Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

With his final breath, he destroyed the Holy Grail. Devoid of purpose after discarding his ideals, he laid down to die. Through the work of fate Emiya Shirou does not die, but instead awakes in a new world. Now, he who no longer wishes to be a hero will have to forge his path once again in a world in need of heroes.

The Hunter is adrift and he is not sure the Waking World was supposed to be this strange. Set during the Fall of Lescatie and beyond, watch as a man tormented by the Night of the Hunt tries to find his purpose in a new world...

RWBY AU. Ruby Rose is a parkour lover. It's also pretty helpful when she has to make a getaway after some tagging. On her way to meet up with her up and coming model of a sister Yang, she runs into Weiss Schnee, young head to the Schnee fashion industry. After being hired (against her will), she finds herself falling for the ice cold fashion heir. What's a runner to do? WhiteRose

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?

Book 2 of the Swords and Sorcery series. Shirou and Iris continue on to their second year at Hogwarts with new friends and potential enemies showing that perhaps Shirou is not as far from home as he thinks.

It was the Ailment that brought him to Yharnam. It was the Hunt that gave him purpose. It was the Dream that bound him in chains. In the end, it was his student who granted him Salvation. In this new world, he continues his Hunt. Allies will be met. Enemies, made. And the Hunters… Remembered. Glory to the Shattered Moon.

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.

Dreams have few outcomes, it just so happened his ended in the worst possible way. Naruto accepted it. As much as he wanted, there will be no walking back. Rewritten. Nerfed-Naruto.

I expect you to obey her orders. I expect you to be a pillar of support when she is downcast or discouraged; she'll need someone to keep her in high spirits. But I also expect you to keep her grounded in reality. I expect you to keep her safe while she is out there. I expect you to use anything necessary to keep her safe -your life as sacrifice not included. Understood?

With the war won at a cost, Naruto is given a second chance to live the life that had been taken from him due to the mistakes of his predecessors. Blessed with the powers of the Sage, gifted with the abilities of his parents, and joined by his most trusted partner, Naruto will enter the land of Fiore with the intent to find a new purpose.

Yang wasn't used to leadership, but she wasn't going to accept Ozpin's suggestion of mandatory rest either. Not when it meant losing her spot on Team RWBY. If she had to lead a rookie squad of police officers against the White Fang to prove she could still fight, then so be it. Too bad no one told her the VSPR was made up of Vale's worst criminals, many of which she knew by name.

Weiss Schnee is driving home when her car breaks down in a bad neighborhood. While attempting to fix it she is accosted by a couple of thugs, and is rescued by Ruby. Ruby may be small,but she can handle herself in a fight. Weiss and Ruby part ways after the rescue, but they both can't help but think of each other. This is my first fanfiction. Whiterose and slight slowburn.

With the power of all nine Bijuu within him, Rokudaime Hokage Uzumaki Naruto should have been unstoppable. When Tobi tried to imprison him in the Other Dimension, the combined power of nine tailed beasts caused spacetime to tear, and the bijuu found themselves inside their previous jinchuuriki hosts...in the past. [AU/Time Travel]

His godly chakra reserves? All gone. Amazing and destructive jutsu? Can't use 'em. Weak? Not even close. If all else fails then good old fashion exercise will help. Unfortunately, he may have overdone it because now Naruto is bored. "How'd you get so strong?" "Push ups, sit ups, and plenty of orange juice!"

Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.

An accident with the Second Magic sends Shirou to another dimension. Trapped in a different world and a younger body, how will he manage to get back home? Perhaps the Hogwarts library has an "Inter-dimensional Travel" section.

Things aren't always as simple as they seem. Just because he found himself in a new world, Naruto shouldn't have forgotten this. Now he must deal with angel, fallen angels, devils, perverts and god, all while maintaining a relationship and running his store. Things can never be simple for him.

It would take time, he realized. But he had time and even more motive. This bloody and horrifying system could not continue. One-Shot.

"Don't lie to him" Shikamaru felt the need to say, "He's observant". Ino felt her nose rumple in disbelief. "Is he?" she frowned, wondering if the Nara was joking. "Since when?" "Since always." He paused. "Especially with things that catch his interest."

A chance collision early in Naruto's life will irrevocably change the path he takes; what happens when Naruto's views are shifted before even his dream to become Hokage? Where will his new path take him, and how many strings will he pull or threads will he trip over along the way? Puppeteer!Naruto.

