71* ''Pairing'': Sakura/Sasuke
72* ''Synopsis'': Sasuke was destined to be alone. To lead a life of solitude. Or at least that was what he'd always told himself; he would've never thought that he'd have to fight for a family he never knew he had. He may have chosen to lead a life of isolation, but in the end, it wasn't meant to be. Post-War. [=SasuSaku. Mild NaruHina.=] Rated T for violence and language.
73* ''Notes:'' It's a slow build, as Sakura and Sasuke have a lot of baggage to work through. The main focus is family, as Sasuke unexpectedly discovers he has one and has to deal with it.

78* ''Synopsis:''
79** ''Chasing Shadows'': “If this is the afterlife, then why aren’t you in hell?” Itachi only smiles cryptically. Death is a destination, the afterlife a series of paths. Gen. fic, oneshot. Jiraiya, Itachi, others.
80** ''The Winding Path'': In the afterlife, the journey is just as important as the destination. Jiraiya seeks his student, Itachi seeks redemption, and a newcomer seeks a friend. Sequel to ncfan's "Chasing Shadows." One-shot, manga spoilers.

122* ''Status'': Complete, with an in-progress [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10796885/1/Now-You-See-It sequel]]
123* ''Synopsis:'' Most people seem to think that developing a doujutsu is a wondrous, unspeakably lucky occurrence. Considering that she now has to deal with an ability she has no idea how to use, family drama, fashion crises, and the world's most rude and vulgar doctor, on top of getting to know her new genin team just after graduation...needless to say, Sakura begs to differ.
124* ''Comments'': The story takes a realistic look at what would happen if Sakura suddenly started developing a new doujutsu. It's a very enjoyable read with good characters and Sakura doesn't suddenly become some godlike ninja thanks to her new powers. I highly recommend it. --@/{{Puidwen}}

129* ''Summary'': Genma is a very good assassin. He takes a job, takes a life, comes home, repeats. Then one day a stray genin shows up on his doorstep. And then another. Lonely assassin? Not so much. Try resident shinobi den mother. [In which Genma is a (very manly) mother hen, his apartment attracts strays, and all of his (bastard) friends are quite amused.]
130* ''Comments'': The one where Genma adopts Iruka, Kotetsu, and Izumo. Adorable.

293* ''Synopsis:'' "It all began with an evil statue that switched their bodies. Now, physically weaker, Naruto has to cope with girlbonding and PMS-ing. That’s not nearly as bad as Inner Sakura and the ninetailed fox refusing to get along semipeacefully."
294* ''Pairings:'' Naruto/Sakura
295* ''Comments:'' An incredibly unique fanfic about Naruto and Sakura switching bodies, filled with friendship, growing up, and plenty of humor. Having switched bodies, Naruto and Sakura are faced with the difficult task of having to live eachother's lives. During all of this, they also have to deal with the troubles and downsides of their new bodies, as well as being made painfully aware of the weaknesses they had in their original ones, and to say hilarity ensues would be a grave understatement. Truly a story worth checking out.

355* Recommended by A-Tisket,A-Tasket
356* ''Status:'' Last updated Feb 2015
357* ''Synopsis:'' "What makes this story a little unusual is our character's affiliation: they're with the antagonists. One of the bad guys. Two kunoichi from Hidden Sound who have only their village in common. This story focuses on the two of them as they grow apart and take on their own paths and their own stories. But of course those paths... their stories... are bound to one day meet again."
358* ''Pairings:'' Gaara/OC & OC/TBD & possibly Kakashi/OC
359* ''Comments:'' The narration shifts between the two main characters, Tori and Itami. At first the story and the characters come off as Sue-ish, but the author puts it pretty well: "...other traits and whatnot that take away from these slightly Sue-ish traits. For instance, she [Itami] DOES have A personality, and isn't quite as strong as she thinks she is." The same goes for some of the character background. Nothing that's been done in a million other fanfics (e.g. Orochimaru gives realizes that the OC has great potential and decides to give them the curse mark) has happened so far.

538* ''Synopsis:'' The rise and fall of the man who moved nations; Senju Hashirama.
539* ''Comments'': The story is about how the Leaf Village came into existence, the various clans being united by Hashirama and the beginning of the hatred between the Uchiha and Senju. Although non canon, it's quite well written, other than some minor spelling errors and doesn't try to gloss over how bad things were before the existence of ninja villages.

545* ''Synopsis:'' Madara/OC. He was known as the most powerful shinobi in the Fire Country. She was a simple girl, not even a ninja. It was a romance she did not even initiate, yet he would have her pay for it, a price in blood. Pre-canon.
546* ''Status'': On Extended Hiatus.

561* ''Synopsis:'' "A partly failed mission caused Naruto and Hinata to switch bodies. The curse can be easily lifted. It's just that, the person who can do it had his head shredded to pieces... by Naruto himself."
562* ''Pairings:'' Naruto/Hinata
563* ''Comments:'' A wonderfully written fic. The author has an amazing grasp of characterization and everyone feels absolutely spot on. This fic simply exudes WAFF at times, and is quite romantic and humorous at other times as well. A must read that is definitely worth checking out.

569* ''Synopsis'': Taken directly from the summary: Minato didn't know that when he shattered Tobi's mask in his fight, he set in motion a series of events that would shake the very foundations of the Shinobi world. AU.
570* ''Pairing:'' Naruto/Hinata.
571* ''Comments'': The author paints the scenario of what could've happened had Minato broken Tobi's mask in their brief fight. The best Obito and Orochimaru characterization I've seen on fanfiction.net, but YMMV as the author does change a lot of things from canon.
572** @/{{WalkingOedipus}}: Seconded the recommendation as of now it's really really good- I hope it stays this way- and a breath of fresh air in the stale Naruto fanfiction section. Orochimaru is a MagnificentBastard, but I like it.

578* ''Synopsis:'' At a young age Naruto suffers torture at the hands of a man with unknown motives, loosing his voice in the process. From there he vows never to be weak again.
579* ''Pairing:'' None yet.
580* ''Notes:'' Set in first person and starting in present tense but soon switches to past, since a majority of the story is about Naruto recounting his childhood to a biographer. No character bashing, though Naruto sometimes comes off as a bit of a jerk (particularly the first time he meets Sasuke). The writing is solid, the fight scenes flow together and don't drag on for pages, and Naruto's character development folds out very well.

586* ''Synopsis:'' Never underestimate the power of good advice. A few wise words into a pair of young ears leads a young would-be ninja to a decision; the Leaf will recognize him, but not as the fox.

592* ''Synopsis:'' Naruto was born five years before the Kyuubi attack and the fox was sealed into his younger sister. His parents don't have the time to teach him, so he looks to others to help him become a great shinobi.
593* ''Pairings:'' [[StarCrossedLovers Naruto/Kurotsuchi]], Itachi/Shizuka (Shippuden filler character), [[LesYay Anko/Hana]]
594* ''Comments:'' A well-built AU that doesn't sounds too forced and develops greatly, with most of the characters being depicted in a canonical while realistic way. The only set back is the fact that Naruto's progress in comparison to the rest of the cast is a lot more fast-paced.
