Sometimes, life gives him existential crises. Other times, it drowns him in paint and toxic fumes only for him to wake up in a hospital of a fictional world. Then he realizes he'd somehow hijacked the body of a canon character who got killed by Sakura and shit just got real. All he wanted to do was finish the final project of his art major. Sasori did not sign up for this insanity.

Uchiha Satsuki, avenger, doesn't love anything, or anyone. Not revenge, not tomatoes, and definitely – definitely! – not Uzumaki Naruto. But when she winds up on a genin team with him, she realises there's more to his smile than teeth and sunshine. Female!Sasuke

A shinobi must not value himself but rather adhere to his village's ideals. A shinobi must always put the mission first. A shinobi must never show any weakness. Jinchuuriki are tied down by a long list of both written and unwritten rules of things that they aren't supposed to do. Playing Peek-a-Boo with the vessel of the Kyuubi is probably at the top of that list. [X-posted on Ao3]

Dying sucks. Being reincarnated into the Naruto-verse? Don't even get me started. Self-insert OC story (AU Naruto-verse) (Dark themes) Rewritten

Being reborn into the Uchiha clan during the Warring Clans Era is surprisingly idyllic, so long as you don't mind hard work and are too young to know any of the people who are actually dying. But innocence never lasts, and trying to help family stay alive is a road strewn with a surprising number of pitfalls and last-minute diversions. [SI-OC. Fluff, politics, fix-it.]

Because some things just make no sense and you have to learn to simply roll with the bullshit. Crossposted on AO3

All he was supposed to do in Konoha was collect the reward for the bounty and be on his way. But when Zoro defends some kid from a drunk during a festival, he didn't realize he'd get stuck with Naruto. Arriving in Suna, the pair meet Gaara, who ends up leaving with them when he sadly has no reason to stay. Luffy is overjoyed to get three nakama at the start of his journey...

There's something to be said about being too strong. Once you have the ability to do anything you want, you find that you don't really want to do anything.

Kakashi was content with his life, content with his death. Until of course, he wasn't dead. Kakashi, now known as Kaminari, must now survive a world full of heroes. And naturally, things don't go quite to plan. bnhaxnaruto crossover cross-posted on ao3

A spiteful little man ends up dead and pissed. Finding himself before the judgement of a 'God', and granted a 2nd opportunity at life, he was reincarnated - reborn into the Hyuga clan. Mina now finds 'herself' in a female body with a goal to survive this war torn world to defy and spite the self-proclaimed 'God' she's given the alias 'Being-X'. [Dark/Antagonistic MC] [Semi-SI/OC]

Kasumi Kurosawa thought she had gotten lucky. She was reborn as the daughter of a farming couple, all the way on the outskirts of Fire Country and far from Konoha. She thought she had a peaceful, safe life ahead of her. She was wrong, of course, because things are never that easy - that didn't mean she had to be happy about it, though. SI/OC

When all is said and done, what wouldn't one do to save the ones they love? And when the vicious cycle starts, it cannot be undone. Shout or whisper, all that remains is their echoes in the wind. OC SI AU

The Straw Hats failed and died, somehow passing over to another universe where they became 'Hollows.' Quickly bored of the endless wastes of Hueco Mundo, they try and figure out what to do next, much to the detriment of the peace and sanity of Aizen, Urahara, Soul Society, and the rest of the worlds.

Wherein Ichigo is reborn as Kakashi. (crossover fic)

By the end of the Third Shinobi War, she gained a spot in most Bingo Books with various monikers attached to her name: "Poison Apple," "Bloody Princess," and "The Mad Butcher." However, a small handful of Leaf ninja had another moniker for her: "The Bloody Oracle of Kiri". (Or: An SI/OC who's already got a screwed up moral compass and fits right in with the Bloody Mist.)

