What a beautiful fic. Thank you for spending almost three years to share this work with us. I’ll never look at KakaSaku the same way again.

Wow. Just wow. This fic keeps surpassing all of my expectations. Hands down one of the best KakaSaku fics i’ve read. Thank you for this, author-san!

Hot af! You’ve outdone yourself this Chapter!

What a great start! It’s hooking me in!

This is so profoundly beautiful Thankies for making this story!

Just want to say that I’m still here in 2020 and am about to set forth on my either 3rd or 4th read though. I don’t think there’s another fic that I’ve reread so many times. I always come back to this one because I feel it’s beautifully written. I remember a few years ago I got a friend to read this (she’s neither into naruto or fanfiction) and she still enjoyed reading this. I know you moved to Ao3 a while ago, and when I tried to make an account to follow and read more of your works, you had to wait 6 months to be approved and I never did (this was ages ago though, and the site might be different now) but I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your current creative endeavors. :)

Oh hell no!

You make Kakashi into such an amateur, it’s embarrassing. Not only do you have him be oblivious to everything around him when Sakura dances but he didn’t send her a text to warn her he had seen their suspect and he had sex with one of the girls which made her a target. He didn’t use his dogs to search the city? You’ve made Kakashi a total loser. And for what? So he could pine for a woman, he himself says he can’t have. This is getting really stupid. Sure, the lemon is top notch but the story is weak sauce. And it’s a story like this that makes Sakura come off as useless. She let one of the girls get taken right under her eyes.

As a lemon this story is top notch but as a mysterydrama, it is getting way to repetitive and Kakashi is just becoming way to unbelievable.

But will I stop? No, not yet. I’ve invested too much time in reading this story to stop now. Here is hoping, you get Kakashi back on track.

You are sooooooooo evil!
Reading this, I thought, “Finally, they are going to do it.” But no! You had to find yet another way to interrupt them. You evil, evil woman you!

I have to say, I loved this chapter. Absolutely loved it.

Okay, I have to ask. Why is it such a bad thing for Kakashi and Sakura to hook up? You keep saying it over and over. They both hold back because they believe being teacher and student makes them having a relationship together taboo. And I could see that if Sakura were still 15, or 16, or 17, maybe even 18. However, you established in the beginning of the story that she is what; 19 or 20? There are college students that age who end up in relationships with their professors and while maybe frowned upon, is not grounds for dismissal of either unless they are attending a religious university. And with the relaxed view on sex but the shinobi, I don’t understand why they are making such a big deal about it instead of letting their feelings be known by the other, having sex and moving on with the investigation. Going on as they are will just make them sloppy and mess up along the way. Also, they sure are taking a risk, betting all their marbles on the yellow eyed man being their only suspect. I already voiced my opinion on showing Sakura’s detective stills, I won’t repeat myself again. I did enjoy their time at the lake, other than what I mentioned above. Still, it was a nice change of pace. On to the next chapter.

Whew! That was so very sensual. And Sakura finally got a good look at Kakashi’s face. That was great. But I really must say, I don’t like the direction your taking the two of them. You’re following the old cliché of, “oh I have genuine feelings for this other person but they must not feel the same way as I do, so I won’t say how I feel.” And neither then knows what the other truly feels, hence the false tension created by it. A tension that could easily be resolved if either one showed just a bit of maturity and said how they feel. Oh, and another thing. Why did Sakura dismiss Nezu as a suspect so quickly? She just learned he works for a major opium dealer. A rich and powerful man who, if he wanted, could make young beautiful women disappear in order to sell them as sex slaves. Maybe Nezu sketches the girls to show to his boss to see if he wants which one he wants to acquire next? Sure, Nezu wouldn’t be the one kidnapping the girl. For that, Kitakawa would send one or more of his shinobi to retrieve the girl he settled on. So, sure, Sakura dismisses Nezu as a direct suspect but to dismiss what he told her as well. Something tells me the the revelation of who the culprit is, is going to be something out of left field and all of their time spent investigating will prove fruitless, making the time Sakura spent as a stripper just an excuse to exploit her character. To make her time spent at the club be meaningful, have her actual, slowly put the pieces together and solve the crime. In that way, she not only learns to be confident in her own body but shows she had the skill and intelligence to solve the case. Don’t just say she is smart, show she is smart.

