(SasuNaru | Canon Divergent AU | Slow Burn | Angst/Comfort | Touch-Starved Naruto). (Not my art,not my characters)
Welcome to a Naruto AU where everything is almost the same... except for the things that matter most.
In this version of the story:
Naruto is still the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, sealed inside him since the night he was born.
But Kurama's power left a more physical mark-not just the seal, not just the chakra.
Naruto was born with bright orange fox ears and two fluffy tails. They make him stand out. They make him hated.
He's still the outcast.
Still the knuckleheaded ninja.
Still on Team 7, with Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke.
But years of being feared, avoided, and ridiculed-especially by the girl he thought he loved-have left deeper scars.
Naruto doesn't just feel alone. He believes he's unlovable.
He believes that if he could just be normal, someone might finally accept him.
What he doesn't know is that Sasuke's been watching him all along.
That his rival-cold, sharp-tongued, distant-has always seen the boy behind the fox.
And that one night, in the rain, when Naruto is at his lowest, Sasuke won't let him fall apart.
