Uchiha Sasuke.
Sabaku No Gaara.
Uzumaki Naruto.
Three boys, each plagued by their own personal demons.
The Uchiha Family Massacre, caused by Uchiha Itachi.
The Sand Demon, Shukaku.
The Nine Tailed Fox, Kyuubi no Kitsune
Three boys, so much alike and yet so different at the same time...each walks their own path.
The struggle to kill the only family he has left.
The struggle to hold back the maddening urges of the demon within.
The struggle to finally find where he belongs, to become the Hokage.
Each boy's goal is the same. They seek peace, to finally rest. However, each uses his own ends to achieve his goal.
But what if...things were different? What if the massacre had never happened? What if Shukaku had never been sealed into his container. What if...Uzumaki Naruto had grown up with people who cared? How would it be different?
The difference might not be as positive as you might think.
{{The challenge is this: write a story in which Gaara is not a demon container, but a regular young boy. Itachi did not go nuts and kill his family, so Sasuke has no reason to become an avenger. And Naruto is taken in at a young age...by the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru.
Must end with Naruto/Kin. Other pairings are your choice. Naruto must be loyal to his "father". Orochimaru raised and trained him, cared for him as no one else ever did. Therefore he will not betray his father. The story must focus on all three boys, not just Naruto.}}
