Hm, i liked this, with the snapshots, and there are some sentences that just ring really true. I like the progression here too, and the characterization, esp of Kakashi.

Oh my God. AHHHHHH I LOVED THIS. AHHHHHHH. JHFEOUHNUIIUT

Whether by choice or by destiny, he usually finds himself somewhere in the vicinity of Konoha, like an unconscious part of him recognizes the village as a final destination

AHHHHHHHHH.

I have no words. ;_;

I liked your way of writing, the slow pace, the simplicity, introspection, the idea of eternal return, the manner in which you capture to Naruto and Sasuke and in particular these phrases:

Naruto believes in happy endings and the power of forgiveness. He is hope and love and strength in gentleness.
Sasuke believes in justice and the power of hatred. He is desolation and consequences and weakness in severity.
They are a balance and a perfect contradiction
So Naruto pursues Sasuke. And Sasuke lets him. They continue to move in synchrony, perfect little swirls of varying measures to make up a whole.

It's a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, wow, loved it, even shared a few tears at the end. I could quote like half the story it's so full of amazingly written little scenes. I really loved everything in it, the characters, the whole description of Naruto and Sasuke, everything is just, ah, perfect. I really thank you for this, oh wow, I'll just save it and reread it every month I guess because the original will never bring such satisfaction and amazement anyway.

Kakashi mourning Sasuke made me stop reading for a bit...it was...oh idk...heart-wrenching.

Seriously, really amazing story!
