Summary
Kintsugi: the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold.
Wakame Kiyo was a survivor of the brutal Bloodline Purges in Kiri.
Her clan may be gone but she escaped, and vowed to survive to honour the memories of her family. Unfortunately fate is not kind, and surviving is not as easy as she though it would be.
In order to stay hidden, she must suppress her true self. She is forced into a life she never would have imagined-but sacrifices must be made.
Forced into serving a civilian, she arrives in Konoha a shadow of her true self. Despite her past, she sparks the friendship of a lonely, angry boy who has the potential to help free her from the reality she’s imposed on herself.
But just because he has the power to help her, doesn’t mean he will.
Sasuke/OC. Slow burn.

Summary
A failed novelist from our world with no knowledge of Naruto reincarnates into the body of a Kyuubi orphan. Atsuko is content to languish in mediocrity as a career genin.
Bored, she spends her spare time rewriting stories from her old world - only for a publisher to snatch them up. Atsuko becomes a best-selling author built on a throne of lies. Good thing there's no such thing as copyright law in a military dictatorship...?
In which Atsuko shamelessly rips off the Western Literary Canon, is frog-marched into Konoha’s Intelligence division to become a corporate spy, and accidentally steals Jiraiya's thunder. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
[Translation] Hitomi died, and that sucked. Then she got reincarnated into the Naruto universe as a baby, and that sucked even more. Facing seas of fire and rivers of lightning before breakfast wasn't exactly her idea of a second chance, you see. But that's what she had, and so she grabbed it by the horns. This is the story of how she'll attempt to make the best of it. And if she can save a few people here, screw over a few other there, and get Danzō dead then deader, well, what more can a girl ask for?

Summary
Obito arrives a few moments earlier when Rin jumps in front of Kakashi’s chidori. He’s still too late to save her, but he’s in time to watch the sequence of events that makes Kakashi shatter. Instead of returning to Madara, he chooses to live by his own mantra and refuses to abandon his friend in his time of need. Obito returns to Konoha with Kakashi, and this results in just a few unintended consequences. One of them being his insistence that he should be allowed to care for his late sensei’s orphan son, no matter what the Sandaime might say about the matter. He’s not quite sure how Kakashi becoming his unofficial co-parent fits into this, but he’ll figure it out eventually.

Summary
She remembered dying.
What she did not expect was, after what amounted to drowning in her own fluids at thirty-two years old, was instead of whatever made up the afterlife, she opened her eyes in a world both somehow familiar as well as altogether strange.
She’d been tired for a long time before she died. However she’d been granted a second life, she was never going to thank anyone for it, no matter how amazing or awful it ended up being. That said, if she ever met the reason she was sucked into the Naruto ‘verse, there would be much shin-kicking to be done.

Summary
Had Jiraiya known that the girl would become the cornerstone for all of Konohagakure's modern tragedies, he never would have left her on Minato's doorstep in the first place. Ah well, hindsight is 20/20 after all.

Summary
Wherein transmigration occurs, but not everybody gets to start out as a baby. ANBU Dog is also, by far, the worst captain ever, and Kagura very much does not recommend working with him because he’s a loony piece of shit.
A gripping tale of ANBU shenanigans, disturbing romances, and excessive gore. Highly self indulgent.

Summary
When Uchiha Hatsuhime was ten years old, her mother and father died on a mission in the Land of Rivers. In a (completely) unrelated incident, her older sister and her brother-in-law also died, orphaning Hatsuhime’s baby nephew, Obito.
Having recently passed the genin certification exam, Hatsuhime continues living in the home her parents raised her in. Obito is placed in the care of Uchiha Fūbuki, his paternal grandmother—someone who is both feared and respected for reasons a young Hatsuhime isn’t privy to.
She begins her career as a genin, and their paths don’t cross for nearly a decade.
Eight years later and newly ‘retired’ from Anbu, Hatsuhime prepares to welcome Obito into her home after his elderly grandmother suffers a stroke.
On the same day as her retirement, her teenage crush and head of the Uchiha Clan (Uchiha Fugaku himself!) offers her a job at the Konoha Keimu Butai. Then Obito arrives late to his own modest welcoming party and Hatsuhime knows the next few weeks, months—years—are going to be a trial of patience.
