A betrayal. A tragedy. A sacrifice.
Before Kurosawa Tsuyoshi even became of age, he was robbed of his friends, his family and his home. Driven into hiding, pursued by enemies, the young boy was turned from the heir of a prominent clan into a fugitive constantly on the run, while political maneuvering in Edo in the aftermath is drastically changing the landscape of feudal Japan as he knew it. What took a few days to destroy, he now needed years to redeem. 
As Tsuyoshi embarks on a journey to find his father's murderers, he encounters friends and foes alike, bringing together a loyal band of followers in his journey of redeeming his family's honour. Facing him; a hostile environment controlled and manipulated by the shogunate in Edo, which endeavors to the extreme to kill off the Heir of Kurosawa. 
However, as Tsuyoshi ventures further in his quest to avenge his father, he makes several discoveries, shaking the foundations of his identity to its very core. The deeper he digs into the past, the more questions than answers he finds, as he realises the gravity of the situation laid out before him. Things are not as it seems, with decades, even centuries, of history coming back to collect their due. The weight of the ages now rests upon the shoulders of the adolescent. 
The ghosts of the past are returning, ready to haunt the present, and caught directly in the middle of the crossfires is an unlikely group of misfits led by an exiled prince fighting to find out who he is and to restore his family's honour. The line between ally and enemy blurs, as the shogun, samurai and ninja alike all vie for Tsuyoshi's life. War is at Japan's doorstep once again, the scars of the past bringing their grudges to be borne again by the present. 
Will Tsuyoshi be able to ride above the storm and rise like the phoenix from the ashes of his past, or will he face utter destruction and annihilation in the battle of history?

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers by emerysn_writes
11 parts Ongoing Mature
Growing up together in the hero commission, I truly believed in heroes. I was so naΓ―ve to the superhuman society we had, to the world. I thought that good people and heroes would always win. I thought that way about my life too, that no matter what, I would overcome it just like the heroes. I met my best friend when I was ten; the little winged boy that I saw clutching his Endeavor doll walk into my life randomly one day and soon became part of my life like he had always been there. My Father was attacked by a villain and his quirk stolen. The hero commission that I grew up with turned their backs on him and my family. Heartbroken over the loss of his quirk and livelihood, my Father took his own life. I was never the same after that. And my best friend who I had thought would stay by my side left instead to become the youngest pro hero in history and the second strongest hero in all of Japan, the winged hero Hawks. Beloved by many, and the Hero Commission's golden boy. But I knew the truth and I'm determined to reveal the truth of what happened to my Father and expose the hypocrisy of the hero commission too, even if I die trying.

[Discontinued?] What is it that kids do nowadays? Well, it seems like many of them (especially boys) enjoy running around with their friends, forming gangs. One specific family in Japan is the Sano family, and there, two siblings happen to be founders of the famous Tokyo Manji Gang (aka Toman). Sano Manjiro and his younger twin sister, Sano Y/n. Sano Y/n can be quite cowardly and not the...best...in fights, but she can still hold herself up at times and has one hell of an endurance. Y/n is just like any other teenager, and she enjoys hanging around her friends and siblings. Though, she does often get into a squabble with her brother, but it's just what siblings do. However, after two certain boys appear out of nowhere and entangle themselves into the delinquent world by joining Toman, everything seems to become pure chaos. Toman is constantly getting into battles with other gangs and the founding members are decreasing one after the other. Y/n tries to keep her positive and enthusiastic persona, but she can't help but feel lost and devastated as several tragedies occur. Everything is messed up and she doesn't know what to do. Just what future is Sano Y/n coming to? --- (A/N: The reader will be occasionally described to have black long hair(rarely) and black eyes, but the rest is mostly up for your imagination) Will contain manga spoilers! Read at your own risk! HOWEVER! DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING IN THE COMMENTS AHEAD OF TIME! BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS WHO AREN'T AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!

THE WAR IS YOUNG, and the gods are hungry. Ogonsekai has been warring for twelve years, so many remember the age before. An age of submission. An age of silent resentment and knives behind backs instead of on tables. An age when the Outskirts bowed to Hikarishi. Ogonsekai has been at war for almost twelve years. Many remember the age before, but none remember a time of peace. PEACE HAS SURRENDERED. The goddess cowers at the feet of the Serpentine throne, and kisses the boots of the shogun Amihan as she bleeds out and dies. All fear the shogun- including his emperor. Including his son and daughter: his would-be heir and his jewel. ALL FEAR THE SHOGUN, even the High King of the north, who watches his kin prepare for war. The Uenons pity the rebels. They fear the shogun, and they fight their fear with fire. The Uenons challenge the shogun. The Uenons challenge the empire. The Uenons challenge him. HIS DAUGHTER CHALLENGES HIM. His daughter, his only surviving child, a girl who wants to be king. His cunning brother fears her as much as he fears the shogun. Perhaps more. ❅ Princess Yuina Mongonai expects to be declared the heir to the Northern Icelands. An idealist with a rebel heart, Yuina intends to turn the north against its imperial conquerors and aid the Outskirts instead. But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Yuina learns that fate and her scheming uncle have other plans. In order to prove himself worthy of the title shogun, Dai Kimsura must win a fight against his god-blessed, vicious sister. To secure his future and win the favour of his parents, Dai is given a mission only he can complete. A task that may be his undoing. ❅

