so, ah, I really liked the story, and really, the plot is great, and, I don't know, maybe you can update this story please? It's awesome, great, interesting and I need more of this story because SakuraSanbi is extremely interesting and the premise of her in the middle of a journey and Kimimaru being a quiet guy and the writing is so good and logical without too much ooc or at least gives a logical reading and I love it, so, even if we're nowhere near 2022 and this was last updated in 2014, I would really like and support it a lot if you decided to update 3

Can I say just how much I love this story? The premise is very unique and engaging, the narrative pacing is balanced, the characterization is superb, and the story flows so well stylistically. I was so disappointed when I reached the last available chapter, and I sincerely hope that, time and interest providing, you'll consider continuing this. And if you ever continue this (or some of your other stories) but on a different site, please come tell us! Once and After is absolutely wonderful.

Besides what I've listed above, I think one of the things that I love the most is how the fork in the road (Sakura being sealed with Isobu) unites Team 7 earlier on in a way that they weren't in canon, leaving Team 7 to chase Sakura instead of Sasuke. And all the while Sakura is not (knowingly) a missing-nin. It makes me wonder how likely Sasuke is to fall to Orochimaru this time around, when he learns that Itachi/Akatsuki are now after not just Naruto but BOTH of his teammates. I also wonder how younger Sai's presence will affect Sasuke's future. Like, would Sai's mission be to get Sasuke through to the final exam, potentially leading to Sai to die against Orochimaru in the forest or else discover teamwork, or would he actually be under orders to make sure Orochimaru bites Sasuke? Despite not going on the Wave mission, Naruto and Sasuke have learned (greater) teamwork in their shared desire to bring Sakura back, but I wonder whether Naruto would still learn the "strength by protecting precious ones" nindo that he learned from Haku originally. His meeting and dynamic with Kurama could change, not to mention that he might not forgive Sai if Sai allows Sasuke to be knowingly harmed, since Naruto seems less inclined to forgiveness. And if both Sakura AND Sasuke leave the village, what would become of Naruto then?

So many wonderful butterflies!

I was excited when Sakura met Kimimaro with his own butterfly effects, and I can't wait to learn who else might join their party in the future and what their butterfly effects are. I'm also interested in whether or not anyone else might find Sakura's carved message at the forest temple. My current bets for new party members are Deidara, Haku, and/or Utakata. I can't see Kimimaro and Sakura not having to fight to defend themselves in the future (particularly when Akatsuki begins hunting bijuu), and I feel like an addition like Deidara would allow for advanced ninja training, Haku could be another soul who is talented but would rather not fight, and Utakata could be a jinchuriki mentor for Sakura. Not to mention that having a second jinchuriki in the group would make it that much more difficult for Akatsuki to claim them.

The parallels of Sakura and Rin were interesting (not to mention that Sakura was taken because they thought that she was an Uzumaki). We saw some of the effects on Kakashi, but I can't help but wonder how Obito reacted to such a comparison. Perhaps anger that Sakura survived when Rin did not?

I love so much that Sakura's mother is the daughter of a syndicate boss and that Sakura knows her way around shady dealings. I can't wait to see if/when that syndicate family plays a role, either after Sakura finds her parents or perhaps by her parents trying to find Sakura if they miss each other. I wonder what that deal was about, and whether anything was stored inside the puzzle box.

Can I also say I loved the medical staff with that anti-Kakashi nurse? They added so much to the fabric of the background while realistically providing a window for Sakura to skip town since Kakashi's sedated.

I love that you're weaving folktales within the story, too. I've only heard of these peripherally, so I'm really interested to see which ones and how others will be included later.

I'm a little sad that Sakura missed a good bonding chance with Naruto, but it makes me wonder why, if she realized that it was dangerous to be used as a jinchuriki, she didn't consider taking Naruto with her to keep him from being used likewise. Was it because she didn't think that Naruto would be used like she would, if everyone believed Kurama to be dead instead of sealed inside of Naruto, thereby making Naruto safer without attention drawn to him? Or did she just not make that connection in her haste to leave?

Does Isobu's nightmare figure of Obito mean that he's still under some of his genjutsu's influence?

So many wonderful things going on! Again, interest and time allowing, I really hope that you'll consider continuing this. It's so engaging and with such a unique premise that it would be a shame if it wasn't continued. Still, thank you so much for sharing what you have, and I hope that you're doing well and keeping safe right now! Whatever projects you're working on right now, happy writing, and thanks for a wonderful read!
