   Summary

   Naruto Uzumaki was never going to stay hidden.
   When the Akatsuki dared to take Kashi, they had no idea who they’d crossed. Naruto might be a kid, but he’s also the son of the genius ninja Kakashi Hatake. That means he’ll find a way to bring Kashi home, no matter what. Sage Mode. Shinobi terrorists. Pain himself. Bring it on. Naruto will face down the Sage himself if it means saving the man who raised him.
   Because for Naruto, “family” isn’t who you’re born to. It’s who you bleed for.

   (A missing-nin Kakashi raises Naruto AU with sage-mode shenanigans, feral but supportive Kurama, the unyielding loyalty that is Maito Gai, and the unrelenting chaos that is Naruto’s “you hurt my dad” mode. Sequel to The Fox Runs to Sand.)
