Wait a damned second
Deidara says he doesn't have his clay
but Sakura grabs clay bags?

Hahaha Kisame in Nadeshiko was pretty amusing

I have no problems with this not being canon, after all canon is disgraceful in many ways. I'm just hoping for coherency and some halfway believable developments. I mean, for one, claiming that other nations aren't taking notice or accounting for a new, quickly developing hidden village? One created and formerly ran by Orochimaru? Yeah, real fucking believable

Well, there goes any hope of a plot that's actually plausible. What a joke, either I''m about to find that the Akatsuki's origin, purpose, and members are all hugely different or there's plot holes the size of a continent here

How could Sakura possible not give consideration to that letter and what the money entails!?

"World peace through the means of tailed-beat coercion."

A good beat fixes all the world's problems. Killer B will be so happy to hear that.

I've read this 4-5 times now, and in my honest opinion, I think this is one of the best fan-made fictional stories I have ever read. It's just so captivating and every time I need a good strong-Sakura story I keep coming back to this. Anyway Otokage is always highly recommend in my books!

well done. :D

my god, you gave her Naruto's "paradigm shift" jutsu.

I am on the edge of my seat, lip between my teeth gnawing away as I read and then I get hit in the solar plexus with that joke...
the snort/laugh/hiccup/squeak almost killed me.
I aspire to your skill with word and sentence!
:D

hehehe... i love that they are all defecting to Oto.

I am loving the smooth sailing in this. Every once in a while it's great to just read something smooth and happy.

This was a very satisfying read. I really loved this story! I may have to read other fics you have written.

This was a very good story. Thank you!

I have read this story over and over the past couple years. But the author's note at the end of this chapter makes me laugh everytime
