Thank you for writing this work, it perfectly explains why the main character wanted to die. I did not see any illogicalities in the plot, everything is written briefly and clearly.

This is one of those fics that doesn't matter whether it was written before the anime completed or not, and doesn't consider when it was written and how many years have passed. This is so good. The idea of immortality without a partner is put well together. If Naruto had his wife immortal too I don't think, he would want to die these many times. But, this fics is really well thought out and written. Thank you for this awesome One-Shot.

Oh my goodness, this was so much darker than I expected going in. Excellently written and a very thought-provoking piece, however. Thank you for sharing.

This is a very interesting read. A while ago, I posed this same question about 'immortality' to a few friends of mine and they all agreed that it would be horrible to live forever. The immortality I offered in my question was where your body would constantly regenerate but your consious was linked to the state of their brain, so if your brain was destroyed, you would be 'dead' until it regenerated. Hence, you could still die by sending yourself into a black hole. Even so, none of them accepted it, and this story is just proof as to why they were right.

But I loved how you weaved all the Naruto concepts into the story, made it very interesting.

It personally offends me how good that was. The pacing made that easily the best 'tragic immortal' story I've ever read!

Also, I only found this because someone recc'd it... as a fluff fic. _

Maaannn, you have a penchant for horror! Gave me existential dread while reading it, now if someone ever asks me if I would like to be immortal, my immediate reaction will be 'No! Bloody hell, just kill me already!'
Kudos.

Damn. This had me messed up for like 20 min in an existential crisis. Greatly written

yo this is bananas. I was like this is what a good dark naruto story looks like. I understand it's a one shot but gosh darn for the most part I was on the edge of my seat. I was confused a bit of why Sakura seemed so biter then I realized she must have known Sasuke was oredered to die if he tried to escape. Wish we are a bit kinder to sakura but i understand not everybody feels this way.

I jumped out my seat when Kisame said "I want you to live forever" and how impactful that was when you realize the pain of watching everyone you ever cared for lived until you know noone around you.

One of my caveats is why not just let Hinata marry Naruto instead of a rando. That would have shaken up the clan much more as she's a princess.

Also as we don't know how far brain cells can last, i would say with the mystical side of the anime in play and considering the Kyuubi has been living for THOUSANDS of years and remembers everything, why not just let Naruto remember everything as best as he can as well. Since we're using super powers and all.

Beautiful!

you should write a book

This is GOD DAMN rather... Dark as hell my man

adore this. it starts 'light' but it goes darker and darker, i love how you interpreted the'living sacrifice".

Incredible. I loved all of this.

This was linked in a reddit post about the saddest Naruto fanfic but this isn't sad at all...how the actual canon characters are disposed of is garbage and the OC's are boring, Naruto is beyond OOC. It feels like thinly veiled original fiction at best, which means that either you deeply missed the mark for Naruto or you shouldn't be putting this in the Naruto category. You are a talented writer and I hope you have found your calling beyond fanfic, or at least have re-read the Naruto manga before you utilize the characters again.

Your fic is one of the only ones I read constantly after finishing it
