PLEASE UPDATE AGAIN! YOU CANT DO THIS!

I wanted a new chapter so bad and here it is! I started fangirling when I saw you updated this fanfic and I started reading this chapter as soon as I could. I love the development between Sakura and Gaara and all the work Sakura's doing at the hospital putting everything in it's proper place! Your way of writing and describing everything makes me picture each gesture, thought and expression. It catches me, really. I can't wait for the next chapter and how you will explain undead-Akatsuki attack to Suna.

That was a good cliffhanger.
The rest of Team 7 will probably rush over to Suna as soon as they hear of this.
May those who try to get in their way be granted a merciful death.
I can't wait to see what's next.

So excited that there was an update! Good stories are worth waiting for, but I'm still glad that a new chapter is out (and action too!)
Anyway, good luck on your finals!

I love this story. Everytime I see an update for it I get super excited wondering what happens next. Please keep up the good work.

I love how kick-ass Sakura is in this story. I love how organized and efficient she is, and Gaara is obviously aware of how good she is in her work. As much as I like Gaara, I miss Sasuke though. I hope the Konoha boys will come over soon now that they're under attack. Good job, and please please update soon even though school's a bitch.

this is amazing! and the Sakura-Gaara friendship too!

Really like the way you are portraying Gaara an Sakura- its realistic and I hope you continue their interactions in the future. This is a brilliant concept for a story and I like the way you keep everything moving at a fast pace- it makes for good reading even with space between updates. So please continue as quickly as you can (though I completely understand what you mean by school work)

Jesus christ. WHY DO YOU LEAVE ME HANGING LIKE THAT? Update immediately! I demand it so! I must have more!

Hey! You updated - yay! Im getting a horrible premonition here - please dont kill Sakura..? Coz, she needs to go back with Sasuke - you have one of the most believable Sasuke's out there!

GAH! I HATE CLIFFHANGERS! That was such a great chapter and I like how you had Sakura and Gaara spar...oh snap orochimaru is back. It's going to be one heck of a fight and I can only imagine what's going to happen when Naruto and Sasuke find out suna was attacked with Sakura there :D Please please update soon and good luck with your finals!

Sakura's blow-up in the council room is really funny, especially Tsunade's letter.
I'm a little confused, but that may be because I haven't looked at the chapters being spoiled in this chapter in a long time, but this is supposed to be the start of the 4th shinobi war, right?
Anyway, well done, good chapter with interesting and understandable detail, flows naturally along with the actual plot. Happy writing and I can't wait to read more. :)

Great chapter! I loved their spar :)

OMG! sakura is soo BOSS! i love it!

Prepare your eyes, my wonderful little writer, your about to read a VERY long and treacherous review - I can't help myself.
I'll start off by saying that at first I wasn't too sure what Catch 22 was until I got one of those author alerts and my basic attitude was pretty much like, "Oh, an update," and I was going to read it later when I was done my math until I read your name. Needless to say, I didn't finish my homework.
I spent the night reading and re-reading the entire story of Catch 22 and I couldn't get enough of it. It probably has one of the most admirable characters in terms of growth and development and you wrote it in a way that showed just how much Sakura has grown, not to mention that she continues to grow and mature through each chapter, which is truly wonderful especially since a LOT of the fanfics on here (I refuse to mention any) have characters that are either COMPLETELY static or they change drastically in just a few chapters. But seriously, character development? First class.
I don't think I can express how much I appreciate your constant dedication in making each and every one of the characters behave, think, and communicate just as they do in the real series. I don't mind OOOCness, but it's refreshing to read a part of a story and think, "Yeah, I could totally see him/her doing something like that." I personally think that you have Sasuke's personality down pat (is that what that saying is?). You're somehow able to make him aloof, cold, and yet gradually caring and accepting of his teammates and Konoha. His biting retorts to Naruto will never cease to amuse me. Speaking of Naruto, I absolutely love love LOVE his lines in this story! The part in the Chuunin with him and Sakura arguing over her making "kissy kissy" faces at Gaara (foreshadowing?) made my day, and I actually had to clamp a hand over my mouth when I read Tsunade's response about Naruto's "terrible balance". Aah, genius.
On that note, I admire how you write humorous scenes of the story in just the right spots as opposed to all over the place. Not only that, but many authors seem to think that loud, capitalized phrases and violence is the key to making readers laugh (which never fails to piss me off) but you never fail to throw me into a fit of giggles at least once every chapter with nothing but a witty line or even with one of Naruto's childish antics.
I like how the readers don't know who Sakura will end up with (if the pairing info is anything to go by then there should be one - right?) which keeps us guessing. Personally, I'm a SasuSaku girl myself, but these last few chapters have made me extremely partial to Sakura being with Gaara. He is so adorable and he treats her and gives her the respect and encouragement that she needs and deserves. I practically sighed in awe when he helped her out with the Hokage duties. It was just too cute. You happy now? You've left me to nothing but a giggling fangirl T.T
In all seriousness, I could totally see Sakura with either Sasuke or Gaara in this story and if you played your cards right, we could have a very interesting love triangle on our hands (but if you do do that, please don't hurt Gaara).
It's quite refreshing that you don't constantly hate and bash on Karin at every turn also.
Your writing style is crisp, clear, creative, and I noticed that you know how to use big words without making the sentence not flow properly, if you know what I'm trying to say. You've also been improving a lot, as well, which is quite impressive.
All in all, a fan-fucking awesome story and I can't wait to read more. Truly well done. Please don't rush in updating and take your sweet time with it :)

P.S. By any chance, do you already know who Sakura will end up with? It's killing me.

P.P.S. When do you think you'll update Love and In War again? But don't feel the need to rush, I understand just how life-absorbing school is
