Konjou Kumiai
This circle has done quite a large number of SasuSaku book, including some small
B6 ones. The artist's name is Yoko Fujitani-san. Her artwork is OK, crisp and she only has occasional difficulties with
proportion. Basically, this is one of the only circles I've seen that do serious, almost sombre, SasuSaku stories. Most of
the others are really rabu-rabu. The book Lion Neko doesn't even deal with interaction between the two, merely
thoughts. Often her circle name is written 'Yoko with WILL', so I'm unsure if there are two circles in collaboration here,
but there's certainly only one artist. For interest's sake, Konjou Kumiai means Willpower Union.

Comments : This has one long story, concerning
Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and
Sakura. It takes place after the Zabuza arc.
Kakashi gives his three students each a present; a
copy of a photo of the four of them together. Sasuke doesn't seem as interested as the other two, but he does pocket the
photo. The three then have a mission to find an old woman's cat. While they're searching in the rain Sakura is thinking about Sasuke's
injuries, when they thought Haku had killed him. She finds something, and then we see Sasuke searching. He sees
Sakura sitting, and realises she's found the cat, but it's dead. He calls to her but she doesn't respond. Later the
team is drying off and Sasuke notices the old woman crying about her cat. Sakura sees him ripping off the bandage around
his neck, and while Naruto is digging a grave for the cat, she has a talk with him about death that lifts her spirits. [36 pgs]
