''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40849572/chapters/102361188 The Thousand-Armed Goddess of Mercy]]'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/AlilSilverfish/pseuds/AlilSilverfish [=AlilSilverfish=]]]
* ''Recommended by'': cyprress
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': An original character reincarnates into an infant Tsunade. She resolves to save her clan, find her "people", and become a hero. This is only slightly complicated by her parents, her modern knowledge, and her attraction to Orochimaru.
* ''Pairing'': Tsunade/Orochimaru
* ''Tags'': FixFic, OriginalCharacter, Romance, Slow Burn, FoundFamily
* ''Comments'': The worldbuilding in this fic is immaculate. Watching Tsunade and Orochimaru orbit each other is maddening, in a good way. There are a lot of original characters, as we don't have a lot of information on this era, but they're all handled very well. It's currently rated M but will later be bumped up to E, according to the author notes.

* Pairing Naruto/Sakura (one sided Naruto/Ino)
* Status: Complete
* Recomended by:AriesBlack9
Naruto, fed up with all of Jiraiya’s research, tries to figure out what the big deal is by writing his own book. And Sakura slowly falls in love after reading it.
* Comments: This story will make a tear come to the eye when reading the book within a book but still has a bitter sweet AU ending.

* Recommended by: [=Orchidperson969=]
* ''Status'': Apparently dormant or dead; last updated July 2020.
* ''Synopsis'': Middle Ages AU! In a world that favors beauty, sex, murder and money, these young teens must find their place in the court of King Hiuzen ''[sic]'' Sarutobi. But when the king falls ill and dies, the succession of the throne becomes jumbled when an idiot prince is ill-prepared to rule, a missing princess returns, and a duke seeks revenge and the crown.
* ''Pairings'': Naruto/Hinata, Sasuke/Sakura, Neji/Tenten, Ino/Sai, Shikamaru/Temari, Ino/Shikamaru, Ino/lots of people
* Comments: Mostly focused on the [[LoveDodecahedron tangled romantic lives of the various characters]], this is a creative, well-written medieval AU, with an author who [[ShownTheirWork really knows her stuff when it comes to court life in Tudor England]]. Alas, only five chapters have been posted, and the fic hasn't been updated for years, so it seems that the many dangling plot threads may never be resolved. It does have quite a few semi-explicit sex scenes, so be warned.

* Recommnded by: BlaiddDunn
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: Since before he could even remember, Gaara had heard the sound of the howling wind in the back of his mind. He always wished he could find the person on the other end of that sound, that elusive being who might love him for who he was.
* Pairings: Naruto/Gaara
* Comments: A story where Naruto and Gaara are soul mates despite being from different villages and one being a homicidal maniac. It starts as a simple retelling of the Chuunin exam arc emphasising the characterisation of both boys, but moves on to a For Want of A Nail AU where Gaara works to be worthy of Naruto's unfailing love and they struggle to be together in their situation. The way soulmates work in the ninja world, the benifts and dangers are worked in really well- it's no cheep gimmic but a core part of the world. If soul mate AUs aren't normally your thing this is a good place to try- everyone remains in character and the world works consistantly throughout. I normally dislike soulmate [=AUs=] but this is wonderful.

* ''Synopsis'': In addition to his catalyzing gymnast career, he fancied pissing his too self-reliant makeup artist off. It's not like she could go anywhere; she was indentured by legal contract and vanity. Kind of like him.
* ''Tags'': Romance, Drama, Alternate Universe (AU)
* ''Comments'': A relatively new fanfic and was published on July 21,2017 with 7 chapters so far. As said from the synopsis, Sasuke is a gymnast with a narcissistic attitude who likes to piss sakura which happen to be his newly hired makeup artist. This is a refreshing read for me as i've never encountered a story with such concept before. The characterization were well portrayed along with very detailed description of scenes that you read. Give it a try, The updates are also quick so you won't have to have your eyes go white with the waiting.

* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairing'': Shikamaru/Neji
* ''Synopsis'': "Neji has always been in control. There's just one problem. It's killing him - and only Shikamaru can tell. But sometimes being pulled back from the edge is just as dangerous as being pushed there." First in a series, +100k.
* ''Notes'': While some may hesitate over the rather strange pairing, rest assured all the characters are quite IC and beautifully depicted. Emotions and setting are very well incorporated into the mood of the story. It takes the author a few chapters to truly hit her stride, mostly in regards to pacing, but it's very well structured. The story is confirmed as following canon as closely as possible, working to incorporate original ideas where appropriate without refuting canon. -- @/{{AwayLaughing}}
** It's the first part of a series, and both this story and the rest of the series are complete. Very long, but well-paced, action-packed, no bashing of anyone, and the characters and their relationships with their teammates are well depicted and in canon. The original characters are necessary, interesting, and well-developed. The themes turn really dark at times, so heed the warnings if triggers are something you need to take into account. The dark parts are very respectfully portrayed, though. All in all, a masterful series. -- Mycomp

''Child of War'' by homesweethomicide13

* ''Status:'' Might be dead since it hasn't been updated since February of 2013. The author says it's because of the story being stolen.
** Vanished from the internet. Author has deleted it from every site it was uploaded on.
* ''Pairing:'' Kakuzu/Hidan
* ''Synopsis:'' He was just an orphaned teen, an abandoned child of war. Nothing new to rogue soldier, Kakuzu. So why does he feel the need to keep him at his side? AU.
* ''Comments:'' This story is magnificent in the developing of Kakuzu's and Hidan's relationship. They - like all relationships - have their ups and downs and disagreements while staying by each other's sides. And they're also kept in character! Not to mention that instead of a full 69 years of age difference between them, there's only about 15!
* '''Warnings:''' LOTS of swearing and cursing, violence, some blood, mentions of sensitive topics like slavery and death, and in the later chapters, the author has said there will be some sex scenes.

