I really liked this chapter. Loved the conversation between Sasuke and his teacher. Sasuke probably knows 64 different ways to kill someone yet he doesn't know what a one night stand is - kind of struck me as sad a little, though the tone of the overall chapter was not.

I like the dancing chapters so I look forward to some more of them. I'm wondering how Naruto will react to being in a dance class with same sex couples.

Looking forward to your next update!

I loved this chapter! Naruto seemed to be embarrassed the whole time. And Sasuke went from being confident, liking the compliments he was getting to being awkward, especially when he realized Naruto was staring at him. It was funny.

Sasuke really opened up when he talked about Orochimaru/Kabuto. Somehow I don't think he really scared the other two that much, after all they are grown men. But I do wonder what this line meant: "Actually it had been a bit more complicated but Naruto didn't have to know." Didn't have to know what? I assume we will find out later?

At the end Juugo's last line cracked me up: "You only go to the men's section if are not interested in this."

Looking forward to your next chapter!

I look forward to this update every week. It is pretty much the only fanfic that I'm reading anymore. I also love all the replies that you send me. ^-^

As for the chapter. It was really good to me. I love how you portrayed both Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto being naive towards love and sex, doesn't always understand what is happening or he is seeing. While Sasuke, on the other hand, has seen a lot. He has a whole three years of experiences that Naruto knows nothing about. Even with everything he has seen and experienced Sasuke still comes off as naive about relationships. I'm not sure how to best explain that. Neither one is experienced in love or anything like that, Sasuke is just a different kind of naive than Naruto.

I almost think that Sasuke is close to figuring out that his feelings for Naruto are leaning towards romantic, instead of platonic. Even though Naruto is still being jealous towards Sasuke, as well as attracted to his looks, he seems like it will take more to recognize that there could be something more between them. I honestly think that Juugo might figure out before either one of them. :P

Btw, I adore your Sasuke. He just seems like someone you would want to hug. I loved the part where he was telling everyone that the call was correct, and pointing it out in the rulebook. Then, he doesn't understand why they are mad. Hilarious. I also laughed when he admitted that he didn't mind looking at naruto's body. He is just too cute in this chapter.

Awesome new chapter. Sasuke has come a long way, being able to admit he needs help and letting Jugo go with the women. He is really thinking about what is best for others and not himself.

Contrast Naruto. He still has a little way to go. He is still looking for that acknowledgement from other people and from Sasuke.

The ending was sweet. Sasuke really went out of his way to make sure Naruto understood he was going to keep his word to him and that he wasn't going to leave. Their hug was a perfect ending. Looking forward to Sasuke's birthday.

Good chapter. So, Juugo is leaving them too. Everyone has found a place here it seems like. I feel bad for Naruto. The not having a memory of or anything of his parent's must be hard. I'm not sure if cutting an illustration out of a book is the answer, people most likely won't believe him if he tells them that. Anyway, I'm super happy that Naruto and Sasuke hugged at the end. It seems like they made a babystep forward. :p

this is officially my favourite story i've read so far, i really can't wait for the next chapter. x)

~Aw I thought I couldn't love Sauske more but you proved me wrong. He was so adorable in this chapter. I love how you characterise him to gradually learn to be a lovable, yet strong human being. That open arm gesture was so tender and show how he accepted his friendship. Juugo is another character I love both here and in canon. He's so understanding and nice.

(~Sigh) Naruto needed to get over his jealousy of Sasuke though. I know he was a good person and care for him. But he had this nagging feelings which would be a big problem in their relationship. So childish even. He still had this attention seeking-"acknowledge me, acknowledge me not Sasuke".He should learn how to be happy for Sasuke not how to be better than him. Love him tho. He had his moment most of the time.
ThanX

I'm not sure why, but the whole part when they rescue Juugo is my favorite part. Especially the end when Sasuke asks about punishment. And I can totally see Juugo giving him a look like 'duh, blow my cover...sure Sasuke.' XD

Poor you, you've been sick. I figured something must've happened since you're like clockwork when it comes to posting new chapters. I'm glad you're better now. Can't wait to see part 2!

Enjoyed the new chapter.

You've really developed Sasuke into a 3 dimensional character. Who knew Sasuke could feel insecure? He seems quite concerned that Naruto might get "man handled" by one of the girls. He even seemed a little bit jealous when Naruto claimed Juugo was his friend.

It's funny how both Sasuke and Naruto are determined to match make the other with Sakura. They both seem oblivious to the fact that neither one of them are interested in her.

Sasuke's reaction to the moms, essentially not flirting with him, was also interesting.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

I'm so excited to be heading full speed into the love story soon. You have been building so much that I know that it will be good. Interesting chapter this week. It has to be weird to be in a place where children can still be children for Naruto and Sasuke. At the age where these kids are having worried parents over staying out late, they were fighting for their lives. The school thing brings up interesting questions, obviously Konoha has different values and skills that they teach their children in school. Naruto and Sasuke could be very far behind all of these other people their age.

Loved the new chapter! I liked the internal dialogue Naruto and Sasuke were having about their feelings for each other. I love how they interacted with each other here. Naruto was amusing and adorable at the same time, when he got offended over being "led" by Sasuke. Sasuke was very caring and sensitive here too when he swapped positions so Naruto could lead.

What started out between them as an almost "mortal combat" competition ended as something very sweet and romantic. I especially like the dialogue at the end when the instructor is helping Sasuke do the alemana properly.

I really like this line: “You are being led, but you are still a man. Now try again, and you” - he turned to Naruto - “remain gentle.” They are both men, and you write them that way.

"Just be your usual arrogant self, Naruto thought."

My thoughts exactly :D

You will get no complaints from me. I loved this chapter. Even though there was little talking between Naruto and Sasuke it seemed to tell me a lot about their relationship. Sasuke it seems, has already realized how much he cares for Naruto. I loved the line where he said he missed embracing him, he needs to tell Naruto that :X

As for Naruto, he is completely slow in the feelings department. I can't believe he honestly thinks that Sasuke is in love with Sakura. They really need to clear that one up. I think if Naruto realized that, maybe he would be more honest with his own feelings. At the very least, he needs to tell Sasuke that he missed having him around.

I have told you this before, but I love how you are developing this relationship between Naruto and Sasuke. It feels very natural. I feel happy with each small step they have made towards understanding each others feelings.

ooh, so that is why it was a bit later than usual?
then it's ok. I was practically walikng up the walls in anxiety waiting for this chap. (i guess I undestand now why people pester me to update..)
does Naruto really believe that Sasuke is "in love with a girl back home" or did he just say it as an excuse?
Great chapter, anyway. A bit more "filler" that usual, but Sasuke was still true to Sasuke and Naruto was still Naruto.
Cheers!

No complaints from me. I got my dance scene and I'm happy. And I got to giggle the whole time as they both went through being the girl. XD

And by the way...Naruto is so freaking dense sometimes you almost want to hit him. Yet, you can't because he really is sweet and stuff... :)
