At age 11 tragedy strikes Naruto. He becomes catatonic and the Kyubi takes over. The Kyubi isn't stupid however and knows if he bursts forth and wrecks havoc around him he will be sealed again. Instead he has another plan.

After his defeat at the Forest of Death against Orochimaru, Naruto finds himself crippled by the snake. With his arms no longer able to use chakra and thus leaving him unable to use jutsus, what is he to do? Simple, take what he has, use his youth, and kick his way through any hardships, literally! Warning: may become longer or not. No bashing and no pairings.

Naruto and TenTen become friends while he's still at the Academy; TenTen helps Naruto graduate, and the two of them join Team Gai along with Rock Lee. Now, Naruto must learn what it means to be a jinchuriki, and how far he'll go to defend his ninja way.

AU. Naruto makes a bet with Iruka that in one year's time, he can become a Hand Seal master. After successful completion of his test, Naruto must learn to cope with his emerging power, training alone, and training his own team. No romance.

AU. What would have happened if our favorite Ramen slurping Jinchuriki was trained by the leader of ROOT? If so then for what reason would the old War Hawk take an interest in him? Does he want a weapon or could he want something more? Would Danzo convert the boy to his way of thinking or...

'Leaf Style Shinobi, Uzumaki Naruto' So he had introduced himself. What about if that became a little bit more... literal? No decided pairings if ever, new jutsu and general insanity.

Naruto's life the way it would have been if he was placed in a team with a sensei who truly cared for him and teammates that would slowly learn to accept and treasure his existence.

When you find out that someone messed with your mind, what will you do? Can it be forgiven? Or will you take revenge on anyone who participated and utterly destroy them? Watch what would Naruto do. Warning: Do not expect to see in this story the canon Naruto or Naruto wielding some ridiculous bloodline. Also I would recommand to read at least two chapters beyond the prolog.

At a young age Naruto helps to develop, and learns to use, guns. Events lead to a serious, sniper/assassin Naruto with a different life goal. Many differences from canon. I do not own Naruto.

Some shinobi use kunai, others use their fists. For Naruto, his claim to fame will be something the shinobi world has never seen before. For Naruto, it's all in the cards! Fuuinjutsu!Naruto

I was alone. Alone and hated in my village. Until my mentor found me. Until he trained me. And he taught me a valuable lesson. That Nothing is True, and Everything is Permitted. Who am I? I am Naruto Uzumaki. And I'm an Assassin. NaruHina, OCAnko. Rated M for blood, language, and hinted sexual situations. Some Kakashi, Jiraiya, and possibly Sasuke bashing, and Hyuuga clan bashing.

A single act of kindness can ripple outward, like a stone cast into still water. When Naruto is taken in by Iruka at a young age, his life changes in ways he never could have imagined. From the untold days of Naruto's youth, small ripples will become waves to alter the destinies of those around him. AU rewrite.

An accident results in Naruto acquiring a unique advantage and a new instructor. Can Ebisu guide Naruto down the path of a successful ninja?

Naruto, unable to use chakra forges a new way towards his dream. With weapons! Along with Yakumo and her Genjutsu, they will prove that they can be great ninja's even with their limitations. Need a better summary.

The Uchiha clan had been planning a coup against Konoha. In an effort to create peace and prevent a civil war, Sarutobi Hiruzen appointed Uchiha Itachi as his successor. Instead of becoming an S-Ranked missing ninja, Itachi was now being trained to become the Godaime Hokage. This decision would change the lives of many, especially the life of Uzumaki Naruto. NaruFū

"Life is a chaotic system, change one variable the results become unpredictable" And one fateful encounter with a powerful Librarian has changed all the variables in Naruto's life.

A re-write of my original story. After the events of the Wave, Naruto realizes that he must improve as a shinobi. With Kakashi's help, he sets out to accomplish just that. With a scroll from the founder of Ninjutsu, a fox who mildly respects him and surprising encouragement from Ino, Naruto might just becaome the strongest shinobi of the Leaf, worthy of the Fourth's legacy.

Morino Ibiki was thought to be the last choice for a jonin sensei, but thanks to the efforts of Umino Iruka, he finds himself saddled with a familiar team of new genin...
