    Chapter 46: Wow, awesome first scene. I love how Sasuke’s feeling about Naruto. Oh, and thank you SO MUCH for working this scene in after so long. If it came any earlier, it would’ve been cheesy. . . . I like this bit: “While he loved being able to get [. . .] he didn’t want anyone else to know how fragile Sasuke could sometimes be.” That’s nailing it on the head. Totally. ^_^
    Nice summary, Sai, especially the last part. I like how he knows the effects of it. . . . By the end of this scene: Heh. I wonder if Shino’s thinking something along the lines of “We are not getting paid enough for this.” ^^ Mm, maybe that’d be more Shikamaru (is he going to turn up at all?), but Shino does seem to be a little exasperated and tired of this whole ordeal.
    I like Sasuke’s sudden attention to “the new Sharingan” and Sai’s “enjoyment” (is it real?) of Sasuke’s agitation. . . . Yeah, I like this scene. . . . ARGH, you couldn’t continue this scene in detail?! I’m going to DEMAND details from all these fade-out scenes!! (You don’t have to insert them into the story, just say . . . “deleted scenes” or something). These fade-outs are KILLING ME!!
    . . . Okay, I STILL demand all the other fade-outs, but I’ll make an exception with this one! X) I love the effect it’s having on Kiba. And then the scent . . . XD Wow. . . . HAHAHA! “I need to use the bathroom.” XDD Poor Kiba. I wonder if Hinata’s hearing the commotion. . . . AHAHAHAHAHA!!! XDDDD “You gotta be kidding me.” XDDDD Are they sure they shouldn’t just go deliver a report to the Hokage?? I mean, Sai might be sure, but what about the rest of them? ^^ I’m also wondering what everyone’s behavior will be like in the morning. X)
    And I changed my mind. I want details for both sessions as well as the half-hour pause in between from the other side of the room. XD That has got to be too good to miss. ^^

    Chapter 45: Nice opening. . . . Beautiful first scene.
    Oh man, that’s creepy. Naruto’s unconscious but looking around. Yikes. . . . Jeez, that was creepy but I liked it. (I’m praying like hell that nothing more happens between Orochimaru and Sasuke, though. That just turns my stomach.)
    I like Sasuke’s POVs warring with each other.
    . . . Like an itch, that curse mark is. Or a virus. . . . Whoa, that was neat. “Are you saying that you’re broken?” Good one. . . . Man, this scene is unusual. It’s really good, I’ve just never seen another one quite like this. . . . Interesting metaphors. . . . YESSSSS!!! One of them admits it!!! ^_^

    Chapter 44: (*snicker*) “Let’s go say ‘Hi!’” XD . . . Okay, that sounds more like Hinata. . . . Heh, Shino’s argument with this girl (is it Sasame? I’m not sure). . . . Sai’s weird reactions (still hasn’t got the hang of them, has he?). . . . Yay, peacemaker Kiba. ^_^ Kinda odd, but I like it and it works in this situation. HEH! “Runt of the litter,” good one, Kiba. ^^ . . . Oh, I see, Hinata only stutters around Naruto. That makes a lot of sense, but call me narrow-minded, but I have a darn hard time hearing her without the stutter. Hee hee, she’s giggling! ^_^ . . . “[. . .] if you knew him well, was standing a bit stiffly.” I guess you’d HAVE to know him pretty well, then! Oh, FINALLY! Sai says something really weird to Sasuke’s face! XD Oh no, now Kiba joins in! XDD . . . “Shino figured it must be a genetic trait [. . .] possessed that same ability.” Good one. . . . I’m okay with Hinata now. . . . Heh. “Sai!” “Yes.” “Sasuke!” “What?” “Do you mind!?” “Not at all. Want me to go into details?” “No!/Yes!/No!” XDDD Poor Hinata. ;) . . . Oh, haha, didn’t quite forget about that, but glad for the reminder anyway: They have to stay. ^^

