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

Not everyone can be a hero. Sometimes you have to play the villain in order to save everyone. OC Self-Insert SI OC

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)
