Comedy one shot : the reader is hanging out with team 8 when she spots a bug in the room. She casually kills it and thinks nothing of it until she sees the betrayal in shino’s eyes. Kiba and hinata have to calm shino down, while the reader apologizes profusely lol

Nonnie!! This was such a fun scenario to write, thank you so much for requesting 💖 I tweaked it a bit but I still hope you like it!

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿︵

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Today was a peaceful day in the village, with everyone enjoying their free time however they saw fit. Some went out to eat, others spent time with their sweethearts and you, well you choose to spend this rare day off of yours with some of your closest friends: Hinata, Shino and Kiba themselves. Everything felt right in the world once again.

Hinata was in the middle of telling you a story about something Ino told her recently, being very animated while she recalled every detail the blonde mentioned, not wanting to change the story in any shape or form. You watched her with a smile on your face, still not believing how different she was now from a few years ago when she still stuttered around you despite knowing each other since your Academy days. Her progress was remarkable.

“Hey, Y/N.” Kiba’s voiced reached your ears as he plopped down beside you on the small deck, scratching Akamaru’s head who slept soundly on your lap before playfully pushing your shoulder with his. This was his backyard after all. “I’m glad you finally decided to spend some time with us. We are way more fun than your boring team.”

Hinata let out a soft giggle, a part of her agreeing to his words as Kiba’s grin only grew, clearly fueled by her reaction. Amused, you only rolled your eyes at his antics while giving Akamaru’s head another pat. “Keep saying things like that and I’m never going to hang out with you guys again.”

The girl let out a gasp at your words, looking at you with her big lavender eyes in disbelief. Kiba, who was sitting on your other side, only narrowed his own. “Oi, oi – you can’t do that! How long have we known each other for, huh? You’re practically part of team 8 – “

“Hey, where’s Shino?” you wondered out loud, purposely ignoring the man and turning to Hinata with a big smile. “Is he not here yet?”

She immediately returned the gesture before starting to swing her legs back and forth, definitely tunning out Kiba and his loud complaining. You knew exactly what buttons to push to get that reaction out of the brown-haired male. “He said he still has some things to take care of and will join us after.”

You nodded at that before leaning back on your arms and looking up at the clear sky, basking in the warm summer air. It was such a beautiful day, you couldn’t help but close your eyes and just relax, needing the rest as much as anybody else.

But, of course the peace didn’t last long. While you managed to ignore Kiba’s loud voice, something flying close to your face managed to disturb both you and Akamaru, the annoying sound making the former growl in warning.

You waited and waited, praying the annoying bug will fly away on its own but when it took refuge on your arm, that’s when you saw your chance to act. Without even opening your eyes, your hand came down with a loud smack and squashed the nuisance, bringing peace once again to you and your furry friend.

Your eyes only opened when the sound of a door sliding open rather violently made you almost jump out of your skin, snapping in the direction of the intruder. The intruder who…was no other than Shino looking so horrified, like you just murdered one of his kids in cold blood. Wait, technically you did.

“Shino – “ you started but said man wasn’t having it, closing the door and storming off faster than you’ve ever seen anyone act before. Both Hinata and Kiba stood up, following you after his teammate while shouting various words at his back.

“Shino wait!” you pleaded, picking up speed. “I’m so sorry! I really wasn’t thinking straight!”

Hinata, from next to you agreed. “S-Shino, you know Y/N would never do something like that on purpose! It was just an accident.” She didn’t yell but her calming voice resonated through the street, most likely reaching Shino as he disappeared behind a corner with you two close on his tail. The only one who wasn’t running was Kiba who, suddenly stopped without a word, getting left behind.

“Hey, Shino!” you could hear his booming voice even as his form got smaller and smaller, his all too familiar smirk still recognizable to you. No, he wouldn’t –

“She totally did it on purpose!”

✨ Spooky Recs✨

I read a lot of fanfictions... More than I am proud of. I thought I should recommend as I go before I lose sight of their existence among the sea of my favorites.

Since past few days I have been craving for some creepy, unnerving fanfics that will keep me restless and awake at night. I remembered my favorites and wanted to read more of the kind so I looked up, patiently going through each story that sounded compelling. I also revisited old stories for nostalgia's sake.

Of course, rare as they are, in Naruto fandom no less, it's even harder to find a horror and mystery fic that is well written, not dropped under 2 chapters, and really keeps your attention.

🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

Genre: Horror, Mystery, Comedy

I've rated 4 aspects of the work -

Writing – I don't judge writing based solely on the grammar and vocabulary. I also consider how the author expands upon a subject, if they are consistent with the facts, if they are able to keep the attention of the readers regardless of their creative writing skills.

