Had he planned on returning to Konoha?  No, he hadn’t.  Did he come willingly?  Yes.  Although that was more because he could tell when there was no point in fighting if the end result would

Huzwarh~ Loved Tsunade's impatience. Sasuke's library... situation was a nice touch. The awkwardness of Team 7's reunion.. so very appropriate. Possible. I could that atmosphere happening in the actual manga. Ah~ Sai and his penis obsession. I sense some jealously on Sasuke's part, ne..?

"I don’t know what happened to my usually writing style, but this feels off, somehow. Not entirely sure why."
Mm. It does seem different. Aa, still fun to read, though.

"I think Sai has almost completely desensitized me from the word ‘penis’. Almost."
Same here. I used to use euphemisms but I now I.. don't. Somehow 'penis' has made its way into my everyday vocabulary.

Tsunade's impatience was actually modelled after various government workers that I've had to deal with. Her's may have been a little less forgiving, though.

I'm not exactly sure how the library situation really came about but it must've had something to do with when I suddenly realized that for a fic that was supposed to be about Sai and Naruto, I sure focused on Sasuke a lot. I think the reunion would probably be awkward, because everyone has changed, except maybe Kakashi.

I like writing this fic, and I hope I can keep the same style, but the first thing is to find some time to actually write, because midterms snuck up on me. Sigh.

I still hesitate a little to use the word 'penis' but it's so much easier for me now. Between Sai and fanfictions featuring him, I really don't feel that moment's discomfort in coming across the word any more.

I am in love with this pairing, but barely anyone can write Sai well enough for me. And it's freakin' awesome that you're doing it, because with how much sarcasm and humor you put into your stories, Sai will be nearly cannon to me. I can't wait for more, especially to see what Sai will do next (and hopefully it'll be to Naruto XD).

And then the part when Sai asked if Naruto wanted a tattoo made wonder, if Sai gave it to him, would he be able to make it come to life? Or would it just be a regular tattoo? That'd be so cool if he could do that.

Your stlye is a little different, but I think that's because it's less crackish or something. Nothing major and it definitely doesn't lessen the quality of it.

I think this is the hardest I've tried to keep everyone in charcter and try to make everything come off as relatively believable. I'm relieved that Sai is coming off as, well, Sai.

That's a good question about the tatoo. They would make an awesome ace up the sleeve if your enemy thought you didn't have any weapons on you. Of course if it's Sai giving it to Naruto, there's no guarantee it'd be for the purpose of a weapon...

This is probably the most serious multi-part fic I've ever written for a fandom... I'm not sure if that's really sad or not.

Thanks!

ahahahahha i like this. i hope you continue... and i just have to say i love all your fics. very sad that you didn't lengthen barfly though....
ANYWAYS this is good... i liked how you were describing the anbu, and how they played stupid pranks on sasuke.
it was very endearing. but whatever maybe thats just me.

[sockpuppet_pete]

I will be continuing it, but unfortunately I ran out of time and won't be able to update for at least two weeks because I'm going to Germany for training.

Thank you, the anbu were really a creative way for me to fill up space, but I had fun writing them.

The Love!
Sai's penis/ugly-face jokes/non-jokes are fantastic! And the "Team Seven plus Sai" line was great!!! : )

*hug*

Your fics always make me smile ^_^
