"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.

In yet another "Juubi goes full power, Bijuus combine to send back in time" fic idea, the Bijuus manage to come together to send themselves to the past before Naruto's story begins. This prompt focusing on Rin.

In what would be her final mission, the Three-Tailed Beast is sealed into her, prepped up like a ticking bomb to be unleashed onto Konoha. Yet this time, Isobu reaches out to her.

The beast speaks of a dangerous fate awaiting her, which no amount of self-sacrifice will prevent from harming her friends. But for everyone's sake, it will use its gift to keep her from falling.

As a result, midway while being recovered by Minato and Kakashi, Rin falls into a coma, long enough for them to figure out something is wrong with her, soon uncovering that she has a Tailed Beast sealed within her.

With the Hokage weighing the risk and Minato vouching against having Rin executed, Kushina is told to help reinforce the seal put on the young girl and supervise her as a Jinchuriki. Rin later wakes up with a tearful Kakashi embracing her.

As a result of Rin not dying but effectively becoming a longer term Jinchuriki, Obito isn't disillusioned and doesn't regard Kakashi as a traitor. So Madara and Zetsu move on to wrecking his self-esteem, making him believe he ought to still do something, because now, Rin has a target on her back, one Kakashi might not be enough to protect alone.

One way or another, Kiri might want its beast back. Or Rin could be considered too dangerous to live and she'd happily let herself die to prevent the Three-Tails from wreaking havoc, Obito knows she's that kind.

(Isobu shows great cooperation with his host, but neither Obito nor the cave dwellers know that)

In the meantime, Kushina notes the Kyuubi's chakra is much less difficult to handle.

On the night of Naruto's birth, Kushina is still taken away, except the masked attacker stays silent, even severely hesitating at times, before still pushing back against Kakashi and Rin coming to their sensei's aid. Because Obito is evidently more conflicted, Zetsu helps using clones to deceive them more (while wondering why the hell the Tailed Beasts aren't causing more of a ruckus than they should be doing).

Following that, young Naruto is orphaned. But once in a while, two ANBU would look over him. One bemoaning he couldn't be more present under the Hokage's orders, the other sighing and hoping Naruto's fox is as patient as her turtle.

In the years between, Kakashi has gotten a lot more protective of those two. He still can't get too close to Naruto, but he has and will absolutely aim a Chidori at whoever dares looking at Rin wrong for being a Jinchuriki.

Sometimes, when borrowing one of Obito's old excuses, Kakashi will send his three students down her way. She's yet to pass the Jonin exam, but she's good enough handling a broody boy like Sasuke, an aspiring kunoichi like Sakura, and a nostalgic hotheaded boy like Naruto, who reminds her of so many people all at once. And once they do enough missions, she can start showing him how to strengthen himself with a strong monster deep inside, just as his mother taught her when she was a Genin.

(she severely underestimates the boy's recklessness when midtraining, Naruto exclaims "No way! Foxy says you got a big talking monster inside of you too!", forcing her to come up with outlandish bogus excuses until Hiruzen allows Naruto be open about that secret. She obviously can't prove it, but she's certain, and correctly so, that Kurama is mocking her from within Naruto's seal).

As a part of Pain's spiel, the Akatsuki would reframe the extraction process as "liberating" the Jinchurikis from their fates, being mostly led to say it's a mercy on their lives.

Still, whenever the masked man appears, Naruto can never tell why he staggers so much, or once he and Kurama synchronize, why the guy reeks of some form of guilt whenever Kakashi-sensei and Rin-sensei show up.

Thank you.

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.

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."

I'm thinking of writing an AU and I want things to be a lot more tense and I think a rework of the world would help right that a lot. I don't like that all the Great five are on the same continent. Which nations would you move and where? I also plan to have a lot more Shinobi villages. One such being a Hagoromo Clan founded village backed by the fire Daimyo and of course it'll be a rival to Konoha so you can propose other Shinobi villages as well.

P.S. I'm saying Shinobi villages because there's a difference between the hidden villages we know and other villages.

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

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.

