Too many stories focus on the romance and leave the plot behind. We're here to say "Put it on the back-burner!" Mystery, adventure, and a true ninja spirit will be explored here. Romance can have a part, but it won't be the main point.

Conversations by evil genus reviews
Have you ever wondered if Naruto and Kyubi talked to each other outside the "give me power" talks? Ever wondered what their relationship really was? How they got along?

The Best Laid Plans by arun2110 reviews
Madara had a plan. The Yondaime ruined it. Madara made another plan. One that could not fail. But the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry and this one had just run straight into the number one most surprising ninja in Konoha, one Uzumaki Naruto.

Team Tensai by Wingwyrm reviews
They've gone back to the past. They've gone too far back into the past and they just don't want to wait around years and years, so they figured they might as well start early. Team 7, gen, time travel. Angst/Drama/Humor.

The Mouse of Konoha by obsidian dreamer reviews
Never underestimate the power of good advice. A few wise words into a pair of young ears leads a young would-be ninja to a decision; the Leaf will recognise him, but not as the fox... now separate from Win Some, Lose Some!

Patriot's Dawn by Dr. Snakes MD reviews
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.

The Sealed Kunai by Kenchi618 reviews
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.

Naruto's Compensation by DisobedienceWriter reviews
COMPLETE. Young Naruto is prohibited from being Ninja of the Leaf. Left to his own devices he takes an unusual path to power as a Puppeteer. Smart!Powerful!Wily!Naruto. Lots of conflict with Orochimaru, Sasori and other Akatsuki.

Retribution by Nate Grey reviews
Sasuke meets Ino instead of Sakura on his way out of the village, and learns a valuable final lesson: don't start a clan war with three others. Especially if yours happens to be dead.

Nothing but Trouble by Mister Cynical reviews
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.

Better Left Unsaid by Kenchi618 reviews
Mizuki never got to shoot his mouth off at Naruto the night he took the Scroll of Seals. Other than skipping a half-manic monologue from him what exactly did this change for everyone's favorite blonde ninja? Who knows? Rated M for language/later events.

Shadow and Wind: New legends by Sir-Shun reviews
AU. Naruto and Shikamaru's lives take an unexpected turn. Follow the eccentric hero and the lazy genius on their journey to become legends. Chapter 53: Naruto and Shikamaru are in more trouble! Will they even reach Mizu at this rate?
