    A - G 

The Accidental Henge by JAC_Ossuary

  • Recommended by: Capeclare
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis: Frustrated with academy life, Naruto steals a third years training manual and resolves to teach himself the Henge before anyone else in his class. Done on the night of a full moon, Naruto has no idea what his attempts will cause. Genderbender possibly Nary/Ino though definitely friendship and it also has some fanart.

Advent of the Spiraling Ninja by Born of Prayers

  • Recommended by Leidolf
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairing(s): Naruto x Hinata, Gaara x Matsuri, Fuu x Shibuki
  • Synopsis: AU. Naruto is attacked the day after graduation and after Hinata takes a kunai for him, he uses the Kyuubi's Chakra and is forced to flee the village. The fox guides him to his ancestral home of Uzushio and uses a special puppet to summon his mother, Kushina. Now, he travels alongside her, in an attempt to rebuild their village.

Atlas

  • Recommended by: Lord Herobrine
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis: My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I don't have chakra. I can't walk on walls, I can't breathe fire, and I certainly can't make a clone of myself. Who cares? I'm awesome anyway." Can Naruto be a good ninja in a world where everyone BUT him has superpowers? Yes. Yes, he can.| Story takes on a more modern take on the Naruto world and begs the question on what would happen if Naruto had no access to Chakra. Very engaging and not afraid to kill off a bunch of main and or side characters. Also, HAN.. Just, HAN.
  • Pairings: Tentative, and not specifically enumerated as of 2/18/2014.

The Banishment of Uzumaki Naruto by Jeconais

  • Recommended by: Eddie Current, Robinton
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: In which the often pulled fan trope of the all powerful town council grinding Naruto down is skewered, and Danzo's pet project gets rather nicely sporked as well.

Black Cloaks, Red Clouds by Archontruth

  • Recommended by Dellanotte
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: Neji/Ten/Dei, Orochimaru/Anko, NaruHina
  • Synopsis: In a world where Orochimaru is Hokage and the Hidden Villages are ruled by tyrants, Tenten finds the lines between ally and enemy blurring when a desperate strategy lands her in the company of enigmatic strangers who wear black cloaks with red clouds. DeiTen and NejiTen. Contains adult themes.

Blood Sings by Fireun Feather

  • Recommended by Nitramy
  • Status: Dormant (last updated January 2017)
  • Pairings: NaruHina / SasuSaku
  • Synopsis: For Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage, the day started out like any other. But then Jiraiya walked into his office with a teen that could have been his clone and that bore the name of his vanished lover. His day just got very, very interesting. AU

The Book of Naruto by HitokiriOTD

  • Recommended by Yogi, X Shouldve Died, Kurtulmak, boonerunner
  • Status: Dead
  • Pairing(s): Unrequited Naruto/Lots of people (Hinata mostly). Naruto just doesn't know about it.
  • Synopsis: Naruto is a God. Naruto is an actual literal God, as in "pray to him and he grants miracles" God, but he has no clue that's the case. He's still the same lovable goofball roaming the countryside with Jiraiya, and he has no idea that people are building temples in his honor.

The Boy in the Team by Shadenight123

  • Recommended by mothaibabon
  • Status: Complete.
  • Synopsis: Sasuke Uchiha is Rookie of the Year and son of the police chief. Naruko Namikaze is prime Kunoichi and hero of Konoha, daughter of the Yondaime Hokage. Hence, the dead last assigned to their team is Shinku Haruno...son of civilians. There is no rising from the lower levels when you're surrounded by prodigies. Just live through the nightmare...and hope to wake up to a better day.
  • Comments: Be warned that it's pretty dark and edgy. Given the amount of trouble Naru(k)o and Sasuke get up to just for being so overpowered, it's a more realistic take on what should have ended up happening to a normal person who unfortunately got dragged along with them. Negative points: the plotline is a bit confusing, and the ending still has some loose ends. Overall, though, very well done Coming of Age story where the OC actually goes through a lot of hell to earn his stripes instead of simply being a Gary Stu.

Broken Hat by chairomori

  • Recommended by Veloren
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: None, just delicious, delicious crack.
  • Synopsis: Gaara is now the Kazekage, what is Naruto going to do about it? (Steal his hat, obviously).

