156	* Comments: The idea of Konoha being ruled by a six year old girl, even just for a day, it's just as hilarious as it sounds, bot in and out of universe. Worth mention the few accomplishments Himawari managed to achieve under her short tenure. Also, if you're a super fan of Boruto you may not like this since he's pretty much a ButtMonkey.

336	* ''Status'': Complete
337	* Synopsis: A short one-shot where Madara reflects on the state of the world, and his own past, as he casts the Infinite Tsukyomi.
338	* Comments: While brief, it's a rather interesting look into the psyche of the infamous Madara Uchiha, whom I think everyone can agree is a psychopath. This story actually sums up how I sympathized with Madara fairly well — in fact, this story places it in words more eloquent than I could come up with — and it could make those of you who hate Madara see him in a different light. Or, you might not change your opinion at all. Give this quick one-shot a read and decide for yourself. --[=LastationLover5000=]

390	* Synopsis: The Sage of the Six Paths had planned his Grand Entrance to perfection. That plan had not involved arriving early and getting lost on the outer perimeters of Naruto and Sasuke's Minds. Since neither Mind wants to die any time soon, guides have been sent to help the Sage get back on schedule.
391	* Comments: One of those rare fics where your brain instantly goes "canon freaking accepted". Also very very funny. I love everything in this fic, including the fact that [[spoiler: Itachi's crow shitted all over Naruto's mind]].

399	** An old Kage has a discussion with a new one and HilarityEnsues. Peace through superior firepower taken to its utmost conclusion; it's a beautiful thing. --[=RazorSmile=]
400	** I don't see what's hilarious about it, but it's well-written. It's interesting how (to me, at least) neither side is completely wrong in the scenario that's laid out. --@/{{Pastykake}}
