    Summary

    "How can you just forgive Sasuke?" Sakura will ask him one day. And he’ll smile, bright and genuine, and say: "Because someone should."
    Sakura doesn’t know it yet—won’t ever know it—but that is the closest Naruto ever comes to telling anyone the truth.

    A darker look at Konoha, the world and everything Naruto is, has been, could have become.

    Summary

    Sasuke is eight - Itachi is thirteen. He goes to pick his brother up from the Academy and finds him tussling and shouting at a little boy who hollers back like the concept of volume control applies to everyone else but him. The boy has scars like whiskers on either side of his nose, stretching across cheeks rounded with baby fat.

    Itachi looks at the boy and sees the ghost of a woman his mother had treasured, hears an echo of the woman he had looked up to at the age of five. He hurts, the same hurt he's felt for eight years now, and makes a decision.

    He picks both boys up and takes them home. This, unbeknownst to him, changes everything.

    Summary

    Naruto Uzumaki.

    Most hated individual in Konoha, no friends, no family, and a shit-ton of untapped potential.

    He's been alone practically all his life and the boy has long since accepted his future is going to be just as lonely, but all it takes is one incident for everything to change.

    --

    Iruka Umino.

    Chunin school teacher, no family, a few friends, and one of the most stubborn people out there.

    He's tried his best to trust the Hokage when it comes to looking after a certain blond-haired student of his, but after he finds said student in a horrible situation, his world is flipped upside down.

    Summary

    “Does it make you sad?” Sasuke murmured, voice barely louder than the din of the restaurant. “That there’s nothing left of our childhood. How many times can you rebuild the city you lost before it’s no longer the city you love?”

    “Endlessly,” said Naruto at once.

    (Unsuited to post-war peace, Uzumaki Naruto is waiting for something to happen in his life again. Enter Sasuke.)
