Hi! I promised I'd reply to everybody's reviews when I got a chance, but there's so many new ones so I decided not to put it in the A/N section of the chapter. If I miss or repeat any, I apologize, it's hard to keep up with! I also reenabled guest reviews. I had disabled them temporarily because of a troll who commented on a DB fanfiction of mine.
I won't be responding to the ones that were talking about my grandma because there were a lot of them, but I REALLY want to thank all of you for your support over my loss. It took me a long time but I'm finally moving on some. It still hurts sometimes, and even simple things like seeing foods she liked triggers it, but I'm finally in a place in my life that I think I can start working through things.
Anywho
REVIEWS:
Ishimaru Taiki–
This was a good chapter. It is awesome seeing Iruka so supportive. Sakura is standing up to her mother which is good the poor girl. Anyway , awesome chapter and I eagerly await the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it! Iruka has so much potential as a parental figure of sorts to team 7 just like Kakashi so you can definitely expect some more of that. And Mibuki definitely has what's coming to her!

Phoenixx Rising - chapter 20 . Jan 24, 2021
Yay! I love that they are opening up some. And I HATE Sakura's parents!
They're getting there. And same! I don't like her parents either! I'm absolutely in love with the concept that Tsunade was a more supportive mother figure than even Mibuki herself.
phantomlord878 - chapter 13 . Jan 30, 2021
this sounds very familiar did you perhaps watch an anime called yona of the dawn cause I think it was where you got inspiration to do the whole trafficking thing and falling through floor etc cause its eerily similar but anyhoo great chapter nonetheless
Kudos to you for catching the reference! I thought it would be a pretty fun to go with that for my idea.

Me gusta mucho tu historia amigo, es nuy original y toca temas que muchos evitan, ya sea por miedo o por no saber como darles desarrollo.
Tu manera de describir los sentimientos y las situaciones que afrontan los personajes es completamente maravillosa, espero con ansias un nuevo capitulo de esta historia.
I had to translate this using google which came up as "I really like your story, my friend, it's very original and touches on issues that many avoid, either out of fear or because they don't know how to develop them. Your way of describing the feelings and situations that the characters face is completely wonderful, I look forward to a new chapter of this story."
I'm glad you like the way I'm tackling these themes. Especially stuff like sexual assault and self-harm which is a very touchy subject to many. These things are very personal to me, so the way I see some people handle these things in fanfiction is of great concern. Trauma and mental health issues like these don't go away overnight, they have to be worked and talked through over time. I want to tackle those things with care. Same with Sasuke's grief over his family and Kakashi's history as well which I will also be exploring in more depth later on. Thank you so much for your kind review!
wonderwizrd914 - chapter 20 . Feb 12, 2021
Oh noooooooo! This story is sooooo goooodddd! I mean I usually don't read stuff like this, I like to avoid stuff that reminds me that the world isn't really that sunshine place I have in mind, but after the first chapter I was tooo intrigued to not read ahead. Mannnn... Did you really have to end the chapter like that? Gosh i'm gonna go crazy with suspense.
All characters are certainly going through something interesting, and I can't wait to see them recover. Ugh curse Sakura's parents! SHANNARO! Jerks... And Sasuke is one stubborn duck but I suppose it's his nature lol. I don't wanna even imagine what Naruto is going through, hell I don't think I am even capable of imagining a single shred of the pain he feels. And poor Kakashi, seriously I don't know how he's even dealing with all of this, dang people... Being a teacher is hard...
If I had been in Kakashi's place, I would have run away... I can't change that about me... I am a runner and a quitter. At the first sign of trouble I'm usually out of dramatic situations faster than Road runner makes a complete fool out of Wile. E. Coyote lol. Well this story is absolutely the best thing ever written for something like this...
I wish you well and hope you're enjoying life! And I'm waiting for the next chapter, please get it out sooooonnn, I should also mention, patience is not my strong suite lol.
I'm super happy you gave this story a read! Thank you so much for your passionate review. Sakura's parents are the worst! And Sasuke is stubborn but it can make him fun to write if you want to explore him showing a more caring side to himself. I've loved writing for him in this so much. Kakashi is trying his best, but I agree, being in that sort of situation can be hard for all sides! He's trying his best and has done a great job all things considered. Sorry it took so long, but I'm finally back ahh.
TheShamanMaster - chapter 20 . Mar 3, 2021
Good evening, so I just found this 2 hours ago while browsing NaruSaku filters and my Lord, I've not been able to put this down! Thank you so much for writing an intense, gripping story! I have a real hard time writing Sasuke (it's part of the reason why in anything I've written I don't add him) but you've made him likable and enjoyable, and yes this is coming from a lifelong NaruSaku fan! (Please forgive me if I sound annoying but I have a hard time with the whole ending of the main story and the SasuSaku revelation)
Kakashi has been done beautifully, I always wanted to see more of him like this, I mean I loved how Jiraiya was the godfather to Naruto in canon and that developed nicely but seeing this with Kakashi; I'll admit I got really teary-eyed at times! And thank you for doing Iruka justice as well, I don't find many fics with him standing out like yours!
I look forward to the next chapter, again, thank you for gracing your presence on this site with an amazing story.
Sasuke is hard for me to write as well, but then I have to remind myself that genin Sasuke was just a traumatized child and there's so much potential to explore with him, so I'm happy you've liked my take on him thus far. Father figures in anime always fascinate me so writing Kakashi and Iruka have been thrilling thus far, Tsunade as well. As for Jiraiya, I have plans for him as well so I hope you will stick with me! X3

