great fic

Nice chapter. So will Naruto finally be able to go search for Tsunade? Actually will Naruto still be in team 7?

Hopefully Naruto gets a new team. Why Sakura would punch the Jinchuriki is questionable. Seriously, I do not like Sakura much. It's a good story though.

Nice, a very enjoyable chapter!

Nice ending for this arc. And Sakura seems just the same as ever... Poor Naruto. I'm looking forward to the "Peacemaker" arc!

love it :O

Keep at it and it will come straight into my favs xD.

...The issue between Team 7 went over a little quicker than I expected. But nice update I guess. :)

I'd have thought that Naruto would have, despite his immense heart and optimism, been more hurt at Sakura's reaction, as normal as it was. Maybe I'm just one angry kid lol xD. It just seemed like a big issue that got covered up a bit too easy.

But I dunno how you're going to continue, so I wish you luck and hope you'll continue writing. xD

Another very good chapter. I look forward to reading what happens next in your fic.

SD: I wonder what could happen next, but knowing Naruto it could be anything.

Nice work.

This is the only Naruto fic I still keep track of. I always enjoy each new chapter that gets posted, and it makes me very glad to hear that you plan on continuing this story! You seem to treat both Naruto and Shikamaru with respect, and I'm really looking forward to whatever new adventures you will have them go on!

Your story is well written, better than mine. But one advice, get on with it. You have dilly dallied too far into far reaches and made it all training. need plot twists and action. The hyuuga factor was a nice start but that should have ended 10 chapters ago. Start picking up the pace.

I can't wait to read more when it's available. I hope that everything will be alright for the two, and I hope that you will have some missions for them! Update soon!

Please update soon.

I love the way you've made the story twist with something unexpected as well as place little tastes of what could happen. Keep it up!

love the story keep it coming

I just read your whole fic and I'm amazed. It's a very nice story about Shikamaru's and Naruto's friendship, a topic where you can't find too many good stories about. So naturally, your fic went to my favourites list and I'm hoping you'll update soon.
