Summary
Soulmates exist. Nobody knows what they mean, except that you receive the name of your soulmate somewhere on your body, and in some cases, a bond of empathy so extreme you feel each other's pain to the point of mirroring life-threatening wounds.
Hatake Kakashi refuses to cover his still-not disappearing mark, out of sentimentality. When Itachi comes to him with some alarming information, he's suddenly sent on a long-term undercover mission out of the village to uncover the conspiracy behind the masked man who tried to take advantage of the chaos.
He doesn't plan on discovering his long-dead soulmate.

Summary
Naruto Uzumaki was never going to stay hidden.
When the Akatsuki dared to take Kashi, they had no idea who they’d crossed. Naruto might be a kid, but he’s also the son of the genius ninja Kakashi Hatake. That means he’ll find a way to bring Kashi home, no matter what. Sage Mode. Shinobi terrorists. Pain himself. Bring it on. Naruto will face down the Sage himself if it means saving the man who raised him.
Because for Naruto, “family” isn’t who you’re born to. It’s who you bleed for.(A missing-nin Kakashi raises Naruto AU with sage-mode shenanigans, feral but supportive Kurama, the unyielding loyalty that is Maito Gai, and the unrelenting chaos that is Naruto’s “you hurt my dad” mode. Sequel to The Fox Runs to Sand.)

Summary
Naruto Uzumaki finally had enough. After how Konoha treated him, why should he fight for its sake? He'd rather leave, and with the help of what's in his gut he does just that.
Hunter-nin, capture squads, assassination attempts, it's all part of life as a missing-nin. Not that Naruto minds. He'll put up with all of it, if that's what it takes to live free.
Really though, after the first few times, you'd think the villages would stop sending kunoichi after the guy with supernatural foxy charms. Luckily for Naruto, no one ever accused the higher-ups of being all that bright.

Summary
''Years after the fall of the great Uzushio, a half-blood child will be born — bearing the weight of the world and the legacy of Kaguya Otsutsuki." the Great Toad Sage said, "When the moon turns red, and when the great nations are in despair, the child shall appear and seal back the Mother of Chakra--somehwere, beneath the Kanji of Seals."
It wasn't supposed to be him, right? He's just a random orphan who holds the Nine-Tails in place-- the deadlast, the pariah. He doesn't even believe he's an Uzumaki himself yet!
"Naruto Uzumaki." Jiraiya called, looking down at him, with some seriousness he've never seen from the clumsy pervy sage, "The son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. You are the half-blood." -

Summary
How much can a weapon take before it shatters? How much pressure can a person take until they snap? How far can someone’s loyalty be stretched before they give in to doubt?
Kakashi, for one, knows that limit. He knows it, and he’s about to make it the whole world’s problem.
Or, after a series of revelations, Kakashi defects from the village with Itachi after the Uchiha massacre and joins the Akatsuki. His choice changes everything.

Summary
Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage of Konohagakure, passes away just before he can officially pass down his mantle to the next leader. But fate isn't done with him yet—Kakashi is given a second chance.

His goal is simple: to save his friends, protect his village, and create a future free from the pain of the past.
But in abandoning his moral compass, Kakashi finds that his actions have consequences. As he faces new enemies and revisits old relationships, he must grapple with the cost of his choices and the ever-shifting balance between salvation and sacrifice.

Summary
After initially getting told he wasn't allowed to take in his sensei’s son and being reassured baby Naruto would be taken care of, Kakashi throws himself into ANBU, only to return from a mission 2 years later and discover Naruto getting beaten up by a crowd of drunk civilians, and a few shinobi to boot. Desperate to save his little brother, Kakashi takes Naruto, packs up the barest of basics and whatever else he can quickly shove into a bag, and books it out of the village, fully prepared to become a missing nin to protect Naruto. Only, a teleportation jutsu goes wrong, and Kakashi and young Naruto are thrown across galaxies onto Kordia IV, where the young copy nin witnesses an armored warrior disposing of what appeared to be two allies of theirs before moving onto a third. Kakashi, young enough to still react to his anger, especially after what he just went through, snaps. After all, like Obito said; those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash.

Summary
When Kakashi was ten, he was killed in action on a dangerous mission.
At least, that’s what the report says. His mission was closed, archived, and his name forgotten to the sands of time. But Kakashi hadn’t died, and his name was steadily changing from forgotten to notorious.
Then again, one would expect nothing less than notorious from the leader of the Akatsuki.

Summary
Seventy-two hours became a lifetime, where each cycle of the nightmare came with a flawless transition, beginning to end, beginning to end. He’d mistakenly thought that his own mangekyou would spare him the hellscape brought to life around him; in the moments between cruel words and sharpened blades, he told himself that he should have run away, whether he would have been branded a coward or not. There was no one left to see him as the second son of the clan head, not when the clan was no more. And then the torture continued and his screams continued, where he shook like a leaf while his own mind scolded him for being weak, words fed to him from the mouths of his dead family and from the brother he loved more than anything. He was weak, always too weak, a prodigy but not enough of one, a smaller, generic version of his older brother. Nothing he said or did was ever good enough for their father, and he finally understood that the man had known the truth all along. He would never be good enough. He had been pathetic since birth.

Summary
In a world where people weren't interested in him, he turned to the foxes. There was, however, someone who made the human existence still have a meaning.
Or, what if the Kyuubi had actually made Naruto more kitsune-like, and the Uchiha massacre never happened?
We'd still be polar opposites, pulling each other in like a magnet.

Summary
The ocean is similar to war in a peculiar way.
The ocean promises nourishment and adventure, while war teases justice and honor. Both can rage and ravage, yet sometimes battlefields quiet and waters calm. The ocean pulls laughing children deep into the abyss, but these same children yearn for glory in killing nameless faces.
Despite these similarities, they could never be the same—for one simple reason: the ocean is said to be the birthplace of man, but war only creates monsters.

Summary
“Wanna smoke?”
Shikamaru raises his packet of cigarettes. Sakura leans over the balcony, hair twisting down her face. Laughs. That fake smile such a quick, beautiful lie. Perhaps not such a lie after all. The clouds above going gold. It's become a routine, by now - her above, him below, calling up. A comfortable kind of repetition.
“Some other time, Nara,” She says.
Her shunshin sounds like the beginnings of a summer storm in the trees - it’s so fast, it barely leaves a trace.
(In which Sasuke goes missing, Naruto runs after him, and Sakura is left to stitch it all together as she always is. Funnily, she's got pretty good at it over all these years.)

Summary
Over fifty percent of the shinobi population was wiped out in the short span of the Fourth Great Shinobi War. Over fifty percent across all the elemental nations. The worst part, it took people she wasn’t okay losing.
And everyone else around her acted like after three years that rebuilding the village made everything perfect again. They made her sick, they made her angry, they made her not want to be near them.
Sakura looked around and let that random passing thought have just enough space to maybe take root in her mind. Not be near them. She could leave. The urge didn’t just strike her and she left. No, Haruno Sakura let it fester. It struck her as a fun notion on the roof of the hospital on her lunch break. It was forgotten just as quickly. But it didn’t stay forgotten for long.Short story about if after the war there was nothing tying her to Konoha anymore and she left instead of staying. She becomes a whole new person in her new life and meets some people along the way.
