Summary
After Itachi's cover in the Akatsuki is blown, the truth about the Uchiha Massacre comes to light very suddenly and unexpectedly. Sasuke's entire world is flipped upside down, and Konoha itself is reeling from the knowledge that the murder of an entire clan was not only sanctioned, but covered up completely. Sasuke becomes determined to find out what happened to Itachi, and also to bring those who were really responsible for his clan's downfall to justice. Fortunately, he's not the only one who is horrified by the truth, and ends up finding unexpected allies that change how he sees himself, his brother, and his village. The problem is, he has no idea how to feel about Itachi, or if he's even still alive.
Updates on Tuesdays.

Although the premise of the fic seems to promise a lot of angst, it's actually REALLY well written,l. It just Suckwd me in like a black hole with engaging character interactions, all of them experiencing such depths of emotion, but in a really cathartic yet heart-warming way.
The dialogues are super lit and Sasuke's journey of healing and change in perspective is soo well written, I just kept smiling at this sweet little kid. Itachi is so stoic yet with so many hints of warmth and kindness right underneath. Naruto is also Super nicely written, you can tell why even random missing nin will gravitate towards him just because of his warm genuine personality.

Really hits the beat for all the major plotpoints. Ch 7 snip with Tsunade---
So what you’re telling me,” Tsunade growled through gritted teeth, “is that you were both orphans, young orphans, who were just dumped into empty apartments, with no guardian, and no support system?”“Yeah?” Naruto was clearly the only one who didn't understand what Tsunade was getting at. Jiraiya had a heavy frown on his face, and Kisame seemed to be snickering with amusement at the rising tension. And Itachi, for the first time since she’d met him, actually looked every bit the cold, heartless killer he was supposed to be.
Tsunade turned on Jiraiya. “What the fuck has been happening since I’ve been away? Now we’re lying to orphaned kids, and leaving them to fend for themselves?”
Jiraiya sighed. “Look, I know it’s not ideal but–”
“Would you stop trying to justify shitty orders?!” Tsunade snapped. “Because apparently it wasn’t enough to insult my grandfather’s legacy by having an entire clan wiped out, we also have to throw in some child neglect as well.”

Ch.8 Sasuke finds out Itachi is aliveThey all seemed to have an unspoken understanding of what the news about Itachi’s survival meant to Sasuke. This was his only living family. He didn’t need to think about why this was his only living family. Still, they all understood, or at least recognized Sasuke’s desperation enough to keep pushing themselves.

Heya I'm back with my bullshit! I've actually been working on this one for a while now and waited to publish until I had a good chunk of it written. I don't know exactly how long this will end up being, but probably over 100k since I'm almost at 80k right now and have plenty more to go. My hope is to finish writing the later chapters before I catch up with posting so I can maintain a steady posting schedule. So for now, updates will happen weekly on Tuesdays, and I'll let you all know if things change.
Ok background things! I did my best to stay true to canon but there were things that either wouldn't work with how this story diverges. Also keep in mind that this series as A TON of lore. It's a really long series and I've only watched it all the way through once so I'm not gonna get it all right. It's all canon divergence, so just go with it :) With that in mind, if you are looking for a basically canon adjacent story, this is probably not the one for you. I try to keep it close/realistic but I'm not going to split hairs to keep it perfectly canon at the expense of the story itself. tbh I never know what to say when people correct me on how something happened in canon...it's divergent, it's gonna diverge. Sorry.
Also I messed with the timeline a bit and Sasuke and Sakura both learn about the Kyuubi after the fight with Zabuza and Haku. It just didn't work with the story to keep them in the dark longer so we're gonna be diverging right from the start.
I'm also taking a lot of liberties with the political systems. And probably how certain techniques and such work too. So yes, I know that I'm not following how everything works in canon, but I hope it is more interesting in the context of the story. I assume you all are here for the story and not for a perfect re-telling of canon, so I hope it is satisfactory :)
