Summary
Maybe the fate of Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha Clan could have been changed if Itachi had just had one more family member he could trust -- someone as powerful, invested in Konoha, and devoted to the clan as him. Someone with a little extra knowledge up her sleeve.
Unfortunately for Itachi, the Uchiha's abysmal luck with siblings has given him... Kaeru.

awww man i knew getting back into the Naruto fandom was a mistake because i'd end up stumbling across something like this and then spending the next two weeks re-reading the same stor(ies) over and over again. all props to the author's writing, of course.
superbly paced, with enough focus on what the author wanted to tell and convey without the extra padding a longer ff might take. every chapter is filled with plot advancement, character growth, and a bitter drop of hope even if the ending is technically a tragedy. there was enough changes from canon that it stands on its own, and yet so familiar you can understand how fate has its way of pushing things into life.
chapter 8 has yet to fail to make me tear up. team four is forever now in my heart. will definitely revisit this once in a while, and I daresay this is one of the author's best works.

Summary
Sakura's too young, Kakashi's too...different, and neither knows what to do with a real, live friend. Clueless and incompetent, they stumble down the path of friendship, accidentally getting naked and engaged along the way. Seriously.

a morally grey fic in a morally grey canon universe in comparison to modern-day values, but honestly, i don't really care and i can't complain because of how good it is.
1) i will continue to indulge in my guilty pleasures because it's fiction and therefore more squeamish-y issues have done nothing to my love of this work. thank god for the existence of fiction. god knows i've read [and wrote and seen] worse.
2) the "well-written" factor Definitely! contributes to this, because the characters and their growth in human interpersonal relationships are at the forefront of this story.
3) i adore tsunade.
4) naruto and sasuke will come back to a wedding with lee & gai as the best men, and unless another work in this series disputes this, this will remain my headcanon for this work. -

man, what a turn everything became. love love love the canon divergences, and equally love how crippling each mini arcs are.

Summary
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were not in fact the only rookies in that year. This genin was going to be normal, emotionally well-balanced and happy if it killed her. Which, in Konoha, was almost a statistical certainty.
Or,
There are Naruto characters who can tell they're inside the Naruto story and honestly, take it pretty well.

if you guys think i first read this on ff.net and then ran on this fic years later on this website, suddenly finding the urge to bookmark this and download for immortality on my pc...yes, you're right. that's exactly what happened. perhaps one day this may be finished, but what's already written is a journey of joy. this is one of the most meta and unusual takes on fanfic, right there with my heavenly judgement and the clan of samsara, and i enjoyed this thoroughly. hoping this will one day be finished, but even if it never is, what exists is a defining experience for anyone wanting the change up the good 'ol oc-in-naruto formula.