    Chapter 43: Nice opening. (My Favorite Novelist Alert!)
    I like the “Flicker on/Flicker off” effects. . . . Wow, what a change. You’re right, this is a little different from earlier chapters. . . . That creature-thing was interesting; it reminds me a little of Envy from FMA. . . . “He had to [. . .] He had to [. . .] He had to [. . .]” Good paragraph. . . . I get a feeling from this scene that something/one in Naruto’s going to get loose(r). . . . I like the paragraph where Naruto throws up. . . . I like the paragraphs starting with “One immediately threw itself at the abomination” (Favorite Novelist Alert!) . . . The hazy chaos of this whole scene is excellent.
    The simplicity of Sasuke’s thinking is . . . interesting. Not bad, just interesting. Maybe my perception’s off a bit, but it reminds me a little of Naruto. . . . “However, he knew that game as he could play it himself.” Like that bit; it is kind of a game, isn’t it. . . . Okay, that’s weird, I thought Sasuke’s sword couldn’t be blocked unless you block his arm. . . . “Couldn’t be that hard if Naruto had learned it?” (*shakes head slowly*) Sasuke . . . you still don’t get it, do you? . . . Love this: “The lights in this place were really f***ing starting to irritate him.” ^^ . . . Ooh, ouch, tail. Oh boy! The curse seal! Fancy paragraph: “The sight was almost beautiful in a macabre sort of way. [. . .]” That’d be a great drawing. . . . O.O What an ending!
    I like this line: “Naruto found the stairs by almost falling down them.” Under normal circumstances, that would be funny, but it’s amazing how serious it is in this situation. . . . Haha, I like this one: “‘I’m glad I’m not in critical condition,’ a faint voice said dryly from below them. ‘I would be dead by the time you two got around to making a decision.’” Kinda reminds me of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park: “Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.” XD

    Chapter 42: I like the complexity of the jutsu. It can cause a lot of damage, but the problem is in the situation where they could use it. It seems to take a lot of preparation and the right circumstances. Whoever they’re aiming it at could easily (maybe) get out of the way before Naruto and Sasuke can start directing it. . . . Wow. You know, I was often thinking of a mixture of elements that would cause a ton of devastation. And here it is. Small world, huh? I hope nobody’s nearby. I wonder what the locals will think. . . . ‘Kay, that was disturbingly funny: “Hey, Sasuke . . .” “What, usuratonkachi?” “The trees are on fire.” . . . I like that paragraph: “They quickly decided [. . .] which then digressed [. . .] which then morphed [. . .] which then progressed [. . .]” ^^ HA! Naruto’s got a point at the end too (no pun intended). XD . . . And a hilarious end to the scene. (You know, I’d love to see that scene in detail as well.)
    First line of the next scene, and already I love it. . . . I’m a little confused about the conversation, though. . . . Interesting ending to the scene. Will the next scene begin with the answer to that?
    Yup. ^^ Poor Naruto. Oh wait, Sasuke found something. . . . Aw, that’s sad, Naruto’s homesick. :( Aw, Sasuke’s getting sweet! :heart: That’s an interesting ending paragraph; it’s like a role-reversal for them, sort of.
    “Ripples appeared under his skin?” I wonder what that’s about. . . . I like the bit about Sasame holding a boy and Sasuke holding a girl. I’d like to see a picture of the guys in their Anbu disguises sometime.
    I like the bit about Naruto enjoying being held before it turned the other way around.
    Oh, excellent! “Do you have nightmares?” “. . . Sometimes.” “He makes them go away.” “Yes, he does.” That was great. :) I wonder if Naruto will wake up to discover this; that’d be cool to see his reaction.
    Heheh, “Are you sure?” BARK! BARK! YIP! Etc. “Okay, okay, I was just asking!” . . . I like the whole dialogue between the tracking team. And Sai’s little slip with Kiba’s correction (although I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard of it anyway) and the following conversation about it. For some reason, I’m having a hard time hearing Hinata, but she’s another character I have trouble with unless she stutters. . . . Shino was being funny? Sai, I’m with you on this, I don’t get it. . . . Oh, great last line, too! :D I wonder if they’re ever going to catch up with Sasuke and Naruto.

    Chapter 41: I was gonna complain about you not doing the smut scene (logical or not), but never mind. I look forward to it in chapter 45! ^_^
    Oh yeah, workers. Sasuke, I’m totally with you. Get out of his house and leave them in peace!! . . . Hmm, I wish I could’ve seen that morning scene, but it’s probably better imagined with hints (*sigh*). You know what I’d love to see? Naruto and Sasuke in the morning, just waking up and . . . cuddling or something (*blush*). . . . Ooh, Sasuke’s jealous. (!) I like the orange reference! ^^ Aww, cute little affectionate pose (I’d like to see that drawn sometime). :heart: Okay, I can understand Sasuke’s hypersensitivity, but inviting Sasame to lunch is called “being polite,” Sasuke, dear. ^^ . . . Hahaha! Naruto’s tongue! XD Ohhh-hohoho, “Just proclaiming my territory.” Sexyyyyy! ^_^ Personal question, Zrina: “armguards” and “tight, form-fitting clothes” . . . judging from your LJ profile, I woulda thought those’d fall under the “feather” category, not the “chicken.” So why in this story they’re under “chicken?” . . . Haha, I like Sasuke’s voiced opinion on girls. And the “He’s not my leader” comment. Those are so HIM! ^_~ (This might be a favorite scene of mine.)
    Mm, I hope Sasuke beats her but is satisfied with her all the same. Although, if part of this stems from jealousy, he probably won’t be. . . . Oh, cool, I like the fight scene and how we’re watching it from the side and then suddenly Sasuke says that out loud. . . .

