Summary
The night of the Nine-Tails’ attack left more than ruins in Konoha: it left a child, orphaned within hours of his birth. Aiko, a fifteen-year-old girl grieving the loss of her own baby, is asked to nurse him. What begins as duty grows into something deeper: love, fierce and unexpected, for the boy no one else seemed to want.
Kakashi, still reeling from the deaths of his sensei and Kushina, steps into their lives as protector and provider. Together, these two too-young caretakers shoulder the weight of raising Naruto in a village that fears him.
As the years pass, grief and duty twine with fragile domesticity: small joys in laughter and meals, found family in friends who gather around them, and intimacy that grows in the quiet spaces between war and loss. However, shadows linger. There are politics within the cracks of the village, the ANBU that are always watching, and the scars of old wounds which cause survival to demand choices neither of them feel ready to make.
Or a story about a grieving girl, a lonely shinobi, and the child who binds them together.
