Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It is a philosophy. Kintsugi treats damage and repair as a part of the object's history instead of something that needs to be disguised. The broken boy next door had never really been nice to you. The mended man home from incarceration wants to repair all of the damage he has done to your heart.

the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Shikamaru's elder sister, Y/n Nara, disappeared at age 16. As a known friend to Itachi, her whereabouts become a concern for the Leaf Village. Y/n has a clan kekkei genkai that hasn't reappeared in the bloodline since the founder of the Nara clan, making her the strongest of the Nara's and somone the village has high hopes for. Now that she's home, is there someone who can get her to stay? ••• The story ends in a place that makes sense, so I'm pausing updates for awhile. Might come back and add more to it, might not. It's complete enough as is tho:) ••• To explain the ages, Y/n is the same age as Itachi meaning Kakashi is 8 years older and Shikamaru is 5 years younger. Y/n returns to the village at 18, so hopefully that helps with the age difference between her and Kakashi. ••• There are a million Naruto based fanfics, but I had to add my own. I love it too much not to. I'm not watching the anime currently, so the timeline and scenes might not be perfect. But, it'll be close enough and the story will still be good af. As always, I don't own anythinggggg from Naruto. All of it belongs to the legend, Masashi Kishimoto.
