huh...and here i was expecting it to be a case of her being a distant relation to the Uzumaki clan and that one in like, 10 people ended up having their hair changed because of something "activating" the bloodline potential.

Damn, I love how this was written. I don't typically ship Sakura with Naruto (mainly cause of the Tsundere thing and poor writing in the manga and show), but this really felt real and organic.

For a moment, I thought the twist was going to be that Sakura's family are secretly Uzumaki that had to go into hiding, but this makes much more sense. I really love the cherry blossom analogy, too.

I have read your Dark fic for NGE and Love Hina and I had no idea how you could write something so beautiful that wasn't also disturbing. Thank you so much for this fic! Thank you for letting me see a cute NaruSaku fic and congrats on being the first fic with the premise of NaruSaku being the entire concept that I have read and LOVED!

PFFFT

One of my fav Naruto/Sakura fics. Love the characterizations, nice work

It's definitely my favorite NaruSaku OS ! ️

Only Japanese cherry trees have been bred specifically to maintain thier pink hues, and not red, they've also been bred to not bare cherries, as a result.

This was adorable!

Lovely premise, and very well executed.

holy... i read this before but finding it again just made my day.

Although I found this a bit more interesting than some other NaruSaku stories, I have to call BULLSHIT on your claim of getting 1st place in the 2006 Great Heaven and Earth Fanfiction Contest, simply because THIS FANFICTION'S PUBLISH DATE IS A YEAR AFTER THAT CONTEST WAS HELD!

I generally don't enjoy SakuRuto, but this was really good. And I've always preferred red hair over . . . Ergh, PINK. Yuck. Pink is just weird. Not that the hair matters all that much, but it's the only reason why I've always preferred Karin to Sakura, even though they're really similar . . . in personality if not abilities.

Great Story! I loved the love story between the two of them - even if you had that hokey hair thing. It's kinda cute in a weird way. Of course, it doesn't fit with what her actual parents look like (her dad had the pink hair) but it is still great nonetheless. It's not like you knew what they looked like in 2007. Or that Naruto would end up with Hinata. Worst ending ever. Oh well, I hope that you are still writing and producing awesomeness! Thanks.

Cute.

Nice story.

That's so funny and really cute