PLEASE I NEED THE NEXT CHPATER, this was super good and I love the direction it was going in. I also really wanted to see how Sakura's teammates would react to her abuse and how she'll get comfort. This is rlly good!
Through Naruto, Sasuke, Ino, and the others, Sakura is definitely going to get the support she needs! I'm glad you liked it! One thing I can tell you is that Naruto and Sasuke definitely aren't gonna be happy when they find out what she's been going through.
Author Of Purpose - chapter 21 . Apr 20, 2021
I want to thank you for writing this story, despite how it must hurt to be reminded of your own experiences. Your writing has made confronting my own trauma so much easier. I hope that writing this story has been as helpful to you as it has been to me.
offers hug
I'm glad you like it. I write these things to cope with some of my own situations and trauma, but it always makes me so happy when I hear it's helping others as well. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
TheShamanMaster - chapter 21 . Apr 20, 2021
Don't worry about the length of this chapter and what not; take as much time as you need for everything else. Besides, I liked this chapter and the Iruka/Tsunade conversation (something you don't see enough of in the canon) Keep doing what you're doing because I'm heavily invested in this story :)
Thank you so much. Tsunade and Iruka are fun to write so I'm glad you enjoyed their interaction. I hope to have more!
GunBlade2022 - chapter 21 . Apr 20, 2021
Hi there
...What a trigger indeed, and Tsunade also coming open her experience, but she was a Senju, so it must be on a mission...
Keep up the great writing and stay safe!
Those things will be revealed in time, but yes it was something like that. Thank you, I will!