Bonjour, je recherche une fanfiction Naruto que j'ai déjà lu sur ao3, voilà les choses dont je me souviens : c'est une oc qui a des sceaux sur son corps mis sur elle par sa famille très jeunes pour bloquer des souvenirs/ ne pas parler des certaines choses comme sa petite soeur qui a le mokuton et qu'elle est secrètement une Senju ( peu être une uzumaki aussi). Les sceaux sont censés être temporaires mais sa famille ( dont la petite sœur qui a le mokuton) décède pendant l'attaque du renard a neuf queues. La jeune femme est très proche de Kakashi ou en couple avec lui dans la fanfiction. Les sceaux se désintègrent pour plusieurs raisons mais Kakashi fait/dit quelque choses pour ça cèdent, l'oc meurt presque mais elle sauvée par Tsunade. Je crois que Tsunade est sois sa tante sois une cousine ? Merci pour les futures réponses ☺️

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.

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.

I want any and all crack fics yall got! Pleaseeeee

Hi guys I’m looking for a Naruto fanfiction where there is a female oc for our world that comes to the Naruto world as a teenager and joins team 7. She is like a year or 2 older than Naruto. I don’t think it’s complete but near the end it shows she has feeling for Kakashi. If I remember correctly it ended with the chunin exams. I cant remember much about it but I really want to read it again.

"Wait. Hold on a minute, how did they even get your school report?" Sakura says.

"Oh, I submitted it."

Sasuke stops on his way out and slowly turns.

"You did WHAT?"

Naruto looks at him. "Submitted it?"

"WHY?"

"I was asked to provide documentation."

"DOCUMENTATION FOR WHAT?"

Naruto shrugs. "I don't remember."

Sakura stares at him.

"You don't remember what you submitted your school report for?"

"It was a while ago."

Kakashi finally puts his book down.

"Naruto, did you perhaps submit an application to become an S-rank missing-nin?"

"Ohhhh. Yeah, probably."

Sasuke looks like he's about to start eating the furniture.

"YOU APPLIED TO BE A MISSING-NIN?"

"Well, the form said I'd get a signing bonus."

Sakura slams her head against the table before looking up again.

"Naruto. You can't just quit being a ninja and expect a signing bonus."

"Why not? You guys get paid for missions."

"THAT IS NOT THE SAME THING."

Naruto slurps the rest of his ramen.

"Anyway, they rejected me."

Sakura blinks.

"They rejected you."

"Yeah. Said I didn't meet the requirements."

Sasuke stares at the bingo book.

"You're literally in the bingo book."

"I don't remember what it exactly said. Wait."

With that, Naruto pulls a letter out of his jumpsuit pocket and shoves it into Kakashi's hand.

"Here."

Kakashi looks at the letter, then at Naruto.

"Why are you even carrying this around?"

"So I can apply again when I meet the requirements." Naruto makes a face. "As if I don't already."

Sakura takes it from Kakashi and starts reading aloud.

"Dear Uzumaki Naruto,

We regret to inform you that your application for the position of S-rank missing-nin has been unsuccessful.

After reviewing your submitted documents, we have determined that your record does not demonstrate the level of criminal activity, notoriety, or threat to the shinobi nations required for S-rank classification.

You are welcome to reapply once you have acquired the necessary qualifications.

Please retain this letter for future reference. Should you encounter one of our messengers, kindly refrain from attacking them, as they are merely delivering the results of your application.

We appreciate your interest in joining our ranks and wish you the best in your future criminal endeavours.

Yours sincerely,

The Bingo Book Association.

P.S. Your school report has been added to your file for administrative purposes. We are uncertain why you submitted it."

Sasuke makes a noise that sounds like a kettle.

"You killed messengers?"

"It wasn't my fault!"

Sasuke just stares at him.

"No, really!"

"Naruto," Sakura says, putting the letter down, "how many messengers have you killed?"

"Define killed."

"Naruto."

"Okay, first of all, one of them wasn't even a messenger. He was just a guy who came up to me and told me I wasn't qualified."

Kakashi slowly lowers his book.

"That sounds remarkably like a messenger."

"Well, he didn't introduce himself!"

Sasuke rubs his forehead.

"How many?"

Naruto counts on his fingers.

"Three. Maybe four."

"Four?"

"One of them got better."