Naruto and Sakura have gone insane. Or: Just after becoming Team 7 Naruto and Sakura go through a massive shift in personality, leaving Sasuke out of the loop and wondering what in the name of sanity could have happened to them. His only consolation is that Kakashi is just as weirded out as he is.

A woman from our world dies and then wakes up as an Uchiha brat. Cue freakout and gleeful ripping canon to shreds. Featuring whole Naruto Cast and a sprinkle of OCs. AU, Self-Insert, Fix-It. (And a lot of Canon-Breaking. It's degree of crackishness varies from chapter to chapter, from something fully serious to downright parody at times.)

The first move is always a feint. It's the most basic thing, to land a hit with the second move – or in his case, a second life. Nara Shikamaru is reborn in a completely wrong time and wrong gender, where troubles manage to ensue and give him a monumental headache. Troublesome.

Axel Brandt is a highly intelligent but overall normal guy. He lives a normal life, has a normal engineering job, has normal friends, so on and so forth. But then he died… or not. Displaced and still very much alive, now he's found himself in a distinctly abnormal situation. Ninja are not something he wants to deal with.

Left abandoned by his teammates after suffering a wound during the chuunin exams, Naruto must overcome his new ordeal, but not before promising himself that he wouldn't be weak again. Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto and shonen do

The mission is simple: Infiltrate the most famous hero academy in all of Japan as undercover security, at least until All for One is brought down for good. There are a few steps missing in this plan, Kei knows, but that's not her concern. No, she has a different problem to juggle on top of cultural context, keeping under the radar, and a universe full of superpowers: high school.

At age nine the seal malfunctions warping Naruto's mind and body until he is little more than an animal but like they say, man's best friend, or girl's in this case. What now? Will he recover? NaruxHina SasuxSaku Feral!Naruto

What if the Nine Tailed attacked the village to protect someone? What if that someone was his pregnant lover? What lies ahead for the offspring of the devil and mother who bore her?

Naruto accidentally finds himself in the past, in a time where the Third Shinobi War is still being fought. While trying to prove he is from the future (and trying to change it at the same time), the current Hokage gathers some trusted shinobi to watch his memories... *A watching the series fic* ON HOLD

A girl reborn into the world of ninja wants to escape the cycle of violence. Power is the only thing that brings freedom in the ninja world and she will have freedom... at any cost. However breaking the bonds she forms won't be as simple as she imagines. AU SI.

Some poor schmuck got sucked into Naruto world as Hatake Kakashi. He decided to screw the plot with everything he had. Meet the friendlier, but crazier copy-nin!

Life...What could possibly be the meaning of life, let alone a second chance. I sure as hell didn't know. (Rating: MA. Dark themes. OC as Naruto's older sister)

Kakashi was bound and determined to make sure that he didn't end up with a dead genin or one that went rogue. Plus, he kinda wanted to rub it in the other Jounin Sensei's faces that his team was just awesome like that, even if they didn't know it yet.

Due to a paperwork mistake in God's waiting room, I was reincarnated with my memories intact. No pain, no gain, or so they say. But with a bit of luck, this might just turn out alright.

Kakashi knew he was a pervert through and through, but there were lines he would never cross...and if crying would postpone this miserable process, then cry he would. AU/Timetravel. (Chapters 31-40 revamp in the making)

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. SI/OC-insert fanfic. Rated M for violence, strong themes, and language.

Kaguya won, Kurama has a 'plan', Kakashi's on board. Will a Relatively-Good!Kyuubi, Time travel, a younger stick-up-his-ass (though not for long if Kurama has anything to say in it) Kakashi and a shocked Team Minato be enough to save the world? (First Fanfiction, some angst, no romance, ever-evolving plot!) Previously known as "Kyuubi wants to live - Kakashi time-travel".

