The sealing ritual was messy. Rushed and desperate, the Fourth Hokage inadvertently sent the Kyuubi into the void, and instead sealed within his firstborn something else entirely. The ragged, gaping tear the Shinigami had ripped open in the realm of the living had been devoured, consumed by the Five-Point Seal… and fused into the very essence of an infantile child.

Now he must choose: A Path of Honor? A Path of Duty?

The Uzumaki clan, said to have been masters of fuinjutsu and the descendants of Asura Otsutsuki. However what if the truth about them was not so simple. What if there was something more to them other than that? And what if Naruto finds that out early on? What could be different? Find out- Alright the summary is starting to become cringe. Simple Very Powerful Nice guy Smart Naruto

Naruto is born 6 years before his parent's death, the Kyuubi sealed into his younger brother, Menma. Experiencing loss, Naruto grows very differently, unlocking a long lost Kekkei Genkai and a gift from a lost friend. With the gift of his friend and his Mokuton, much will be different. Smart!Sharingan!Mokuton!Naruto. NaruMeiTayuHarem/MenmaSakuIno/SasuHina/KakaAnko

Whenever one thinks of the Uzumaki clan, they picture a bunch of loud red heads that can draw really well, not a quiet blonde with a mind so sharp that it could cut steel. Born nearly a century early, during the era of the Warring States, how will this one small detail change all that is known about the shinobi world?

Instead of being a simple orphan, or a child of random civilians, Namikaze Minato was born as Senju Minato, member of the Senju clan and a grandson of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. See what happens when Naruto grows up as an heir to 'The clan with a thousand skills' at his disposal. AN: AU, Strong/Smart Naruto. Senju Naruto.

What if Naruto was taken away from Leaf village and was raised by Tsunade as her own son..? What will happen when he meets another blonde in Sand..? What will happen to the Shinobi world when The Child of Prophecy, finds something that was not even found by the Sage of The Six Paths himself..? NarutoTemari pairing. More chapters coming soon.

Hashirama's black hair was not his only similarity to the Uchiha. The Mokuton alongside his unawakened Rinnegan were a result of Senju and Uchiha blood mixing, resulting in a reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths. Now passed onto Naruto with the knowledge of the prophecy, this power will either save or destroy the world, and Naruto's path is not the one you might expect.

People are defined by the choices they make. This realization forces Naruto to think more about Sasuke's defection and what it means to be a ninja of the leaf. He has three years now...three years to become the best damn ninja in the world. AU after Sasuke retrieval arc. First chapter fixed and reuploaded, don't miss it.

Under him, he learns to defend himself, as well as his heritage. He finally returns to Konoha after two months, forging his own path through trials and hardship to discover who he is and how strong can he be.

Naruto's reaction to his isolation is different from canon. How will Konoha deal with a Seal Master Jinchuuriki with muted affect and a perverted streak a mile wide?

What if Naruto trained seriously from the beginning? What if he discovered the secret to a certain technique? This question would open the door to unlimited possibilities regarding his journey. Let's see how far Naruto could go in his ninja career. Btw the profile photo in this story wasn't mine, it was drawn in manga therefore it's owned by Masashi Kishimoto

Correctly placed stones can change the course of a river, and the rise and fall of entire civilizations can be altered. Impersonating Sasuke after team selections proves to be a bad decision on Naruto's part and Sakura extracts her pound of flesh in revenge...the consequences of which shake the foundations of the future and Naruto's beliefs. Shimura Danzo just takes the advantage.

AU... YATTF... The Allied Shinobi Forces are on their last legs. The Jūbi has launched a massive Bijūdama at them. The former Hokage are preoccupied to save them, so Kurama and the rest of the Bijū have come up with a last hope. Now Naruto and Sakura must change history to save the world. Strong!Naruto!Sakura! New Senjutsu Style! Minor crossover with Avatar The Last Air bender!

His aim was a little to the right and not quite as deep. She didn't fall quite so hard onto his attack. Now a little boy might have a chance of having an older sister-figure and the Leaf gains another Biju. How will a mad man react when the reason for his quest is proven false? Will the Scarecrow be as guilty?

Rated M for Thirteen year olds killing people, adult themes, and strong language. Smart, strong and eventual seal master and eventual kind of OP Naruto. Picture by wilczyca117 on deviantart.

Naruto is born an orphan with no last name to speak of, in a village of clan's and elitism. what will he do, where will he turn? and what exactly does the word "classified" mean? Naruto will find the truth of his roots beyond the boundaries of the Leaf Village (but is this a case of be careful what you wish for?)

