To be honest, I was afraid there might be too much internal Naruto going on but I feel like with him he may not always do the smart thing, but he does do the right thing, and that's worth something, if not everything. I chose the background of Ame to kind of bookend Naruto's decision to miss the Hokage inauguration ceremony, in that this place is the result of all ninja wars and his decision could lead to another dismal place like Ame. But there's also a childish side to their relationship that I think they unconsciously relax into when they're together like this because it's a comfort zone, and even though they are adults and Naruto is supposed to be making all these smart decisions as the future hokage his stubbornness to the point of blindness in regard to Sasuke is what makes him endearing, and is probably the only thing that could bring Sasuke back. I tried to do a more adult story for them, something that didn't rely only on nostalgia or the village to reconcile them.

This is the kind of comment that makes me all misty eyed. lol, by all means friend me. Stalker and fan have such weird connotations of rank which I hate. I'd rather just converse as friends ;D

Are you kidding me? Whatever you hoped for when you were writing this story-- you got them. Yeah, it was extra painful, and certainly with an adult-ish theme, but nobody's complaining. At all. And I agree! Naruto's stubbornness is very endearing. Sigh, Naruto, Naruto. I don't know what to do with him!

Thank you! This is very typical, but I love making new friends! Hahaha! <3
