Summary
What if circumstances had been just a little different? What would have happened if Kiba, Sakura, and Chouji truly were kidnapped by Kakuzu when they met with him that fateful morning when they had been eight years old? How would that turn out?
Or!
Y'all remember that one scene in Chapter 15 of Old Man by the Bar in which the kids are 'kidnapped' by Kuzu? Well, here's my take on a universe in which he actually did kidnap them. AU of an AU baby! We now have the Akatsuki being soft people because children are adorable.

Summary
The children had grown on him.
Danzou Shimura had never been one for sentimentality about those he cared for, much less about those that had been assigned roles of utter necessity. He had never been one for indulgence, more than aware of the corruption even the smallest of treats could catalyze, and he had never been the sort with a soft heart.
In truth, he still was not. He did not indulge the pack any further than he considered both necessary for his objective and acceptable within established parameters. He was not a kind and warm caretaker that laughed along with their mischief or that allowed laziness and mediocrity to flourish within the children. He was not, by many means, a soft teacher.
But he cared. And that was a development he would never have been capable of foreseeing when he first decided to take on this difficult task for the sake of his village.
OR!
As a treat to myself, I wrote a quick AU one-shot where Danzou is nice and everyone gets along. Yes, even Kakuzu. That's why OOC is one of the tags (I feel like they're not, but, y'know, better safe than sorry).
