I read this story so many times and each time I get to this chapter im in tears. Katashi you will be missed, ik I miss you. I salute you ayien.

This is an amazing story mainly because it seems so real a nd lifelike you dont over exaggerate you simply just put it as how one would be treated in their position. Unlike some fanfics this all seemed real. They wouldn't be all happy and healthy with a lot of money good teachers and become really strong. Oh no they would be hungry and alone as missing nin their only comforts being one another. They would hAve medical conditions and because of the situation they would have to get stronger. Not to impress someone...

Just to survive

I didn't want to-to continue reading this chapter. I wanted to stop. To never find this story. To never remember. I was already shedding tears foreshadowing that Katashi was probably going to die. I felt like I was Naruto holding my brother in all but blood in his last moments. In the end I sobbed. I gnashed my teeth trying to stay silent. It's raining outside and listening to 'Do You Wanna Build A Snowman' doesn't help. Katashi wormed his way into my heart even though he isn't real. For a moment I felt as though I was there- as Naruto. I couldn't stop myself forming finishing the chapter. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh wow, the story is great, the OCs are amazing and this is great and wow and I really hope this is continued.

Two chuunin jinchuuriki intimidating a kage into submission. Yeeaaahhh...no. Gonna have to drop this fic, since despite the quality of writing it looks like one where the consistency of the worldbuilding will repeatedly be sacrificed for plot expediencies.

Eh. Technically, the quality of the writing is very high, which is what initially drew me to this fic, but there are some issues I'm not sure I can look past. Naruto just taking the Kyuubi at his word about having to leave Konoha was completely unbelievable, but it's the basic premise of the fic, so okay, whatever, I can forgive that to see how the rest turns out. However, Kakashi getting his ass handed to him by a partially transformed Gaara is frankly retarded, and if the rest of the fight scenes in this story are as unbelievable as this, I'll have to pass.

God, this is so tragic and so beautiful.

I wish more than anything that this was updated! You have fabulous writing skills.

T-T Such a sad fic...but I can't help but read it. Please update soon. Poor Katashi... T-T

This story is so beautiful. How do you write such amazing chapters! Love everything about it, though I had an emotional attack when Katashi died.
Even if you don't update anymore it's still a (don't know how to descibe it) wonderful story.

Interesting.

I feel disappointed in Team 7 for not asking Naruto to elaborate on the whole "leaving to keep the village safe" thing. Even if they thought the Kyubui was lying and manipulating Naruto (which, to be honest is pretty darn likely given what they know of it), he could have told them about the Akatsuki. Naruto wouldn't even had to have told them his plans involving the other tailed beasts.

Argghhh! Okay, mind change again, no this is second, in the 'its damn good department', but first in the emotional department pushing 19? (where they arrive in the village) to 2nd. Those last 3 scenes (4 if you count the fact there's no break between telling them his decision and finding the others in his room) especially, but the whole chapter as a whole too, was making my eyes wet and throat tight dammit! How the hell do you manage to describe (no describe's not strong enough a word!) the emotional responses and effects so bloody well?

and actually this one is a very close second...

emotionally charged chapter there, like this the most as its all in Kakashi's pov! But I'd also have to say this is my fav chapter so far. Also interesting to see the gates be opened one by one again and the others see for themselves all the jinchuuriki and the evidence of their differences and lives.
