Summary
To graduate the Academy, prospective shinobi must pass the Genin Exams.
For most, like Uchiha Sasuke, the son of the most important shinobi in the village, it’ll be easy. For him, it’s not a question of passing, but how many colors he can fly with.
For others, like orphan Naruto, its either pass or get some job moving boxes around for a general store.
For Civilian-born Haruno Sakura, it’s life or death in the most literal sense of the phrase.
When the three’s paths converge before a fisherman that might be a nukenin and a river full of corpses, unlikely alliances are struck, uprisings set fire to the streets, and when even family fails, the only thing left might be the power of friendship.

How long ago had the exam started? A minute? Two?
She was going to die.
It struck her harder this time, somehow. The thought had been occurring to her all morning. For her entire life since that first day she entered the Academy, but it had always been a nagging feeling. A small weight, like a particularly heavy scarf.
The scarf had cinched into a noose. She still couldn’t breathe. She was going to die.

Summary
Nakairi (中入り): when the performers step behind the curtain or set between the first and second half of a play to changes masks or costumes. Similar to an interval, intermission, or an entre'act.
"The interval is a rest for the spectators; not for the action," - Jean-François Marmontel, 1763
Just because most of Team 7 is gone, off striving for newer and greater heights, that doesn't mean the world stops for Haruno Sakura. In a world where she doesn't apprentice to the Godaime Hokage (can't, won't, what difference does it make when the result is the same?) her desperation leads her to a different solution: keeping Team 7 alive, anyway she can. Whether Kakashi-sensei wants her to or not.
Also known as: Sakura's World Tour.

TW: Abuse
“I’m not asking you to make Damian give up Robin, I’m only telling you that you need to stop raising child soldiers! Is that all we are to you?! Pawns in your screwed up fucking mission? You don’t deserve to call yourself a father, in fact, you don’t even deserve to call yourself human you-!”
Bruce’s fist makes a resounding crack! as it hits Dick’s face. He topples to the ground, and is left to stare up at Bruce while the man towers over him.
“You have no right to have any say in how I parent my sons. Or have you forgotten that you’re not even one of them?”

Summary
If this record is a confession, let it be a complete one: the human-thinking-machine Rocky was gifted has everything on it. With the aid of the device Rocky had made back aboard the Mary that translates light on Grace’s human-visual displays to texture on Rocky’s Eridian-sonar display, accessing all of humanity’s combined wisdom is as easy as making a database query.
Rocky consumes approximately 1,600 Earth-hours of human pornography before the ship’s engines cease to function, leaving it dead and stranded in space. Again.
