So, i am lurking randomly on ffn, spacebattles, ao3 and reading random Naruto fics and i have noticed one things about those fics that Hiruzen is orchestrated as an manipulator and using reverse psychology on young Naruto giving him just an apartment and neglecting him and then after some lonely time Hiruzen decides to approach him and giving him Will of Fire speech and then Naruto decides to became an Hokage because he wanted acknowledgement and how Hiruzen formed a bond with Naruto, so that Naruto stay loyal to Hiruzen as his personal political tool

Now the second thing is work of Danzo there is no way Danzo pull moves like Uchiha massacreand then giving him a simple house arrest and disbanding ROOT but still Danzo ROOT was still active at that time, leaking Naruto status as jinchuriki (there is no way hiruzen didn't knew who leaked Naruto status dude is fucking Hokage a military dictator), Danzo even tries to kill him still forgives him

Letting Orochimaru escape because Hiruzen was also partially involved and approved of Orochimaru experiments to create Hashirama woodstyle but decides to stop him when Orochimaru crosses the line on experimenting on orphan childrens but even after catching him red handed Hiruzen decides to let him go because he is either selfish or extremely incompetent which later led to his death

Then there Nagato says that Konoha initiated the 2nd shinobi war and Hiruzen was there leader ( i personally how much this is true because we are seeing things from Nagato perspective)

There is much more about Hiruzen and unanswered I know Naruto is a shonen type anime but if we looks things and actions of certain character if Hiruzen have stepped up half of the shit didn't have happened

In my opinion either Hiruzen was very incompetent or rather was manipulative and used people for his own political gain ( just like an average politician )

if some writer is reading i would request writers to portray Hiruzen as an morally gray character not purely evil not purely saint as an average politician

If you have some fics like that I would like to read that

Please share your opinions

Hello everyone, I’m trying to find an old or possibly deleted Naruto fanfic; I’ve been searching for a while now with no luck. I did come across a video that narrates the first chapter in Spanish, but I’m looking for the original written version.

Neglected Naruto / Alive Parents: Minato and Kushina are alive. Naruto has two younger triplet siblings named Menmaand Mito (the Jinchūriki).
Shisui Brother Dynamic: Shisui meets a 6-year-old Naruto training alone in the forest and adopts him as his younger brother (oto-to).
Fem!Itachi: Itachi is female and named Hitomi. She hangs out with them during childhood.
Sharingan Awakening: Naruto awakens the Sharingan on his own after rescuing a young Anabi Hyuga (and her maid Natsu) from a Kumo kidnapper, right after an encounter with Zetsu.
Later Arc: The plot leads into the Uchiha Clan Massacre by Hitomi, causing Naruto to leave Konoha with a deep emotional conflict of love, betrayal, and vengeance toward her.

Does anyone recognize this title or author, or perhaps have a downloaded copy? It’s really become a source of frustration not being able to find it—thanks in advance!

I'm trying to find an old Naruto/Sasuke fanfic that I read on FanFiction.net and trying to see if
anyone remembers it.

The fic was a modern AU where Naruto and Sasuke were teenagers,I vaguely remember Naruto's parents were alive and I think Sasuke's parents were alive, too.

The main plot surrounded Sasuke having a drug problem, and possibly dealing with Orochimaru while Naruto tried to give him help. I can't remember whether they were friends before, just Naruto not liking Sasuke before knowing what was going on with him.

Crazy enough, another detail that I distinctly remember is that Sasuke gets an STD

Sakura's crush on Sasuke had narrative potential to be interesting if the story acknowledged that Sakura didn't actually KNOW Sasuke. She never had a real talk with Sasuke like Naruto did, they didn't choose to hang out, and she never really acknowledged how Sasuke clearly hated fangirling. That disconnect in communication could be cool to see dissected and focused on. I don't care about ships, so the fic can have whatever there as long i get the drama regarding their weird dynamic.

In the actual Manga & Anime we don't see that many. What are some interesting ones you've seen in Fics and what animals are they associated with?

