Well, I don't know where to begin. I was actually planning to give a review when I reach the end of the story, but can't help myself itching to write one now.

I don't know if anyone had pointed this out, but I'll just point things that bother me.

Well, first it kept bugging me how in the first three chapters Sakura said (in her mind ofcourse) that she hadn't seen Hinata for a long time and that she might want to gossip about her caught Neji kissing Tenten. And then two chapters later it was said that Hinata is dead. And Tenten is married to Neji. Oh well, I let that go thinking maybe you changed your mind.

Also the typos. I'm surprised no one pointed this out, though. It's Ichiraku, not Ichikiru. Also its Hyuuga not Hyugai, with double Us and without I. Technically, its Hyūga, but ū means double Us so if you want to write in in normal alphabetical then its Hyuuga. Also, it surprised me that you typed guards all wrongly. I was thinking that gaurds is a word, since I'm not a native speaker I had to google it I thought it was a word turned out its just a typo.

I also still don't get the plot, the timeline and scene keep jumping here and there I hope you'll edit it and put some lines to separate different scenes. I like it though despite the fact that I kinda don't understand where the story's going. Keep up the good work :)

P.S : I might leave a review again on chapter 20. Teehee.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY, the plotline is so original and you have such great backstories where we can see character and relationship developments build! HOPE YOU CONTINUE THIS

Please don't give up on this story! I still want to find out what happens next! Who is the village poisoner and where is Shikamaru? How are Naruto and Sasuke able to communicate long distance through dreams and why did they leave? Where is Lee in this story? Did he give up his infatuation and not care that Sakra is depressed even though he always claims she is amazing? Why hasn't Chouji been a part of the story if he nd Shika are supposed to be best friends ish?
Please finish this fic.
Sincerely,
Nicole

This is great! Honestly I love it! :) I get really sad though with the deaths but it just shows how much I'm really into this. Thanks for the update! I hope you continue to update soon enough :)

this story rocks..
I am fully drawn in...
marvelous.

wow... that first chapter is stunning...

Eu adoro essa história ela é escura e intensa, e como a cereja do bolo ela tem o shikamaru ! Eu absolutamente amo ele e a sakura juntos , mal posso esperar pelo próximo capítulo ! \o/

I've noticed it's been awhile since you've updated the fiction. I humbly beg/plead/ask/demand/requisition/petition/solicit/urge/beseech you to continue this fiction. I've fallen head-over-heels for it.

Lord, Sakura is going to kick Naruto's and Sasuke's asses when they return to her. "Bite me," that was hilarious. I died hardcore laughing at 3 am rolling out of bed. It was just fantastic.

She doesn't seem as freaked out about Shikamaru's absence and there hasn't been any real confirmation that she can feel him though the seal or communicate with him in any way, and in a few of the chapters I kinda had to guess as far as time placement went.

Overall, I love the story. It's heartwrenchingly beautiful. Tragedy mixed with hope and love. She's lost enough of them yet we still get glimpses of who they were to her though the flashbacks and memories. I love that writing style.

I love how she has a strong relationship with the Hyuuga clan. It's definitely different. Poor Hiashi and Hanabi.

Please update soon.

Really enjoyed the story the plot is interesting and I love how you describe the characters its fantastic, however sometimes I get confused whether it is in the past or your writing about a different character because everything is written together but overall I like the story. I hope Naruto isn't dead tho :( and hopefully him and Sasuke come back or we at least find out what happened to them, anyways good work and keep it up :D

Please update soon

I'm glad to see an update! I understand how hard it can be to get back into writing. I enjoyed the cathartic reunion between Hanabi and Sakura, and I giggled at the interaction with Sai. Thank you for sharing with us & very much looking forward to the next installment.

this is freaking awesome. The feels man... Read it all in one go, great job on the characters

I had to re-read this from the start to remind myself what's happened so far.

I am still loving this fiction and the update was great. I loved the interaction between Sakura, Kakashi and Hanabi, as well as Sakura and Sai. Great job!

I hope we get to see more ShikaSaku soon )

This is a really great story. I love the interactions between Sakura and Shikamaru, and how realistically you portray their future as nin. It's really well-done and I greatly enjoyed it. I hope that one day you are able to write more of it! Really, thank you for sharing it with us.

I Like, I Lust, I Love!Please Update Soon!