A Cage of Blood and Circumstance by shadowsdeep

  • Recommended by Einsieg
  • Status: Indefinite hiatus
  • Pairing(s): None.
  • Synopsis: A Self-Insert Fic in the vein of Self as Canon Character. The SI is merged with the just shy of four years old Hinata Hyuga at the exact moment when she is rescued from her abduction. After a brief moment of excitement, this situation is quickly seen with a serious case of Fridge Horror as the SI realizes that they have just been fused with the mind of a girl who's entire life is a prison walled off by the laws of her clan.

Chipped Mask by Darkpetal 16

  • Recommended by beeruckzII
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Tobi/OC
  • Synopsis (from Fanfiction.net): No one just falls into another world. It just doesn't happen. Not normally, at least. Not even rarely. It's an effect, not a cause. And I should have known that. The signs were there. The warnings were clear. I should have paid attention. No one just falls into another world. No one just falls into another world, and returns, I should say. Because I fell. And returning was impossible.
  • Comments: The humor and romance is perfectly balanced out, the serious moments aren't out of place, the fluffiness is just right, the OC - Mia - isn't bad and even though it alters from canon, it's still believable! I haven't finished reading it yet, but let's just say that I believe that there is a good reason this story has over 2000 reviews!

Clone Story by DehNutCase

  • Recommended by randommixer
  • Status: Dead (last updated May 2013)
  • Synopsis: It follows the perspective of one of the clones summoned on the night of the Forbidden Scroll Heist. Having been summoned too far away to get in on any of the action, instead of dispelling, the clone instead decides to just…stick around and see what happens. After getting the Old Man to set something up, the clone takes on the identity of Hikari Rekka. Slight AU and some crack.

corvus by one_go_alone

  • Recommended by: Komodo Classic
  • Status: Complete
  • Summary: From AO3: Itachi's earliest memory is crows.
  • Synopsis: In a modern-day universe with no jutsu, Itachi gains the Sharingan while on the job as a police officer for the city of Konoha. He keeps it secret, but the situation soon spirals, and he is forced to kill his cousin Shisui and flee the city to escape Danzo and save Sasuke. To this end, he joins Akatsuki, all for the purpose of keeping his brother safe.
  • Comments: The alternate universe and Itachi's thought processes are fascinating. There are no jutsu, but kekkei genkai and Jinchuuriki show up, and ninja have special relationships with a certain type of animal. Itachi's affinity is for crows. The story is told in a series of short snapshots, most of them centered on Itachi. Oh, and the fight scenes are great. Also, be prepared to be emotionally compromised. You may not cry—that's not the kind of emotion—but the story is that good.

Crimson Reign by Lady Hanaka (AU)

Damaetas by pellaz

  • Recommended by: Orchidperson969
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Sasuke/Naruto; Orochimaru/Naruto (one-sided and nonconsensual)
  • Synopsis: SasuNaru. Set postseries. Orochimaru has taken Sasuke's body, and Naruto hunts him while dealing with such obstacles as training his first genin team.
  • Comments: This fic is tragic, disturbing in parts, and doesn’t let up on the emotional torque once. Be warned, it has some explicit elements and a very Bittersweet Ending.

Dissonance by Unwritten.25

  • Recommended by: Lady Venamisa
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: Itachi/Naruto, Sakura/Ino (among others; Gay, lesbian and straight relationships are mentioned.
  • Synopsis: AU. Ita/Naru. Naruto is the new kid at Konoha Academy of the Arts and he's got some pretty dark secrets. And when his past comes back to haunt him, he won't be able to keep them hidden for very long. (actual synopsis for the fic)

Echoes by Kagaseo

  • Recommended by: Metagross Z
  • Pairings: None so far, mostly due to Anyone Can Die
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A modification of the seal holding back the Kyuubi has surprising consequences. A different version of Naruto discovers the ability to travel between multiple, different universes and begins a quest to uncover a conspiracy that stretches across them. But dogging him are a group of powerful, SS-rank ninja intent on conquering all of the universes.

