Summary
A red-haired teenager stands at the gates of Konoha soon after the destruction of Uzushio, in the middle of the Second Shinobi War.
Hiruzen thinks he should suspect this sudden appearance, but his heart sings a different story. To an inexplicable calling of his instincts, he has a feeling the boy couldn't be a better protector and loyal shinobi of Konoha they've ever seen.
In fact, he secretly thinks as he plots, the boy can be in the running against Minato.
It was something Uzumaki Sei would have paled and protested at had he known.
Sei cupped his hands under the faintly glowing orb. The red chakra which pulsed with its flickering light tickled his hands.
"I'll need to wait a while, Kurama," he whispered, "a long while, maybe."
The light pulsed again. Sei smiled, wider than he'd ever allowed. In the confines of his mind, he was free from pain. The water rippled underneath his feet, pure and blue, and the walls gleamed white despite the cracks which ran through them.Bookmarked by Laurene_w

Summary
"Fernando is home in one hour!" Mark announced. "We need a plan!"
"Shit! We can't order a new telly in one hour!" Jenson replied, putting his hands on his head.
"Can't we just say it was Seb and call it a day?" Lewis asked.
"Babe, we don't want Seb to be the victim of a Fernando meltdown." Nico replied.
Kimi appeared from the doorway. "Seb is packing a bag and running away. Say goodbyes now."
"Fucking hell!" Mark sighed angrily and headed upstairs to Seb's room.

Summary
As the first princess was led to her execution, she did not bow her head. When her sentence was announced, Athanasia glared at the emperor with a killing gaze that sent chills down the spines of those present. They would tell the tale for a long time about that day when the princess suddenly vanished right in the midst of the courtroom filled with guards.
From that moment on, the imperial palace lived in constant anticipation. No one dared to say it, but young Athanasia was as frightening as her father. Deep down, everyone understood — she would return sooner or later to reclaim her crown.
AU: Athanasia in her first life, but her darker version, who doesn't believe in fairy tales, survives on her own strength rather than relying on others and does not forgive her enemies.

Summary
Ever since that fateful night, Naruto has only ever had one goal.
Pass the Exam, get her headband, and then-
Leave Konoha.
What use is there for her to stay in the place she lost the only family and warmth she could ever hope for? What purpose is there to stay when glares mark her back and animosity is all that spurs her forward?
Except she made a mistake. She grew cocky, and now her mistakes have come back to bite her in the form of four of Konoha's greatest shinobi alive being brought back to life and tied to her through blood and tears. Except she has no idea how, and the more she learns the less she understands. What could possibly tie her to the likes of Konoha's Kage, and even more so, their most famed deserter?Bookmarked by Laurene_w
