This was awesome! A well done sequel to your previous story!

Hello,
I know it's been only almost two years, not five, as you've written, but a sequel would be indeed the most delightful. c:
Anway, thank you for awesome story, though I hoped some Naruto & Gaara relationship would be discussed more closely, to be honest. I kind of expected for them to actively meet and do... things... like talking about their tragic childhoods, going out eating, and simply being friends. But regardless of that it was one great fan fic, hope one day it will have a sequel.
Setsumi

i liked reading this thanks for sticking with it even when your inseration was dulled

This story and its prequel were very moving. Naruto and gaara's friendship made me a bit teary in the first story. I just hope you continue this. Thanks

'M dying and looking forward to reading the other eleven chapters

(Yay for Ellegarden!)

If there's going to have sequel, I wish Naruto would learn Summon. Any summon is fine. But i do prefer canon Toad Summon! And Rasengan!
Jiraiya should teach Naruto Rasengan as apology? maybe? for not being there years ago as his Godfather and not helping Kushina? please?!
I actually want Naruto to learn medic too. Since none of Sabaku siblings do medic. Right?

Anyway, it was still Great fic!
Kankuro and Gaara's relationship getting better... :)
Sequel should do Temari with Gaara too!

And Naruto team work together with the leaf teams was Great again!

Awesome!

it was a very enjoyable ride! hope you continue some day()thank you!

Ahhhhh I love it! I could keeping reading this for several more seasons at least~ ;)

Mostly entertaining story. Some laughs, some disappointments - like Naruto and friends leaving mortal enemies alive so they could attack the good guys again, later.
And, a pretty lame "trap" for the big bad that seemed very under-powered and unprepared - letting the bad guy escape with relative ease.

Ending leaves us hanging a bit too much.
Still, this would be passable entertainment of it just continued, reasonably well, for a few more plot resolutions. ;)

Eh, that was fun while it lasted. Yeah, Orochimaru is one persistant mofo. Thought he was dead after Itachi got rid of him, but noooo, he came back to life during the war and proceeded to live all the way into the Epilogue and beyond. ...seriously?

Aa, I love Naruto's rather blatant insubordination and yet still somehow being able to get away with it by a mix of circumstances and connections. He stands out a lot in Suna for that, even more so than in Konoha, since prior to the start of the story he'd never interacted with the Kazekage on anything more than a professional capacity, unlike in Konoha where he kind of has a in with the Hokage being his surrogate granddad or something.

I wonder who does Sarutobi want as the fifth. Without Naruto in Leaf, I'm not sure they'll ever be able to convince Tsunade to go back to Konoha.

This was a really interesting series to follow! Thank you for writing it, and tata!

To be honest, at this point even SasuHina seems more likely than NaruHina. And whoa, Hinata and Neji together took down Kidomaru! Well... They didn't exactly work together persay, but they fought him together.

I feel really sorry for Hinata. Ugh. Poor girl. Without Naruto she doesn't have someone to admire, someone to aspire for, so she hasn't really found a reason to fight.

...Wait, only Sakon and Ukon went after Naruto and Sasuke. Crap, there's still Tayuya left. I suppose it's left to Sai to deal with her.

Oooh, poor Karin. Finding those bodies like that.

Yeah, with all the fix-it and time travel fics I've been reading, the Sasuke-Orochimaru fight is one of the most annoying (even more than Wave arc) cause you just know how freaking /hopeless/ it is. Yeah.

Also, WHOA! Naruto totally owned Jirobo, and both Kankuro and Naruto owned Kimimaro. The invincible Kimimaro! Awesome!

Though yeah... Poison is a good idea to use against him. He's impervious to crushing or stabbing whatever other stuff, but poison directly affects the bloodstream. With his weakened state, it'd probably affect him even more. It's a really good idea. Why did I never think of it before?

Actually, poison seems pretty underused in Naruto. We have Sasori, but that's all. ...I guess it's not too awesome without fire, rocks and punches flying around eh?

Wowwww. Heh, I suppose Naruto would feel the need to get stronger because of that. He ain't like us, he doesn't know how much trouble has been averted because of him.

The Chiyo mentoring Kankuro thing was something I didn't expect! Poor Kankuro, hehe. He might have gotten through to her, but after that prep talk she ain't gotta let him off so easily.

So Hinata didn't pass... But I suppose because she was the pseudo-heiress, she got genin rank after all. Hmm... A team with Sasuke, Sai and Hinata eh? That's interesting! And Neji's coming, so Naruto can beat the arrogance out of him that way too. Hehe. This will be fun.

WHAAAAT?! Chuunin Exams in Hidden Sand? What did they discuss to make this decision? Is it to throw off Orochimaru's plans? Whoa, whoa! This is unprecedented. Wow. Chuunin Exams in Sand.

Also, I'm probably not the only one laughing at the fact that everyone back at Sand in the know are running around trying to fix things not knowing that Naruto already made everything alright.
