Omg I felt totally mindblown at the last part, then remembered you mentioned it wasn't real in the first sentence, so now I feel slightly embarrassed and all.

This was a very good fic, the characterization, the flow, the dialogue was very well written. And most of all it's so realistic and engrossing that suddenly in the end you get shocked because you remember everything was just imagined.

Great job!

I completely forgot that this wasn't real until the last line. You sucked me in and wrapped me up in the lovely writing and fascinating characterization. This is quite sad and brilliant. You took an old concept and made me want to read it. Thank you for sharing this!

While reading this, I totally forgot that the scenes are just Sakuras dream of an ideal future and not real.I forgot about the first line, so the last line opened my eyes and made me feel embarrassed, because I realized I was tempted and taken in by a future, which essentially didnt exist and would never happen. So even tough I would have liked a stronger contrast between this ideal future and the real future, especially if you mention a time years later, you brought your point across quite nicely and made me relate to Sakuras dreams and how shes so easily seduced by them. You manipulated me, Its admirable.

Sadly the basic idea of this one-shot, that Everything will be alright in the end, has already been done many times and isnt very interesting to me anymore.

Then I agree on one hand with Amruns opinion about Narutos,Sasukes and especially Sais characterization ( the part with the expressions was great). On the other hand I think that Sakura is too passive, not in an not fightingway, because she does the exactly right and logical thing, when she saves her energy to help for later, but more in an emotional way. She remains stationary and a little statistic.

All in all this one-shot seems ordinary, but sets itself apart trough an interesting and insightful twist.

Thank you for your good work

This one-shot was a little strange, but I enjoyed it. Naruto's characterization was bland and Sasuke's didn't ring authentic to me personally. On the other hand, Sakura and especially Sai were excellent. I love that there is no magical get-better, and the "no default expression" bit was insightful. Thanks for sharing.

I loved the feelings it gave but I've got to be honest: I didn't get the last line and till the end I didn't understand what you wanted to point out.

Perhaps Yamato was the one who killed Itachi? Several sacrificial techniques have been shown throughout the series.

Anyway, I love how quietly sad and tragic this is because it's only a dream and the little moments that provide so much insight.

Wow 0_0 that was amazing... you've really captured the quad-angle that is team 7. I liked how you focused on each relationship Sakura has with the boys. This is the best one-shot I've ever read. *faves*

wow! This was so wonderfully well written and the characterization done so well, I'm still in shock lol

Oh, and fyi, out of all the "readjustment after Sasuke returns to Konoha" fics I have ever read (which amount to a sizable number) this was definitely one of the best, and probably the most realistic too.

I simply love the way you write, and you have this really subtle wisdom in your words that makes them so fantastic lol. Okay, enough raving, im off to visit your other stories ;)

Keep it up!

oh, huh. this was so sad, i kept leaving to go do something else, in a sort of unconscious way. and then by the time i got to the end, id forgotten that it was all just a wish. and here id thought id just read something nice.

kudos, for making me feel sad. its been a long time since ive read anything that could do that c:

This is breathtaking. Very beautiful.

I love it. It was... gorgeous. ...Can I please be allowed to pretend the last line doesn't exist? :)

This was beautiful.

This was phenomenal.

And the last line made it heart-breaking.

Thank you for this.

Wow! This story is just wow... It made me feel for Sai, really feel for him. Usually he's just a character who's there - usually made to be the weirdo or the butt of the joke, but this story made him something more tragic.

Thank you for showing us a different picture.

Gorgeous. I almost cried. It's flawlessly written. Good job :]

your insight is good and almost flawless.
