AU/OOC NaruHina: A still-orphaned Naruto raised properly by adults. A dutiful Hinata trained as an assassin. This time, adopted by the Uchihas, a happy, well-adjusted Naruto falls hard for a numbed, romantically clueless Hinata as they face the harsh realities of shinobi life. Non-Uchiha-massacre. Slow build for characterization and devlopment. A little angsty, heavy themes, still some humor, happy ending. (Yes, they have sex.) Or, NaruHina re-imagined where Naruto is the flustered mess and Hinata learns to understand what love is.
