    Summary

    Looking back Sakura would later joke about how cringy she must’ve sounded, but to Sakura, making that declaration with all her heart, she knew she wouldn’t have done it any other way. And Sasuke, to his credit, didn’t laugh, didn’t do much but point and ask what they’d do about the blond idiot.

    Or, Sakura realizes that the village never deserved team 7 and takes matters into her own hands

    Summary

    One minute, Shikamaru's life was a grayscale and the next, he was living in an explosion of color.

    The sky is bluer and the shape of the clouds is more prominent, the smell of the grass intensifies and the air sings instead of simply beating against his body. Suddenly people have faces and among them all one undoubtedly shines above the rest.

    Namikaze Naruto is a sun on earth. His chakra spreads throughout his body and illuminates the darkest corners in Shikamaru's soul.

    Summary

    Naruto has been acting different lately. Shikamaru notices the subtleness, the cover ups, the changes in expressions. Years of friendship they had built up, to the point Shikamaru had developed a special fondness towards Naruto. But now, it feels like they were slowly drifting apart and he was going crazy trying to figure out what was going on.

    He hates that— he hates it so much.

    What was Naruto hiding?

    Summary

    “I’m not trying to be funny,” Naruto says with a chuckle. “I am not trying to be anything or anyone. I trapped no one. I did nothing. I am not guilty of whatever it is you think I have done.”

    I sigh deeply, almost dramatically. I’m not trying to draw Naruto’s attention. I’m trying to draw Sasuke’s. I’ve more or less deduced this Naruto’s stance on the matter and trying to appeal to him with emotion or logic won’t work. Sasuke would have gone for a balanced approach. Which would be even worse.

    “You,” I say, pointing at Naruto. “You’re a fake. Where’s the real Naruto?”

    I’m mostly unconvinced of the statement I’ve just spewed.

    No. What I’ve just said is pure nonsense.

    “Now, now, Shikamaru-san,” Naruto says, a close-lipped smile on his face. He finally turns his head towards me, his eyes coloured with exaggerated warmth. “Your accusation really hurts me, you know? I am the real Naruto. More real than you’d ever dare to see.”

    A day before the most important moment of Naruto's life, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Ino and Sakura enter his mind.

    Or a whack-ass story about uncomfortable truths, past trauma, healing and growth, friendship and love.
