Dear author, I never know if these comments stick - but here goes! I think one of the aspects of this story that I love and appreciate so much is how true to Madara's core character he seems. I don't know about other readers, but I have a hard time disassociating Madara (in any universe, and at any age) with anything other than a man who is tenacious when it comes to who or what he wants, with a clear possessive streak! And I adore how these characteristics are reflected in 13, 14 year old Madara in this story. I guffawed when he pointedly asked what Naruto's intentions were, and this line especially had me in stitches: “[I oppose you making offerings to a cult necromancer.]” And Madara's insistence that he and Sakura take a picture (just the two of them!) was TOO SWEEEEEET!!! This art is perfect, and I can't wait to see what else is in store for Sakura, Hashirama, Naruto and the entire Uchiha family as they get older. As always, thank you so much for writing and sharing your stellar stories with us!!
