Hey! I've never commented here, but I wanted to leave a comment to show how much I appreciate this story ️ I'm rereading some fragments of "break to breathe" before moving foward the story and aaaah, the characterization is so good, everything is so good, the interactions... you remind us why shikaneji is an amazing couple!

I read this fic at 2014 during a family trip to a beach. I was so engrossed in it, I ended up enjoying the fic rather than the trip. Now that my english got a lot better, I have a better grasp on the plot and the story a lot better too. Sending lots of love to you dearest author, for sharing such a beautiful, wrenching, heartfelt story about this two amazing characters. I wish all the best in all your endeavours, especially in your writing career. You're truly a talented writer.. -jess

Best fanfiction ever written! 3

This is my favorite fanfiction ever. I still re-read it to this day. This is my fifth time reading it, I love it so much. It's so beautiful and heartfelt. I wish it never ended. :(

This is the best fanfiction I've ever read T.T

haha i took me like an hour to read but it was worth it

This has to be one of the best fanfictions on this site. I'm honestly in awe of how REAL this felt. This could've been a filler arc with how complex the missions and side characters were. You put us into an entire different world from cannon and it felt cohesive. The interactions between characters was top tier. I can't believe you wrote this for free. Genuinely THANK YOU!

Going to miss Hibari flirting with Sakura LOL

When you said something wet hit Neji's face I was assuming it was her tongue LOL thank god it was just tears

So complex yet such a simple answer at the same time. Neji has daddy issues. Bravo this is fucking BRILLIANT. his interaction with Kitori is just top tier writing. I can't get over how well this story is fleshed out.

I remember reading this over 10 years ago and reading this today it has definitely aged like a fine wine. How do you get everyone SO IN CHARACTER? Not just neji and naruto but EVERYONE. and the battles! I'm so glad I found this story again saved in my favorites

No puedo evitarlo , no se si llamar suerte haberme encontrado este libro antes de que quitaran su traducción de wattpad pero es que por muchas reseñas que le haga jamas encuentro las palabras suficienteS para expresar lo tanto que me gusta . releyendo una vez mas . y enserio hay que tener agallas por que valla que es inmenso . pero es que con cada lectura me enamoro mas de la historia y tu estilo de escritura . amo demasiado tu trabajo eterna admiradora

i kept thinking of that time that pakkun bit shikamarus leg and he shook him off
