i'm confused she is not close to the girl who a couple chapters ago she was friends with? did she sell her drugs?

This was so good! I really enjoyed reading this

Okayy... I’m so so happy and pumped up right now that I cannot sleep! KYAAAAAAAA! This is it! IMMA READ THIS SUPER SLOW !

Man, why doesn't this have more reviews?

Amazing fic; great plot, way to flesh out shikaku and yoshino's relationship, and wow, the interactions between the sannin were amazing.

Keep it up!

Why Shikaku more romantic then his son? But its a thumb up for this chapter, little lemon but still Awesome!

I love the first chapter already... Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks for sharing ;)

Okay, this ending is positively charming and delightful! A great ending to the essence and flow of your fanfic. Once again, I just had to say how much I appreciated reading this and how it made me think about the plot.

I love this story! I cannot begin to express how disappointed I am that there are so few favs and reviews. This story was riveting. I absolutely love how you put the whole story together. I always thought Orochimaru was an adorable child and wondered, "How on Earth does THAT become so EVIL?!" You really lay the background for this transition to take place wonderfully. The team dynamics between Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya was done superbly. I enjoyed reading about them as much as the main couple, which shows attention to detail on your part to keep said reader interested in all aspects of your story. Also, I'm glad there is a decent Shikaku x Yoshino fanfic, they are such a cute couple! I like how the main couple develop their relationship steadily. In addition, I think you wrote the male mindset quite well instead of love at first site nonsense. The transition in Shikaku's mind concerning Yoshino was interesting and amusing to read.

This story also put my private doubts about Dan to light. Yes, in canon, he was an upright good guy. However, it always seemed a little suspicious to me how he got up in that meeting and supported Tsunade and also casually mentioned the death of his sibling afterwards. I mean, everybody had to know of Tsunade and that her brother died because she is Konoha royalty. Anyway, thanks for posting this. _ Sorry if this was too long a post.

Wonderful story :) I liked how you wrote Jiraiya and Orochimaru interactions. Shikaku and Yoshino were super. Good job :)

I. LOVE. Chouza's cure on Inoichi and the daughter he will have. Because it kind of came true. :)

Everything about this date was CUTE.

OH GOD I love this story! And I'm sure I reviewed it too. Why doesn't it have more reviews? This story is epic!

Excellent story. Well developed characters and plot, and good diction/grammar/spelling/use of vocabulary. My impression is that you are one high calliber fan fic writer and I can't wait to see more from you. :)

this is perfect. how can it only have 19 comments? ? the way you developed shikaku and yoshino relationship is perfect. not too soft and not emotionless, just like how they are!

this is asskicking! !

Best story I've read on , no exaggeration. The plot you have managed to think up is amazing. If you aren't already, then you definitely deserve to be a published author.

There aren't enough Shikaku x Yoshino stories out there and I'm grateful to have found this one! Spectacular work! :]
