Here I present myself with the third draft of the stories that are still in voting.
For anyone who doesn't know about this, I have a poll on my FanFiction profile that will decide the next two stories I'll post when I finish the ones I still have current. The poll will be open until I finish those stories, so you'll have plenty of time to vote.
In total there are four stories, and only the first two are the ones I will develop in the future. This is a draft, and should not be taken as the beginning of this story. I will only upload one chapter so that people know what they will be voting for. I'm aware that a single chapter won't be able to cover the whole basis of the plot, and that it would only be a fairly general overview, but at least you can get a better idea of what you'd like to read.
There will be people who like only one of the stories that is on the ballot (either because of the main characters, the pairing, or the universe I would be using), but I invite you to read all four drafts, as you might come across an idea that you like better than the other.
Again I warn that this is a draft, so, if this story manages to be among the first two, I have to warn that this same chapter could be modified for later.
This time, the third draft is about Naruto. Before I start, I think it's important to clarify a couple of things so you know what this is all about.
First of all, this will be a Naruto x Yugao, ONLY her. There will be no harem.
I should also warn you that there will be sexual content at some point in the story, although it will most likely take quite a while for those scenes to appear. Mostly it's because this fic is planned to be quite long, and personally I've always liked the late pairing. That doesn't mean that they fall in love late, it means that it will take them a long time to be honest with each other. Especially Yugao, who is going to have a lot of problems for reasons we all know.
The plot is set from the beginning of the anime. You could even say that even further back, because there will be some flashbacks to explain how Naruto lived since he was a child. I won't go into much more detail, since that is something that will mostly be seen in this draft.
There will be quite a few changes regarding the Academy for the sake of convenience. Not so much referring to Naruto's life, but rather to the earlier development of different events and so on.
One of the most important things that I must emphasize is that Naruto will not be broken, far from it. I don't feel like putting exaggerated power ups on him from the beginning, because that would really be a waste. I think he could only be considered as a broken character at the end of the Pain saga, but it won't be because of that, it will be mainly due to all the progress he's been accumulating since he was very young with different teachers.
Sasuke will be good. There will also be different points of view with the Sharingan, although it will still be just as useful. Mangekyou Sharingan nerfed, but not so much. There will be no Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, with the cost that you won't go blind when using it, although you can't use it for too long due to the excessive chakra consumption, as well as the extreme fatigue it produces in the eyes. An excessive use of it could produce blindness, although these small details will be explained in the future.
Finally, I must warn that I and Sakura do not get along at all well. If you like this character, I suggest you don't read this fic. She won't be as bitchy as in other stories, I will simply follow her fanaticism with Sasuke, but I will develop her as her ending should have truly been.
I have nothing against Hinata, though I don't like the character either. I decided it would be best for her to be in love with Naruto up to a certain point in the story, until she realizes that he doesn't even consider her as a partner, only as a friend.
Having cleared all this up, I think it's time to get started.
Enjoy!
There were always a lot of mysteries that haunted the Shinobi World.
It was probably because this world was mysterious in itself. After all, the Hidden Villages and the large number of ninjas that the different regions had not only created warriors or legends, but also generated the great diversity of culture that each country was molding over the years, the advances...
And of course...
Also from wars...
In fact, wars were the main attractions in this chaotic world.
There were several wars throughout all these decades, but the most remembered are three in particular. Not only because of the fact that all countries were involved in these wars, that recognition was mainly due to the great legends that remained in the memories of all people.
Some were very proud, others viewed them with fear, and some were consumed with hatred after remembering some particular names.
But, hatred was something that always prevailed when talking about the Hidden Village that gave birth to a lot of legends. Or, under certain eyes, a lot of ruthless killers.
Many of them remained in history and were only remembered in a distant way.
Only one was still deeply engraved.
One who had stood out at a high level.
One who had not died so many years ago.
The name of that legend was Minato Namikaze. Also known as the Fourth Kage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The most winning, most respected, most feared, and most hated village.
Having such a great history behind it, the village was always proud of itself. That was reflected in the civilians and ninjas, who acted with complete tranquility and seriousness within those walls.
Well, at least, that was until someone came along to disrupt the atmosphere.
That someone was a blond boy who not long ago had painted the face of the Fourth Hokage. Now he found himself sorting out his own mischief as a rather angry man positioned himself next to him, who appeared to be his teacher.
