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.

Sakura's friendship with a rogue nin is a lifeline for both, but it cannot last. Nothing ever lasts for him. But when a blond Akatsuki shows up with the bleeding kunoichi in his arms, will she be she strong enough to unravel the mystery of who he is? AU Naru/Saku

Adolph Hitler travels back in time and meets a man who will change his life forever.

After Naruto catches the attention of Ibiki, he and his teammates are thrust into the dangerous and confusing world of espionage. Where treachery lurks beneath the idyllic face of Konoha.

In a world where a nukenin lived and Karma is... unkind, things go astray. Most ninja pray that Karma never has anything to do with them. Ever. Naruto finds out why early in life.

Naruto has been keeping dangerous secrets for years. A long-forgotten dream that just won’t die, an ally he shouldn’t know and a friend no one thought he had are what keep him going. Graduating is the least of his problems…

Lies have power. They can change a simple-minded believer into a two-faced schemer and a timid follower into a fanatical devotee. They can change a child angry at the world into a man consumed by more than vengeance. But that power is a lie as well.

They've been there. They've done that. And they didn't even get a shirt to prove it. Reload - because sometimes things are just as they seem to be, and at times they are even more.

Over time, Naruto learns what it means to be Jinchuuriki. Final in 'Matters, Secrets, and Times.'
