Summary
It starts as salt in the air and song in his blood, and then a voice calling him. Naruto's not one to shy away from anything so he follows the voice because their mission is over and they are returning to Konoha tomorrow.
An island sits waiting, her people slumbering, waiting for anyone to free her people so she can protect them with a fierceness that was robbed from her.
In the morning Naruto is missing and Sasuke and Sakura have to wonder why they seem to be the only people who care. Why Kakashi is insistent they return to Konoha empty handed despite always telling them teamwork means never abandoning your team for the mission? Why there are so many damn secrets surrounding Naruto?

Summary
Kakashi doesn't know what to think, doesn't like how the stranger tracks his movements and looks oddly wistful when he whips out his book to deflect conversation.
He's not sure he trusts him either, regardless of the man's faint smiles and his warm fondness for the fresh, little Genin running about.
Something's off. And Kakashi is going to find out.

Summary
Inoichi’s decision to adopt the boy was a spur of the moment thing, but he stood by it, and he could not be prouder of both his children, even if they lived to give him grey hair.
Or, how a Yamanaka-trained Naruto went and cheerfully dismantled the last shreds of Sasuke’s self-image because conventional therapy obviously wasn’t working well enough, and then proved that even the best minds could be entirely dumb when it came to romance.

Summary
Shikamaru never really thought of Naruto, at least beyond the typical 'oh yeah, there's that guy.' At least until Naruto got up in his space and made that face and well, that bothered Shikamaru now didn't it? Relationship building (ish), some small angst, fluff, and rounding out in some solid, lovely smut.

Summary
‘Protect him,’ Kushina prays in the quiet of her own mind as she leaves; pleading silently to the old spirits from her childhood, to the things that the Uzumaki Elders used to whisper about in hushed tones.
‘Love him,’ Kushina begs of the things she only knows from instinct and half remembered stories, those things filled with the power of salt and sun and deep deep waters. Those things that live and thrive in the heart and soul of every Uzumaki who has ever breathed and battled and bled. 'Guide him, keep him safe for always. But love him most of all. My little prince of eddies and leaves.’
Left behind, left alone and cold where before there was only a soft sort of warmth and a steady kind of safety, Naruto wails.
