The Third Hokage was dead. It wasn't enough. Team Eight knew loss like the seals on the backs of their tongues. They'd been silenced, branded, abandoned, ambushed, left on the enemy's doorstep like a gift--unlucky was their nickname, but they would make it their trade. The Third Hokage was dead. It was Danzo's turn. SEQUEL TO: Hoshigaki (2017-2019) Commissioned Cover by @AwesomeDragonTamer (caleb-crow on Tumblr; caleb_thalia_crow on Instagram) BETA: @OfCloves

(This is the sequel to my story, Six Years Too Long. You'll need to read that first to understand this one!) Six years after Minato Namikaze rose from the dead, Naruto's graduated the academy with a field of flowers in his mind and the best friends he could've ever asked for. Everything seems like it's going well... until it's not. Conspiracies within the village are keeping Minato on his toes, and Naruto's goal of world peace only seems to get further and further away from him as the Akatsuki stir and start to raise their heads. There are unknown enemies lurking around every corner, and it's up to Naruto and Kurama to stop them-- and who knows, maybe they'll have a little help when they do. (In the distance, the remnants of Uzu call, getting louder and louder each day. Naruto doesn't know what it means for him or for the rest of Team 7, but as the pull gets stronger and stronger, he has a feeling he's going to find out.) Or: Six years after the events of six years too long. (Cross posted on ao3)

The Fourth Hokage's body was never found, but they never suspected that was because he hadn't died. Minato Namikaze wakes up six years after the devastating Kyuubi attack, alone in an overgrown clearing with not a scratch on him. Disoriented and confused, he does exactly what any father would do in this situation. He fights through the pain, gets up, and goes to find his son. He trudges through the pounding in his head and forces himself to move-- to go and find him, because that masked man was still out there, and Minato is willing to do anything to protect his little ball of sunshine. Needless to say, the blonde kage wasn't expecting so much time to have passed. Nor is he very impressed with the way the village has been treating his son all these years.

Being put in a team with an arrogant emo, classicist jinchuriki, and a lazy pervert, not to forget that they are overprotective. Sakura always felt like she is being a burden and left behind, but everything changes when a strange red tattoo appears on her hand, and finds a strange ancient artifact in a hidden cave. She gets a strange book that contains a summoning spell and thinking it was just some stupid prank, she decides to humor the 'pranker' but actually ends up summoning the servant, but not a normal one. She decides to leave the Shinobi world and moves to Japan to have a 'normal' life. But karma is a bitch! Her teammates always manage to find her. Also, the Akatsuki is now interested in Sakura and the Uchiha just won't leave her alone. *really cringe!!!!*

In a second, the ninja world disappeared, discovering that it was just another island within the new world. Alone and devastated, in a world where her existence could be a danger to the world order, Sakura let herself go, waiting for her death until fate led her to certain pirates who gave her hope and a reason to live. Sakura embarks on a journey in the world full of secrets, adventures, dreams, chaos and feelings that she never thought she felt again.

Naruto's never lost. Sasuke's never gotten caught. Sakura's going to keep it that way. Kakashi doesn't want to be involved. Itachi doesn't know what to say. The Third Hokage is somewhat clueless. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura want to make it very clear that they were barely at fault. Everyone else disagrees. - - - Crack treated seriously!

"Sasuke didn't want to leave, didn't ever want to leave. So, he didn't. So, she didn't, either." After the war is over and after his jail time, Sasuke is ready to leave Konohagakure behind. After all, it was laced with bad memories and reminders of his past. When a curve ball in the form of a baby named Sanae is thrown at him, he knows nothing will be the same. But with the help of Team Seven, Sasuke will discover that he is capable of much more than he thought and, more importantly, that not every bond has to have a crack in it.

AU. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. Poor Sakura Haruno thought that nothing could be worse than having your parents ship you off to some mixed-gender Ninja Summer Camp program, especially when almost nobody she knew would be there. Add the fact that she was paired up with both the hyperactive blond kid who used to do horticulture and some rich guy whose only outward talent appeared to be gathering masses of fan girls, and a lazy cabin counselor whose favorite past time happened to be reading porn novels. Great. But just when she thinks it won't be so bad, things get weird. Counselors are disappearing, kids are freaking out, and rumors spread quickly of a terrible creature stalking their once-peaceful camp. When Sakura's best friend Ino finally goes missing, it spurs Cabin 7 into action - but will they be too late? Main pairings: SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, SaiIno, ShikaTema, and SuiKar.

Ino Yamanaka, the extroverted beauty, Sakura Haruno, the student librarian, Hinata Hyuuga, the aspiring pianist, and Tenten Ama, the karate powerhouse. When they're invited to a party hosted by the popular senior Itachi Uchiha, their worlds flip upside down when Sakura catches the eye of the most popular boy in their class...in disguise! Can she keep her secret for the sake of her reputation? And what's so bad about being wanted by the most handsome freshman in school? (Posted 2016 on my FF.net. Cover photo is not mine.)

There are certain reasons why you should not help Aang with angry spirits..... Ever. Because you might end up in a strange place where no one's ever heard of bending and are all so light on their stupid feet that you can hardly sense them coming. ATLA and Naruto crossover. Mostly Toph, though.
