I loved this chapter so much! Honestly i’m itching to see minato and naruto find out each others past and relation but i know that some things need to be slow to actually be worth it.

Loved the tidbit of a kushina flashback! Very well done, with the parallel of pasta linking between past and present. Naruto’s reaction made so much sense- i want to see more (as sad as it is, it’s supser interesting)

Hoping to see more updates soon! Thanks

We left off on Naruto’s birthday! When is Minato getting his head out of his butt and learning Naruto’s name?

Good chapter! Now we know the name of Kushina's killer. But now I'm really curious. This chapter was a "calm before the storm" sort, right? Keep up the good work. :)

No! Cliffhanger! How cruel.

I can’t wait until the next update!

Awh, Naruto and the spaghetti flashback was something else. Re-read that part twice, especially the part where Kushina was rationalizing staying with Kurama. It’s so sad, especially later in the chapter when Minato also missed playing with Kushina’s hair... Let them be happy! Great writing!

Thanks for the update. I remember reading this when it was only a few chapters in... glad to see you’re still working on this! I look forward to future updates!

I'm so happy you are still working on this story! It's one of my favorites.

This story is absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait for more!

Marvellous indeed!

Oh my gawd! You updated! I just read through the whole story again. I really hope you update again soon. I just love your characterisation skills and the way you are descriptive but still get the job done. Thanks so much for the great read. I can't wait to see more interaction between Naruto and Itachi.

Best wishes,
Naruto Meowzers

So glad youre finally getting back into this story! It's SO good to have you back, and II can't wait to see what happens next!

why must you cliffhanger :

Ah, Asuma still has his daddy issues.

Obito's job is perfect! And him being Sasuke's crazy uncle is great. Love seeing Sasuke able to let loose a little. And Sakura's POV is so insightful-seeing him as a person rather an idea, dang, she's so smart and self-aware!

Poor Naruto...

Oh, I feel for Kushina. What a sad life just because she wasn't able to find the place or get the opportunity to work at the place where her personality was appreciated. I think she would have been a great teacher, but that has qualifications she hadn't the money to study for...

What HAPPENED with Kurama? Was Kushina that blind to his faults? Did Kurama just, like, suddenly find out that Kushina loved someone else this whole time? Then he shot a gun for it? Or wait, he was fine at first and got more abusive over time, but by then Kushina was too attached to and too dependent on him?

Love your writing style! Looking forward to more!

And seriously, just 1/4? What a wild ride we are in for. I'm already buckled up!

(I know that sounded way too dorky, but I'm leaving it in the hopes that it'll make you smile.)

Omg, you updated! Dude I've been waiting, thank you! I've got to reread now because I'm honestly lost lol!

fuvdisvdopacodeovmvjgjfkd YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! You can't believe how excited I was when I saw this updated! This just made my day! So many exciting things in this chapter I can't wait to find out more! Good Luck!

This chapter answered one of my big questions, is Naruto Minato's son in this AU. And I have to say I am liking how this story is turning out! Looking forward to your next chapter!

So its been a good while since your note...nearing a year - just curious how long it will take for this story to be updated? Excuse my impatience i just really love this story and you are just so marvellous at writing!