Taught from a young age to fight for his village, Naruto thought he knew what combat was all about. In the chaotic world he now finds himself in it won't take long for him to find out that he has absolutely no idea. There are no heroes on the battlefield.

Some monsters are born, others are created, some redeem themselves, others have to be redeemed; but the worst monsters are those that were never monsters to begin with. A child's mind is a fragile thing; it will only take so much. The question is, what does it take to put back together?

What if Kushina was the great granddaughter of Mito Uzumaki and thus, Hashirama Senju? What would Naruto's life be like as a direct descendant of the first Hokage? And he inherited more than just the "Will of Fire" from Hashirama? With the blood of The Shodai flowing in his veins, How will Naruto's journey change? Let's find out.

Alcohol is a presence in all aspects of Humanity and Faunuskind. It breaks, helps, and heals. The people who serve it find they're the people who can help. After a rejection at Beacon, Jaune finds his place to belong at a bar, hoping to recover from his past mistakes by helping others in need. Cover: Hanisu93

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Being reborn into the Uchiha clan in the same generation as Itachi promises nothing but a short-lived second life. But, hey—if I'm going to die with certainty, I might as well go out with a bang, right? SI Rebirth. Complete; all extras posted.

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?

The world has no use for Sasuke, he is now gone from the world of Ninjas as he transcends to the next life, but. What if the next life was truly a new life for him to live in and to be with a familiar face that will be by his side no matter what. Welcome to the world of Hunters, watch as the Uchiha's leave a mark on this world for a better *Chapters 1-10 currently being edited*

AU: Itachi didn't kill the clan, instead he and his friends are teaching the next generation to drive them (and maybe the rest of Konoha) crazy. Won't that be fun?

Threats in Kuoh Town force the dispatch of a devil that can guarantee the protection of the Gremory and Sitri heiresses. A single decision with far reaching consequences, ones that have Sona lamenting her fate. Of all the devils that could have been sent, why did it have to be her sister's queen? Cover by deviantart's Iceveyns.

Minato had one dream. For his son to follow in his footsteps. Just not in the way everyone thought. Crackhead!Naruto

Kakashi is dropped into the middle of nowhere. The moon is broken into pieces, and he knows he's not in his home world anymore. Now he has to live out the remainder of his life in this strange, but peaceful world.

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?

In which Team 7 contains an arrogant douchebag, an imitator and a robber, and they're not who you're expecting them to be. Inspired by every other fic with the same premise ever.

Keep fighting, they say, eventually you will have won. But what is winning? As order in the Element Nations collapses, Team Seven asks just that. The desert cries out and on blood-soaked dunes their sandals leave imprints. Where do you draw the line when war puts morality into question at every turn? [AU]

ANBU!Naruto. Drafted into ANBU at a young age, Naruto is guided to the path of a Captain. Leader of Team Sigma, the Hokage's Personal Guard, Naruto will lead his team and defend his Village to the best of his ability. Threats besiege the Land of Fire from all sides, and only Naruto stands before them...

Jaune wasn't exactly Blake's type, but giving him a hand was the least she could do after he helped her out... it didn't have to mean anything - no matter what Yang implied! Also would Ruby cut it out with the knowing looks, I'm just returning a favour! Blake x Jaune realistic romance, focused on their times at Beacon Academy.

There were very few things that could rile a 25 year old Naruto Uzumaki up. He was perfectly content to sit in his home, work his normal job, study at a normal school, and in his free time, tinker (read: upgrade in a potentially life endangering manner) with whatever happened to catch his interest. This obviously did not include Devils, or Angels, or Fallen Angels.

Sasuke had a very good reason for running away from Konoha.

What if Kakashi had recovered from his deep depression? What if he turned out to be a true genius as a sensei? Watch as team 7 develops into a truly capable shinobi team!

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]

It was probably the strangest proposition he'd ever received. "I'm really sorry about this, but I've decided to become your fangirl." "My fangirl?" "Yes, and I think it's only fair to warn you beforehand." fem!Naruto, no Uchiha Massacre, Shisui x Naruko (An Ideal World Fic)

Naruto was born five years before the Kyuubi attack and the fox was sealed into his younger sister. His parent don't have the time to teach him so he looks to others to help him become a great shinobi. AU Powerful Mokuton Naruto. Alive Minato and Kushina. Chapter coming soon :)

Hiruzen was considered the 'God of shinobi.' This story makes the assumption that the title was entirely justified. What happens when the Shinobi no Kami has a different response on the Hyūga abduction attempt? It is time to let slip the dogs of war.

