Underratedfanfic Stories

Shikamaru's days are haunted by memories that aren't his. When a mission with his father sends him spiraling back in time, he meets Tsunade, the fifth Hokage in her early 20s.

Tsunade has always been more than the titles attached to her name-Hokage, Sannin, healer, gambler. She's a woman who has lived through wars and heartbreak, and still finds the strength to keep going. This book gathers stories that imagine her in different lights and different worlds: as a teacher, a wanderer, a fighter, and sometimes simply as a woman trying to breathe under the weight of it all. Some tales are tender, others heavy, but each one circles back to who Tsunade is at her core-unyielding, flawed, and unforgettable. For fans of Naruto who have always wanted to see more of the Legendary Sannin through fresh lenses, this book is a tribute to the woman who redefined resilience.
