OH my goodness gracious where have the updates gone? truly a beautiful story, witty, wel written, i loved it. update...?

Aw...I cant wait to see how it turns out!

wow, that was pretty harsh of Sasuke to kick Naruto out. He's just hasn't come to the realization that he's falling in love with Naruto. I wonder if Naruto will keep going for the next two days or will he call Sasuke on it and claim his end of the prize.

I wonder what each of them would ask of each other...well, more like what Naruto would ask Sasuke since Sasuke's the one that gave up.

Ah, it's so sad...Gaara has a crush on Naruto, but Naruto has already declared that his heart is elsewhere. Is that little speech at the ending a confession? xDD

Can't wait for the next chapter!
Love, Sqry

It would appear that you haven't updated in quite a while, but I'll review and put the story alert on just in case you'll continue this.

I have enjoyed reading this story very, very much.

The plot is interesting and there's a good amount of sad parts and funny parts.

"It was barely registering with Sasuke that they were plotting his death."

...Not excatly a good time to be distracted, now is it?

“No. no one’s supposed to know that our seals are weakening to the point that our demons’ are influencing our bodies beyond our ability to suppress them.”

Ooh. I can see why it would be bad for that to get out.

“There’s nothing between us Sasuke. My heart belongs to another. Not Gaara.” Gaara winced ever so slightly; the words hurt.

Poor Gaara...

“The abandoned Uchiha Estate.”

That's... I can't think of a proper word...

“I’ll buy a bouquet of flowers and sit on the wall looking broody, people will give this place a WIDE birth.”

...True.

That stupid thing needs to be named properly, it’s so ridiculous to say ‘bet thing’.”

That's also true. :P

"It was his nature to take painful things and relish in them, to turn them over and other in his mind until they made him crazy."

...That's not very healthy.

"Dawn was coming; it couldn’t be anymore then an hour away. But he didn’t want to face it. He buried his eyes in his arms and let the roses fall to the ground."

I feel genuinely bad for Sasuke.

"But he was. In roughly the same position no less. Had he stayed the entire night? Naruto wondered, or has he simply fallen asleep? Naruto wasn’t sure he liked either option. He went to Sasuke and made to shake him but Sasuke unfolded himself from the crouched position on the wall, he stood to face Naruto and simply said, “I’m tired.” before leaving without another word."

For some reason I really liked that part.

“I said I’m done playing this stupid little game, dobe.”

Well...that's not a good thing.

“I liked you Sasuke. I really, really did.” Naruto admitted, “I liked you because you were strong, because you were weak in a good way, and because you were dedicated. Even after you kick me out today, I’m still going to like you.”

Another part that I really liked.

I've really enjoyed reading so far, and would love to see more.

Gomenasai by t.A.t.U. just started to play on my computer, oh man it fits too well, please go youtube it, it really does fit the ending of the last chapter and the opening of this one.
This is really good, I hope you can update soon! ^^
-checks my own mask-
Yup, still in place...

Who. That one was a shocker. I re-read it about eight times just to get the magnitude of it all. *applauds* Vary, vary good. Definitely worth the wait. Keep on keepin' on! XD

Much love,
Nephilum

? um, well..the chapter was thrilling. Sasuke is so raw. And Naruto...I dont know how to explain but at first I didnt like this real naruto...but he's complexed and I grew to like him, like i grew to like this story more. I don't know what would upset you enough to leave a note like that but if its because of a review...why would you let it effect you? If its a home problem then, my apologies. I wont ask I probably wont understand. So people may have short reviews..perhaps they dont know how to express what they feel, but isnt it the time they put in to review? Even if its only a couple of seconds its holding them back from reading a diff story?

Please please please update. I really will be crushed if you don't. And now, for my reason of loving it:

I have never read a fic like this one. It is an interesting perspective, and is writen very, very well. The way that you write both Naruto and Sasuke is completely different then how most others portray them. I will be very sadened if you do not complete this story.

man the show kyuubi and shukaku

...*blinks and tilts head slightly*...that, I did not expect...the Gaara and Naruto thing especially

for some odd reason I thought that this story was all humor...stupid Kai *hits self in head* there is very little humor with Naruto when discussing masks...except Kakashi's mask!

Nice!

...aw poor sasuke...but if it were me up on that wall i would have watched or taped it anyway ^^

Good chapter.

ah! it's not dead! i'm glad you decided to finish this(maybe). i love it cuz it's nice to see another side of naruto and sasuke. mostly naruto. i kind of wondered while reading the manga, why on earth he wasn't more bitter because of his treatment by the village. i DID wonder how on earth he passed the academy and got to the finals in the chuunin exams when he acted as idiotic as he did. and i wondered why he didn't at least TRY to be more sensible and skilled when he was looking for respect. so, i guess i'm just trying to say i'm glad to see a fic where that's addressed. thank you.

Aw Sasuke likes Naruto and he's jus realized it (somewhat) and now he's jealous...I hope Naruto doesn't stop acting like he has i like him without his mask...It jus seems so him in a way it's believable...
