All the stories that want to be told but didn't make it into the main story: Welcome to Joyou Children Side fics! First up is Sakumo's POV of his encounter with Etsuko. You might want to read 'Joyous Children' first, though.

Kakashi was a weary ninja who'd had this dream (nightmare) too many times before. And until the pain of the kunai stabbed in his arm registered, he'd never even considered the possibility it was real this time. Time-travel? One-shot.

If Kakashi had been the one sent to stop Naruto from joining the war instead of Iruka. "Come back alive, Naruto. You have too much to live for to die on the battlefield before you've even fulfilled half your dreams." Because Kakashi truly believed Naruto was the one who would surpass even the Yondaime Hokage, and from the start it had never been possible to keep him out of the war.

Here's an alternate ending to 'In Their Eyes' where Naegi doesn't leave the village and stays with Minato!

After getting hit by a truck and dying, I go from being an espresso loving, snarky florist to being a reincarnated baby. And not just any baby. Nooo, Karma thought it would be funny to throw me into an anime where little kids become crazy sharp-pointy-weapon throwing ninjas! OC. Some language. Follows the storyline. BEING REWRITTEN!

Gravity defying silver hair. Mask. Aloof. Some call him Kakashi, some call him Dog, while others call him the Copy Ninja. To me, he was simply dad. OC Self-insert

Time Travel AU. Sakura has come back to do good deeds and fix some shit. Not posted in chronological order.

Redemption is never easy to find, but now that Orochimaru has picked a different path, he won't walk it alone. Part three of A Snake Among the Leaves.

COMPLETE. Orochimaru has debts to settle and plans to set in motion. Second chances are rare enough; he's hardly about to waste this one. Part two of A Snake Among the Leaves.

COMPLETE. Orochimaru gets one more chance. Just maybe, it will be enough to save him—and the entire world as well. Part one of A Snake Among the Leaves. JiraOro.

A SI/OC told from an outsider's perspective about Machiko Uchiha, twin sister of Mikoto Uchiha. FINAL EPILOGUE UP

The Fourth Shinobi War is finally over, Naruto's dying but Kurama refuses to let that happen. She's de-aged and thrown into the One Piece world and like everything else, she deals with it...until three brats come to her restaurant and try to do an eat-n-run. Hell no. FemNarutoxAce.

In which Konoha's White Fang and War Hawk have a friendly discussion of age-appropriate gifts and other child-rearing topics during the Second Shinobi War. "Are you out of your mind, Hatake?" Well, relatively friendly.

Dying sucks. Being reincarnated into the Naruto-verse? Don't even get me started. Self-insert OC story (AU Naruto-verse) (Dark themes) Rewritten

With the belief that reincarnation is a plausible thing to happen, I wasn't exactly surprised to find myself being reborn. However, surprise took place when I found myself being reborn as Nohara Rin out of all people. Perhaps fate had a strange sense of humour. But nevertheless; I am Rin and I'm definitely screwed. SIOC.

Left or right, forwards or back, there's always a choice. Obito chooses to return to Konoha, and the world rearranges itself from there. A series of non-chronological, interconnected shorts.

In which the Sage of Six Paths decides he doesn't like the ending, and Tobirama gets dragged along to fix things. The outcome is most definitely not what he expected. Slash.

What if after Zabuza and Haku died Sakura realized that she wasn't good enough? That her training is more important than romance and looks? What if this realization changed her attitude towards others? How will others react to her new change? (Eventually becomes AU) Pairing undecided (Harem for now) (Old version. New version "Shades of Pink" is out.)

After L dies, he is greeted by a being calling himself the Shinigami King. Offered a chance at a new life in a world deprived of justice, L finds himself in a world similar to feudal Japan filled with ninjas and warfare. With the new name of Naruto Uzumaki, how will one world's greatest detective deal with the barbaric system of another world?

The Butterfly Effect dictates that the smallest pebble dropped into the ocean would create the greatest of tidal waves. How much change could one new life make, if added to a world it was never meant to be in? Self-Insert, OC. -COMPLETE-

Tribute to Silver Queen's Dreaming of Sunshine. The best SI story ever written. A fanfiction of a fanfiction. They are POV's from different characters. Sakura, Iruka, and others.

I have the worst luck ever. First off, I die. Then I get reborn into the Naruto universe. Yay right? WRONG. Nobody ever said you get to be reborn into Konoha. Which makes finding out where I am in the story line that much harder. I don't know if I can change anything, or if the bloodbath is far behind me. One thing's official though. I'm screwed. SI/OC Warning

"No one just falls into another world. It just doesn't happen." Full summary inside. Self-Insert, OC. -COMPLETE-

Summary: Kakashi was diagnosed as sterile a long time ago, and would never have kids of his own. Team 7 awarded him with that honor, first by being themselves, than by sharing their own children.

The times Gai carried his teammates, and the time they carried him.