The Empty Cage by Rathanel

  • Recommended by templar627, Frodo Lives, Sheaman 3773, Robinton
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: None yet
  • Synopsis: AU. Desperate and rushed, Minato Namikaze is forced to rely on the Death God's seal, a seal he doesn't fully understand, and his son pays the price with his life. So who is the blond-haired kid running around Konoha? M for language and violence.
    • Has some moderate, well-placed AU elements and good dramatic tension.
    • Also has a spin-off series, Swapping the Cage, with Naruto from The Empty Cage running around a much more canon Konoha.

Escape From The Hokage's Hat by anothvortex

  • Recommended by Blue Magicite, JasonCarter
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: Naruto/Hinata (was almost harem)
  • Synopsis: After successfully retrieving Sasuke, a number of additional seals are detected on his body which had damaged his performance. Once removed, Naruto needs to recover in a body with far less limitations. Because of this, Tsunade names Naruto her apprentice to remove him from the threat of the Council, leaving Jiraiya in charge as temporary Hokage (who puts the Seeing Eye Ball to good use!) as she trains Naruto across a number of elemental nations with Hinata and Shizune in tow.

The Eyes Have It by Shana The Short

  • Trope page here
  • Recommended by MaskedAndDangerous, Komodo Classic
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: None
  • ''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.
    • Seconded. It's so rare to find a good Sakura fanfic that explores her as a human being instead of an extension of the other male characters.

Fox Moon and Will of Foxfire by Quill of Molliemon

  • Recommended by throwaawy
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Minato/Kushina
  • Synopsis: (AU, pre-timeskip, no bijuu, no massacre) Konohagakure no Sato is a village of ninjas who hunt demons. Naruto is a ninja who has some secrets. And tonight is a full moon.. (One Shot)
    • Naruto is a child of secrets. The full moon is a cruel thing. Darkness lurks in the heart of Whirlpool. And all Sasuke wants is to please his father... (Series)

From Ramen With Love by Ryushi the Dutch Ero-Sennin

  • Recommended by Clendy 82
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: None
  • Synopsis: Naruto is hanging out at Ichiraku Ramen, down in the dumps because Valentine's Day is coming up and he doesn't have a date. Ayame, the ramen mistress, takes notice and offers to help him compose love letters to send to each of his female friends to see what develops. In addition, she helps him craft a Henge-enhanced alter ego named Nemar who turns out to be downright irresistible. With Ayame's eloquence and charm lessons, and Naruto's disguise-based good looks, what could go wrong? What indeed.

The Fortuneteller by Goldberry

  • Recommended by: Dellanotte
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Neji/Tenten, Sasuke/Sakura, Naruto/Hinata
  • Synopsis: "The things you've lost will eventually come back to you: past, present, and future. AU Neji/Ten, Sasu/Saku"

The Fox Kit by CaptaInCynophobIa (Alasmylove)

  • Recommended by ThisIsRidiculous
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: The seal is weakened not just by anger, but by fear and loneliness, too. Kurama is protective of the child his chakra was curled protectively around for ten months, before he was dragged from Kushina's seal. Naruto is just as much his child as anyone else's. And so, Naruto grows up with with a small physical manifestation of the fox trapped in his gut at his side at all times, a friend, confidant, parent, ally, teacher, and for the sake of appearances, pet. This goes about as well as you'd expect — chaotically.

A Freak A Creep & A Psychopath by Legendary Legacy

  • Trope page here
  • Recommended by Kthe Clo
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis:" An interesting result of a unique fic, that has to be read to be believed.

Fuinjutsu by Eleature

  • Recommended by Gamma Wolf, Serbii, Bufu, Kurtulmak
  • Status: Dead
  • Pairings: Naruto/OC for a chapter or two only though.
  • Synopsis: Time travel. Seals. "A new seal made by Naruto malfunctions when it's challenged by Akatsuki's extraction ritual. Now Naruto has to deal with situations he'd never dreamed of before: a war, a demon attack, Orochimaru, spies and the paradox of his own existence."

Fuzzy Logic by Deritine

  • Recommended by authority02, ultrafan, Robinton
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairing(s): Kyubi/Minato
  • Synopsis: This time, the Kyubi no Yoko is looping. Again and again and again... until it ends up with severe psychological problems.
  • Comments: This story is a wild ride. Unpredictable and often hilarious. A very fun read.

