[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7897193/1/Chasing_Yesterday Chasing Yesterday]] is a Naruto FanFic by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1188865/ The King in White]]

''Synopsis'': Takes place in an AU in which Naruto was born a girl. Most of the events of canon played out as canon until the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War. In the aftermath of the war, Naruto is dead, Sasuke is the Juubi jinchuriki, and is the Rokudaime Hokage. He has pretty much lost everything that was ever important to him, and at this point is barely clinging on to his sanity by a thread, driven forward only by a promise to Naruto on her deathbed.

Due to his actions during the time when he was evil, most of the Konoha 11 and newest generation of Konoha shinobi hate him. In the midst of this, the Juubi offers Sasuke a deal: Sasuke gets to go back in time far enough to save Naruto, and the Juubi has a new chance for freedom.

----
!!'''This fic contains examples of the following tropes:'''
%%* TheAtoner: Sasuke prior to going back in time.
%%* ButtMonkey: Suigetsu.
%%* CrazyJealousGuy: Sasuke is showing a lot of potential to become one.
%%** [[ClingyJealousGirl Naruto]] is showing a lot of potential as well.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Karin somewhat did this to Sasuke.
** Actually, its less a matter of this trope and more a matter of her concluding that there is absolutely no way that Sasuke will fall in love with her, and that even if he did, she is completely incapable of dealing with his emotional problems. As such, she begins shipping her "little cousin" (Naruto) with Sasuke.
* KnightTemplar:
** [[spoiler:"And if Naruto has any political enemies, I will personally destroy them. If anyone else tries to hurt Naruto, I'll slaughter everyone they ever cared about."]]

** Kinda lampshaded hilariously [[spoiler: when a waiter cries out: "Did somebody order a large ham?" in Chapter 15 as a perfect segue between Itachi's hilarious deadpan to the large ham master himself, Lee.
