History FanficRecs / NarutoPeggySueFics

** @/EddieCurrent: This is one awesome take on Itachi pulling a PeggySue, and the sequels really plays the ForWantOfANail caused by Itachi's changes to the hilt. Konoha does not get a perfect future, by any means.

* Recommended by: @/KillingCurseEyes, @/UncloudedTJ, @/{{Pthalo}}, Komodo Classic, @{{ahiijny}}, @/{{Pastykake}}
* Status: Dormant
* Synopsis: Due to several different techniques and powers tossed into a pot and mixed up, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke are stuck in an endless GroundhogPeggySue--so, of course they're going to live by their own rules and do whatever they want.
* Comments: Done in the style of one-shots with one per loop, and not in chronological order, so effectively more of a connected series than a WIP, with no cliffhangers.

* Comments: Great grammar, and great dialogue. Naruto and Sasuke's antics when they're together are adorable and/or hilarious. It can be confusing at times trying to figure out where in the timeline each chapter is, but always an enjoyable read. --Pastykake

** Dellanotte: Recommended all the way. The Kakashi who goes back is a jaded, [[UpToEleven even more tragic figure than ever]] thanks in no small part to the hours he's spent carving names into the memorial stone, and while there may not exactly be Sasuke-bashing... There is actually a point where [[spoiler: he would enjoy killing the kid and is planning to]], which likely scares himself more than it does the readers, and so far it's shaping up to be a pretty good fic. Be aware, though, the author is prone to writing [[SlashFic Kaka/Iru]] and has stated it will be the story's main pairing.

Retrograde Motion ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12566900/chapters/28622888]]'' by CrunchySunrise

* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: From sixteen to eleven didn't feel like a big jump until she realized that she was now the best ninja in their class. And that tiny Sasuke hates her for it.
* Comments: Evil crazy Itach sends Sakura back in time to protrct Sasuke. Sakura is not happy, and bored out of her mind by the academy curriculum. Wonderful depictions of refugee culture from Uzugakure, as well as reclaiming pink as a badass color.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26040460/chapters/63325354 Viewing the Wheel from the Spokes]]'' by phoenixyfriend
* Recommended by: Dame-Amaryllis
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: There's a pair of married kunoichi in town, new and strange and adopting Naruto like it's nothing. One's an Uzumaki by blood, and the other by marriage, and Kakashi's swept up into their wake with only a token complaint. They give him an excuse to visit Naruto, and if that means turning a blind eye to the things they do that nobody understands, then Kakashi's fine with that. The Hokage signed off on it, after all, so everything's fine. Obviously.

* Comments: It's interesting how this fic demonstrates the difficulty of a single person trying to change events so that it'd be more favorable, yet the ripples caused by such changes causes long reaching results that you don't expect. Plus, it shows the stress that Kakashi has to go through while changing history. --eagle108

''FanFic/LegacyUndone'' by [=LD1449=]
* Recommended by: [=CrusaderJerome=], {{Tropers/Berix}}

* Synopsis: It was their last, desperate gambit. Their last hope. They pinned everything on a prayer that he could save them...and now...he's not even sure if he can make it count anymore.
* Comments: Naruto sends himself back in time after Tobi wins the Fourth Shinobi World War, sacrificing Kurama in the process. Now, he faces a world far different from what he remembers, and without his greatest source of strength. A deconstructive fic with emphasis on character development and worldbuilding.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9008333/1/ Blind Stars of Fortune]]'' by 100demons
* Recommended by: eagle108, @/{{Pastykake}}
* Status: Dormant (pretty much complete; the author has promised one more chapter, but that has yet to happen)
* Synopsis: Thirty-year-old Kakashi was supposed to have been killed by Pein during the Invasion. Instead, he wakes up in the body of his twenty-year-old self. (It gets a lot more complicated.)
* Notes: Part of ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/37259 Ten Years Gone]]'', recommended below.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9281357/1/ The Element of Time]]'' by rasEnshur1KEn
* Recommended by: W1lliam
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: After witnessing the death of the one he called his brother and losing everything to the Juubi, Naruto is given a chance to return to when it started. Will he and his new ally change things, or will some new enemies ruin what chance that he has? this story is based on yet again
* Pairings: Naruto/Hinata, Minato/Kushina
* Comments: this story starts of at chapter 629 and gos back to naruto's birth hiruzen offers himself up instead of minato and an oc saves kushina by sealing all the exess chakra from kurama in the air back in her. said oc is a pwerfull clan head brom a different dimension that all othe dimensions utimately branch out from called the elder dimension. at the same time a enemy from the same dimension enters in hopes to aquire the rinnegan and the juubi for plans of his own. this is a good story with over half a million words and over a hundered chapters. the way the timetravel is done is via an uber complicated seal that has mutiple rules that have to be obeyed under penalty of death for the oc and undoing the timetravel. two of them being that the oc cannot battle anyone naruto has traded blows with and that said oc has to stay in the same dimension as the one that activated the seal (this being naruto).

