when reading this I get serious deja vu. I dont think you wrote this.

I am confused to how Christmas exists in the Ninja world... was Jesus Christ a ninja?

Ack! They r too young for that!

I mean they shouldn't be french kissing, nah, but puberty does hit that early.

To those being asses in the comments. I hit puberty at 10 years old so yes, it is possible.

Christmas? Was Jesus Christ a japanese ninja? Where's the holy land?

I think Gai sounds kind of like Thor in this story... now that I really think about it. hehehee :D

Umm... to those in the comments... yes, they are kids. But I guess no one's ever heard of early puberty. It all makes sense now. Itachi's early (3 year old kind of early) mental maturity. There had to be some physical catalyst... right?

Anywho... I really wish I was Sakura right now.

I think this story is good so far. I'm kind of disappointed that you haven't spent much of these early chapters (second chapter at the very least) going over her struggles with her blindness. It is as if she isn't blind at all.

Sakura literally became a slutty cum bucket in a one-half shouta sandwhich.

Skanktastically nasty

maybe replace the easily translatable words like 'hai' and 'iie' with their English counterparts. It will make the fic easier and more enjoyable to read without the random easily translated Japanese words.
The suffixes should stay, since they have cultural connotations that CAN'T be translated and it helps define characters relationships with each other in ways that English words don't or can't.
aside from that little thing, this fic is great! It's engaging and interesting, and the plot is exciting. I enjoy the complex yet simple dynamics between Sakura, Itachi, and Kisame. Jiraiya and Kisame's bickering always makes me smile. All in all, a great fic that I hope to see more of!

Hmm I don't really like this. Like this level of intimacy is too fast for me (SPOILERS!). Like for Sakura's and Itachi's first kiss it was really intimate but it was a kiss and they had chapters to properly develop and at much natural pace. With this chapter (and some chapters before), it's like Sakura just decided to have a fling with anyone now.
Like it took nearly half of the story (don't know the exact number of chapters) for Sakura to accept Itachi's proposal but took only a few chapters to accept Kisame's when Sakura never even showed any interest. Also take into account that Sakura rejected Itachi's proposals several times. It seems unfair to Itachi. Like a guy just comes in and is immediately accepted.
I have read a lot of romance/intimate and multi-love-interests fics so I'm okay with higher levels of intimacy and for the girl to have a lot of love interests. For Sakura to just accept and instantly go to the next level ruins her character for me. If I remember correctly, Sakura told Itachi to be selfish but to allow another person to court her is going against that. It's like the value of their relationship diminished.
Again I know this fic is already finished, but I hope the next chapters pace the romance better with Kisame if she ends up with him or both of the guys. Still hope it's just Itachi. Will continue reading.

I really like your story. How you added new characters but kept using them and not neglecting them which can be incredibly hard to do. I also really appreciate and admire how you wrote these stories even though you were busy with your studies.
I really enjoyed this, especially how Itachi's and Sakura's relationship developed. And how we see a vulnerable, emotional side to Itachi. Around halfway-ish of the story though you added Kisame into the mix and so far kept him. I love Kisame's character but because of how so many chapters and events were used to establish ItaSaku relationship I was really invested into their pairing. But then adding Kisame and making Sakura (SPOILER!) like him romantically (i think so far) kinda diminishes the value of their development and the integrity of Itachi and Sakura (for me).Like Itachi from the chapters I think would not have agreed to such an agreement of "sharing" or would have fallen for such a trap (he is a smart cookie). Also it took ages for Sakura to open up to Itachi and had more of like a sibling/friendly relationship towards Kisame. I feel like the romance went off course a bit.
I can accept your decision though since many probably really wanted a KisaSaku pairing as well or maybe you just wanted the story to go that way. You have that creative freedom and I respect that.
Maybe I'm saying this cause I'm strong ItaSaku supporter, or maybe because I think I have some points (I would like to think it's both).
Even though I know this story is finished I hope Sakura would choose Itachi in the end (I still have intentions of finishing this).

FINALLY!YESS!

Damn
