How is this even my life? Rated M for violence.

The one thing that couldn't hide in the world of Shinobi was ill-intent. Evil. Sin. It was rampant throughout the Elemental Nations and infested every village to it's core.

That it was time for an end.

Despite it all, of one thing he was certain: He'd follow her into that abyss. Fem!Sasuke x Naruto. Genderbend AU

Kakashi was bound and determined to make sure that he didn't end up with a dead genin or one that went rogue. Plus, he kinda wanted to rub it in the other Jounin Sensei's faces that his team was just awesome like that, even if they didn't know it yet.

She died in an explosion, which was a pretty sketchy situation itself even if she wasn't the one who planted the bomb. So when she opened her eyes again, clearer than ever, she wondered, what the hell does fate want with her. Punishment, atonement, second chance... She has no idea, and she might never find out. Reincarnation!OC, Uchiha!OC

It all started with a smell. That had been what made Shikamaru take notice of Naruto. Some things about the 'boy' just didn't add up and the more Shikamaru thought about it the more he began to wonder what Naruto wasn't telling people, and, if Shikamaru was correct, why was Naruto hiding it in the first place? The genius just hoped he was right otherwise things could get awkward!

Changing the future wasn't easy. There would be a lot of lying. Deceit. Manipulation. Death. Especially if I wanted to change anything for the better. [OC-Insert]

The Shinigami was satisfied by the bloodbath called the Fourth Shinobi World War. He reaped the souls of over 80,000 ninjas and countless civilians... Then why does he send one of them back in time? (Time-travel done RIGHT; read the first chapter to be convinced. Full summary inside. Features Fūinjutsu!Naruto. Will be EPIC in length. NO HAREM.) "Err... why do you smell like fish?"

Mix in Juubi's bijuudama, two Susanoo, few Mangekyou Sharingan, the power of Rinnegan, the chakra of the Kyuubi, some Ninjutsu, add some uncanny sort of luck, and you will get one dimensionally misplaced Jinchuuriki.

Previously known as Glory Rewritten.

[SI-OC] I had hoped I wouldn't die so early in life. And honestly, I wasn't good ninja material. The most I knew was how to twirl a stick and ram a backpack filled with school supplies on someone's head — and yet some entity decided to plop me down into a world where you're either a ninja or a civilian — and the mortality rate wasn't good either way. My choice was kinda obvious.

Experimentation is the lifeblood of fuuinjutsu research. Aiko was doing that noblest of pursuits at home on a Saturday night, and then she had to fling a fruit cart at rudely persistent kiri nin. ...That does happen to other people, right? This starts off very silly because it was meant to be only one drabble answering "what would Aiko do in canon?" Then it grew on me. Vapors pt3

Kakashi gets thrown back in time with a make-shift team to fix the mess with Kaguya before it even begins. Now in a body too small and watching his dad collect supplies for that disastrous mission, well…he doesn't hesitate to push a Raikiri straight through his dad's stomach. (Missing-nin Kakashi with brutal efficiency 'cause he's got no time for your bullshit.)

"Prove me wrong." Shikamaru takes Naruto's declaration that he'll be the next Hokage seriously. Sometimes, the simplest validation is enough to change the world.

"They say the only thing to fear is fear itself. That, and a motivated Nara." Shikamaru is born with his father's intelligence and his mother's work ethic. The world is turned sideways.

She tried to convince herself it was all for redemption, but navigating the consequences of her decisions will not protect her from the consequences of theirs.

Uzumaki Naruto grew up with lofty goals, guts, and determination. Instincts of a born fighter made him grow; duty to his home drove him. As the battle lines begin to blur, he must find a way to reconcile all he's ever known with the man he hopes to become. Large AU.