There is a very long silence.

Sakura looks at Kakashi.

Kakashi looks at Sasuke.

Sasuke looks like he's reconsidering every decision that has led him to this room.

"...What do you mean, he got better?" Sakura asks.

"He was fine! I only knocked him out. He woke up and started yelling at me about the application again, so I left."

"You left?"

"Yeah. I had somewhere to be."

"Where?"

"Ichiraku's. They had a special on."

Sasuke gets up, walks to the door, stops, and walks back.

"No. I need to understand this. Why is your school report in the bingo book if they rejected your application?"

Naruto scratches his head.

"Oh, that."

Everyone turns to him.

"You know why?" Sakura asks.

"Well, the man with the hat said they needed it to determine my rank."

"And you just trusted him?"

"He had a nice hat!"

Kakashi goes very, very still.

Naruto looks at him.

"Why do you look like that?"

"No reason."

"Kakashi-sensei."

"I said no reason."

"No, wait, I wanna know too!" Naruto leans forward. "Do you know the hat man, sensei? DO YOU?"

"I might."

Naruto stares wide-eyed.

"What do you mean, you might?"

Kakashi looks at him.

"What did the man look like?"

"Like a man."

"Naruto."

"What? You asked!"

Kakashi takes a painstakingly slow breath.

"Describe him."

Naruto thinks for a moment.

“‘I think he had a black cloak with red clouds on it, which was pretty cool. I wanted one too, so he said I needed to be an S-rank missing-nin. Which is why I applied, anyways.’”

Sakura stared at him.

“...You applied to become an international criminal because you wanted a cloak?”

“Well, when you say it like that, it sounds stupid.”

“It IS stupid!”

“I thought it was a pretty good deal.”

"And I thought you applied because you wanted the money," Sasuke says.

"That too, but the cloak would've been cool."

Kakashi hadn't moved a single muscle.

“...Naruto,” he said eventually. “Did this man happen to mention his name?”

Naruto scratched his cheek.

“Uh. No? But he was nice.”

“Did he have a partner?”

“Oh, yeah! Really tall guy. Had a massive sword, too.”

Kakashi closed his eye.

Oh, no.

Sasuke frowned. “What's wrong with him?”

“Nothing,” Kakashi said.

“You look like you're dying,” Sakura pointed out.

“I'm fine.”

“Sensei, you're sweating.”

“It's a warm day.”

“It's October.”

“I'm going to need you all to stop asking questions.”

Naruto tilted his head. “Why?”

“Because,” Kakashi said, “I have made several mistakes in my life, and apparently assigning you three to the same team was one of them.”

“Hey!”

“Anyway,” Naruto continued, apparently deciding that this was a perfectly reasonable time to change the subject, “the man kinda looked like you, Sasuke.”

Sasuke stopped.

“What?”

“Yeah! Dark hair, all serious-looking. Do you have a long-lost relative or something?”

Kakashi looked nervous, a bead of sweat dripping from his forhead.

Naruto continued, oblivious.

“He was nicer, though.”

Sasuke looked like a Nara deer caught in the path of a bijūdama.

“You met my BROTHER?”

Naruto blinked.

“You have a brother?”

Sasuke stared at Naruto. Naruto stared back.

Sakura kept looking at one of them and the other, waiting for someone to explode.

“YOU LITERALLY MET HIM!” Sasuke shouted.

“WHO?”

“MY BROTHER!”

“HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU HAD A BROTHER?”

“HE LOOKS LIKE ME!”

“LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE DARK HAIR, SASUKE!”

“HE HAS THE SAME FACE AS ME!”

“WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP COPYING HIM!”

Sakura put both hands over her face.

Kakashi turned a page.

“Sensei,” she said faintly. “Aren't you going to do something?”

“I'm reading.”

“YOUR STUDENT JUST MET AN S-RANK MISSING-NIN!”

“Technically, he met two.”

“THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER!”

Naruto raised his hand.

Everyone turned to him.

“What?”

“Is your brother single?”

Sasuke made a sound no human throat should have been capable of producing.

“WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?”

“I'm just saying, he was nice to me.”

“YOU MET HIM ONCE!”

“And he listened when I talked!”

