    Summary

    No one ever spoke of what happens after. After the battles are all over and the tired soldiers return home, wide-eyed and jumping at odd sounds. They don't speak of the graves. The endless rows of turned earth or the small stones that are the only reminders of those never recovered. A place for mothers to weep and friends to question why. No one speaks of the all consuming grief. Waking up each morning knowing that things are not quite the same and never will be again.

    Two young adults with very different backgrounds are both learning to navigate in a world torn by the fourth war. How does someone move forward when everything they know is fundamentally different.

    Summary

    “To put it simply, your father’s alive.”

    At those impossible words, Naruto’s eyes instantly shot up to stare at Sarutobi in disbelief.

    “W-what..?”

    “This.” Sarutobi stared back at Minato with crinkled eyes. “Is your father, Namikaze Minato.”

    Minato, like any sane person who was not two seconds away from bursting into tears at the amount of emotions he was feeling, simply kneeled to Naruto’s level and smiled softly at him “…Hi, Naruto. I’ve been dying to see you,” he said with a nervous chuckle.

    Or...

    Namikaze Minato survives the Nine-Tails Attack, though not without consequences. Sealed for years inside none other than his own son, watching as the world lives on without him, what happens when he finally manages to break free?

    Summary

    After the Mission to take Sasuke back failed, the sand siblings stay for a few days in Konohagakure. A little while after returning to Sunagakure, Gaara comes back to Konoha alone. His mission: Learn how to love and be loved.

    Shikamaru just wants to spend a little bit more time with Neji. To get to know him, just because Neji’s cool. Neji thinks about Shikamaru more than he probably should. And Kakashi and Gai just have a really weird work relationship.

    [This story is set after the Sasuke Recovery Mission and will diverge from canon events from that point on.]
