Big Fan chapter 8 . 11/1/2018 :'( That was really sad. When will they meet Izuna and Madara? I guess this means the only adult will Butusuma soon...stinky. This is really well written. It's gripping. I like that she's close to Tobirama. That happens so rarely in fics. Can she do genjutsu? Did Hashirama eventually teach her shuriken jutsu? Thank you for writting |
readwithcats chapter 8 . 7/27/2017 Ok so first of all, thank you for writing a story that takes place in the warring states era with Hashirama and Tobirama! I've been really wanting to read one but I wasn't finding anything, and then I saw your fic. It's well written too! Also I love the way you do 3rd person point of view as well as 1st person, it helps you get a sense of the SI-OC without too much unreliable narration. I really hope you update soon, but take your time. I'll be waiting regardless! |
Bloody.Kirai chapter 8 . 6/30/2017 I wonder if the fact that Itama isn't... well.. theories, theories. I just wonder if he'll really be as Nuka thinks. Or if he will be a he at all. Things have changed after all. |
Bloody.Kirai chapter 6 . 6/30/2017 this. it kinda makes me think she /is/ an Uchiha? Ah, well... |
Bloody.Kirai chapter 2 . 6/30/2017 ...That. was. adorable. |
Scriptology chapter 8 . 5/20/2017 *wounded animal noises* not Atsura! D: I mean I knew it would happen, but damn I was not prepared for that. Also, does this mean Hashi now has the mokuton? It'll be interesting seeing how he develops it, since all canon ever did is go from the goofy, well-intentioned dork with bad fashion sense to Badass Ninja 2000 (who's still goofy) I really like this story, though I'm half convinced that you managed to steal my notes for a story I've been toying with for a while... Or was it that I stole from you somehow…? (Probably the latter, I don't think I had the idea back in 2014) ANYWAY, I digress. This story is freaking amazing in every way. It's nice to see Tōka as a main character and not being just another cardboard cut out who just happens to have a canon name (*cough*); and all the characterization is very well done- but without the above mentioned habit of being generic flat characters that canon is sometimes find of doing (…Butsuma…). Can't wait to see how Nuka develops into a person, and what all the mystery behind Takara is about (my theory is she is an Uchiha- but not necessarily a spy. Whether because she doesn't wanna betray the Senju after all 'they' did for her, or because she was never one in the first place I'm still not sure about) Cheers! |
Guest chapter 8 . 5/2/2017 Let's plant a seed for dearest father who was meant to die young. He shall be the first of many tragic deaths, but he will not be forgotten and always have a place in our hearts. I declare myself in line to kidnap all children and hide them from this useless war. Take them away from the tragedy of death and becoming orphans. Hugs will be much appreciated and transferred over to them in spirit for the grief they're gonna feel in the next few chapters. |
lost in details chapter 8 . 4/29/2017 I am super glad I stumbled upon this story! It is so refreshing to find an SI/OC story based on a rather quiet, introspective yet seemingly pragmatic female character. I love the fact that she's struggling with her memories and that she's not even sure if she's able to change things. That she has been unable to conclude she's been "reborn" into an "impossible place" with foreknowledge she finds she cannot explain is absolutely wonderful. Very believable. One of the things I love the most is that you've begun to bring each character (both major and minor) to life, showcasing their strengths and weaknesses in turns. I love the amount of world building you've been doing with the Senju side of life via Warring States Era. You don't see stories like that as much. And this one has been very well written so far! I think you're doing extremely well engaging your readers (myself included) in the various plotlines. The pacing seems to be just right. Not too fast, but not painfully slow either. It seems balanced fairly well. The curveball at the end of this chapter was something I was and yet wasn't expecting. I'd known Atsura would probably die at some point, but when I read about his body breaking out into sprouts... well, I can't help but suspect some things. I want to think that Hashirama is beginning to tap into his special bloodline, but at the same time I can't help but suspect that Hashirama's wish that Touka/Nuka be his sisters might be more true than anyone else knows or realizes. Miyako has implied several times that before Hanako's death, that though they were close things might've been strained between the sisters. Sleeping and/or falling in love with the same man might just do the trick. I can't help but suspect that HashiTobiKawa are also half-siblings to Touka/Nuka. Not just Itama. I may be wrong, but who knows? Hmm... Butsuma may be an efficient (not good, nor great, but efficient; I'll give credit where it's due) leader, but he doesn't seem to be husband/father of the year material at all. I also can't help but wonder if he'd caught onto what was going on between his wife and Atsura and so he sent his brother-in-law to his death in revenge. I don't know. I just have this feeling that there's a lot of things going on underneath the underneath haha that Nuka isn't catching; nuances she has yet to understand. And Takara is probably an Uchiha (full or perhaps half; maybe a bastard?) that was sent undercover to infiltrate the Senju compound. I don't think she's as forgetful as she claims. I do however think she's genuinely becoming attached to Nuka and maybe Touka a little. And I think that that is messing with her. She has a mission, but something tells me she might have issues Mulan style because she wants to listen to her heart and Nuka is her friend and god, why is this so hard? Lolol. I am so invested in this story. Can you tell? Haha good job! Please keep up with the good work! I look forward to finding out what happens next and how Izuna will fit into the big picture. IzuNu anyone? Though I've got a feeling if that were the case, Tobirama would honestly lose his shit. xD |
Cat Beats chapter 8 . 4/24/2017 I a glad to see a new update, I look forward to more! |
SleepiPanda chapter 8 . 4/24/2017 Omg noooo |
Caeleste chapter 8 . 4/23/2017 I've spent the last couple of hours reading this story. I'm not sure if you'll update it frequently after this recent update but I wanted to let you know that it is once of the best stories I've ever read. I like how Nuka is so realistic and she isn't an OC that automatically jumps into shinobi arts. The girl has her faults and is very aware of it but uses it to her advantage. She's entirely easy to relate to. I do hope that you'll continue this wonderful work. |
Fils chapter 2 . 3/5/2017 i like this so far, just hope you don't start Uchiha bashing out of no where, or at least make it reasonable. fingers crossed that she doesn't become a mary sue |
ColorfulRandomness chapter 7 . 5/27/2016 I really just love Nuka's character. She doesn't exude the "look at me I'm a prodigy" aura all the time and call attention to herself as much as I've seen other OCs do. Her character's subtle, and the times she manipulates Miyako are so satisfying. I still can't decide whether I fully hate Miyako or like her. Grr, she's just so frustrating! Why is she so nice?! Maybe it's because I like Atsura that I think she's absurdly pathetic. Cheating on her husband and shamelessly clinging on to Atsura without a care for his dead wife(her sister!)? Not getting a hint? Well, I've got to hand it you. It's rare that I get worked on a story! |
wassup chapter 7 . 4/23/2016 plzzzzzz update! |
Gal chapter 7 . 4/7/2016 Please continue this story! |
