in response to Kakashi Hatake's question: "Are you saying that Sasuke would share the same fate as Madara?"

The list below is sorted chronologically. (Despite having eight+ years of computer science education, I still don't know how to make sortable tables.
I'll convert the table below into a sortable one once I figure it out!)

Endnotes. This page is a poor man's (or, grad student lacks HTML knowledge) version of Lillian's "Papers" webpage—proudly inspired, but with much less flair!
Over the years, I've grown to love minimalistic design and Times as *my* go-to font—especially for its gorgeous italics.
That said, I used to have a more colorful webpage, accessible here (note: it's not actively updated).
