I gotta tell you that this fic has made me laugh more than anything else has in months. Seriously, I've been giggling nonstop for the past few hours. It has really hit all my funny sensors. Thanks for all your hard work and congrats on the 100k milestone!

a good fanfic but i somehow dont get the humor of the story.

update soon! C:

dis is the most brutal & funiest si/oc fanfic ive read :0

Author I literally CRIED LAUGHING AT THIS SO MUCH OMG how are you so good at writing..? I hope you update soon!

I love this story so much and the way you write is done so beautifully that I have no trouble creating an image in my mind. Also the characters are so well written! Well done! I know you probably get this a lot, but I'm uber excited for what Tori does next!

[spoliers]

You could honestly make no progress at all in this story and I'd still love it. Your writing style and your understanding of the Naruto characters... Amazing! I really dislike stories that bend Naruto characters to be unrealistically nice because "uwu I love them."

I find taking it slow is far better than rushing it. And I usually don't like really long and uneventful stories, but I don't find this story is any of that at all! I honestly was surprised people were complaining for a development because to me Tori is developing! Sure not very fast, but she's learning, adapting, becoming less humane given her environment. (I'm sure she would've never brought up a willingness to test on anyone while she was with Orochimaru; let's also remember the fact that she even was timid while being ordered to do so a while back. Now she suggests it!) She is changing, whether she's becoming more "good" or "evil". I do not believe the main characters should offhandedly be the heroes, especially in these situations.

So I'm very interested how far you will take her inhumanity, I am also very curious how the leaf will perceive her if we ever do interact with more of the main Naruto casting...
Sure, she's been kidnapped and manhandled and becoming inhumane to survive is understandable but she's also done many things leading to people's deaths that could be described as not necessary, whether it was her fault or not.

I really really love this story ;-; you can feel the work and love put into this, and though it gets sad or gruesome... it can be comical and lovely too. (Gruesome stories are not a con in my opinion, and torture is almost necessary in Akatsuki stories lol.) I'd also love to say that I'm not sure where you get your chemistry information but I really admire it!

I love the interactions and how done she is with everything! I can relate, on much less... life threatening level? Anyway, it’s cathartic and hilarious.

Well done for 100k! that's quite a milestone, I'm rather proud actually. I loved this chapter, glad to have a relaxing sort of chapter where we see the domestic side of things. thanks for the update, stay safe my g!

Poor Tori, can't see her getting any sort of happy ending easily.

Great chapter, looking forward to the next one.

This is going to be a bit of a long review because I understand Tori's pain about Orochimaru's seals, and I love to see the duality of Tori Mendoza. First off, Orochimaru's seals, I've always equated fuinjutsu to computer programming just because to me it makes sense. So for example this is a piece of commented (annotated) Java code that will print out the word "Hello" 5 times:

/This for loop will loop 5 times
for (int i 0; i 5; i)
{
/This will print out the word Hello, go to the next line and the loop will repeat
.println("Hello");
}

That's easy enough to read on its own and has comments that explain what the code does. I imagine Orochimaru's seals would look like obfuscated spaghetti code, which essentially means it's unnecessarily complicated and difficult to read, and it's all written on one line, because he's a monster. So it would look something like this:

for(int i0;i5;i){ .print("H"); .print("e"); .print("l"); .print("l"); .println("o");}

Except it's all on one line. Last, I love the duality of Tori, in that she has done both of this, "I bullshitted my way into an elite high society social gathering, bullshitted my way into the host's good graces, tricked her into cutting her own finger off, and used that finger to break into a greenhouse full of rare books all while very drunk, very high, and keeping myself alive." and she's also done this, "I wanted to buy a hamster but the vendor kept insisting I get a rabbit and gave me a rabbit to hold, and I got kind of frustrated so I just walked off. With the rabbit."

I hope I explained the comp sci stuff well enough, if I didn't just PM me and let me know. Keep up the excellent work and stay safe.

I LOVE YOU RHIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD AND SHOWED THE XHARACTERS SO WELL BLESS UOU VJSAVAU

Thanks for the chapter! :D

thank you so much for the update :)

love the new chapter as always, especially Tori's little revelation about Jiraiya's inspiration behind his icha icha books being his teammates. 'l
love the idea of in denial jiraiya being like, 'no this hot pale, long black haired chick in my novel isn't an expression of my repressed homosexual feelings for my teammate orochimaru. that would be ridiculous, I am 100% straight haha'
