I have no idea if you will ever read this review, being that you published this story so long ago, but this is a brilliant work that I greatly enjoyed reading. So many questions! Your skill at detail and subtlety is remarkable. Job well done.

I am so sad. I was completely stuck in curiosity and then it was over ... last att 2008. :( :( Please come back

i love love love your story telling and writing and characterizations, but if its not too rude to suggest, could you put in more visible breaks between sections?

CAN YOU CHILL WITH THE CASUAL NAME DROPS OF NOW DEAD CHARACTERS OMG. but all emotional responses aside, chances are the chars we know and love won't be living long, healthy lives with the profession they're in :(

i like that we have a backstory for the asshole teammember, but to be honest knowing where he comes from just makes me hate him even more? i know cruelty can breed cruelty, but he's not the only person who has suffered and comes from an abusive background, the kunoichi in their team hardly has a happy home life and she doesn't vent it out by causing other people pain. i get he is only 12, and people in pain are hardly self-aware, but idk. i guess people who aren't self-aware and hurt other people just piss me off a lot lol

did - DID YOU JUST KILL OFF SAKURA

also fuck your characterizations just keep getting better and more in depth i love the insight we got into the other two teammates

i already love your oc's, they feel very fleshed out even in this first chapter

Awww Man please dont tell you've abandoned this story !?

I love this story! I reread it and totally got sucked into the mystery. I fear it's been abandoned as it's been 7 years since your last update. If it is (and by some miracle you check your reviews), can you please PM me the story plan (aka who is Yoshio's father). Thanks!

Are you ever going to finish this story? :(

This adventure has wonderful life to it. There are so many reasons to care about the characters and what will happen next. I'm not sure if this is still a work in progress or if it has come to a conclusion, but definitely look forward to reading on.

Lots of characters have been introduced. It's truly amazing how you've been able to give lots of attention to all of them and kept things going in an interesting direction. Kudos to you!

The slow putting together of the facts leave the perfect mystery out to want to read further. Loving attention to what makes the characters who they are, how their backgrounds shape them, and what we wish for them, took incredible ability indeed. I am enjoying this creative writing venture with a few stolen free moments!

Carefully teasing out the important factors shaping each ninja's life is well done. Of course who wouldn't enjoy a little jab of humor now and then. I really enjoyed those little moments. The story unfolds quite nicely and you have me reading on with rapt attention!

This was a brilliant breakout piece with a perfect blend of old and new. I like how you've created a story within an established manga storyline and concocted your own adventure. Solid background released about the characters made following along not only interesting, but intriguing.

I'm still holding out hope that Neji's the father! Great story :)

I hope I get to know who his dad is. One day.
