If everything has followed a different course from the very beginning than it did in the original world, what will things become in the end? Will Naruto still protect the Hidden Leaf Village? Or will protecting the people who are "worth it" be enough?
The following contains major warnings. Continue reading if you can accept them.
1. The timeline is messy and may differ from the original. I'll do my best to keep the changes minor.
2. The characters may be seriously out of character. The plot and setting follow my own interpretation.
3. Pairing undecided, and there may be no pairing.
4. Naruto will become corrupted, but his parents are still alive, so he can't become all that corrupted.
5. Updates are irregular.
6. If you notice a character acting out of character, feel free to offer comments or suggestions. I may not change it, not for any other reason, but because my skills are limited...
Theme: I just wanted to make up for the regrets I had when I watched Naruto back then.
