What if Hiruzen's priority for Team 7 was not just survival, but ensuring they thrive? To make this happen, he brings in a second sensei: the fierce, purple-haired kunoichi, Anko Mitarashi, alongside Kakashi. With both of them guiding Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, the team starts off like canon—but their journey soon takes a different path. Crossposted on AO3 and Wattpad.
