Summary
Naruto and Sakura have gone insane.
Or: Just after becoming Team 7 Naruto and Sakura go through a massive shift in personality, leaving Sasuke out of the loop and wondering what in the name of sanity could have happened to them. His only consolation is that Kakashi is just as weirded out as he is.

Summary
Before the age of six, Ōno Umeko committed a murder—she killed the real Umeko.
“I’m disappointed, Umeko.” She opened her eyes and he took a sip of his sake. “You have such a narrow mind still, after all these years.”
It wasn’t what she expected. Umeko was expecting to be disciplined for not being good enough, but being narrow-minded? She didn’t understand. “Grandfather?”
On steady legs, despite the bandages wrapping him, he stood to his full height. “Did you think I had no influence on the Academy at all? You forget yourself.”
Umeko swallowed his disappointment and it tasted like copper. “I’m sorry, Grandfather.”
He looked down on her at her position on the ground, and she felt so lowly. Even more pathetic and sad than when she whispered empty compliments to Ino, when Shikamaru rejected her.
Her grandfather started walking away, and said into the quiet of the big lonely house, “I gave you your tools. Now use them.”

Summary
"Do you feel stupid and regret it yet?" A twist on the usual isekai reincarnation. It'd be less embarrassing if it was as anyone other than Sasuke. SI/OC-Insert.
Canon has fallen off a cliff entirely as of chapter 22.
As of chapter 36, we are now officially past anything that paralleled the original arcs.

Summary
Every ninja comes from somewhere. Sometimes they make themselves out of nothing. And sometimes they are shaped by forces they cannot escape. In which the Haruno are also a clan and nothing will ever be the same.
