You were his best friend. His rival. His anchor.
And the one person Kakashi Hatake swore he'd never let himself want.
Years ago, you disappeared without warning-no goodbye, no explanation. Now you're back, older, stronger, and more dangerous than ever. The village sees a loyal shinobi returning.
But Kakashi sees the ghost of everything he tried to forget.
He tells himself he's moved on. That his duties as a sensei to Team 7 come first.
That the longing in his chest is just a flicker of nostalgia.
But then your eyes meet his across the training field... and everything burns again.
The tension builds with every touch that lingers too long. Every mission that forces you close. Every word that goes unsaid.
You left once.
Kakashi's not sure he'll survive if you leave again.
In a world of secrets, masks, and war-what's more dangerous? Loving a shinobi... or trying not to?

"Naruto!" Sasuke gasped. "Have you seen Sakura?" "That's..." Kakashi cut Naruto off with his hand, waving him down. "That's actually why we came here... actually." Kakashi said. "Until further notice; your mission that you were to go on is not happening." Sasuke just looked at Kakashi, he wasn't known for stopping a mission unless something terrible was happening. "What happened to my Fiance..." Sasuke murmured. He wanted to inch his hand to his sword. He wanted something physical to attack. His anger was smothered in fear. "What would you think Karin would want with Sakura...?" Kakashi murmured. Kairn? What did she have to do with any of this. "I... I honestly wouldn't know... I don't keep up with them anymore. Why?" "Because Sakura was reported to be knocked out in a red headed girls arms just this morning, they tried to catch up to her, but failed." Kakashi murmured, Naruto grabbed Sasuke's arms and pinned them to his sides. Everyone knew Sasuke was about to act irrationally. Sasuke was wordless, he didn't know what to do. His mind raced. They couldn't catch up to Karin? They couldn't save her? He knew there was something they weren't telling him. "What the fuck.... you told me she was safe in this damn village!" Sasuke yelled. He pulled against Naruto, trying to free himself. "You told me to trust you damn it!" "Naruto..." Kakashi murmured. "I'm sorry Sasuke..." He mumbled from behind him. The last thing Sasuke remembered was Naruto hitting the back of his neck. So I guess this is how Sakura felt... ------- Uchiha Burden is a spin off from Chidori Heart. Sakura cant stand all of the relationships that are happening while Sasuke is gone, but when Sasuke comes home, it triggers more events then any of them ever expected. You wouldnt think an Uchiha would be such a burdenComplete

"Ashes fell between them... but somewhere, an ember still breathes." ⸻ Two and a half years ago, Ayame Mizuki swore she'd never leave the Leaf. Now she doesn't know if she'll ever see it again. The girl who once fought for peace now walks beside a boy who abandoned everything for power: Sasuke Uchiha. The name she once whispered like a promise, is colder now.. Sharper and unrecognizable. And yet... she follows. Their bond was once rooted in childhood, in loss, in unspoken hope. But time has scorched the innocence from them both. What remains is something darker. Something dangerous. Something neither of them can let go of. She's wanted. He's feared. Together, they're a ghost story whispered through villages. Two traitors. Two weapons. Bound not by duty, but by the ashes of what they used to be. This isn't just a love story. It's what happens after one dies, but there's a spark..

