Summary
One moment Kakashi was out on a mission, the next he found himself stranded in a strange new world - offering something he had not dared to dream of: a fresh start.
But it is hard to start over when he is so quickly to fall back into well known paths, like not being able to stay out of trouble to live an ordinary life, and maybe eventually even teaching again...

Summary
(… and Deidara is a cat reaching to knock it over)
It was highly possible that literally anyone would have been a better person to send to the past than Deidara. Then again, it was less “sending” then Deidara “going,” and there was little anyone could do to stop him once he got going.
Not that Izuna seems all that inclined to try.

Summary
“Maybe the Christians were onto something,” he says absently. The weeks spent eating wild game and what grasses he figured weren’t toxic had eroded what self-consciousness he had. Who is going to judge him for speaking with his immortal, genocidal curse? The monsters? “It would make sense. I’d have gone to Heaven, you’d have gone to Hell, so God threw us in purgatory and washed his hands of the whole thing.”
“I certainly hope so.”
Yuuji blinks. He hadn’t expected that. “Yeah?”
“Oh, yes. If we are in what you call purgatory, that means we’re halfway to Heaven. Meaning, one day, I will figure out a way to break free and wreck their pretentious, wretched haven until there’s nothing left but smoke and ash.”
or
Yuuji and Sukuna get thrown into another world. On balance, it's probably a good thing, even if only because something worthy could be built from the ruin they leave in their wake.

Summary
Hitoshi knows there's something wrong with himself before he's even old enough to have a sense of self. He looks at his reflection and knows that the infant looking back at him isn't what he should be seeing.
His dreams are a maelstrom of grief and fear, his mind overwhelmed with a lifetime of emotions his brain isn't developed enough to comprehend. There's an ingrained instinct blaring that everything is wrong wrong wrong.
--
In which Hatake Kakashi is reincarnated as Shinsou Hitoshi, and he wants nothing to do with this world's so-called "heroes."

Summary
“That kid has a sword,” Hizashi says.
Shouta frowns. Probably. It’s hard to tell with all of the bandages. “It’s one of Maijima’s students.”
Hizashi’s sure his voice edges into incredulous. “He has kids making swords now?”
“Apparently," his temporary co-host replies.---
i.e.
In which Haganezuka runs into the Sports Festival, sword(s) blazing.
