    Summary

    “Okay, maybe we shouldn’t have told him his dad would still love him if he was a nudist,” Fennec says, looking down at the abandoned potato sack garment in the middle of the palace hangar bay floor.

    Summary

    “Consider how this looks. The Senju proposes peace at the height of their power. The Uchiha, already losing, don’t have the resources to match the Senju. If the Senju provides us with food and armour, the Uchiha must become subordinate. Is that what you think of as peace, Senju? Over at the Uchiha compound, we call that subjugation by the most powerful.”

    “It seems that there is only one possible solution: the Senju must choose a symbol to subjugate itself to the Uchiha to balance out the scales. For that role, I volunteer myself.”

    The wise ones know: fires can warm and not burn; and rivers, if given strength and permission, will carve the land.

    (Or, the one in which Tobirama becomes Madara’s concubine, and peace is won and held through neither power nor love, but food, water, clothes, and medicine.)

    Complete.

    Summary

    It began the day she poisoned the daimyō, and then everything got out of hand.

    In a world full of people with god like powers and unnatural skills, no one would expect a former concubine to be the one attempting to pull the strings. Kamui would be the first to acknowledge she was in way over her head, but at least the man with the pretty red eyes seems to know what he's doing.

    (Spoiler Alert: He doesn’t.)

    Summary

    At the end of the 3rd Shinobi War, Konoha is bankrupted.
    When he's offered an alliance that may save his clan and village, Shikaku Nara would be a very poor shinobi if he refused, even if he's not really keen on a political marriage.
    At least his wife seems smart enough...
