Eight years ago Naruto Uzumaki disappeared. The four-year-old simply vanished into the night. Now a strange man has come forward with a most unique deal. A deal that could change Konoha and the Elemental Nations forever. Journey with Naruto and his mentor as they face any threat the world can throw at them.

A storm is brewing. Casting a black shadow over the world, threatening to incinerate it and scatter its ashes to the winds. Humanity's only hope lies with a young boy. A boy sacrificed for their protection, yet condemned to a life of hatred and abuse. Will the pariah become the savior? Or will mankind be cast into oblivion by a monster of their own creation?

It isn't Sasuke that Orochimaru wants, but Naruto. And she'll do anything to get him. Naruto x Fem Orochimaru I don't own Naruto

Born from tragedy, Naruto Uzumaki is a cursed child. As an orphan taken into the Uchiha clan due to a bizarre development with his eyes, he once again learns what it is like to have a family. Forced to make an impossible decision, he does his best to do right by those he has sworn to protect...even if that entails his death. (Sharingan Naruto. Female Itachi).

"My sword is yours in victory and defeat", Naruto remembered pledging those words to the Second Mizukage as he became one of the feared Seven. He swore to defend Kiri, to protect its people and serve its Kage until his dying breath. But he also made another vow, one more dear to his heart: "Family. Duty. Honor". Now he must choose: A Path of Honor? A Path of Duty?

A twist of fate sends Harry down a much darker path. The question is not how far he will fall, but how many others he will take with him.

Uzumaki Naruto grew up with lofty goals, guts, and determination. Instincts of a born fighter made him grow; duty to his home drove him. As the battle lines begin to blur, he must find a way to reconcile all he's ever known with the man he hopes to become. Large AU.

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

The first time Ichigo met a Shinigami, he died. Quickly realizing that Soul Society is no heaven, he aims to make it into one. However, turning a dream into reality is a long and difficult journey, especially if you are Kurosaki Ichigo and you stand in the center of everything. A long story of adventure, drama, conspiracies but also action.(Pairings not a main focus)

What if Ichigo couldn't bring himself to use Mugetsu? 11 years into the future, Ichigo finally succeeds in cutting down Aizen, but the price was too high. He couldn't protect anyone, and his deepest wish is to see his friends one more time. When the unexpected happens, he gets a second chance. Time travel / Hueco Mundo centric / All powers OP Ichigo / Lovecraftian

"Abandon your fear Ichigo, face forward. Move forward and never stop. Retreat and you will age, hesitate...and you will die. Together, we will ascend and tear the very heavens asunder." With a better connection to his zanpakuto than we have seen before, Ichigo will finally fully realize his vast potential. BAMF Ichigo

Part 1/3: 'They made the biggest mistake of their lives: they forgot Aizen always had a back-up plan, with it usually being far worse than the first'. Dark Fic. Canon Divergent. Rated M (for violence, horror, torture & non-con). There's a fair amount of MxM and MxF, but pairings are unstable (for now). Rating located before start of each chapter for safety. Proceed with caution.

Really, how much can small things affect the world? Little things like the colour of someone's hair? Their Mentor? Maybe... their date of birth?

Many have heard the story of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, but barely any have heard the story of his brother Naruto Ōtsutsuki, the Elemental Sage. God-like Naruto.

What if Yhwach saw the potential in Ichigo when he was a child and decided on a different course of action for the war? "My son, born into darkness... you shall be raised in the light."

When Naruto is given a gift considered legendary even in a world where walking on water is a daily occurrence for some, will it lead him on a path towards peace or will the consequences of said gift leave a hole in his heart too large to fill?

Kurosaki. A name that he held in reverence, and a name he'd tried to live up to. It had been his own, but...no more. He couldn't be a Kurosaki any longer. He'd long since lost the right. He could place the blame elsewhere, Aizen was the start, but he wouldn't. It had been he that had failed in the end. He was the reason they died...but...he would make it right. No matter the cost.

In unity lies strength; each leaf is important or the beauty of the tree is lost. Some bonds, however, are difficult to forge and even harder to keep. The tide of blood nears, drums thunder, and three Genin stand tall as the world spirals into madness. [AU]

One decision can change the world, but it's not as easy to change it back again. To his shame, Itachi saves his brother at the cost of losing his village. Now the shinobi of Konoha are enslaved or scattered, hearts full of vengeance but bereft of hope. As for Naruto, he is finally acknowledged... by Madara. When the battle lines are drawn, how will he know where to stand?

Kurosaki Ichigo somehow lands himself back in the world of the dead at one of its most critical junctures. Due to a bureaucratic mistake, he ends up in the last place anyone expected. Chaos ensues. Post Soul Society Arc. Original Story. Sequel to Guardian and Guardian Rising.

AU. Time Travel. Snape goes back in time, holding the knowledge of what is to come if he fails. No longer holding a grudge, he seeks to shape Harry into the greatest wizard of all time, starting on the day Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley. No Horcruxes.

Naruto has failed the third attempt at his genin exam. Mizuki offers to pass him if he steals the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage Tower. Things go wrong and Naruto is captured in the act. Chapter 25 A Mission to Sand Part 3 Resolutions

Naruto Uzumaki is one of the strongest ninja in the world today. But everyone has their limits. Can he survive ANBU or will it defeat him first?

What if something made Naruto the dead-last that everyone sees him as? What if he really wasn't as weak as he seemed? The true Naruto, unleashed upon the shinobi world! AU Story starts at Invasion of Konoha arc and continues onwards.

Ichigo enters Soul Society thinking he has the Shinigami figured out. But he's about to encounter a whole new world, and that's never so simple. Caught between his disgust with their hypocrisy and their strange sense of honor, he struggles to remind himself the only thing he knows: these people want Rukia dead. Then he realizes he doesn't even know that. Sequel to Guardian.

After the disastrous chunin exams it wasn't Sasuke that left the Hidden Leaf in search of power. Instead, Naruto, in a fit pain and rage after learning that Sasuke got all the credit, again, leaves the village vowing on his Ninja Way to never let Sasuke achieve his dream of killing his older brother. After all Sasuke stole his dream so it was only fair. Start from Konohamaru's POV

"Her face. I remember her face." A boy trained to kill is brought into the light. Grey, different Naruto heavily stealth based and Root trained, but not in the traditional sense. How will he cope with that most dangerous of foes: emotion?

There are truths and lies scattered in the shadows of the leaf. Conspiracies and secret meetings, decisions and backstabbings. The plot twists until the point where there is no ally, and no enemy. Only yourself, and your trust. Face the harsh truth: in the midst of the shinobi world, nothing is what it seems. Naruto is born five years prior to canon, and from there...!NidaimeNaruto

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?

Kurosaki Ichigo is a boy with a dark past, pretending he wants normality instead of a second chance. The most important thing he's always had is the instinct to protect his sisters. But when their lives get caught up in a battle of the heavens, he's going to have to face things he didn't believe in and get that second chance whether he wants it or not. Canonical character study.

Naruto was born hundreds of years before canon, living that entire duration due to a tie to the biju that runs deeper than any jinchuriki. AU with an, obviously, quite strong Naruto.

Two years after being trained as children to fight against Kumo and Iwa, Team 7 is forced to leave Naruto for dead. Ame rescues him and takes him in as one of their own. What will Naruto do? Slight Dark Akatsuki!Naruto

Haku is alive, barely, after the battle at the bridge. With his master, Zabuza, dead and a team of vengeful hunter ninja close on his trail can he hope to last long? Haku X female OC. Please read & review, all comments and advice are appreciated.
