Summary
Mitsuru Tenji’s life used to be measured in millimeters and diopters. As an optician, he lived by a simple code: everyone deserves "Ten-ni"—the perfect 2.0 vision. He never expected to be practicing his trade in the middle of a pre-industrial wasteland where the "Eye of Insight" is a bloodline trait and "vision" is usually something people die for.
Dropped into a remote, neutral trade town far from the active skirmishes of the Uchiha and Senju clans, Mitsuru doesn't try to be a hero. He just tries to be useful. He builds a life in the shadows of the conflict, grinding lenses from quartz and teaching the local blacksmiths about the geometry of light. To the villagers, he is a wizard of glass; to Mitsuru, he’s just a man trying to fix the world's most preventable headaches.
But word of the "Man Who Sees the Unseen" spreads fast in an era defined by Doujutsu.
TL;DR What would happen if an optician and an optometrist from our modern world is dropped into the Warring States Period?

Summary
“It’s like Avatar then?”
“Yes.”
There's a pause.
“But we aren’t blue?”
“No, no, not the blue one, the one with the four nations that lived in harmony until the fire nation attacked.”
Another pause.
“Okay, so then why couldn’t we have gotten earthbending powers instead?”

Summary
Honestly, I just want to make it past thirty this go-around. Contending with Uchiha Clan Nonsense, an Orochimaru still convinced he needs my baby cousin's eyes, and the knowledge of precisely how bad all this can go, that's looking more and more out of reach by the day.

Summary
At the end of the 3rd Shinobi War, Konoha is bankrupted.
When he's offered an alliance that may save his clan and village, Shikaku Nara would be a very poor shinobi if he refused, even if he's not really keen on a political marriage.
At least his wife seems smart enough...AO3 exclusive scenes in chapter 3.

Reincarnating as a crow was nicer than you would think... until the Trouble Twins found the summoning scroll for the Karasu. Then they grew on her, and she had to save their lives. How annoying. They better gave her lots of almonds or she would elope with the ninken summoner!

Summary
When I reincarnated in the world of Naruto, I was lucky enough to live in Konoha but not lucky enough to get all the superpowers you could hope for. I failed my jounin-sensei test and ended up in the Genin Corps.
Bye-bye jounin rank! However, considering it also meant avoiding the battlefield, that was fine with me. Now I just had to get a position allowing me to change History...Series

Summary
Rin didn't like her life, but she decided to live for the sake of her friends. Yet, when the reaper finally comes for her neck—well, it was more like a stab to the stomach— and she drowns to death, all she could hope for was a peaceful afterlife.
So why did she wake up in the book of a BL novel she was reading?
And why was she Wei Wuxian's older sister?