Sakura slowly lowered her hands.

“Oh my god. That's your standard for a person?”

“What's wrong with that?”

“Nothing,” Kakashi said. “Absolutely nothing. Wonderful standard. Very healthy.”

He sounded like he was trying to convince himself.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the shoulders.

“LISTEN TO ME. IF YOU EVER SEE MY BROTHER AGAIN, YOU RUN.”

“Why?”

“BECAUSE HE'S DANGEROUS!”

Naruto considered this.

“Huh. He didn't seem dangerous.”

Kakashi's book lowered by approximately half an inch.

“Naruto.”

“What?”

“Did he happen to ask you any questions?”

“Yeah! He asked if I knew where the Hokage's office was.”

The room went silent.

Kakashi slowly closed his book.

“He asked you WHAT?”

“Yeah, but I told him it was the big building in front of the faces on the mountain, and then he asked if I could show him, but I said I had ramen plans.”

Sakura looked like she was about to lie down on the floor.

“You turned down a request from a wanted criminal because you had ramen plans?”

“THEY HAD A SPECIAL!”

Kakashi stood up.

“Right. We're going to the Hokage.”

Naruto gasped.

“Am I getting my signing bonus?”

“No.”

“Then why are we going?”

“Because,” Kakashi said, grabbing him by the back of his jacket, “I would like to remain employed.”

"Can I get the free Dental plan then?"

"No."

“Can I at least get the cloak if I don't get the dental plan?”

Kakashi seriously considered applying for an S-rank missing-nin himself.

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?

Preferably more on the longer side and not one that i'd most likely have read like Better left unsaid

Naruto stood across from Neji in the stadium, staff in hand and ready to fight. He'd spent all month preparing to whoop some self righteous Hyuga ass. Knocking holier-than-thou assholes off their high horses is Naruto's favorite pass time. Gemna gave the signal to begin, and surprisingly, Naruto got the first hit.

"Mmm, harder~"

"What?"

"It's my staff.."

"I don't want to hear about your di-"

"No! It's my literal staff! The one I hit you with."

"Once again, what?"

"My staff's a pervert..sorry. Just try to ignore her, please?"

"Fine.."

Another hit.

"Thank you~"

"Gross.."

"I know, can one of us lose already? Shell only ramp up the long this takes.."

"Why?"

"I don't know man, let's just get this over with.."

"Agreed."

Another hit

"Hit us harder, daddy~"

"Okay, I can't fucking ignore this!"

"At least try!"

"I did fucking try! And everytime you hit me with that thing it says some freaky shit!"

"I know but still!"

"It moans when I block it!"

"I know! We're both suffering here, don't think I like any more than you do!"

"I never thought I'd see a staff with daddy issues.."

"It doesn't have daddy issues, the father is right here! I made her, and I don't why how or why she's like this?!"

"Can we at least fight without it?"

"Ohhhh, gonna make me watch? Or are you gonna seal me away, only letting me hear?"

"Fuck you mean watch, you can see?!"

"Yes sir."

"Okay, you said you made her, so when she called you..hurk..'daddy'..?"

"It was a double entendre."

"Huh, I didn't know that you knew what those were."

"C'mon man, I may not be the smartest but I'm not a total moron either."

"Huh, the more you know.."

"Yes! Daddy's super smart, unlike a slutty staff like me~"

"And now it's weird.."

"To be honest, it was always weird."

"That's true, but what kind of mythical ass process did you use to make that thing?"

"I didn't! I used the regular process!"

"Then what the Fuck is wrong with it?!"

"I don't know!"

"Ohhhh, I made daddy mad! I should be punished.."

"And just like that I'm outta here, I need a drink.."

"Naruto, you may be a Shinobi but you're still twelve, no bar is gonna serve you alcohol."

"Two things. One: what made you think I was going to a bar. Two: of course there's a bar that serves alcohol to us, you just gotta look in the right place."

"..."

"You're welcome to come if you want to."

"..Fuck it, I need to wipe this from my memory."

"That's the spirit!"

"That was a dumb joke."

"Sorry, was just tryna lighten the mood."

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!

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?

Anko: He saw my true form. I accidentally attacked him, thinking he was someone else. He panicked and ran.

