For a slight intermission I have gotten quite a few reviews from guests that I'd like to answer. You have no obligation to read this part and are welcome to skip to the actual story which starts under the line. For those who do continue to read this part, all of the reviews that I am answering here were submitted simply under the name of guest so I am going to post the review in bold and then my answer to it in italicies. I hope I don't offend anyone, but if I do I don't mean to and I apologize in advance.

The idea's not bad but (sorry )I'd say you could merge it with the main story just fine,if you ask me there's no need for a new story,especially,since the way you write and explain each scence(wich is tragic by the way) is exactly like the original one. I do agree that they are very similar, but that is the point. I don't, however, want them to be in the same story because I think it is weird to go to the end of a story in a few chapters and then have the next chapter start the whole thing over in someone else entirely's point of view.

Jeeze,what the hell is wrong with them?do you consider making them mute?cuz to me, it seems they ARE. I don't consider them to be mute. I consider them to be normal people. I, for one, would not be able to speak my mind so freely under these circumstances. I do, however, consider them to be a little too withdrawn, but I find that people who have gone through life with such tragedies as the two of them have usually are.

One would think how sas extracted q9 in that battle?did he gain mangekyu sh.?or how old are they now? I'm glad you asked that. I will make sure to explain it in a later chapter. And as to their age, I don't actually know. I say that you guys can make them whatever age you want them to be as long as they're not too young or too old.

16 review?it's too much,even the best story wo'nt get a 16 review in one week time.i want a new chap. It seems that you are incorrect. I did get 16 reviews within a week, but I don't think its so much because mine is the best story even though that is what I'd like to believe. It's more because I give an incentive for people to review. And, just to clarify, the way I get the amount of reviews I ask for is by adding two to the previous number of reviews that I got unless I didn't get the requested amount. Then I just continue to ask for the same amount that I asked for last time.

Do you even read reviews?i think I should pm you instead. I read and enjoy every review I get, but I only answer the ones that I can answer through PMs. Because of this I only answer those reviews that I get through an actual member of the site unless I am asked a specific question that looks like it isn't rhetorical by a guest. This is not because I'm biased towards those who have an account as I get some great reviews from guests as well, but it is just easier to answer those ones. As to the PMing, you are welcome to do so, but I am afraid you will get the same reaction because I will be unable to PM you back.

Again, I was not trying to be rude or offend anyone through my answers to any of these questions and i do apologize profusely if I did. To those of you whom I did not answer a review that you posted, it is because I did not find any particular question in them, but I do want to thank everyone for their generous reviews. I always enjoy reading them. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy this chapter too.


After that I threw away the promise ring and bought an engagement ring. That's what he deserved anyway. Promise rings are just some sort of flimsy promise, which can easily be broken, and Naruto didn't need something like that. He needed a true commitment and I was ready to offer it. Yet, to this day, with us both lying here horribly injured, I still have not asked him to marry me. I can blame it on him not being ready all I want, but I think the real reason is that I have been too scared that he will reject me. I mean, I haven't even been able to make him happy after all of our time together. I've just made him more sad with every passing moment. Or maybe I wasn't the one who was making him sad. Maybe it was the whispering voices all throughout the village. I never found out what they said, but whenever someone spoke, Naruto would become very sullen. I've tried to fix it, but all of my attempts have been in vain.


I had to go to the store after deferring it for several days. We were finally out of all the food that we had in the house so I was forced to go to the store, but I didn't want to leave Naruto home alone so I took him with me. That was a complete mistake. As soon as I left his side my whole body felt tense. It was to be expected. I wasn't used to Naruto being so far out of my sight. It wasn't like I was babying him or anything. I was just trying to protect him and would allow him to have his free space if he wanted it. I just didn't want to lose him again.

I hurried through the shopping, making sure to stock up on anything that would last long so that we wouldn't have to return to the market anytime soon, and returned to him as soon as I was capable only to find him staring forlornly at some women who were whispering a little farther off. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but whatever it was couldn't have been good. Those bitches. Didn't they know that Naruto had the best hearing in all of the village? Probably not, but they still shouldn't have been saying whatever it was they were saying right then.

I contemplated going over there and teaching them a lesson, but if I did that then someone else would start talking and that would only make Naruto even more upset. The only thing to do is to get Naruto out of here before something truly terrible is said. "What are you looking at?" I asked in order to gain his attention. Once I had that we could leave.

I wasn't, however, expecting him to turn and immediately grab all of the very heavy bags from me as he was saying, "Nothing." There's that word again. I think I hate it now. It's always a lie when it comes from Naruto's lips. That simple word has done nothing, but made me even more angry at the girls who were still whispering.

Naruto turned back towards the house to begin walking away from the market, but I stayed behind just long enough to throw two kunai dangerously close to the girls' heads. They turned with glares, probably thinking that Naruto was the one who threw the kunais, only to gasp in shock when they found me glaring at them with my sharingan eyes activated. After a moment of completely scaring them out of their minds, I quickly followed Naruto and took some of the bags from him. He tried to protest by saying that he could hold all of the bags just find, but I calmed him by saying that I wanted to carry the bags that I grabbed because they were fragile and could be crushed by the many things that he was holding.


I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well guys. I will post the next one in a week unless I get 18 reviews before then
