Wow, I never got around to reading your stories... sorry, Sis! :(

Well, this was a really cool introduction. It sounds so historical and spiritual! It was really good, nice job!

Author's Response: Oh, it's alright. I do usually just tell you them at home, but I guess reading them would make it easier to understand. Plus, reading is fun :D I'm glad you like the intro, since I had to think about how I really wanted to start the story. I figured a good narrative would be helpful, so I'm glad you liked it! Thanks a bunch for reading and reviewing!

FINALLY! I have finally found the time to read this awesomely amazing chapter. No, that adjective doesn't fit. Phenomenal? Out of this world? No. Darn it, I can't think of any. So I'll do the same thing I did with How to Adapt and Overcome. I'm giving you the ultimate compliment. I'd planned on only using it for her story, but I just have to start using it for others because they're so good. It's YOUR STORY. Might not sound like much, but it is the best compliment I can give. In my mind it makes sense, but if I explain it, you'll end up getting confused. I'm so glad this was long because I would have died if there wasn't more to read after every single word. I'm having trouble just dealing with the fact there's no next button.

I can't believe you can writing such a YOUR STORY chapter. It made my brain scatter into a dozen pieces with it's mind-blowing-ness. You took the original Naruto plot and molded it so well to your story you'd think it was your story to begin with.

The Guardian power was very creative. I can't wait to see what other Guardian powers Suki shall obtain. I also can't wait until you know what, but this will settle that need for a dozen months it was so satisfying. Does that make sense......

And oh, the twist. I can't believe you did that to poor Suki. *hangs head* Then again, seeing what I've put Sasaui through and the way I made her fear Naruto makes me a hypocrite for saying that. It was very original and realistic, though. It's one of those things you should see coming but don't, and when they do get there, it's just like WHAM! HOLY CRAP I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!

I can tell I've bonded with Suki because my stomach hurt thinking of the pain she had to be going through. And I hate to see that Hinata and Kiba aren't her friends anymore. I kinda hate the fact I got the answer to my question. I'm starting to wish I hadn't. Then again, I'd be dying wanting to know if I hadn't, so.....

The way you added Suki to the Mizuki scene was incredible. Wait, haven't I already told you about your awesome job at molding the original plot or whatever? Oh well, it's just doubly awesome. It's so amazing, it's as if it was part of the original Naruto plot, just flowing right in there with the plot.

And another thing, either we think too much alike, I've unknowingly gained a way to read your mind, or it's not like this part as much as I think, but this is (possibly) similar to one of the ways I had the beginning of the genin arc of TG happening. It's only the first scenario so far, though, and I'm still planning on what to do. Even if they were alike, though, yours would blow mine away. Don't try to argue because it would be like arguing with a brick wall. My opinion won't change.

And finally, drum roll please.........

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This story definitely deserves the compliment YOUR STORY.

Author's Response: *stars in eyes* R-Really? I've achieved the ultimate compliment from you, the YOUR STORY is such an honor to achieve such high praise. Thank you! Hmm, everyone seems to like the big chapter, surprisingly. I was so worried that it would be a painful long read filled with crappy writing. Huh, you're the second person to say that I 'molded' the original plot very well. That is so relieving to hear, as I was sure I completely butchered it XD Oh, you liked the Guardian power, eh? Don't worry, as she progresses with her training, more Guardian powers will appear. The you-know-what is coming soon, next chapter ;) I plan to get that next chapter out in September, once school starts, but if this chapter will satisfy your need for another twelve months, perhaps I'll wait longer ;D I know, I believe we've been over this, that I'm so mean to Suki. I realize it every time I write about her. *insert guilty conscience* But at least it was original, as I try to deviate away from cliches and overused ideas. I'm so glad I've accomplished that. And of course, I love surprising my readers :D Whoo, I have made you bond with Suki, heehee, what an accomplishment! I know, I feel very bad that Kiba and Hinata were only friends for two days. But parents are so mean sometimes.... I'm very happy that adding Suki into the plot is keeping it interesting; I know that plot rewrites can get tedious and overused, so I'm trying to add some flare and originality whenever Suki is mixed in. Sasaui, I think we have possibly been talking too much; our minds must be telepathically sharing ideas, I have no idea. But, as I like to keep saying, great minds think alike (that saying only works if there is at least one great mind in the group, and I'm saying it's you, but I know you'll eventually confront me about that XD ). Now I can't wait to read more of TG ;) And here I was about to argue about the mind-blowing-ness of TG, and you go and tell me not to. Ugh, Sasaui, YOURS will blow MINE away! Kapeesh? But anyways, back to the response, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL REVIEW! You have really made my day, thank you for the great feedback! I appreciate it so much, thank you for reading and reviewing! I know I can count on you, you're awesome!

Thanks for the update, very good chapter! Love it!

Sorry for your loss, hope all gets better! *Huggles*

Author's Response: Aw, you're welcome :D I'm glad you liked this chapter so much. I appreciate your concerned thoughts. And thanks for reading this! And of course, thanks for leaving a review, it is deeply appreciated! You're awesome!

