After Obito and Madara raze the great nations to the ground, there's little left to fight for. The three of them have just about given up hope. It's all just death after death, battle after battle. They're tired, and with nobody else to save, there's seemingly no direction for them to go anymore. The war has ended, and they're on the losing side.
At least, that's what they think-- until Kurama comes forward with a hidden jutsu. Forced to confront the faces of their long-dead loved ones without wavering, and tasked with preventing a myriad of tragedies before they can happen, one slip up could mean their entire plan falling apart. Only they can save the future.

AND BACK AGAIN [ NARUTO ]
Naruto really thought they could do it. That he could do it. But when the chance was staring him in the eyes, reflecting off of the rasengan in his right hand and the pulsing in his chest, Naruto failed. Madara sent him back. Back to a time when he had everything once again. And he couldn't stay. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jiraiya shrugged, as if he wasn't discussing his own demise and just some mildly unpleasant weather. "I've got books to write, places to visit, little brats to train. The world needs me as long as it can have me." He spread his hands reasonably, as if to illustrate the surety of his point. "Spill it, come on. How'd I get myself killed?" Naruto sputtered, sitting a little straighter. "That's--I can't just tell you!" He stopped. ". . .Can I?" "I don't see why not." Jiraiya smiled softly, the nonchalance gone from his expression and replaced with a hint of understanding that Naruto drank up. "You're thinking a bit too hard into this, gaki. We don't have to follow Fate's path like a strict rule book. We're shinobi--things like this," he gestured to Naruto, "are bound to happen. And if you happen to have important knowledge and if you happen to mention it here and there, well. No one will be the wiser. You want to save us, Naruto? Save us." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [ earlier chapters are lacking ] [ cover art creds to artist ] [ genfic--no ships, but if any, canon implied ] #1 in narutotimetravel 1 / 28 / 21 #1 in uzumakinaruto 8/9/21 #3 in uchihasasuke 12/22/20 #7 in naruto 12/27/20 #4 in timetravel 4/24/21Complete![The Girl They Never Saw [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/98825408-256-k201479.jpg)
The Girl They Never Saw [Completed]
[Completed] No one thought she would amount to anything. Sakura Haruno, the girl who came from a civilian family. Sakura Haruno, the average medic. Sakura Haruno, the pink-haired fangirl. Sakura, the weak. Sakura, the useless. Sakura, the girl they left behind. Sasuke Uchiha thought she was just another of his many fangirls. He thought she was the girl he knocked out and left on a park bench. He assumed she would be waiting for him when he came back. Naruto Uzimaki thought she was someone who needed protecting. He thought she couldn't keep up with him and Sasuke. He assumed that she wasn't capable of taking care of herself. Kakashi Hatake thought she was an average shinobi. Nothing special, no one to watch out for. He assumed that Sasuke and Naruto were more important. Tsunade Senju thought she was desperate. She thought that she needed training. She assumed that the girl would never excel in anything particular. Only Sakura knew the truth. She was a girl who had seen too much. She was a girl who had never lived up to her own expectations. She was a girl who pushed herself to the limit every single day. They underestimated her, and she destroyed them. Amazing cover and chapter headers by @RealityKeeper ❤️❤️❤️Complete
Back to the past, Believe it!
The war isn't over, even after they defeated Kaguya, after they barely won against Madara and Obito dead after he sacrificed his life. Zetsu is still in the run and leaving death and despair in his wake, and Kaguyas earth killing final Justu proving to be unstoppable, Naruto, Shikamaru and Sasuke travel to the past. With the help of the Ancient summons of Shikkatsu forest and 2 of the legendary sannin, it's made possible. But what would be a time traveling Justu without a couple of setbacks? 🛑COMPLETED BUT UNDER PROCESS OF BEING REWRITTEN!🛑 UNDER THE PROCESS OF BEING REWRITTEN! I'm currently rewriting the book since It's honestly, not good. It's one of my very first stories I've written and let's just say after reading other time travel fics I realize just how bad it is 😭. This may take a while, since originally each chapter is around 1000 words and now I'm making each chapter at least 2000 and doing that with 70 already existing chapters is not going to be easy. Also the story may not correlate correctly for a while since I'm rewriting the plot.Complete

Mother [Naruto]
Naruto and Sasuke grow up as close brothers under one adoptive mother. Life isn't so bad after all...until Mother is taken. Family love/(maybe something more?). Strong/Intelligent!Naruto Loyal/Stay in Konoha!Sasuke Mother!OC **OC belongs to me, this is a fanfiction of Masashi Kishimoto's beloved Naruto series <3 Preview : "Out of the way Mio!" Kakashi yelled, fearing for his childhood friend's unsettling proximity to the Nine-tails. Yamato took a step back as the beast became a little closer to breaking free. And then, it did. In horror, Sasuke immediately retracted his lightning as he sprinted to defend his reckless mother. Because really, that crazy woman didn't know when to stand down. But she held her ground. Even when the beast broke out and began charging, she stood still-not in fear, but in lack of it. "NARUTO UCHIHA-UZUMAKI WAKE UP! Mother's high pitched, yet confident voice demanded. And miraculously to those around her, but not at all to herself, Naruto listened.Complete
Forbidden love (Obito x OC-hokage) {War criminal x Hokage}🏯💔🔪️💣👑 WOFP-2
"I will not stay longer as well," Obito said, his voice barely above a whisper. "It's Naruto's jutsu that's kept me alive. I'll meet her... in a few minutes," he added, his eyes gazing into the distance, a sense of longing and peace washing over his face. As he sat down, his body grew limp, his shoulders sagging in defeat. He closed his eyes, accepting his fate, ready to pay the price for his sins, as he thought the girl who had loved him more than her own life, the girl who would soon be waiting for him on the other side. --------------------To be continued------------------- ~As I said, the story doesn't end here...~ "Your meeting with her will certainly happen," Sage's voice broke through the air, making Obito open his eyes tiredly. "But it won't be in the Pure Land," the Sage added, making Obito furrow his eyebrows in doubt and curiosity. "What... do you mean?" Matsuri asked, her voice laced with confusion. "There are too many things left unspoken," the Sage explained. ~Read on to uncover what happens next~ "For those who haven't read Book 1, I kindly suggest you read it to get the full story.

Rock Bottom - A Team 7 Story [Completed]
"You know, the thing about failure is that it only makes me want to try harder." . . Minato and Kushina survived the Kyuubi attack, the Uchiha Massacre never happened, Orochimaru never became a missing nin. What could go wrong? A lot of things actually, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto is shunned by the village, his father ignores him, and his mother disappeared. Sasuke was always a failure to his clan, nothing he did would ever be good enough for them. Kakashi was endlessly reminded that he would never be as great as the White Fang was. And Sakura was abandoned by her parents, who left her in Konoha while they do god-knows-what. Nobody expected them to amount to anything, but that only gave them the incentive to prove everyone wrong. This is the story of Team 7, the team of failures and rejects with a dream to make it to the top. . . .