    Chapter 40: God, I am so with you on that, Naruto (first paragraph). . . . Okay, they’re done, I hope this is taken favorably. . . . Good. Call me paranoid though, but that’d be funny if Ren had some hidden agenda; not funny-haha, but funny-uhoh.
    Hm, I feel a smidgen of sympathy for Orochimaru (just a smidgen, mind you), but not enough to want to save him. Despite his current predicament, he’s still dangerous; he has malicious thoughts. . . . This scene . . . it’s damn near poetic! I like! . . . S**t. He has a plan? Kinda figured by now, but the sound of it still makes me nervous. . . . Good luck, man (actually, not really, I don’t want you to succeed--although, knowing this story, you probably will at least partway), but do you know that Kabuto’s dead?
    Heheh, “My eyes are up here.” ^^ . . . Nice logic, Sasuke. Oh, and nice understanding too. Ooh, and nice parting line! :D
    I like Kiba’s opinions about Shino and Sai. And I liked the paragraph starting with “Gee, why didn’t I think of that.” . . . O-okay! That was a rather odd note to leave off on. O.o

    Chapter 39: Aww, tapering off on the hot scenes? Well, guess I’m done with this story, goodbye! . . . Kidding! XD It’s kind of a pity, but smut ain’t everything. I’m gonna read this through to the end!! ^_^
    Interesting first scene, but it’s a little hard for me to imagine Naruto wording stuff quite like that. (By the way, if this sounds extra-critical, it’s because I’ve been a little distracted and haven’t been able to get around to reviewing this story for a while.) I like the part where Sasuke added “legitimate,” though. . . . I like how you thought out the planning of all this--the pros and cons and arguments. . . . I like this part: “[. . .] prisoners that we take.” 'Not that I would take any,' he thought to himself. . . . I would’ve thought they’d’ve thought of the need for proof before presenting their ideas to Hanzaki, though . . . ah well, I guess it makes for an interesting story. ^_^ . . . Hoo boy, that elder better be good, I mean it; Sasuke had BETTER come out of this okay, grrr. . . . And now, at the end of this chapter, I’m hoping that Naruto comes out of this okay as well; wouldn’t it just suck if this is where everything went wrong? (You’re good at this, Zrina. Look at the way I’m reacting!)

    Chapter 38: Whoa, I like that conversation and then the argument and especially the line that says “It’s good for you that I did get out, ‘cause by then you’d be the snake’s whore and your brother would still be alive.” I like the effect it had; I knew it would come before I started reading the next paragraph. . . . Oh, and the sudden confusion. . . ! I like it how Sasuke and Naruto are growing closer all the time. I’m glad it took this long before some of the more sentimental lines come in. Some stories have it in the first few chapters or have it as a oneshot, but you’ve worked it in and it’s not so weird. . . . I really like that scene. By this time in the story, there’s absolutely nothing weird or OOC about it. Good job.
    While Shino’s not my favorite character (I don’t like him much), that was a good scene of his point of view. I like Kiba’s thoughts of “there’s this, but then, but okay that makes sense” and all that. Mm, I think Hinata’s a little OOC, though. I mean, I guess it is possible for her to want those things, but maybe not in quite those terms. An alternative is that maybe she thinks those things but doesn’t act that way out loud. I like the bit about her POV on Sai’s smile, especially that last line in the paragraph; that was a bit more like her, in my opinion.

    Chapter 37: Just had a funny thought about this first scene: That’d be funny if those girls that “sidled up to them and laughingly had led them away with promises of ‘getting what they came here for’” turned out to be real prostitutes, and Naruto and Sasuke, thinking the girls were undercover ninja, would be all like “whoops, where are we?” when the girls start trying to lapdance them. ^^ . . . Wow, Sasuke looks delish. . . . I like the tension in the scene of “what does he know”/“what are they expecting”/etc.
    Little Error: “We can’t say the seal is full-proof, but like Sasuke explained [. . .]” Actually, you mean “foolproof.”
    Oh, shoot. Orochimaru’s pushing at the seal? That’s not good. Expected, but not good. . . . I like this line: “One only had to ask Sasuke to confirm it, as long as one didn’t mind getting incinerated by a fireball afterwards.” ^_^
    I like Sasame’s story.
    Grammar Error: In the very last paragraph, there’s a sentence beginning with “Who would of thought.” I know it sounds like that, but I think you mean “Who would’ve thought.”

