I'm so so so happy that you're back! Hope that your training camp wasn't horrible and that you now have time to rest! Anyways, I read through this story for the first time and just want to say that it is amazing. This world that you have created is very vivid and also gruesome. I know I'm reading a good story when I can visualize the scenery and characters like I'm watching a movie. I read your edit that you want to continue this and (no mean to be annoying, but I guess I am) but I really really hope that you do. You have struck story gold here and I hope that you continue to share this depressing yet exciting story with the many who love this story. Reading that you edited the next chapter has got me very excited, so I'm really looking forward to it. Until then, I will be vigorously reading this story over and over. Also, just sharing my opinion, but for some reason the Lord that I'm anticipating the most for Sakura to meet is Naruto. He's rarely depicted as a bastard so I really want to see more of him and how he interacts with Sakura.

Plz update soon! _

I hope you haven't forget this story :'(

I really like how strong and determined Sakura is!

I've read most of your stories unknowingly this past year and never got to really look at your internet name to connect the dots and find out that you were the same author who wrote Airborne, Seven, etch, and I finally was able to because of that long oneshot you wrote (BRILLIANT. SIMPLY BRILLIANT.) and BAM, I now worship the virtual ground you have walked on. I really hope you continue this very soon.

Are u going to continue this story? I've been on alert for this for quite some years now. (on a different account) Please confirm i'm anxious to know if there's hope for another chapter!

This is a really well done story. I wonder if you are going to incorporate Tsunade in any of this...

when are you planning to write more? it is a weary interesting plot

I hope Sakura gets a chance to hit Pein in the nuts later.

Great awesome story i hope you can find time to update soon

i just have to say it plain as day can say what i think of or story because it was great. sorry if that doesn't make sense. what i mean is you story was... AMAZING so far i can't wait to read the next chapter.

Can't wait for the next update

Even over three years ago, you were a fantastic writer with a skill at developing story lines - I can't wait to read some of your more recent work. It's a shame, though, that you never continued with this story, as it is extremely good.

I hope you might consider picking this story up again, rewriting it, or anything along those lines - you would be the one to know best what to do, if anything.

Anyway though, just wanted to comment, as there is no way I could have read through this whole amazing thing and passed by it without a word, regardless of whether it is complete or not!

Everything you write is smothered in amazing. Its actually not fair how you can be such an amazing writer and I can't even come up with a decent "roses are red" poem, haha. But you have an amazing talent. I love the world you've built in this story- pure, barbaric and cruel. Its rare to find any story in such an environment. Oh and of course skull-crushing Sakura is kick-ass. I adore her strength, mentally and physically- I also like her realistic way of thinking- if she must humiliate herself to live or whore herself out (although courtesan's were the most intelligent well-treated women of that time, so it would have had a slight upside(?)- well "well-treated" in your time. Karin's an idiot lol) she will. (Which is an awkward thing to say but I mean its most realistic to, well... anything and that s what I love) Pein's arrogance is addicting. I love reading his character. I only hope to see or hear of the other lords soon, yay Sasori, Kakashi and Itachi! *fan girl squeal*.

What a great start! I really love the world that you've set up here. I'm glad that there are more chapters that I'm probably going to devour in 10 minutes :)

P.S. I see you like Sly Cooper...I think that they're making a new game for it! I read about it in Game Informer :)
