I think this has to be one of the first fictions I've read with OCs that are actually good o_o; That's a compliment XD

Nice story! I really liked the last bit where Naruto was about to give up on himself again, then he pulled back.

Well thank you very much! It's the first time I write OCs so it's a great compliment. The idea for this ficlet first came to me after re-reading chapter 238, when he leaves with Jiraiya and looks up at the Hokage monument **fangirls**

Have you posted this fic anywhere in the past? Because I know I read it about three weeks ago.

...

Could I really have posted it here and forgotten about it...? I know I posted it in my own journal, but I thought that was all...

Yep, you were right. I did post it on the 21st of September. I was so sure I hadn't...

Wow.. awesome fic. It's rare that I actually like a story with OCs. Great job ^_^

And that picture.. it's beautiful. Seriously. It's the only word I can find to describe it.

As I was saying above, it's the first time I write OCs so it's a great compliment, thank you so much. And thanks too for the comment about the picture. That one just...happened.

Aww, great story! Heart-warming and everything, great job on it! And the picture too, it's so...can't even explain it, but it's awsome. Great job on the two! :)

Thank you very much. No one seems to think I got it too wrong, which is always a relief! And the picture just...happened. It's one of those very few where there not much planning or time is involved at all but it still turns out OK. Wish it would happen more often.
