Summary
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 for a numbed, romantically clueless Hinata as they face the harsh realities of shinobi life. Non-Uchiha-massacre. Slow build for characterization. A little angsty, heavy themes, still some humor, happy ending. (Yes, they have sex.)
This story diverges from canon so some events have obviously changed. Characters are not their usual selves: a not so goofy Naruto with social graces; an emotionally stable Sasuke (gasp!); a responsible Jiraiya; an alive and doting Itachi; an undead, supportive Neji; and a quiet, but non-shy Hinata who doesn't try to change her fate.
Or, NaruHina re-imagined where Naruto becomes a flustered mess around her and Hinata learns to understand what love is.
