The world is no stranger to change; and it welcomes it as easily as a woman her forlorn son. And fate, its ancient lover, has always had a bittersweet role to fill in destiny's ambiguous journey. Mizuko, however, cannot help but wish that the world would remain as it was in the past, devoid of the nightmarish monsters plaguing her future. Yet, for all of her fear, she has yet to learn a lesson that comes at a cost higher than the stars. Two boys, a naïve girl, and a nasty set of events could very well be the tipping point in life's precarious game of balance...but at what point will bravery mold into cowardice, and love into dread? The demons she dodged shroud themselves in subtle disguise; yet can she overcome the darkness to come? [ Date started: 3 ~ 17 ~ 16 ] [ ONGOING ] 《 ᎪᏆᏆᎬᏁᏆᎥᎾᏁ 》 A long, long time ago, I began to write this book. And it holds an extremely tender part of my heart, as it is what really allowed me to grow as an author. However, due to its age, it is by far not my best work. I do not dissuade you from reading if you choose, but until the end, the writing and plot is not exactly the best (at least in my eyes!). It has been a ride, and I cannot WAIT to explore more ideas with you all. xᎾxᎾ b Ꮢ Ꭵ Ꭼ

"My last wish..is for Naruto to grow up treated like a hero." As he fought the Kyuubi inside the Shinigami's stomach, forced to watch his son grow up hated and bested by the people he had saved, Minato couldn't help but curse himself.

What if the baka wasn't who we thought he was? What if the fangirl and emo freak were not really who they acted to be? What if Team 7 had already been predetermined by the said people?

After the Fourth Great Ninja War, the reunited Team 7 returns home. But when they returned, it became just as Naruto and Sakura feared would happen.

Imagine team 7 being more badass than usual and *gasp* sasuke not being an emo, sakura not being an fangirl and wait for a it...... naruto being...... smarter! Imagine if their other personality was just an mask.

Sato Sayaka, age thirteen, is assigned to learn the Rasengan from Namikaze Minato, the sensei of Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi. Obito is thrilled to have her on the team. Rin is glad that there's another girl to even things out. Meanwhile, Kakashi is angry to get her attention because she doesn't notice him at all, aside from being a teammate. With that in mind, Sayaka doesn't really like Kakashi because of his cocky attitude, although she is quite so cocky herself. And fan girls? I don't think Sayaka has that in her vocabulary. And a vow never to fall in love but only to strive to become the best? What will happen here and now? {Hatake Kakashi x OC} 2nd in NarutoWattyAwards (Kakashi) (2014) 3rd in TheNarutoWattyAwards (Kakashi) (2014) *Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. ~Cover by @Jenny20

Hinata has been deeply in love with Naruto for many years now. Hinata is set on a mission for longer than she thinks. By the time Hinata gets back to Kohana, she is 16 and is very beautiful. Many more things come up on her path.

Thr fourth great ninja war is in session and with naruto as the turning point due to bee being captured he must be protected by all cost who else than hinata hyuga would step up

Four year old Sakura and the Akatsuki. (BEING EDITED)

Orochimaru never became a missing-nin. The Fourth Hokage still stood tall. There was no Uchiha Massacre. The Akatsuki never existed. Madara never became a problem. What could go wrong in such a perfect world? Sakura Haruno had always been alone, and at thirteen, she abandoned Konoha. She had to run from her past, but what exactly would wait for her in her future? @NarutoWattyAwards 2014 Third Place Winner in the General Naruto Category! *Written from 2013-2015*
