   Summary

   Maybe the fate of Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha Clan could have been changed if Itachi had just had one more family member he could trust -- someone as powerful, invested in Konoha, and devoted to the clan as him. Someone with a little extra knowledge up her sleeve.

   Unfortunately for Itachi, the Uchiha's abysmal luck with siblings has given him... Kaeru.

   Bookmarker's Notes

   A great pair of fics I need to re-read; sold me on the potential of a dynamic between Izuna and Tobirama. Good characterization and worldbuilding.
