The one where Iruka is part water dragon

For fic_promptly: "She has gotten stronger."

Hinata has long been inspired by Naruto, and watching his determination helps her find her own. Seeking a way to help her clan and herself, she turns to Hyuuga's history and finds old strength and new thoughts there, courage and hope. In the end, she even finds her way back to an older love.

Characters/Pairings: Hinata, Ino, Sakura, Sakura/Hinata, Tenten
Summary: The young women of Sakura's age cohort go out for a night of bonding, and this winds up with Sakura taking Hinata home with her.

"Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi. Friendship. A gen, but not quite, story about comrades, coming out, and cows. Now with slightly less gen sequel."

1) Contrary to popular belief - or what would be popular belief if anyone bothered to remember the Hidden Mountain existed - the village's emblem isn't a stylized peak or a mountain range.

It's a school.

'Team 7 finds out.

A snapshot of Neji's reaction to any disrespect for Hinata among the Hyuuga. Unrepentant clan-kink with D/s undertones. Set after "Cloud Hands", when Neji and Hinata are, perhaps, in their twenties.

An AU in which all the character development of part one gets its due: Kakashi finds another way, Sasuke does not leave the Leaf, Itachi remains a villain, no one is a carbon copy of a previous generation, Sakura grows up to be terrifying, Sasuke finds his way back to family, and Naruto wins all hearts. Featuring Team Seven fluff, filling in the time-skip, and a rather different second half. Drama, Angst, Romance, Fluff, Action, Occasional Porn.
Complete.

"It's not the pain," she says. "It's the healing."

"I want to make Naruto my heir," Kakashi said bluntly.

Chouryuukei Tsukimaru thinks he is playing a game with a helpless girl as his toy. He is very, very wrong. AU Team 7 fic, semi-sequel to "Tides."

Madara lied about the eye transplant's effects. Captured and brought back to Konoha, Sasuke must adjust to blindness and his unexpected survival. Remix of "Put a little fixing on it," by megyal.

He was a chuunin academy teacher, not a courtier trained in statecraft and diplomacy.

Spring fever can be a distracting ailment, even for toughened Shinobi.

The Uchiha clan descended on the beach in a thunder of running children, frazzled women, hidden weapons, and far too many canvas bags.

The transition between Sasuke and Saki-chan is always the hardest part.

When they come home from a bad mission, the first thing they do is check both doors, all the windows, the foundations of the house, and the shingles on the roof. When they are satisfied their home is still safe, they take a long bath, all three together. They sit in a circle on their wooden stools and scrub each others' backs: Sakura to Sasuke to Naruto to Sakura. Then they soak in the furo.

Saki-chan verse

Fan fanfic based on Asuka Kureru's Lace and Strawberries Narutoverse. Saki sensei has her first genin team, and the poor kids have no idea what the teacher watching over them is hiding... NaruSasu with a twist

Ninjas IN SPACE! Join Soragakure's pirate ship captain, Uzumaki Naruto and his crew of misfits on an epic adventure, spanning whole galaxies as they fight to gain control of a viciously dangerous viral mainframe, parts of which are contained in the partly-cyborg bodies of nine men and women all over the known universe. Enemies become friends and friends become something more in a frantic race to outrun the unscrupulous Akatsuki organisation and the corrupt Alliance of space cities and steal a weapon that may mean the end of creation as they know it.

Sandaime never had to put up with any of this crap.
[Naruto/Gaara]

A historian in the future makes a surprising discovery about the relationship between the "classic" Hokage... and it's not the one you'd think.

History had a way of repeating itself. Humanity forgot the lessons learned from history, and somehow the past would be recycled into the present, and people would walk through the same lives as their ancestors, tracing a well-trod path.

The blood of Clan Uchiha runs pure in Mikoto's veins. There's a reason why she's the strongest kunoichi in Konoha.

During the timeskip, Sakura finds a very interesting diary among Tsunade's books and papers.

It's strange how for something that starts with the assumption that naruto got assaulted by a serial killer who might even be his dad, the Locker Room Therapy 'verse is awesome for when I want to crank out banteriffic narusasu cuteness. XD (if you want more, hit the tag, I'm too lazy to look for relevant links.)

So, um. Naruto comes out to his friends! Yeah.

Kakashi and Iruka are bonded together, entirely against their wishes. While Iruka begins to deal with it, Kakashi still has... doubts.

Look, I don't even know how to classify this. It's... simultaneously a high school AU and a crossover fic? Or several?

A shinobi can sense the chakra of enemies, and more than that, the movement of the world around them.

It said something about Gai that Iruka was actually unsure whether that was a line.

One day, in the academy, they ask a question:

"How strong do you want to be?"

It is a simple question for simple minds, but brings out complex answers - if only the teachers had thought to look underneath the underneath, as they keep telling their students to do.

When rumors of Sasuke dressing in drag reach Konoha's higher-ups, Team Seven is required to report to the village's "shinobi evaluator" to determine if Sasuke is too crazy to remain in service. Pity the evaluator. Set in Asuka Kureru's Saki-chan universe

You see us every day: the paperwork ninja, who sit behind a desk and push papers around. You may pity us, or hold us in contempt, or ignore us. But you do not know us.

The Paperwork Ninja survive a typical Wednesday. Which are better than Tuesdays. Best not to ask about Tuesdays. Various Jounin start an avalanche without realizing whose wrath they have incurred.

Umino Iruka is a good ninja and a good man. But nobody is born with all the answers.

It was like an equation. The more powerful the Jounin, the weirder they tended to get.

“Shukaku. He’s trying to knock me out and take over,” Gaara said, his voice weak and tired.

When Lee could get his mouth working again, he said “What?”

“Since I was stupid enough to catch this bug…he’s interfering with my immune system. I’ve been lax…he’s slipped through a bit…”

His sister's face was carefully controlled, but she looked oddly pale beneath her tan. A grim Kankuro trailed her into Gaara's office, followed, surprisingly, by Naruto, who should have been in Konoha last they'd heard from him. In his fist, Naruto gripped a Leaf headband sewn onto a red belt.
[not-death fic]

At first, Kakashi was mostly sure he had lost his mind.

| PG-13 | It's rough being Team 7.
