The trust of a child is a fragile thing… Naruto becomes disenchanted with Konoha and the Sandaime Hokage when he stumbles upon the truth of who and what he is on his eighth birthday. Smart!Naruto, Protective!Harry, Smart!Harry, Dudley!Redeemed, & Fan-girl!Ginny

He has his mother's red hair, his father's face, and most importantly, he has two of the best friends a Jinchuriki could ask for. His name is Naruto Uzumaki... and his tale is a bit different than the one you remember. AU, Alt!Naruto, CadetBranch!Hinata

Danzo and his agents seek to subtly gain control of Konoha. Uzumaki Naruto's role in single-handedly defeating a fully-realized Bijū has made him a celebrity. The former pariah is now the Leaf's biggest hero. It is a perfect opportunity to create a puppet Hokage. The plan is nearly foolproof, except for one critical flaw: they underestimated Uzumaki Naruto! 5th-Hokage!Naruto

Hatake Kakashi was a shinobi, and as a shinobi, the only people who could give him orders were his military superiors. The idea that a Council made up of civilians and peers was under the impression they could give him orders...displeased him. Or: He was ordered to pass Team 7. He was fine with that, until they actually passed.

A young Naruto finds the Uzumaki Clan Temple of Masks and is introduced to his clan's history by the chakra imprint of his ancestor, Mito Uzumaki. There he will learn the secret to the kinjutsu that led to the destruction of Uzushiogakure. (Fuuinjutsu!Naruto)

Nearly all of Indra's decedents awakened at least the base form of his bloodline. Meanwhile, most of Ashura's decedents did not progress past the passive benefits of his bloodline. Most. Naruto that stays in character and isn't suddenly a polite genius.

Oneshot. How Naruto Became the Sixth Hokage at Age Sixteen. (Completely honestly and legally.) Or, five conversations that didn't happen.

COMPLETE. Orochimaru gets one more chance. Just maybe, it will be enough to save him—and the entire world as well. Part one of A Snake Among the Leaves. JiraOro.

Time travel, the ultimate hoax to cheat in life and turn bad odds to your advantage. Or, it would be if Naruto had any idea what he was doing. Trying to save lives he holds dear, he somehow ended up as an international S-class criminal with a flee-on-sight order. Oops.

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.

When it becomes obvious that the long lived line of Uzumaki would be at risk, what would the only surviving Uzumaki elder do to preserve her family line? Join Naruto and Mito on a journey of reunions and farewells, as Naruto scours the elemental lands searching for something that long eluded him, himself. Begins after the Tsunade Retrieval Arc. Fuinjutsu!Naruto, ChakraChain!Naruto.

When Minato tries to seal half his soul into Naruto's seal, he is lucky the Shinigami is amused when he finds out. Minato and Kushina soon find themselves thrust into shadow...

Naruto never suspected that his stupid mission could end this badly. On the bright side, at least his lazy sensei was there to suffer with him. Meanwhile, Sakura and Sai have their own mission: see Kakashi's unmasked face. Post-timeskip. Kakashi/Naruto. Sakura/Money. Sai/Himself. Gaara/Paperwork.

When Naruto is given the chance to change everything he decides to take it. It's just too bad Kurama conveniently forgets to mention one small detail before allowing him to make his choice. [Gender-swap. Fem!Naruto. Time-travel.]

All Neji needed to do was suffer his teammate Lee for a little while longer before the Chūnin exams. In one world, he did just that. But in another world. In this world... One slip was all it took. A for want of a nail fic in which Neji's destructive pers

After one final battle with Madara, Naruto wakes up to find some surprising changes have occurred. Impossible changes. A cosmic accident has given him a second chance. No one ever said he had to live it the same way twice. TimeTravel. Strong!Naruto.

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]

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.

Kakashi Hatake, ex-ANBU captain demoted to Jounin instructor, is reunited with his former charge after an escapade from the Academy. Kakashi learns that there is more to the blonde boy than anyone ever realized-even the Hokage. That the boy was amusing is an added point, so why would he take a Genin team if he can spend his days analyzing the enigma that is Uzumaki Naruto?

In which 'copy-nin' is taken to a whole new level.

Challenge by acepro evolution: An attack awakens a bloodline thought dead in Naruto - the Mokuton. With it, he can become one of the most powerful shinobi in the world - if he manages to survive the shinobi, bijuu and clans first.

Sasuke Uchiha could never quite understand how a boy two years his junior somehow managed to get into the academy and remain there despite dead-last status. Suffice to say, he's in for quite a shock when said little boy hands him his ass. And that, as they say, is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

A few simple sentences can change a person's life; for better or for worse. Kakashi utters one of these simple sentences to a five year old Naruto in a chance meeting. How will this affect both their lives and the shinobi world as a whole? Brotherly!Kakashi, Believably Strong / Smart Naruto. Adopted by Kyoto141092

The creation of an ascended being puts a strain on reality. A little too much effort on his part or even just a slight loss of control may very well result in a tear—a warping of time and space itself. Unfortunately, Naruto and Sasuke have to pay the consequences. [Time-Travel. Warring Clans Era. No Yaoi. No Bashing.]

When finding himself stranded in the past, what is a man supposed to do? Surrounded by old friends who are younger than you remember, and without anyone to lean on, life becomes a challenge. Will he be able to forge new friendships and change the course of the future, to prevent the blood soaked world he came from? Failure equals death and mindless destruction. Time-travel.
