Reviews for The Reluctant Hokage
tcheschire chapter 16 . 6/9
I found this story through a recommendation on Tumblr, and I liked it a lot! I know it's been five years since the last update, but I'm so in love with the idea and where this has been headed that I'm hoping to see more in the future. I will optimistically sign up for notifications on it. In any event, thank you for this thoughtful piece!

It's a shame we won't get to see how this story would have turned out with the Chuunin Exams and Orochimaru (and the rest of the Akatsuki) going after Sasuke. I was interested to see how Sasuke would be since his clan was never massacred and he was raised to despise Itachi now. Thank you for the read anyway. This interpretation of Naruto was so interesting.
ClockRepair chapter 7 . 5/16
This is very on-brand of Itachi's character. Or at least my interpretation of Itachi. He's someone who is young and had responsibilities that are bigger than him thrusted onto him. It makes sense that he would punish himself so severely over such a tragedy.

I've always thought Ino was such an underrated character who people liked to pigeon-holed as the airy blonde bombshell. I love how insightful you made her and gave her ambition.

Oh shit that last line. Such a powerful line that must have really gotten to Kakashi. Your writing is exceptional by the way. Simple, sophisticated, and a breeze to read through. I know this story has been most likely abandoned but I'm reading and commenting on it anyway.

I love how you write the political aspects of this ficlet collection. I could never figure out the internal machinations of the village like you do. It's absolutely brilliant. Keep on writing!

Aw, and wow. I never expected Anko and Itachi to be a thing. But it's so cute and you wrote it so well. I love it!

YASSS, my Team 7 babies! YASSS for SasuSaku destiny!
zgs1994 chapter 13 . 4/8
Ohhh, interesting development.
zgs1994 chapter 12 . 4/8
Yesss, what an unlikely pair. How intriguing that you'd think to pair them together.
zgs1994 chapter 11 . 4/8
HAHAHAHA, I love the ItaNaru interactions! :D
zgs1994 chapter 9 . 4/8
I...realize that I am not a fan of political intrigue. Hm. But well done. What a nice alternate universe.
zgs1994 chapter 8 . 4/8
As a sasusaku shipper, this Mikoto felt totally ominous.

Aw, definitely the heart of the village. 3
