Oh gosh, this was absolutely EPIC! I loved it.

And I agree with you, Shikamaru is a very sexy smoker. :)

... *Worship/cry/sob/worship* It was so... good. It was so... SAD. It was so... TRUE! I loved it! I hated it. I LOVED IT SOME MORE! I think I'll go angst in my corner now.

Rest in peace Asuma-sensei, we love you.

You did this justice. *Bow*

Smoking is bad for you.


Shikamaru is smoking.


Thus, Shikamaru must therefore be bad for you.


And you know you so like it.

Yes, Shikamaru makes about the sexiest damn smoker ever.

ZOMG. Excellent closure for chapter 328.

That was real deap...I still can't believe that Asuma died - is the Sarutobi clan cursed to die (can Konohamaru be next?)

Aw, poor Shikamaru! I like how you tied all the moments from Shika's experiences together with the smell of Asuma's cigarette smoke. You captured both Shika and Asuma's personalities really well.

Hey that was really good, I love the style in which you wrote it. I've lost count to how many of these after 328 fics I've read in the last hour. They are good, your style is unique and this was very well written.

Great job and thank you for sharing.

Let's mourn together the death of one Sarutobi Asuma, Sandaime's legacy and, very much likely, Konohamaru's father. That chapter, which was dropped like a bomb in my lap, because I really has thought he would survive, made me almost, so very almost, cry. You're wright, writing is a very good way to ventilate emotions. A shame that I'm not into writing right now, so I thank you for the fic. Reading also helps to release some pent up frustrations and emotions. See you next fanfic, hopefully a Narusaku and based on the manga XD it's the least those guys can do after dropping this bomb in our laps!

holy balls Saya, you made me cry with that. This was so beautiful and summed everything up so well. Wow..I mean seriously wow. Very nice job, and I am with you on chapter 328 angst.

Yes, Shikamaru does make a very sexy smoker. The fact that I notice that instantly during such an angsty chapter is bad hott wrong.

Wonderful fic. *fav'd*

I'm also angsting very much over that chapter! Good one shot; I have my own idea for that theme as well. Keep writing!

...that was just...awesome. A sad awsome, in a very good way.

I just read chapter 328 about 2 minutes ago, and now I read this...
It just makes me so sad... T_T

I can't believe my beloved Asuma sensei die, leaving Kurenai sensei behind...

Btw, I agree that our dear deer-kun(get it? dear deer?!! I couldn't help it. The story was so sad, I had to brighten up the mood...) makes one cute smoker.

Well, great story!!

There are so many people writing stories about chapter 328. But it's kool. I honestly did cry cried when I read the chapter. It was so sad! I liked Asuma! I have a bad feeling something is going to happen to Konohamaru too. Hmm, do you think he's Kurenai and Asuma's son? I do...

Anyway, this one-shot was very good. Very IC.