"Seriously..." The man gave a big sigh, leaning against the metal elevator. "You just became a Konoha ninja, and you want to celebrate by painting the face of the Fourth?" The annoyance seemed to have subsided in him, but he was still watching the boy with a very disapproving look.
The blond put down his brush when he saw that he was done, then turned to the man and gave him a toothy grin.
"Just because I've become a ninja doesn't mean I'm going to change, Iruka-Sensei!" He exclaimed as he adjusted the bandana on his head.
"Naruto..." The now recognized as Iruka said his name, then shook his head. "I guess you're right." He would conclude with a smile.
They would both sit on the edge of the elevator, watching as the moon shone even more brightly over the village.
"To celebrate your graduation, wouldn't you like to go to Ichiraku Ramen?" He would ask, looking at his former student with a smile.
"Believe me I would love to, Iruka-Sensei. But I promised I'd go eat dangos with my two teachers." Iruka couldn't help but look at him with great surprise after what he heard.
After all, Naruto didn't seem to be someone who could socialize with others.
It wasn't that he wasn't good at socializing, rather it was because everyone preferred to ignore his existence and that forced him to be alone for as long as he can remember.
And that was the reason why he had become a pain in the ass with his jokes.
He just wanted everyone to realize that he lived in this village too.
But, back to the main topic, it seemed that Iruka had discovered a rather unique word in what Naruto had said.
"Masters?" Iruka couldn't help but raise an eyebrow with great curiosity.
"Surely you know them, they are well known!" Naruto would exclaim with a toothy grin. In fact, one of them is practically famous!" Those words only made the man's curiosity go through the roof.
Naruto stood up, giving him one last glance at the moon. "If you want, you can come with me." The blond looked at his teacher with a big toothy grin. "In fact, I would be very excited if you were with me on this special day as well."
Iruka looked surprised at her words. That surprise quickly changed to a smile.
"So, what are we waiting for?" Iruka rested a hand on his student's shoulder, getting him to smile.
Unbeknownst to either of them, an old man sitting from his desk was watching them through a ball.
The old man set his pipe aside as he blew out a puff of smoke.
"This day has finally come..." His gaze would drift to one of the paintings in the room, denoting a blond man who looked quite similar to Naruto, with the exception that he looked much older.
"I'm sure you would be very proud, Minato."
Naruto walked with his two arms behind his head while maintaining that bright smile. The look that all the villagers were giving them wasn't going to do anything to overshadow this great day.
Iruka walked beside him, watching Naruto with a small smile.
It was amazing to think that for all these years he hadn't been able to make a clone properly, but on the last day he managed to do it without any problems at all.
But now things made more sense.
Apparently, he had received quite adequate training without anyone noticing.
"Come to think of it, Naruto's clone did look kind of strange..." He thought, remembering how the clone appeared and disappeared through a smokescreen. "After all, clones are just illusions and couldn't project something like that..."
His thoughts continued for a long time, so he didn't notice when they reached a small park. He finally awoke from his unfounded dream when he heard Naruto shout and start running with his hand raised in a gesture of greeting.
Iruka looked to where he was headed, managing to make his jaw hit the ground after the giant surprise.
"Naruto!" A woman with violet hair that reached down to her waist stood up from the bench, opening her arms to receive the blond in a tight embrace.
She was much taller than him, it could be estimated that her age was somewhere between 19 or 20.
"Congratulations on your graduation!" The woman exclaimed as she hugged him even tighter, managing to get the blond's head between her breasts.
"This is all thanks to Yugao-Chan!" Naruto averted his gaze as best he could, to look at his other Sensei who had a strange smile on his face, though he clearly looked proud of his student. "You too, Eyebrow-Sensei!"
"I can feel it, Naruto..." The bushy-browed grown man closed his eyes and clenched his raised fist tightly. "I can feel it!" He shouted with great excitement, causing his teeth to gleam as he grinned, only to strike a somewhat ridiculous pose. "I can feel the flames of youth burn within you like never before!" A huge flaming sun would appear on his back, getting Iruka to fall flat on his back while Yugao and Naruto watched him with a nervous bead of sweat.
"It's been a year, but I really can't get used to Guy..." Yugao would think aloud, hugging Naruto even tighter, as if that would stop the man's somewhat strange influence from getting to him.