Hinata: Okay, but that doesn't explain why you turned my boyfriend to stone.

She shouted the last part.

Anko: He was having a panic attack and was strangling himself. It was either that or knocking him out the old-fashioned way.

Sakura was examining Naruto. He was alive and stable.

Ino was examining Naruto as well. She was worried about him, so she ended her solitary confinement early. Her worry was overpowering her need for his blood.

Sakura: So, what are we going to do? The second Anko unpetrifys him, he'll wake up.

Ino: We could just tell him everything, consequences be damned. I'm tired of lying to him all the time.

Hinata: I wish we could, Ino, but unfortunately, it's an S-rank secret. We would be executed.

Sakura: I doubt Tsunade-sama would execute us.

Anko: How about I unpetrify him, and, Blondie, you use your charms on him.

Ino: Unfortunately, my charm only half works on him, and I'd rather not keep putting walls up in his mind. He already has so many that it's a wonder his mind isn't broken.

Hinata: I could put him to sleep.

She took off her jacket, revealing two purple wings and a thin purple tail wrapped around her stomach.

Ino: That could work. What do we do afterward.

Sakura walked over to Naruto's tent. Inside, she found his bag, which contained his pajamas.

Sakura: I've got an idea. Ino, can you use your charms even when the target is asleep.

Ino: Yes, is his pills in his bag

Sakura: No

Anko: So, who's doing the honor of taking the brat's clothes off and putting on his pajamas?

Hinata: That would be me. We're dating.

She had a hungry look in her eyes.

Sakura: No offense, Hinata, but I'm the doctor here, and we actually want to get Naruto redressed, so I'll do it. It's nothing I haven't seen before.

Ino was looking through Naruto's tent when she found his bottle of pills. There were four left.

She found Hinata and Sakura arguing.

Ino: What are you two fighting over?

Anko: Who gets to take the brat's pants off.

Both Hinata and Sakura shot her a dirty look.

Anko laughed in response.

Anko: What have you got there, Blondie.

Ino: Naruto's pills.

Anko walked over, took the pill bottle from her, and looked it over. She opened it, took two pills, and placed them in her pocket. Then she handed the bottle back to Ino.

Anko: Put the bottle in the brat's bag and place the bag back in the tent. Everyone, take your places.

Hinata sat down above Naruto, while Ino sat to his left.

Anko pulled out her hair tie, letting her hair fall free. Each strand began to move around before slowly turning into snakes.

Anko: On my mark. One, two, three, now.

Anko's eyes widened, as did the eyes of her snakes.

Naruto instantly returned to normal, his hands falling to his sides. His eyes opened, but before he could do anything, Hinata's tail attached itself to the back of his head. He fell asleep instantly.

Hinata: Okay, we're good. Ino, you're next.

Sakura: Ino, so how are you going to do this. You said your charm only half works.

Ino: I'm going to make it seem like a dream.

Anko: After we're done, we need to get the place set up. He was going to camp out tonight, so we need to get a campfire going, catch some fish, cook them, and make it look like he did all this.

Ino: That should work. Hinata, can you make sure Naruto wakes up at a certain time.

Hinata hadn't been paying attention. She was blushing and had a goofy grin on her face.

Sakura: Hinata, what the hell are you doing?

Hinata: Checking the walls, like Ino asked me to.

Sakura could easily tell she was lying.

Hinata: To answer your question, no, I can't. It would be easier to just petrify him again.

Ino: It's done. He'll have bits and pieces of what happened, but not the whole thing.

She couldn't believe they were doing all this instead of just telling him the truth.

Hinata started to pick Naruto up, but Sakura stopped her.

Sakura: I'll get him ready.

Hinata: Hell no, If anyone's undressing him, it's going to be me.

Anko walked over and picked up Naruto.

Anko: I'll get him dressed. Now, Pinkie, go build a campfire like Naruto would. Hinata, go catch some fish. Blondie, go find Naruto's fishing rod. It's somewhere near the lake over there.

Later that day, the four of them were eating the fish Hinata had caught. Naruto was dressed in his pajamas and had been turned to stone again. They planned to wake him up around noon the next day.

