Author’s note: This chapter is from Naruto’s dream, recalling his childhood in Konoha and upbringing with Itachi. It’s definitely darker. Not bad, just sad. So get ready. And the chapter still being edited, so please forgive any typos, etc. Also, check out the gorgeous art by anonaruto for Chapter 26. I think she’s captured Naruto […]
