Probably not coming back to this but I'll leave it up if anyone cares to read. Smarter Naruto. After stealing the Scroll of Seals, Naruto accidentally discovers a mock-teleportation jutsu. Prepare to have your expectations subverted or whatever... Telling y'all now that it's NaruSaku so if you don't like NS, just don't read.

Canon-divergent, technically AU, chapters 91 through 138 / season 3. After Ebisu is knocked out, Naruto pursues Jiraiya in order to train under him for the chunin exams' third round. NaruSaku development. One-sided SasuSaku. Heavy foreshadowing. Evil Kurama. Naruto learns the rasengan early. Justice for Ebisu. Jiraiya being... Jiraiya.

Wholesome fic - After a particularly bad day, Naruto skips school. When he comes back, his smile remains, but his demeanor changes, sparking a change in how others perceive him, too. NaruSaku

AU - A retelling of Naruto, but Naruto's an actual genius. Main ship - NaruSaku, some KakaAnko Smart!Naruto Hiraishin!Naruto Strong!Sakura Good!Sasuke Dad!Kakashi

Very, very AU - What if Minato's team 7 became the next "Legendary Sannin" of Konoha? Feat. Alive (non-jinchuriki) Kushina, Rin, Obito. No-sharingan Kakashi, two-eyed Kakashi (still got the scar though), chakra saber Kakashi, good Obito, no Otsutsuki, only base Sharingan (pls don't kill me). No Zetsu bullshit either. KakaObiRin friendship.

Naruto Uzumaki has become quite a formidable shinobi, and he finds that his friends haven't exactly lagged behind. Read as the demon-container works his way up the ninja ranks, while also dealing with the various troubles that arise from the nature of his character and environment. Eventual NaruSaku.

Kinda dramatic with a happy ending. The Sasuke Retrieval mission was a success! After using a certain jutsu that he'd almost forgotten about, Naruto was able to bring his teammate back to the Hidden Leaf Village. After the mission, Naruto woke up in the hospital, and Team 7 had some mending to do.

Part 1-divergent. Naruto died while retrieving Tsunade, but was revived, and not before coming to a realization about himself. Naruto decides to make himself a better shinobi. Read how Naruto's life changes as he tries to fix it. NaruSaku (especially since chapter 8), Eventual Smart Naruto, No over-the-top bashing

Devolves into crack, evolves back into not-crack. After the battle at the Valley of the End, Naruto finds himself in a world foreign to him, where chakra doesn't exist, where the fourth hokage is his father, where he owns a talking pet fox, and where he learns something that is relevant to his own situation.

Naruto sees a girl getting bullied and decides that he must do something about it. NaruSaku one-shot. I believe this is what's referred to as 'fluff'. Ties in to my fic "Naruto: 4th Hokage's Legacy Lives on!". Made to see how my writing's improved from 12/16/20 to 1/9/21
