Please update. I'm dying over here!

When will the next update be? We're dying...

I can't wait for the next chapter to unfold! I want a jealous Sasuke ヾＯ

I know I already reviewed but I’m literally dying for the next chapter. Please update soon!

Argh! What an effin’ cliffhanger *pulls hair*
Wow! This gotta be one of the most exciting chapters ever! And the fact that I have to wait almost a month for the next chappie!
The intimate moment between Gaara and Sakura is equal parts endearing and humorous, and it displays the delicate balance of their personalities. Gaara, ever the composed and strategic leader, reveals a surprisingly cheeky and audacious side, leaving Sakura adorably flustered. The contrast between his deliberate confidence and her reactions—ranging from reluctant compliance to fiery embarrassment—is downright delightful. I love it especially because it shows their evolving relationship dynamics: Gaara's newfound comfort in expressing affection and Sakura’s growing ease in reciprocating. Yet, the comedic interruptions, especially Naruto's unwittingly catastrophic timing, are the cherry on top! Poor Sakura can’t seem to catch a break, and Gaara’s subtle, knowing smirks only make it harder for her to stay composed. Naruto is really a buzzkill! I dunno if it’s him or Katsuyu-sama that takes the cake!
The moment encapsulates the blend of warmth, tension, and humor that defines their relationship. It’s as if even in the midst of a war, love finds a way to sneak in—though perhaps it should find better timing! You almost feel bad for Naruto, oblivious to the chaos he caused, but not enough to stop laughing at Sakura’s internal monologue and Gaara’s sly antics.
Now where will Sasuke fit in all these? I have some guesses, but his reappearances definitely will add more layers of complexity to the plotline. He could offer critical information or assistance, but his terms might create friction among the leadership, especially if he demands autonomy or special treatment (wouldn’t put it past him really). Hate to say this, but if Sasuke attempts to reconnect with Sakura or hints at past feelings, it could test her loyalty and Gaara’s trust. This could lead to heartfelt moments of reaffirmation between the two. Remember what Katsuyu said before that ultimately, Sasuke is the only rival for Sakura’s hand. But Gaasaku all the way here! His reappearance could be a start of his redemption, particularly if he sacrifices something significant for the war effort. This might bring closure to Sakura and allow her to fully embrace her future with Gaara. My gosh! It gets more and more exciting!

I am glad they told each ither they loved each other before Sasuke showed. I hope we get to see a very Sasuke manor of jealousy..

Amazingso keen to see what happens with Sasuke’s arrival.

Sasuke

God do I smile when you update because it means it’s my chile time when you do.

I really like the dynamic between Gaara and Tsunade in this chapter. It’s quite entertaining. The way Tsunade teases Gaara, a normally stoic and serious character, adds a bit of humor and lightness to what is otherwise a serious context of war and politics. It’s also fun to see how Gaara, who’s not used to showing emotion, gets flustered by Tsunade’s comments, especially when she hints at his relationship with Sakura. The banter makes their interactions feel more human and relatable, even in the midst of tense situations. It almost feels like Tsunade is giving her blessings to Gaara and Sakura’s relationship! This interaction with Kakashi is really intriguing. His tension with Tsunade over his connection to Obito adds a layer of mystery and conflict, but the way Kakashi stays calm and collected while Tsunade pushes him to reveal more about his past with Obito is slightly disconcerting since I have always viewed Kakashi as a level-headed shinobi. One can feel the weight of Kakashi’s personal history and how it connects into the larger war. His reluctance to share too much about his relationship with Obito shows his inner conflict, and it’s interesting to see how Tsunade doubts his intentions, even though he’s proven his loyalty time and again. It really captures the complexity of his character—calm on the surface, but carrying a lot underneath. Wow. I can feel the war about to get more serious than before, it’s kinda scary!

Loved the chapter and even finished the full chapter on AO3. There was so much more to the full chapter on AO3 that i believe some of your readers will get confused if you don’t upload it fully for fanfiction.

An update! Yay bless your soul! Been waiting for this! I love this fic for so many reasons, GaaSaku goodness being the main one. It evokes different emotions from its depiction of war (and finding love in the midst), intervillage politics and such, but I do really enjoy the lighthearted moments. I mean there is no shortage of good humor in many chapters by different characters: Tsunade, Naruto, Kakashi, Katsuyu, Temari and Kankuro, etc. There's good balance. I really do not like to read just about war as its too heavy. Kankuro is really so funny hahaha and I find it even funnier that I can totally imagine him like this in canon. Gaara and Sakura need a good laugh from him and Temari. Alright I am off to Ao3 for the 'real' goodness lol

oh my god, youre alive!

I have always said this to my favorite authors whenever I reviewed their stories, and I will say the same to you, dear author. No matter how I wish for frequent updates because I immensely enjoy this story, your personal comes first. There is no need to apologize. In fact, you do not owe us readers anything; hence, I am personally thankful that you take time to write updates for us. Kage knows, if it were me, I would't be able to juggle writing whilst having a full time job, and I'm single huh. Life is hard enough as it is hahaha. But seriously, thank you for choosing to continue this fic, and thank you for the updates. I'd like to leave a review here, but I remember I already left one on AO3. Hehe

Matsuri doesn't know how to quit. What a shallow character! One big reason she would never be Kazehime (besides the fact that Gaara doesn't like her), but the way she thinks of the position as something to please Gaara and Gaara only, and absolutely nothing else. I really want Sakura to beat the hell out of her come the Kazehime trials. I am also curious about, Gaara and Sakura's baby...yes Mun. The way he was evolving to be more catlike, and the changes actually started with his eyes, right? The way they would look like Gaara or Sakura shade. Perhaps these changes would really offer more protection to Sakura. Naruto and Sai deserve to get punched all the time. Spending more time with them as teammates would surely make Sakura prematurely gray. Here, waiting for the "promise" of Gaara next chapter! Hahaha
