this fic is super old but i just binge-read it and IT WAS SO GOOD,,, like i usually don't get attached to ocs but all of them stole my heart :( i love this naruto running an orphanage trope i never even thought about it. it's something i've never read and i'm glad i found this. thanks for writing this! i loved it.

8 years and hoping for an update

This is an amazing story! I love the twists and cracks in Naruto’s psyche!

Great story

Worth a read a favorite a follow and a download.

I finally got a chance to read the last three chapters and wow. That was more than I could have hoped for. I wish this would never end, I need it so. I love the way you write, it feels like a song. Like a breeze through the trees.

Read what was wrote and don't understand the praise that has been heaped upon it. Please feel free to PM me if someone is willing to explain anytime.

why? why must you write a story so good a never return?

i really enjoyed this fic! thank you for writing it. i only wish i could know the conclusion? does naruto escape and become mizukage? too obvious? are all his kids ok? will he be alright with his kids knowing he’s who he is? ahhh i wish i could know! i have many questions, too many to write down. i will just have to wonder! ️

I'm not sure if you are still on ff but reading this story I need to say a few things.I love it and need to tell you why. I'm not sure how much social services tell you everyone else but there was a 10-15 years where the IOW just didn't care what was happening under them and we where basically lost in the system and fucked over by everyone. I'm 22 and was caught in it then, I had good ties at one or two points but sometimes i was treated as inhumane, I had to steal food and has to relearn washing myself at 14. I was degraded and oppressed and every tie I ran away I was taken back to them, I know some who where worse treated so I said nothing because they asked and were ignored. So this fiction I love because he would have came when I had nothing, I hope you continue it or at least message me your notes. I am functionally suicidal because if I try to kill myself and it doesn't work I'll lose my flat and cat

more tan six years and i still wait for the climax of this fic that sixty percent is a bitch i hope your ok and try at some point to finish this

I am following this even though it's probably dead because I can't accept that something this well thought out and written truly has no chance of seeing completion. It deserves completion. It is beautifully done thus far.

I am re-reading this precious gem of a story and crying because it happens to be dead and I am unlikely able to read more. I don't usually like many OCs but you managed to make each one lovable (at least the Aoitsuki kids and Endou Seiji) and real.
Such a shame and this is not a hope gor guilt tripping you (it is) but hopefully if we can't read more chapters maybe an outline of your plot wpuld be a consolation.
I'm really curious of what happens to Mizu and Naruto his kids actions on it. Or if he ever mets another familiar face asides from Tsunade

Amazing amazing amazing. I don't know if you realize or remember how awesome the story is... but it truly is unique and amazing. Your Naruto has made an awesome impact on so many lives (I really need to stop using the word awesome and amazing so much.) And he has built something that can change so much ina village that keeps regressing to chaos. I really would like to see what he does when he stops pretending and what he is willing to do for the sake of his children. I know it's been years but I hope you take a look at this again and consider continuing.

Wow. Don't usually like negative Naruto, but this makes sense and has been quite a moving story - I found myself choked up a few times. Thanks for sharing.
