Hiya! First, let me tell you how much I loved your inclusion of a song in this story. I love doing that with my own, so that really hit home for me. I thought this was extremely sweet (: People may read this and say Sasuke is OOC but I don't think so. It was very well described and written nicely, including the romance between him and Naruto. The only iffy parts were a few spelling and grammatical errors, but hey, no story is perfect (: Anyway, good job!

Author's Response: Arigato! <3 I pour my heart out into my writing, I do the best I can! I'm glad you liked it!

Story development! The idea of having Ikari set out to master jutsu types from each country reminds me of Avatar. Whether that inspired you or not, I have no idea, but the idea of him setting out on a quest for that is original for a Naruto fic.

In terms of Rayne, I think you did a good job at keeping her in character, aside from a few minor hiccups. If I were writing this fic, at the point where Ikari told her that, I doubt she would have cried, it isn't like her. If anything she would have yelled at him and told him to fuck off in colorful ways. Especially with everything that happened, Rayne's a little more reserved in the "Shippuden" setting, so to have someone tell her off would make her snap. Also saying she is a jinchuuriki is a little forward. I'd rather see her whip that out on Ikari as she trains him, which I'd recommend to capture more of the clashing attidues during their fighting.

I'm really looking forward to reading more! Excited to see who you're going to have train Ikari in the other villages :) I hope you're motivated to update soon! And I hope you don't take my critique negatively. Rather than me, I wouldn't want anyone whose read my story to flame you with, "YOU'RE USING SOMEONE'S CHARACTER WRONG AND BLAAAAAAAFFFHHHHHH!!!!!!

Author's Response: You know I thought about it after I came up with the plot and I was like oh. Yeah I kind of thought about that after I wrote it, went back and looked around at "Reverse This Curse", and still wasn't sure if it fitted. I had this scene thought out before I decided to add Rayne and had the person still running off in tears because I wanted Ikari to say it in the harshest way possible but I didn't really think how Rayne would've reacted so sorry about that. Don't worry I will update, I'm just going to have to go through and change a few more things with you and Silverwolf's advice. I'm glad you didn't flame me because I'm still honestly terrified everytime I use her because I don't want to OOC her. So forgive me if I hesitate to update :/ Thanks for the review.
