Team Tensai is an above-average Team 7 Peggy Sue, with a few caveats, mainly centered around the universe being a much more grim & gritty place. There's mention of multiple pedophiles preying on street kids that Naruto has exposed to the ANBU and not all of them "in time" so to speak, and not-very-off-camera torture. It's likely enough to squick anyone with qualms about written blood and gore, the more so when Team 7 are physically 5-7 years old over the course of the fic so far. If you can handle Naruto disposing of Kabuto's remains the Druid way after Sakura and Sasuke spent 26 off camera hours depleting his ability to heal himself, though, it's a well written piece with a logical world and plot, and solid characterization. The mere fact that I am reccomending a grim & gritty should speak volumes as to its other merits. Oh, and if you're uptight about LGBTs, ninja in this world are very not, but it's only a plot point because Naruto persuades Iruka to give his jerk boyfriend the boot, and jokingly calls him 'mother' due to worrywortism.
The author has done a couple of side-stories, but one is random-shorts-you-can-ignore, and the Sasuke one is only if you don't mind going into angst-fest detail about the pedos and slasher-movie detail about their fates. Sakura's, on the other hand, is almost fluffy (certainly as much as anything in this version of the setting) and highly recommended even if you're going to skip the main story, as a great example of how to handle Peggy Sue insertion without sucking.
