In a world where shadows speak louder than truth, three lives walk the edge of a fragile illusion.

Naruto, the relentless hand of Leaf Village's hidden will; Sasuke, the wandering rebel who seeks freedom beyond blood and duty; and Sakura, the smiling blade dancing on the line between mercy and madness. Bound by fate, scarred by duty, each of them carries pieces of a truth long buried beneath history and power.

When fragments of forgotten worlds resurface-ancient sigils, faraway lands, and echoes of an unspeakable void stitched beneath reality-the quiet machinery of the Shinobi Nations begins to crack. Beneath the reflection of their shinobi lives lies a far older design, one that could unravel not only their identities, but the entire fabric of their world.

In the shadows behind the reflection, truth is a weapon-and those who seek it may never return the same.

Between Silence and Soft Footfalls by rose-tinted_glasses

"Sometimes, the loudest love is the one that never had to ask to be heard." At the edge of the quiet Nara forest, where the wind carries both secrets and the scent of wildflowers, Sakura Haruno has built a modest life filled with orphaned children, gentle animals, and healing hands. Revered for her strength and grace but untouched by love, she has long believed her heart to be meant only for service, not surrender. Shikamaru Nara, the elusive genius with clouds in his gaze and burdens in his mind, lives a life governed by logic, strategy, and an eternal pursuit of peace-until her soft laughter begins to echo through his days, stirring questions he can't outthink. Their lives begin to intertwine through quiet visits, reluctant friendship, and a growing tension that neither one of them names-until fate, family, and a series of clumsy near-confessions force their hearts into a dance they can no longer avoid. In a world healing from war, they will discover that love isn't always loud-it is often found in the hush between conversations, the stillness after laughter, and the soft footfalls of someone choosing to stay. A heartwarming, steamy, and laugh-out-loud journey of two unlikely souls who stumble into love, domestic chaos, and forever-one quiet moment at a time. Between Silence and Soft Footfalls is a tender tale of family, devotion, and the slowest, sweetest burn of all. Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto

Under the same sky (naruto x reader) by Rose_rr56

In a world of shinobi where legacies are born in battle and names are carved into stone, you've never wanted to be known - just strong enough to survive. Born outside of a great clan, you blend into the backdrop of Konoha: skilled, quiet, unnoticed. But when a certain loud, reckless blond boy starts crossing paths with you, silence is no longer your shield. Naruto Uzumaki is everything you aren't: loud where you're quiet, wild where you're cautious, and determined to make the world acknowledge him. You never expected him to remember your name - let alone look at you like he sees you. From the scarred earth of the Chūnin Exams to the growing shadows of war, your bond with Naruto unfolds slowly - not in grand declarations, but in glances, quiet conversations, and the simple act of standing beside him, even when no one else does. This is not a story of destiny. This is a story of choice. A love that grows not in the spotlight, but beneath the same sky.

And a love that was never part of the plan. For how can a feared king bend the knee to a mere servant girl?

The Echo In The Wind | Itachi x OC by AlexandriaGrey_

Akira Kurotsuki was never meant to exist. A ghost in the ANBU ranks, a kunoichi without records, a girl whose dojutsu-the Echo Eye-sees truth in every trembling heartbeat. For years she has done Konoha's silent, dirtiest work, buried beneath missions no one else is allowed to remember. Then the Uchiha massacre shatters the village. And the prodigy who once fought at her side becomes the most hunted man in Fire Country. Itachi Uchiha has defected. The elders want him dead. The Third wants him found. And they send her-the one person he wasn't supposed to see again. But betrayal looks different when you know the truth behind the lies. When a weapon meets another weapon in the dark. When loyalty is questioned, and survival becomes a shared secret. Between moonlit forests, whispered confrontations, and the rising threat of war, Akira is forced to face the one mission she cannot complete without breaking: "Find Itachi Uchiha." And decide whether she will save him... or become the blade that finally kills him.

kakashi's Storm by unmasked_raven

Kakashi's Storm This is a slowburn story about Kakashi and Iko, an original character who, like him, has lost everything. Iko is the last survivor of a forgotten clan, raised in silence and survival. She doesn't just understand Kakashi-she mirrors him. Over time, their bond grows from unspoken respect into something deeper: a connection built on trust, shared pain, and unshakable loyalty. But when Iko is offered power, recognition, and a place in a rogue organization determined to tear down the shinobi world. The choice was obvious .she would never . But she did read to find out. As she walks a dangerous line between double agent and traitor, the story explores how far someone will go to protect what they care about-and what it means to fight a war no one can see. This is not a rushed romance. It's about two people finding each other slowly, through missions, memories, and moments that matter. If you're here for action, emotion, strategy, and bonds that don't need to be loud to be powerful-this story is for you. The most exciting part is the back story which will explain the relationship between Kakashi and Iko. But it will only be published on demand I do not own Naruto and the characters are not mine except for Iko