A moment of waking up Iruka later...
The four were enjoying their dangos while looking at the beautiful clear night sky tonight.
Since it was a bit late, there was no one in the place.
All in all, it was perfect. That way, Naruto wouldn't have to endure the stares of the villagers on such a special day like this.
"I didn't know anyone else would be joining us, so we didn't bring much." Yugao would comment, bowing his head to the teacher. "Sorry, Iruka."
"Eh, no worries." The man waved his hands, indicating that it really didn't bother him. "In fact, I'm grateful that the three of you shared one with me, since I came totally on the spur of the moment." He would conclude, getting the woman to raise her gaze with a smile.
"So, everyone was left with their mouths open..." Guy commented after hearing Naruto's story. "I guess that's normal, since everyone underestimates the great flames that lie within you." Big Eyebrow would raise his thumb, causing his teeth to gleam again.
"Well, I hadn't shown any kind of improvement all year either, so I can understand them..." The blond would comment as he rubbed his hair.
"Knowing how you are, you just wanted to tease them a bit, didn't you?" Yugao questioned with a small chuckle at the end, watching as the blond rubbed his cheek with a coy smile.
"You know me too well, Yugao-chan."
Iruka watched the interaction between the three of them, it looked all too natural.
He was very happy that Naruto had gotten more people to appreciate him besides him, the Third and those at the ramen stand.
But, to tell the truth, curiosity was what reigned supreme in his head at the moment.
"Excuse me, how long ago did you two meet?" the professor would inquire.
"Well, it's a very long story..." Naruto raised his gaze to the sky somewhat wistfully.
"I guess we have a long time..." Iruka commented, settling back on the bench as he took a bite of his dango.
"I think I should start even earlier..." Naruto would close his eyes, remembering the darkest time in his life.
Much darker than it was at this very moment...
"My consciousness awakened when I was 4 years old, it all started at the orphanage." Naruto would open his eyes, frowning at the memories.
"Or rather, right before I got the hell out of there..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
In his four years, Naruto was unable to remember how he had ended up in that place.
He only knew that he had no parents, and that those who worked at the daycare always seemed to keep him away from the other infants. Many times they would see to it that he didn't hear what he said to the other children, but sometimes they just weren't careful enough.
"It's not a good idea for you to hang out with him."
"Stay away from that thing."
"Don't let its appearance fool you, it's a demon."
He didn't know what he had done to be treated that way.
He only knew one thing...
He wanted to leave.
He wanted to get as far away from this place as possible.
Luckily, the usual old man came to visit him and he could tell he wasn't being treated well at all when Naruto told him about his regrets.
That old man was the only one who always went to visit him, and the only one who seemed to have some appreciation for him.
His name was Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he always called him old man. He did not do it to insult him, it was just an affectionate nickname.
Hiruzen finally let him leave that place and got him a small apartment in the red zone of the village. It was the most dangerous area, but Naruto didn't seem to mind.
Probably because he was too small to realize what danger meant. Besides he couldn't think about it, as there was only happiness to be found in him after he left the dreadful place where he was treated like some kind of monster.
That happiness did not last long, as he quickly realized that the orphanage was not the only place that seemed to hate him.
The whole village was looking at him with those eyes covered with rage and hatred that made him shudder all over.
At first he tried to be nice, but when he saw everyone ignoring him, cursing him and kicking him out of their tents, he simply couldn't keep up that attitude any longer.
For a while, he could only run from all those stares while crying non-stop.
It didn't take him more than a year to get used to those looks and the way he was treated. Although "getting used to" was a word that should be taken with several tongs on this occasion.
After all, no one would appreciate being sold rotten food or food three times as expensive as it really cost.
What Hiruzen would give him to hold out for a month would only last him a week.
After that, he had to scavenge in order to continue to subsist.
This process had gone on for quite some time, until one rainy day he was guided by the smell of something that looked really delicious. Just imagining it made his mouth water, although it could not be noticed because of the rain.
When he approached the small stall and peeked through the curtains, the owner greeted him with some surprise at first. But his own surprise was the greatest when he noticed how the man smiled at him shortly after while gesturing for him to enter.
From that day on, he had become addicted to ramen.
He labeled it as the food of the gods.
