hm... i think it might be along the lines of destroying akatsuki or orochimaru. but it's probably not right...

very awesome. your update speed is beyond god-like. I bow to you, sir

And yet again you update right on schedule (I stay up until 3 am EST each night to check for new updates. Usually it doesn't even show a new chapter and I have to use the chapter dropdown selection to go to the new chapter).

I really like where you are going with this. I am pleasantly surprised at the appearance of Anko and your plans to incorporate her into the story. Given how you have set up Anko as one of Jiraiya's previous pupils I am looking forward to their future interactions. I'm guessing that either Jiraiya holds a grudge against her for going over to Orochimaru (I doubt it) or Anko is too ashamed to face her genin sensei given the things she has done (more likely).

On the topic of character, is there a chance you will be developing the characters of some of the other characters in Team Seven's lives? Perhaps Jiraiya or Tsunade? Ino?

After rereading the earlier chapters a few times I realised how easily this fic could have been a grown up InoNaruSaku fic... . Alas poor Ino has no one (which is fine since I am a much bigger NaruSaku fan)

Keep up the good writing!

(I should really try to review more often rather than bombard you with so much at once O.o)

I just wanted to say, "thank you" for updating so quickly. this is a great fic

yo just to let you know anko could have a deep reltionship with oro at 12 because she was his 1 and only stundent so lots of time together and I got the impression that anko has been with oro even longer then that but thats just me I do study psychologly though so I can say this kids can devolp very deep reltionships with little time at all it has something to do with their learning process. Any how good story keep it up.

heh heh heh, i was wondering when you'd use the title in a quote. most stories do that. great update though, it's nice to know Naruto isn't getting strung along.

first i'd like to mention that i've really enjoyed this story so far (though i admit that a few things really irk me since they dont make sense to me)

in this chapter the hokage technique is something that naruto never tried using a kage bushin since he didnt know what it would do to him but he was willing to try it on ino's kage bushin? seems kinda messed up, though you did say it was an advanced version of her original try at this so with a little writing in the next chapter you can fairly easily explain why naruto thought i'd be safe to do it this time

as for the other things that've bugged me you've already answered questions about em and it doesnt look like your gonna change anything (the chidori raikiri and the 4th having as much chakra as the kyuubi))

anyways please keep up the good work

Another good chapter, keep it up.

I am really impressed by your style of writing it just blew me away. Your plot is top notch along with your character development. Another good trait that i have noticed throughout the fic is that you dont rush things although there have been some points that could have used a little bit more detail but hey this is your BBQ. But other than that i really enjoyed your fic so far and cant wait for the next chapter.

Fantastic chapter.

The technique, was both unique and impressive. Absolutely fantastic.

Good luck & best wishes,

Hououza

Absolutly the best Naruto Fan Fic I have ever read, the characters stay true to themselvs and it sounds like something taken strait from the manga. Nothing sounds like it would be out of place for the series, the date scene was all very well done. I hope to see Naruto's and Sakura's relationship grow even more in the comming chapters.

I dont belive I have any negative comments for this, keep up the good work. You are a very talented writer.

Wow, this is amazing. It ties into the manga so well it's scary. Great work. I love it.

it's a very interesting fic! i really like your way of portraying their characters in total sync w/ the original manga. your plot/story is totally different from the others so i really want to congratulate you for a well done job on this fic of yours. good choice in making ino the other main char. coz i think she really have a big heart and she's really clever as well as concern for the welfare of others. i love your fic! im sure a lot of people will agree w/me! keep up the good work! good luck and god bless!

oh shit. THAT is one hell of a justu. The ultimate suicide no justsu eh? But with that suped up Kage Bunshin Ino just discovered she had one HELL of an ultimate attack eh? Wow, I'm really impressed. I think the new thing about his Hokage line being that is also really , I guess You're having Sakura get a little more attached as well? oh well, nohing but good things to say all around. Please keep up the awesome story. As of now, this is my favorite fic.

Great chapter! I liked the emotional reaction from Sakura. I'm a bit surpised to see that Tsunade and Shizune couldn't finish the course, while Naruto just smashes a rasengan through the wall and uses a very destructive jutsu for the last part. Surely, someone like the Hokage has something extremely destructive in her repertoire.

Anyway, please update soon.
