    Summary

    A few streets away from the temple (derelict since the regime change), cramped between buildings old enough to predate his grandfather, there was a shopfront with Apothecary writ on the sign in faded paint. The pharmacist in residence: a nominal shinobi, inactive duty, and a local curiosity for the simple fact of having survived so long. Kisame might have gone on ignoring that curiosity, if personal circumstance hadn’t shifted enough to make poison a necessity.

    Summary

    A second chance at life— great, right? Not when it’s in Kirigakure, the bloody Village Hidden in the Mist. War shapes you. Loss hardens you. And when survival means sacrificing everything, you start to wonder: Is it better to fight the darkness or embrace it?

    Akuto’s story isn’t about heroes. It’s about what’s left when there are none.

    Summary

    Team 7 takes on more than they can handle during their first C-rank mission and disaster ensues.

    In the aftermath, Sakura does the best she can to be useful, trapped in the rough care of Zabuza and Haku. Learning how to survive in shark infested waters.

    Naruto and Sasuke’s bond strengthens, as they plot their revenge. And as usual, Kakashi hides away from his problems.

    Kisame really just wants a drink. (And a snack.)

    Summary

    Sequel and some side stories to 'The Merciless Current (dragging you down and down and down)' from other points of view.

    Kakashi was used to losing people. He was not used to getting them back. And the feral surviving Sakura he gets back is not the same little nearly-civilian Haruno Sakura he lost but he's damned happy to have her back regardless.