    Chapter 36: Uh-oh, Sasuke’s not going to be amused. Well, I dunno, he’s lightening up. Still doubt it, though. . . . Oh boy, I can’t wait for the scene to find Sasuke’s substitute outfit, I can just tell that’s going to be fun. ^^
    I like the whole sparring scene. I wonder if it was hard to write, because a lot of authors say that fight scenes are. . . . I like Sasuke’s compliment to Naruto; it didn’t surprise me too much because it was worked into his character; I could hear him saying it. . . . I also like his slowly increasing sense of humor. . . . Aww man, that was disappointing. I wanted to see Naruto “get nailed to the tree” too. :(
    I like the comment on Naruto’s stitches and sewing. It makes sense. . . . Heheh, I like the bit about Naruto saying what he will be to Sasuke and what he won’t be--and why. ^_^ . . . “Sasuke didn’t like unknowns. [. . .]” Good one. . . . “Mate . . .” Has a nice sound to it. . . . Uh-oh, he wants Sasuke to beg, I bet! . . . Oh, no, I was wrong. Man, each of your hot scenes are unique! ^_^ . . . “Drifted down” Haven’t heard that one before; nice.
    Aww, aren’t we going to see Sasuke “nail Naruto” again? (*makes sad puppydog eyes*)

    Chapter 35: I like all the little twists and incidents of this story! We have Naruto and Sasuke as fugitives avoiding two countries and having their whole business; Sai’s team looking up info; this clan’s problems; and Orochimaru scheming. It’s soooo cool!! ^_^
    Whoa, what an abrupt beginning! O.O I like the line, “ Sasuke saw stars, but he wasn’t sure if that was from the pleasure or his head slamming back into the stone floor.” . . . Wow, sudden ending, too. I like the simplicity of the scene and the message it gave: “Mine.” “Yours.” That’s all. :)
    Ha ha. “Five?” “Yes. Me,” holds up one finger, “and you,” and holds up the other four. X) . . . Oh gosh. XD “Naruto held up a finger as well.” LOLZ! “That’s cheating.” And even MORE lolzez! “An ass is the thing you are groping.” XDDD Where do you get these ideas?? . . . XD Sasuke tricked Naruto into thinking he was pissed when Naruto said “Yes, dear.” . . . Oh man. “Pffffftt.” XDD
    Oh, that’s a clever bit. “You can’t fight someone with etiquette.” “Shows how much you know, dobe.” Really clever. Kinda reminds me of something from the movie “The Mask of Zorro.”
    Oh good, we’re hearing from Sai’s team, I was wondering where they’d gone. . . . Haha, “How many more f***ing shoes do you have left to drop?” And then a great ending leading from that little question. ^^

    Chapter 34: Okay, I agree about the fillers being evil, but to me they’re still OCs (just not your OCs).
    Oh jeez, “One of your damn clones just grabbed my ass.” “Hey! That’s my ass, hands off!” XDDD . . . . Ooooh, “Hell Fire jutsu.” Scary. . . . Alright, interesting, a girl who’s vocally not taken with Sasuke (I’m not counting Tenten, Temari, Hinata, or Tayuya cuz they just never said anything). . . . Hey, cool; when a character is doing a monologue, you break it up into paragraphs and leave off the end quote. That’s something you also don’t see a lotta fanfic writers do; they usually just keep it all one long paragraph. . . . Hee hee, I like Naruto’s “discreet” flipping-off at Sasuke. ^^ And, ha ha, he’s clueless to her awkwardness.
    Great last sentence.

    Chapter 33: See, Sasuke? Who said that act labeled you as “submissive?” ^_^
    I like how Sasuke’s trying to read Naruto to get hints and cues. I love the “begging.” And the sudden threat. X)
    Something I like about your sexy scenes is that I can “feel” what your characters are feeling. That’s not something that’s easy to get across. I’m referring to a paragraph near the end of this scene, the one that contains “He felt the Sharingan flare wildly.” That paragraph was especially vivid.
    I like the ending scene with the OCs. It keeps the plot moving strong. ^_^

    Chapter 32: “Who are you and where’s my bastard?” XD “Ahh, there you are.” XDD
    “Hated cold” did he? Funny. He’s pretty cold himself. ^^ Maybe that’s why he’s irritable a lot of the time.
    Okay, that’s just scary: Sasuke lighthearted? O.O
    . . . Man, damn near poetic. . . . Whoa. . . . “A hard but chaste kiss,” eh? Kinda hard to picture. . . .
    Oh, hey! Interesting ending, but you can’t leave me hanging like that! You caaaaaaan’t!
