After a fuinjutsu experiment gone wrong, Minato is yanked into a future where his family is dead, his team fell apart and the Uchiha were slaughtered. With the defective seal burning in his palm, Minato struggles to stay afloat in a Konoha that isn't his.

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]

When a mere boy can outprank and outrun an entire village of shinobi, it speaks volume about his talent, no matter what his detractors would say. Dragon, ANBU commander of Konohagakure no Sato, understands that well and decides ANBU is the place for Naruto. AU-Ish, ANBU!Naruto.

It was honestly kind of funny that all it took for the path of the ninja world to drastically change was Naruto Uzumaki falling down a hill. The boy at the dock helped him up, and their destined friendship began a few years early. Naruto/Sasuke Friendship ; Team 7 Friendship

Because of the Fourth Great Ninja War, of the deity named Kaguya, the world almost came to an end. However, something odd happened; the past came right before their eyes, and they were living in it. Kurama did what he felt he had to do, but the real question is… who was the one that time-travelled? [Ongoing; Team 7-centric; Time travel; Eventual Romance; Multiple Pairings]

Naruto takes up a job at Konoha's vast archives. What will become of a bored six year-old and a boundless sea of knowledge? Gen-fic, Smart!Naruto.

"Um dear, why is there a stadium in front of our house?" Naruto questioned, looking back to Hinata slowly. Perhaps Boruto had spiked his coffee and now he was seeing things, but then he saw what looked to be like his 12 year old self along with his old team 7 staring at him widely in shock and realized that no, this isn't one of those bizarre dreams of his! Time Travel/Chūnin-Exams

During the Forbidden Scroll incident Naruto was forced to tap into the power of his ancestral bloodline to safe the life of the only person that ever acknowledged him. The reveal of Naruto's bloodline then forced the Hokage to tell Naruto the truth about his parentage. How will finding out the truth change Naruto's Path? Wood-Style Naruto. Strong Naruto. Smart-ish Naruto.

In which the Self-Insert is confident, cheerful and striving for a happy (second) life. Citizens of Konoha, meet little Miss Positivity.

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.)

Naruto would very much like to argue that time travel isn't something that anyone would expect, even from an unknown seal activated by a desperate missing-nin in the middle of the ruins of Uzushio. Team 7 Time Travel AU.

So, dying sucks, but hey, I get a chance at reincarnation with a special power, and that power is 'The Gamer' so that's awesome! But... I'm being reincarnated into the world of Naruto, where giant chakra beasts can nuke you, crazy Uchiha roam who want to rule the world with the power of the moon, a guy who thinks he's a god wants to 'share his pain'. Yup, I am going to die again...

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.

A few AU elements, the Sandaime makes a proactive choice he never considered in cannon. He always knew the environment in Konoha was neglectful and destabilizing for Naruto. He decides to send the boy away with someone who can nurture him. As a result, a more worldly and competent Naruto returns to the leaf years later. His story begins in Konoha, think you know it? Think again.

Life is filled with choices, good or bad you just have to make a call and live with the consequences as best you can. Who would have thought a little leap of faith would lead to this. (First story so starts off a bit shaky but gets better in later chapters) (Harem)

(The Third Hokage was dead. It wasn't enough.) Team Eight knew loss like the seals on the backs of their tongues. They'd been silenced, branded, abandoned, ambushed, left on the enemy's doorstep like a gift—unlucky was their nickname, but they would make it their trade. (The Third Hokage was dead. It was Danzo's turn.) SEQUEL TO: Hoshigaki

It was done. The two biggest secrets in Konoha were out. Now, at max level, and wanted by Konoha, our favorite minmaxer has to do the impossible: Break the Cycle of Hatred.

Naruto's reaction to his isolation is different from canon. How will Konoha deal with a Seal Master Jinchuuriki with muted affect and a perverted streak a mile wide?

Reincarnation. Lovely. At least I have a a powerful Kekkei Genkai and foreknowledge on my side. I want to live to age 30, but nooooo; it has to be a fighting anime with Doomsday plan in motion! Kakashi is a Troll, Shisui can't deal, I'm stalked by an eldritch-ish Aburame and Itachi crashes on my couch now. Say bye-bye to canon! SI Kimimaro. Angst mild/none. No slash pairings

"'Ino, are you ready' Inoichi stood by her side and held her hand. He knew her answer. She knew he knew. But his hand and his voice were enough to steel her mind." OC as Ino. I hope you enjoy this.