Garden of Sanctuary, by Nes Mikel

  • Recommended by anowack, Kurtulmak, boonerunner
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Naruto/Sakura
  • Synopsis: It's a One-Shot Fic alternate ending to Naruto taking off from the second post-timeskip arc, in which Naruto is imprisoned for the safety of Konoha with Sakura as the only visitor he's allowed.
  • Comments: Tragedy/Romance, spoilers up to Manga Chapter 293 / Shippuden Episode 41. Also has a(n) Interquel/companion fic Medusa Javelin, which retells the same events from Sakura's POV.

Glaring Problems by dogbertcarroll

  • Recommended by Firedamaged
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairing(s): NaruAnko (by way of Marriage stand-in slave contract), NaruHaku ( "Take me to Zabuza and I will be your slave") and Hanabi/Narutroopers (Naruto KageBuns that went rogue and started following Hanabi's orders.)
  • Synopsis: Naruto, sick of the hateful glares of the people of Konoha decides to give them a taste of their own medicine before the journey to Wave.

The Great Romantic by MogtheGnome

  • Recommended by: tcrpgfan
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis: Naruto gives Zabuza's sword to Tenten. Konoha misinterprets Naruto's actions. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Pairing(s): Naru Ten, One Sided Naru Hina and Naru Saku
  • Tags: Crack Fic. Definitely a Crack Fic.
  • Comments: Seriously, the summary basically does this fic little justice. It's one of those rare fanfics where the author uses really tiny add-ons to essentially derail the whole plot of the manga in ways that actually makes sense( Naruto summons Gamabunta to crush Orochimaru Wizard of Oz-style after one of the Sound Four is distracted and taken out of the fight. The reference to Wizard of Oz is completed when the only thing that's visible of Orochimaru's corpse is the hand that is holding the Kusanagi).
    • Basically, Naruto accidentally seduces Tenten by giving her hilariously disproportionate, legendary swords that he keeps collecting. Which comes to include nearly every legendary sword mentioned in canon. All because he doesn't know how to use swords, and thinks "hey, Tenten does, maybe she can use them."

Family is forged one step at a time by CenturionsofRome

  • Recommended by ThisIsRidiculous
  • Status: Complete with a sequel
  • Synopsis: In one timeline, Madara hunted down and enslaved the Kyuubi no Kitsune to his will and wielded him against Hashirama. Two hundred years later, Naruto squares off against a man who seeks to turn back time to claim the Juubi. He wins in the sense that the man dies. He looses in that he himself is cast back in time instead, and without Kurama. In this timeline, two now seek the Bijuu, one young, powerful, and driven by hatred; the other beyond ancient, inherently kind, and only seeks to save his oldest friend in the little time he has left, even if said friend no longer remembers him.

  • Status: Complete
  • Genre: Crack/Humor

Everybody is disturbed and confused, most notably Kakashi, who has to deal with their (apparent) gayness on a daily basis. Note that they are not actually a couple!

  • Synopsis: After Danzo becomes the Fifth Hokage Naruto flees the village. Years later Sakura, now a missing Nin, shows up in the Hidden Smoke village to drag Naruto back to Konoha in her attempt to bring her team back together. One problem, Naruto's got more then a few new priorities. Amazing story, it's as though the author watched every episode of the anime and never forgot anyone.

komorebi by tomorrowsrain

  • Recommended by ThisIsRidiculous
  • Status: Ongoing
  • ''Pairing(s): Hatake Kakashi/Uchiha Obito
  • Synopsis: Komorebi (n) - sunlight filtering through the trees.
  • Comments: The summary of the first installment of this summary says it best: In which Kakashi and Obito survive the Kyuubi attack, get exiled from Konoha, learn how to survive, and still manage to become legends along the way. (The bratty genin are unexpected, though.)

Little Uzumaki by Lucillia

A Lot Like Birds by Boyudo

  • Recommended by Veloren
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: canon ones, past one-sided (fem)Kakashi/Obito
  • Synopsis: Swearing herself against what she believed to be her father's mistakes, but holding those mistakes dear to her heart nonetheless. Learning under the man who became her idol, alongside teammates she grew to love, and losing both. She found friends in unlikely places. Slowly, but surely, broken, she found her way. Through a jar of sake or two. A girl has to cope somehow. (Female Kakashi)
  • Comments: Not quite a crackfic, but close. A recognizably different Kakashi, who still rings true.

