Summary
Sasuke shouts himself awake almost before the sun crests over the Hokage monument.
The light, gentle as it washes over the Uchiha compound, cuts through the windows and bathes Sasuke in warm, golden light as he lays there and tries to remember how to breathe. He looks with unseeing eyes at where the gaps in the curtains have let the gentle light in to hit his hands, his chest, his thighs, and the sensation leaves him feeling cold. The nightmares are still vivid as they dance in front of his eyes, and all he can think is: that's where it was, that's where I had to wash Mother's blood away.

Summary
The children that awaken these crimson eyes are given two choices: either have the eyes removed, or be put to death. Most, perhaps predictably, choose to remove their eyes. Yet none survive longer than a few days without them.
They all kill themselves soon after.

Summary
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. He's a controversial figure for his numerous failures while in charge. Those failures certainly exist, and while I am not an apologist, I feel like his actions, or lack thereof, are not quite as story-breaking as you might think.
Also, I unintentionally end up dissecting Yamato's anime backstory and prove that Yamato Breaks the Narrative.

Summary
Here's yet another small thing to look at in the Naruto world: Blood types. They're largely missing from the Boruto series, so, what can we make of that? No real corrections involved here, no rewrites, just a collection of thoughts on a very niche subject.

Summary
“Do you have any idea how it felt?” Sasuke demands. “He murdered my parents. My entire clan. He ripped everyone and everything I ever loved away from me. And you told me to just let it go—to let him go—when nobody was going after him. Nobody was chasing him. Nobody was doing anything, because nobody cared, no one except me.”
Sasuke’s eyes sting. He tastes a storm in the back of his throat.
“That’s what you never understood. It wasn’t some selfish, vengeful desire to do the deed myself. I had to be the one to kill him, because I was the only one who would."
An evening conversation with Shikamaru leads Sasuke to Kakashi's office, where he finds himself speaking all the feelings he's been holding back.

Summary
When Sasuke's Rinnegan throws him back in time, it doesn't throw him far enough to stop the massacre. Only fate could be that cruel he supposes.
No, he wakes to cold, slimy Sound walls. And Orochimaru's silk bedlinen.
Itachi is still alive. The war hasn't started yet. He could stop that much at least.
But he's so tired. Exhausted from fighting Kaguya's spawn. Tired from fighting everyone's expectations. Drained from trying to be what Konoha needs him to be. He can't go through it all again just to end up the same. He won't. Even if it kills him.- Language:

Summary
The Naruto timeline can be seen as a hot mess for a variety of reasons. Here is my attempt to iron out the things I see as rough spots, as well as do a little world building and add some ideas of my own. The result was something of a low-key rewrite. Based on Seelentau's timeline. Updates will be made as needed. Fanon will be present, but will not overtake the events of the series. UPDATED 06-22-25.
Now with an in-progress reading by the author

Summary
"They're dead," Sasuke cries, his tears soaking into Itachi's vest. "Nii-san, they're all dead..."
Itachi wraps his arms around his trembling brother, holding him close. He presses his lips against Sasuke's hair, rests his chin on the top of his head.
He doesn't cry. He hasn't cried since he was four.
AU. The Uchiha Massacre still happens, but not by Itachi's hand. Itachi stays in Konoha, and Sasuke grows up with his brother at his side.
NEW VERSION.