Characters – If the characters are well-developed, in their given character, if OCs have any real significance to the story.

Plot – How gripping is the storyline, if the story sticks to its original plot, the structure of the story, plot holes.

Flow – Mother-of-slow-burn, slow-but-steady, steady, fast, I-am-speed

When the flowers cry : TCOOKIES777 || M || AO3/FFN || SasuSaku || Goth Horror || Post-Canon, set during Blank Period || Ongoing

When one of the greatest medical-nin in the world goes missing in what should have been a simple delivery to the Land of Spring’s Hidden Snow Village, the rest of Team 7 must reunite to find her. But even the most powerful team of shinobi will find themselves challenged in a battle against the supernatural. With Sasuke's return, vengeful ghosts of the past will test him and his love.

My thoughts : One of the best stories I've read in a while, and top tier SS stories. I read this in one sitting. I never listen to music while reading, preferring silence, but for this one, I suggest you do as the author says. Also, keep some tissues and food with you. This story is major in mystery and minor in horror but otherwise full of SS fluff.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 9/10

Flow: Steady, if a bit confusing (but that's why it's mystery)

Kyuro : silver_shot || T || AO3 || SasuSaku || Mystery || Post-Canon || Complete

“Oh,” says Naruto, “well, its sort of like that. Except in this village, the story has a way more darker ending – it basically goes like this: the girl and the guy plan to run away together. The guy steals a bunch of treasure, and stashes it away. But then, when he goes to get the girl at her village, he kills her and decides to run away with all that money. But then he is killed by the guards of the girls village and now they're both dead and the treasure is hidden away somewhere”. Sasuke stares blankly at the blond, “that story makes no sense”.

My thoughts : I know you must be thinking the same thing as Sasuke – "makes no sense". I did too, but it's a pretty cool short story. It lies on the funny, creepy side that slowly starts to lose its funny touch. SS makes stupid mistakes later on but it could be because they are MCs. The ending is very ambiguous. It's not my favorite mystery but it is something. Enjoyable read but not something I will pick again.

Writing: 8/10

Characters: 8/10

Plot: 8/10

Flow: Fast

Moon stuttering in the sky : xfrinz || T || AO3 || Gen || Mystery || Pre-Shippuden || One-shot

Kakashi is suspicious of many things about Haruno Sakura. Too many things about her don't make sense, with too many incongruous explanations.

My thoughts : Author of this story just summarised Pre-Shippuden in less than 4k words and made some tiny changes to it. Not much though. One of my favorite gen fics yet. Read it if you haven't yet. You'll feel more sad than thrilled tbh. But worth it.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 10/10

Flow: I-am-Speed

Breath mints : silver_shot || T || AO3 || SasuSaku || Comedy-Mystery || Post-Canon || Ongoing (maybe)

Their home no longer exists with the life it once had – in fact no settlement thrives anymore; they exist only in a snapshot that contradicts time itself. Families within their own homes sleep in a slumber that they cannot wake from. Those that were chatting on the street prior to the event simply drop their heads and remain unresponsive.

My thoughts : I picked it up for Mystery but I stayed for Comedy. But of course that's not to say supernatural elements in this story is not it, but it sure pales in comparison to effortless humor in this story. Lee and Kiba pair is something you don't see often but they get along too well here. Charactisation is on point as well. SS angst! + NS angst (but it's downplayed)

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 9/10

Flow: Steady

The Curse : sincerelyLen || T || FFN || SasuSaku || Horror || Post-Canon || Ongoing

Team 7 is unexpectedly assigned an S-Ranked Mission involving an unsolved mystery of 10 years. An eerie adventure that will test their teamwork, strengths, and greatest fears. Do you believe in Curses?

My thoughts : My all-time favourite horror Naruto fanfiction. To me, this sets the standard of how mystery and horror elements should be handled. I have never been able to get this story out of my mind even it's been years. Perfect charactisation of Team 7 with Smart-yet-Stupid!Sakura, I-can-fight-aliens-and-reanimated-corpses-but-keep-ghosts-away-from-me!Naruto and I-dont-get-paid-enough-for-this!Sasuke. I especially love OCs here. They kinda reminds me of Pillars from KnY. You must read this story, loosely based on Zombie apocalypse + curse concept.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 10/10

Flow: Slow-but-Steady

Silent High : Istoria || T || FFN || Gen || Mystery || Post-Canon || Complete

A bit of the Silent Hill series mixed in with Naruto. Trapped in an illusion whose rules are unknown, they struggle to find answers before darkness consumes them.

