''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5328489/1/RED RED]]'' is a ''{{Naruto}}'' fanfiction which began as a collaboration between authors [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/429815/Sherbet_Mayhem Sherbet Mayhem]] and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/368692/Oil_Pastel Oil Pastel]] but was later continued singularly by Sherbet Mayhem, which crosses over with/is based on/is inspired by Markus Zusak's ''Literature/TheBookThief''. Set in an alternate setting to BOTH stories, it features the cast of Naruto and mimics the writing style and follows the the rough plot outline of ''The Book Thief''. Konoha, no longer a village of ninja, replaces Germany, "Leaves" replace the Germans, the titular "Reds" replace the Jews and Orochimaru replaces UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler. The story follows Sakura (who loosely takes the place of Liesel Meminger, the protagonist of ''The Book Thief''), as she grows up in Konoha under the looming shadow of war, trying to come to terms with the increasing oppression of the Reds- most especially one Red who takes shelter in her family home, a boy named Uchiha Sasuke.
