||Kakashi Hatake x Reader|| *Slow Updates* There is an old proverb that goes "When it rains it pours." It is often used to describe misfortune or difficult moments following one after another. Sometimes even happening all at once. You can also look at the proverb as something positive. When something good comes your way, more is bound to come. You're not worth much past a glance. That's just how it has been for you. You don't have a lot going for you. No special abilities or big ambitions. All you have is a small sum of money and a will to survive. It's not much, but maybe it will be enough to carve out a small chunk of this vast world for yourself. But somehow you catch a boy in your class's eyes. And they don't leave you. Even as time goes on he watches as you change and adapt to the turbulence weathers of life. And yet he somehow always gets surprised when he catches you looking back at him. If only the two of you could say the things you really want to say. ~~~ Started: November 20th 2025 Ended: TBD I think I started writing this in 2022 and it's been in my drafts for a while. *Slowburn and slow updates* (Kakashi x Reader) (Naruto x Mother!Reader) (This comes later) (Story by me) (I don't own Naruto or it's characters) (I don't own the cover images, I just found them online and turned them into a collage) Note: I'm not a big fan of Naruto. I only like a hand full of characters *cough* Kakashi and Naruto *cough*(Plus more but I love those two). I only watched some of the show and researched the universe so I can write this fic. I'm sorry in advance if I mess something up.

She died once... and woke up in Konoha as a child. With memories of another world, Y/N knows how everything will end-and who will be lost. This time, she refuses to watch it happen. With no power at first, only her mind, she begins to change fate-one decision at a time. But as new elemental powers awaken within her, so does a dangerous truth... Saving everyone might cost her everything.

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.
