“This was already shaping up to be another
_beautiful_ day on planet Sakura (population: at least three).”
I love this sentence. It’s one of my favorite quotes.

“A worried frown creased Hinata’s brow, and Sakura gave her friend a half-hearted
grin. “If you’re a ninja, getting Grandpa to do _anything_ for you is like
trying to make Manda-sama dance,” she joked.
“That doesn’t sound good,” the pale girl noted unhappily.
“Eh, it can be done,” Sakura assured her with a chuckle. “But he usually eats
you afterward.”
Hinata grimaced. “That sounds even worse.”
Laughing out loud, Sakura reached across the table to snag a seaweed-wrapped
cracker. “Yeah, I guess so,” she agreed”
This one is also a winner.

Have to admit that I’m very curious as to what Sakura’s (sealed) record says. Was it sealed before (due to some sensitive family info or similar) or only after the Suiren storyline, due to the glorious mess she’s made (kinjutsu, role in the Sand-invasion, ANBU ‘contact’ etc.)?

Sakura just seems to me a little too sensitive to the subject family for it to be due only to the story surrounding her conceivement. Can one hope for some family secrets or is he just overreacting (as she berates herself)?

Also is the reason why Sakura being so adamant denying the possibility of inheriting a title only due to her being a ‘bastard’/illegimate heir, her grandmothers view/dislike of her or is something more?

If pink hair is something typical/hereditary on her fathers side of the family it’s kind of strange that not more people has questioned her parentage. It’s not exactly the most common of hair colorations, maybe even unique for one family and I (as Sakura did) will wonder where it stems from (I mean pink, really). Since her grandfather has black hair it probably comes from her grandmothers family and that family is nobility right? Noble family known for having pink hair, somebody ought to have made the connection. I doubt her grandmother appreciated Sakura (being a ‘bastard’) inheriting such a clear sign of her bloodline. Plus, the last name.

Will we meet her uncles (on her father’s side)?

“Just one question before I answer that: What’s in it for me?”
I wonder what came after that sentence?

So many questions and they keep multiplying.

Hmm, hope Sakura will become a better liar/bluffer, she seems to have a better handle of it canon, if my memory serves me correct. (Though I have to say that I DESPISE her recent portrayal in canon. Will stop there or rant and spoilers will ensue).

It’d be real interesting/funny to see what the training session(s?) with Yoshinari entails. Ought to make a Suiren Gaiden with it. Would also love to see what Kurenai manages to dig up about Sakura. She doesn’t seem like the type to let whatever questions she have lie, not without having exhausted every possible source at least. She is/was a spy after all.

Hoping for updates.

The manga is taking a break next week but I reckon by the week after that we should see a little of what powers they have(n’t). Until we see enough of Suiren samurai that we’re able to make a proper comparison, will probably be bit longer though.

Thought as much as I dislike the recent Naruto chapter and stopped reading them quite some weeks back I finally manned myself up and read them, and guess what ‘SPOILER WARNING’ in ch 456 samurai’s appear in the canon-verse.

I’m a new convert to this ficcu.

I’m just curious to when this’ll be updated.

Great read again and the revised version makes more sense then before. ^_^

Will Akatsuki and their plans play any role in this fic?
