I am so happy that you have started updating this story again! It's one of my favorites. Thank you for continuing the story. I can't wait for further updates. :)

If this is filler, then it was excellent filler.

Well... thanks for updating...

They're 9 now and Sasuke's giving his acquaintances the 'cootie' treatment.

One month to the rival Sasuke.
Hmm...
Naruto: Wind natured.
Sakura: (Probably Earth natured)

...and the only clan willing to lend its fire-techniques may be the Sarutobi Clan.

Interesting.
Would itachi-kun carve a splinter out of his busy schedule to give Sakura and Naruto tips?
Therein lies a plot in the making.

Of Whirlpools and Earth
High peaks and valleys
Gather tears and mirth

Teehee...

I don't really mind that this was a filler chapter. i'm just glad that you updated. And still, every chapter that you update always leaves a smile on my face. :) the last part made me

Thanks for updating! We'll be waiting for the next chappie! :)

Omg i was worried this story was forgotten again! i love this story so much. and i can't wait for the next chapter. i expected Itachi to be listening in to what Sasuke and them did at the end there to see how much they change. and I thought the Fireball jutsu was only for Uchiha family members?

Nice chapter!
It was very filler-y but that just means that the next chapter is going to be better!
Cute! Sasuke was being very bratty. Stupid clan...
Update soon!
Eternal Cat Moon

Still love this story, and though I love to see Itachi, I had no problem reading about Sakura's life as well. Most people skip out on the fact that both sides of a relationship have lives outside the relationship itself, and I like that you highlight that!

Great chapter! I think it was a great idea to show Naruto and Sakura trying to improve their skills. Hope to see another chapter soon!

Yayayayayayyayayayayayay! An update! Loved the chapter! They're all so cute as kids! Their personalities are perfect! Can't wait for the next update!

It might have been filler but it was still good, vital filler. As always it was well written and easy to follow. Although I did miss Itachi lol. Great job and I am looking forward to the next chapter

You have no idea how glad I am to see you back, ready, willing and enabled. It's been a while, but I also know how hard it is sometimes to control that elusive and flirty muse. Take your time and have fun with it! That is, after all, why we write.

Thank you! To you and your beta, for continuing to bring more and more of this amazing story to us! Sasuke is being a total brat, but I see your point and I cannot wait to see what happens. Naruto has always been known to achieve the impossible... I hope Sakura can too.

Much love and appreciation!

SOOOO CUTE!

Filler chapter, but nonetheless, incredibly enjoyable to read. :)

Just a question - this chapter (and I assume the next) are very Team Seven centric. I was wondering if the story would still be Itachi/Sakura focused in general, or more of an Alternate Universe (but canon compliant-ish) instead? Because the summary and the beginning chapters were more Itachi and Sakura relationship-y.

Anyways. I really love this chapter. I think you managed to make Sasuke realistic, adorable, and annoying all at the same time. You're very good at weaving in psychological stuff without a lot of the accompanying boredom.

I LOVE YOU.
Update soon!

I loved this update. I'm looking forward to the next one.
