PREFACE

The goal of this story is to portray the life and development of Uzumaki Naruto told in short, drabble-like chapters. Each chapter speaks of a different aspect of human growth: Pain, Resilience, Friendship, Betrayal, Love, and Fulfillment. When you think of it, every person—from infancy to adulthood—takes in various experiences and life lessons that mold them into who they are. This is my take on Naruto’s.

I really hope you all enjoy this light read as much as I enjoyed writing it. It was a fun break from all the brainstorming and writing I’ve had to do for FMCILY. I intend to have a companion story to this most likely surrounding Sasuke.

As an end note, for those of you who aren’t familiar with my fics, many of them (meaning all) are very yaoi/shonen-ai, yuri/shouj-ai, and het friendly. I believe that’s ample enough warning.
