whoa, touching speech in the A/N... yes, i cried at chapter 70, and Sasuke's last words made me smile sadly, because i knew the story was over. indeed, Blind was, and still is, a great story.

ok, for this chapter, i find Sasuke to be much more in-character, especially dutring that "vindication" part at the end there.

voila!

“Your face is warm—it might be fever.” muhahaha! that is soo evil... love it! Sasuke is completely oblivious to Sakura's shyness about their uncomfortable positions...good one!

And while i say that Paris is a beautiful, historical city, i must agree with you; my first impression of it was: "the smell of good wine, expensive perfume and cheap-ass cigarettes."

voila!

cool battle sequence! not a lot of authors can pull off that amount of fun in a descriptive segment (meaning, it sometimes gets boring and confusing... but not you!). but what now? both Sasuke and Sakura have basically NO chakra left!

...i hate cliffhangers, but love the authors for putting them there. ^o^

voila!

poor Jiraiya! ... well, i suppose he has been doing some research... if observing Konan is research...

Sasuke finding Sakura while she bathed? classic! i loved the "He was very glad, at the moment, that his chakra could not penetrate the water’s surface" haha! that's what make it different from any other riverside encounter.

voila!

duh-duh-duh-DUN! haha! great plot twist!for this chapter, Sakura was my favourite narrative voice... it seemed Sasuke was a bit out of it; but then again, who wouldn't be out of it, getting flashbacks out of the blue? lol.

voila!

uh-oh, the plot thickens! Sasuke's dreams are superb, both for his memory and foreshadowing..! again, however, Sasuke does seem "over-the-edge" cheesy...careful... on the other hand, Sasuke's observations of Sakura, of her eyes especially, were very much welcome ^o^

hehe, Sasuke finally puts his hands on top of Sakura's! he's been wanting to do that since..what, chapter 3?

...and that client is a bastard. fun portrayal!^o^

kill me... but i skipped over the Nariko narrative!

she's incredibly in-character, though, and i know she's less articulate than Itachi, Sakura or (my favourite) Sasuke... but still...

and whoa, Sasuke just instantaneously became cheesier... but his narrative is still the best, and Sakura is staying in character!

voila!

i really don't think that the stoic sasuke would be screaming in pain in any AU, a better idea than Sasuke not becoming strong fast enough, would be to invent a plot loop that allows Ochimaru to switch sooner than three years. I'm sorry, i just can't accept a weak Sasuke-kun.

hehe the plot thickens! Sakura starts to heal Sasuke's eyesight... glee!

enter Neji! yay! honest, i would not have thought that Sasuke would wound his pride so much and ask Neji of all people, for help... great twist!

... dear lord, i nearly skipped over the akatsuki segment! careful with those narrative voices: i know they're all deranged, but there should still be some (small, tiny) sanity left...

...sigh...Sakura's father is a heartless _ sometimes... relishing the sasusaku fluff! ^o^

luvs Sasuke's reaction to Sakura's father staying over at their place! btw, i still hate sakura's dad...

again, transitional chapter, ... but i hate Sakura's father... i suppose you are making us hate him, ne?
