Beautifully written. beyond words amazing!

God Sakura haters TAKE THIS! She just kicks ass without trying..

God I DO HATE THOSE IDIOT PERVERTS looking at Sasuke's woman!

I love. It's nice to finally have Sasuke's thoughts during the manga. Thank you.

How is this story so perfect?

Thank you so much for these Sasuke's thoughts! also this last chapter is making me emotional and satisfied !

LOVE IT! The ending was hilarious tho . XD

I love Karin's perspective!

That was great I think you wrote Sasuke's rage wonderfully ,that hug scene in FOD .

Great fic!

Not gonna lie I'm dying at what I'm assuming is autocorrects change of Sasuke to Seasick. I adored this chapter and getting to see an outsider's perspective to how Sasuke reacts around Sakura. I love this little anthology? and got to see how things have progressed!

I really enjoyed reading this story. I liked seeing Sasuke’s thoughts about Sakura. The last few chapters had me in tears. I loved the ending to this.
Thanks for writing such a beautiful piece of fan fiction.

Damn, girl, your fanfictions are pure gold... I just love your writing style and the way you analyzed their relationship from the mere beginning till the very end... I dunno, I'm just fuckin' in love with all of your works quite frankly but this one hit the bullseye right on. You just have a way of describing the characters' inner turmoils without turning them ooc and I can't help but think that your giving Kishi a run for his money regarding the way he left the pairings. Naruto might have been a story about ninjas and battles at first glance, but in reality it's a story about bonds. The importance and necessity of bonds. And although many people tend to see it as fanservice, Sasuke and Sakura's relationship is every bit as important as the one Sasuke has with Naruto. Both sasusaku and naruhina deserved some real development in my opinion, not just kids and pretty words... and a shitty movie. While Naruto was the one that pulled Sasuke out of the darkness, I do believe that Sakura played an important role when it came to his redemption. Although she had nothing to do with his sins, I am pretty fuckin sure she's a big part of the reason why Sasuke wanted to seek redemption in the first place. Naruto's, Sakura's and even Kakashi's combined trust in him made him want to go try and prove worthy of it. Because I think he finally came to accept (I'm pretty sure he knew it all along) that Team 7 loved and cherished him every bit as strong as his true family, as Itachi did. And talking about bonds I must say I really liked how you handled Naruto's feelings regarding Sakura...I'm sorry, but that rival bullshit in the last just didn't cut it out for me. I do believe that Hinata and Naruto were meant to be, they complement each other, but I just don't understand why they felt the need to discard Naruto's from-fuckin-jupiter-apparent love for Sakura. Hell, Sakura even said it in the movie: a girl's feelings don't just go away so easily. I don't think it's any different for a certain boy named Naruto who cherishes bonds more than anything. And he did love Sakura, his bond with her was not some 12-years-long platonic love, born from rivarily. He loved her romantically all the way and was jusg that strong and selfless to come to the conclusion himself, that he couls never give her what she yearned for. And that's life - you get hurt from precious people even if they don't intend to, you take your time, recover and move on. And if your just that lucky, love and happiness may just be shyly hiding around the corner with blushed cheeks. I really like the way you portraited Naruto's undersranding and the way he overcame the rejection...because that's just who Naruto is, that's the strongest feature in his character. He understands, overcomes, forgives and loves without ill-feelings, that's what makes him so inspiring... and sadly enough so hard to come across in real life. And forgive me for rambling again, but your stories just tend to have that effect on me, because you do the characters I've come to love juistice and I can't explain how content that makes me feel...

What a wonderful exploration into the confrontation in the Forest and the way Sasuke and Sakura felt about each other back then when they were young.

You definitely captured Sasuke's violent, enraged side when payback was on his mind, as well hint that maybe Sakura could be the one in the end to save him from the darkness.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work
