"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?"

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.

(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.

Living in the woods after being kicked out of the orphanage, Naruto Uzumaki is faced with a slew of impossible to make choices when he finds a half-dead stranger with no eyes washed up on the bank of the river in front of his makeshift home. Knowing that whoever did this to The Stranger is still out there, and that nobody will believe him if he tries to get help, Naruto rolls up his sleeves and decides he's going to do it himself. Whoever this boy is, Naruto is going to save him. Even if he has to read a book to do it. Healing doesn't come easy to someone with as much chakra as Naruto has, but never let it be said that he backs down from a challenge. He's going to do this, and who knows. Maybe he'll unravel one of Konoha's darkest and best kept secrets whilst he does. Or: Naruto finds Shisui Uchiha half dead on the bank of a river and learns medical ninjutsu to save him. Now, if only Shisui could remember who hurt him to begin with.

Itachi wore two rings - one belonged to the Akatsuki, and the other meant he belonged to someone else. He worked most days with the mercenary group, and on the weekends he returned to his young wife who couldn't remember her life before Amegakure. [a collection of itasaku married life] amegakure au

Leon Scott Kennedy had it embarrassingly bad for the back row kid with the pink hair. Meanwhile, Sakura Hoshigaki could only squint at her phone and wonder why she was getting so many texts from the football team's pretty boy. (part 1/4 of "the lemonade stand" series)

She was kidnapped, taken in the dead of night. But an interruption, something unexpected, has the Kumor leaving her for dead, blinding her along the way. Left alone, Hinata is expected to die. What good is a weak, blind Hyuga? But that day, she was blessed by the rain. God, his Angel, and Amegakure welcome refugees, and welcome Hinata. Not as a Hyuga. Not as a stranger. But as a citizen. 1. in #ame - 7/24/20

The road home was going to be a long one, filled with strange ninja and corrupted village roots. Fortunately, Sakura would learn a few things along the way-about herself-and the world around her. CURRENT STATUS - HIATUS NOT FINISHED MOSTLY UNEDITED DO NOT STEAL
