Focus: Anime/Manga Naruto, Since: 05-19-09
A list of fics recommended by the gang at S'TarKan's [Author of Team 8 and Nightmares of Future Past] forum - we read far too many. Any genre and length. Unlikely to be much yaoi. All that matters is it's good. Remember to change the fiction rating to 'All' as many of the stories are rated above T. Note to staff: We now have a selection criteria, go the the forums to nominate a fic to add. |

The Lavender Beast of Konoha by Mark Doherty reviews
In a fit of hubris, Hiashi forced Hinata to attend the same Academy class as Neji. Having never been in the same class as Naruto, who shall serve as her inspiration to grow stronger? AU Team Gai: Lee, Tenten, Hinata. Gen for now. Surprisingly not crack.

Lots of people wonder why Naruto doesn't know Bunshin Daibakuha, the Great Clone Explosion. In theory, it makes sense for him to learn it. In practice... not so much.

Failing Twilight by Shadow Rebirth reviews
ABANDONED. Naruto had learnt from a young age that life could get hectic, but all this chaos with Biju, daimyos, and psychotic missing-nin was going a bit too far. Now just throw in a fourth Great Shinobi War and you've got one pissed off seal master. [AU, no pairings.]

Out of the Darkness: A Jinchuuriki's Tale by S'TarKan reviews
People have asked for a sequel with Riley from There's Always A Way... So I got to wondering what someone with his sarcastic personality would be like in Naruto. Warning: This is darker and grittier.

Senju Naruto by Baal of Yarns reviews
You'd think being brought up by his Sannin mother instead of as an outcast would make Naruto's life a little easier. Not so for a guy with a demon trapped in his belly, even if he's genetically predisposed to handling it. Mokuton!Naruto

Three Months by kaotic312 reviews
When the girls get together, watch out! They're making lists and checking it twice. Are the guys in or out? Shika, Neji, Naruto, and Sasuke are now declared 'undateable' by the girls. Who does that leave? Rated T for language.
