Squeee! Orochimaru appears!!! Can't believe I'm the first one to mention that :) I really like Kabuto in this, it's nice to have him more involved.

Sasuke and Sakura's discussion about Naruto is certainly intriguing. I like the dialogue and their interactions.

Glad you were able to get back to Crossed wires and do such a nice job of it! This flows nicely from the last chapter and is certainly well-written, as usual.
