Thank you for this. I'm trying to find my purpose too

I remember reading this awhile ago and found this again (it's a rough night but don't worry about it) and I just wanted to say you did such a great job making this story and I love every bit so k thanks bye XD

An excellent work from start to finish. I loved the inclusion of Gaara and his siblings, and how big of a part Gaara and Hinata got to play along with the team. The interactions between Gaara and Sasuke were particularly good. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

Really clean writing and I’m enjoying the plot thus far

amazing work

I love it

Kakashi calling Naruto his son... I’ve died T~T

Was good. I enjoyed.

Came pretty late to the party, but better comment late than never.

I think this fanfiction is a master piece. A few details bothered me a little bit, but compared to the ensemble of this master piece, my little complains aren't important.

First, I like that in every chapter you explain a different symptom of severe depression in two different ways. Through Naruto, we can see the big contrast between what people see from the outside and how he tries to explain in words what's going on in his mind, and then we see that what is actually happening is way more complicated than what others see. The scenes where Sasuke and Gaara explored Naruto's subconscious and discover how much worse is his condition? Perfect, heart breaking, speechless, freaking tears everywhere.

Second, the idea of Naruto, the hyperactive loud sunshine, the one who believed that everyone had something worth to be save, that no one was a real monster, now ended up giving up on himself and sees himself as a monster...that's heartbreaking! But at the same time realistic!
Seriously, Kishimoto should have played more with Naruto's feelings, and write an actual character development. Because, I agreed with you, there is no way Naruto is just happily jumping around, eating ramen and living like The great fourth shinobi war never happened and now everything's fine?! Seriously, Kishimoto?! In reality, Naruto would be a complete mess after everything that happened. Kakashi was shown with depression, anxiety, PTSD, being suicidal, and during the series he was shown that he kept struggling even as an adult. And Sasuke turned into a psycopath! But Naruto? Nah, Nart is good, eating ramen, being a sunshine.
All I'm saying, is that your story is realistic, and because you based this story on your own struggles, it brings more realism and deeper meaning for the readers.

Third, I'm not gonna write a lot about the few things that I felt like they were missed, but I need to take it out. 1) I really don't see Kakashi considering Naruto as his son. I feel like Naruto would be more of a little brother, if they had had the proper development. But hey! Everyone has its own perspective. And 2) many characters were forgotten.

But, besides these few not really important things that I've mention, the whole story was amazing. Sasuke worrying about Naruto and calling him brother melt my heart, and Gaara realizing his inner struggles, wow, that was an intense scene for a character like him, and I loved it. And the pairings! The bonds between the characters were well thought.

We can see you really did put effort on this story.

I don't know if you realize that this story helps a lot for those suffering from depression to understand more themselves, and to understand what the people close to them see and feel about it. This fanfic can also help some people to see themselves in the story and maybe discover that they actually have depression. And also, this can help those who have someone close struggling with depression, to understand better what is going on in their minds.

In conclusion...that's it. It was great. Just great.

You'll probably won't even read this, but at least I'll let the new readers know how important and great this fanfiction is.

it is very easy to follow and really well written! I'm loving this story so much

amazing! i love fics like this

I love how you get to see the emotional sides of the characters. In the anime they never are this emotional. It's great. I would love to see you do a fic about Minato and/or Kakashi. They're my all-time favorite characters in the anime.

I love this so much! I love Kakashi and Naruto together. It melted my heart.

I love Sasuke so much in this fic. Normally he's a jerk, but he is so sweet. And I loved the last part where Sakura saw them.

I love this so much!