My thoughts : One of the best mystery fanfictions I've read. I especially loved how this story handled Genjutsu in the best possible way it could without it turning into some cliche, ghost story. Though really, this story has shown what my greatest fear actually is. I will never be able to leave my back open to a wheelchair. This story has simple writing yet it gives you creeps with the twists and turns. A must read one because it is unlike any other in this list.

Writing: 9/10

Characters: 10/10

Flow: Steady

Silence of the Damned : Daystar Clarion || T || FFN || Gen || Psychological Horror, Mystery(?) || Pre-Shippuden || One-Shot

When Naruto wakes up to a dead body in his bathroom, he begins a quick spiral into madness.

My thoughts : Listen to Halsey's Control while reading this. Quite chilling, deals with mental issues and morbid but in a fascinating way. It gives a new meaning to Dark!Naruto, but one that actually makes sense. I never saw the ending coming... I had something else in mind and I was convinced it would be, but nope. Here's a sequel to this One-Shot (Uzumaki's War) which I never picked up.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 9/10

Plot: 9/10

Flow: Slow-but-steady

To the Victor : Letta || T || FFN || NaruSaku || Psychological Horror || Shippuden || One-Shot

Naruto loses the fight and Sakura is a trophy of war.

My thoughts : A very twisted NS, if you squint. It's not horror but it might as well be... it is still a disturbing story to see from the eyes of Sakura. Quite chilling to be in Sakura's shoes. But I love this because it is one shot and I loved the ending.

Writing: 9/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 8/10

Flow: Steady

Under the Skin : BukkakeNoJutsu || T || FFN || Team 8 || Body Horror || Pre-Shippuden || One-Shot

Your actions don't make you a monster. Your reasons do.

My thoughts : There's a reason why Shino is my favourite team 8 member. In my opinion, Shino is also one of the strongest Shinobi of his generation. His clan techniques are just that horrifying. This story is testament to that. He is so terrible.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 10/10

Flow: Slow-but-steady

Instant Message : Keelah || T || FFN || SasuSaku || Murder mystery || Modern AU || Incomplete

She gave him names to kill, in order not to be killed herself. But having blood on her hands was turning out to be much worse than dying. "…There's still round 2…3…4…" When does this game end? She asked. "Don't you see, Sakura?" He said, "It never does."

My thoughts : I read this story a long time ago and have read this twice. Personally, it has the most interesting concept of all stories in the list. It reminds me of Vocaloid series, "Bookmark of the end". Kind of. To those who are thinking of picking this up, go ahead! It's a great book and has one of the best suspense I've read in Fandom. BUT, it has been stopped in mother-of-all-cliffhangers and Author is MIA for 4 years now. But, all things considered, it remains to be one of the best stories I've read.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 9/10

Plot: 10/10

Flow: Steady

Monomoth : Ohtze || M || FFN/AO3 || SasuSaku || Horror || AU || Incomplete

Everything ends, eventually. Eight years after the war, Sakura's unhinged and Sasuke's obsessed. The fields are filled with corpses.

My thoughts : I read this story right after "The Curse", my favourite. From what I remember, Sakura and Sasuke are both mentally deranged, in different ways. Lots of death and gore to stomach, so not for weak readers. There's no speak of fluff in this one. Zero, Zilch, Nada. I wouldn't call it your classic 'Horror', but it is very disturbing, so psychological horror is more like it. Don't eat food while reading this one. Did I mention how Sakura is mentally disturbed beyond help in this one? And Sasuke is obsessed. If these suit your tastes, go ahead.

Writing: 10/10

Characters: 9/10

I hope you enjoy this list. Let me know your opinion in comments.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day One Hundred Ninety-Two: Cooperation ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi, Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba, Yūhi Kurenai ] [ SasuHina ] [ Verse: A Light Amongst Shadows ] [ AO3 Link ]

Genin missions have been so boring lately.

While Sasuke expected there to be some learning curve...he wasn’t assuming it would be this bad. Dog walking, yard weeding, cat fetching...these aren’t shinobi tasks! Nothing about them utilize what they learned in the Academy, or during the training sessions they’ve had thus far with Kakashi. These are things any civilian could do! Why tasks like these are being afforded to shinobi - even if they are genin - is beyond his understanding.

Needless to say, it’s made the little Uchiha irritated. He’s supposed to be gaining experience, learning new jutsu, building up both his knowledge and his strength...and these assignments aren’t cutting it. He’d even dare to call them an insult. He has no time to waste on menial tasks when his brother is out there, still breathing, and far beyond Sasuke’s current skill level. How can he even begin to compete with - let alone kill - his elder brother if all he’s being given to do are stupid chores and pointless exercizes?!

