Orochimaru never became a missing-nin. The Fourth Hokage still stood tall. There was no Uchiha Massacre. The Akatsuki never existed. Madara never became a problem. What could go wrong in such a perfect world? Sakura Haruno had always been alone, and at thirteen, she abandoned Konoha. She had to run from her past, but what exactly would wait for her in her future? @NarutoWattyAwards 2014 Third Place Winner in the General Naruto Category! *Written from 2013-2015*

Forsake- to quit or leave entirely: Forsaken- abandoned or deserted. Naruto Namikaze, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. Three members of team seven. Three strong ninja. Everything in their lives were fine when they were together. When they were alone things changed. Naruto has always been seen as the Fourth Hokage's Son. He wants to be known as Naruto Namikaze. The Konoha Twelve and their sensei's don't praise him as the Hokage's son. But when the truth about the nine tailed fox is discovered nine years after its sealing, Naruto isn't even recognized at all. Sasuke was always second. Second to be born. Second favorite. He was always behind his older brother. As the second son of the head of the clan, his father only wants the best of the best. And when Sasuke can't reach his brother's strength his father tries to arrange a marriage to send Sasuke away from the clan. Sakura was always picked on. Whether it be because of her big forehead, her pink hair, being called weak, or just being called useless. Sakura's parents disowned her and abused her because of her dream to become a ninja. Finally having enough of it Team Seven leaves Konoha. Book 1 of Team Seven Series. Book 2 : Elusive. I'm gonna say this now, I DO NOT own Naruto.

Hey...sorry to disappoint but it's been like three years since I last updated and I don't plan on updating this anymore. I started this series years ago as a middle schooler and I've since moved on in both my writing ability and what fandoms I'm interested in. I won't be completing this story, sorry if anyone was looking forward to an update. Thanks for reading and being so kind supportive. If anyone wants to pick this storyline up then go ahead I don't mind. This was the series that got me into writing. It showed me my love and passion for writing. For those of you who have read this or are just seeing this, don't be afraid to put your work out there for people to see. If it's a poem, original story, or even fanfiction keep writing and don't be afraid to show others whether it be your friends or readers from the internet. Thanks again. - Naomi :D

"He stares at me nonchalantly while leaning against my wall. He slowly walks towards me. What was he going to do? He looked down at me and slowly moved his hand down to my face and stroked my cheek. His onyx orbs gazed into my blue ones, and he leaned in. This wasn't supposed to happen. What have I done?" Disclaimer: This is being rewritten since I was 16 when I wrote this and there's a lot of cringe lol

"He chose your fate. You have to take over his job. His village. His place in the world. This is the life you have to live. So, what do you say? Do you accept the position as Orochimaru's successor?" When Kabuto manages to convince Haruno Sakura to become the Shodai Otokage, she finds out that this might be the best decision she's ever made. "Finally, I've done something right." Sequel: "Shinobi" Rewrite of: Red Skies (2013)

They were shinobi: machines trained from childhood to kill or be killed. They were experienced soldiers; tools even. And that's why you can't blame them for being idiots in everything else.

"And you're surprised that your son gets a heart attack when you leave your arm in the living room." "I don't care! We're watching the entire fourth season of Kunoichi Diaries and you're going to learn whether you like it or not!" :: Cover By: Cosmo_Cat924

I've known Hidan for a long time before I met my demise. To me, he was just a fool who praised a god who didn't exist. But when I became a Shinigami and read the story of Hidan's life, I realized that I was horribly mistaken. He wasn't all that I thought he was. Hidan of the Akatsuki was a man who wanted to give everything up for the only person he would ever love, but, maybe I was right on some parts. He was a fool- but the special kind. @NarutoWattyAwards Summer 2014 Third Place Winner in the Akatsuki Category!