First of all, my condolences. I am sure he was a great man. But you probably do not want my sympathy, so onto the review.

I loved this chapter. It was tense and had a lot of drama to it. As Mizuki was telling Naruto that Suki was the guardian, for a second I had an irrational fear. Irrational fear, being you will be like every other story out there: "I don't care suki! We are still, and always will be friends...because..I love you suki!" THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT DOING THAT!!!!! It was believable, far from average, and suspenseful. Realistic character traits and personalities, I loved it all.

My vote would be to place her on team 7, to keep with plot line and (i love Sasuke), or to make a completely OC team is my second choice. Can't wait to see what you do. Until then.

Author's Response: I do appreciate your sympathy, Fantasy Madeline :) But wow, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter *insert happy dance here* Heehee! Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. The "We'll be friends, despite your terrible secret" thing is so overused that it bugs me a bit. Hence, my approach was the "Suki, I hate your guts now!" I'm glad you liked it, though I feel so sorry for Suki. I'm so mean to her :( But at least it was believable and I kept the characters realistic. What an accomplishment! Hehe, you'll just have to see what I pick for Suki's team ;D Thanks a bunch for sticking with this story! I really appreciate all the support you show this! Thanks for reading and reviewing, you're amazing!

way to start a chapter eh? xP
*bangs head on desk* LOLOL
i dnt understand y Ur apologizing?? i ws wishing this chapter would continue n grow longer.... n seriously.. if u ask me.. this is one of Ur best chapters of this story... gekido in madara's place... Awesome!!! n wow... the description looked so original n intriguing... i felt like m actually watching it like a movie... a family of 3 it is now...... :D
oh.. so finally... thanx 2 that b**** nurse... the news spread :( poor suki...
lolz n poor naruto... i can only imagine his frustration wen iruka said tht the test ws da clone jutsu test xD
n wow... the way u've described the whole chapter...
to b frank... i dnt quite exactly know wat a concussion is... >.<
so i just hope suki gets fine... :(
n OMG!!! hw cn people like mizuki n tht nurse even b so... so.. oh god nt gettin da word -_-
poor suki, hope someone tells naruto tht suki ain't at he thinks she is...
Kool hw u took the original script n moulded it describing it even better... Suki fits in perfectly in the script :O :D
bout the teams.. dunno wat u'l do.. bt if u ask me.. fitting 4 people in a group doesn't sound that ... eh.. well... awesome...
i mean , no offense if thats wat u've thought of doing >.<
but an OC group will b da Best... i think...
m sorry 4 ur grandpa... :(
i know readin my review make u happy or anything... :/ but it felt really nice 2 read 1 of ur stories after such a long time... :D
n hope ur doin well... ^_^

Author's Response: Actually, it was *slams head against the desk* Heehee ;) Well, even though it was a long chapter, I was worried that the majority of it would seem really bad. So that would mean just a giant chapter filled with not-so-good writing. But wow, I'm glad this chapter pleased someone, so thank you :) Yes, Gekido is in place of Madara, because... well... I don't know, the story just seemed to flow that way. Ooh, I'm glad the description was decent in this, I thought I was a bit sparse in places. Oh, a movie, huh? That's a great compliment, as I try to make my stories as descriptive and interesting as possible. And a concussion is basically when someone is hit on the head by a heavy blow, and falling unconscious because of it can have bad results. Mizuki and the nurse, wow, I didn't even realize I wrote them in back to back chapters O_O I've tortured Suki so much, I'm despicable. But I'm really glad you think the plot is going well, as I'm always worried that I'm ruining the story by placing Suki in. About the teams, well, I won't tell you what I've decided, I just wanted to hear what others would think of what I was going to do, just to see if I'm predictable or not :P I appreciate your thoughts about my grandpa. Thank you very much for still reading and thanks even more for still reviewing. I appreciate it :D

Wow. Best chapter so far. The interrogation scene was awesome, as it flowed so well with the emotion and mystery.

And I thought it was an interesting twist that you added the Uchiha massacre in there right around the same time. You're keeping close to the plotline while also adding Suki's own troubles in there too. But it makes me wonder how Naruto and Sasuke will be together now, as Naruto is no longer lonely since he has friends.

I really hated that nurse. Seriously, why would anyone do that to a little girl?! Aw... poor Suki...

I started crying right along with Suki when she tried to run away from her destiny. It was so sad to see her try to deny what was practically being forced on her.

This was an amazing chapter. Perfectly written, mixing the various emotions amazingly well. This is was great. Good job. I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! Oh, it's good to know I didn't completely butcher the interrogation scene :D I'm glad that came out well. Oh, and yes, I couldn't just ignore the Uchiha massacre, as it is very important. But you're right in thinking about Naruto and Sasuke's relationship now. Don't worry, it'll be clear soon ;) I know, I hated that nurse too! And I created her! Ugh, I can't believe I did that... Oh man, I made you cry again? *hands another tissue* I'm so sorry for making you cry. I'm glad you liked this, despite all the tears. Thank you very much for the wonderful support, it really means a lot! I'm so happy that you have taken interest in this story. Thanks a bunch!

