AHHHH I LOVES IT!!!

Personally I have never been able to get far in an OC-Centric story but this is just gold. I can't wait for more =D

though I fear for his life....Sakura would kill him with one simple punch unless he had some remarkable power or what not, lol. I loves that bitch but she is crazy! Poor Taku....

ooooh interesting! I'm just now getting the chance to actually read chapter two....>.> but I love how detailed your writing is and its SOOO LONG! my god it is like a novel. loves it though :)

Author's Response: Thank you. I try my best. My best may not always be good enough, but I don\'t consider that an excuse not to try. In fact I attempt to always try for perfection - whether I can achieve that or, as in virtually every case, not. You know better than anyone how high my standards are, being one of the small group people I hold to anything like them. With other people I have standards based on the skill and talent I judge each individual to have - with myself though I simply expect \'perfection\': Fun engaging entertainment that leaps out of the page into your mind and broad artistic writing skill that brings out my themes and ideas. Obviously I\'m no where near good enough to actually achieve that level, but that is what I have in mind every time I sit down to write. Having someone I judge to be as talented as you (and SilverWolf and the others) actually sit down read my work and provide me with insight into what you liked and didn\'t like is one of the highest honours for me. So thank you for coming back to not only read chapter 2, but also to review for me. That is truely amazing and makes me very happy.
\r\nAnd yes, well spotted, this is actually meant to be a Naruto novel - no holds barred and no compromises - in the way it\'s laid out and set up. I wanted to challenge my writing and take it to the next level and this is my attempt to do that. Whether I\'ve actually created something worth reading or not - I couldn\'t say - Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I hate it - but I\'m determined to finish it regardless. If only to prove that I can.

ah I'm liking this Ren guy. He seems very interesting and I hope we get to know more about him! I also loved your descriptions as always. Seishin seems like such an amazing place :)

Author's Response: Oh, plenty more. I don\'t think I\'m spoiling anything by saying he\'s a main character. I\'m pleased you like him though. I\'ve had very little feedback about my OCs (besides the mysterious \'Nee-san\', although even then not very much), so you can\'t imagine what a relief it is to hear someone say \'I liked him\'. I put a lot of effort into imaging Seishin and its scenery, so I\'m glad you like it too. Kishimoto-sensei put so much effort into each individual country - I wouldn\'t want Seishin to let the side down at all.

Why is he running away from the scream!? and who is "Nee-san"!? God your killing me! lol but I absolutely adored her. I hope she comes back into the story =)

Author's Response: I\'m glad you adored her. I really am. As I said, I\'ve had very little feedback about the OCs so I\'m always pleased when people tell me what they thought of them.

Oh your causing my love for Gaara to grow even more. I read another fan fic on my other "naruto fix" site about him and then this one and damn it all I'm becoming a fan girl. he is just so socially awkward and adorable! XD

Author's Response: Gaara is extremely love-able. Quite possibly the only character I have ever come across who makes my insides melt into a pile of goo to such an extent every time I see his face. Lots of people love the dark dangerous side he starts off with, but in my opinion to really understand his character you have to understand his soft centre. He\'s really just a little boy who always wanted to be loved. So cute.
I\'m glad you enjoyed this story and thank you again for so much valuable feedback.

NEW CHAPTER SHOULD BE OUT TONIGHT OR TOMORROW!!!! oh yeah....I do updates here ;p

(just to let you know...hehe)

Interesting....I keep seeing your story pop up so I thought I should check it out. I rarely read Naruto crossovers but this one looks promising. I'll work on reading the following chapters in the not so distant future :)

Author's Response: Why thank you! I find your review enticing in itself, it\'s very mellow for a TONFA user yet very pleasant to read. It\'s becoming harder to write a good cross over because it seems like everything has been done, but I think I finally found a way to make a cross over completely my own. Thank you so much for your review!
