I already know that Itachi is genius.

Your work is a masterpiece. Your style is very unique and engaging. Kudos.

I am enjoying EVERYTHING, the imagery, the dialogues, interactions, the tone and the development of the story. I also like that despite the differences the members have, their hidden agendas and dislike for each other there is a sense of camaraderie which makes them human and vulnerable despite being heartless, lying killers.
Well written and well done!

Excellent.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

Wow. What a story. I still find Sasori's connection to Oorochimaru to be very sad, but beautiful because he did know someone that could understand what he most cares about. Sasori's interactions with Deidara made me laugh, especially when they were in the clinic to pick up medication. All your characters are so alive; I'm excited to read the sequel. Thanks!

You are amazing and talented and understand these characters SO well and reading your writing makes me happy.

LOL Sasori invading Itachi's privacy
I like that you made Sasori create Itachi's medicine, like how Orochimaru created Sasori's "eternity"

What are Sasori's "pieces" to win?
He's alone. (Is he referring to Deidara?)

I don't get what Sasori is trying to do to Itachi's body at the end of this story.

I read this a few weeks ago and regret not writing a review while everything was still fresh in my mind, BUT I had to come back just to say how truly well done and absolutely believable this was. The interactions between Itachi and Sasori – two characters you wouldn’t really think of having a whole lot of contact in canon – were so real and natural. Both characters are masters of mind games and manipulation, so there was an element of thrill without relying on action/fighting scenes. Loved it.

It’s stories like these, ones that make me go back and check the original Naruto series for facts and refresh my memory on what actually did and didn’t happen, that I truly enjoy. As much as I can be a sucker for the romance genre, this held my attention from beginning to end and I’m glad no pairings were thrown in.

Intense.

A huge strike of thunder just struck me as i read the last sentence,the last quote. it made perfect sense, and the way Itachi had thought about not being blind anymore, it was a whole different impression than the manga, but damn. its . The characterization are just flawless!

A fitting sequel. I love the insights into Itachi, his fatalism, compared to Sasori and his eternity. The point where Sasori says that he has removed time from the equation is just so pivotal and, I think, captures his spirit really well. This was just really great. I am looking forward to reading the next installment. Thank you for sharing with us.

I only got the title until the end, ahaha. A dead man's hand.

/"Whispers in his ears, taunts and regrets he wished he could hear. Just to hear their voices once more. But there was nothing. Itachi was alone. Not even the dead wanted his company."/
Ugh. This is so sad. Itachi's tragedy is always intriguing but leaves a sour taste behind. I'm glad he sort of found some amicable people in the hell hole that was Akatsuki while he lasted.

Kisame had some of the best lines, I swear. They had me chocking on my own drink.

I wonder how I'd feel if someone I knew pulled off lies as well as Itachi and then died. I think I'll probably be more amazed that someone has the ability to mindfack people like that.

The ending part had me squeeling like a school girl. Omg. I seriously can't wait to find out what the hell has been going on between puppet boy and dear Sakura.

Oh god, I was crying before I was a quarter of the way in. Itachi deserved so much more.

Beautifully written. I don't think I've read any of your works that I DIDN'T like :) you have a beautiful way with words, and the way you construct the characters is impeccable.
