Permanent
Gods help us all this was supposed to be pure unadulterated fluff in the vein of lexjamandme with a happy ending and everything yet instead it turned out to be what lurks below. It was inspired by the David Cook song Permanent. I give you people fair WARNING: This is angsty, it made a friend of mine cry. It's also ItaNaru so if you read and don't like the pairing, no flaming it. You can flame ME as an author but leave the pairing alone.
It's the canon timeline starting at just before Naruto, Sakura, Sai, and Yamato go a Sasuke hunting. That means Naruto is 16.