Oh, and one more thing. I really hate it when stories find ridiculous ways to keep the heroine from having sex with anyone but the hero. And faking sex drains Sakura’s chakra? Really? How very convenient. So, the reason for my first complaint; what better way for, in this case, Sakura to learn about her sexuality and if the intent of this story is to have her and Kakashi end up together, have her more deeply appreciate him as a lover and a man if not by having her have multiple sexual partners to compare him with. Then when they do have sex, she can see just how caring, and amazing he is, and not have him be her only sexual partner so she has nothing to compare him with. So she falls for the first guy she has sex with. In this case Kakashi. Oh, and you really needs to rein in his jealousy. It is so very out of character for him. Please have Kakashi act his age and experience level again. This is getting embarrassing. As far as the chakra thing, I’ve got to believe mending shattered bodies is a whole lot more draining on her chakra than inserting a few false memories and sending endorphins throughout her customer’s body. And she’s healed patients all day long. And now, one sex fantasy drains her of her chakra? Please. I know is sounds like I’m raging on your story and maybe I am. But the premise has such amazing potential, I just want to see you reach that potential. Well, on to the next chapter.

Okay, so are Kakashi and Sakura seasoned shinobi or hormonal teens? Alright, so Sakura is, what? Nineteen in this fanfic. So technically, she is still a teen but she has been a shinobi for seven years. Seven Years! And Kakashi... talk about needing to act his age and not his shoe-size. And what is so taboo about having them f ck? Better Sakura do it the first time with a man she trusts, instead of with a stranger, or worse, a criminal and kidnapper. Remember, sex is only a big deal if you make it a big deal, and in the ninja world, like Sakura said, it’s more of a hindrance than an asset. Got to say, still, these last two chapters have been sexy as hell. I know I may sound critical but I am still really enjoying your story. I wonder if you are still on FanFiction Are you even reading my reviews? I know you finished this story years ago and there in no way anything I say will impact the outcome but as a writer too, it frustrates me when people read some of my older works but don’t bother to comment. I didn’t want to do that with this story. So I’m treating it as if each new chapter I read the as just released. Hope you don’t mind.

On to the next chapter.

Oh my gosh! That was soooo hot. And a good first suspect. Obviously, their first suspect wasn’t going to be the culprit but starting with a rogue ninja was a smart choice. Again, please don’t have Kakashi go too far off the rails. On to the next chapter. ️

Whew! That was so sensual. And I liked how you didn’t make Sakura flawless but not so clumsy or out of sorts as to make a fool of her. I also enjoyed how she still tries to maintain some level of modesty but does what she has to do. I hope you don’t made Kakashi go completely OOC with him becoming overly jealous or hyper protective of Sakura. That would just be too cliché. Guess I’ll see. On to the next chapter.

Nice to see Sakura interact with the dancers. It would have been nice to see Kakashi have a specific strategy for Sakura to follow. Also, it would have been nice to see Sakura bring up the possibility of the abductions being an inside job and discuss Tsuranai as a possible suspect too, not just that she was cold and aloof. Her advice to Sakura, to stay out of her way, could be viewed as a vailed threat that if she didn’t, she might be the next to disappear. Than she and Kakashi could have discussed that likelihood. Just a suggestion. Still, really enjoyed the chapter and am looking forward to seeing Sakura take the stage for the first time. I hope nothing too embarrassing happens to her.

Whew! That ended with a bit of a shock. Seemed like Sakura was growing with some confidence until she was hit with the reality of what she was being called to do. How quickly that confidence vanished. I hope that in the next chapter, Sakura re-evaluates her assumption that the kidnappings couldn’t be an inside job. That last comment from Tsuranai should at least lead Sakura to ask the other girls if Tsuranai ever showed any jealously towards the two missing girls. It would be so much better is Tsuranai turns out to only be a false antagonist, giving Sakura and the other girls a hard time but in reality not being involved and proving to be a friend rather than a villain. Guess time will tell. On to the next chapter.