Yikes, after all Suki has already been through, you went and tried to kill her? Scary...

I loved the Twenty Questions part. It was so funny, and even cute, just as two seven-year-olds can be XD

And then you completely surprised me with this murder attempt. I was on the edge of my seat, my eyes glued to the screen, I was that scared. And when Kakashi made his epic arrival, I jumped in the air with happiness. That entire thing was so cool.

Oh, and the gold bird is back! Wow, I almost forgot about him. 0_o Well, now I can't wait to see if that bird will return. I wonder if he only shows up to save Suki? I'll just have to read more then! Nice chapter!

Author's Response: I know, I know! I'm a terrible person to put my OC through that... Hehe, I distracted you with the cute entertainment of the Twenty Questions and then shocked you with a murder attempt. I'm so evil. But, at least Kakashi's epic entrance made up for it :D And yes, the little gold birdie is back! Ah... nah, I won't spoil anything for you. You'll just have to wait and see ;)

I think it's very cute how Suki is always thanking Kakashi. It's one of those adorable personality traits that define who she is. She's never had anyone treat her so nicely, so her thanking him so much is actually very cute.

Even the last part was cute, when she called him Daddy. Best part of the whole chapter XD

This turned out very well. Kakashi was kept in character a bit more. And I like how you're adding more detail to the other OCs, such as Chishio and Tetsu. It gives them more depth, something that we don't expect to see from those particular two.

Great work with this chapter. I look forward to reading more!

Author's Response: Ah, you're the first to comment on her thanking him all the time. I'm glad that didn't go unnoticed. And what's more, you even liked it! Yay! Aw, I know, Kakashi as a daddy, it's just a cute idea ;D Phew, Kakashi was not as OOC as I feared. And I'm glad I've gotten you to think of Chishio and Tetsu a bit differently now. I love showing more depth of the characters; it always leaves people confused XD I'm glad you liked this chapter! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing it too!

Eh, Kakashi seemed a bit OOC. Remember, he always keeps his cool, no matter what the situation.

But wow, I did like how you hinted at Suki's past. Her parents abandoned her, which was actually not what I expected. It adds to the build-up of her character.

I also like the nurse and her nosiness. I found it amusing, though with her new discovery, the story seems to be darkening, and I like the intensity.

That was a rather mean cliffhanger, though :( Now I must read more!

Author's Response: Ah, I knew I would eventually mess Kakashi up. Well, thanks for the honesty! I'll remember to try and keep Kakashi relatively cool and collected. I'm happy that you continue to like Suki though! It's nice to know that someone likes my OC and the past that I have created for her! Hehe, yeah, the nurse is a little annoying, and the plot is indeed darkening. There is plenty more intensity to come, don't worry! Muahahaha! Cliffhangers are so evil, I love them (but only when I write them). Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

Hmm, I wonder how you will tie this into the story. Some of the techniques do sound accurate in the manga, and I could see which ones you had to make up. But the ones you did create don't seem random on your part; they actually seem to flow with the shinobi arts, or at least make sense in terms of all that. Interesting insight to the animals...

Author's Response: Yeah, I also wonder how I will tie it all in.... O_O Hehe... Anyway, I'm glad the ones I created do seem to make sense, as I was worried some people might not like the ideas. I'm glad it turned out alright though!

O.O OhMiGoth I love this story. I look foward to the next update!

I have a feeling things are going to get really, really interesting ;)

Author's Response: Aw, I'm so flattered you decided to read my story! Thank you so much! Haha, in all honesty, I look forward to the next update too O_O Oh, things will be getting really, really, REALLY interesting ;D Wow, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! I seriously really appreciate it very much! Thanks a lot! You're incredible!

You'd be surprised. Peanut can grin, and she does it all the time. Like the previous chapter, this one was amazing. I loved every second of it. The meeting with the bird was awesome. I liked how you did Kakashi's resignation. It was really good, fitting Suki perfectly with what will happen with him quitting. I loved that Kiba and Hinata are now their friends. I wonder how having all these people care for him will affect Naruto. I wonder if the parents will freak when they learn their children have befriended the guardian (funny since this is a term I have for Tainted Guardian. Didn't mean to do that, by the way) and the Kyuubi host.

Author's Response: Aw, that's so cute about Peanut :D Yay, I'm glad you liked this chapter as well. I loved the official introduction with the bird. And I also enjoyed giving Kakashi's resignation a little more meaning than what everyone assumes happened in the manga. Yeah, I thought Naruto and Suki deserved more friends, especially after the murder attempt and all. Oh, you'll just have to wait and see about Kiba and Hinata and their parents. Oh, and don't worry about the whole Guardian term thing. I'm sure we've got different ideas ;) Thank you so much for reading and giving feedback! I seriously appreciate it. Thanks so much!