After a year of leaving the orphanage, he had finally found some happiness, besides the recurring visits from the old man. Which, by the way, Naruto had never said anything to him about people's treatment so as not to worry him, although the old man seemed to be a bit aware of everything that was going on.
He knew that this was something inevitable, and that it would only be worse if he forced them to treat him well. Besides Naruto wasn't an idiot, so he would instantly realize that something strange would be going on.
The simplest option would be to announce Naruto's provenance, but he knew quite well that this would only bring far more problems than solutions.
After all, the late Fourth Hokage was not well liked by certain outsiders...
That was why he turned a blind eye all this time.
At least, that was the case until he turned six.
He simply couldn't ignore what happened.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't help but grimace after feeling how his whole body was completely sore and numb.
The first thing he distinguished was a rather strange smell, a really suffocating disinfectant smell.
The second thing he could witness, was in the completely white room he was in. Even the bed and his clothes were that color.
What Naruto didn't know at the moment, was that this unusual sight would become quite common as the years went by.
His gaze drifted to the side, watching as a woman in a white suit looked at him for a few short seconds.
That look...
They were all the same...
The woman left him after seeing that he was awake, causing Naruto to keep his questions in his mouth.
To his luck, the restlessness didn't increase much more due to Hiruzen walking in shortly after.
"How are you feeling?" He would ask, sitting down near the blond.
"Where am I?" Naruto asked another question, getting Hiruzen's frown to mark even more.
"This is the hospital. A drunk attacked you yesterday, or so we thought." Was the blunt reply. "After all, they were minor blows, except for your head."
"What's wrong with my head?" Naruto brought a hand to his forehead, noticing that a large bandage was wrapped around it just above his eyes.
"The damage suggests someone hit you with a bottle." After hearing those words, Naruto couldn't help but wince as memories of that night began to hit him.
"I think I remember him. It was a man..." Naruto said, getting Hiruzen's gaze to intensify.
"Do you remember what he looked like? We could punish him for what he did." The old man suggested.
"Forget it..." Naruto replied instantly. His gaze softened considerably as he recalled the event.
"Aren't you upset about what he did to you?" Hiruzen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at the blond's surprisingly calm reaction.
"Well..." Naruto rubbed his cheek, remembering all too well what the man was yelling as he hit him.
"I can't hate someone who was crying uncontrollably while yelling at me to bring his wife and son back."
Hiruzen rearranged himself in his chair after seeing Naruto's calm smile. That made him smile as well.
"You're very noble for only six years old." He replied, his smile increasing a little more as he began to smoke.
Despite the painful life he was leading, he was sure Naruto was smiling a lot more lately. It was probably due to that ramen stand and the kind owners that manned it. Though the reality was that he would never know, after all, he can't get inside Naruto's head to study his true thoughts.
All of the above aside, one thing was clear.
This didn't have to happen again.
The frown returned to the old man as he exhaled the smoke, getting Naruto to look at him with intrigue.
"From now on, I'll send someone to take care of you. At least until you enter the Academy." Declared the old man just before he stood up, getting Naruto to look at him with wide eyes.
"Wait, I know you're someone important because of everything you've given me so far, but I don't want to bother you any more either, old man." Naruto tried to get up, but it was impossible due to his head booming like hell.
Hiruzen paused at the door, then delivered one last glance to Naruto.
"Do you know the meaning of the word Hokage?" He would ask him as smoke emanated from his nose and mouth.
"Huh...?" Naruto could only tilt his head to the side, implying that he had no idea.
"I suppose they could give you a couple of quick lessons before you enter the Academy..." The old man said loudly, leaving the room.
That made Naruto's curiosity spike even more.
But that curiosity was replaced by a great emptiness in his stomach.
It wasn't hunger, it was nerves.
He was too nervous, since everyone hated him, taking away the old man and the owners of the ramen stand.
He didn't know what to expect from his future protector(s), so anxiety began to overpower him.
An anxiety that he would have to endure for a couple of days until he could get out of the hospital.
Having those days of advantage, Hiruzen caught up with the different ninjas that could be of use for what he had in mind.
The old man was looking at different papers with the records of the ninja that were in the village.
At first, he didn't think that finding bodyguards for Naruto could be so difficult.