He picked up the strange book, seeing the crude graffiti and rewritten rules inscribed on the pages. It was, he believed, a Leaf Shinobi's Rule handbook. The one handed out to all Academy students to memorize. What was most strange about it though, was it's new title: "The Lonely Tourist's Guide to Remembering Your Dimensional Intransversal Causeways—AKA: Don't Forget Your DIC's"

I am the empty vessel. I am the clay soldier in which the will of fire burns. (AU) (Reboot of Shinobi: Team 7)

Because of course Sasuke's response to learning time-travel is possible is to try going back just that little bit further. And overshooting the runway. By a lot. The ancestors may be giving him hell, but at least he's got Naruto with him. (Female Naruto)

Kurama is sent back in time to right after he was released from Obito's Sharingan. He lashes out, and kills Naruto's parents once again without thinking. With no additional time, Minato is forced to seal the full Kurama inside of Naruto. Kurama decides to make up for his mistake in the only way he knows how. With a lot of complaining. Backup: archiveofourown-org/works/27550933/

"I treated you like an insect. I'm...sorry, Uzumaki-san" she said quietly as the reality of her own arrogance set in. What if Hinata hadn't been sweet? What if she had been very much like Neji?

You can't put a twenty-eight-year-old ridiculously competitive academic into one of the most prestigious clans containing more ridiculously competitive academics and expect nothing to go drastically wrong. [SI OC] {AU}

A continuation of my story 'Gifts'. Jiraiya takes a bit more interest in Naruto's life and sets in motion some significant changes. Rated M for likely harsh language and violence in future chapters. No real pairings for Book 1. Will get into Fuinjutsu.

When a mere boy can outprank and outrun an entire village of shinobi, it speaks volume about his talent, no matter what his detractors would say. Dragon, ANBU commander of Konohagakure no Sato, understands that well and decides ANBU is the place for Naruto. AU-Ish, ANBU!Naruto. ABANDONED.

A Naruto shadow clone flips his lid and Hiruzen realizes that being ostracized doesn't make a child "lovable" and happy. This is an eponymous challenge originally posted by slythefoxx2.

It began with her spying on him. But it was her duty right? It raised Naruto's interest to unbelievable levels. She was beautiful and she captivated every fiber of his being. But it was more than her beauty that grabbed his interest...his obsession. *Non-massacre* AU *Fem!Itachi*

An 8-year-old Naruto sneaks into the library and finds a thin little book titled "How To Be a Ninja", authored by his hero, the Yondaime.

"When exactly were you going to tell me about THIS?" "I was eight at the time. I didn't kn-" "Excuses are for Iwa-nin! Take your punishment like a man!" "...Kushina, please put down that meat cleaver." Clearly, privacy is a myth. May Kami-sama save his soul. Minato-centric, in case the title wasn't obvious enough. Rated T because Jiraiya is involved.

Sakura is a study in how to fuck up, she's allowed. She's failed so many times it's a joke, but there are some lines that you simply don't cross. "I don't care if you're the Sage of the Six Paths, I don't care if you're Hokage. You have no right."

Who would you spend your last day on earth with? It was a fairly simple question. Even simple questions, however, could hold significant weight depending on their answers and who they pertained to. Hinata's answer to this question was a medicine Naruto hadn't known he needed. NaruHina

When Shikamaru does a small favor for Naruto, the entire future of the Shinobi world is changed. Who knew something as simple as providing shelter could change everything?

When the Yondaime said he'd like to try an experiment Naruto Sasuke and Sakura think nothing other than yes please. Only . . . this wasn't the result they had in mind.

Sometimes it's easy to see the familiar in the faces around you. Sometimes it sucks to figure out why.

Madara Uchiha had been a proud leader for the Uchiha for many years, guiding them through times of turmoil and conflict with an iron fist and deadly wrath. A recent lull in the war between the Senju and Uchiha had given Madara a glimpse of the inevitable, and a recently wounded blond drove that fact home. Only problem was, she wasn't expecting to become obsessed with an Uzumaki.

It all starts the day Akari gets into a debate with Minato Namikaze on a battlefield during the Third Ninja War. [Or, that one raging communist SI/OC in Kumo that nobody asked for (or deserves, honestly).]

Teenagers are awkward, hormonal beings. Boruto and Sarada know this, but are only just now figuring out that it's okay to be awkward, even if you're on your first date and need to meet up at a hidden location to avoid the inevitably terrible wrath of one of said teenagers' fathers.