"I'm Naruto Senju or Uzumaki. I don't mind either. My dream is to become the greatest Hokage ever and to fix Grandpa Hashirama's mistakes. He should have listened to Uncle Tobi at the summit. But don't worry grandpa. I will fufill your dream" AU in which Naruto is a Senju and has bigger dreams than just being Hokage. Pairing is going to be either with Haku or Hinata, maybe both.

On the run-up to the Chunin exams, Naruto is not taught by the veritable toad sage, but he is instead trained by Ebisu. He employs some radical tactics during his training, some would call him insane, others would say that the small act would hinder the young boy's career, but Ebisu think differently, "Perhaps I will be responsible for training two Hokage's in my lifetime."

The one thing that couldn't hide in the world of Shinobi was ill-intent. Evil. Sin. It was rampant throughout the Elemental Nations and infested every village to it's core. That's why the Child was needed. He could sense the true heart of man, and he would know the truth that the Kyuubi no Kitsune would profess- That the world of Shinobi was rotten. That it was time for an end.

Itachi's hand is forced; Naruto's life is changed. With an unexpected and unfit mentor, Naruto learns about life outside of Konoha while grappling with the consequences of every move he makes. Can he become strong enough to keep the Akatsuki at bay? Will he burn out before he can defeat them? Is he the ultimate sacrifice or too great a cost? Naruto has to find out for himself.

He, being whispered to by a demon, in a world that doesn't know him, surrounded by those, who don't trust him, just wants to mean something.

Everyone lies. Naruto knew, but for happiness, he chose to ignore it. Reality, however, had a cruel way of reeling him in. Naruto has one dream, to stand above all, to have a shadow that dwarfs all others, to be the greatest so much so that no one can deny his existence

It was a sucker punch to the Sandaime Hokage. Just after the Uchiha massacre, Naruto disappeared from the village. For years, there was nothing, he'd even thought maybe Itachi took him. But when Naruto suddenly shows up at Konoha for the Chunin exams years later, he realizes the truth. Sharingan Naruto

What if Naruto had Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha blood coursing through his veins? What if he had been trained in the ways of the shinobi since birth? What if he had known from the start that he carried the weight of a village on his shoulders? This is the story of Uzumaki Naruto-jinchuuriki, sharingan wielder, anbu, mentor-the greatest prodigy.

A Jiraiya who takes his godfather responsibilities seriously teaches a young Naruto the Shadow Clone jutsu. In Naruto's hands this jutsu is a training tool unlike any other. But to a young boy growing up in a village that ignores and fears him, the Shadow Clone is more than a method for gaining power. It is an escape.

Kakashi makes a promise, and all the elemental nations will be changed forever.

A mask is worn to hide the real you. Life has a way to break these and show the real you. Naruto should have grown up normally like any other child of Konoha, but the villagers wouldn't allow that. Now the mask he bore is gone and everyone will see the cold monster underneath. With the mask broken a new power awakens inside! The Emperor shall rule all! Cold!Naruto Narutox?

And in the darkness awakens an ancient threat more terrifying than the Akatsuki stirs thought only of myths from a lost and forgotten age." :huge world expansion story, OC.

What would have been greatly changes when a masked man fails to kill a red haired habanero. Alas, things can't be happy in the life of a shinobi when a botched mission with great consequences leads to her demise. Her child growing up with the knowledge of the source of their scorn shapes him into the type of shinobi his mother despised. But oh well, that's what got her killed.

Warning: Extreme Smut. Long ago, before the Juubi's rampage, there were gods. Then those gods vanished, and with them, so did men. Now, Uzumaki Naruto must do his duty, as the god of Fertility...and Lust.

It was their last, desperate gambit. Their last hope. They pinned everything on a prayer that he could save them...and now...he's not even sure if he can make it count anymore.

Death was not an option. His only salvation was to create a world where he could watch his family live happily. A world where he could stay in peace. A world where humans did not hate each other. Maybe he could. His family seemed to have utmost belief in him. Yes, Naruto's always been different. Different from the other Uchihas. Sharingan and Rinnegan Naruto. Godlike Naruto.

Thanks for the offer though, Pervy Sage." Naruto answered after staring dully for a few moments. Apparently, a broken neck and a fist through your shoulder is enough to make anyone think.

What would happen if Naruto gave up on his dream of becoming Hokage? There's only so much failure one can take before changing, for better or worse. This is my first attempt at publishing any of the multiple stories I tried to write at some point so do not expect pairing plans as of publication. Criticism is welcome.

