    THIS. This story started it all for me, made me realize the kind of NaruHina stories I wanted to write.

    Summary

    Seven years after the Kyuubi attack, the Sandaime Hokage’s sudden assassination threw Konoha into chaos, and at the end of the night, two factions arose in its shinobi forces: those who stayed and those who ran. Of those who ran, many were shinobi that the new administration denounced as traitors, deserters, and murderers.

    Two years later, a ragged group of children who vanished the night of the Sandaime's assassination, who would have been raised in relative peace but instead grew up running, were recruited to fight a war for the homes they barely remembered.

    In which Kakashi is forced to the forefront of yet another war, Itachi is given to maudlin internal monologues, Shisui alternates between coping and dissociating, and Zabuza wonders why he couldn’t have left the honor to the fucking samurai.

    Sigh. Writing Goals.

    I bow down to this master.

    Intelligent, clever, and witty. Just so well-written!
    Incredibly well-thought-out plot. Pacing just the right touch, judiciously applied. Snappy dialog overflowing with humor. Breathless action scenes. Lyrical and haunting emotional scenes. Immersive world-building. Characterization the best I have ever read. Full stop.
    Zabuza Fucking Momochi!!!

    Summary

    Four years after the Sandaime's assassination, Konoha's renegade shinobi are still far from home. Still reeling from the loss of one of their top shinobi and the toll of an especially bloody war, the shinobi of Hanabi-ha gear up to take back Konohagakure from its usurper.

    In the midst of it all, Temari, Neji, and Haku clash with the crueler facets of the Kiri societal hierarchy; Sai and Gaara wrestle with the concept of morality as Hinata spirals into her own mind; and Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke struggle to come together as a team while battling their own demons.

    Kakashi knows he's walking on a knife's edge, where the slightest misstep will lead to disaster for thousands of shinobi. Fortunately, he's got a bloodthirsty Kiri defector and a questionably stable Uchiha prodigy on his side. How could this possibly end badly?