“So, I’ve got a little something different for you three today.”

Meeting as always atop the little bridge that roughly sits in the middle of their homes, the trio of genin look up as Kakashi finally arrives. While Naruto and Sakura take to their usual berating of the man, Sasuke just leans coolly against the railing. There’s no point to it by now...their teacher will never be on time, no matter their fussing.

“So, what’s the mission? Huh? Huh?” Naruto demands, practically dancing around with anticipation. “C’mon, you gotta tell us!”

“Well, it’s another D-rank,” Kakashi begins, pausing as his team all wilt. “...is that a problem?”

“Man, these missions are lame,” the Uzumaki mutters.

“We all have to go through them,” Kakashi assures him, giving his infamous one-eyed smile. “You’ll outgrow them soon enough...but first, you need an introduction to missions and the system before we start sending you on something more...advanced.”

“You’ve been saying that for months,” Sasuke retorts, arms loosely folded over his chest.

“And you’re still not ready, even after all that time.”

Dark eyes narrow, but Sasuke withholds any other quips. It’s just a waste of time.

“Now...barring any more interruptions...we’ve got a two-squadron mission on our hands.”

The genin blink. “...wait, what?” Naruto demands. “Y’mean we gotta team up with more genin?”

“Precisely,” Kakashi chirps. “Today you’ll be working with team eight.” After a pause, he clarifies, “Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyūga Hinata. Currently under the tutelage of one Yūhi Kurenai. They’ve been denoted as a bit of a tracker team, what with the kikaichu, ninken, and Byakugan at their disposal. And you three are to be more of the...beef in this little mix.”

“...meaning?” Sasuke asks.

“You and Naruto are pretty heavy hitters, and Sakura is clever. Working with team eight’s abilities to find your target, you’ll then head in to capture it.”

“If it’s another cat, I’m gonna holler!” Naruto...hollers.

“No, not a cat this time,” Kakashi assures him with another smile. “This is a bit more...feisty.”

All three genin furrow brows at that. “...what’s feistier than a cat?” Sakura muses mostly to herself.

“You’ll just have to come find out! We’re to meet your temporary teammates at the gate.”

Exchanging glances, team seven makes to follow as Kakashi about-faces and heads to the main village entrance.

True to his word, Kurenai’s team is already there. “Kakashi,” she greets, hands on her hips.

“Ready to go?”

“Are you going to explain what we’re looking for?” Sakura cuts in, folding her arms with a hint of impatience.

“Yes yes,” Kakashi replies. “You see, we recently had a new batch of messenger hawks start training yesterday! But unfortunately...they weren’t quite tame enough, and flew off. It’s up to you six to locate the missing hawks, and safely return them to the village aviary.”

“...we’re after birds?” Naruto clarifies, squinting.

“Important birds. Konoha’s message system has to be foolproof,” Kurenai offers. “Important, encoded information is often sent by hawk. If we don’t have enough of them, or those we have aren’t trained properly, we could lose intel to our enemies.”

The implication perks the younger group.

“So, you’ll be working in pairs,” Kakashi goes on. “One member of each team: team eight will do the tracking, and team seven will work on retrieval.”

“How are we supposed to catch them? Especially without harming them?” Sakura inquires with a frown.

“With these,” Kurenai offers, holding up a bag, within which are several weighted nets. “We’ve also got some bait to try to lure them in, but we have to find them first.”

“That won’t be a problem!” Kiba insists, dashing a thumb at his nose with a grin. “Team eight’s the best trackers from our class!”

“We will do our best,” is Shino’s contribution, Hinata nodding.

“All right...Sakura, you’ll be with Kiba. Naruto, you’re with Shino. And Sasuke, you’ll team up with Hinata. Ready?”

Arming themselves with nets and bait, the pairs scatter.

Sasuke and Hinata head north along the wall, Hinata quickly activating her Byakugan and scanning their surroundings.

He gives her a glance. They very rarely speak, so...in all honesty, he really doesn’t know her that well. Sasuke kept to himself and his studies in the Academy, and she was such a wallflower he often forgot she existed. But her being a Hyūga is interesting, given their supposed shared roots. “...see anything?”

“Not, um...not yet,” she reports, still gazing ahead.

“...how are we supposed to tell them from wild hawks?”

“Kurenai-sensei said they have little metal bands around their left legs. The aviary reported five missing birds last night.”

“And you can see those bands?”

A nod. “Yes. At least...so long as it’s within my range. Right now, I can see about f-fifty meters in any direction.”

