I'm back again. Love this story

I loved this chapter from top to bottom. It was PERFECT. There is nothing more beautiful than going into the pshyque of the character and this was and this was just the best I've ever seen, really. It was extremely amazing and I don't even know how to say which part was my favourite. I guess all. Especially the last one, with Genma (but I am really fucking mad with Yamato, still). The part that shows what happened that day with Ino was also wow. Really w o w. And the uterus made me think about SO MUCH. So, so much. Thank you.

I think I just found the love of my life in the fanfiction world. I've been looking for a fic like yours for the past eleven years. I've come across some marvelous stories that marked me and helped to shape me into who I am. But this, this right here, girl, is what I inspire to possibly write someday and what I've been trying to find for so, so long. And I haven't been in only one fandom. (Ok, I've been like in five, six, it's not that much) but your author note just had me by the heart. If I was already eager to read it, now I am even more because I know there will be good shit coming from it. It is complete and you write so fucking well. You don't fall into old patterns as the usual drunk one or the cheap rape, the ever present virgin, the helpless girl, the falling in love out of the blue, the "told my dad history of a mission" and suddendly people kiss, etc. This are, indeed, very easy paths to follow and they do work and we do expect them to be here, but (as far) they're not and that's the best part. We yearn for something that we know it's kinda of a cheap trick but does what we want, but then we don't get it and it is fucking great.
I don't think you are even active anymore, but if your past self ever manage to read this, I hope you like it.

Woah, I like it when Kakashi is impartial, but I always want to slap him because, really, really think that Sakura would be responsible for someone's death, on purpose?
And they killed someone just for the sake of the mission, just because she was a prostitute and I really like the reality that lays on it and boy how I LOVED that you talked about the whole politics and money that shinobi are all about

God, I love this. Please write a sequel. I'm done with these characters.

Once again I am back to tell you that I fucking love this fanfic and that I will always come a read it over and over again! Also can’t wait for the last chapter and even hopefully a epilogue...*batting eyelashes*

So my good sis chakra channel was blocked cuz she was dick deprived ?! Gave her all those pills when she really needed some Vitamin D lol

Good story. I enjoy your style of writing.

No, she doesn't need to apologize again. And if she made a scene in public, it's because her lover, who with his (limited but still effectual) dacial expressions and body language, fools other skilled professional killers for a living on the ocassions he doesn't outright kill them, can't put better effort into a more convincing display of congratulations / hiding his completely uncalled for disapproval. Yes, even with being surprised; he can handle and respond well enough to being surprised in the field/battle. He's an S-class ninja.

His lack of effort set her up to get upset.

He fcking disapproves of everything. They have nothing in common except being on a team and having sex. They disagree on what future goals it's acceptable for Sakura to pursue health-wise and career-wise. They have no joint hobbies or even conversational interests (not even in erotic literature). He doesn't enjoy socializing for socializing's sake with her. They don't have a life together. He doesn't act like he respects her as an independent adult.

She's always apologizing, and he deflects or at least apologizes second, and vaguely.

They never resolve Kakashi's control-freak or trust issues, he just distracts her with sex.

Wth does she really see in him? Is he supposed to be found charming? Sympathetic? In the right? He's not. He's just an *ss.

"But then I'd have to command them in battle... they can't handle it." - "I've never commanded him." - "Keep it that way."

Wtf.

I side with Ibiki in questioning if in return for making Kakashi better, Kakashi diminishes Sakura. There's only so much that can be made up for with sex.

Naruto just can't stop being impressively wise, dang!

Sigh.

Fighting for someone doesn't mean disrespecting their boundaries or initiating unwanted physical contact to break someone's relationship up.

And the sudden 180 of Kumatori's personality in order to support his making an assumption that Sakura was betraying him or using him (even if she was't fully over Kakashi, which an earlier conversation indicated Kumatori already knew about and understood her prior involvement/feelings anyway) is weakly done. Especially being so abrupt.

They had a fight. That doesn't mean Kakashi is suddenly less unhealthy for Sakura, in general let alone as her instant-rebound.

"I'd never leave you."

BS, he leaves her all the time, or drives her away with his attitude.

Comparing how Kakashi, vastly more experienced than the only just recently became a *former* virgin Kumatori, can "meet Sakura's sexual needs" doesn't stand as proof of their belong-togetherness. He's had more lovers and time to learn her body. He isn't able to please her just because they're so in-tune with and well-connected to each other or instinctively and intuitively know exactly what to do because they're "so in love" or something, and I personally find the implication that it is actually just that to be cliche and a weak element to an otherwise strong story. It's not as if virgins can't improve, new lovers can't find a flow even after a poor start, or that even truly-in-love longterm partners can't have a bad round of sex or a poor sex life that they must actually work on.

I've been very honest so far with both my positive and negative thoughts about this story. I hope you don't take this for flaming. Because let me say this - and please take this for the compliment it is - Kakashi's pissing me off so much that honestly, if this fic wasn't so well written and interesting in so many other ways and areas of focus, I'd have stopped reading a long time ago.

They're so much healthier...

I'm already mourning the demise of their relationship.

Frankly, Sakura's probably better off with anyone she doesn't have as long (and complicated) a relationship with as she does with Kakashi. Old habits and expectations follow one around into new relationships, it's true, but there isn't the sake edge to them as when you're with someone who repeatedly hury you in several different very big ways.

But I'm guessing her and Kakashi's shared traumatic history will be the reason/proof, so-called, that they belong together because that is the listed pairing. There's a line between learning from mistakes, forgiving and trying again, and learning nothing, hanging on because of destructive-but-familiar and being caught in a bad cycle.

I sometimes like Kakashi/Sakura, but usually it's when Kakashi and/or Sakura are mostly-but-not-entirely in character. Because completely ic, well, we have this well-crafted and realistic (not being sarcastic, I really mean that this is well-crafted and realistic) story that plainly shows Sakura as too easily and unhealthily attached to those who tend to emotionally mistreat her, and Kakashi as the kind of selfish that doesn't feel emotionally secure unless his partner both impresses him and yet submits to his obviously-always-right judgement, and is fully open and vulnerable, while not having to be the same level of open and vulnerable and keeping-his-temper but that's different of course...

"You'll only be in the way."

No "I've got it" or "please don't argue and just let me do this". He never runs out of reasons to be an *ss to her. Every interaction they have, any emotion he feels, calls for being (usually publically) cold or condescending to her. I'm glad she's moving on, I hope she keeps on moving all the way outta Badloveaffairville.

Poor Naruto... Naruto, send a clone to the funeral, maybe? But yeah, man, with great authority comes great obligation to do the wisest, not necessarily best-feeling, thing.

True wisdom from Riko, that. :' ( And Shizune. I think they're right. We hurt ourselves so much trying to force love and live a lie, don't we?

THAT'S IT? THAT'S the big traitorous secret that Inoichi made such a big fcking ordeal about?! She was a 12 year old civilian-born genin of less than a year on active duty who didn't know what the hell she was saying, wtf people...

P. S. I love Ibiki being tough-but-with-integrity; he's a scary mofo but to those that earn his loyalty (not just get grafted in on a Hokage-title-technicality), he's solid and got your back.
