Team 7 has finally cracked. They all hate the leaf. All for very similar reasons. Sakura hates lady Tsunade with a passion. She calls herself her sensei but all she does is mentally and physically abuse her day after day. Depleting her chakra reserves to the point where she can't even move to get herself off of the ground again. The villagers hate Naruto. So he hates them back. They trash his place everyday and throw stones at him. They once chased him off a cliff. They didn't want him as a shinobi. They didn't care about him. They saw him as a tool that should be disposed of as quickly as possible. He was the nine tailed fox to them and thats all he would ever be. Sasuke hates the leaf. He found the note shisui wrote to Itachi and uncovered the truth from there. Danzo is a shady dirtbag, the coucilers are older than dirt and should be 6 feet below already, and the worst part is they think he can use both him and his teammates to no only be the next sannin but to have total control over the village. Kakashi hates the leaf. Literally all of the leaf. He hates tsunade for the way she treats Sakura, he hates the villagers for what they do to Naruto, he especially hates, the council, danzo and Orochimaru for what they did to Sasuke and his clan. But most of all he hates the leaf because it took everything from him. He wasn't about to sit back and watch it happen a second time.

They met as children. Each had been hurt in their own way. When they find each other, they realize their life before was nothing compared to now. After meeting, a family is made, a bond stronger than anything before is formed, and ToKeRa is created. When the academy starts, these three children would do anything to stay together. Rising through the ranks at ages younger than Kakashi Hatake himself had been, ToKeRa becomes known as the strongest yet most mysterious ANBU group Konoha has to offer. On another mission, these children have to enter Academy, and act like. . . well, children. But what happens when they find themselves in the middle of events involving their generation?

Hey...sorry to disappoint but it's been like three years since I last updated and I don't plan on updating this anymore. I started this series years ago as a middle schooler and I've since moved on in both my writing ability and what fandoms I'm interested in. I won't be completing this story, sorry if anyone was looking forward to an update. Thanks for reading and being so kind supportive. If anyone wants to pick this storyline up then go ahead I don't mind. This was the series that got me into writing. It showed me my love and passion for writing. For those of you who have read this or are just seeing this, don't be afraid to put your work out there for people to see. If it's a poem, original story, or even fanfiction keep writing and don't be afraid to show others whether it be your friends or readers from the internet. Thanks again. - Naomi :D

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. . . . HIGHEST RANK: #338 in Fanfiction (10/28/17), #3 in Naruto (8/11/18) Sequel: Ascending (be sure to check it out after!!) Romance isn't the main genre but the pairings will be SasuNaru and GaaSaku. If you don't like yaoi then don't read, simple. -Warning: Swearing and Amateur Writing. This is my first fanfic so read at your own risk! -I'm not gonna lie, some of the characters are going to be ooc because I played around with their backstories *I Don't Own Naruto *I don't Own the Cover Image Either (but I made the cover so.....?? ?) *I also don't own any of the photos in the medial * Please don't copy, and please dm me if you think that someone has
