Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 26

[Arata Takeshi - POV.]

Two months had passed since the Nine Tails incident. The scars of that terrible night were still visible throughout Konoha, with many parts of the village still in ruins. My house, thankfully, hadn’t suffered as much damage as other houses arou...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 25

[Arata Takeshi - POV]

I watched as everything I had ever known was destroyed.

I watched as people I knew, as innocents, were killed.

I watched everything I cared about was taken from me, and I couldn’t do a thing to stop it. <...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 24

[Two weeks later.]

[Third Person POV.]

It had been two weeks since the Nine Tails' attack, and the village of Konoha was still largely in ruins. The once bustling streets were now filled with debris and corpses, remnant...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 23

[Arata Yoshiro - POV.] 

This was not how I expected tonight to go. I thought I'd be sleeping beside my wife, maybe reading a book or two, but not this. Taking a deep breath, I moved through the village, helping to evacua...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 22

Screams.

Blood.

Panic.

These were the only things running through the heart of Konoha.

The Nine Tails, a massive beast of pure destruction, rampaged through Konoha without stopping. Buildings crumbled under the...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 21

I sat there for a moment, paralyzed, my mind racing, trying to find something I could do to help the situation.

I reached out with my senses again, trying to get a clearer picture. The chakra signatures near Kushina were fluctuating wildly, a clear sign of a fierce battle. Min...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 20

It had been two months since I first felt that strange chakra signature at the edges of the village. Two months since I reported it to Minato and Fugaku. During that time, the village had been on high alert, yet the signature had vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving no trace.

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 19

Today, like any other day, after my training with Itachi, I came to the forest alone to train with Teresa, the not-so-imaginary friend inside my head.

Right now, I stood in a clearing deep within the forest, away from prying eyes. The sun filtered through the dense trees, cast...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 18

The day Sasuke was born, July 23, was a momentous one for the Uchiha clan. A welcoming party had been arranged for those close to the main family, meaning a group of ten, maybe twelve, people were invited to attend. I had been pleased to know the third child of the Uchiha main family had been nam...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 17

The following night, after the pregnancy announcement, I found myself drifting off to sleep.

However, unlike most nights, this night I woke up suddenly, my heart pounding in my chest. The room was dark, the only light coming from the moon filtering through the window of my roo...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 16

It had been two months since the night of the kidnapping, a night that had left deep impressions on everyone involved, including me. The Uchiha compound had returned to its usual calm, though now security within the compound was amped up, which was understandable considering someone had infiltrat...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 15

 [Takeshi's POV.]

I blinked awake, the sterile smell of antiseptic filling my nose. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, white and glaring under the fluorescent lights. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my body, reminding me of the ordeal I had just been ...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 14

"My, my... didn't you hear what I just said? You're releasing far too much Yoki, Takeshi," Teresa's voice echoed in my mind, cutting through the haze of power and confusion. "You need to stop the flow of energy before it's too late."

I glanced around, expect...

Author Note

I updated the chapter numbers for Naruto: Faint Smile.

Meaning now we start from chapter 1, not 0. So now the chapters here and in Webnovel match. My OCD was kicking in full effect and I couldn't wait anymore to fix it.

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 13

When I opened my eyes, I found myself tied to a tree in the middle of a forest. My arms were bound tightly behind me, and my legs secured to the trunk. I struggled against the ropes, but they held firm. The forest was eerily silent, save for the distant rustle of leaves.

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 12

The leaves of Konoha rustled a gentle tone outside the Uchiha compound, their shadows playing on the tatami floor as I knelt by the shoji, lost in thought. Three months had passed since Mito's first cry cut through the silence of this world, a world that should have known anoth...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 11

By now, six hours had passed since we arrived at the hospital, and around four hours ago, Fugaku had been taken to Mikoto's room to be there for her and the baby, leaving Itachi and me alone in the waiting room.

I could feel Lady Mikoto’s chakra fluctuating every...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 10

I sighed. I suppose there’s no point in trying to find the logic in something that hasn’t even happened yet. Maybe after Naruto is born, they use a jutsu to make everyone dumber, and everything just makes sense. I don’t know, something like Kinjutsu: Extra Chromosome, or someth...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 9

A few months had passed since the end of the Third Shinobi War, and life in Konoha had slowly begun to return to a semblance of normalcy. The scars of the war were still very visible, but things were getting better; everyone was determined to rebuild and move forward. 2024-07-15 01:40:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 8

I sat perched on the edge of a rooftop, my legs dangling over the side as I watched the shinobi of Konoha return from the battlefield. The Third Shinobi War had finally come to an end, and those who had fought and survived were making their way home. The streets below buzzed with act...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 7

"That's a good goal," I replied, lifting my sword again. "Let's make sure we survive long enough to see it happen."

Itachi nodded, his grip tightening around his weapon. "We will," he vowed, readying himself for the next round of our training session.

Howev...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 6

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the Uchiha compound. Itachi and I stood in the training yard, our breaths coming in steady puffs of exertion. It had been two years since our first meeting, and much had changed in that time.

"Focus, Takeshi," Itachi's c...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 5

The Uchiha compound was as I imagined, a network of traditional houses and winding pathways. It was pretty bland to be honest, but exactly what one would expect from one of the big clans.

 My mother and I had been invited for tea by Mikoto Uchiha, a gesture of warmth and ...

Naruto: Faint Smile - CH 4

It had been roughly three years since I’d been reincarnated. By now, I could naturally talk and walk without a problem.

I had also learned how to read, because it was that or going crazy, seeing the amount of things my new parents would allow me to partake in was heavily limite...

ONE PIECE: THE RED LION - CH 5

I yawned awake, stretching as I looked outside the window in my room, haft expecting yesterdays' events to be nothing but a dream. But they weren’t, I was still here, in this… strange world.

Thrilled for what awaited me today, I threw off the covers and leapt out of bed. However,...

ONE PIECE: THE RED LION - CH 4

I still didn’t know what to make of my situation.

I had died…

And well, like most of my favorite animes, I had been given a second chance at life, in a whole new universe.

However, unlike said animes, I had been given said second chance in a world...

ONE PIECE: THE RED LION - CH 3

As I walked to the sparring zone, I eyed Sergeant Whiskers, finding myself… excited at the idea of fighting him.

Excited and confused, excited at the idea of… fighting, and confused at the idea of me being excited for a fight. Maybe this new body of man belonged to a race ...

ONE PIECE: THE RED LION - CH 2

The leaves rustled softly beneath my feet as I walked behind the two furries I had met a few moments ago, a part of me was concerned about where they were taking me, the internet had made me wary of furries, but hey, they looked friendly enough.

 But here I was, tailing a pair o...
