aw i love this

Shit, simple yet so good, nice!

Ahhh... some good old stories about the older shinobis in the village. I love this and the characters are so in tune with the show, it's disgustingly good how well you write this short story. Thanks for sharing with us! :)

Nice story, thank you.

it was so short but I cried, your writing is filled with emotion.

Awe. I really liked this. :)

This is wonderful and so very true! I like your characterization. it was spot on! And your OS was well written. I enjoyed reading it quite a lot.

I truly love this story! The idea, creativity, and how you right it makes everything humorous yet serious, enjoyable but sad, it's fantastic! Thank you for writing this story, it's just AMAZING!

This story shows great emotions without actually showing emotion, if that makes sense. Very nice. It's well written and I can easily see it taking place with these characters. I enjoyed it very much

Brilliant! I loved it.

This is a beautiful story. I love it.

Nothing much else I can say, really. But very poignant.

Excellent job writing this.

Great story! Those words are exactly what I'd imagine them saying before going on the mission. The last sentences sum it up perfectaly: 'Hidden behind a mask. Hidden behind smoke. Hidden behind a senbon. Hidden behind a grin and a scar.

For how can a ninja, who is trained to show no weakness in any situation, who can never show any doubt in their fellow shinobi, ever utter the words:

“You have to come back because without you how are the rest of us going to cope.”'

COOL

I really liked the structure and sentiment here, You did a nice job of differentiating the characters and making it clear how much they care for each other. Your closing about bluffs was really poignant. Well-crafterd, well written story, thanks.

aww, that's so sweet! i really do wish the four of them spent more time together in the series. oh the hell they all could have gotten into. well, great fic. keep it up! XD
