''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/11178 Ode to the Nobody]]'' by uzumaki_rakku
* Recommended by: KomodoClassic
* ''Summary'': A series of oneshots about nameless, faceless ninja who ''don't'' end up in the middle of all the flashy battles. Begins with a Naruto version of "The Unknown Citizen" by W.H. Auden, but really comes into its own with the ones about ANBU and front-lines chuunin.
* ''Status'': Incomplete series.

* Recommended by eduardogranja
* ''Status'': In-Progress
* ''Synopsis:'' Naruto was born five years before the Kyuubi attack and the fox was sealed into his younger sister. His parents don't have the time to teach him, so he looks to others to help him become a great shinobi.
* ''Pairings:'' [[StarCrossedLovers Naruto/Kurotsuchi]], Itachi/Shizuka (Shippuden filler character), [[LesYay Anko/Hana]]
* ''Comments:'' A well-built AU that doesn't sounds too forced and develops greatly, with most of the characters being depicted in a canonical while realistical way. The only set back is the fact that Naruto's progress in comparison to the rest of the cast is a lot more fast-paced.

* Recommended by A-Tisket,A-Tasket
* ''Pairings:'' Gaara/OC & OC/TBD & possibly Kakashi/OC
* ''Synopsis:'' "What makes this story a little unusual is our character's affiliation: they're with the antagonists. One of the bad guys. Two kunoichi from Hidden Sound who have only their village in common. This story focuses on the two of them as they grow apart and take on their own paths and their own stories. But of course those paths... their stories... are bound to one day meet again."
* ''Comments:'' The narration shifts between the two main characters, Tori and Itami. At first the story and the characters come off as Sue-ish, but the author puts it pretty well: "...other traits and whatnot that take away from these slightly Sue-ish traits. For instance, she [Itami] DOES have A personality, and isn't quite as strong as she thinks she is." The same goes for some of the character background. Nothing that's been done in a million other fanfics (e.g. Orochimaru gives realizes that the OC has great potential and decides to give them the curse mark) has happened so far.

* ''Pairings:'' Kakashi/Obito
* ''Synopsis'': Obito wakes up. This is…not how it was supposed to go. (Wherein Obito is broken but not shattered, several [dozen] people want the Rokudaime dead, Rin makes a totally awesome Jedi ghost, and there are balcony scenes but no one is named Romeo. Or Juliet.)
* '' Comments'' this shows a lot of promise and a plot I haven't seen before.

* Recommended by [=TrixieLulamoon=]
* ''Pairings:'' Naruto/Hinata
* ''Synopsis:'' "A partly failed mission caused Naruto and Hinata to switch bodies. The curse can be easily lifted. It's just that, the person who can do it had his head shredded to pieces... by Naruto himself."
* ''Comments:'' A wonderfully written fic. The author has an amazing grasp of characterization and everyone feels absolutely spot on. This fic simply exudes WAFF at times, and is quite romantic and humorous at other times as well. A must read that is definitely worth checking out.

* ''Comments:'' A unique take into the "Naruto unlocks the Rinnegan" plot in which Naruto never actually becomes a ninja, but instead is trained as a monk. Deeply inspired by WesternAnimatIon/AvatarTheLastAirbender, the story is divided in various books and until the timeskip focuses on Naruto's journey to master the five elemental affinities.

Naruto and his friends struggle to find their place in the new Konoha. A cult calls for all ninjas to repent their sins, and Sasuke just wants his revenge."
* ''Comments:'' Despite the premise, this is not a Dark!Fic (though it certainly can become grim at points). It features a wonderful rendition of many of the Rookie 9 (particularly Neji, who gets more development and screentime here than over the whole of the manga), and one of the best Crazy!Sasuke's seen in fanfiction.

No character bashing, though Naruto sometimes comes off as a bit of a jerk (particularly the first time he meets Sasuke). The writing is solid, the fight scenes flow together and don't drag on for pages, and Naruto's character development folds out very well.

* ''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.
* ''Comments'': The story takes a realistic look at what would happen if Sakura suddenly started developing a new doujutsu. It's a very enjoyable read with good characters and Sakura doesn't suddenly become some godlike ninja thanks to her new powers. I highly recommend it. --@/{{Puidwen}}

* ''Synopsis:'' One lesson Uzumaki Naruto taught the world was that glass ceilings are fragile, and limits are only for the fools who believe in them.
* ''Comments:'' As of Feb 10, 2014 this fic is still relatively new, but is great and promises to be be even greater. Not a cheerful fic- the darker themes in the Naruto verse (Ninja paranoia ruining things, ninja loyalty scary in its absoluteness, trust issues there for very good reason) are expanded upon here. You know it's bad when Naruto fears the Third- but really, it's well justified fear.

* ''Summary'': Genma is a very good assassin. He takes a job, takes a life, comes home, repeats. Then one day a stray genin shows up on his doorstep. And then another. Lonely assassin? Not so much. Try resident shinobi den mother. [In which Genma is a (very manly) mother hen, his apartment attracts strays, and all of his (bastard) friends are quite amused.]
* ''Comments'': The one where Genma adopts Iruka, Kotetsu, and Izumo. Adorable.

* ''Pairing(s):'' None yet. Lots of family feels among team 7 though.

* ''Synopsis:'' Naruto was born five years before the Kyuubi attack and the fox was sealed into his younger sister. His parent don't have the time to teach him so he looks to others to help him become a great shinobi.

* ''Synopsis:'' MadaraOC. He was known as the most powerful shinobi in the Fire Country. She was a simple girl, not even a ninja. It was a romance she did not even initiate, yet he would have her pay for it, a price in blood. Pre-canon.

* ''Synopsis:'' "a man dies. and he lives. he is prometheus.

* ''Comments:'' An unique take into the "Naruto unlocks the Rinnegan" plot in which Naruto never actually becomes a ninja, but instead is trained as a monk. Deeply inspired by [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]], the story is divided in various books and until the timeskip focuses on Naruto's journey to master the five elemental affinities.
