, my brain still fails to comprehend a plausible way Sakura can be Setsuka.

While it was true that this man belonged to the ‘Dawn’ sect of the Guards, they were also known by another, more infamous name.

The Akatsuki will not end. We will continue to exist in the Shadows. We are the dawn, and forever will be.

He was not Kumano any longer. He was now Hidan, the San of the Akatsuki.

My reactions were thus:

Wroo?

Akatsuki has the backing of the Emperor!?

Hidan, preaching Shinto? -dies laughing at the superb IRONY-

I know from whence Sakura's blood flows, or at least I think.

Somehow, I feel Sakura is doing Naruto far more harm than good.
