(AU Story with many aspects of it changed. Also on FF, A03, Webnovel, and (hopefully lol) RR! Early Chapters a little rough, not with mistakes per say but I've grown alot since chapter 1.) Naruto Uzumaki will endeavor to become the best shinobi he can be, but he will encounter a world of pain and despair in the process. Can Naruto Uzumaki stay true to his ideals and passion? Can he, in the process, change the world around him? Or is this cruel world bound to be this way? Despite it All.
