Outside of every ninja village are smaller, simpler towns that the village relies upon for various needs. However, as Kakashi is about to find out, even small towns can hide big secrets. And if they survive this, then Iruka has a LOT of explaining to do.

Life as an Academy instructor isn't easy, with civilians afraid of you, parents complaining to you and students or friends pulling dangerous 'pranks'... Oh yes, and ANBU running around trying to find the traitors who intend to let in an enemy army. Fun.

*Shinkirou sequel* With the Godaime overthrown and Sanctuary triumphant, Konohans are finally able to live without the suffocating shroud of fear. But Danzo made enemies besides his own people, and Konoha is about to face the consequences of his actions.

Between the end of war and the beginning of reconstruction, there should always be a time in which to come home and simply be. Sometimes, however, home is not a comfort, but an awkward silence to overcome. *Shinkirou one-shot*

AU cliche. When the Sandaime fell, a nightmare descended upon Konoha. But on the day the nightmare began, no one noticed that one teacher's aid and a few young children disappeared. That simple fact may be the only hope Konoha has left.

HIATUS ...the manipulation and creation of invisible blades," After an attack from villagers, Naruto awakens his bloodline. From blue, to red, to black, what would Naruto do with his newfound power?

His defenses have dropped, the barriers weakening, and for just a little while he glimpses the terrifying secret beneath the surface.

A banished Naruto is told he needs to return to the Hidden Leaf by an emissary of the new Rokudaime Hokage. His reaction isn't what you'd expect.

The Kyuubi doesn't want to die. He cannot even grasp the idea of himself dying. He's meant to be immortal and he has no intention whatsoever to go against his very nature. True, he's stuck inside Naruto, but the boy has absolutely no say in this matter.

Naruto, Ayame, Teuchi. When Naruto is away on a mission, they worry for him. When he's back, they listen to him. ONESHOT

Of course, only Sai would be the one ballsy enough to outright ask. He wasn’t afraid of the answer, or rather Naruto’s reaction, like everyone else. oneshot.

[One-shot.] Naruto had always dreamt of fairy tale parents: A husband and wife happily married and deeply in love with each other before tragedy tore them apart. Unfortunately, reality doesn't always work out that way.

[The dead do not walk, but the broken do not die, so where does that leave him?] When a blue eyed man with whisker-like scars and no memory shows up four years after the Yondaime's death, Sarutobi doesn't know what to think. [Time travel, no pairings.]

Having lost a precious person to the Akatsuki, Uzumaki Naruto plans to take them down, but how?

Naruto had always loved orange. [150 word drabble. Character study.]

It's taken a fair amount of work, but Naruto finally feels ready to carve his name into history as an S-Rank missing-nin. Leaving Konoha with a light heart and a personal agenda, how far will his skill grow, and how sucessfully will he attain his goals?

A will of fire cannot be so easily denied. The continuing saga of Hiraku Kazama. Sequel to "From the Ashes."

Drabbles set within my story From the Ashes. Just a bunch of little ideas that did not quite make it into the main plot line. Mostly humorous.

Yellow was supposed to be kind and warm and sunshine and happy summer days. But now it didn’t feel so kind. *for PIIR-Pierrot*

A brilliant son hiding his talents, wishing for the life of an adventurer suddenly finds himself getting what he wishes. Demons, ninjas, villages in need; did he get more than he bargained for? He forges his own name among the nations, becoming a legend.

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.

After Orochimaru mucks around with his seal in the Forest of Death, Naruto discovers another set of memories in his head. Memories that belonged to the Yondaime Hokage, Konoha's Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato, and Naruto's father.

AU. Use brains, not brawn. Observation and deduction is how you stay ahead. Go further than anyone on the path of ninja or to leave it completely. To build yourself a name even when bereft of a village. Naruto is based on Sherlock Holmes, not a crossover.

Those Council fools want me gone so they can get back to the way things were. But I know the truth: there's no going back. You've changed things ... forever.

For shinobi, the difference between victory and defeat can stem from observing the smallest of details.