Basically it was because so many hated the boy. Those who didn't hate him were very new to the trade, and wouldn't serve as such. Those that were left, were veterans who would not be willing to take care of a child.
Hiruzen thought for a moment of giving that role to Kakashi Hatake, a great ninja who had some relationship with the blond for external reasons. Still, that idea was instantly dismissed, because the man was overcoming his traumas, and though he had mostly done so, he was still stuck in ANBU.
His thoughts returned to a certain student he had had.
No way. He didn't want Naruto to become a pervert because of Jiraiya. Besides, he was one of the great ninja of this village, and he had been given a special mission of extra espionage, so Naruto would simply be a burden to him if he had to take him from place to place through his spy networks. In fact, the brat would be at even more risk than at present if he went with Jiraiya for obvious reasons.
So, his other student...
Tsunade? Where was she?
Hiruzen couldn't help but rest his hand on his chin, then let out a heavy sigh of exhaustion.
"How could this be so complicated?" the old man said to himself.
At that moment, his eyes caught something interesting.
A purple hair.
Hiruzen removed a few records until he came to a teenage girl of about thirteen.
"Yugao Uzuki."
"Chunnin."
The old man took the paper, then grabbed another with his other hand.
He was also a teenager of thirteen. He stood with a smile in the picture, unlike the girl who was very serious.
"Hayate GekkÅ"
"Chunnin."
"They are not of the highest ranks, but they could serve me if they go together..." Thought the man, looking at the picture of the two. "Besides, they have several C and B rank missions on record, plus the man has 5 A rank and the woman has 8." His gaze lowered, denoting that they also possessed a high ranking with respect to their studies. "Looking at the record, I'm sure they could become Jounin in two years or less." His eyes flashed with great astuteness as he took another puff of his pipe.
"In fact, they could get there even faster..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"So you met Naruto because of a mission entrusted by the Third?" Iruka would cross his arms, becoming a bit perplexed at the story. "But aren't escort or protection missions classified as C-rank?" The man would look at her with great confusion. "You recently told me that they wanted to become ANBU as quickly as possible, so it doesn't quite add up to me. Especially since it was going to be a mission that would last about 12 months, considering Naruto had just turned 6."
"That's partly true..." The woman would comment as she rubbed her hair with an embarrassed smile. "At first, I wanted to help Naruto since I thought it was really horrible what the Third had told me, but Hayate didn't quite agree with that, since we'd be too far behind on our goal." Yugao abandoned his embarrassed look, sketching a tiny smile. "But, the final proposal was really tempting, both for me and my boyfriend."
That last made the three of them pay special attention, as neither Naruto nor Guy had heard that part.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"What did he say...?" Hayate was skeptical, chalking it up to his poor hearing.
"I just said that this C-rank mission won't be very normal to say the least." The old man commented, puffing out a puff of smoke. "If you manage to accomplish it, I'll make sure you get promoted to Jounin as a reward." His eyes narrowed. "Doesn't that sound like a good proposal?"
Yugao would look at his boyfriend with a hopeful smile after what he heard. Hayate was a bit hesitant at first, but would eventually end up nodding.
"I don't like the idea of becoming a babysitter, but this brings us closer to our dream." He commented, delivering a smile to his beloved, a smile that was returned with much more energy.
"In person they are the complete opposite of what you see in their pictures..." The old man thought, remembering how Yugao looked like a rather serious girl while Hayate had an aura of happiness around her.
After telling him the day and place they were to meet Naruto, Hiruzen dismissed them from his office.
"Even though they graduated at 10 years old, it's impressive that they completed so many missions in just three years." He concluded, seeing in the record that the two had gone through all three years of the Academy together, even having ended up in the same Genin group with a girl two years older than them named Kurenai.
Apparently, having been together for so many years caused a rather deep relationship to build between the two of them.
That only made the job easier.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"That's how I was able to meet Yugao-Chan!" Naruto exclaimed with a big smile as he adjusted his bandana. "She brought back delicious things and taught me many things about this village over time!" Naruto increased his smile a little more after fixing his gaze on the violet haired woman. "That's why I love her so much!" He would conclude, getting Yugao to smile with great tenderness after hearing his words.
"And what happened with Hayate?" Iruka's question made Naruto a little nervous. "I guess you get along with him pretty well too, don't you?"
That question made Yugao start laughing, getting Naruto even more nervous.
