Summary
Hatake Kakashi doesn't want a genin team. ANBU Hound can protect the village well enough, and he didn't have to deal with things like emotions.
Kakashi already had plenty of things keep his mind off his numerous failures. Like S- rank missions, or A-rank missions, or occasionally socializing with an algorithmically selected friend group whenever the Psych department started to question his fitness for the field, or even a B-rank mission when he wanted to relax.
Things are fine - could a depressed person spend 70% of their time reading jutsu theory and refining their abilities, trying to fill their never-ending loneliness with studying and rationality?
(Yes.)
Hiruzen gives him a team anyway. Fuck.Or
How I’d write Naruto given that the Elemental Nations are all authoritarian military dictatorships, trauma is real, and Kakashi’s only coping skill is being better than everybody else. Ft. A Frankly Excessive Amount of Worldbuilding.

Summary
“Shinobi die,” the Matchmaker tells her bluntly. “Life as a shinobi is hard, ugly and beyond all thankless. It will be much easier for you to bring honour to your family through a suitable marriage than as a kunoichi.”
“I know,” Sakura says, though she truthfully thinks that she has very little idea of what life as a shinobi is actually like. She raises her chin, meeting the older woman’s gaze. “I want to become a kunoichi.”
Sakura is raised by her sickly mother and her late father's clan. The clan wants her to become a lady and marry a noble, but her mother wants her to become a shinobi. In the end, Sakura will have to make a choice. But even as she makes her choice there is no guarantee that she will succeed.
This is the story of how Sakura becomes a shinobi.
AKA, the one where Kakashi has been a soldier since he was five years old and has no idea what to do with a little lady-in-training.

Summary
A missing-nin dies while trapped under one of Itachi's genjutsu. He knows that it sounds impressive, but they'd been sent to capture her. It's really not much of a catastrophe, but when Itachi kills someone, he likes to know how the hell he did it.

Bookmark Notes:
One of the best character depictions of Uchiha Itachi ever written. There’s some more fics in this universe the author wrote but didn’t include in this series.

Summary
With Kakashi at his back, Itachi expects his ANBU initiation mission to go smoothly. With his own doubts, an informant who tries to kill him repeatedly, and a mercurial Tsuyu Shisui in the mix, Itachi might have fallen in rougher waters then he can swim.

Summary
Naruto smiles up at him like there’s nothing wrong. His blond hair starts to turn to the color of blood, his blue eyes cloud into red. “I’ll see you on the other side.” He says, just before he burns up right in front of his eyes.
Sasuke screams until he lands flat on his back in a time that’s not his.Sasuke is tossed back into the past to stop the end of the world, but maybe the universe had wanted Naruto instead.
There's a wild Kurama running loose, rebuilding something that was lost long ago, and maybe thats a problem.
(Or: Time travel where it's Sasuke and Kurama who make it, for better or for worse)
