Jesus Christ. I...can't even begin to cover what I feel about this story. I laughed and cried and cursed reading it, all the while thinking holy shit this is one incredible writer.

I'm still not too sure how I feel about that last chapter...It was nice, I guess, but at the same time, maybe a little bit...unecessary? I really lovedlovedloved chapter 54 and how that ended, even though it absolutely broke my heart. "Just this, just us." I'm pretty sure I just flat out stared at the screen for a minute before I remembered to breathe.

There was just so much to like about this story- all you amazing descriptions and ways of phrasing things, the wonderful use of italics/parentheses, the brutally honest relationships and the raw emotion...I could go on.

But yeah, basically I love the story, so much, and this review is just completely inadequate, but hey, we can't all be genius writers XD

Just...thank you so much for writing and sharing. Really. This story made my day/week/month.

The last few lines of chapter 54 (which I can't help but consider the true ending of the story) were just so perfect, truly bringing everything "full circle" in such a tragically fated way that I actually had trouble breathing when I finished reading it, wishing that I could just cry like I sometimes do for sad stories but somehow beyond that. Chapter 55 was nice, but I can't help but consider it a stand-alone piece; after all the tragedies, trials and tribulations the characters endure in the first 54 chapters, it just seems too easy to wrap it up in a pretty "they get reincarnated and live happily ever after" bow. Having said that, I didn't really mind it either; you broke my heart with this story, so "Circle's End" was a bit of a balm.

Many people seem to despise your Naruto, for obvious reasons, but I can't help but think that what you did with his character was genius: you started with the Naruto that we all know and love, and then showed the process of an innocent and dedicated soul being slowly tainted by a monster's influence. It was so sad, reading about Naruto's loss of self and how he slowly become disassociated from reality as a monster's consciousness merged with his. None of it was really "Naruto's" fault, because in the end he wasn't really Naruto, just like Sasuke wasn't entirely Sasuke.

Jesus Christ.

I hope to God that you're planning on publishing your own work, because your writing is absolutely astounding. The raw, unbridled emotion so present in this story, combined with the cruel presence of the situational reality, paralleled with the happiness of ignorant innocence... They combine and make the story seem so very real; the characters so very flawed and human that it hurts you when they hurt, fills you with such a delicate, incredibly powerful sense of joy and pride when they finally do what they truly believe is right, when they try to better themselves.

Don't stop. It'd be such a horrible waste of talent.

How much of it is Sasuke? What makes a person themselves anyway? It sort of reminds me of Sai's picture book, where he picks up a piece of every person he defeats and adds it to himself. Is that Sasuke or Orochimaru or Kakashi or Itachi? Well, I really hope it's not a mix of them all.

Your Kakashi is brutal and your Sasuke's pathetic, but it makes so much sense thanks to some depraved sort of logic.

I've read some of your other reviews, and it seems some people found your fic rather confusing or incoherent. I'll admit I had to read the first chapter twice to comprehend it, but I don't think it's incoherent at all. You just have to think to understand, and there's no harm in that. I think thought-provoking stories are some of the better ones, and the obscureness that is sometimes expressed when you write fragments instead of complete sentences adds to the mood of the piece. I really like it.

That was beautiful. You probably already know that. It made use of nearly every Naruto cliche I know of, but it's not quite like anything I've read before, which is a wonderful and exceptional thing. It wasn't quite enjoyable, perhaps more heartbreaking.

Your fic blew me away! It's so perfect, although dark. I love your portrayal of Sasuke and Naruto - and all the other characters. Your story talked to me. Keep writing!

Kinda would like to see how Itachi and Hanabi would interact and what would happen to them and their future children, especially as their world view seems so bleak. Would also like to see Itachi's continued reaction with Sakura, Ino and Rina-chan.

This story was epic.
It was a maelstrom of emotions that i cannot put into words.
it made me laugh, cry, feel disgusted and it made me hurt.
At some parts i hated it and debated stopping, but your writing kept me hooked until the very end. Naruto made me cry, pity him and hate him. He made me feel everyone else would be better off with him dead. Sasuke was utterly broken and i felt for him. I could understand why he was like the way he is, and the relationship between him and everyone is so simple yet extremely complex and it made my heart ache. Itachi II made me pity him and and cry for his loss of his childhood and his obvious fucked-up'ed-ness. Overall it was a marvelously well-written story, one I'm glad I read and most certainly will re-read. it wasn't something i was actively looking for, yet i am extremely glad i stumbled across it. It truly was one of the most tragic, heart-breaking storys i have ever read. (and thats quite a lot)
Thank-you for the wonderful read and sorry for this horribly incomprehensible review. I just can't put my thoughts into words.
thanks again

Okay. When I first started reading this, my first thought was of how messed up it was, mentally, emotionally, ect. I still thought it was amazing and completely accurate. I did have to keep in mind that it was written pre-shippuden, which was okay, but the pre-shippudenness of it kinda made it even more awesome. And it was awesome. The characters became even more complex than the actual characters, if you get what I mean. Some of the pairings weren't my general style. The girl on girl nearly killed it for me, but because it was light and it worked so completely for the characters that I finished. You are one of those exceptionally skilled writers that can write for whatever pairing you want and make it work. I never would have paired hanabi with kankurou. never could've imagined it. You made it work. And I loved your original characters as well. It was kinda what the reality would be after all that happens.
It was also well written. You have a unique writing style and it's easy to get used to. I really enjoyed the story.

I am totally confuzzled?

This story is amazing. Utterly wrong, heart-wrenching, broken, and occasionally disgusting (any everything is exactly like a nightmare, like the worst it could possibly be) but it kept me captivated. The epilogue is the best, though - (continuation? Lol!) Gotta love reincarnations.

This story is great, and I'd put it on my favourites list, except it's also so disturbing that it's been haunting me, lol.

Fucking gorgeous, i cried.

It's taken me days to get through this, but honestly this is one of the best fics I've ever read. never have I come across a mpreg that I would actually read, much less like, and honestly, if I had known going into this that Sasuke would have a kid, I wouldn't have read it. But I went in blind and fell in love with your style and your interpretations of the characters. I adore the relationship with Kakashi and Sasuke in all its twisted glory, and I love the fact that everyone is so utterly broken.
You did an excellent job bringing in the other characters, even (especially) minor ones, developing them to a fault (Kankurou, Hanabi.) You didn't leave out Sakura, which so many people do in SasuNaru fics, and you made team 7 perfect and believable, for all it's pride and baggage.
I have mixed feelings about your interpretations of Ino and Iruka and am not sure about the last chapter, but those are little things, and they work.
If there was one thing that absolutely made this fic for me, it was the relationship between Kakashi and Sasuke, and how it never ended and how it was never the focus, never good, but always necessary. Keep writing, you add beauty to ugly tragedy.

I wicked like the way you write Sakura, and I'm really curious about the dark direction you're taking Kakashi. He's always seemed like a conflict to me, part good, part not.

Sasuke/Orochimaru is the sex. Seriously.
