What a great chapter ! I really love the love story of Anko and Naruto. I believe like you that Anko is hiding her true self just like Naruto. This chapter made me cry. I always wanted to be loved myself but never could find anyone.

First off, you write one excellent Anko x Naruto story! I know at the beginning of this chapter you stated doubts about whether it would be possible for them to be together . I believe that it is. Here are my reasons why. Both Anko and Naruto outcasts. As such, no one else can understand that pain without goin through it yourself. So this allows them to connect with each other better than anyone else can. Both have similar personality quirks. Both are passionate, fun loving and impulsive. Both hide their true feelings behind a mask. Finally both are named after food. Due to the masks they use I would see some trouble with them breaking the ice at first, but once they realize how much in common they have, not to mention how hungry both are for real love and Anko and Naruto will be inseparable. Those are my thoughts.

And this chapter ruined everything he has worked for. He is no longer just Naruto but now the fourth hokage's son. He should have stuck with the Uzumaki name it has a longer history and a greater honor then that of Namikazi.

So far so good

So far so good

This fanfiction has not been updated since 2010, too bad.

Does this story have a closed ending by any chance?

Is the end?

why does Naruto feel like a Mary sue in this story

To be honest everything you said at the beginning about Anko makes sense. The crazy sadistic Anko is a mask over the real Anko who is hurting and yearning for acceptance and love. Just like Naruto acts loud and goofy to cover his pain. This is why I always say they are perfect for each other.

Let’s try this again. I think canon Anko and Naruto actually would get along and fall in love. First Anko is known to be a student of a evil traitor Orichimaru. And in canon the village will hate anyone with a bad stigma like that, ask Naruto. Next both use masks to hide what they are really feeling. Also both are fun loving,impulsive and dress to attract attention to themselves. Any conflict will arise due to their facade because of the pain neither will show the feelings easily. Once the ice is broken I see them getting married. I know some may complain about the age difference, but really? There is only ten year difference between them. Couples are formed despite that all the time in our world,sometimes with greater time difference. After all look how many Naruto x Tsunade love stories are out there. Barely any complaints about those right? So yes I think Anko would be the best love interest for Naruto. Only a few others would compare, definitely NOT Sakura.

I am surprised that there are so few Naruto and Anko stories. I have to say that I strongly disagree with your statement about the canon version of those characters not getting along. There will definitely be some friction but I am sure that they would be in love. Time to explain why. First we must remember how the population of the Leaf village responded to negative stigma such as being a jinchuuriki. Now also remember

What is this with almost all authors claiming Sasuke was talented! He was not. Mediocre at best he was. That's the reason he was so close to Itachi and not Fugaku

I really like this portrayal of Anko, the betrayed and hurting woman who uses a mask of sarcasm and toughness to hide behind. As far as the age difference, I see no problem with it. In our world people get involved with the same or greater age difference so I don’t un

Good chapter. I am hoping that Anko will love Naruto.
