Naruto was born with hair as red as his mother's, but with a face and intellect that paralleled his father, the Fourth Hokage. Will the revolution he brings be the world's salvation or destruction?

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.

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.

A small twist of fate made him aware of his heritage; unsealing the legacies his parents left behind. Graduating from the academy at age seven, he's well on his way. He found a kindred spirit in Uchiha Itachi, and his cousin Shisui's along for the ride. They're on the path to unsealing the legacy left by their ancestors, both the dark and the light. Next chap teaser in AO3.

What if Rukia had never shown up and given Ichigo Shinigami powers? What if the hollow killed him instead? How would this affect Aizen's plans of betrayal? Ichigo finds himself eaten by a hollow shortly after death and awakens within the desolate realm of Hueco Mundo as a Gillian. With only fragmented memories of his past life, he struggles to achieve purpose. Ichigo/harem

Things did not turn out well at the last second, so of course Urahara has a reset button. Suddenly, Ichigo is once again a nine year old boy watching his mother get attacked by a hollow. My own take on a Bleach time travel fic.

Isshin Kurosaki died years ago, and Ichigo has been living with his mother ever since. Life seems normal for him, until one day, he meets Rukia and is thrown into the spiritual world. Under the tutelage of a very shady shopkeeper, Ichigo becomes a shinigami. But things are not as simple as they initially seem… AU retelling of Bleach, major changes to canon plotline. [On hiatus]

...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.

There are many definitions of the word shade. All of them reside in darkness.

In which Harry goes to Beauxbâtons instead of Hogwarts. Butterfly effects ensue, with Voldemort reviving without opposition from Harry, Dumbledore trying to save the situation and Fudge making everything worse. Meanwhile, Harry learns French. (Twist on the cliché and a slow-going Independent!Harry)

Mired in the falsities of the ultimate illusion, Naruto tries a desperate gambit to restore the world. He failed. [NarutoMirajane] [Mature Themes]

(5/7) It is a dark time for Harry Potter. Voldemort is secretly amassing power, and only Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix opposes him. Abandoned, libeled, loathed and reviled, Harry has few allies and fewer options. Harry must learn to control his powerful and mysterious emerald trance; if he cannot, Harry will be consumed by darkness. (AU Slytherin!Harry)

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]

9-year old Ichigo lived and died about 100 years ago. Sent to district 78 of South Rukongai, Inuzuri, you can guess who he'll meet. He was the one who changed her world. But now he's going to change it, right from the very beginning. Perhaps in death, they'll find happiness. It is but the next great journey...

Without the Root the Great Tree would fall. In order for it to stand strong, changes must be made. Namikaze Naruto must battle for his own identity as he steps out of the shadows to bring the teachings of the Root to the very top. He has no room for weakness or hesitation. When you slit a man's throat in the name of the village, you do not falter. Even if it is your own.

The tears of a child can melt even the coldest of hearts. Sasuke Uchiha learnt it's impact when his brother sacrificed himself...Now he's about to do the same.

Aizen's scheme to achieve godhood was flawless, as it stood. But the blade of fate has a way of jamming the most intricate of machinations. Aizen had not accounted for the unexpected appearance of a skinny, silver-haired deputy shinigami - nor for his infallible ability to cause trouble everywhere he went.

The old man survived the invasion and acknowledged Naruto's services to Konoha. How would the shinobi world cope with a Naruto who realises his full potential and becomes the splendid shinobi only few believed he could be?

In the aftermath of the Kyuubi attack, the Leaf Village was left without it's Third Hokage. Now, thirteen years later, a very different shinobi world marks the landscape. In a land where mercy is weakness, and the balance of power grows ever more rigid, one Uchiha stands alone in his quest for recognition.

Ichigo lost more than just his mother at the age of nine. Now seven years later, he is no longer the smiling, naive boy he once was, but is in fact something far, far darker. Warnings in Chapter 1. Villain!Ichigo

AU: In the toss of a coin destiny is changed. Instead of a demon's might the power of science is born. Read on as Naruto the scientist, son of Minato, apprentice of Orochimaru, brother to the Kyuubi's jinchuuruki live out his days. Now M-rated.

Starved for attention, respect, strength, and convinced becoming a ninja is the only way to achieve his goals, Naruto Uzumaki is a person who wants to become a shinobi at all cost. Willing to give his whole loyalty to someone who's willing to give him that chance to become strong. That only attracts vultures, vultures like Root.

Ichigo has prevailed over every foe that has threatened to destroy the world, but were they truly the greater threat? Confronted by the Soul King and forced to swallow a terrible truth, Ichigo is thrust back in time, his life ripped from him as he is forced to watch time repeat itself once again. Or he'll hear about it at least... Other character tags removed for now.

"ICHIGO!" Rukia shouted desperately. The orange haired teen was dead, a large, thick sword jammed through his gut. Kugo Ginjo laughed hysterically as he stood over Ichigo's stiffening body. They hadn't made it in time. In the afterlife, Ichigo attends the Shinigami Academy with no recollection of his human life. Read as he slowly uncovers the truth of his past identity.

