    Summary

    When Sakura realizes that playing little girl and flunking combat training had probably been a gross miscalculation on her part, she’s stranded in a rickety home in a run down country with an unconscious sensei. Sakura isn’t sure if she can make up for that mistake before it kills her or her team but she sure as hell will give it her best shot.

    She really couldn’t have known that falling victim to Hatake Kakashi’s unique attempts at teaching would open up another can of worms entirely.

    Summary

    Kakashi receives an order to return to ANBU on a familiar S-rank assignment: serving as a guard for a jinchuuriki. One he had thought to be kept somewhere far from the village, but had instead been hidden on the Hokage’s estate the entire time since the Kyuubi attack.

    All Iruka wants is to continue burying himself in his fuuinjutsu research in peace, but his odds are looking slim after a new guard takes a little too much interest in him.

    Summary

    It's not Sakura's fault she's a bit spacey and distracted. You would be too if the dead refused to leave you alone.

    Summary

    "The fall of Uzushio collapsed our economy, our protections. You might think I'm being rosy, but they really cared about us. And they knew how to party. You know they had a seal that could swap body parts? Wildest night of my life,” the boatman’s eyes go distant for a long moment, “...but you kids are too young to hear about that.

    “Anyway,” he continues, “our economy’s been a shambles since; maybe gets going for a year or two before it collapses again. No security of stability, so assholes like Gato think they can waltz in here and take charge. Boy, he'd be singing a different tune if the Uzumaki were still around."

    Sakura’s eyes widen a bit at that, and even Sasuke looks up. Naruto opens his mouth to say something, but Kakashi puts a firm hand on his shoulder.

    “What an… illuminating piece of history,” says Kakashi, “Thank you for sharing.”

    -----

    (Kiri may have won the battle, but not the war. The island of Uzushio might not be as dead as previously believed.

    All Kakashi knows now is that he really should have refused that mission to Wave.

    An island lives, people change, foxes laugh, and Team Seven goes on a wild journey!)
