Although the story has some cheesy points (yes, Deidara does tend to get over-powered in this and/or given abilities without good excuses), everything else was really good. It shows each of the Konoha 12 in a whole new light, a really really interesting Sasuke, and quite frankly Sakura's mother is a badass. In fiction, if an evil woman gets pregnant she will almost always go down one of two paths: either killing/corrupting the baby and not caring for it (like Medusa from Soul Eater), or abandoning her life and evil ways to raise the baby (like the Bride in Kill Bill). It's interesting to see a woman who does neither, yes she takes Sakura somewhere she can grow up normally, but she doesn't stop being an evil, manipulative sociopath of a scientist.
Apart from that, there's also some great ideas in there. Itachi has bad social skills, Hana is oblivious, Sasuke and Tenten are creepy/cute in their own way, and dear lord Choji and Lee are different. The story has a number of side-plots just dedicated to watch these kids grow up, which is really cute. It may not be for everybody, although the author takes away Deidara's fighting abilities (it makes sense in context) he's so central to the plot it can be annoying. But everything else about the story is fun, and as the story goes on, it become funnier and funnier. If you're not looking for something perfect, give it a try.
I liked it
