Crossing Dreams

Sorry for coming so late to the conversation, but I agree that Kakashi has nothing but himself to blame for Naruto's hate. People give him a pass because of his age but he didn't have to raise Naruto. He could have at least checked up on him from time to time, gave him a hand, stopped some of the harassment. I believe that Naruto's neglect and abuse was a planned thing. Keep him down and make sure the Hokage was the only good thing in his life. Very Dumbledore-ish now that I think about it. I'm also a sucker for Orochimaru redemption stories. There are way too few. Thanks for a good read.
