My response to pudgypudge's Jiongu challenge. Watch as Naruto is mentored by Kakuzu to become a powerful ninja and bounty hunter, and follow him as he discovers that his new life requires a payment in blood to live successfully. Jiongu!Naruto; Naruto/Fū. Sequels up.

The night of Kyuubi's attack another demon appears giving hope and fear to Konoha. Can Naruto live in a world where he is groomed by darkness? Can Konoha survive his journey for power? Can an agent of death find true love?

A single moment's hesitation during the Kyuubi attack has unforeseeable consequences. Now as the world rushes towards war, a new order begins its rise. Everything will change. Everything has changed.

It takes but a few bold moves by arrogant fools and the vengeance carried out by those wronged, to reveal all the skeletons and strip away nearly every ounce of respect and trust Konoha ever had. And for the three wronged...life uncaged sounds sweet.

During the battle in Wave, an accident leads to Naruto no longer being able to use jutsu. Having lost his greatest advantage, he must train to become a capable ninja using the only options left. Taijutsu, kenjutsu, and fuinjutsu - the sealing arts.

Uzumaki Naruto grew up with lofty goals, guts, and determination. Instincts of a born fighter made him grow; duty to his home drove him. As the battle lines begin to blur, he must find a way to reconcile all he's ever known with the man he hopes to become. Large AU.

Naruto had a problem. He had no one to train him for the chunin exams, but more importantly, he had no one in life there for him that would also judge him. So naturally he was desperate. Yet you know what they say... "Desperation only attracts vultures."

It has began. A war that will spread like a wild fire across the galaxy. And I just wish I could live my life peacefully. Heh, I guess that's just a stupid dream. I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm NOT a Jedi. Not anymore. NarutoXSW. Summary inside.

set in stone. Naruto has lost everything and just wants to end it, but when Plan B comes into effect, and altered by a little nine tailed chakra, everything goes horribly wrong, or possibly horribly right, depending on how you look at it. Minor Pairings

He was set for a life of pain, of hate, of suffering, and of sorrow. A gift changed all that, a gift, that was power unequaled. With this power, he will change the world and all that exists in it, be they the gods of the pantheon, or the devils of hell...

He who controls the flow of information holds in his hands the very threads of fate. This was the great truth Naruto had discovered. Setting out into the wilds with his quiet sensei, he sets in motion a plan which will rock the shinobi world to its core.

After seeing the weakness of its vessel, the Kyuubi gives birth to a new Bloodline and bestows it upon its unwilling host with one command: Remind the world of the terror of the Kyuubi and return their fear to them.

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.

Time Travel. In Kushina's first day of class, she expected many things. Her strange classmate Uzumaki Naruto was not one of them.

Mei Terumi was visting Konoha to try and secure help for the upcomming rebellion she was going to lead. She didn't gain any help from the leaf, but she did leave Konoha with an unsuspected travel companion, one who also just happened to house the Kyubi

On the night of the Kyuubi's attack the fox's soul in sealed in Naruto's sister. 7 years later being cold and indifferent person he finds a sword that grants him powers to rival some of the legandary Bijuu. Parings undecided

A single look from Naruto told Sarutobi that he may be headed down the path of his former student, Orochimaru. However what if Sarutobi's actions in Naruto's life from then on send him on the path that he specifically wanted Naruto to avoid?

Naruto's sister was chosen for the sealing. The Yondaime lived. Despite his talent and hard work, Naruto slowly faded into the background of his sister. He suffered a crippling accident. His desperate attempt to fix himself will change the world.

Naruto leaves for training for four years, he unlocks the Rinnegan and strives to become Hokage, on his way back he comes across the Kakuzu and Hidan battle against Kakashi and some others. Strong Naruto. not sure on pairings up for suggestions!

Years have passed since he had left his old home. Now a monk in the Temple of Fire, Naruto faces a new life with a much different set of beliefs. Faced with hard choices, and asked to make even more sacrifices on his pilgrimage, how will this new path go?

Ever since the seal broke, Naruto's life has changed. He's been thrust into ANBU: he's starting to lose sight of which half is him and which half is his demon, he can't seem to find his way back to team seven, and he's been having these weird dreams - with a sky wrenched apart by a broken moon, a man with a staff, and a version of him with glowing, nine-tomoe eyes.

The ninja way has not always been a nice one. By chance Naruto has met those who know the old ways. Now our hero is trained in the old school of the ninja. Naruto shall live and die by stealth. (Discontinued with summary Ending)

Within the miasma of an eternal languish, the light of hope shines with a magnificence unrelenting. Grasp onto it with your own two hands and pull yourself from purgatory and embrace a miracle. Uzumaki Naruto shall fight in the War of the Holy Grail.

On one of Naruto's yearly assaults, he enters the Hokage tower, hoping to find safety...instead he finds the answers to many questions...as well as a home...and a mother. Living Kushina, strong Naruto, General Konoha bashing

With his own world now in tatters, young Naruto Uzumaki must use the curse he gained from Madara in order to find a new home. With the help of a pale green goddess, Naruto will be king of Gotham.
