Summary
Part 2 of the Pack AU. Follows Kakashi and his Team 7 through their genin days. Parts of it won't make as much sense without reading Part of the Pack. If it’s been a while since you read Part of the Pack, there's a quick recap inside. The Misadventures of Tenzou's Sprouts (TMoTS) is not required to understand this story, but there will be some minor references to the characters from TMoTS.

Summary
The name kind of says it all. It's a series of one shots focusing on how different character's ovens ended up on fire and how they handled the situation. Got a bit of angst, an adoption AU, some found family, and lots of thoughts on the struggles of being a young adult on your own for the first time.

Rumor had it everywhere the Mizukage went, he left a trail of bridges, buildings, and pretty blue flowers.

Summary
As a member of Root, he'd had a purpose and every minute of his life was lived in service to that purpose. When Tenzou lowered his sword, refusing to cut down Kakashi for the second time, he knew his life was forfeit. Danzou has no use for weapons that won't strike. Tenzou fully expected to die when he reported his failure. It was a close call.
Life outside of Root isn't something Tenzou ever imagined. There's too many decision to make and he feels like he's drifting without Root's mission to ground him. Uncertainty isn't pleasant and this situation isn't Tenzou's fault, so he turns to the one who put him in it.
For TenDaysOfTenzo2020, Day 5 (Kakashi)

The Traveler (or how Tenzou finds his way back to himself after the 4th Great Shinobi War) by SparrowStrike

Summary
Tenzou came back from the 4th war injured in more ways than one. He’d been a POW for months. He’d been experimented on for the second time in his life. He’d been used to build an army, had his very essence ripped out of his body, and then been cast aside like an empty husk.
In the peace that follows, he leaves the village to figure out who he is now and what he wants in this life. He's known by different names as he travels the world, rebuilds his connection to his mokuton, and learns to forgive himself.

Summary
Neither of them consider themselves a real Senju. They end up family all the same.

Summary
Takes place in the same AU as Part of the Pack, around chapter 29, but can be read as a stand alone (some spoilers for Part of the Pack). Not necessary to read before the Strength of the Pack, but characters may make cameo's and the backstory here is the backstory Sai will have in the rest of the Pack AU.
This story follows the former members of Root as they adjust to a new Commander and life without Danzou. Root training leaves lasting scars, but the people strong enough to survive the training are strong enough to overcome it. Series of mostly one-shots, mostly slice of life. Focuses mainly on the younger Root members and their mentors.

Summary
At 19, Itachi learns he's dying. At best he has 2 years to live. All the blood he's spilled and secrets he's kept in the name of preserving peace will mean nothing in 2 years. All the monsters he's fought, warned, and blackmailed into the shadows will be free.
Itachi knows the truth of the Uchiha Massacre will die with him. Will Danzou stay in the shadows, up holding his end of the deal with Itachi? Or, without the threat of political assassination from the disgraced Uchiha, will Danzou maneuver the village into war?
Sasuke has left the village in search of power, but will he be strong enough to protect himself before Itachi dies? Itachi knows, when the youngest Uchiha awakens his mangekyou sharingan, he'll have a target on his back.
At 19, Itachi starts to wonder if the plans he made at 13 years old might not be the best.
(I recently binge watched the Blacklist and the idea of a high ranking criminal using his network of morally questionable allies to bring down the worst of the worst kind of stuck with me. So here's Itachi, trying to give the world a fighting chance at peace and make something of his last 2 years).

Summary
Legend has it the Hatake Clan is an off shoot of the Inuzuka Clan. It's where they get their sharp teeth, affinity for ninken, and tendency to casually adopt every other person they meet.
When Kakashi realizes Naruto's assigned caretakers aren't even sort of doing their job, the young anbu decides to do a bit of long term babysitting (and possibly commit treason). What follows is the story of Uzumaki-Hatake Naruto and his unconventional family.
This is primarily a slice of life piece and heavy on both fluff and angst. It covers a lot of the canon events and has cannon typical violence/darker themes. It can be read as a stand alone, but is the first work planned in this AU.
