Summary
Even as a child, Tobirama knew pain. Knew how to cause it. Knew how to hide it. Knew that the only good kind of hurt was the one that echoed into your soul from another. That pain was a comfort in a world bereft of almost any. In a world that hurt too much.
But the pain of losing that comfort before he even got to really have it? Well, that was a new kind of pain entirely.

Summary
“You know,” Denki says, out of nowhere, face down on the floor. “I’ve never seen a pussy. Like a real one.”
Eijirou hums “Me either,” without looking up from his worksheet, like it’s the most mundane, everyday conversation they’ve ever had.
Katsuki huffs, sets his textbook aside. “You wanna see mine?”

Summary
No Name Sakura is now the apprentice of the famous (or infamous) Hatake Kakashi, but the road towards becoming a full fledged ninja is not without bumps. There are new challenges ahead, old problems rearing their ugly heads and a (probably) insane sensei to deal with.
Kakashi, for his part, is quickly realising that taking on an apprentice comes with a whole slew of issues he was not prepared for. How are you supposed to deal with the little terror-puppy that is Sakura and her chakra control? And why can’t the Hatake-clan just leave him alone?

Summary
“Shinobi die,” the Matchmaker tells her bluntly. “Life as a shinobi is hard, ugly and beyond all thankless. It will be much easier for you to bring honour to your family through a suitable marriage than as a kunoichi.”
“I know,” Sakura says, though she truthfully thinks that she has very little idea of what life as a shinobi is actually like. She raises her chin, meeting the older woman’s gaze. “I want to become a kunoichi.”
Sakura is raised by her sickly mother and her late father's clan. The clan wants her to become a lady and marry a noble, but her mother wants her to become a shinobi. In the end, Sakura will have to make a choice. But even as she makes her choice there is no guarantee that she will succeed.
This is the story of how Sakura becomes a shinobi.
AKA, the one where Kakashi has been a soldier since he was five years old and has no idea what to do with a little lady-in-training.
