The Great Ninja War is over. Naruto and Sasuke are friends again. Sasuke serves the Hidden Leaf Village. Kakashi is the Hokage. Naruto managed to make the five Kage establish normal, diplomatic relationships with each other. But, of course, many things still need to be done to achieve the ultimate perfection that Naruto dreams of. However, this story isn't focused on Naruto. It's a lost story about how Gaara felt the love of a woman for the first and the last time. After losing her, he refused to ever have any wife. It is a legend about the refugee ninja siblings from the faraway lands, who stopped by the village of the Hidden Sand. These ninjas seem normal and weak at first, but in fact, they possess unusual, dangerous powers...

As if by fate or luck, or maybe the simple strangeness of an encounter, Ying Yun was bound; a simple contract with a simple clause to pretend to be a blind concubine. Yet despite the glimmering gold and the false adoration that defined her every step, the misgivings of intrigue could never be erased from her mind nor could the treacheries of the imperial palace. Every word a dagger and every movement invoking potential death, Ying Yun not only discovers clues of corruption, but clues of her bitter past. Greed, truth and an undeniable love. In the end, which one will she choose?

Everything she does mends the world around her, but she is considered a monster. If she touches the earth, delicate white flowers sprout from the soil. If she touches the skin of another, their bodies are cleansed of any pain or sickness. If she speaks, her voice entices any listener with its inexplicable tone. And if she sings, miracles happen. She doesn't go outside, she doesn't touch people, she doesn't speak, and she never sings. Regardless of her desire to do those simple things, her unobliging caretakers would never allow it. All she can do is sit and watch as the world moves on without her . . . But what will she do when a strange group of travelers enter the village and the barrier standing between her and freedom is finally removed? Will she flee into a journey full of color? Or will she cower in fear of revisiting the horrors of her bloodstained past? - - - "Do you have a name?" ". . ." "Can you speak?" ". . ." "I have a feeling we're going to get along rather well." - - - OC x Shin-Ah :)

IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * A delicate blind girl. A ruthless powerful shinobi. An innocent heart. A manipulative mind. A healing caress. A rough dominating grip. During the time of war and fighting between clans, the weaker always obey the stronger. Those who cannot fight merely wish to survive through the endless clash and can only accept being controlled and satisfied with the limited freedom they have over their life. Then there are those who, with whatever skill and strength they have, wish to help others by relieving physical and emotional pain. One such clan caught in the endless clash for dominance, known far and wide for their vast chakra supply, their domineering physical strength and their frighteningly powerful pin wheeled blood red eyes, develops and interest in a unique healer. A healer whose skill seems to be no match even for those trained for years in medical ninjutsu. The reason? She uses her heart and not her eyes. However, it isn't only her skill in healing that seems to pique the interest of the Uchiha Clan leader. Uchiha Madara, a prideful man with powers unmatched by any other besides the Senju Clan leader, is unconsciously drawn to her warm and unconditionally caring personality. Seeking comfort and a sense of belonging in the arms of a delicate woman was not what he had planned for himself. But things never happen the way they are planned and they never will. And Uchiha Madara ends up with two people he considers so important that he will do anything in his power to protect them. ~~~~~~~~~~ Ranked #1 in Madara Naruto and all its franchise (C) Masashi Kishimoto san OC and creative plot (C) Midnight_Lilac

There are certain things in life that everyone knows. When asked though, how they came to possess knowledge of this information, a confused look will enter their face. Because there are just certain things in life- certain facts and pieces of knowledge - that are universal. Fact number one. In order to be Alpha in the Alba Rosa pack, one must first challenge and defeat the Alpha. Fact number two. It's a trick. Because only one in possession of Alpha Blood has any hope of defeating the Alpha. Fact number three. No one challenges the Alpha. But there is another fact. An additional piece of knowledge that many know of, yet never express out loud. Fact number four. These three facts do not apply to someone like Soraya.