Green eyes stare at the group with boredom. Sighing, she holds up one hand as the other rests on her hip. She brings up her index finger. "First off, my name is Haruno Sakura. Not pink-freak," she pauses to rotate her wrist. Bringing down her index finger as her middle finger comes up, "Bitch." [SI-Sakura] [Full Summary Inside]

I was never afraid of dying. I lived my life to the fullest and expected it to be cut short, all because of my dangerous profession. I expected to die young. I expected hell. What I did not expect was for this shit to happen. OC-insert.

I was dead and gone. Nothing was left, and no one would miss me. Everyone I cared about was dead or betrayed me. I never did anything in my life, and all my chances to achieve my goals were gone. So now I will descend into Hell, like I always knew I would, and be tortured for all the wrong I had ever done... Just kidding. Karma's a b*tch!

Ryuto Shota is Naruto's secret identity. It started as a lie he came up with to avoid the villager's hateful stares. Now, it's more his life than anything else. The only question is, how long until his cover's blown? Semi-Strong Naruto, Serious Naruto, Smart Naruto. Rating just in case of future language slips, among other things.

When Naruto wakes up in some alternate timeline decades before he's even born, he is obviously confused. Of course, when he wakes up in someone else's body as well, naturally, there aren't even words to describe how he feels. AU, Time travel, OOC-ness... M-rated for Hidan, screaming, swearing and over-the-top violence. Reader discretion is advised.

"Nee-chan, why?" In her old life, she did everything to survive "Foolish Otouto" In her new life, she will do anything to protect the ones she love "To test the limit of my abilities" Even if it meant having to suffer the consequences that wasn't for her to originally bear "Protect Konoha. Protect everyone. Protect Sasuke for me, Itachi". Like her name, she will endure. SI OC

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)

In a fit of rage, Kurama tries to break out of his prison. He fails, but does manage to extend his awareness to see what Naruto sees. Just in time to see him being beaten by a villager for being a demon. Angry and insulted, Kurama decides that if the village was going to treat Naruto like a demon, he would too, and raise Naruto as his own child.

A Re-write of my original story. Failing again, Naruto sees one Anko Mitarashi taking no crap from the villagers. He wonders how she does and bothers her until she answers him. Anko feels sorry for Naruto and take him under her wing. How will Konoha survive when its number one prankster is trained by its number one psycho?

Inspired by Silver Queen's "Dreaming of Sunshine." Ripples turn into waves and crash upon the shores of what is and what could be, and I was just someone else who got pulled under. I didn't realize that even a drowning person makes waves of their own. A SI OC story.

You wake up in a world not your own; or is it? It doesn't matter. You've come equipped with a bit of science, some modern ideas, and the plot. You decide to figure it out day to day as you go along. OC SI

She should have died. She should have died in that bed, bleeding and screaming. Should have died with Minato.

Isamu Kaizen is born into a nearly extinct clan, he soon learns that his family has the ability to shift their physical selves into any form they wish, because of this power they must keep their existence a secret. But Isamu has his own secret, he is from our world, born only knowing liberty; can Isamu learn to live under a despot or will he rise and change the world? Male SI OC

Shoichi watches his daughter and he wonders. SI-OC from outside POV.

Dying and living again isn't what she wanted, but what she got. Being born to a mother that is not her mother, Hikari drifts along without a real plan but the vague idea that maybe there is some fun to be had with ninja chakra magic. Rated M for later adult themes, crude language and violence. SI-OC, not canon-centric. -ON HIATUS-

She loved him, despite knowing what he would become. He was her brother, her older brother, the one she went to with her problems. Yet there are enemies everywhere, there are expectations. The weight of the village rests in the balance. OC-Insert, Semi AU

Apparently, having previously survived two decades in a world crawling with zombies was a good training experience for his next life as a ninja. Who would've known? Note the sarcasm. [OC Reincarnated as Nohara Rin's twin brother. M/M]

And suddenly because of her, the Naruto series was maybe twenty-five percent less canon than before but that was okay - she was making it work regardless. SI-OC as Naruto's twin. Alive!Minato. Zabuza Genin Team: Haku, Shiki, Kimimaro.

