Can Konoha survive this trio? Can the world? Please read and review. truly, Christopher Scott: A Gentleman Thief

Senju Hashirama's dream to unify all of the warring clans of his country under one village remained just that; a dream. Generations later, the ninja world still consists of pure clan affiliation. Enacting peace through understanding has fallen to the side. A catalyst is needed for any kind of change to occur, and it is all found in a little boy... for better or for worse. AU.

What if Sakura unintentionally develops a personality similar to Uchiha Obito's? How would Kakashi feel upon seeing her wear his goggles? What if Kakashi mentors Sakura out of nostalgia for his old teammate, and she learns the chidori instead of Sasuke? What would happen when Tobi finds out? (Not a time travel/self insert but follows & changes Naruto storyline. DARK plot/adventure)

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.

Blind loyalty is simple. The problem only begins when the world makes you open your eyes. Sakura-centric, AU, pre-timeskip.

Why is my teammate so broody all the time? ...why is our Sensei reading that perverted book? Why are there NINJAS—OH MY GOD! LOOK OUT FOR THAT SNAKE!" A story of a girl who knows too much. SI-OC

Even with the world's most powerful demon in your stomach, saving the world is not that easy. Any young ninja who wishes to survive to fulfil his ambitions must first learn that some problems can't be solved with any amount of chakra, and that battles are decided by the time swords are drawn, not when they are sheathed. (Rational!Naruto)

I started out as a girl without memories in a foreign land, and life took a turn for the worse after that. Sakura-centric.

Story emphasis is on tactical fighting, mind games, adventure, and the occasional bout of humor. GenFic, no story stealing OC's or creepy romance between children. Current Arc: Jashin Needs YOU.

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.

Hatake Kakashi was a shinobi, and as a shinobi, the only people who could give him orders were his military superiors. The idea that a Council made up of civilians and peers was under the impression they could give him orders...displeased him. Or: He was ordered to pass Team 7. He was fine with that, until they actually passed.

Crackfic, AU. The Third Hokage granted Uchiha Itachi's request to spare the Uchiha children, only to realize too late that they were all horrible devil children. Literally. Which may be why Naruto fits right in with the rest of the little monsters Sasuke's too busy raising to brood.

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

Naruto Uzumaki is a goth girl with blood red hair, tattoos, and an axe guitar. She has an ocean of chakra, a killer other half, and a gross bloodlimit. Fuuinjutsu & rocking out are her calling. But those hobbies aren't enough to save her from her inner darkness. She must grow and learn to become better, someone that she herself can like. A slight yuri/DarkfemNaru & OC centric AU.

(AU) There are many things that make a great ninja. Sakura Haruno may not be physically strong, but she is quite intelligent for her age, and she wants to be a great kunoichi like Tsunade. While practising her espionage skills at 10 years old, she uncovers Naruto's dark secret...which may very well lead to a more coherent Team 7... (No Sakura-bashing here. Don't like, don't read)

Sasuke Uchiha could never quite understand how a boy two years his junior somehow managed to get into the academy and remain there despite dead-last status. Suffice to say, he's in for quite a shock when said little boy hands him his ass. And that, as they say, is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[FaNoWriMo 2017] Not one. Not two or three, but several. Most. And then eventually all. At different times, different clans take an interest in a pink-haired, green-eyed little girl who, by actions and intelligence, should be labeled a genius. COMPLETE.

Basically, its set in an alternate reality where ninjas are replaced with gangsters in a 1920s industrial city, with multiple mafia groups running different districts, and practice the art of alchemy. The story takes place after a nine-headed hydra attacked in the territory of the Foglia Family, and focuses on an orphan boy named Gelato Vortice, a troublemaker with big dreams.

It's easier to break than mend. And so, for everything she learned to heal, Sakura learned a thousand times to end.

At night, Sakura dreams of people she's never seen before. The blond boy, chained to the wall of a cell and housing unimaginable power within his body. The dark-haired boy, with bright red eyes and bruises all over his skin. The pale killer, with a cold heart and blood all over his hands. She has no idea how they're all connected, but she's determined to find out.

