This is freaking brilliant! Angst is my favourite genre next to romance, and you just dominated the whole field! This was so beautiful!

I was on the verge of crying, but the only reason I didn't is because I have to show my face to a bunch of people in a moment and I don't want to look a mess.

I loved this! Your description had me on edge, and you barely described anything! It was that good!

You know, I was hooked since the summery. I sat here just thinking to myself, 'yes'. The Naruto franchise has so much room for angst that it's a pity I have a hard time finding angst one-shots for the fandom. But this is just. Yes. Just. Yes.

I love your writing style for this. Brilliant. It's such a realistic look, and from a not so main character too. All this is just right. Amazing job!

His story is something that should be filling many of the fics on this page, however, I think that is the first of its kind to read. I can not say that, see how far the human mind is broken, I like, however, I agree that I am amazed by his good illustration of the war. I congratulate you.

The realities of sending kids to war, dear God I feel so sorry for them

This was really good.

wow. scary. in a totally good way *o* I LOVE stories with genma (totally think he should appear more :x.. I tend to rewatch every episode with him ) Anywhoo, really good. Love it. Wish I'd seen it sooner! *-* Favourited xx

Epic. No seriously, beyond epic.

great story!

Beautifully written... again. The life of a ninja is harsh, it doesn't really get pulled off too much in the series except for at really pivotal moments. Creeping horror, if what it was. You can feel the emotions slide over you slowly, it's much more effective than a brick in the face xD

Wow, this was deep...and really good. Depressing, but good.

That confused me for some reason, but I liked it.

this is a morbid piece of work and with a character you hardly see protrayed. it was insightful and very well written. good job.

That was an interesting story. Short and to the point, with plenty emotion to give it a good kick. I wasn't sure what was going on at first and I'll admit I almost gave up reading. I'm glad I stuck to it though, because your fic was simply fantastic in a dark, horrific kind of way. Good job. _

All I can say is: Wow. I would not be able to do what you did here. It's deep, it's disturbing. Kudos.

ah, what an amazing little oneshot! loved it!

Horrible, terrible. Reality.
