  Summary

  “If Things Began Sooner,” or ITBS, is a fanfic about what could’ve happened if Naruto joined Sasuke in his redemption journey. If your brain is a bit foggy, Sasuke’s redemption journey is the trip he took after his battle and hospitalization with Naruto in the Valley of the End/konoha hospital. This was directly after Kaguya and Madara were defeated in the 4th Great Ninja War. Anyways, I’m not sure how exactly this story is gonna end up, but I do have a lot of plans for it. This story branches off of canon, however it is still very much my own story. Happy reading!

  P.S: I know that I’m pretty lazy so the chances of me finishing aren’t very high. Also usuratonkachi means loser or idiot.