An unspoken connection binds them, as Y/N becomes the unwavering guardian of Eri, protecting her from the world's cruelty as best he can. PRESENT STORY - Amidst the clash of powers between Izuku Midoriya, known as the hero Deku, and the malevolent villan known as Overhaul, a hidden chamber stirs, whispering secrets long forgotten. Within its depths lies a boy, trapped in a dormant slumber, unaware of the impending battle that will shatter the very foundations of heroism. As the battle intensifies, the cracks on the chamber's surface widens, threatening to release the boy into a world engulfed in turmoil and conflict. Who is this figure? What role will they play in the unfolding chaos? With shattered memories and an enigmatic power simmering within, the boy becomes a player in a treacherous game where alliances are forged and the chains which bind the weak are broken. NOTE: I DECIEDED TO COMBINE BOTH THE PROLOGUE AND THIS BOOK. ------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: I am very unhappy with how this has been turning out, so I have chosen to scrap this story. I'll still keep it up, and one day I'll probs come back to it with better writing, as I have a lot of ideas for where this could go, but as of now, this story is discontinued.
Return of the Demon Sovereign (Book 1) [MxM] by Hopestrife
99 parts Complete Mature
[BOOK 1] REBOOTED COMPLETED Legends once spoke of Erebus, a great cultivator who stood against an army of darkness. He fought bravely alongside his brothers for many years but found himself betrayed. Those he called family poisoned and tortured him-seeking his death. When he escaped, he was demonized and painted as a villain of the realms. Thus, Erebus turned to the army of darkness and discovered the truth. His foe was never the darkness but the great beings manipulating the realms-Titans. He picked up his daggers and spent centuries fighting against these monsters, but fell short of his goal and lost his life. When he believed death would give him rest, the Shadow Deity revealed another plan for him and offered a new life. Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies. Can they stop the corruption and deceit spread by the gods? ***This novel will have mature language and violence.*** An earlier version of this novel was released a couple of years ago; however, I have rebooted it to this current version. This is an MxM novel but is considered a slow burn.
The Way Into Mist Village (Naruto) by worldwalkerdj
50 parts Complete
What happens when you take 4 hero students, one ex-villain, two aliens, and over 15 ninjas, and throw them all together on a weeks long road trip through their enemies territory? *** The 4th Great Shinobi War has ended, and Gaara is starting to wonder how the nations will maintain their fragile peace without a common enemy. He's devised a plan to go on a diplomatic tour of the shinobi world, and try to establish strong bonds with each village, and Mist Village is his first stop. Joining Gaara and his two ever loyal siblings, Temari and Kankuro, will be the Leaf Shinobi, Naruto, Shikamaru, Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Neji, and surprisingly, Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke isn't really going for the mission though, he's been persuaded to join them by Gaara's new, out of this world teacher, Shine Likstar, and her partner Wally West, and their current hero trainees, Momo, Shoto, Dabi--and now joining them: Bakugo and Camie. They all don't start off on the best foot, and Gaara wonders how they'll make it to Mist without killing each other. Along the way the group runs into Sasuek's old Team Taka, and makes some detours into creepy lairs, all the while trying not to drive each other insane with their crazy hijinks and culture clashes. Not to mention past trauma. But things may heat up when they actually reach Mist Village and find more than they bargained for. [This story is a sort of spin off of the main story line, and picks up where my shorter retelling of the first show in "New Way of Ninja" leaves off. Read that book first if you want to know how these characters know each other. Otherwise if you just want to jump right in and figure it out, I respect that approach too. This should be a lot of fun. The story is styled to be more Slice of Life/Action, but they'll be ships, funny situations, and angst and drama in plenty for all of you who like a little spiciness with your friendship stories. Promises to be a deep dive.

~Complete~ ~Sequel to The Silver Wolf~ It's been three years since Kari and Saden were banished from Konohagakure. They've both matured, and neither hold a grudge towards the Hidden Leaf for the misunderstanding. Together with Telem and Zahra, they've explored many corners of the shinobi lands. But things aren't going so good back in Konoha. Sure, Naruto's just returned from his training trip with Jiraiya, and Sakura's grown strong training under the Lady Tsunade. But Sasuke is still with Orochimaru, and Naruto has vowed to get him back. With the help of his friends, of course. Daken has changed, from a wandering shinobi to a ninja of the Hidden Leaf. But both he and Kakashi have one dream- fix the misunderstanding that made Danzo banish Kari from Konoha. And when Lady Tsunade learns of the misunderstanding, and finds Sarutobi's written thoughts on the matter, she makes a decision. She decides to send a team out to retrieve Kari and Saden, and let them return to the village. Both Daken and Kakashi volunteer, so the squad composed is Team Seven, with Daken and the newcomer Toru, who may or not have malicious intentions. But Kari isn't quite ready to return. Finally, after three years of training, she and Saden are ready to confront Narako and restore Arashigakure to it's rightful glory. So the two, along with their partners, head back in the direction of the Land of Fire, on whose borders the Hidden Storm is located. Ready for the fight of their lives. The final clash with Narako is coming, and not everyone will survive the storm in the Storm. Cover made by ILoveWolvezz!!
