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.

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.

When Naruto's father met his mother, his only impression was that a village out there must have been missing its idiot. Minato/Kushina.

ABANDONED Time-travel AU Falling into the toad oil pond was a big mistake, but soon Naruto finds himself enjoying what it brought him. Every cloud has a silver lining; just don't forget to watch the stormy side. The past is a dark and scary place.

Gone with the wind.

The Ninetails cannot be contained. But it will take a human sacrifice, all the same.

Bereft of acknowledgement, bereft of friendship. Uzumaki Naruto treads alone down a dark and desperate road, and has no intention of ever looking back.

Haku is alive, barely, after the battle at the bridge. With his master, Zabuza, dead and a team of vengeful hunter ninja close on his trail can he hope to last long? Haku X female OC. Please read & review, all comments and advice are appreciated.

Haku is content with his new home in the Land of Waves. But when a ninja clan thought long dead reemerges intent on destroying the Hidden Mist Village, Zabuza's former apprentice must consider a return to his former life. Sequel to 'The Broken Tool'.

When the fight on the bridge takes an unusual turn, the whole Naruto tale changes, based off the one-shot Mirror, by Uchiki na Kage, see what happens when a hidden truth is exposed see inside for better summary Rated M for content

With nothing to gain but everything to lose, Minato risked a last-minute addition to the Shiki Fuuin. He succeeded in wiping Kyuubi from the past, only to discover he had also invalidated his own future…

They molded him, shaped him into the very monster they were so afraid he would become. Then they mistakenly thought they could control him. Naruto-centric. Alternate Universe.

[Complete] The war with Akatsuki and Orochimaru took a toll on everyone, but none were so impacted by the horrendous and traumatic actions committed in those years of terrible struggle as Uzumaki Naruto. Naru/Tayu, rated for violence, sexual content, and language

You know, maybe there was a good reason why Naruto didn't learn Hiraishin no Jutsu during the time-skip...

Naruto once believed he saw Sasuke as more of a brother than Itachi ever did. But stuck in the 13-year-old ANBU captain's body on the day of Uchiha Clan Massacre, could he really do any better?

[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.]

When a hero chooses the love for his son over the love of his village, how will he live with himself? How far will Naruto go to redeem his family name and his father's lost honor? Powerful Naruto pairing undecided

Ino had always wondered why people feared the dark. At twenty two, she still didn't know why they did. All that mattered was she did as well. And it would soon consume her and there was nothing anyone could do about it… so she'd thought. [NaruIno]

AU: Oneshot. An alternate ending to Naruto. The Heavens describe the Garden a peaceful paradise. The Hells describe the Garden a baneful prison. In here... which is it?

During their training trip together, Jiraiya takes upon himself to teach Uzumaki Naruto about all about women for his 15th birthday, whether he likes it or not. Slight x-over.

Or, Bonding over Explosives is Fun! Naruten, ongoing series. Please R&R.

Salvation from chaos or ashes and dust from the whole of creation? Which will Naruto choose when the world is his playground? He should be careful though - he isn't the only one playing the game.

Defeated, captured, rescued, exiled. Nii Yugito is an emotional wreck, and the fact that she's attracted to the single loudest ninja to ever exist is not helping matters.

Uzumaki Naruto has been many things to many people. To some, he is a friend, a comrade, and perhaps even a hero. To others, he is an enemy, a nuisance, and a villain. But he's never been a god before.
