Summary
Did he love her? In a way, yes. But it wasn't an innately human sort of love. It wasn't introspective and complicated. He simply wanted her all to himself, and to spend the rest of his life entwined with her body, committing every note of her scent to memory.

Summary
Mariko is a whirlwind of power and unpredictability. Her fiery spirit drives her forward, but her impulsive decisions often lead her into dangerous territory. Haunted by a shadowed past and fueled by a desire to lead a better life, she struggles to control the immense strength she wields. In a world where the line of truth and lies blur, she must confront the fragility of her own humanity -- before the world forces her to choose between survival and sacrifice.
Kokoa, Hoshimi, and Kagu are three genin of Team Nine, navigating the chaos of their fractured world after the death of their sensei. Kokoa's kind nature keeps her from letting go of a past that can't be revived, Hoshimi's cold distance hides a deeper pain, and Kagu's calm exterior belies a dangerous inner fire that can quickly lose control at any given moment. Despite their differences, they must find strength in each other -- or risk losing everything.

Blossoming Beginnings (Pre-Sasuke Retrieval Arc - Rewrite) by MartialArtsLover7

Summary
A small side project of mine. It is no secret that, even the most loyal of SasuSaku fans have to agree on the disheartening reality that, Sasuke's and Sakura's relationship was poorly handled. Purely relying on sub-context, tape and prayers, that it all works out in the end, and I say: Bullocks to that, we deserved better. Especially Sakura.
And this is what this small series is for: Me writing, the well-needed setup to their developing relationship. Because, Kishimoto's retcons in Shippuden have caused so much irreparable damage to the tonal and moral consistency of his own plot, causing characters like Sasuke to be coming off as "spoiled", as if he has to be "grateful" to even be alive. And I say, what for? Konoha, and the elders have made Sasuke's life a living hell, and you mean to tell me, Sakura -- Someone, SUPPOSEDLY on the same IQ level as Shikamaru -- could never connect the dots on why Sasuke couldn't stay in the village? Bullshit, let's just say how it is.
Hence, this story was birthed. I want to write a theoretical scenario, in which all given promises about Sakura's character are kept, AND her romance with Sasuke receives more meat around the bone.
All characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto

Summary
Like I said before, "Hero Side" and "Dark Side" story is complete. Now, like in the old Sonic games, we have one final hurdle to get past, and that is, the "Last" Story portion (I just realized, this could be considered a jab at "The Last" Naruto movie, eh, whatever, never liked that movie, anyway).
Unlocked, if you beat both the Hero and Dark missions, and this time, we switch back and forth, between Neji and Hinata, to remind us, how significant this match truly is, not just for the characters, but also the Hyuga as a whole. History, shall be written. And that's not a joke.
Also, just as a side-note, yes, Neji and Hinata did unlock their Bankakyo Byakugan, but it's not fully awakened yet. You will seen why, I have decided to settle all this on a rival confrontation in the ring. The wait will be worth it, trust me. See you there.

Summary
While Naruto's wound from the chidori might have healed, the scars Sasuke Uchiha caused never left her heart. When she left with Jiraiya she vowed to leave that all behind and get stronger. Noticing his students mental struggles, Jiraiya uses his big network to start a penpal Project with one of his trusted allies outside of the Elemental Nations.
Yaga was getting fed up with Satoru's behaviour. It was time for the boy to make some friends outside of Suguru - even if it meant on paper - maybe then he would finally understand human interactions better. He couldn't blame the boy, being treated like a god and not like a child he was all his life. Some humbling would do him good, He decided he would make the best partner for the person his old friend Jiraiya described.
Or alternatively the Penpal AU nobody asked for

Summary
Hunting. Blood. Violence. Power. Instinct.
These are the only truths Kuzuri Uchiha lives by, a beast in human skin, thriving on the thrill of the kill. She had never known warmth, not really, not the kind that comes from a gentle hand, but rather the one coming from the bloody throat of her prey. Whether the latter was an animal or another human being it was irrelevant in her eyes.Izuna Uchiha knew war, but never joy in the kill; he fights for duty, for clan, for brotherhood.
She lives to feel demise. He lives to protect.
And in the vengeful dance between predator and protector their fates intertwine in a fragile connection. Blooming in the abyss within them both, standing on the thin line between beast and warrior, brotherhood and bloodshed. This was the truth of the warring states.Will there ever be space for gentleness, when the world shouts to claim its children?
