Summary
They say the Uzumaki are blessed by Gods of the Sea. The waves are always calm for members of their Clan, the water does not seek to drown them. It parts for their ships as though they are holy figures. Uzumaki Naruto embarks on a journey across the ocean to Suna, where he will work for half a year. It is his first time leaving the oceanic nation of Uzushio, though he does not worry: for there has never been a ship to leave their ports that does not return in perfect shape, with crew intact. Of course, he’s heard stories of creatures that reside within the deep; monstrous beings or enchanting figures that seek to drown a passing sailor. But he’s never believed them. Why would he? The Uzumaki, after all, are loved by the sea.
(They forget, however, of what lurks within; for they love hungrily.)

Summary
Naruto has always loved two things: the ocean, and adrenaline. He broke a leg skiing down a black diamond trail before he’d even started learning how to ski. Some would call him reckless, but really he’s just seeking everything and anything he can from the life he’s been given. He doesn’t want to waste a single second. So, when given the opportunity to “swim with sharks”, he takes it. Sitting in a cage with a single tank of oxygen certainly can’t be a bad idea, can it? Definitely not. Except there’s more than just sharks in the water, and they are far more eager for blood.

Summary
Uzumaki Naruto is of the Sea Dweller kin, known for their mastery of the ocean. So loved by the sea, ships will pay to have one of their kind on board just to guarantee safe passage through dangerous waters. Running from the looming responsibilities of his birthright, Naruto boards a ship meant for the most dangerous waters of all - a place known among the Uzumaki as the realm of a monster, once a man, cursed nearly a thousand years ago. No ship has ever made it out, and no one has ever seen this cursed sea monster. None of his kin have ever entered that nefarious sea, so whether or not his life truly hangs in the balance remains to be seen...
(To Naruto, it sounds like the adventure of a lifetime.)
OR / while on a journey to explore as much of the world as he can before he has to return to Uzushio, Naruto falls in love with a creature meant to be unlovable.

Summary
In the span of a month, Hatake Kakashi's world has completely fallen apart. He’s never been good at dealing with his problems, so he escapes to the old beach house he visited every summer as a child. The isolation only exacerbates his mental strain, sending him spiraling into a depression he feels unable to pull himself out of. He needs something, anything, to pull him from his own mind before he follows his father. A distraction comes in the shape of a monster from the sea, washed ashore as a bloody mess and woefully, utterly, permanently alone.
(In which two desperate, lost souls from two different worlds collide during the most vulnerable points of their lives.)
