Comments: Liberties are taken with the timeline; no mention is made of either Sasori or Kakuzu's whereabouts, and the story takes place some years after the timeskip. The status of most of the tailed beasts is rather questionable. And you know what? Several chapters in, I didn't really care. This is another one of those stories that answers the question, "What does Akatsuki do when they aren't busy being criminals?" Although he isn't mentioned by name, Madara really seems to enjoy playing the Tobi role to the hilt. Hidan's swearing was pretty much the only thing that made me wince. Normally, I'm not into romance that much; but the humor everyone provides was enough to off-set that.
