In Konohagakure, a little ways into the Hashirama forest, lies a shrine. And in the barest of the morning, when the sun just barely rises on the horizon, sometimes you can hear it sing. Or perhaps, rather, you hear the living ghost of passed on prayers.
"The land kisses the sea, oh lo-o-ove me. He hears Her lovely melody, oh lo-o-ove me."

After the success of their last Village visit, the team (composed now of the Sand Siblings, the DJs, Team 10, Team 7 including Sai, Hinata Hyuga, Tenten. And the heroes Todoroki, Yaoyorozo, Bakugo,and Camie, the villain Dabi, and adding Hanabi Hyuga [and Rock Lee]) is in a good mood, but, Stone Village throws them a lot of unexpected curve balls, and throws some other things at them also. While things heat up on the political front, the team's internal relationships continue to either fray, or deepen as they spend more time together. Sasuke is still there, but his war with himself gets only more and more intense as he continues to consider if his place is even with Team Zoe, or if he should strike out alone again. And is his bond with Naruto and Sakura changing? Shine and Wally sprinkle all this with a healthy dose of teaching and funny anecdotes as they try to keep a group of 20 teenagers from tearing each other, and the shinobi villages, apart. Things have never been this bleak for Gaara's mission, will he end up having to go home in disgrace? Or will he find a way to persevere? [This story serves as a SOL/action style exploration of the events that happen between Naruto and Boruto. All ships are canon or unconfirmed off canon. The story follows the "Way Into Mist Village" and "New Way of Ninja" stories on my profile, and is before the "Way Above Cloud Village" one.

Gaara's Daughter (Gaara's Romance #2) (Naruto/Boruto FanFic)
NOTE: You must have read "Gaara's Romance #1" - "The Legend of Diyuma" ( https://www.wattpad.com/story/96060726-the-legend-of-diyuma-gaara%27s-romance-1-naruto ), in order to understand this volume. The first book, "The Legend of Diyuma", regards Gaara's and my OC's, Lao Shin's love, occurring two years after the Fourth Shinobi World War. This story, on the other hand, regards Boruto's generation, telling us about the adventures of Gaara's daughter who was born and raised on the eastern continent, away from her father, not even knowing his name. --- Sixteen years have passed after the Fourth Shinobi World War. Naruto is the Hokage. Boruto and his generation are all around 13 years old. Gaara already has his adoptive son, Shinki, who is already a genin and shows extremely good skills with iron sand. Temari belongs to Nara clan now and resides in Leaf Village together with her husband, Hokage's right hand-man, Shikamaru, and her son, Shikadai Nara. Kankuro meanwhile is the right hand-man of Kazekage Gaara. Everything is peaceful on the land. However, soon the Land of Lightning receives new tourists and some rich refugees from the eastern continent by the ship Super Ocean Express, some of which, disregarding the rule, are shinobi (there is a particular restriction on Super Ocean Express - without a certain pass, shinobi are forbidden to travel over the ocean). The refugees arrive because a war has broken out in the east. The mysterious shinobi children of the east desperately look for 'The Lord of the Desert', as they call the certain man they don't even know. So they arrive in the only desert on the western continent - the Land of Wind. Here, they soon arrive to the Hidden Sand Village, but seem suspicious to the Sand ninja because they don't even wear ninja headbands. How will all these events end up? Will the mysterious eastern shinobi find who they're looking for? How will they sort relations with strict and sullen desert dwellers - the Sand ninja?Complete
On Your Side, Always
A Love Story of Sakura Haruno & Kakashi Hatake In a shinobi world reborn from ashes and war, peace no longer demands blades but the quiet strength of those who still choose to care. Sakura Haruno-now a woman of legendary skill and haunting grace-is a name whispered with awe across nations. No longer a girl chasing love, Sakura has built a world of her own: a thriving hospital, a safe haven for orphans, and a quiet, solitary life defined by purpose. She has long let go of the shadow of Sasuke Uchiha and the ache of unrequited longing. Love, to her, is no longer something she expects-until he returns to her periphery. Kakashi Hatake-silver-haired, steel-eyed, and ex-Hokage-has lived a thousand lives in silence. The war left him hollow, and peace left him adrift. He has always kept his distance, watching from the sidelines, offering his presence without asking for anything in return. He never thought love was something still within reach... until he begins seeing Sakura not as his former student, but as a woman. What starts as gentle visits, shared tea, and conversations at dusk soon brews into something unspoken-a gravity that pulls their hearts ever closer. And beneath the layers of wit, restraint, and time-hardened armor, lies a desire that neither can ignore. As subtle glances deepen into tender touches and silence blooms into sensual confession, Sakura and Kakashi must navigate their way through doubt, longing, and the fear of ruining something too fragile to name. From moonlit rooftops and whispered secrets to heated nights and declarations spoken in the rain, theirs is a story of second chances, first love, and finding home in someone's arms. Because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, it's just there. And when it is, you never have to face the world alone again. Naruto © Masashi KishimotoComplete
HARUTO : OMAKE
The Shinobi world is vast. Time flows within it like the grains of sand in an hourglass. Among living beings, some live their lives unconsciously, others fully consciously. When the Past and the Future intertwine, where can Haruto find himself across the Boundary? What are these memories of past lives? The boy, as a subject, will have to redefine his memories once conscious to even find the girl who is the meaning of his existence and his world. Will he finally be able to exist and find a reason for his existence? Or will he collapse when faced with the truth? Will he become the savior of the world, or the buryer of chaos that will destroy it? He will know once he meets the meaning of his world, the girl, God. This book collects all the omakes already published in the chapters of the following story: Haruto : Naruto Next Generation. This allows you to avoid having to go to the end of each chapter of the story to read an omake.

The Hole in my Heart (Gaara x reader)
An outcast since birth and the jinchuriki of the 7 tailed wolf, (Y/n) does her best to keep her head held high. But citizens of her village look down on her and the only one who protected her is now dead. After losing control she decides to run away and find her family, having only a single photograph as a guide. On her journey she meets the Kazekage, Gaara, and feels once again cared for. As she gets closer to the stranger she feels something that she was missing. Something to fill the empty void in her heart.

Beneath the Softest Bloom, I Waited for You
In the quiet aftermath of war, Sakura Haruno returns to Konoha not as the loud girl she once was, but as a serene, hauntingly beautiful woman who has bloomed far from the eyes that once knew her. Working in the orphanage and healing quietly at the hospital, she's content in the peace she's carved-until a certain golden-haired Hokage-in-training begins to notice the warmth he had missed all along. Naruto Uzumaki, now a hero of the village and burdened by duty, never expected the quiet ache that would settle in his chest the moment he saw her again. As seasons shift and petals fall, their paths cross in stolen glances, shared missions, and long walks home under the stars. From soft moments to searing intimacy, from unspoken yearning to love declared in breathless whispers, Beneath the Softest Bloom, I Waited for You is a sweeping tale of rediscovery, longing, and love that transcends the scars of the past and settles into the light of a forever home. A story of two souls-quietly, fiercely, always-finding their way back to each other. "Some loves do not bloom loudly-but they endure the longest beneath the quietest light."
