    Summary

    When Giyuu was four, his mother took him and his sister to see the ocean for the first time.

    It’s only six months before her death, six months before he and Tsutako became orphans, and if Giyuu is honest, his memories of that day have long since faded. He knows they took a train, knows Tsutako was the first to rush into the water still warm from summer’s fading light. He knows he was more reluctant, that he held his mother’s hand while he watched the waves crash upon the shore.

    “Are you afraid?” she asked, her frail fingers carefully intertwined with his own. Giyuu shook his head. “No? I didn’t think so. Do you not want to swim then?” He shook his head.

    “I want to stay with you,” he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

    Together they walked across the beach, the ocean eagerly nipping at their feet. Eventually Giyuu will swim, eventually the water will take him as her own. But not today.

    Today he was his mother’s son.

     

    Blood in the house. Blood on the mountain. Blood in the water.

    Summary

    The year is XX3 on the new shinobi calendar when an Orochi, a Nara, and a pair of Hatake twins decide it's an excellent idea to tamper with Tobirama Senju's infamous time space seal for fun and profit. This goes... about as well as you would expect.

    (To be fair, only one of them actually thought it was any sort of 'good idea.')

     

    Or; Early Konoha idiot teenagers get blasted to the modern era and immediately expose a conspiracy, set shit on fire and get arrested (but not in that order), more at 7.

    Summary

    In his sixth year, Kakashi receives a message and a gift. It's a meagre, trifling thing. It's also a miracle, a blessing, a privilege.

    It's a fucking burden, is what it is.

    Summary

    When Sakura realizes that playing little girl and flunking combat training had probably been a gross miscalculation on her part, she’s stranded in a rickety home in a run down country with an unconscious sensei. Sakura isn’t sure if she can make up for that mistake before it kills her or her team but she sure as hell will give it her best shot.

    She really couldn’t have known that falling victim to Hatake Kakashi’s unique attempts at teaching would open up another can of worms entirely.

    Summary

    She bit her lip. "I....we've got some of the instant cook stuff. But I don't know how to make actual ramen." She admitted. Honestly, she didn't know how to make much more then rice without burning it. She tended to get distracted, or worse- bored, halfway through and not keeping as close an eye as she should to food.

    "That's fine! I like all sorts of ramen! Though I don't like waiting for the water to boil." He whined. She quickly got out two ramen cups and the kettle, filling the later with water and flipping it on. It was one of those fancy kettles that heated itsself with wires except of a fire on the stove; a gift from her Kaa-san's Nii-san.

    "It's boring." She nodded, totally getting his point. He cheered in agreement, so she continued, "You have to wait for it to get so hot, and then wait for it to cool down again?"

    "Right! Does the water wanna be warm or not? It's gotta make up it's mind!" Naruto said. Sakura laughed, and he laughed along.

    Weirdos. Weirdos bonding over weirdo stuff. Inner accused. The kettle's done.