* ''Notes'': Easily one of the best Naruto fics I've read. The author keeps with the canon of the time of her writing (2011-2012 if you were wondering) and hits characterization and character development spot-on. The Uchiha children in this fic are the best-written out of any fic I've read, and each child just grows on you. Its premise, events, and characters are those that can rival the canon in my opinion. The style of How I Met Your Mother was gracefully and fittingly used. Aside from a few grammar mistakes and a bit of a dragged-out middle part, this fic is extremely excellent.

A series of moments depicting the evolution of their relationship, from acquaintances to friends to something more, all by crossing that metaphorical line created when a boy and a girl forge a bond.
* ''Comments'': An extremely well written fanfic about what would've happened if Ino had decided to prematurely test her Shintenshin jutsu on Naruto before mastering it back in their Academy days, and how it would change the entire series as a result of this one small act. The pacing of their relationship is incredibly natural and fantastically well-done, and the characterization is spot on. Highly recommended.

Written before the revelation of Tobi's true identity, but after he claims to be Madara.

* Recommended by: Athena1337
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairing(s)'': Naru/Sasu/Saku
* ''Synopsis'': Set in a diverging timeline where Naruto brought Sasuke back from the Valley of the End - Sasuke is eighteen, Sakura and Naruto seventeen. They're still teammates and a strange kind of friends, though nothing more; Naruto still in love with Sakura, Sakura still in love with Sasuke, Sasuke still trying not to feel too much for either of them, and then due to Kyuubi's influence, here they are, the three of them in bed.
* ''Tags'': {{Lemon}}, once or twice, but there's a heads' up before any of that. Some violence, of course; this ''is'' Naruto we're talking about.

* Recomended by: Blaidd Dunn
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Pairings'': Shikamaru/Naruto/Hinata OT3
* ''Synopsis'' : A good advisor would not waste time and brain resources pining for their Hokage. Or their Hokage's wife. Possibly both. Unfortunately, Nara Shikamaru was not that advisor.
* ''Comments'': Post series but pre-Boruto, this is perhaps the single sweetest and most well rounded poly romance and funny as hell to boot.

* ''Synopsis'': Madara's lineage did not end at the valley of the end. His legacy lived on through Minato and into Naruto. Sharingan Naruto. Strong/Godlike! Naruto.
* ''Comments'': A great story that starts what if Madara was not killed at the Valley of the End and what if he had a child that would grow up to be the Yondaime Hokage.
* Warnings: There is a lemon in one of the chapters, one of the main characters is murdered.

''[[https://ficwad.com/story/213011 Eroninja]]'' by [[https://ficwad.com/a/TheLemonSage TheLemonSage]]
* Recommended by Witchfinder
* ''Status'': Ongoing (With a number of spin-offs)
* ''Pairings'': Naruto/Multi
* ''Synopsis'': Naruto is given a scroll containing the secrets of making women fall for him, a scroll he uses at first on the women around him but soon on the shinobi world as a whole, giving birth to the Eroninja.
* ''Comments'': Let's get this out of the way: This fic is 50% harem and 50% story. The first quarter of the story contain the expected lemons as Naruto gets paired with virtually every named female in the series ([[Manga/{{Bleach}} as]] [[Manga/{{Sekirei}} well]] [[Franchise/FinalFantasy as]] [[Franchise/StreetFighter numerous]] [[Manga/FairyTail other]] [[Manga/AhMyGoddess series]], though they are woven into the story and are a part of the Naruto universe rather than it being a direct crossover). After around chapter 19 or so, the lemons slow down a tad and the story picks up around the start of Shipudden, with the various women in Naruto's family having a major impact in the story. That itself is this troper's favorite aspect of the story: The women aren't simply there for the harem; they play a massive part of the story and get massive screen-time (sometimes more than Naruto himself). Minor (female) characters are spared and are given immeasurable depth, and HeelFaceTurn are aplenty. The story is over 1 million words long, JustForFun/TropeOverdosed (it can be found already as an example in a number of pages on Website/TvTropes) and is divided into arcs. The writing style and characterization -especially Naruto as he becomes more experienced- may not be for everyone, but it is quite the ride if you're willing to stick around. This troper actually prefers this over to what Shippuden turned into.

* ''Pairings'': Naruto/Temari
* ''Synopsis'': Temari was a harsh, clever woman, but she loved for simple reasons. [[=NaruTema=]]
* ''Comments'': It's on the short side of fics, but it's definitely develops the romance between Naruto and Temari well, albeit being fluff.
