The Way Into Mist Village (Naruto) by worldwalkerdj

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. Along the way the group runs into Team Taka, and makes some detours, all the while trying not to drive each other insane with their crazy hijinks, culture clashes, and different ways of looking at the world. 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 War Arc and Sasuke Retrieval Arc left off. Read that book first if you want to know how these characters know each other, it's on my profile. 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 a bit slower paced than the first ones were since it's 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 thought provoking and unusual, like my other stories.] Let's do this!

Falling In Love (SakuSasu) by AoiHeartbeats

In a world where bonds are forged in battle and tested by secrets, Sasuke Uchiha is a lone wolf trapped between his past and the uncertain future. At a chaotic party, he finds an unexpected moment of solitude with Sakura Haruno, a girl whose vibrant spirit both fascinates and frustrates him. As they sit in silence, the air thickens with unspoken feelings and lingering glances, each moment stretching into eternity. Sakura, determined to break through Sasuke's aloof exterior, grapples with her own feelings of inadequacy and the shadow of betrayal from those she once trusted. The night air crackles with tension as they navigate the fragile line between friendship and something more-each of them unsure of the other's heart. As the party winds down and Sakura prepares to leave, a simple goodbye leaves Sasuke questioning everything he thought he knew about connection. But in a world fraught with danger and deception, can they find a way to bridge the gap between them, or will their unspoken words become another casualty of the past? Join Sasuke and Sakura in this poignant tale of unrequited love, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to open one's heart amidst the chaos of adolescence. Discover the intricate dance of emotions that defines their journey, as they confront not only each other but also the demons lurking within themselves. Will they find their way to each other, or will the ghosts of their pasts pull them apart forever? I do not own the pictures of the covers nor the naruto series.

Sand and Snow by namikazeokami

[OC-centric] Where the desert and the cold mountains meet, sand and snow - total opposites from separate worlds - are brought together through a strange twist in fate. Although her clan was all but forgotten, a remnant of the past emerges to remind her of who - or what - she truly is. Meeting the feared jinchuriki was one thing - but becoming his friend and confidante was another.

Lost in the Blue by amvkween

It's almost been a year since the Fourth Great Ninja War ended and things are pretty boring in Konoha. Naruto rarely sees his friends anymore, with Sakura training to become a better medical-nin all the time and Sasuke being confined to his own apartment under constant watch. When interdimensional activity is discovered far, far south, in the middle of the ocean, Kakashi unites the Konoha 11 + Sasuke and sends them off on an adventure to check it out. Having the group back together again is totally weird, but much more exciting than anything else going on. The group travels the seas in search of a new potential villain, while also dealing with the repercussions of the past war. Things have changed since they were young, and moving on from them is the bravest thing they can do. Also- Naruto has a major epiphany about someone.