Sakura wanted to die. Sasori was fine with staying dead. But it seemed fate had other plans for them, because when they both wake up younger with blood pulsing through their veins, they had to remember how to live again. Time Travel AU

No one was really prepared for the strength of a child born in the time of eclipse, not even the immortals knew what to do with her endless strength. She is not her father's daughter, she is her mother through and through.

For generations Team 7 has produced some of the greatest shinobi of their age. Their legendary feats moulded not only Konoha but the entire shinobi world into what it is, for better or worse. They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions but its the road to heaven that goes through hell.

...is actually a fairly common trick in the circus. It's also the closest equivalent to going backwards in time. So why should only one person go back in time if anyone who knows how can do it? It's just like walking backwards on a tightrope. And more than one person in a war-torn world of Ninja wants to change things. To fix things. Time travel fic.

"At least the other clan kids of the series had something to protect themselves with practically from birth. Sakura was blessed with the oh so helpful gift of a larger than average forehead." The remedy is often worse than the disease it cures. I refused to be that remedy. OC-insert as Sakura Semi-AU

Post-4th-War-Hokage!Naruto and Boruto timetravel fic.

There are far-reaching consequences for everyone when Ino doesn't befriend Sakura as a child, not the least of which occurs when Sakura's two personalities disassociate from each other completely.

The war for dominion is a subtle thing waiting to erupt as the Old Gods and their agents begin to awake.

Pairings undecided.

The burning in his chest and racing of his heart made it so painfully clear. It could all be over right now. Only inches prevented it. Naruto was so blissfully ignorant. All he had to do was reach out and sever the ties, and then it would end. The agony. The lies. All of it could end with one fell stroke, and as his blade neared only the bonds of brotherhood stayed his hand.

Hinata swore to not return to Konoha for several years after THAT incident. Fate forces her hand, and soon she finds herself having to face the very situation she had run away from. ..."Why?"..."Because I needed to stand on my own." NaruHina, some NaruSaku...

It all started with curiosity getting the better of a civilian girl when she decided to say "hello" to the most hated child in Konoha. (This is probably going to turn into a crack fic lol).

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.

Look into the life of Team 7 with a different sensei on a completely new adventure. Familiar faces in different positions. Just saying it here, I do not own the Naruto franchise.

Puppeteer Story: For Naruto it was simple; He was going to become Hokage and his village held the tools and records to make his dream a reality. Still, the pressures are mounting and for a rookie the opposition does not sit and wait. Will he hold onto his destiny, or will he be just a puppet in the hands of those that seek the Ninetails.

An AU where Naruto says what needs to be said and knows what needs to be known. He is every bit as wily as the fox whose power he draws upon when things get tough. Jiraiya's been around upholding his duties and Naruto has benefited appropriately. I've taken considerable liberties with the world at large, so the geography, politics & etc are new and I think rather original. Enjoy.

(Being rewritten) Naruto's chakra is warped at birth. Instead of strengthening his body and mind, it shrieks and wails like wind through his coils. Thrust into a war of ruthless shinobi and roaming Bijuu, he'll need the resolve to fight through his greatest weakness and survive- or, the determination to make it his greatest strength and win.

The path of the last of the Uchiha, and the world itself, will be altered forever.

It was a popular topic that civilians liked to gossip about whenever they were short on drama.

He was left broken from the death of his parents. The one man who had salvaged the pieces burned to ash in front of his eyes. At times, he questioned the meaning to life. But who knows? Maybe these three little Genin might show him the answer. (Team 7 AU) Sensei Naruto.

Our heroes did not come from a future where everything has gone horribly wrong. They did not travel back in time to save the world from a bleak or miserable fate. As a matter of fact, all they want to do is find a way back home as soon as possible. [cracky, epilogue-compliant time travel fic] [Now has a TV Tropes page!]

Time travel, the ultimate hoax to cheat in life and turn bad odds to your advantage. Or, it would be if Naruto had any idea what he was doing. Trying to save lives he holds dear, he somehow ended up as an international S-class criminal with a flee-on-sight order. Oops.

Strange old people in caves are generally to be avoided in the fairy tales Sakura has grown up reading. But the offer of training from one old lady in a cave in the Land of the Waves not only makes Sakura throw caution to the wind, but teaches her that power comes to those who seize it.

He just wants Team 7 back, and maybe he'll even save Konoha in the process.
