'Happiness?! Hah! You'll never have a happy ending in your life. Monsters like you don't deserve one.' When Zeri Kazahe was young, she never understood why her clan was so secretive and quiet about themselves - always moving about silently and stealthily, but she followed her parents' instructions without a second thought. Now, she's understood the reason why - to avoid those who hunted them down. Zeri wants nothing more than to be free from everyone who's coming after her, and when she takes that opportunity when Orochimaru sends her to the Akatsuki. Zeri escapes, ending up at the gates of the Leaf Village, free at last , only to be chained down once again when the Hokage makes a deal with her. He will allow her to stay in the village, only if she is put in a squad and doesn't cause trouble. Her mysterious and cold demeanor confuse and intrigue her teammates and everyone around her, and so many questions go unanswered - who exactly is she, and what is the extent of her power? (You'll have to read to find out! ;) On a side note, there is romance in this story haha! And no, I'm not telling who her love interest is :P Thanks for reading!)

Kushina and Minato always knew that she was pregnant with twins, but knowledge can sometimes be a burden. Kushina being the host of the Jinjuriki and Minato being Hokage, the twins had to be a secret besides the select few. The night the Nine Tails was let loose by the masked man, Minato sealed the Nine Tails into his two newborns; Naruto and Karuta Uzumaki. The masked man then stole the female twin and raised her as his own. This is her story. OCxSasuke

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS TEAM EIGHT UNLEASHED) The Shinobi world is a harsh, unforgiving place. Akari Kita knows this. And yet, it's been her dream to become a Ninja, and impress her family, as well as the Clan she seems to inherit no skills from. The Kita Clan is renowned in the Village Hidden in the Leaves for their spectacular Taijutsu skills. And then there's Akari, who ends up pressed into the dirt no matter who she fights in Taijutsu. Despite this, she's determined to uphold the name of her Clan, and to be the best Shinobi she can be for her Village. But along the way, Akari discovers a tragic moment in her past that will change her view of the world forever. Everyone will be shocked, even a certain cool-headed silver-haired Jonin who just happens to take a liking to Akari. She'll face dangers and enemies, but she'll have her teammates with her. Will she survive this world, where one false move, one bit of bad information, can get you killed? Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO (though how freaking awesome would that be?) I only own Akari and whatever other characters aren't from the series. And I own the changes to the plot. But other than that, I OWN NOTHING.

When Orochimaru's most prized possession is lost and found by the Hidden Leaf, what will they do? And what will Orochimaru do to get it back? Did I mention, his prize is his daughter?