During their stay, Naruto involves himself in a skirmish between one of Kumo's jinchuriki and the Akatsuki. Yugito's impressive use of her bijuu leads Jiraiya to ask the Raikage for an incredible favour. Naruto's homecoming might need to wait a little longer.

Naruto thought a ninja's life was of a hero, rescuing pretty Princesses and the village from enemies. Zabuza however showed him there was much more to being a Shinobi. Is it protecting a village that despises him? A team that hates him? A sensei who doesn't train him? And a pink haired friend that hits him every time he asked her out? Will he find out what it means to be a Shinobi?

Naruto, the red-headed son of the Fourth Hokage, lost his parents the day he was born. But was he left all alone? Currently being rewrited.

How different can a story be, from one simple change? Abandoned. Anyone is free to use the story, but I ask that you send me a link to what you create.

He blinked a few times confused at his own hands. They were so...Tiny. Realization set in at the same moment he noticed that Kurama was happily asleep with a smirk on his face. That fox had over powered the Jutsu on purpose. "FUCK!" Naruto shouted even as his voice came out much higher and much squeakier than ever before. "KAMI DAMNIT! WORTHLESS FUCKING FURBALL!"

Naruto was born a year early to the worst traitors in the history of the Leaf Village. An outcast because of his heritage, he has lived his life with others denying his very existence. But now that he's on a team with Guy-sensei, Neji and Tenten, maybe he can find his place and the answers he seeks...

Senju Hashirama's dream to unify all of the warring clans of his country under one village remained just that; a dream. Generations later, the ninja world still consists of pure clan affiliation. Enacting peace through understanding has fallen to the side. A catalyst is needed for any kind of change to occur, and it is all found in a little boy... for better or for worse. AU.

A small change. A selfless if hasty, choice. A life can be changed for the better or worse If Naruto Uzumaki had met the right person at the right time...

Naruto, tired of the village after their reaction to him saving Sasuke, decides to leave. In an attempt to keep Naruto from becoming a missing nin Tsunade orders him to go to Suna. Along the way be runs into hurt Iwa Kunoichi and helps her. See how just one act can change entire fate of one person. Smart/Grey Naruto.

The mission to Nami no Kuni shook the Team Seven and made their sensei act more seriously. This is the effect of his new determination and outlook.

What if Naruto took Zabuza and Haku's sacrifice to heart? What if he decided to take Zabuza's sword and learned to be a better ninja not just for his sake, but for the sake of the fallen ninja's legacy? A functioning Team 7, with undecided parings and no overpowering for the most part.

Naruto learns about his heritage early on. Understanding, that there's more to a shinobi than jutsu, he trains hard, to one day surpass all previous Hokage.

Minato's final wishes are granted and Naruto is hailed as a hero for becoming the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. When Naruto is greeted by the villagers with smiles instead of frowns, the whole world is turned upside down. The changes shift Naruto's life radically and motivate the blond to become the greatest shinobi in Konoha's history. All in order to protect the people's smiles.

It was hard growing up without a sense of belonging, though you'd be hard pressed to tell when he always ran around with that toothy smile plastered on his face. Discovering what it means to be an Uzumaki, Naruto re-prioritizes, and with the help of his friends, will leave behind a legacy his ancestors can be proud of. Seal master!Naruto. Smart!Naruto. NaruHina

Kakashi is a know genius. Like the fourth, like Orochimaru. Naruto is his teachers kid, meaning that if the the man had lived Kakashi would have been some sort of older brother. So I figured: what is Kakashi didn't fall into depression after Obioto's died(we all know he did, almost killing himself in ANBU work) what if Kakashi went about teaching a bit more seriously?

The night of the Kyubi attack, the Third Hokage insists that Minato allow him to perform the sealing of the Kyubi so that Minato may live and lead The Hidden Leaf Village.

The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew! Godlike Naruto! Good Madara! Bloodline Naruto! First/Second/Third/Fourth Shinobi War Naruto!

He looked at the kid, and he was all wrong. He didn't have red hair, and his eyes were a periwinkle blue instead of the distinctive purple. But behind the color of his hair and the shade of his eyes, his soul was Uzumaki. "You'll do, kid," he said, "You'll do." Fuuinjutsu!Naruto

Naruto has been treated like an outcast from the very minute he was born. Is it any wonder why anyone would take advantage of that? Too bad for Konoha, Naruto attracted the worst traitor yet.

UP FOR ADOPTION- Apologies to fans of the story. It was about what if Kushina knew a secret art that saved Minato from death that day, and woke up 11 years later in a world where his best friend is dead, his father hangs like the shadow he is, and his son needs him to become the man he can become while the world reacts to The Yellow Flash return