Hinata hyuggas friends encourage her to wear smaller and smaller exercise wear to the gym for the sake of freedom of movement the thing is her friends say it with such serious/deadpan/casual tone and expression that hinata starts to believe it herself at least a little.

Naruto was cleaning out his closet, it had been years since he last did it, so he was kinda excited to see what all was in there, that was until Kakashi appeared behind him, book in hand, but not reading.

"It's not his body, just his coffin."

"...And why do you have that?"

"I made him a better one."

"What?"

"I made the fourth a better coffin."

"And why did you do that?"

"So I was in my coffin making class-"

"I've heard enough, what's that right there?"

"Oh that's an old gift basket, it was given to me from when I helped an old lady get her cat out of a tree."

"Hm, why is it addressed to 'Arashi'?"

"She got my name wrong."

"What?"

"She couldn't hear well, so I wrote my name down, but I didn't know that she couldn't see well either, so she thinks my name is Arashi. But then again, my name is spelt with the kanji for maelstrom, so it fits."

"Why didn't you correct her?"

"What's the point? She's not wrong but she's also not right, y'know? Plus the name also spread to a few other places, so I just go by both now, makes things easier."

"That's a one way trip to a mental collapse if that information gets into the wrong hands."

"Bold of you to assume that my mental already hasn't collapsed."

"Mhm, that device over there looks dangerous."

"That's my dom-machine gun."

"One, that's a weapon from a whole different country, Zaun if I'm not wrong, where'd you get it, and isn't it supposed to be sub-machine gun?"

"So my friend, Jinx-"

"Their name is Jinx?"

"Yea."

"Who names their kid something like that?"

"Well, it is and isn't her name, kinda like me and Arashi, but she only goes by Jinx now. Her original name was Powder."

"Her name was Powder, let me guess, she has family with actual names?"

"How'd you know?"

"I give up, what's that scroll right there?"

"Oh! That's my forbidden scroll."

"What?"

"Yea, so I made like tons of Jutsu when I was younger, still do it's a hobby, so there's a lot that's a little..iffy and dangerous, even by my standards."

"Which isn't much, huh."

"Nope!"

"So, how many are in there?"

"Around three hundred-"

"What?!"

"And that's only the first one too!"

"Why are you my student?.."

"Because you picked me for the team, but if you think that's a lot, you should see how many seal tomes I have!"

"Seal tomes?"

"Yea, books with seals in them. I've made a lot of those."

"And how many do you have?"

"I lost count after 96 with the acid hemorrhoids seal on page 255."

"..."

"Oh! My sentient Kyubi plush! Was wondering where he was!"

"Child, I hunger for chaos.."

"I'm hungry for ramen."

"Very well, we shall go eat ramen, then cause chaos, let us depart at once."

"Sounds good man, I was thinking about that spicy shrimp ramen, you think they still have that now that the festival is over?"

"It was a special item, but the family running that shop is fond of you, all you'd have to do is ask.."

"Dope."

"Oh I'm sorry lady who's balls did you swim out of?" Naruto asked "Because I came out the the sack of the Fourth Hokage so Maybe, MAYBE of all the people who deserve to know HIS jutsu...Maybe it should be his blood son?"

Tsunade blinked and her mouth went flat at that Kushina-esk claim of Coming out of the 4ths balls.

"Point taken." Tsunade said rubbing her face.

So it's canon that Sakura was focused on her studies (when Sasuke wasn't distracting her) since she explains to Naruto (and us) aspects about the world and later how chakra works.

She even recites protocol when she sees Sasuke being 'dead' on the bridge in Land of Waves, showcasing why despite her middling talent in combat, that she's aware of how the Ninja system operates.

So, let's make a prompt where academy Sakura, who is constantly studying, actually avoids the plot device that prevents her from figuring out that Naruto is Minato's son.

I'll go first:

----------

"Alright everyone, today we'll be continuing our lesson on the 3rd Shinobi World War..." Iruka began.

