Okay this is a challenge given to me by my fellow author Wolfpackersson09 who is also a writer whose stories I also use for my other story. He wanted a story like this for Naruto's world. He wanted to see Naruto and the others of the ninja's reaction to his and several stories and I saw no reason to refuse.

It took a while but I think I figured out a way to work it out. A key should not be needed as it should not be as complex as my last story at least in terms of reading it. Now for setting, this will be taken plus before the time skip in Naruto sometime after Tsunade becomes the Hokage and before Sasuke betrays the village. Personally I wanted for them to be a bit older like maybe after the time skip but wolf wants Sasuke's reactions to some of his stories and I rather not get into after the FSW. So I hope this works out a way we all can enjoy.

I will be trying to keep it as close to cannon as possible but I may add a thing or two into it.

Alright disclaimer; I do not own anything of Naruto nor any of the stories featured in this one. The stories used will be given permission to be used by their fellow authors and will be named when their work is posted.

The Many Lives of Shinobi

When he asked them to meet with him in one of the room in the Hokage Tower Naruto was not sure that they would come at all. But before him sat Sakura, Sasuke, Brushy brow's team, as well as team eight and ten. The only adult there was Iruka who was there because both Naruto and Konohamaru asked him to be there. Speaking of the new academy student, he just came into the room with his two friends Udon and Moegi entered the room. Konohamaru raced up and stood next to Naruto and grinned at him just like his role model at them all. Iruka had a feeling this was some sort of prank especially with whatever was under the cloth on top of the desk on one side of the room. "Alright you two, what did you do?"

Naruto laughed, "What made you think we did anything?"

"Because I know you," was Iruka's responds.

Naruto rub the back of his head knowing that Iruka was right, "Well I guess I should start at the beginning. Konohamaru here was looking through one of his grandpa's old journals to try and understand what he went through as the third Hokage. What he found was a journal talking about that old crystal ball he always uses to keep an eye on the village."

Konohamaru then went and pull the cloth showing the crystal ball in question. Naruto went on before anyone could ask anything. "Anyway when the old man made this is found some incredible."

"So what was it?" Sakura asked, knowing if it was discovered by the third Hokage then it had to be something they have never seen before.

Konohamaru went next, "Grandpa said he was able to see the village but not his village."

"What do you mean?" Kiba asked. "Did he see Iwa or something?"

The pair shook their heads, "Nope, it was still Konoha but it was different" Naruto said confusing everyone.

Shikamaru sighed, "So troublesome, makes sense Naruto will yea?"

Naruto stretched his head, he thought he was. So he decided to tell them what the old man saw. "The old man talked about seeing the village like it was before the Kyuubi attacked. The fourth was still alive and everything. At first he thought he was looking into the past that is until he saw us."

This caused the group to stare at them. "Explain," Shino asked simply.

Naruto nodded, "We were there as genin but the attack never happens. He then said he discovered a way to see something he call alternated realities. He peeked into a few other worlds and they were different in some way. Some major to some very small."

They were stunned at such a discovery. Iruka was the first to recover, "That's amazing! To think such things exist."

Naruto nodded, "Yep after Konohamaru showed me I thought it would be cool to look for ourselves. And we finally manage to get it to work."

Their attention was to the crystal ball at once, "You can see other worlds?" Moegi asked excitedly and she was not the only one.

Naruto nodded with a grin, "Yep I peeked into a few worlds and man was I in for a surprise."

Lee grinned at his friend, "So what youthful world did you see Naruto?"

Naruto got a happy but content look on his face, "I saw a world where I got a brother, or someone who is close enough to be. We trained in a strange new kind of jutsu. I did not look at it for long to fully understand it but I can show you guys later."

Sakura understood why they were here. "You want to show us some of these worlds."

Naruto nodded, "Yep, I figure why should me and Konohamaru be the only one to enjoy it. I want you guys to see all the awesome worlds as well, believe it!"

Sasuke just sat there wondering if he should just leave and get to training. Then he had a strange thought, he was sure that he was not the only version of himself whose brother killed off his family. Maybe seeing some of the worlds he could see different training methods he probably never thought of before. He could also see some battles with Itachi and see if he could find a weakness he could exploit. "I guess I can stick around."

Sakura smiled, "This could be really cool. Who knows how we are different from our counterparts."

Ino smirked at her friend, "Yeah forehead you could end up marring with Naruto while I keep Sasuke for myself."

Sakura glared at her, "Yeah right Piggy!"

Shikamaru sighed, "Troublesome, but she's right. You could end up with Naruto just like any other girl we know or don't know. It is a different world so who knows what we will see."

Hinata blushed thinking of the fact Naruto could end up dating her. 'Maybe this is my chance to show Naruto how I feel. But can I really do it? Will he think I'll really feelings for him?'

Naruto frowned knowing that one or two of the worlds he peeks in had different place where he found love. One world he was older, an adult even and from what he could tell was going to be having a baby with Sakura. It was a shame that version of him would not be there to see her grow up. Then there was that other strange girl he never met before that also had a baby with him. 'I wonder if I will find out who what girl is. It was a shame I died in that one but I could find so much out that I might never have found out before. Like maybe who my mom and dad could be.'

Iruka was worried for Naruto as his biggest secret had the potential of getting out by seeing it. He went up to Naruto as he got ready to start the crystal ball viewing. "Hey Naruto, are you sure this is okay?" he whispered, "Everyone could find out your secret and I don't want you getting hurt."

Naruto glanced back at everyone who was talking to one another all excited. Naruto smiled, "I trust these guys Iruka sensei. Beside I should be able to handle it, believe it."

Iruka smiled and went back at his seat as Naruto started to pump chakra into the crystal ball. "Now I found two ways to show the worlds. One take little charka and we would have to look into the ball to see it but this way we was see the best view." Light shined from the ball and the room around them started to change like they were in a Genjutsu. More detail came into view and every looked around stunned at what was happening, "This is a world I never looked at so hold on to your head bands cause here we go!"

Now I hope that is a good start for this. I will send the next chapter with a story soon but with work and life catching up with me I am finding less and less time to work on stuff like this. Bare with me please because I am doing the best I can. Now I know there are tons of Naruto stories and way too many to chose from as people will be giving suggestion so I made some rules to help make a fair list.

Rule one have to be with Naruto in it. Be it a Naruto only story or a crossover Naruto or characters from Naruto must be main characters.

Rule two, little to no basing. I am not a fan of basing people like Sakura or Sasuke. A little bit is fine but nothing major.

Rule three, I get the final say. If I don't like the story for some reason then I will not add it to my list to read. Sorry if you do not like it but I will not do work I do not like and I am sure you would fell the same.

Rule four no smut. Lemon scenes are fine but I want stories with a plot and work behind it not sex scene every ten minutes of reading.

The rules may change as time goes on but for now that is how they will go. So when the next chapter rolls around, I hope you enjoy. For a preview of what it is check out Shinobi of Winx by Wolfpackersson09 and co-writer shadowwriter329.
