Summary
An existence of peace in the Pure Land does wonders to heal lifelong scars and reunite a once broken team, but Team Seven, no matter which iteration, has never had the best relationship with peace.
While Rin, Obito, and Kakashi might be responsible for their predicament, they certainly didn't mean for it to turn out like this. Now, thrown back to the last moment all three of them were alive, the once-again young members of Team Minato find themselves dealing with something far more consequential than deja vu.
They've already gone through this travesty of a script once before, however, and they're not eager for a repeat performance. The fabric of space-time can kindly set itself on fire, they're doing this their way.

Summary
Helping Senju Tobirama through a surprise heat without losing his head and ending up fathering a litter on the Uchiha clan's most lethal enemy had been torture. A test of willpower the likes of which Madara never wants to go through again. Juggling his little brother's furious storm of look-at-me-I-hate-you hadn't helped.
The fallout should have been easier by comparison! Just tell the Elders to butt out of his sex life, let Izuna find them a lover that could hold a candle to that bleached bastard,
not feel guilty that Tobirama's own marriage prospects were now ruined,plot behind everyone's backs with the clan leader of their most terrible enemy, not alienate his lovely, paranoid, adorably pining little brother by babying him too much, tell the Elders to butt out of his sex life --Easy.
Meanwhile Izuna despairs of making his brother ever see reason and Tobirama goes dutifully on to his solitary end. See? Easy.

Summary
Most shinobi ought to know not to meddle with things that don't pertain to the mission. But Boruto isn't just another shinobi.
A C-Rank retrieval mission takes Boruto's squad to the excavation of an ancient village left in ruins. When he splits off from his teammates to go exploring, he finds himself unwittingly thrown back to a time when his father was shorter than him, the village was half the size, and a whole lot of dead people were still alive and kicking. Were that the only problem, maybe he could cope. But the curse mark on his arm just won't stop talking to him.
And being the Hokage's son, it's only a matter of time before his old man goes looking for him.

Summary
Neil’s mother could call a monsoon down from a crisp blue sky. Her power was tearful and tormented; she was always wreathed with rainwater, a grey veil obscuring her face.
Neil’s father was righteous electricity. His power was a fork in a wall socket. He went off before he was even born; his lightning struck his mother dead from the inside out. A killer before he even entered the world—a born murderer.
Long before he was Neil, he could cradle sunbeams in each hand, whistle for hail, and bend fog around his enemies like blindfolds. He could cover his footsteps with peals of thunder as he ran, and wash away crime scenes with downpours.
Neil is recruited into the Foxes, a team of reformed "volatiles" who tackle injustices as an outlet for their more-dangerous-than-average abilities. Neil craves a proper lightning rod to channel his powers, and a mask to hide behind. But his new team feels divided by super-charged suspicion and bad blood, and one particular Fox keeps bending time to appear to Neil at inopportune moments. Somewhere, a storm is brewing.