Love Lockdown by Lady Silvamord

  • Recommended by CRBWildcat, Glidergun
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Itachi/Sakura
  • Synopsis: Itachi's eyesight is beginning to deteriorate, so Akatsuki abducts Sakura from Konoha in order to reverse the condition. When the two are able to spend some time in the same room without killing each other, the present members of the organization jump to the wrong conclusion and decide to do everything in their power to get them together. Shouldn't be hard to guess what happens next.

The Lunar Eclipse by the point

  • Recommended by Tina Banina 96
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Shikamaru/Hinata
  • Synopsis: One of the most beautiful one-shots I have ever read. The author of this makes this pairing believable. Written from Shikamaru's point of view, it's an amazing extended metaphor. Truly great. Even if you find the pairing strange, you should definitely give it a read. Again, it was just... wow...

The Mating Frenzy by MSkyDragons

  • Recommended by Shay Guy, Unclouded TJ, Tina Banina 96, ultrafan
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Yes
  • Synopsis: Naruto fics don't get much funnier than this shipping parody, in which Konoha's population has become dangerously depleted following the invasion. Tsunade decides on a course of action that'll solve the problem and provide her with some entertainment in the bargain: an S-class mission to every ninja in Konoha, which can be summarized as "be fruitful and multiply." You can guess what happens.
  • Has a trope page

Mating Season by Brightsyde

  • Recommended by Tyranno Storm, Tina Banina 96
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairing(s): Naruto/Harem
  • Synopsis: (from author's summary) "Every several thousand years, the Nine-Tailed Fox lets off an aura irresistible to women, and mates. But now that it's trapped inside Naruto, things are a little more complicated... Harem." Basically, every woman in Konoha tries to jump Naruto's bones by any means necessary.

Moons of Red, by Dark and Chaotic

  • Recommended by Kalvan
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: Anko/OC, Naruto/Hinata Ship Tease, Pain/OC Ship Tease
  • Synopsis: (Author's Own Words): As the events of the manga begin to unfold, will the main course of the plot and timeline hold, or will their presence break the Naruto World apart? Multiple OCs in Narutoverse done right. However, this synopsis is a gross oversimplification. What has happened is that multiple Naruto (and other animated fandom) cosplayers have been stuck in the Narutoverse by some god or other with a rather warped sense of humor, and given powers suggested by their chosen costumes. Then we watch as their very presence causes vast ripples in the timeline.

Monomouth by Ohtze

  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: Sakura/Sasuke, Sakura/OC, background Naruto/Hinata
  • Synopsis:Evrything ends, eventually. Eight years after the war, Sakura's unhinged and Sasuke's obsessed. The fields are filled with corpses. A Uish, Sakura-centric. Incredibly dark, Angst/Horror.

Instead of being passed by Iruka, Naruto is instead granted a merit promotion for avenging his teacher and killing Mizuki — a traitor to the leaf. After that? Shikamaru uses his head. Shino uses his wits. And Naruto uses the advice of his two new friends...

Naruto Chronicles of the 7th: Dissension New Dawn, End of Innocence, and Curse of the Namikaze byRamenRenegade

  • Recommended by Koays
  • Status
    • Dissension: Complete
    • New Dawn: Complete
    • End of Innocence: Complete
    • Curse of the Namikaze: Dormant
  • Pairings: Naru/Saku
  • Synopsis: After Pein's attack on the village Danzo successfully became the 6th Hokage and forced Naruto out of the village. Years later the story begins as Naruto is called back to a village on the verge of war in order to try to stop the Ninja world from falling into chaos as Madara completes his plans.
  • Comments: The series is well written and gives a lot of minor characters, big moments. The 1st Book focuses on Naruto's return to Konoha as the picture is slowly painted of how messed up the world really is. The 2nd focuses on the war being fought between the villages while Naruto and his group try to bring together an alliance to take on Madara Uchiha and the Akatsuki. The 3rd book covers the end of the war as Konoha fights for survival. Book 4 which Ramen Renegade has only recently started takes place several years after the original trilogy and will pit Naruto and Konoha against an enemy with ties to the Namikaze clan. Be warned the other began the series during Pein's Invasion so the story reflects that in some areas.

