Gaarafemnaru Stories

They called her a monster before they ever knew her name. After losing everything - her friends, her childhood, her faith in the village - Naruko Uzumaki runs. She escapes the walls of Konoha and vanishes into the unforgiving sands of the Wind Country. There, she finds something she never thought she deserved: a family. Gaara. Temari. Kankurō. In Sunagakure, she finds healing, strength... and maybe even love. But peace never lasts. When Konoha discovers she's alive, they don't come to welcome her back - they come to use her. Forced into chains, treated as a weapon, Naruko is dragged back to the village that broke her. But she's not the same girl they abandoned. And if Konoha wants to control her, they'll soon learn: She doesn't break. She burns. What happens when the home you ran from demands you serve it again? And what if you've already found a new one?