The angst and depression of this chapter is IMMACULATE
Angst and Depression are my favorite subjects to write about, so I'm glad you liked it!
GunBlade2022 - chapter 22 . May 11, 2021
Hi there
Sakura is really on a slippery slope and this is not going go well...
Keep up the great writing and stay safe!
Things will get better I promise!
Phoenixx Rising - chapter 22. May 11, 2021
Sigh...That was messed up. He's going to awful if he ever finds out she did that.
I love that Sasuke is so actively caring.
Caring Sasuke is the best Sasuke! I have more plans for it, so I hope you stick with me.
RedRidingHoodRubyRosechapter 22. May 12, 2021
love it
I'm glad. Thank you!
GunBlade2022 - chapter 22 . May 12, 2021
Hi there
Nothing much else to say, but I like how Naruto is using the marker then in fingers, nice touch!
Keep up the great writing and stay safe!
He's working on it. He'll still have some slip-ups here and there but he's trying his best. Thank you!
Phoenixx Rising - chapter 22 . May 21, 2021
Finally someone noticed! Thank Kishimoto for Iruka! Now, go rat her out!
Iruka is the best! And I have plans, so don't worry.
Guest - chapter 22 . Nov 26, 2021
Hear me out! Hear me out! I know you've said you've decided the pairings for the story but I really think you should consider the pairing SasuNaruSaku! Either way you're story is very well written!
While it would be fun and interesting, as I love Team 7 shipping alongside the dynamics and potential, I'm not too focused on Sasuke ships at this current moment. I'm not sure what I'll do with him regarding ships in the future, but since I've set this as NaruSaku, I probably won't go that route, though there will be plenty of content between all three, regardless how you want to interpret it, lots of bonding in general between them.
Calm Dragons - chapter 11 . Jan 9
My NaruSasu senses I didn't know I had were tingling
I can't blame you. The exact same thing kinda happened to me when I was writing that chapter which could have honestly went in so many different directions. The fun of being a multishipper I guess haha.
SakCat267 - chapter 22 . Jan 10
Hi! I'm really loving the story so far. I really love the way you write this type of story's! I'm waiting for the next chapter on this one.
Btw, is Haze going to get more chapters or is it final with six?
Hello, thank you for the interest! Haze isn't finished yet, I just haven't been working on many stories recently, though I do plan to pick it back up possibly soon.
Lord of Dong - chapter 24 . Mar 3
I really like this fic, I hope you come back to finish it someday
Don't worry, I'm back, and hopefully will be able to start posting again.
Naruto Sleep - Runa - chapter 18 . May 15
This thing is really pulling on my heart strings.
I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Alessia Greco - chapter 22. Aug 24
Adoro la tua storia e il modo in cui raffiguri il team 7; loro sono una famiglia ed è stato detto anche dallo stesso Kishimoto. Devi assolutamente aggiornare al più presto, questa fic merita e la tua scrittura illustra e descrive ogni personaggio come nel canon.. ho amato il fatto che hai umanizzato sia Sasuke che Sakura, il comportamento di fratello maggiore nei suoi confronti e l'istinto protettivo di Kakashi verso i suoi studenti... e anche io amo alla follia il NaruSaku. Davvero, non vedo l'ora di vedere il proseguio della storia e come svilupperai ogni tipo di relazione, romantica e non. NS forever
Translated on google: "I love your story and the way you depict team 7; they are a family and it was also said by Kishimoto himself. You definitely need to update ASAP, this fic deserves and your writing illustrates and describes each character as in the canon.. I loved the fact that you humanized both Sasuke and Sakura, the big brother behavior towards him and the protective instinct of Kakashi towards his students... and I'm madly in love with NaruSaku too. Really, I can't wait to see how the story continues and how you develop all kinds of relationships, romantic and otherwise. NS forever"
Team 7 is so heartwarming to write about. I'm also enjoying writing Sasuke and Sakura so much, I'm glad somebody else is as well! It's so fun exploring this side to these characters and having a more caring side to Sasuke. Kakashi as well, I like to imagine him as a father figure. There will be more bonds to come so I hope you'll stick with me! Sorry it took so long to update.
KyoTheSlime - chapter 2 . Nov 9

Team 7 fics are the best! I'm glad you're enjoying it. And Naruto was my first anime as well! I have so much nostalgia for it.
Guest - chapter 25 . Nov 30
My first time seeing and reading this story could you add more Naruto x Sakura moments please let them really get to know each other better be more open and honest with each other and Sakura be more nicer and not mean like she used to be hopefully sooner than later they both end up together
Don't worry, there's many more NaruSaku moments and much more development to come, I promise!
FINALLY CAUGHT UP. THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.
