I'm writing this for two reasons.
First, I had this idea in my head for a while, and I thought that if I wrote it, it would finally leave my head.
Second, I'm currently in the middle of rewriting my MHA fanfic, or at least trying to. I'm doing this as a way to get in the groove of writing all over again. I'm not sure if I'll finish this fic.
Even though I'm doing this as a way for me to get back in the thick of things, I'm not trying to write slob, so I will try to put some effort into this. So please cheer me up!
I'm using this as my timeline:

It has a few deviations, such as Itachi being 5 years older than Naruto instead of 7. But I think it makes the most sense.
