this is perhaps one of my favorite naruto fic ever. there's so many beautiful things about this fic. i really loved how you wrote team 7 (all of them!) with such chaotic energy, and beautifully you fit all their jagged edges together into a found family. this story is just so wonderfully written, and i feel very privileged to have followed it all these years. thank you!

aaaahhhhhh I love this story so much.
I think their dynamics are hilarious and also beautiful. I loved getting Sai's perspective on everyone in the end. Sasuke gave Sai some of that brutal honesty and it was awesome. I love these guys. Thanks so much for sharing this story!

Sakura is amazing. Flawless. I love how proud she was of Sasuke having a rational thought. Multiple in a row, even. A great day for Team 7.

That moment at the end is so emotional. But before that I laughed because they're all just so dramatic. I love them.

yes, I love that Itachi showed up to have a big-brother talk with Sasuke. I love that they both got their digs in. Itachi's aesthetic was pretty lame but, also, Sasuke's one to talk. Sasuke was affected by Itachi and Saskura and Kushina and Naruto himself, and chose to help. Be something more than a vehicle for vengeance. Wonderful.

I love cool, competent Sakura. Oh man. I was "away" from Naruto stuff for a while, but it's soo great to come back to this story. I love it so much The banter is hilarious. I'm impressed by how quickly Kakashi was able to leave Obito, but I could really feel his pain. I'm so excited that there are now several chapter I can binge. Thanks!

This was phenomenally artistic and aesthetically enrapturing! Sai worked together a wonderful rendition of his teammates, and his interpretation of their characters is positively heartwarming! It melts all the coldest parts of me. I like the hot/cold Obito pursuit. I like to imagine that Obito has an unwitting soft spot for Sakura but is unable to treat her delicately at all because she is a maelstrom of destruction that can hurt him and incapacitate him.
This chapter built upon Sasuke's last POV, and I love the Sai and Sasuke emotional bonding! For two cold-hearted murder monsters, it's nice to see them connect and relate. Sasuke saving Sai? Who would've thought! Their ability to understand each other is really something. It's nice to see Sasuke reciprocating Sai's efforts to build upon their camaraderie. Really, it's only a matter of time until Yamato succumbs to all of Team 7's brands of insanity and faces his own emotional demons.
If this story should ever continue, I would love to see where you would like to take it next! There's a lot of potential in an Obito rehabilitation in the village and any encounters with the jinchuriki and other Akatsuki members. Naruto could become friends with Kurama and make his own super secret jinchuriki exclusive club. Chapters from Yamato and Obito's POV would be great! As it is, this was an entirely satisfying read and kind of nostalgic! It was a pleasure to read this story in its entirety, and I regret not leaving reviews every chapter. Yet, here we are 100k words later. Thanks for the read!

Sasuke's emotional parallels to Naruto were a masterpiece. From Tsunade to Naruto and Sai to Sasuke, I love the feels here! And I didn't think we'd get any of Yamato in this story, but I'm glad he's getting some love too! Team 7 is endless love, and I'm glad that we are including the latest additions as well!
Sasuke's emotional growth is stunning. The ways of love in this chapter were amazing. If Team 7 ever took the love language tests, I'm sure it would be an explosive masterpiece. I'd be interested in their apology language too. It would be heartbreaking, hilarious, tragic, and awesome I'm sure.

This whole story is gold! It's been a while since I have read it, but it's been so great to sink back into it after all this time and have it withstand my rose-tinted memories of it. It's still just as hilarious, emotional, and chaotic as I remember! I loved it then and I love it now. I was really excited to see all the new updates, and I let them pile up into an awesome binge read. These chapters have been well worth the wait! I loved reacquainting myself with this entire universe, the Team 7 dynamics, the dark humor, the love/hate relationships, and the found family themes throughout it!
It's nice to see some activity from you! I'm glad you're well, and I hope you continue to be healthy and in good spirits. If you ever consider expanding your writing platforms, I have to recommend archive of our own! I would love to see this story cross-posted there with a variety of tags!
Sakura's performance here was award worthy! She played her part well, and her actress skills leave nothing to be desired! Her ability to downplay herself in such a high pressure situation is commendable, and I love her here. All of the parallels between Sakura and Rin remind me of why there is such an avid Obito/Sakura ship. I love all of the emphasis that Sakura IS practical, intelligent, analytical, and will play her cards to keep everyone safe. She works hard, and she has made it. She deserves her place with these powerhouses, and this chapter really showed her value in a significant way. Sakura is dear to my heart, so I am in love with this iteration of her personality and the regard with which her team holds her.
You blow me away every chapter, and this was no different! Thank you for a wonderful read

When I got the notitifican that you were back and was gonna keep going I was floored. I immediately re-read everything and looked forward to every chapter. Thanks for working so hard and know that this is one of my absolute favorite stories!

Wow this is the best characterization of Sai I've seen in ff (not that I've admittedly read a lot of him...) But this chapter is so precious and such a good wrap up of this entire work. Thank you so much for this gift.
I remember reading this in high school, and I'm literally about to graduate college, so thank you for always updating and continuing. Getting an email notification always brightened my day. This is one of the fics that will stick in my brain for the rest of my life, i think
