Summary
In another life, Orochimaru never leaves Konoha, opting to remain within the village that equally reveres and reviles him. Fighting a bitter battle against forces within the village that are more influential and well-positioned, he finds himself gifted with one last shining opportunity: three children, a team of genin, handed to him because Konoha has no better choice. Orochimaru agrees to become a jounin-sensei for the first and the last time, taking on the next generation's Team Seven: Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, and Uzumaki Naruto.
[ A gradual exploration of the author's very liberal Naruto headcanon, with a good!Orochimaru (well, sorta good) who eventually becomes the Godaime Hokage. Lots of chakra theory, cool jutsu, in-depth backstories, character development, political intrigue, and den mother Orochimaru feels! Also featuring: BAMF baby Team 7! Be prepared to suspend your disbelief; this will be another one of my long-running intense worldbuilding AUs. Let's go have fun! ]

Summary
What if the story told about the Konoha’s Hero was the wrong one?
Shikamaru should have known. They should have been prepared for this. His father never failed to remind him: "Never forsake a pawn for another. A single piece can change the entire tide of the game."
9 Pawns. 2 Knights. 11 Pieces displaced through time. Will it be enough to save the King?
OR
The story where Shikamaru made one wrong calculation, the Gang missed all the signs, Kakashi forgot the real meaning of a 'Village' led to Konoha losing its Jinchuuriki. Conversely, Sasuke was the first to reach out.
"They're not my friends, merely classmates and nothing more." The young Uzumaki hastily denied, ignoring the piercing look shot by the infamous Kyuubi.

Because, in the end, Naruto doesn't make friends, only acquaintances.(Current Arc: Pre-Genin Days).
UNDERGOING REVISIONS.