Uzumaki Naruto wakes up one day to find out that his life has been turned into a RPG game, thanks to his 'Gamer' ability. What should he do about this? Smart(er) Naruto. Elements of Romance Games included in later chapters, so possible upgrade to M later. NarutoxHarem. Now has a TVTropes page!

Kakashi Hatake never expected an old friend to come back from the dead. Jiraiya the Sannin never expected a second chance to keep a certain promise. And Naruto Uzumaki never expected to come home one day and find a strange woman living in his apartment. Who knew that one small request from the fourth Hokage could change the course of history?[Adventure/Friendship/Slow Burn Romance]

Time travel. Technically, she could consider this the greatest mission she has ever undertaken, or a brilliant opportunity to finally hit the hot springs. (Or, the one where Haruno Sakura really, really needs a vacation).

Secrets, plans and plots all come to ahead. Watch as a fool inspires a prodigy to find peace within himself.

Everyone sees the world differently. Namikaze Minato just sees the world a little more differently than usual. "It's not your chaotic evil alignment that's the problem, Orochimaru. It's just that if you really wanted to be Hokage, you shouldn't have made charisma your dump stat." (the Gamer!Minato AU you never knew you wanted)

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.

Haruko Maito was a ballerina in her last life and finds herself as a ninja in her new one. No, she doesn't understand the connection either. She also doesn't understand why she's alive - if she's even alive in the first place - but she figures that she might as well have a bit of fun for as long as she's stuck on this disastrous ride. SI/OC as Gai's twin.

A min-maxing Self-Insert ruins himself at character creation.

Naruto has been traveling with his mentor, Jiraiya for years. During their travels, his mentor discovers that his prized pupil is the best material generator for his serialized book series. This is the salacious escapades of one, Naruto Uzumaki. [Lemon with a plot]

Life for a ninja could be pretty bizarre, but this took the cake. Gamer fic. Lemons later.

Team 7's first C rank mission ended just as disastrously as Kakashi's first mission as a jounin. Now Kakashi has to deal with the guilt of letting this happen, Sakura has to deal with the loss of her purpose in life, and Naruto has to deal with taking on a teammates ambition. And Sasuke? Well, he's dead.

Naruto and Sasuke's final confrontation has a different ending and it causes Naruto to break contact with Team 7. Nine Years later, after his persistent absence from the village Naruto is called to return. Can Sasuke and Sakura get their teammate back? Can Naruto and Hinata finally have their chance? I don't own Naruto

Gen. SI. She died too early and was born too late. Her existence is a curse, a pebble in a tranquil lake. There is no turning back. There is only forward, to an uncertain tomorrow.

When the Forbidden Scroll Incident takes a lethal turn, Kurama, the Kyubi no Kitsune, is forced to use the concept of Synergy in order to assure his continued existence, even if that means no longer being exactly himself. The expression "The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts" never rang truer. AU. 'Naruto'/Big Harem. Plot with smut. Eventually BAMF OP 'Naruto'.

Dumped into Naruto's body the morning after he learns his signature Jutsu and the truth about why the village hates him, what am I to do? Abuse the Hell out of Shadow Clones. Show Lee what Hard Work really is. And kick some Emo duck-butt. Or I could build a Harem...hmmm. Shadow Clones for the Win! SI!Naruto. Strong!Smart!Naruto. Mature themes. Possible SI!NarutoxSmallHarem

Naruto finds out early on in the academy that he has an amazing talent. He can make Hinata faint! Now he is determined to find all the ways to make her faint. Starts in academy years and ends sometime in their married life.

When the Yondaime said he'd like to try an experiment Naruto Sasuke and Sakura think nothing other than yes please. Only . . . this wasn't the result they had in mind. Poor Kakashi doesn't understand why his new team of genin suddenly have a large disliking for his favourite Hokage, and Itachi isn't having fun figuring out what's wrong with his dear baby brother. TimeTravel Team7

As "Madara" reveals his plan to the Kage Summit, the Raikage has one little question. (Takes place during Chapter 467.)

...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.

After a life-changing event, Naruto meets Kurama early and they become partners...even good friends. With a better outlook on life, he meets many who want to join him and help achieve their dreams and goals together. Among those friends are many beautiful women who have realized just how important he is to them. Smart/Strong Naruto. FemKyu. Implanted Sharingan. NarutoxHarem