Dark brows lift a hair. “...and the Byakugan...it can see through things, right?”

“Yes, most things. Some jutsu can - can warp or distort it. But I haven’t...encountered any of those yet.”

Huh...color him impressed.

They wander for about twenty minutes before Hinata holds out a hand, squinting. “...there. T-twenty meters, ten o’clock.”

He can’t see it, but...Sasuke trusts her. “All right...I’ll set some bait, see if we can lure it out.” A potent dead rat is laid among some leaf litter on the forest floor, Sasuke hiding up in a tree. Hinata takes a nearby branch, watching.

“...here it comes!” she whispers.

With a flutter, the hawk lands nearby, tempted by the smell. Waddling a few paces with outstretched wings, it makes to inspect the carcass.

Timing a leap, Sasuke closes much of the distance as he can before the bird reacts, tossing the net the rest of the way. With weighted edges quickly dragging it down, it gives a fierce cry, fighting against the fibers with sharp talons.

Both genin stand nearby. “Should...should we try to pick it up…?” Hinata asks, stance a bit wary. “I’m not sure that would be, um...that would be safe.”

“I think I can get it.” Approaching carefully, Sasuke ignores the bird’s struggling, managing to get a careful grip on its legs, cradling the rest in his arms. “There…”

“Wow, good job!”

There’s a small warmth at the praise, but Sasuke keeps his expression neutral. “Well...guess we better take it back to free up the net.”

Kakashi and Kurenai look up as they make their way back. “Well well, good job you two!” Kurenai praises.

“Has anyone else found a hawk yet?”

“Not yet,” Kakashi confirms.

“What should we do with this one…?”

Answering with action, Kakashi accepts the upset avian, putting a blinding cap over its eyes and a tether around its legs. It quickly calms, occasionally fluttering and giving a soft rasp.

“Well, back to it!” he then chirps.

They manage to find one more, Kiba and Sakura bringing in three. Naruto and Shino...find none.

“Man, that was totally lame!” Naruto complains, arms folded as the two sensei handle the birds while they trek to the aviary. “How were we supposed to do this?”

Shino adjusts his glasses. “I tracked them just fine...but you were too loud and scared them off…”

“Sounds like Naruto all right,” Sakura agrees with a sigh.

The aviary team gratefully accepts the returned messengers, assuring the teams they’ll be paid well.

“So, that was a pretty good exercise in cooperation between squads,” Kakashi then observes, hands in his pockets. “I think you guys make a pretty good combined team!”

Sakura and Kiba beam, while Shino and Naruto give cool side eye looks. Glancing to Hinata, Sasuke manages a hint of a smile, which she returns.

“Well, that’s all for today. You all head home, and we’ll turn in the reports,” Kurenai offers. “We’ll be sure to get you your pay shares tomorrow morning.”

With that, the group disperses, Sasuke deciding to get a few hours of training in before making his way home.

“Um…”

Catching Hinata’s voice, he pauses as the rest leave them behind. Posture shy as always, Hinata ducks her head. “It...it was nice working with you today, Sasuke-kun.”

Eyebrows lift just a hair. “...yeah. You too. Maybe we’ll get to do that again sometime. Nice change of pace from yard work…”

To his surprise, she giggles into a hand. “You guys do that sort of thing too?”

“Ugh, yeah...all the time.”

“Have you, um...have you had to catch Tora?”

“So many times, I’ve lost count.”

“Yeah, us too! I hope we get more missions like this one...o-or at least, you know...something different. It can get a little...f-frustrating. But I guess genin get stuck with all the b-boring jobs no one else wants, huh?”

“Seems that way.”

...silence blooms.

“Well, um...I guess I’ll see you around?”

“Yeah, probably. Later, Hyūga.”

Hinata gives a short, bobbing bow as the pair part ways. Hands in his pockets, Sasuke mulls the mission over. It was a nice change of pace. Hopefully Kakashi finds more like it. And while he didn’t get to see how Shino or Kiba worked, Hinata did really well. He’ll admit...he’s a bit curious about the Byakugan now. Maybe they can spar sometime so he can learn more about how it works...seeing through objects would be exceedingly handy.

But, for now...time to do a little training on his own, then head home for the day.

.oOo.

Tiiired...and headache...blegh lol Anywayyy, just some random genin shenanigans. Been having a lot of muse for this era in RP, so...I thought it'd work well for a drabble entry! I really wish these teams interacted more in canon...but, I guess that's what fics like this are for! But yeah, I'm gonna go crawl into bed! Thanks for reading n_n
