Very telling chapter about Itachi and Sakura's relationship. I liked it. I want to see Sasuke get all jealous and pouty again lol that was cute! :)

very intresting to read about sakura's mother her reaction, and some of their background!

please, please update soon!

awesome, awesome, awesome! Please update soon! I love your style of writing, I wish I could be a better writer like you. Update!

I liked seeing Haruno Miharu's reaction to Itachi/his relationship with Sakura. Naturally she'd been kind of apprehensive, but her decision to let Itachi keep hanging out with her daughter feels really natural. She has the potential to be an important force in his life too - although of course I don't know if you're planning to keep her as a main character.

I'm also interested to see if Kakashi continues to plan a part in Itachi's life, and if he'll end up in charge of team 7 later. It's a really interesting idea, having him mentor both of the Uchiha brothers.

Ugh. You are such a disgustingly incredible writer. And this is such a disgustingly incredible story. My stomach aches with inferiority, missy!

Your interpretation of the characters is just... wow. And how you manage to make even the secondary characters so well-rounded and realistic is beyond anything I could have wanted from an author. You write so convincingly and insightfully! It's amazing. Just purely, amazing.

I don't think Itachi is OOC at all. Just the fact that you chose to begin this story with the characters at such a young age is incredibly challenging and my infinite respect for you just increases with every chapter. Seriously. It's like, light-years big.

I'm so happy you updated. This story strikes me on a very deep level and I most certainly can't wait to read more. You're a fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more from you. Please keep blessing the world with your talent!

I love this story so much that I want to shake and squeeze you until somehow another chapter gets forced out of you. But I suppose that wouldn't be very comfortable...

Anyway, fabulous, fabulous writing as always. I am seriously impressed by the amount of effort you put into planning and working out the story. I'm constantly waiting for a cabbage patch story alert to arrive my inbox, and I'm never disappointed when it does, though I am disappointed when it doesn't. Update soon (or I may be forced to take desperate measures)!

P.S. Italicizing "shousui" makes it seem like you're trying to emphasize the word. I think it'd be better if you didn't italicize it.

I'm glad you updated. I hope you'll write another chapter soon because I'm getting more and more excited with this story

I absolutely love your story. I have read a multitude of ItaSaku stories but I have to say that this tops them all. I love the way your slowly but surely allowing us to see the attachment between Itachi and Sakura. I can't wait for the next chapter! Thank You.

Excellent chapter, possibly a new favorite. And the comparison to a stubborn koala is helping to put it there. :)

Awe the cuteness... I'm actually glad sakura's mother didn't seem to want to push itachi away from sakura even though their lives are on two different wavelengths and their age difference obviously. sakura's mom seems to be an understanding person. Nice work.

Excellent chapter!

I think that the story is interesting, but more unrealistic than your other stories. Logically, Itachi is not a stalker, is only interested in Sakura and, well, there's nothing 'wrong' with his encouters with her. Thats the logical conclusion, as you have stated. But at first when I read this, I was all like; "Sakura and Naruto are too smart, and Itachi, even though your explanation makes sense, still seems a bit... er... off."

I still, however, find your writing to be advanced and captivating, but this one just seems... not as good. It more than likely could just be my opinion, or I could just be imagining things, though I highly doubt so.

As usual, I find no spelling/grammar errors, and your plot is moving along nicely. Straight to the point and at the same time captivating your audience. Personally, I find this story dissatisfying to my taste, but everyone likes their own ideas and choice of what to read.

I don't think that Itachi is too OOC. Or perhaps he is, depending on the person. Itachi supposedly never showed much emotion. because of that, we never know what is going on inside his head. So, if he is OOC or not depends on what the person portrays him to be.

Itachi also 'mastered' the sharingan at 8, not gained, I believe. It's a minor mistake, but thats what good critics do, right?

AS for Sasuke, your right, he was acting older than he should be. But we could pass that off for Uchiha genes. Byt the time Itachi was seven, he probably was more mature than a fifteen year old... and I'm not exaggerating.

But the words you wrote near the end, about Itachi needing Sakura and other:: That, I found, was incredibly OOC, so much that I was slightly unnerved and a tad disturbed. Then again, this is your story, so if you were intending to make his character that way, I have no right to judge...

Another thing I noticed was Itachi and Sasuke's brotherly relationship, or lack thereof. Itachi is supposed to love Sasuke. I see none of that, sorry. All I really saw was a slight obsession with one Haruno Sakura and some disregard to his 'loved' little brother. So the point is, more Sasuke and Itachi brotherly moments. I apologize again if you meant it to be that way, if so, I again have no right to judge.

Keep on wrting and improving!

These installments are so cute!

You have the characters so adorabley cute, and you are showing how they are progressing, even if it's slightly.

You show how Itachi is slowly being pressurised, and aw I loved the team7 encounter!

I love the relationship between itachi and sakura. It's a lifeline, and it's so pure and innocently cute!

:D

Well yeah, I'm looking forward to the next installment!

Next time when I'm clearing out fics which I no longer want to read, yours sure as heck will stay! :D

This chapter of your story was exciting! I really enjoyed reading this and I do wish you the best of luck with your future chapter! I thought it was rather cute with how you introduced sakura, naruto and sasuke together. Your cannon verse Itachi is wonderful (including all of the other characters)! You really built quite a nice depth within all of them. Best of luck and I look forward to your next update!

So cute!
