Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert. No pairings.

The Elemental Nations are at war, and Shikaku Nara has fallen on the front lines. As the new head of the Nara clan, Shikamaru is determined that he will not lose his sister in the same way. When Shikako is forced to choose between her clan and her freedom, nothing will ever be the same.

Every member of the main races have a Soulmate, and ways to identify their One. Bilbo's always been different (the harsh Marks on his wrist demand so). That didn't change when the Fell Winter came, or when he received his Calling. Kili/Bilbo. Rated T just in case

Take one dead, thirty year old career soldier, stick in the body of a child during the Second Great Shinobi War. Add a mini-Namikaze Minato, ninjas, chakra, tailed beasts, and shake well. Is it any wonder she thought she was insane? Second/Third Great Ninja War era SI AU.
