Kakanaru au where Uzu is still around when Minato and Kushina die, so Naruto is raised and trained there instead of konoha while the leaf recovers without a reminder of what happened running around the village.
He has a much happier childhood since the uzumaki, as seal masters, tend to have more respect for the jinchuriki and their tailed beasts
But years later when they hear word of the jinchurikis getting hunted down, they send Naruto back to the leaf where he’ll be safer from that kind of threat
Cue kakashi having a heart attack when he’s sees Naruto’s everything because that’s minato’s and kushina’s son but he’s so nghhhhhhh
#kakanaru#kknr#this was going to be Itanaru#where itachi kinda half assed his retrieval mission while kisame fought the uzumaki he was traveling with during the trip to konoha#cuz this is the last fucking thing he wants to be doing#but then Naruto wraps a chain around his ankle and tosses him into a tree a few times since he could still sense his chakra and illusions#have always acted funky when it comes to him#so upon getting hot for the first time in a long time during a fight he gets fixated on Naruto#hit*#and falls soooooo hard so fast#it’s love at first blood#and it keeps happening too#itachi gets sent to get Naruto#he and Naruto beat each others asses without either rly winning#during one fight itachi confesses#naruto makes him bight him to get healed bc omfg noooo his new bae can’t die#itachi bites down and it gets heated#other things happen idk#bite****
