He is a black stain to their perfection. He is on the inside, but on the outskirts of it. Because two is a unit. And three? Three is extra. All he wants is to disappear. Let them forget a Spring that is already dead. ( This story is strictly NOT OWNED by ME(phantomhiveneko). It is own by CANNIBAL INC and Naruto is not own by me or her). A NARUTO fanfiction. Eventough this look a tad bit shorter but imma tell ya its a goooooooood story XD

I AM JOHN SMITH!!! Cid Kagenou (Shadow) continues his journey...next stop? Well...it seems that on the to do list here he has: Clap some cheeks Clap some cheeks Clap even more.... ... ... ... Get cucked....wait what? No...wrong list. Uhmmm....read to find out more? P.S. - There is no ****olding at this time. There is NTR though. Oh yes, there is 100% NTR...well, and the opposite of ****olding. Now....what do we call female ***********. Apparently I can't say it here so hurry up and start reading ************************!!!

Naruto loves Sakura - there's no doubt about that. But, he was willing to dial back his own feelings and simply "be friends" with her to help improve the teamwork dynamic of Team 7. However, when even that effort is received poorly, he changes tactics entirely. "I do still love her, believe it...but for the sake of our team becoming the absolute best ever, I'll back off and leave her alone." Will it work? And with all the constant rejections she receives from Sasuke, will Sakura come to miss the pining of her knuckleheaded teammate? ***I don't own any part of Naruto! Masashi Kishimoto owns it all!***

What if Cid chose to date Alexia instead of rejecting her? What if the "Master" of Shadow Garden took a more active role in the girl's lives? What if he noticed and accepted their feelings? How would the story play differently? N.B. - Not an Alexia-only romance story but rather a harem story.
