During the mission to Wave, Sakura realises that she has to become a better ninja for her teammates' sake and be someone they can depend on. She vows to take her training seriously, and receives help from the most unlikely of sources; Genma Shiranui. The two form an unlikely bond and stick together through thick and thin, while Sakura improves and meets other people along the way.

Sakura thought life would be perfect now that she is married to Sasuke, but she soon realizes that the idealized Sasuke she always dreamed of is not real. Lee suddenly enters into her life and fills the holes Sasuke leaves with his long, unexplained disappearances, but confusing feelings start to develop on both sides. Slow burn.

Being a ninja isn't as cool as one might think. It generally involves a lot of horrified screaming and praying for your life to a bunch of gods you've never even heard of. I'm so not ready to be the protagonist of a shonen manga - especially not one that revolves around me getting hurt. A lot. [SI OC replaces Naruto. AU. T for swears & standard ninja violence.]

In my first life, a man named Gandhi said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." [SI, Tobirama is hokage, Minato era, more militaristic Konoha]

Fate's strings are really more of a garotte at this point. - In which an SI OC ends up as Uchiha Sasuke's twin sister, and commences planning because this is either a seriously entertaining coma or her unfortunately permanent new reality.

Daisuke got free advertising. Mimi got a new recipe. And their kids got to be disgusted in front of a live audience. Seemed legit. Vignette.

"...Thus, when I awoke outside on a warm, muggy day, blades of grass pricking my cheek, with no memory at all of how I could have gotten there, I calmly sat up and observed my surroundings." Semi-self insert garbage. An attempt at realism, I guess? Disclaimer for the whole story: I own nothing.

The rest of the rookie genin were all alive, as were their sensei. He forgot that Sakura's social sphere wasn't as closed as her teammates.

The first thing Ami does is duck into an alleyway and grab the wall for dear life, her entire body threatening to collapse without the support. Being dead and apparently reincarnating into a little girl did that to the best of men, damn it all, and Hashirama was perfectly validated in his shock!

When Cana and Lucy are left behind when the Tenrou team disappears, they and the rest of the guild are plunged into grief and uncertainty. But as the political situation in Ishgar grows more complicated, Fairy Tail will have to pull together- with or without their core members- if they hope to survive. Luckily, they do seem to have some star power left... Various ships.

Life was simple for Lewis. Sure, most of the food he ate had to be stolen with the help of his Pokemon, and he never really got the chance to put down roots for too long - mostly because of this first fact. But when he meets a girl being chased by a tastelessly sinister group of crooks, and the Pokemon Storage System goes offline, his life becomes much more complicated in a flash.

The jinchuriki share more than a curse; they share their minds. As he grows up, Naruto begins to realize that not everyone has voices in their head.

A young girl had fallen underground... what awaits her now? Yoai warning! Don't like, don't read! XD

Naruto grows up scorned and ignored but not entirely alone, and is consequently determined to make friends with the eight other occupants of the mindscape he shares. The rest of the Jinchuriki are not quite as enthusiastic about this plan. Naruto, however, is very good at talking people into submission. And with access to the back of their minds, there's really no escape.

Handle with care – because whoever thought a 23 year old lawyer would be all set for reincarnation was clearly dead wrong. After all, there's something explosive about the presence of someone tenacious enough to escape death. [Male OC / SI] [Kiri, 3rd Shinobi War]

Stranded in the middle of nowhere in Fire Country, a Mary Sue tries to do what all Mary Sues do. But she should have thought about what her actions look like from a Naruto-verse perspective… Oneshot

Penny is panicking. Where is she? How did she get here? How is she going to get home and whose backside will she kick first when she does? A woman lost in Middle Earth wearing only her pyjamas. This can't be good... (STRONG language; NOT a M-Sue)