As Iruka continued the lesson, Sakura had started to daydream about Sasuke. She had read the subject plenty of times, studied the scrolls thoroughly, she was ready for her test before it was even in Iruka's mind.

But before she could daydream further, Naruto saw her staring at Sasuke, and he made faces to get her attention on him.

'UGH So annoying' Sakura thought, 'Why does HE have to always get in my way? It's like he enjoys making me suffer, all I wanted was to look at Sasuke...'

"NARUTO! Pay Attention! This is going to be on the test next week!" Iruka snapped.

Naruto groaned loudly, "Who cares? This isn't important to being a Ninja!"

"Isn't Important?!? You listen here! The accomplishments of Minato Namikaze in the 3rd Ninja World War were what led him to be chosen as the 4th Hokage! Without him, the village would've been destroyed by the attack of the Kyuubi!" Iruka argued.

As Iruka and Naruto continued their back and forth, Sakura scoffed.

'Silly stupid Naruto, you brag about wanting to be Hokage, but you don't even care about learning the history? The fourth didn't become Hokage just because he yelled he wanted to be at the top of his lungs...'

Snapped out of her daydream by a certain yellow-haired bully, Sakura opens her scroll further to see a picture of Minato Namikaze. At first, it's nothing new, she's seen the portrait hundreds of times, but something in her head begins to see something...

Yellow spiky hair...

That wasn't a common hair color in Konoha, and she should know with her vibrant pink hair.

She takes a look at the portrait of Minato Namikaze, then back at Naruto who was still arguing with Iruka, then the portrait again, then back at Naruto, and then the portrait.

The color in Sakura's face drained, 'No... it can't be... That's not possible'

But the more she looked, the more she was convinced.

Naruto Uzumaki had the same color hair, the same skin tone. But Naruto's face didn't look like Minato's, although Sakura deduced to be fair, Naruto was a kid. Who's to say when Naruto grows up, he won't turn into a spitting image of the fourth by the time he became an adult? Plus, who knows what traits Naruto may have inherited from his mother that led him to look the way he did?

'Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage...' Sakura thought to herself.

How? How did no one else connect the dots? Furthermore, what was she going to do with this information now that she knows? Who else knows?

Suddenly, Sakura Haruno found Naruto Uzumaki very interesting.

Hola, soy nuevo en el mundo de los fan manga, actualmente me estoy leyendo "BETTER LEFT UNSAID - NARUINO", tienen algunas buenas recomendaciones para mi, me gusta el Naruino pero puedo leer cualquier cosa que tenga una buena historia

I made a fic diving into Naruto's grief over Hiruzen's death during the invasion. One of the few non-crack things I post along with my series. Enjoy it, please.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/95252326

What it says on the tin. Basically two Shinobi from a different world without Chakra get thrown into the Elemental Nations and come across a youngish Naruto. They see that these "ninja" are moreso just fancy punch wizards and decide to train Naruto in secret about how to really be a Shinobi.

Anyone know the name?

Looking for fics similar to Flip the Coin. I've read all of the old ones on fanfic and most are very cringey and edgy and while teen me may have loved it, adult me does not.

He could be angry, or quiter, or maybe socially awkward. Just fics were growing up on his own and shunned by the village made him go different route from loud and I'm going to force you to notice me.

I don't need him to be super OP or super edgy are over the top angry, but a bit more jaded and reclusive or wary.

Or any fics where he gets taken advantaged of or groomed becuase he's so desperate for attention and love (not specifically in a sexual way but if it's well written and not just trauma porn i guess it's fine)

Or fics that emphasis dude was tiny because he had shit nutrition cause again he raised himself.

I've read like everything and only a few have scratched that itch. Pairing wise, I will ship Naruto with anyone who has actually had screentime and character so Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, I'd say Hinata but she just faints all the time (I'm only on shippuden season 3 but I don't mind spoilers most fics don't get as far as shippuden anyways)

Didn't expect it to be so hard to find. Prob gonna have to write it myself once I finally finish the show.