Her first mistake was seeing people who weren't there, her second was realizing that they weren't people, and her third was acknowledging either of those facts. It was only too sad that her abnormalities didn't end there - being able to wield other peoples zanpakutos was another problem all together. Especially since that shouldn't be possible. Able to see bankai spirits!SI-OC.

Because you have no idea how irritating hearing the thoughts of the people around you can get. Especially when they're concocting villainous plans and tend to mentally laugh manically. SI-OC. Yamanaka Kekkai Genkai Mutation!OC. Shikamaru/OC

Because she was Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Madara was her, and try as she might there was no changing that. SI-as-fem!Madara. Hashirama/SI-fem!Madara.

Out of all the kekkei genkai she would have liked to get, the eyes of Samsara wouldn't be her first - or second - choice. So naturally, that was the exact one she got. SI-OC/Itachi. Uchiha!SI-OC. Rinnegan!SI-OC.

Reincarnation is a fickle thing. It doesn’t care where you go to, even if it’s whole new world. But it did allow Tier Harribel another chance in a new life. Now as Uzumaki Tier, she will find a way to complete her dream where no one has to fight anymore. But first she has to help raise her brother and talk her best friend out of committing a massacre. How hard can it be?

Where there is Hide, there is hope. And this weird idea that Kaneki is not a monster, just a kid who needs to go on a smoothie diet and watch more Full Metal Alchemist. And Kaneki hopes this might actually work. Based on Research and Smoothies by Timeless tears with permission. Canon typical warnings

He tells me humans are selfish creatures. He tells me they're greedy, cruel, arrogant, and naive. He tells me I'm different, and he'll make me strong. He tells me one day we'll have revenge on the hand life had dealt us with. By making me the strongest. He tells me, I'll see why, when they finally come for us. And we'll destroy all who threaten our freedom.

Kakashi survived his losses in spirit as well as in body, and having learned both wisdom and intellect from his experiences, he now seeks to pass those traits on to his students. 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.

Kakashi dies to Pain's attack and wakes up in another world. It's a world where Kakashi hadn't failed Obito's final wish and sacrificed himself for Rin's sake instead. It's a Konoha too similar, yet so different that Kakashi can't bear to impose. So he doesn't – not as 'Kakashi', at least. Dimension Travel.

Petunia performs a bit of accidental magic. It says something about her parenting that Uchiha Itachi is considered a better prospect for raising a child. Young Hari is raised by one of the most infamous nukenin of all time and a cadre of "Uncles" whose cumulative effect is very . . . prominent. And someone had the bright idea to bring him back to England. Merlin help them all.

I died covered in blood, and was reborn covered in blood. This is a cycle I can get used to... [SI/OC]

Orochimaru finds a different way to gain a body with the Sharingan. It doesn't turn out the way he expected. [Self-Insert fic, cross-posted from AO3.]

A reincarnated soul finds itself stuck between a short-tempered Senju princess and a perverted Dead Last—all while stuck in the mind of the series's infamous, sociopathic snake. Foreknowledge barely means anything when the pieces of the plot have yet to begun. Reborn!OC

Don't you hate it when you wake up and you don't know where you are? Me too, except I woke up in another universe. A semi SI OC story.

Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert. No pairings.

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, I was screwed. Second, I got somehow reborn as the twin sister of Kaneki Ken. And third, the world was wrong. [SI, Self-Insert/OC-Insert]

After living an exciting second life, she expects nothing less than the calm embrace of death, yet she is reborn ... again! And after receiving her Hogwarts letter, she feels as if the universe is pranking her. Nontheless, Rosa looks forward to Hogwarts and the fun she will have exploring magic. SI-OC, rated M for violence, probably. Follows book storyline.

It takes a spark to start a fire, a spark to light a pyre and watch as the flames consume everything in their wake. But now only the ashes remain, and embers are feeble little things carried by the wind. Who knows, if fate wills it so, perhaps a stray ember will set the forest ablaze. (Rated M for swearing and violent themes). SI/OC.

