I'm willing to wait for that Ino and Teru encounter! I think that Itachi and Inoichi's tea party coming first was absolutely right. How you wrote that part was *absolutely* impeccable! I love how cunning Inoichi is and how he caught Itachi off guard. The Genma and Sakura parts were also so nicely written. I feel sad for Genma because these clan politics stuff *does* suck. As for the rest... i can't speak about them because i would be writing up an entire essay. That's precisely why i want to thank you. I've been so happy over the update that i've considered it an early Christmas gift. Happy holidays to you 🥺 i hope you enjoy yourself a lot! I can't wait to start the next year with this fic, it makes me feel like the same teenager who got into the Naruto fandom and the ItaIno ship for the first time again.

Thank you! I think few people could really unbalance Itachi even in an AU where he’s not the criminal double agent and the stakes are life and death. I can’t not see Inoichi being one of those people. Dude’s day job is to suss out the sus. And it was fun seeing this more cunning side of him compared to how I like him with Ino being World’s Greatest Dad. I’m glad you felt empathy for Genma. It does suck and it’s just a crap situation all around and that’s not actually his fault, even if he could have handled it better and Ino could have been slightly less insensitive to react in the moment. That thread is basically closed now, but its lesson is far from it.

Happy holidays to you too! That is such a sweet thing to say that it reminds you of teenage years when you were first getting in to Naruto. I can absolutely relate. It’s really nostalgic and comforting going back to my writing roots and sharing my totally super mature and sophisticated nonsense garbage. 🤡 We got a ways to go with the ItaIno fic and I’m so excited to continue in 2023. Until the next one, take care! ❤️