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6678938/1/ The Good Wife]]'' by [=ReiraKurenai=]
* Recommended by: @/ArcaneAzmadi
* Status: Dormant; last updated July 2018
* Synopsis: One moment 16-year old Yamanaka Ino was sitting at a ramen stand next to Uzumaki Naruto. The next moment 37-year old Uzumaki Ino was standing in the home she shared with her husband the 6th Hokage and their two beloved children. Suddenly thrown into a life she has no knowledge of, how can Ino deal with being a wife and mother when she's really still just a young girl? What caused her to end up here? And can she ever return to her own life? Even more importantly, will she still ''want'' to?
* Pairing: Naruto/Ino
* Comments: Initially this story seems to be an uncommon concept- a ''reverse'' PeggySue fic. As the story moves on though, it's revealed there's even more to it than initial impressions suggest. The basic concept of Ino attempting to integrate into her own future life raises really fascinating issues, especially her relationship with "her" children. There's a significant mystery element as well and a number of startling reveals, most notably the fact that [[spoiler:"future" Ino has been swapped into "canon" Ino's 16-year old body and they're actually from alternate timelines, not 2 time periods of the same timeline]], which raise the stakes even more. Updated at least once a month, or more.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12794658/1/Son-of-Gato Son of Gato]]'' by Sir Lucifer Morningstar
* Recommended by: Zhassulan
* Status: Dormant; last updated December 2018
* Synopsis: An edgy teenager pretending to be a psychopath pretending to be an edgier teenager pretending to be a bigger psychopath, is reincarnated into the world of Naruto with the powers of the Gamer. Chaos ensues.
* Pairings: OC/Haku, OC/Koyuki
* Comments: Sociopath teenager reincarnates as the son of Gato 4 years before the kyubi attack. Has the gamer power that he uses to boost his charisma and brainwash people into liking him. Creates a religious cult. The MC and the characters in the story are overly dramatic and speak during fights like idiots at the same time telling their enemies all of their plans and thoughts. The author does not know how to balance his own character. Sometimes it feels like he is omnipotent. Yet when the author wants to push the plot in certain directions, instead of being smart about it, he forces MC to act like a moron and debuffes him out of nowhere. While the idea is somewhat good, the execution leaves much to be desired. Also, I do not recommend to read earlier works of this author as they are even more horrible and involve underage smut. Overall I would say that this is a pretty decent wish fulfillment story that an average edgelord teenager can read to make himself feel like he is awesome.

''Fanfic/IAmNOTGoingThroughPubertyAgain'' by [=EvilFuzzy9=]

* Comments: A significantly lighter shade of PeggySue than most of the other recs on this page akin to the style of ''FanFic/ItsForAGoodCauseISwear'' below. Basically, due to forces outside their control Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Hinata from their post canon state all wind up back in their 12 year old selves and immediately throw the timeline out the window. It's a borderline crack fic but it is an enjoyable read none the less and completed at that.

* Recommended by: Dame-Amaryllis

* Synopsis: Alternate versions of Naruto, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Tenzo all go back in time. [[GambitPileup You can guess]] [[HilarityEnsues what happens next.]]
* Comments: The only Naruto Peggy Sue fic that I have read that even comes close to the EPIC ''FanFic/ItsForAGoodCauseISwear''.