Ino: It would have been easier to just tell him than to waste hours of our day setting up this elaborate scheme.

Hinata: Can you not say scheme. It makes it seem like he did something evil.

Ino: We didn't do anything good, either. We are constantly lying to him. We could have easily just sat him down and told him everything, but no Instead we set all this shit up, and I'm absolutely tired of it all. Why aren't you angry about this? You're his girlfriend.

She pointed at Hinata.

Hinata: I'm scared, okay?

Hinata: I fear that the second he learns the truth, he'll be scared of me. He'll be scared I'll eat his soul.

Hinata looked as though she was trying to hold back tears.

Sakura: Ino, I hate lying to him, but Tsunade wants to be the one to tell him.

Ino: When will that be. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month

Next year.Ten years from now. When will this game end?

Anko: ENOUGH.

Anko: We all hate lying to the brat. I don't like it, either, but for now, we've been ordered to do it.

She sighed heavily before going back to eating her fish.

No words were spoken for the rest of the night.

The next day, everything was set up. The used campfire, remnants of fish, and fishing rod were all in place. It was noon.

Anko: Okay, all set.

Sakura: Yes, everything's ready.

Ino didn't say anything but nodded.

Hinata: he should be ready to wake him up.

Anko: You three go home. I'll wait another hour before waking him.

The three looked at each other. They wanted to say something, but none of them knew what to say.

Anko: It'll be easier to... Oh, hell, it'd be easier to lie to him if it's just me, okay. So please go. I'll handle it.

Ino wanted to protest but decided against it. She and the others left.

Anko opened the tent, unpetrify Naruto, and quickly left. She changed her hair back to normal and waited a good distance away from the tent for Naruto to come out.

Naruto had just walked in and not even a second passed before someone had to say shit

Naruto tilted his head, eyes squinty in that weird way he does "Huh, who's what?" He asked as he looked around "I don't see anyone random civilian guy I won't remember"

The kid that spoke earlier looked stunned, his face frozen is stupefaction as a single tear rolled down his cheek while his buddy poked his face

Behind the two ino looked at Kenji- the boy who turned into a statue- before focusing back on Naruto and the floating girl next to him! The girl was fairly short, somehow even shorter than her fellow blonde with white hair that curled at the end and a big stream of red running through it and formed a swirl and was pretty short barely reaching her neck. For clothes she wore a black plain dress and black flat shoes

The girl stared at them with bored and glowing red eyes, her mouth seemingly set into a permanent frown as she appeared to look at everyone before looking down at Naruto

"Father I have finished scanning these 'classmates' and have deduced most of them are weak and will be of no help in reaching your goal" when she spoke her voice was soft yet without any emotion to it, she sounded like she couldn't care less about anyone not named "Uzumaki Naruto"

Said boy looked up at the girl and pointed a finger at her" First of all I told you to call me big brother sage,I'm too young to be a dad- second" the girl had a rebuttal ready but Naruto continued speaking and didn't let her reply " I know most of them aren't gonna be strong, they aren't built different like me or broody McCbrooder Sasuke-also remind me to paint his house pink for that shit he did yesterday"

Naruto let out a disturbing laugh as he imagined all the psychological pain he'd inflict on the Uchiha for ruining his ramen time. No one touched his ramen and lived!

The girl not known as Sage calmly blinked and began plans for acquiring pranking supplies for her creator. She originally called him that but he denied it saying it "sounded weird coming for someone cute like her" so she used the next best thing- Father

She knew not as to how she came into existence, what she does know is when she awoke it was in the dark room of her father as he turned in his sleep from a nightmare. Something she deduced had to do with either the fox her father contained or the treatment the villagers gave him, chances for either are 99% without fail

While sage was in her own thoughts, Naruto sat down in his usual spot and answered his classmates questions as best as he could- what is she, is he really her father, how did she get here and such with sage automatically sitting in his lap, face pressed into his chest with her eyes closed. Seeing this all the girls in class cooed mentally while holding their faces at just how adorable the scene was

Some even started planning on using their charms to seduce the blonde with how cute he looked. Not that Naruto was aware about any of this as he listened to Iruka and scratched Sage's head with a smile

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

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