At the age of 10, Naruto is an honary ANBU member, and soon to be Fifth Hokage, but when his last mission goes wrong, he quits the life of a shinobi. When Konoha is on the edge of destruction, will he rise up once more? Or will he watch as Konoha falls?

The world is breaking. War and technology push on the edge of the unbelievable as S.H.I.E.L.D. desperately tries to keep the peace. Soldier and scientist no longer hold the line alone, as an ancient fire burns alongside them. The last of all wizards.

Ruby x Weiss AU where Ruby works at a cafe and messes up a cute customer's drink. Weiss has to cope with the new girl making her coffee! And a slight Blake x Yang *Warning* Lemon in later chapters

The Chunin Exams have come back to Konoha and the Hokage has decided to recall all her ninjas, including one Naruto Uzumaki. Too bad she doesn't know that she'd probably be better off without him.

Jaune and Blake are dating. No one else really gets it.

A challenge response to Akun50's 'Unique Power-Ups' thread on The Fanfiction Forum. Kakashi is about to have a very bad day. Team 7 centric. No longer a one-shot.

Riven has been accepted into the League of Legends, but without a real purpose. She's still an outcast, only now she's forced to cooperate with others in a foreign situation. Was this a mistake, or can Riven find some benefit to being here? RivenXLux

Symptoms include shivering when she touches you, your mind freezing after just one thought of her, loss of coordination so you look like a spaz at all the wrong times, and difficulty speaking when she says your name. White Rose AU, some other pairings on the side.

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.

Kakashi has been left by Minato to get Obito off the battlefield, but he never counted on the Kamui dimension being picky about what went into it, nor on Obito's stash of Awamori, and most certainly not the chance that the two might get drunk enough to attempt to save the world. (Crack, definitely crack, post Chapter 655, one shot)

Ruby Rose has always dreamed of attending the famous Beacon Academy. Her dream was to become the very best and prove herself to her peers, but then She met Weiss and her whole world was shaken to its core. WeissxRuby. Will be Alternate Universe for the most part. Rated M for graphic torture in chapter 12. Can skip to chapter 13 if you wish. Thanks for reading!

After defeating his evil older brother, Sasuke decides to return to Konoha and rebuild his clan...Why is everyone being so difficult about this? In which Sasuke completely missed the plot.

AU. Yang decides to sit down with an enticing stranger for coffee.

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.

Anko sees something that worries her and decides to do something about it.

Due to a quirk of fate, Naruto passes the Academy Graduation Exam on his first try. Because of this, his life takes an interesting turn before he joins Team 7 after Kakashi poaches him from his sensei.

'Leaf Style Shinobi, Uzumaki Naruto' So he had introduced himself. What about if that became a little bit more... literal? No decided pairings if ever, new jutsu and general insanity.

After the fall of the Kyuubi, Senju Tsunade takes up the mantle of Hokage. Nearly 10 years later the village is once being pulled into a war. A special team is being put together and trained by the enigmatic ANBU named Saru. AU, Epic Length

Whoever thought Hatake Kakashi would make a great Hokage needed to be killed. Slowly.

On a night where his dream is put in jeopardy, Naruto must show how exceptional of a ninja he is by bringing an entirely new facet to the world of shinobi. Eventual NaruXOC OCxFemHaku. Will be EPIC in length. *Warning: First Story Written*

Kakashi forgot to read the latest in the files on his team. Had he done so, he might have noticed that Naruto had lived through an extra decade of experience in the last week, gaining the abilities of someone from another world. Pretty much pure crack.

No one really realises how much the person you idolize can shape what you become in future. He looked up to the sky and admired the stars- but stars would never suffice, he wanted the sky. Look upon greatness and covet, young shinobi. Powerful!Naruto

A careless mistake by Itachi leaves Naruto with a gift. With a sharingan in his left eye, Naruto will rise up the ranks and make a name for himself. A Naruto modelled after Kakashi.

Thinking about the Sannin, Naruto comes to an unsettling realization: two of them and their teacher were all killed by a student of theirs. Could the still-comatose Tsunade be next? Needless to say, he's not going to be taking any chances...
