Summary
Yukio graduates from the Academy at five years old.
She is small, silver-haired, and far too composed for her age. And now she’s on Team 7.
Naruto still dreams of becoming Hokage. Sasuke still wants revenge. Kakashi is still late.
But this Team 7 is different.
From the bell test to the Wave mission and the quiet month that follows, Yukio must learn what it means to be a good teammate and a good ninja.
And Kakashi must decide what it means to guide and protect a prodigy who reminds him far too much of himself.
A slow-build canon divergence exploring prodigy isolation, found family, and the bonds formed before everything begins to fracture.
New chapter every Sunday, barring acts of god, malicious cats (a chapter ends up needing more edits than I thought), and my star sign not being properly aligned with the life line on my right hand.
