Originally I was planning to kill Yukiko at some point, but the story kind of got away from me. As of now, it is officially an AU. In canon, Yukiko was one of the many victims of the Kyuubi's attack, and so never had the chance to meet Naruto.

I am trying to stay very close to canon backstory, though, so Naruto isn't going to suddenly become accepted by everyone in Konoha, Yukiko and Naga aren't going to save the village or anything, and yes, Itachi's still going to kill all the Uchiha in about two years. (Including Akaro. *pets poor, silly Akaro*)
