Despite how old this fic is. It’s still so popular and more and more recursives are being written and the fan base keeps growing

As far as colors for clothing, orange makes far more sense then black for a ninja. The best Camouflage in hidden leaves is green, because, y'know, trees and grass and stuff. Orange is much closer to green than black and would have easier time meshing in. Hell, why the hell no one criticize in fanfics the blue part in Naruto's clothes? Its far worse for a shinobi's camouflage, yet nobody cares about that. Blue is just cooler, I guess.

Also, military clothes in some countries also have *some* orange on them. Not so bright, but it is useful in deserts and stuff.

Bleh, I'm not a fan of the shadow clones giving their memories back to the original. Mostly because of how overpowered it is. Naruto could probably become the next Hiruzen in knowledge by the age of 15.

Not to mention that it makes everyone else look like total dumbasses. How didn't Kakashi and Jiraya not realize it? Makes no sense.

Finally came down to reading this. Sad that this is abandoned, but I'll still give it a try

So glad people are still writing fics based off this so I was able to find it and devour it

Hii, I read this fic for the first time as a wee little kid in highschool, a s have come back to read it now, almost done with a Masters degree. It's been almost a decade and its still as magical as the first time I read it. Really appreciate the thought and time and effort you've put into writing it, you've been the cause of many, many late nights of me thinking to myself, "just one more chapter"! I hope one day you'll come back to it it's so well written and planned. I especially love that Shikako so far has focused very much on herself without much romance. Ofc I don't mind it either way, much love to any and all of your brain worms, but what a refreshing take on a female main character right?

I really liked the relationship between Sasuke & Shikako and its do well written I swear.

Hello!

I really enjoyed going through this story. The additions you add to the world of Naruto are fascinating (even if they're not canon-adjacent-hooray for fanficiton!), Shikako is a fascinating character with a very cool if eclectic fighting style, and everyone is pretty in character even with the changes Shikako's influence brings.

It's a shame that so many ungrateful people harassed you and discouraged your motivation to write this story. I'd be happy if you returned, but I totally understand if you just wanna move on with life. We are still quite a ways away from a resolution, after all.

Whether or not you return to this fic, I hope that you continue to write wherever you are!

this chapter is both great and terrible. it gives words to something difficult to describe. Apathy is alien like that.

i know this is late and all but i think Deidara would love Shikako's love for explosions

For the previous chapter:
Oh hey, it's the early days of FuwaMoco, heheheheh. I see they had even more previous twin roles than I thought.

This is my first review of this fanfic and I want to say that it is so cool.

I had a lot of conflicting feelings while reading it. At first, I admired how well it was written and how interesting it was to read the main character's thoughts, then when her social skills in communicating with peers were shown, I was a little unhappy, because I am the opposite in this regard and could not understand why it was so difficult (this is a feeling that is difficult to control, even with the understanding that people are different and the reasons for such behavior are also individual). But later it stabilized and I just accepted the character of the heroine as such and got used to it :)

But in this chapter... I felt a little incense and respect for the first time. The way the heroine teaches her teammates impressed me greatly, and inspired the idea that she is very similar to some sage or peace-loving monk.

I felt such incense because I wanted to have the same teacher or mentor in my life.

Wow, thanks for creating a character like our MC ('ᴗ')

Oh looky looky. Another mission so far above her pay grade that they shouldn't be getting. At this point she's gonna be a kage level genin. I wanna see her beat the eternal genin's ass. Resurrect his ass and kill him again bc that's the only thing that will make this story interesting.
