I think the character I have always paired with Sakura or Naruto is...each other. I feel like as time went on those two became the only people of a broken team they so dearly clung on to. they were both tryiing to recapture the past, for a better future but they were the only ones living the present. they were the only ones who trully never gave up on their team mate no matter his reasons. i feel like the bond they have with each other just runs... deeper. I have no qualms about the fact that Sakura and Sasuke would have tried to make it work out but because Sasuke wouldn't have been able to get past his trauma... it would have eventually lead to a seperation and that hurt could only be covered by Naruto and eventually Sakura would have realized that she loved him a little too much for him to just be her best friend.

So, no, it doesn't seem that odd to me that he would give up something precious as Jiraya's last gift to Naruto for a girl he loves so much. It makes perfect sense, i can picture this to be a filler

Everything was good except for the total devotion Naruto had for Sasuke, its kinda like slapping Sakura lol

So while I have enjoyed reading this, and I will finish it, I just have to get it out there that you seem like an uneducated moron some chapters with all the spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. You'll probably never even read this review, but if you do, I just wanted you to know.

You said that the story mattered the most and that as long as people understood what you meant then it doesn't matter, but that's simply not true. You can have an amazing plot ruined by missing punctuation or incorrectly spelled words with different meanings that make people go back through it and think, "oh, that's not what they meant, they just misspelled the word," or if you forgot a comma that made something a run-on sentence, making the person go back and put the space in themselves, you are doing something wrong. Something very wrong.

Story is important, there is no denying that, but that doesn't make proper grammar, correctly spelled words and proper punctuation usage any less important. This was a great story, even the last few chapters with how much drama they held in them. If you ever get back into writing, don't take this as a flame or whatever the late 2000's, early 2010's word for it is, take this as serious critique to improve if you haven't already after college.

great story

this was truly a great read . i have to say tho , it was full of drama , i was not expecting that from the tags Romance/Humor , so maybe you should change that , i wasn't really in a mood to read something with drama in it so i took some chapters pretty bad also i wished there were more NaruSaku moments . anyway this by no means make this a bad story , i really loved it after all .

this was really really good before but the last couple of chapters had way too much drama than necessary , i though this was a fluffy story not this full if drama story . still good but i am not feeling so good right now .

Wow! Jaja i love it!

Hahahahaha! The ending with sai is so funny!

Love it! Truly love it!

I really do love all you small chapter with your funny way to say things. It's a great great job! Thank you for your hard work!

So cute!

i just dont get why ItaSaku is a pairing? I mean Itachi is way older than Sakura and as far as i can if thy were to be close it would be an elder bro with a young sister.

Stories like this remind me of why I used to hope Sakura would come to her senses and choose Naruto over Sasuke. Or anyone else but Sasuke, really. Welcome to my faves list.

that was a truly perfect ending lol..typical of Sai

I have one question to ask...Why Ita/Saku? that doesn't really make any sense unless you make Itachi younger or put them somewhere in between..then again i've never really dabble in an ItaSaku story or GaaSaku story which to me makes no sense at all ..but a first time for everything no? I saw your profile and saw that you wrote a story or 2 of ItaSaku? maybe i'll dabble in those stories once i go through this one...if i can find some good ones that is..In the beginning i was a NaruHina pairing fan but i burn out on that pairing and now dabble with NaruSaku, NaruIno or NaruTemari-if i can find some good well written ones-otherwise ill just hunt till i find something that fancies me..and hold and behold..im here writing a review after i finish reading the 1st chapter of this story
