gbbygarcia18 chapter 1 . 7/31 This is my favorite NarutoxSakura fanfiction of all time. It's the first I've always come back to read, and when I lost access to my account, I made this one, and came to find this fanfiction story first! Thank you for such a great and entertaining story, I have enjoyed it always! I will keep better tabs on it so I can read it more often |
Starfish20 chapter 6 . 7/11 There isn’t much to criticize this fic about. I loved every minute of reading this story. My favorite part of this fic was when Ino set Sakura up on a date. Thought that was super funny. I do wish there was more romance throughout the fic rather than all the political talk. |
Starfish20 chapter 1 . 7/11 Huge fan of Naruto and Sakura as pairing. This has been in my collection for a while and have read multiple times. I’m just now getting around to reviewing each chapter. I would love to compliment your skill as writer. Your diction and pacing made everything flow. The moments between Naruto and Sakura was Ah-mazing. Overall, nicely done. |
Aliveeeee chapter 6 . 7/9 amazing xD |
Guest chapter 2 . 7/8 Awesome |
Guest chapter 6 . 7/4 I love this |
Precarious Obsessions chapter 6 . 5/31 What a precious story! I love how you kept them in character and the easy banter between Sakura and Naruto. This was a really nice read. It like leaves the reader feeling bubbly and warm. |
YuKiOnA-Ga chapter 1 . 5/29 So cute! Usually a kakasaku fan but I’m realizing I’m just a Saku-anyone-other-that-prick fan! Can’t wait to read more! |
Kennie chapter 6 . 4/28 This is adorable and I love it. |
LimitedEternity chapter 4 . 2/23 The bit with Temari and Naruto was brilliant, the image of him snapping his teeth together after being put in his place was wonderful. I'm super proud of Sakura for handling her business in the jounin trials too, even if Kakashi kicked her around a bit. She's her own person with her own concerns and way of going about things. But her team's mother hening is just as understandable and cute. |
Sweety chapter 6 . 12/6/2019 Okay but why is this so freakin good? The fact that I'm not a narusaku shipper and head over heels in love with this fic is doing me crazy. And I wish this never finished. Good job ️ |
Sweety chapter 1 . 12/6/2019 Holy shxt this is so good! I can totally imagine myself reading this as one of the canon novels. |
JintoLin chapter 6 . 11/23/2019 I enjoyed this story a lot and wish it was longer because you done such a great job with the characters and nothing seemed out of place. I loved the loving relationship you built between Naruto and Sakura as well as getting me to like Sasuke as the Team 7 banter was amazingly funny :D |
Spirit Seer chapter 6 . 10/28/2019 I've hardly read any NaruSaku fics, but I found myself dragged into this one. As others have commented, Naruto was an older, more mature version of himself without losing his distinctive characterization. They were all so wonderfully characterized for this new scenario, and I loved it. All the emotions and interactions played off each other, and I spent most of my time laughing at the bantering. They were very alive, probably the best thing I could say. Some rather noticeable typos now and then (like Shikamaru's name being misspelled at one point), but those are just distracting. A bigger thing for me (and this is just my own reaction) is that I felt that the worry about Akatsuki attacking to get Naruto was played up and then nothing happened. I kept expecting an attack in Sand right as Sakura and Naruto finally got together and/or on their way back and Sakura being used against him (or something, but just that they'd attack), but then Naruto and Sakura just return and learn that the council's being replaced and there's no attack. I loved the political battle that went on (because Akatsuki does tend to get used before intra-Konoha politics, so I LOVED that you included the politics, don't get me wrong). It was just built up in my own mind and then I felt like it didn't follow through. Again, this was just my own reaction, but I wanted to share it because that's what I felt. I also see the future that's being built (the council now likely to vote Naruto into Hokage, Sasuke having his seat, Naruto and Sakura eventually marrying), but like others, I also feel like, in terms of the background, there's a lot of loose ends: Akatsuki, the intra-Konoha politics, the council, Sasuke's clan revival. That leaves me feeling like the story's unfinished, if this is a romance within the adventure. However, if this is adventure within the romance, I can see this story as complete, where the story is just how Naruto and Sakura get together-largely how Sakura realizes that she will give Naruto a chance and then that she IS in love with him-then, yes, this is finished. They've progressed to being together forever, from that question of what they were to being officially in love, and the background is now settled enough that they can be safely together (well, as safely as with Akatsuki still hunting him and the aftermath of the council not having fully settled, but still). In that sense, with the story no longer being their relationship trying to survive the outside forces but rather just how they're finding and establishing their relationship, then yes, this is a full and complete story. I would still love to read more, obviously, because I really enjoyed it. But it IS complete. Thank you for writing a very lovely story. I wish you the best with your future endeavors~ |
CoffeeHandShaky chapter 2 . 10/3/2019 This is boring. I'm hoping some mature slice of life instead what I got was a garbage nonsense about D rank mission and an apartment. |
