Thrown into a new world, Naruto Uzumaki does what he does best: cause as much chaos as possible while climbing to the top. Hokage may be out of his reach, but that doesn't mean he can't set a new goal for his life.

Uzumaki Naruto was born to be a shinobi. He was supposed to be a killer; a protector of unparalleled skill. His lineage and the demon in his gut ensured that. In canon, his growth was stunted. In here, he had a reason to be strong. He has to survive. AU.

It was just a simple good luck wish. This innocent moment created a connection between two lonely children years before destiny intended. This unintended new connection will change the course of history.

Sometimes it's easy to see the familiar in the faces around you. Sometimes it sucks to figure out why.

WIP An unconscious Iruka forces Naruto to return to the academy for another year. It also marks the beginnings of a prank whose far-reaching consequences will shake Konoha to its foundations.

Naruto is one of the most talented shinobi to have ever graced the ninja world in the past five hundred years. Sadly, he uses his brilliance to get out of work rather than do it himself. Too bad having a fox in your gut complicates things... AU. Mysteries abound. "Suspension of Disbelief" required because of absurdity.

(AU) [Rationality, meet Naruto] - Anko never wanted to lead a genin team. Sadly, the Hokage isn't okay with that; he hands her Naruto, Hinata, and Shino and orders her to "make them the best ninja and, more importantly, the best *people* possible." She's got her work cut out for her. M for combat and occasional cursing.

Hiraga Saito is a fleshed out character. Louise Françoise isn't happily whipping people. The summoning ritual does precisely what it says on the tin, summoning creature to be branded and then enslaved by the influence of the mark. There is nothing happy about it. Familiar of Zero, with 'For The Laughs' removed. How bleak are things, really?

Because she was afraid, she decided she couldn't help clear SAO, but her friends kept trying anyway. They kept trying, and they died for it. Still, she's safe now. She could wait for others to clear the game and send her back home, but just as she couldn't stand that fear before, she can't stand being so safe now. Her name is Sachi, and she's picking up her shield once again.

Naruto has an unpleasant encounter, and gains an equally unpleasant power. But how much of his power is gifted, and how much is his own?

Naruto's life the way it would have been if he was placed in a team with a sensei who truly cared for him and teammates that would slowly learn to accept and treasure his existence.

Book One of Four. Who knew the path to greatness lied in one's own death? Naruto's blood has an ancient secret, and with a rescued Sasuke by his side, can he use that secret to confront all that is evil in the world? Soon, everyone will know of the Fuujin

Naruto has been keeping dangerous secrets for years. A long-forgotten dream that just won’t die, an ally he shouldn’t know and a friend no one thought he had are what keep him going. Graduating is the least of his problems…

They've been there. They've done that. And they didn't even get a shirt to prove it. Reload - because sometimes things are just as they seem to be, and at times they are even more.
