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

Everyone in Konoha knows Naruto. The dead-last, the idiot, the prankster, happy-go-lucky, a dumb blond with a hopeless crush on Haruno Sakura. What about Sakura? A hopeless fangirl of Sasuke's who cannot fight to save her life, with loving parents who care for her. Sasuke? An emo avenger who does nothing but brood over the end of his clan, power-hungry and willing to do anything within his power to kill Itachi. The list goes on. However, not everything is as it seems. Every person, be it consciously or unconsciously, has a mask that hides their true selves. Their lives are not nearly as happy as they seem. This story is one of truths well hidden and lies well kept. And also how truths, no matter how well hidden, will always come unburied. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden.

It's been two years since the Danzo incident. Two whole years since the members of Team 7 have had any interaction with one another. But when an emergency letter is sent from Suna informing them that Gaara has been kidnapped, they are quick to return to the Sand village to save their Kage. One thing leads to another, and soon, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi are tasked with stopping an organization bent on achieving world peace. But it's becoming increasingly clear that thing's aren't the same as they were before, so how can Team 7 unite the Shinobi Nation against a growing threat when they all seem to be drifting farther apart from each other? ____________________________________ This is the sequel to Rock Bottom, so if you haven't read that then I recommend that you do, but it's not completely necessary because I'll be posting a recap Pairings : SASUNARU and GAASAKU (They haven't changed ;P) Don't like yaoi then just don't read, no hate please! Please don't copy, and please dm me if you think that someone has. *UNEDITED, I'll be going through to fix things after this is finished. *I don't own Naruto *I made the cover but I don't own the images I used *Irregular updates, I write and post whenever I can...Usually once a week at least but please don't hold me to that

"You know, the thing about failure is that it only makes me want to try harder." . . Minato and Kushina survived the Kyuubi attack, the Uchiha Massacre never happened, Orochimaru never became a missing nin. What could go wrong? A lot of things actually, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto is shunned by the village, his father ignores him, and his mother disappeared. Sasuke was always a failure to his clan, nothing he did would ever be good enough for them. Kakashi was endlessly reminded that he would never be as great as the White Fang was. And Sakura was abandoned by her parents, who left her in Konoha while they do god-knows-what. Nobody expected them to amount to anything, but that only gave them the incentive to prove everyone wrong. This is the story of Team 7, the team of failures and rejects with a dream to make it to the top. . . .

They failed, and they weren't proud of it either. With nobody left to save, and nothing left to do, the three men have given up all hope. Obito and Madara and merciless, and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. Death after death, battle after battle. They're tired, and they're done. They thought they'd already fought their hardest battle, but it turns out that the war was just the beginning. Shot back in time with the help of Kurama's hidden jutsu, they find themselves faced with the faces of loved ones, and with the task of stopping multiple tragedies before they happen. One slip up and their whole plan could fall apart. Will it, or will they save everyone? (A Time-Travel AU)

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*

Sakura wanted to die. Sasori was fine with staying dead. But it seemed fate had other plans for them, because when they both wake up younger with blood pulsing through their veins, they had to remember how to live again.

They were shinobi: machines trained from childhood to kill or be killed. They were experienced soldiers; tools even. And that's why you can't blame them for being idiots in everything else.

"He chose your fate. You have to take over his job. His village. His place in the world. This is the life you have to live. So, what do you say? Do you accept the position as Orochimaru's successor?" When Kabuto manages to convince Haruno Sakura to become the Shodai Otokage, she finds out that this might be the best decision she's ever made. "Finally, I've done something right."
