I loved this!
The last chapter was sentimental - it plucked at all the right heart strings and it gave me a warm and bittersweet feeling
And haha the first two chapters were great!
It was funny to see everyone having fun over such silly things haha!

I found this way at the bottom of my favorites and reread it just now. It's as beautiful as I remembered it being. Thank you for it.

Oh shit, that last paragraph was just heartbreaking. What have you done to me.

hahaha i always wondered about this

I laughed out loud a few times. I love your explanation on why the Akatsuki wear nail polish, by the way. Great job!

Oh my god noooooo that was such a good ending! Props to you for a good idea, and even better execution.

*snerk*

Damn you! 'Come on in! Lighthearted romp full of fun and frisk. Just friends here.' Yeah, right. More like a sucker punch to the solar plexus. Good thing typing doesn't require oxygen.

It's funny how Naruto's exactly right about Sasuke and how he poses when he cries - finding a nice rock on a shore when the sun's setting, and while the wind's blowing his hair he'll cry into the sunset and once he's done, he'll say someting really cool, like: From now on, we our no longer Hebi. We are Taka. Taka has only one goal - to destroy Konoha.

Love this story! Keep it up!

Looks like I was deceived. xD I did not get the structure right at all.

What I got was an amazing heartfelt analysis of such a little detail used to demonstrate a brotherly bond. Loved it! :)

I think I got the structure here:

Chapter 1: Set up.

Chapter 2: Set up.

Chapter 3: Punchline

You're more the dry, character induced humor sort of person. I like it, gives you're writing a... breezy quality? Keeps it light.

I like the further explanation you go into the lines on Itachi's face. The possibilities are so varied, and so interesting. You gave each one definite thought. That's what I like about you, I can already tell you're a detailed, careful person.

On a lighter note. I laughed when you made a quip about Naruto's crying habits. He does seem to do that a lot. xD

Pffftt! Only Deidara would say those lines on Itachi's face are as a self-expression of pain.

I laughed when they revealed it was Itachi who suggested the nail polish and Kisame memorizing the reason so he could convince himself everyday. XD

Oh! I forgot to mention that I also headcanoned your explanation of the fingernail polish the Akatsuki wear, as given by Kisame. It just makes perfect sense, lol. And Kisame being able to recite Itachi's reasoning perfectly because he's been trying to convince himself every day since that it's all good and logical, hahah.

Did Itachi just lean on the fourth wall there when he said he was meant to look like the bad guy? Somehow it makes sense coming from him.

Nice, emotional story.
