I always always always come back to this fic just to read it again. It’s managed into 9 chapters and that’s amazing to me as a writer! I’ve seen some people attempt to write about them meeting on individual missions, but yours pulled it off extremely well!

Lovely! Thank you for finishing this.

I looooooooooove it

this story shld. be Itasaku since Itachi is so much better than Sasukepp

This was an incredible story! I binge read the entire thing in one night, unable to rip my self away from your entrancing words! I was thrown on an emotional roller coaster and I’m still pumped with the adrenaline of all of the well written events. Thank you so much!

Very cute ending. A glorious story with fun ups and downs!

I'm happy he's finally been found out!

Oh boy! Sasuke's finally been found out!

Bahaha, I love that Sasuke thinks so little of her skills despite being proven wrong...TWICE! You go, girl. (;

Poor Sasuke! He took that hit like a champ. Sakura's fists are her weapons!

Wonderful! Sasuke didn't recognize the pink hair what with all of the ornaments, eh? (: completely enthralling and I love you me descriptive detail!

Wonderfully written and witty to boot! I just can't get enough!

Beautiful start to an intriguing story! Very happy to have been directed to this little fic. Thanks so much for you time in creating this!

Wow, you certainly delivered on that epic battle. I was ready for Itachi to die the evil one who was avenged by Sasuke, and then poof! He disappeared in flurry of crows and the tale really did reflect where we were in the manga and how vastly different their skills still were at this point.

It's not easy to end an story, and I'll admit I had speculated on how you might go about doing it. For this last chapter I actually took my time and gave this a second read. I'll share with you my first impression was a little different from my second after allowing time to digest it.

I am in awe how you neatly placed everything into the context of the manga and stayed true to everything. In retrospect this is really the amazing part of it all. During the first read my (biased self) was skewed a bit to my gravitation for a 'happily ever after' ending. It's not just the fact that it was a Princess story. I think I secretly hold onto that hope/expectation for most stories I read. Sasuke in your story leaves though and there is a sense of melancholy nothing more becomes of them.

Giving it a second read I really came to appreciate how this story fits nicely into what really transpires in the manga. He still needs to avenge his brother. He still needs to return to Oto to get stronger, and he won't/can't rest until this is done. It then struck me, it wouldn't have been Sasuke had he just up and returned (or at least it would be big deviation from the manga itself.) So I came to appreciate and like what you did.

I was hoping you would add a memento before he left, and you didn't disappoint. I was actually thinking it would be something sake related (remembering from this he nearly blurted out some of his feelings for her then) but I'm glad you used the mask. It represents all he hides behind but finally takes off just for her.

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful tale and I hope Unicorn Paige is proud of her UPMNSSR and the dedicated fifty-foot head you constructed on the side of Bacon Mountain.
