** YMMV. While the sheer amount of effort put into the comic is very impressive, this troper found himself screaming [[CharacterDerailment "You're a freaking ninja!"]] far, far too often.

** The story really gels into a solidly written work when a presumably-dead Naruto shows up on Suna's doorstep with a few holes in his memory and a [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome surprisingly realistic case of mild post-traumatic stress disorder]]. We catch a glimpse of a deeper and more rounded Naruto as the series progresses - difficulty communicating his deepest thoughts due to his lack of social skills, a deeply buried but still present anger at his childhood mistreatment and neglect, trouble shaking the belief that his current life and relationships are one bad day away from taking him back to a friendless and lonely existence... but he's still our smiling determinator, even if it takes some occasional reassurance from his loved ones that he is okay. And that is a guiding light, that even when relationships are thrust into the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-esqe actuality of a shonen anime, they are handled in a relatively realistic manner.

* ''Comments'': If you were hoping for a Naru-Saku ending, this is your stop.

* It has [[Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles it's own page]] which '''seriously''' needs wiki magic love.
* Status: Ongoing[[note]]As of 02/07/2016, there are '''199 Chapters / 3,900+ Pages'''. [[ArchiveBinge Good Luck]][[/note]]

* ''Comments'': There is a great deal of impressive storytelling in this archive. Standing at 2500 pages and counting as of this submission, it rivals any but the largest webcomics you could find on the net today. It's easy to see the artist's evolution throughout the story, as quick, faded sketches with no background become more detailed, with backgrounds and a professional-appearing panel layout. As for the story, it is heavily in the tone of OriginalFlavor, with a healthy dose of LighterAndSofter thrown in because of the emphasis on character relationships. Don't let that label fool you into thinking this is a "Meet-Love-Kiss-Screw" fic; the villains who appear are compelling, the story arcs are top-notch, and characterizations are spot on, with not the slightest hint of a GodModeSue anywhere in the series. In fact, much of the story's strength comes from it's original characters. Note that above I said story arc'''s'''. As in plural. At 1,000+ pages, you are looking at an ArchiveBinge like no other. It is a little slow to get going, but once it does, you'll be hooked. Highest recommendation.

** Let me tell you a story... When I first heard of and began reading NaruHina Chronicles, I thought it was boring, difficult to read and the way it was sketched didn't impress me... But then, months later after more false starts, I was looking at a Gaara/Matsuri group on Website/DeviantART when I noticed that the pairing seemed to be included in the comic... And so I decided to give it one more chance... And I was HOOKED!!! It's true that it's a bit slow at the beginning, but over time, the story was so deep and intricate but still made sense, the romance - with both Naruto and Hinata and the secondary couples - was done great, the characters were kept in character and the {{OCs}} didn't fall into Sue-dom, the plot twists were excellent, and eventually, the little nitpicks I had about it at first disappeared that I couldn't help BUT love it! It was no longer boring, the sketches appealed to me and I got used to the way it was supposed to be read. This is by far the best fan comic for Naruto I've ever read! And it's a LONG read too, so be prepared for it to take up a LOT of your time!

* ''Synopsis'': By the same author as ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'' above, this is to NHC what Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth is to the manga. It's a series of comic strips drawn in SuperDeformed style, focused mostly on comedy, detailing the lives and romance of Naruto and Hinata (though many other characters appear as well, including some Original Characters from NHC), with some fanservice here and there.
