Superb, awesome, amazing story! One of the best Naruto stories out there! Well explored concepts; realistic, believable development; absolutely loved your Sasori, Kabuto n Naruto interactions! ABSOLUTELY loved your Kabuto as Sasori's “lackey” instead of Orochimaru's hehehe... unusual? yeah, «a surprise to be sure but a welcome one» hehehehehe Well done, u should write more stories 3

Great story! Can't wait for the next update!

I loved every word of this story, it's sad that it would end like this but understadable.
Thank you for giving closure, not everyone does.
P.S. sorry for any mistake, english is not my first language.

I really wish you would have completed the story. It was really nice. However, such a high-level fight and nobody dies? The summary you gave makes it look very interesting.

Maybe you should consider writing a sequel. Maybe it will inspire you better than this story. Did anyone pick up this idea?

This is an awesome story. I really liked the plot, characterization and the world-building. The story kicks off well, gives Naruto the growth in the right manner. It is not very slow but doesn't spend time on boring stuff.

shikamaru seems so ooc to me don’t know why

Hands down. I'm totally impressed at this fanfic! I love all interactions between the characters here, especially Sasori and Naruto. At first I didn't give this fic much thought when i read chapter 1, but holy shit this is such a very well written fic!
I laughed so hard at this chapter, and it took me 2 hours to read these 6 chapters.

decent story but you misspell lose as loose a lot. Lots of random grammatical errors and some of the info like Kakuzu being a puppet master being just wrong kinda turns me off. I do like the plot tho, story was a decent little read

Awesome story.

I miss this story so much

This was absolutely phenomenal. Yeah, Naruto's strong enough that you might think he's getting overpowered, but at the same time, it's happening so gradually and because of all his training (not to mention that rather ingenious focus seal that might be spamming but is still pretty darn brilliant) that it actually makes sense. Just like how Sasori and Naruto don't hit it off immediately. Everything fits characteristically and, just as Naruto changes into a person different from canon, all of it happens gradually. The changes fit the changed characters within the story.

This is probably one of my favorite ripple-in-the-pond AUs, and not just because I'm a Sasori fan. What I loved the most: You weren't afraid to let the changes happen and mess with the timeline. Some of the things that happen (like the ending with Zabuza and Haku and the Hinata and Neji fight) tore me up, but yet I also don't feel, in those situations, that it COULDN'T happen. I loved the intrusion of Akatsuki into the Wave arc. I've read some other ripple AUs where the arcs don't really change and it gets boring-how is NOT supposed to change at all?-so I can't express how excited I became as I was reading and I realized that everything had changed so much that I had no idea of what was about to happen next. My best compliment that I can give you is that I had to fight to put this down due to sleep necessities.

I would have loved to have seen the conclusion written out just like the rest of the story, but I'm grateful to have a summary and at least know how it ends, which is so much more than most. I loved that Sakura started developing earlier, even if I was a little sad that she didn't learn healing, although she was learning what Kakashi could conceivably teach her. I loved that Sasuke didn't automatically win everything. I think there's definitely a good ground for Naruto leaving. I can't see Sasori NOT finding a way to steal Hinata's body and make a puppet from her. I'm also not too surprised that Sasori was able to waltz right into Konoha and stay undetected to set all of this off. I confess, however, that up until the end where Orochimaru was sealed away, I also was waiting for Kabuto to announce that he was Orochimaru's spy, so while I'm still not sure that he's not secretly Orochimaru's agent, I also like that I've found a story where he's Sasori's lackey instead of Orochimaru's.

Thank you for the absolutely wonderful read. I only wish there was a sequel. Best of luck on all of your future writing endeavors~

Damn, one of the best Naruto stories out there and I only found it 10 years after it was made. I will forever wonder how a sequel would go. I shall forever wonder what sasori pictured a human puppet as, and what naruto considers art

Que pena que você não terminou.
Mas eu gostei.

Well I have to say that I enjoyed your story to a great deal, I'm only a bit sad that you couldn't finish the last chapter. I'm grateful that you gave us a summary of how things would have played out, something a lot of writers don't do on this site.

I love the story, but I hate you now.
