Very nice. The little bit at the end with Kabuto gave me the chills; he's just so creepy.

The scene with Sasuke and Sakura was kind of touching. It was a breakthrough for both of them. It was great character development for both, and it also leads to an even better plot.

Good job with this chapter, and I look forward to seeing what you put up next, whenever that may be. Keep up the great work with your writing!

Author's Response: Thx. And don't worry; more info on the summon will be shown bit by bit. But if you've played any of the games, it should be no surprise by now; and yes, it IS an important character in the story and different from other summoning animals in many respects. Though Kakashi's ninken will make appearances here and there, too. You've been so great with the reviews dude (it's ambiguous mind you.), thanks a bunch!