Naruto Thirteen by Danny vs A Month

  • Recommended by SanDemonMax
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Basically this is Naruto and Shippuden if Minato and Kushina had lived. Got the idea from the sixth movie, mainly because Naruto deserves to have a family and I'm in that kind of mood, and you will just have to read to find out who the new main enemy is. Strong/Smart/not-orphan Naruto, Naruhina, Minato X Kushina, possibly will take requests for others.

O Naruto, Where Art Thou by Andrew Joshua Talon

  • Recommended by Red Fortune, Shay Caron, Grand Prince Paul II.
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairings: Naruto/Tsunami. Very little, and not exactly what you think.
  • Synopsis: A retelling of Naruto, set in a non-specific period of the Colonial War, ala O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but mixed generously with the normal Naruto setting. Ninjas are now elite mercenaries that work autonomously with the states of the Fire Nation and set up like rank and file soldiers. The story blends colonial elements, such as political ramifications of the war, with nearly every aspect of the Naruto-verse we've come to know and love. Told via diary entries, mainly from Team Seven, it expands more and more on the new and interesting world with each chapter.

  • Status: Last updated December 2015
  • Pairings: None, unless you count yanking each other's chains.
  • Synopsis: "Sometimes it's easy to see the familiar in the faces around you. Sometimes it sucks to figure out why." An AU in which Naruto has both his parents and they are awesome incarnate, Sasuke is the big brother in a whole family, Sakura has all her boys, and Kakashi is the best high school teacher never alongside his best friend.

  • Pairings: NaruHina
  • Synopsis: Naruto, after having several odd dreams, steals the forbidden scroll to graduate, and goes through what he calls the "Awakening." Said "Awakening" leaves him with a split personality, intelligence on par with Shikamaru,an army of kage bunshin who, in this case, act the part, and a case of pure insanity.
  • Status: Last updated 9/26/2011. Anthurak stated in the last author's note that he hasn't abandoned the story, but his inactivity let him see many problems with his writing style and come up with new ideas. However, he hasn't shown any activity since that date.

  • Recommended by Jason Carter

Sasuke Is A Moron by Natarie

  • Synopsis: In order to convince Sasuke that a) she is completely over him and b) if she wanted a boyfriend she would have no trouble getting one, Sakura bets him that she can get the most dangerous missing-ninja in the world to admit that she’s attractive. Never mind that the Akatsuki are the deadly enemies of her village, or that half of them are dead. Every bit as cracky as it sounds!

It's a long fun read with each Instalment being over 70 chapters. One of those crack fic on par with the likes of Power Rangers' of Love and Bunnies.

If you want the best laugh of your life pick this fic up, and go on adventures with our three Sues from Texas: Dessie, Kate, and Hannah. Totally deserves it's own Tv tropes page.

Unsung Story of the Inconspicuous by Wrought

  • Recommended by Pigeon Brain

Walk On The Moon by Six Perfections

  • Recommended by Reads-By-Lamplight
  • Pairings: <None yet>
  • Synopsis: In the ninja world Yamanaka Rei lives by two simple tenets. Power is freedom. Freedom is everything. Rei wants freedom and is willing to risk everything to get it.
  • Status: Hiatus as of June 2017
  • Comments: This is hands down the best OC or SI I have ever read, barring a single story from Gladius 1. It's well written with very very few grammar mistakes. It's clever without sounding forced, and it manages to be... gritty, probably isn't the best word for it, without being doom and gloom grimdark. The story is down to earth in an odd way. It makes no bones out of the protagonist's dislike for the effective military junta that Konoha is run by yet at the same time avoids bashing anyone. It presents likable interesting characters who have multiple dimensions as well as their own voices and those characters, especially the main character, have discernible and meaningful character arcs over the course of the story. All in all a good story.

War's Will Of Fire by Walking Maelstrom (Historical AU fanfic, violence, romance, realistic military setting, humour,introspection.)

