****Winner of the Most Popular Naruto Fanfic Watty Award 2013/14**** **Currently being rewritten as the original is old and awful in this author's opinion** A coming of age story about a young Ninja, confused and hurt by the instances in her past, struggling to find her place and figure out what it all means. Can the kindness of a new Village warm a heart that time has taught to be cold and cruel? Can new friendships replace broken bonds, lost to the past? Is it safer to stay, or is it safer to run? A story not about one's physical strength, or of obtaining great power, but a story of overcoming and learning to change as old wounds heal.

Itami, a blue haired girl, is the 'The Angel's Flower' in all the rogues' bingo book. Though, no one knows who she is or how she looks like, presumedly she is always in her ANBU ROOT uniform. But, once she uses her jutsus, they know right away. "T-hat p-paper w-wings. Y-you're the A-angel's F-flower!" Soon, she enrolls in the Academy, having had defied Danzo whilst Yamato and Kakashi had to come to the rescue. She worked in Lord Third's ANBU for two years until Kakashi had suggested she should start over in the Academy. She took the offer hesitantly, being placed on Team 7 and falling for Mr.Superiority Complex during her journey of starting over. "It's the Angel's Flower! Let's take the bounty! She looks weak!" She grows close to Naruto, Sakura, even the Great Almighty Uchiha Sasuke. But what happens when she's not who she thinks she is? When she finds out the truth? Meets somewhat familiar people? Is Itami even her real name? Neji x Oc •I DO NOT OWN NARUTO only my OC• *2ND Place In Anime Watty Awards Winter 2014/15, Naruto Category* I do not own any pictures or videos! Credit to the maker.

In the early years of his life, a solitary boy wandered the streets of a village carved from sand and survival. The Hidden Sand Village. Sunagakure, was harsh by nature, but the villagers' eyes were harsher. They didn't see a child. They saw a weapon. They called him Gaara. Whispers followed wherever he went. "Monster." "Jinchūriki." "The Weapon of Terror." He learned early that silence was safer than explanation, that emotions were burdens in a place where even children bore burdens meant for soldiers. Rejection became routine. Loneliness followed. He didn't ask for the power sealed inside him. Nor the fear it inspired. But neither did he run from it. Instead, he studied it. Controlled it. Made it his. It was the only way to survive. So Gaara closed himself off. When you see the world without illusion, trust becomes rare, and affection nearly extinct. Still, even the most carefully guarded minds can be changed. It only took one rare encounter for the path of his life to dramatically change in the most unexpected way of meeting the lone daughter of an arctic nation. And from that moment on, the desert would never be silent again. (Note: Lots of chapters in this story. Currently going through a major edit, although the plot of the story will remain as it is)

(IMPORTANT: I will not make my story like the anime or manga, I will be writing my story differently and Sasori does not die in this story I might put some of it in here, but not all of it.). A young girl that builds up a wall for nobody can go near her heart, but what happens when she meets a boy with Red hair and chocolate brown eyes; who says he does not feel emotion. Will these two fall in love with each other or will they lock up all there feelings inside like they always do. (I DO NOT OWN NARUTO CHARACTERS ONLY MY CHARACTERS.)

Elvira May is a foreigner in the town of Konoha. Orphaned and completely alone, she seeks out the village from a bloody note that her parents had left her before their murder. Traumatized, Elvira can't remember anything from her past except for her name and all the knowledge that she had gained from the special training program in her long forgotten village. A superhuman and incredibly beautiful, she is easily the most popular person in the village and teammate of Team Seven. Scared of revealing her own history ignorance to the crowd, she puts on a mask of cold grace and serenity but she just wants someone that can understand her and soon she gets her wish. Another foreigner, Elize Chiffon, arrives and coincidentally, her parents had been murdered by the same people. They had originated from the same village and were apparently very close before the incident. After some memories return to her, Elvira finally realizes that she had someone to share her gruesome burden with. Over time, she grows accustomed to the attention that seeks her out every day and she begins to lift off her mask and notice all the romantic attention that she is receiving, especially from the village's last Uchiha. Unsure of her own feelings, she struggles to uncover her memories with the help of her friends and discover who it was that had killed her parents. The truth can be painful but isn't it better than living in a world of lies? *No copyright infringement intended* *I just really like Naruto!*