Painless (A Naruto Fanfiction) [Completed]
‘This time, I won’t get hurt.’ Asari Kazue is a shinobi who doesn't know pain. It's not that she's had a soft life- no shinobi does- she's simply physically incapable of feeling it. From the day she was old enough to understand, her family has been teaching her what can hurt her the same way a normal child is taught to read and write. Her cousin, Noriaki, has watched over her the entire time, becoming the protector her blind-brother never could. As she and her teammates are entered in one of the hardest tests of their lives, however, and she meets a person who seems to be an anchor in her unpredictable world, one thing becomes frighteningly clear. Just because one can’t feel pain doesn’t mean they can’t be hurt. *** ‘I’m not going mad, not yet.’ Kurama Jun has lived his entire life aware that one day he’d probably go crazy. To those who know him, he’s just another ticking bomb. In an effort to keep his freedom he pretends to be unaware of it all, as if the world around him isn’t as fragile as cracking glass. As the darkness within him grows stronger, however, it slowly becomes impossible. He can only hope that when it shatters, he’s the only one to break. *** ‘He said I could play family- but he never said I could stay.’ Miki has been taken into the Gekko family and has done her best to put her past behind her. As a result, she puts on a carefree attitude and to most of those around her, it seems as if she’s fine. The darkness that threatens Konoha, however, starts to shatter the world she’s built around herself. When an old enemy returns, she’s forced to confront not only feelings that she’s buried deep within her regarding the past she’s left behind, but also a different set of feelings. Ones that could shatter the fragile friendship with the one person she’s not willing to lose. *Book One in the Senseless Series* *Cover by AnimeFanToTheDeath*Complete![Smoke and Lightning (A Naruto Fanfiction) [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/22990131-256-k16475.jpg)
Smoke and Lightning (A Naruto Fanfiction) [Complete]
Years before Team 7 was formed, Hatake Kakashi was a member of ANBU. During this time he found it hard to find pleasure in anything, the faces of his dead friends haunting his every moment. It was this that caused him to begin to draw a line between himself and those surrounding him. Sometimes, however, lines drawn are crossed by the most unlikely of people. She has no name, nor does she have a past. She simply exists to follow what others tell her to do and to be passed from person to person under the orders of a man that she'd rather have nothing to do with. She doesn't talk- there is no need for it. It's not required for someone to speak when they follow orders. One day, however, the existance she's known is shattered as a white-haired ANBU shinobi shows up, under orders to bring her back to Konoha. For the first time in her life, she feels curious. Curiosity leads to pushing against this stranger's boundaries and seeing just how much one, small existance crossing a line can change the lives around them. **Prequel to Painless** **Cover made by Arctic_Sky**Complete
The Rise of Uchiha Clan Part II
Three years have passed since Team 7 was torn apart. Now sixteen, Naruto returns to the Hidden Leaf Village, older, stronger-but unprepared for the darkness that has taken root in his absence. What was once a hopeful mission to reunite his friends has become a descent into a world filled with new enemies, hidden truths, and emotional scars too deep to ignore.

As his grip on himself begins to slip, he stands on the edge of becoming the very thing he once vowed to destroy. Meanwhile, Hinata-no longer the timid girl she once was-has made her own choice: to walk into the storm if it means saving Sasuke from himself. Even if it costs her life, she's willing to face the darkness so he doesn't have to face it alone. In a world unraveling at the seams, the bond between these three is tested like never before. Love, loss, and fate collide-will Naruto's light be enough to pull them all back from the brink?Complete![✔ My Last Romance [A SasuSaku Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/27041807-256-k632471.jpg)

trapped ➳ naruto | ✔️
"Don't make this any harder than it has to be, Sakura." I swallowed hard, my body shaking. I can't believe this is actually happening. Who knew that it will actually end up like this? I knew that I have to save Naruto and Sasuke-kun so that we could run away and hide before it's too late. "I-I'm not opening the door." I took a step backwards, looking at the kitchen. There was a knife on the counter, I needed it. If he is going to break inside, I have to fight back in order to get out of here. I quickly get it and face the door once again. I take a deep breath and tighten the grip on the knife's handle. There was one big question that kept running inside my mind over and over again. When will this nightmare end? Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto suddenly found themselves stuck in their own "ideal world"; a world with no chakra, ninjas, wars and just peace, tranquility and happiness. Their loved ones who were once dead are alive and the place they called home is back to normal again. Everything seems perfect, right? Wrong. They soon find out the person who has trapped them in that world is out to kill them. What's worse is that he won't stop at nothing until they're dead and they don't even have chakra to fight back. Will they be able to escape and be safe? Or will they remain trapped forever? Quote of the story (but not in the actual story): "Just like everybody else, you three believe in everything until it's disproved. You believe in old myths, in ghosts, in powerful creatures, etc. It all exists, even if it's just in your minds. So who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as you and I?"