  • Recommended by Alrune, HirakuJoutei
  • Status: Dormant
  • Pairing(s): Shika/Tema, Naru/Hina, Sasu/Saku (a little), Chouji/Ino and a few more
  • Synopsis: Initially published on deviantART by the author. The Naruverse and the characters are transposed in... World War II (you read that right). An older Shikamaru is a drafted officer that tries to do his job as a soldier the best he can and who also must lead his platoon to victory against the antagonistic Land of the Sound and the bloodthirsty Akatsuki, with the help of the Land of Wind, and his lover/sister-in-arms Temari. First person POV.

War of the Biju by Son Kenshin

  • Recommended by Darth Caesar, Happy Man
  • Status: Completed
  • Pairing(s): Naruto/Hinata
  • Synopsis: Madara has declared War on the nations of the World as Naruto becomes Hokage in the wake of Pain's invasion of Konoha. Naruto has to master the Kyubi to prepare to face him and Akatsuki, which includes his former friend Sasuke Uchiha. Naru/Hina
  • Comments: An interesting take on the Fourth Shinobi World War arc, a large part of it due to it starting in 2010. While the writer has since made the fic align with elements that appear in later in the manga as well as The Last and the Boruto material, War ends up being heavily affected by Acceptable Breaks from Canon. In addition, ALL of the Konoha 12 get good helpings of Adaptational Badass, unlike in canon where it's simply just Naruto and Sasuke getting all the buffs.

  • ''Pairing(s): Hatake Kakashi/Uchiha Obito

Then limps her sorry self home to Konoha, about 3 months after the Nine-tails attack. Kakashi deals with it about as well as can be expected… The Uchiha however, while still being their usual stoic, antisocial, really-messed-up selves; do manage to somehow get their kid back into one piece mentally and physically. At which point Obito takes a long hard look at Konoha, it’s dubious goings on with sanctimonious Sarutobi and backstabbing Danzo and decides to not put up with this shit. An excuse for me to write about:
- a clan solely devoted to war for centuries, then suddenly put in a village and told to police it.- gender politics within said clan, who don't really care what your gender and sexuality is as long as you can still be badass and provide the odd baby.- realistic portrayal of injuries resulted from a fucking bolder being dropped on you.- Kakashi getting more emotional support, the poor boy needs it- The Uchiha having someone at the very back of clan meetings going "wait, what?" when they suggest stupid shit- Konoha right after the Nine-tails attack and how politics went down after Minato's death- And anything else I want to write about really...

  • ''Pairing(s): Hatake Kakashi/Uchiha Obito
  • Synopsis: This is what happens when you get two people with biology/anthropology backgrounds contemplating the environmental stressors necessary to actually cause the development of Omegas and Alphas (with a side of both people having a fondness for kidfics). We’re working on writing a full explanation of how our particular A/B/O world works but, for now, the basics: There are no female Omegas and no male Alphas. There are no heats or knots. Omegas undergo menstruation three times a year, with only a slight increase in horniness beforehand. There are four different sexes in this universe: male, female, omega, alpha. The gender spectrum and sexuality spectrum are just as diverse as in our world. Some words that we associate as feminine or masculine, simply because we only have two sexes, are not necessarily so in this universe. More in depth explanation is at the end of the fic. Just to simplify this universe, “straight” is defined as ‘someone who can get pregnant’ + ‘some who can impregnate’. Think of it as procreosexual instead of heterosexual.

You've Created A Monster by Captainwittyoneliner

  • Recommended by Lyra Dhani
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: The Cursed Seal of Heaven has a very specific purpose—to heighten and aggravate emotions and physical strength. After all, a man obsessed is a man easily manipulated. And there is no one more obsessive than Sasuke Uchiha. Orochimaru is counting on the seal to amplify Sasuke’s need for vengeance and power until he comes crawling to Orochimaru on his own, thirsting for the knowledge to defeat his brother. What Orochimaru didn’t count on, was that Sasuke Uchiha had become just as obsessed with mother-henning his own teammates. Something Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are finding out the hard way. Essentially, as soon as Sasuke wakes up after the invasion, he panics, kidnaps his teammates from the hospital, and locks them away in his apartment.