AU. In the aftermath of the Kyūbi attack, Sarutobi Hiruzen ponders his greatest dillema yet: the fate of one Uzumaki Naruto. Fortunately - or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it - another Uzumaki still lives. Will be epic in length.

In the aftermath of the Winter War, Ichigo Kurosaki is ripped away from his life as a substitute soul reaper and is now thrown into a world where simply being the strongest being in the known worlds, is no guarantee for survival. AU Ichigo/Sui-Feng Chapter 1 edited again 22 June 2014.

When Ichigo dies that faithful night with his mother, plans are turned on their heads and two geniuses are left to rethink their schemes. What will happen when a third genius sinks his teeth into Ichigo first. Will the World survive the three-way war that no one even knows about? Mentor!Gin Disciple!Ichigo

Being ignored and gazed at with hatred can lead someone to become a boisterous and loud orange-wearing shinobi, but it can also drive him to become a silent and invisible introvert. Of the two, Naruto takes the logical choice for a future in the Ninja World. Team Sai-Naruto-Sakura. No pairings. Future of bloodshed and grittiness assured.

If you have ridiculous chakra reserves, a forbidden technique that enables brute force training, and an insatiable appetite for epic skills, what are the chances that you'll settle for mediocrity? A bit of insanity is a small price to pay for being awesome.

Naruto's always had big dreams, but unbeknownst to him he's heir to a legacy that dwarfs all of them. Sometimes all it takes is the beat of a butterfly's wings to put you on the path to greatness. With some luck, some help, and a whole lot of hard work, Naruto is going to make the name Uzumaki something to be respected once more. Naru/Haku, probably multi later on.

Ichigo is in the Dangai Precipice world on his way to the Soul Society when an encounter with the infamous Sweeper sends Ichigo tumbling through the fabric of time and ends up 200 years in the past. The story starts right after Orihime gets taken to Hueco Mundo by Ulquiorra Cifer. Ichigo is not extremely over powered at this time. Rated T for Language and later Violence.

There's something to be said for keeping the past as it was - makes it predictable, malleable. Naruto never bought those arguments. He's always been the one to power through adversity rather than wait it out, so why would now be any different? He'll do what has to be done, even if he steps on a few butterflies along the way.

Not every idea Orochimaru ever had was bad. When one of his mothballed programs gets refreshed by the Third how will the world change for Team 7 when they are given brutally honest evaluations of their skills, personalities and potentials. With this knowledge laid bare before them and their Sensei what do they do and how to they grow. STRAIGHT/NON-YAOI

All Sasuke wanted was revenge. He never expected to be thrown into the midst of Konoha's hidden discordance, or to learn the truth about Uchiha Itachi. Time travel. The Uchiha coup occurs. On Hiatus.

In a moment of desperation, Ulquiorra locks a hollowfied Ichigo away before he is able to fulfill his self-imposed duty to protect those he cares about. Perhaps being locked away for all eternity was better than receiving the full brunt of the consequences of his inaction against Spirit-King-to-be Aizen Sousuke. Post-Winter War Apocalyptic Time-Travelling AU.

On the eve of his 17th birthday, a powerless Ichigo is given a chance to regain his powers once again, but with a completely different twist. AU from after the Winter War. Chapter 22 & 23 edited. Please see note EDIT, for more information.

Death is only the beginning, right? Well that couldn't be more accurate for substitute shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki. What kind of hell will he raise when he finally makes it to soul society? read and find out. (summary sucks, I know. R and R) Rated T for now, but might rise later on. Violence, some mild language, and a teenage soul reaper. NOT ABANDONED! Check profile for more info.

Team Seven is Naruto's destiny, right? Wrong. A great tragedy occurs during their first mission in the Land of Waves, breaking the team apart forever. What's in store for an on-the-run Uzumaki Naruto?

In the process of a rewrite.

Danzo asks to be Team 7's Jounin. Follows Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke as they grow into their positions. Kakashi is still in the fic. A more military take on the Narutoverse, will try to focus on ninja using tricks instead of brute force. strong!team.

Ichigo wasn't your everyday fifteen year old teenager. No, he was much more than that. Ichigo was a genius. He could also see ghosts. What happens when a genius with an IQ of over 200 gets thrust into the world of Shinigami? DISCONTINUED, not up for adoption. Idea/original premise is free to use though!

Timetravel. Ichigo loses a war no one wanted to fight in the first place. Miraculously gaining a second chance, he decides that his best option is to simply prevent it from ever happening. He has a long way to go before reaching a position from which he can actually affect things, but neither that nor the sacrifices he has to make will deter him. First stop: the Shinigami Academy.

In an alternate universe, three traitors have set into motion a plot that will shake the world to its core. Captain Sosuke Aizen and the Thirteen Court Guard Squads stand against Hueco Mundo, awaiting an enemy with genocide as its goal.

Set 6 years after Ichigo first became a Shinigami, 4 years after the Arrancar wars and a lot has changed. No set pairings yet, character deaths and nasty surprises. Mainly set in Soul Society
