When the world was shrouded in darkness, it had no choice but to give birth to a new light. (Currently being rewritten)

Left alone and immortal after defeating Madara, Naruto takes to the sea and makes a name for himself.

In which Naruto Uzamaki is free of all the chains Kohona had bound to him.

Unfinished & abandoned. Mira doesn't really mean to be a bad person, it just sort of... happens. She was locked up most of her life in a place called Asylum. There, they trained children to become assassins, with the goal of being strong enough to overcome the Zoldycks in a fight. All of them. At once. Mira just finishes some... business... when she is found by Hisoka. Well, she finds him. He brings her to the Hunter Exam, not knowing how strong she really is... During the Exam, Mira meets Gon and Killua. Will they become friends? Will they stay friends? Will Mira become a Hunter? ...or will she fall prey to the evil that she was brought up to cultivate? -- "No! Please! Don't do this!" My mother screams at me, her hands soaked in my father's blood. He is lying on the kitchen floor. In his chest is a gaping hole, where I had ripped out his heart just minutes before. I could have done it cleanly, without a speck of blood, but it didn't seem fitting. After what my parents had done to me, their deaths deserved to be bloody. "And why shouldn't I?" I ask my mother, well aware of the sadistic grin that was spreading across my face. I've missed this feeling. Strong and in control. "You knew that this would happen the minute you sent me to that godforsaken place." "I'm your mother. You wouldn't exist if not for me!" She shouts, heartbeat pulsing rapidly. "How could you do this to us? You monster!" I can feel my grin falter, but I clench my teeth and hold back the unwanted emotions. "Yes. A monster. Just as I was all those years ago, before you decided to abandon me. You left me to them, mother." "You didn't deserve a place in our home!" "You're right, mother," I reply quietly. "I deserved to be tortured, instead. I deserved to be alone. Whatever helps you sleep at night." And though I no longer take pleasure in my actions, I tightly grip the dagger that was a second ago secured to my waistline, and slit her throat.

To anyone who happens to get flung into the Narutoverse, I only have one piece of advice to give you. "First learn the rules, then break them." Playing by the rules can only take you so far. When there are people to save, countries to protect, the world to defend and destiny to defy... breaking the status quo is the best bet. And that is exactly why I did. A/N: This story loosely follows the plotline of the second great shinobi war. Other than my oc and my idea, everything else belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. The picture used to make the cover don't belong to me but...the cover design belongs to me;)
