Congratulations on your baby boy! And thank you for updating despite your hectic schedule. I love how fleshed our all your characters are and your interpretation of young Itachi and his dry humor. Please keep up the great work :)

I love this story so far! I like the dynamic between your OC and Itachi. The way you captured his childhood personality is perfect!

Im excited to see how you navigate the massacre and later!

Scorpions-and-Crows chapter 26 . 5/12
Wait, so Danzo didn't take Shisui's eye? I know we all hate Danzo, and trust me I do as well, but the way this played out... well if you look at it from his point of view, then it's almost justifiable. Of course, the question still remains what he had intended to do with Shisui IF he would have managed to get him into Root. Would he use the Koto Amatsukami for his own gains? But the point still stands: he did NOT take Shisui's eye.
I like it that it was still made clear that Shisui was close to dying from his wounds. This made Yahizui's save realistic and logical, as well as his "suicide". Since he knew he was going to die from his wounds, he might as well give Itachi the MA.
And damn that was a rollercoaster of feels! Loved it! And now Yahizui is getting involved in this mess! I wonder how they will pull it out if they manage to get Shisui out of Konoha and what the hell will happen with the Uchiha now? Will Yahizui play a more active role? I don't see her backing down now, and with her curious nature... trouble is ahead.

Your original project sounds really interesting!

What are you doing with my heart?!
You are killing me, you are... oh this was perfect!
First I thought you were really going to kill him. Then Yahizui saves him and it is so perfect, so deep and just so good! And then the last scene in the temple! The connection, the love, the feels! Oh, man, I teared up reading it!

Great chapter!

And I hope you had a great Mother's Day!

Ahh, I love how you write Naruto, his relationship with Yahizui, his rivalry with Sasuke! It’s so perfectly...well, Naruto :P And oh dear...I think I know what’s about to happen, and it’s got me nervous!

ASDFGHJKL! The suspense is killing me! On all sides!
Scorpions-and-Crows chapter 25 . 4/13
I am so happy to see Yahizui progress with the seals! And I like the conflict she's going through with Ashina.
Oh the tension! And Riruka! Poor Riruka she is going through hell right now! Yahizui, go back to her, stay with her!

I wonder what happens next and what made Itachi so panicked! Though I fear something big is coming.

Naruto and Sasuke are soooo cute! Love them together!

Ok, Yahizui is going from one big problem to another. This girl sure has a talent for it! But hey, if she were to stay put and be a good girl then there wouldn’t be a story to read.
I am sooo looking forward to what happens next! Why is Itachi so frightened? I feel like the clues are in the writing, but I’ll need to re-read some past chapters to figure it out. Great job and I’m anxious for more!

anime pryncess chapter 24 . 4/9
Sigh maybe I’m rusty but I was hoping she learned from her mistake in Suna. I don’t feel like she learned properly at all. Hopefully realizing that her actions not only affect her but others as well plays a role. Well done! And oooon the next!

There are times where when Yahizui is straight-up unlikable with her impatience and rash behavior which drops her into hot water due to stupid things she does - makes me want to pull my hair out - but I can't help but continue wishing the best for her and hoping she'll learn and grow from her mistakes. I have faith, haha.

These past two chapters are killing me! It's building and building and I NEED to read more! It's the same feeling that creates a self-destructive monster out of me and stays up till 4am on a workday to read because I have no restraint. Obviously, what I'm saying, is that your writing is still as amazing as ever.

AND YOU'RE WRITING YOUR OWN FANTASY BOOK!? Say no more, where do I pre-order?! Send me that sweet sweet Amazon link so I can click that big green button, haha. There are some books on there that aren't planned to release for another whole year, which I was surprised by at first but has definitely not held me back.

Thanks for your writing and stay healthy!
Yuki chapter 25 . 4/8
Hello!
I’m happy to hear that you are going to start an original story. With all my heart, I hope that the infant story grows up to be a strong and beautiful adult with a golden soul (Was that too cheesy…? LOL!)

Okay, now off we go into Hizui’s story!
Oh Sasuke , Naruto you two are soooo cute. Getting all flustered and denying any kind of friendship.

I’m excited about Hizui making progress in her seals. I love how you’ve written the dynamics between Hizui and Ashina. It’s a push-pull sort of thing…Huzui pushes him away only to be drawn towards him. Honestly, I think Ashina is a decent enough teacher (if we leave out the fact that he always belittles her…but I guess he has his own reasons for being so bitter…). You know, how the Uzumaki way of sealing has been described reminds me of doing mental maths. It’s easy to do the simple calculations…but when it comes to complex formulae…my God. I always prefer a paper and a pen.

It kills me to see Riruka like this. And she is so, so strong. They may say that civilians are weak and all that, but Riruka has the mental strength that even Shinobi don’t manage to muster at times. “If she didn’t know how to take care of herself in a house full of medicinal plants, then no one did” Oh Yahizui, if only you knew….

Did Shuko find out that Shisui was on Itachi’s side? Did he try to hurt him? It’s still too early for that part where Danzo takes Shisui’s eye…But then, why is Itachi so panicked…? Now I’m scared.

A great chapter! I always love reading your fic and am always looking forward to more.
I hope you and your family are in good health. All the best and stay safe!

Yo this story is the bang!
My girl Yahizui is now awake and in trouble! But she showed Ashina, showed him who's boss! So to say )))
