Desperately struggling to free himself from the darkness of his past only ends with death. Another chance is given a chance to avoid a apocalyptic future a chance for redemption. A chance, one last chance to save the world. Naru x Anko

Post timeskip. Three years are up, but where is Naruto? Team 8 heads off in search of him, and Hinata meets a kind old stranger who seems to know Naruto. Who is this man? Read to find out. Eventual NaruHina RxR PLEASE! WARNING: BLOODGORELANGUAGE.

What would Naruto be like if he had been born 4 years earlier, Kyuubi still being sealed inside of him. What would he be like if he had grown up with Itachi, reaching shinobi ranks along side him. He is now 16, a jounin who just took on team 7. AU & OCnes

Major AU. Some humor, as well. What if, instead of Kyuubi, Jenova and Ultimecia were sealed within Naruto? What if they were good? Yet he was still regarded as the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi? Shounen-ai/yaoi. Eventual Zabuza/Naruto pairing. Godlike Naruto

Major AU. Kidnapped from Konoha and left to die, Naruto is trained in Black Magic by the unsent soul of Lulu. Powerful, possibly godlike Naruto. Cynical humor. Kyuubi as a battle doll! Complete.
