Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.

Karin found me having a staring contest with a disembodied eye. Orphaned eye? No, that didn't sound right. I wasn't dead. Thankfully, instead of asking questions, she just gave me a quick one-armed hug, then left me in my turbulent mood.
The foremost thought in my mind was a silly one. Do I...
That same day, after having fun— training with my new team, I returned home to find out we had visitors.
Three chakra bundles inside the apartment. One was Karin's already familiar one, with its swirling, sometimes spiking movements. The other two, I didn't know. By the size alone, I was...
"It won't work," Ino said, looking at the hastily drawn plan on the ground.
"Why?" Tenten asked.
She looked over the drawing again. It made sense to her. Choji and Tenten would distract Hinata. Choji, with his family jutsu, Tenten, with her weapons. That would give Ino time to focus on her...
Mostly is that Tenten doesn't know the other side of the story.
She knows Neji doesn't like Hinata, but during the "exam" him going after Hinata's team for the scroll isn't something really out of the norm. Petty, yes, because Neji is a year old and has more training, but not really wrong, given...
Finally, she was getting missions again. Things had been strange ever since the attack. Sometimes in a week, Tenten completed one or two D-rank missions, others she had nothing to do.
Rock Lee’s injuries still prevented him from working. Neji was dealing with clan issues, and Gai sensei hadn’t...
That night, ears burning, I went to bed with Ino. It was like a walk of shame, with every step under the scrutiny of the Yamanaka Matriarch.
Despite the late hour, we didn't go to sleep immediately.
And no, we didn't make out either.
I don't even know if Ino saw us in a relationship or what...
After a few more minutes of small talk, I left Kakashi-sensei and Yamato. I liked both and enjoyed talking with them, but my questions were already answered, and I wasn't here to catch up. It was girls' night out. They were boys and not allowed.
I crossed paths with other jonin, nodded. Some...
I showered and slipped into the same white kimono I'd worn to the Uchiha dinner. I was going out with friends. I wanted to look nice, feel pretty.
Karin didn't take long to return. The redhead's grin was even sillier than mine. I shook my head. There was no need to ask if Sakura-chan accepted...
Shisui got to his feet, bowed deeply at the waist.
"I never thanked you for ousting Danzo. You probably saved my life."
My scowl deepened. They were manipulating me, weren't they? Trying to guilt-trip me.
I thought about coming clean, telling him everything. There were things I could say that...
I waited for Ino outside her family shop.
She wasn't late today. She stepped out, her hand on her neck, holding the black stone I used for the weight seals. She looked at me, rolled her eyes. Stuck her tongue at me.
I grinned wider.
She approached, and her eyes turned from playful to sad...
Telling Ino my secrets was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I included in that list facing the lab, suffering a spot of torture, and all the loneliness living in this world. I was exhausted but also happy. I don't think she fully believed in my story, but I was glad she didn't think I...
Growing up, Ino always knew what she wanted. She was smart, having graduated at the top of her class along with Sasuke and Shino. She was pretty, had good friends, and was her clan's heiress.
Her future goals were simple: Find a handsome husband — Sasuke, preferably — to marry, learn her clan's...
I led Ino toward the inconspicuous bar-slash-restaurant entrance. We crossed the administrative district into the commercial area and landed in front of an out-of-the-way alley. I knocked at a regular-looking door. A young woman, elegant and serious, opened it.
Ino looked around, at the lack of...
"You're not her," Hiashi said again, spittle flying from his mouth.
Hearing that hurt in a way I never thought it would. I lowered my head. "But what if I am?" I whispered.
What if I was, indeed? There were a lot of things I didn't know. There was a gap in my memories from when Hinata was...