"Hayate wasn't too happy with the idea of taking care of Naruto, and let's just say Naruto didn't like Hayate being too close with me at times." The woman would stop laughing, wiping away the small tear at the hilarious memories. "They could never get along, though I wouldn't say they had a bad relationship either."
"I'm sorry I behaved that way..." Naruto couldn't help but rub his cheek with a blush on his face, showing how embarrassed he was.
Naruto's look would change a little, though no one noticed, only that it was for a second.
That change had been the result of a certain memory of a ring made of wires.
It really hurt him to dig into that past.
At the time it hurt like hell.
And every time he remembered it, it only made it hurt that much more...
"The story is interesting enough, but it still doesn't fit Guy into it." Iruka would comment, looking at the bushy-browed man.
"Well, I think it would be best to tell this part of the journey as quickly as possible." Naruto commented, raising his gaze as he thought. "I don't think you want to hear how Yugao-Chan pampered and cared for me for a whole year, so let's skip straight to my seventh birthday."
No one seemed to notice, but when Naruto said that, Yugao looked down at the ground with some remorse. His fists clenched and his eyes became exceedingly saddened.
The only one who seemed to notice such a drastic change was Iruka, who couldn't help but look at the woman with some curiosity.
"He had recently started the Academy, that meant that Yugao and Hayate's mission was already over. Anyway, Yugao was still coming every day to see me."
"Happy birthday!"
Yugao handed a green colored protector that possessed a pair of glasses to a Naruto who looked like he was on the verge of tears after receiving another gift other than from the old man.
Especially since it was a gift from her?
Naruto couldn't help but draw a toothy smile at the memories.
"When I woke up the next day, I heard people talking about a new war..."
Yugao's posture became extremely tense after hearing those words.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Naruto would spit out the toothpaste, delivering a rather goofy smile to the mirror.
That moment was cut short when he heard certain murmurs from outside his apartment.
Naruto walked over to the window curiously, leaning against the window frame.
"Did you know that the Kirigakure Resistance called for reinforcements to Konoha?" Naruto's ears grew larger after hearing the comment.
"Who would have thought that the Mizukage would go crazy enough to murder his own people just because they have a Kekkei Genkai?"
"It is said that the village sent a large amount of their Jounin and ANBUS, as the Resistance Leader proposed a large amount of resources..."
The woman's voice became much less audible, as Naruto had stopped listening the moment she mentioned about the Jounin's departure.
Naruto went to the Academy like an ordinary day, where he had to sit alone for obvious reasons.
It didn't help that parents always whispered barbarities to their children when they heard that the blond was going to be in the same class.
Time passed, the night would come, and at that moment, Naruto learned that Yugao was no longer in the village.
"She never takes this long to come..." He thought aloud as he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
His gaze remained lost for a while, until finally a few words left his lips.
"I wish you the best of luck, Yugao-Chan..."
Thus, the days went by...
The days turned into months...
and months into years...
THAT'S IT!
(remember that this is just a translation and English is not my main language. Any error that really bothers the reading, please tell me about it, and I will try to correct it immediately. In the meantime, I will try to improve the translation as much as I can. Thanks for your understanding!)
As I said earlier, this is just a draft and I will most likely change a few things. In this case, I don't think it's changing, but rather, adding. If this story is the winner, I would like to make a complete prologue of Naruto's childhood, how he met Guy and what happened in the Academy, why Yugao was so bad when Naruto started narrating the last part of the story (and no, it's not because Hayate died in the war or something like that. He's still alive nowadays, I just don't present him as such) and more.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them and I'll answer them right away.
Remember that this is a story that is being voted, so no more chapters will be published until the voting is over, as long as it comes out as one of the winners.
Getting back to the story, I know there were several age readjustments, but I needed to do it to make it all fit together in the best possible way. I could have made Yugao even younger, but I didn't because it wouldn't fit with what's been presented so far, plus it would lose the fun. After all, I think the age difference is one of the interesting points of this fic.
Relax, I think I'm pretty decent about my mentality, so there won't be lemon until Naruto is the right age.
I know some of you might be a bit stifled because everything narrated has been just flashbacks, but I think I see it necessary to place the story in the best possible way.
I hope you liked how I went about this, since I'm pretty new to Naruto fics.
Have a nice day!