Kaelys had never been a normal child. Trapped for two years in an asylum, she however manages to escape. When she wakes up in a world much different from her own, she realizes that she can no longer afford to be weak, and sets off on a journey with only one goal in mind: to be free. "They cut off your wings before you could even realize you had them. How pathetic is that?"

SI/OC Her name is Kazeshini Uzumaki and she was born even before Madara Uchiha was around, she doesn't want to fight head on and so fights as an assassin, she's a dauntless sword user who carries a nodachi a few inches taller than her, and she's a girl who really just wants to bear hug the ever adorable Naruto and he isn't even around yet. Self-Insert (Rating has changed to M)

Kaguya Mayuri suspected that if she hadn't known the truth, she would have been taken in like every other strangely devoted follower of Orochimaru. She reminded herself that she had the advantage here. After all, she knew his game and she knew just how good he was at it. So she would just have to play it better. OC/SI reincarnation fic

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.) Time travel.

It all started with a smell. That had been what made Shikamaru take notice of Naruto. Some things about the 'boy' just didn't add up and the more Shikamaru thought about it the more he began to wonder what Naruto wasn't telling people, and, if Shikamaru was correct, why was Naruto hiding it in the first place? The genius just hoped he was right otherwise things could get awkward!

"Can it get any worse?" Yes. Yes it can. It can always get worse—especially if your name is now Casca. SI!Casca

In which a plot is demolished because a dimple-cheeked baby gave Obito a gummy smile, and then proceeded to raise a minion army with hugs, cuddles and an assortment of saccharine treats. Uchiha SI/OC Elder Sister

What if you woke up to a role so completely unfitting and with a future already made? With a contrasting mindset, knowledge in a convoluted mess and ambitions steered a different direction, this only completed the odd assembly that was the new Haruno Sakura. Welcome to her life. OC Self Insert.

Naruto Self-Insert. Just because you find yourself in Konoha doesn't mean you forget every other anime you've seen.

She couldn't remember if she was a little girl, a grown woman, or some kind of wild beast. All she wants is what everyone wants- a purpose, a reason to be. The day she meets the man who embodies the ocean, is the day she chooses the path she will take in this life. Because it wasn't about her. Maybe it never was. Gen. SI/OC

To deserve all this shit in her last life, she had to be the sort of person who stood on top of a transmission tower during thunderstorm in wet, copper Darth Vader's cosplay, shouting "All Gods are nitwits!" Now, all she could do was behave like a little gremlin and try not to die (apparently contains tons of adorableness, fluff and jocularity - or so I'm told)

Next time I get reborn I want a human body. Not a giant orange fox. SI-OC!Kurama

When a thief by trade is reincarnated into the toddler body of one Raiga Uzumaki, missing Godson of Tsunade Senju and Jinchuriki of the Nanabi no Kabutomushi he understands one thing: this was gunna suck. Still, he mused, there was so much he could do for the people of this world! He could stop everything before it- Nah. Let's just mess with the main characters. (Up for adoption)

It's not all that likely to be reborn in the Narutoverse. And it's definitely not likely to go back time in the Narutoverse after being reborn there. So then why, pray tell, does it still happen? AU / Sequel of Sakura / Time travel.

Funny thing about being reborn in the Naruto world... SI/OC insert. Crack treated seriously and realistically.

I have the worst luck ever. First off, I die. Then I get reborn into the Naruto universe. Yay right? WRONG. Nobody ever said you get to be reborn into Konoha. Which makes finding out where I am in the story line that much harder. I don't know if I can change anything, or if the bloodbath is far behind me. One thing's official though. I'm screwed. SI/OC Warning

Naruto finds he is flung back in time and must repeat the entire Chunin exam over and over and over, until he gets it right and possibly saves Konoha in the bargain.
