I never had time to give you my full review. I was at work and i was like 5 chapters behind when I red this one. The last chapter I red was when Katsuro/Naruto and Sakura was kissing and now I witnessed a sudden twist in the romance. I was really baffled until I've caught up with the remaining chapters.
I was absolutely devastated how they had a fallout with one another on Sakura's last solo mission. I absolutely understand how Sakura felt like Katsuro had betrayed her because he was trying to abduct the girl. But the only thing I hold against her is how too dismissive she was with Katsuru, and how easily she let Sasuke force his tongue down her throat a nearly took her innocents, knowing that Katsuro ( I wager it was him) with his comrades were watching.
This is not because of the shipping wars, but i wish you have never develop a love triangle in this story this late. After all, SS developments were too little. Have Sakura being paired up with another guy in a story that you've labelled NS endgame for nearly three years is something that is not going to sit well with most NS fans. I myself is very apprehensive where you will go with this story. Your summary stated that they would have some type of fall out and both live their lives until that faiful day Katsuro revels his true identity as Naruto Uzumaki and carries a bloody Sakura in his arms back to Konoha, knowing that he would be imprisoned.
Judging by this plot, I believe this is where Katsuro as Naruto rekindles his friendship or relationship with Sakura some time after.Judging by the time period, SS is going to have a lot of screen time. I do espect that she may bear his child and perhaps marry Sasuke before she finally learns the truth.
This is the part where I'm going to personal hate Sakura being with a guy when this happens is because Sakura cannot become Naruto's girlfriend because she may still be Sasuke's mate or wife by that time. Mostly, 99% of the time, I would tell the authors to abandoned the NS and just keep it the current pairing, which s mostly SS for the sake of that pairing because it doesn't seemed fair to both Sasuke or Naruto for one Sasuke losing his love to another man and for Naruto to mop about Sasuke's sloppy seconds.
However, since i have been devoted to this story for nearly three years,I will keep reading if only you grant me a boon. This story, you have Sakura moved on and have a very sensual relationship with Sasuke,which is a normally a logical human trait. I want the same to happen with Katsuro. I'm not saying that you be force to pair him up with a girl, but have him experience love making. This is where most NS angst fics ends up being trash because there is no balance.
What i mean by no balance is that authors have a tendency to make Naruto to be a scapegoat, depressed love sick puppy that has lost its way in the world with no sense of direction a guidance. At this rate, he's incapable of moving and is hoping at the very least Sakura would dump the guy who she has been seeing and come on to him with open arms as if nothing ever happened.
From my experience as a reader in both original and fan literature, it is not essential that both hero and heroine to be pure to become a couple. In this case, 88 % of NS fans estimate do not believe this, which s why some of these stories out there have shipping wars. I admit, I'm a suspect some time ago. not very proud of it.
On the other hand, I'll agree with Torxe, but just to let you know.I'm not trying to have any control over your story whatsoever.
I personal hope I never offended you, Tricksie. It is not my intent. Just keep up the good work.
