Characters in this story are ON POINT! Great job!

This is an amazing story and Im sad you wont continue but at least the romance was starting to happen! Would love it if you decided to continue but understand if you wont :) you're such a great writer

Well, that was interesting and surprised Naruto didn't call her Sakura-chan though but oh well.

I don't know how I ended up here; I haven't read Naruto fanfiction in years let alone my OTP Narusaku, certainly not since that laughable manga ending. Something in this past week or so has prompted me to distract myself with younger past times.

This was a story that I recalled reading many, many years ago and, if memory serves me, I regarded it as one of my favorites... though I couldn't tell you if I had reviewed/faved it under my then-active FFNet account.

Not all fics age well, lord knows I've revisited old faves after half a decade and found myself utterly confounded as to how I sat through them. But this fic is probably more enjoyable now than it had been for me when it was first being posted. So I wanted to commend you on both a well-written fic and one that has stood against the test of time.

I'm not sure if it's completed, because I'd be satisfied with it ending on this chapter regardless of whether it would (and could) go on several more chapters, but I wanted to let you know that this fic kept me entertained this past week and filled me with such nostalgia that I remembered what I loved about the NaruSaku pairing. I remembered what I liked about the characters as individuals and what they could be together; everything the chapters and chapters of canon development could amount to. I feel fulfilled and giddy like I haven't in a long time since reading self-indulgent otp fics.

I also adore the way you write them. You've captured their canon essence and developed them into their ages and into their relationship. From their tailored conversations to their personal biases and flaws, the way they approach their goals and how they lean on each other... it all melds together seamlessly to create a rich, character driven story. A thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable story.

It's also refreshing to see our Sakura back. Our kick-ass, grown, worthy-of-loving Sakura.

If I didn't say it nearly ten years ago, then I'll say it a decade late: thanks for writing this.

Just finished reading the latest chapter. I wasn't going to continue after I realized that it hadn't been updated in years, but the writing was so good that I decided to continue it anyways. Even though it's disappointing that it was abandoned it was still incredibly enjoyable to read and well worth the time.

i didnt want it to end. I dont want this to end. youre amazing this is magical. I keep on smiling when these two dorks are interacting. please continue it. please please please.

This is the second time I am reading your story and I would really like you to continue and finish it...

This story is quite amazing with how seem less the plot is flowing and how the relationship between Naruto and Sakura is growing. Exceptional Story and I hope that you update soon

I just love me the playful banter between Naruto and Sakura.

Nice work! Hoping for updates, and hopefully soon :)

Thanks for a great story keep up the good work

awesome storyline... finish it...!

You truly have a special talent. I hope to see an update sometime soon:)

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

i read this for a day and a half.

i thought it was completed.

ITS 2014
please update

i loved the story. so much that i ignored the fact i have finals and did not study.

anyway. i dont know what to say

i love you for writing the story
i hate you for not updating.

and i am in no position to lecture you, because i didnt update my story too. so yeah...

Oh my god, that wait was definitely worth it. I was so surprised with how smoothly you had Sakura realize that she should seize the day and live in the present in this chapter. Her cancelling the debt and asking him out instead was just so wonderful I think I had to stop and squeal cause it was that cute :)

I'm glad the plot is also going well and picking up again. The first few chapters felt a little lost (with regards to the plot), well, at least to me. But it definitely picked up during the 'Hisao Ito arc.' You write the action scenes really well. And did you know I was kinda kicking myself for just seeing this now? I mean combination of plot well-paced romance is a gem. I'm also so glad that you're still active when it comes to updating, I'm so looking forward for more now that Naruto and Sakura are in a mutual understanding in their relationship.

I'd like to mention that I absolutely love the chapters where Naruto's adjusting back in Konoha. The fiasco with sexy photos made me laugh the most. It was so adorable I swear. I think it's also great that you put in the part where there were still lots of people with doubts on Naruto's skills in Hokage-ship. I'm glad it's being tackled in this ship. Oh, btw, I love your OC Mari. The mixture of scarily blunt pointing out the obvious feisty makes me want to see more of her. In all of my fanfic-reading life, she's probably the only OC that I really, really love. I so want to see more of her and her snarkiness. I guess it's a good thing Sakura's mentoring her now? :)

Anyway, sorry if this seems more like a long rambling than a review. But I really love this fic, really. Hope to see more of this (and Naruto Sakura) soon! :)
