Naruto didn't really want to be a shinobi, however, being the scion of the Uzumaki dynasty, he feels duty bound to carry on the legacy of his ancestors. That's all he wants. It should be simple, it should be easy. Learn sealing, find a suitable mate and continue the Uzumaki line. Unfortunately he was always easily distracted. (AU – The village never learns of Naruto's inner demon)
Magic should make life worth living. It should solve all problems. Yet all it does is create more. (OOC Harry Potter AU, rebuilding the series from the bottom up.)
