Trial and Error
Characters/Pairings: Naruto
Warnings: None
Summary: Before he met Iruka, before he joined Team 7, Naruto was alone.
Comments: Naruto’s childhood breaks my heart, and this is just such a well-done fic about it. In all honesty, in the series, my two favorite characters are Naruto and Lee. Because they’re just so strong, no matter what anyone puts them through. And this is a thoughtful and well-done look at how Naruto’s life might well have been, and how Naruto’s so Naruto in his reactions to it. And I get disturbingly maternal about Naruto childhood fics.
Multi-chapter, incomplete.
