The Third Hokage was dead. It wasn't enough. Team Eight knew loss like the seals on the backs of their tongues. They'd been silenced, branded, abandoned, ambushed, left on the enemy's doorstep like a gift--unlucky was their nickname, but they would make it their trade. The Third Hokage was dead. It was Danzo's turn. SEQUEL TO: Hoshigaki (2017-2019) Commissioned Cover by @AwesomeDragonTamer (caleb-crow on Tumblr; caleb_thalia_crow on Instagram) BETA: @OfCloves

(HIGHEST RATING: #1 in Naruto) "Sairen are known for being incredibly aggressive and protective when the time calls for it. Back when the Third Shinobi War was going on, the Sairen were the clan that everyone tried their damn best to avoid. They were the ones that gave the Bloody mist such a bad reputation, the ones that fueled fear into the hearts of their enemies. The Sairen clan are ruthless and bloodthirsty when fighting.-" Asuma shakes his head and takes out a cigarette, lights it, and takes a drag before continuing. "They are just as, if not more formidable than the Uchiha. Specializing in sound-induced Genjutsu that will immobilize and kill you within moments, they're terrifying. They can kill you in an instant. If you hear even the song of a bird or the sound of a cricket, you can already be royally screwed, for you have no clue if it's nature making the sounds or a Sairen. The key is? You have to find them before they find you. otherwise you don't stand a bloody chance against them. It's like a trap you see. One Sairen will sing, while the other will sneak up behind and kill you before you can react. -" Asuma lets out a humourless laugh as he watched Shizukana and Hikaru dodge a water Jutsu. " Try and cover your ears? You can no longer sense them, or hear them coming. In which they can silently come in and kill you. Unless you're an Uchiha, Hyuuga, or Sensor Ninja, there's almost no way to escape. Sairen are marked as 'flee on sight' In the bingo book for a reason kid, *laughs* that's if you can run away before they catch you.-" ((Completed: April, 27th, 2018.)) _______________________________________________________ I do not own Naruto, and I do not own and Media or pictures that I may put on my book unless stated otherwise.

Complete. The Butterfly Effect dictates that the smallest pebble dropped into the ocean would create the greatest of tidal waves. How much change could one new life make, if added to a world it was never meant to be in? Self-Insert. OC.

She has no choice but to blend in with ninjas, learn their battle strategies and go with the natural flow of the shinobi world. Despite being a powerful shinigami with many secrets to hide from everyone around her, Saya comes to like being in this strange new place. During her journey, she comes across a very unique person. One who has known pain and suffering, much different from her own, but hides it behind a mask of coldness and cruelty just as she hides hers behind her smiles. A man, who in the shinobi world, is known to be one of the most heartless and terrifying of ninjas - Uchiha Itachi. Noticing him beyond the mask he wears to cover the turbulent emotions inside and not afraid of whom he portrays himself to be, Saya slowly begins to break the walls built around his heart. Offering a shoulder to lean on, a gentle touch and an open heart was all that was needed to bring her close to him - closer than anyone had ever got to his true self. Accepting challenges and the complicated past of the shinobi world, Saya does all she can to give the innocent Uchiha another chance at happiness and another chance to be loved. ~~~~~~~~~~ Bleach and all its franchise (c) Tite Kubo san Naruto and all its franchise (c) Masashi Kishimoto san OC and creative plot (c) Midnight_Lilac

Dying for her was quick and easy. Too bad reincarnation isn't, especially when it's in your favorite anime where children throw knives and people kill for a living. -- Naka was no one special. She was a typical orphan with messy brown hair and guarded brown eyes. She was completely plain, passable for a background character who wasn't meant to appear twice. She was a quiet girl who would rather keep to herself than to stand out. But Naka had a secret no one else knew. She knew Death.
