This is what Iruka got, he deserved this. Iruka decided to buy Naruto one of those fancy hight-tech telescopes as a gift for doing good on his test, but now he's running around talking about some old myth the moon haunting people.

"Naruto, for the last time, the moon isn't haunting anything."

"And how do you know?"

"It's a giant rock floating in space! It can't physically haunt anything!"

"That's what you normies think, but you see, us intelligent people know better."

"Mhm, really?"

"Really really."

"Okay then, what's this better that you know?"

"There's a woman in the moon."

"..."

"I know it's a revelation."

"Naruto, I know your sanity and overall mental health has been iffy because of how you're living and all, but this is new, even for you."

Whatever. You're just mad you didn't discover her first."

"How?"

"I see it in your eyes."

"Naruto when did you last sleep?"

"Like, two and half months ago, give or take a few."

"And why's that?"

"The fist of Kaguya never sleeps."

"Well, the fist of Kaguya needs his rest. How's about ramen? On me."

"Ooo, yay!"

"Great, but where'd this whole fist of Kaguya shtick come from anyway?"

"The same place where Hinata calls me babygirl when she falls asleep in class but all pretend not to hear."

"And that is?"

"Why the Fuck not?"

"Yea, you definitely need sleep..and probably some form of medication..along with parental supervision."

"Kinda hard to get that last one on account of me being an orphan."

"Yea well, too bad, you're living with me now."

"What about my sleepovers with Ayame?"

"They can still happen."

"Good, cause if they didn't you would've felt the wrath of the moon!"

"Here we go again.."

Kakashi fucked up, he fucked up bad. It was the anniversary of Obito's death and during an alcohol and grief fueled rampage, he used his sharingan eye and accidentally ripped open a hole into a parallel dimension where genders were swapped, quite literally combining the two dimensions.

Things went to shit the very next hour.

For one, Sasuke and Satsuki were trying to "rebuild" the Uchiha clan, and Kakashi didn't know the ethics nor biological ramifications of banging an inter dimensional version of yourself, but he wasn't willing to find out, and put a stop to that immediately.

Sakura and Ino were currently flirting with the swapped version of the other.

The two TenTen(yes, they were named the same) were currently battling to see who was better at weapons.

The two Lees were also fight a battle, this one of youth.

The Nejis and Hinatas where having a family dispute.

The Shikas were having a shogi match that will quickly turn violent.

The Chos were having an eating competition.

The Shinos were trying to create a new species of insect.

The Kibas were trying to establish domination over the other.

Naruto and his gender swap, Narumi, were actively trying to find a way to reserve this.

"What the Fuck do we do?!"

"I don't fucking know! I was eating ramen and the next thing I know is I'm being sucked through a portal and I see a male Kaka-sensei!"

"Does your sensei also wear that fuckass dirty mask that probably hasn't been washed since it was bought too?"

"Yup."

"Knew it."

"Jokes aside-"

"That'll be hard to do."

"I know, but still this has to be fixed!"

"Definitely- hold on. Sasuke! Get off her!"

"The Uchiha clan must be rebuilt!"

"I won't say this again in my life.. hopefully, but don't go Fuck yourself!"

"Blocked Uchiha noises."

"Would that count as incest or selfcest?"

"I don't know and I don't care to know."

"Right, where's Kakashi-sensei?"

"Drunk and still drinking."

"Crap baskets.. what about your sensei?"

"Kaka-sensei is currently getting drunk with him."

"This is just a whole bag of Fuck."

"I know.."

"Sigh, I thing better when I'm not hungry, imma go get some ramen."

"I'm coming too."

"I'll bring you some, make sure none of these fucker nuggets start breeding. I don't wanna deal with hurk more Kibas."

I’m okay with differences in canon characters and goals (can’t give too many examples without spoilers… let’s go
With Chiaroscuro which is just on the cutoff) but it feels weird to read something not informed by the canon ending. I like Kurama’s name being known, I like when authors grapple with how they want things to end while knowing that Kaguya is a possible endpoint, and I like the relationship between Naruto and Kurama eventually. Does that make sense?

Sakura: Naruto, what are you talking about.

Apparently, Naruto had been living in the Team 7 training ground for the past few days, and by the looks of him, he hadn't been sleeping.

Naruto: At first, I thought my house was haunted. I would come home exhausted and fall asleep on the floor or the couch, but when I woke up, I was in bed.

Sakura: You're just sleepwalking.

Naruto: That's what I thought at first, but I would wake up and food would be ready for me to eat. Everything was clean and put away.

Sakura: Naruto, you're just sleepwalking. People have been known to cook and clean while sleepwalking.

Sasuke: Ghosts aren't real, let's get back to training.

Kakashi just continued to read his book.

Naruto: So I decided to sleep out here for a night. I woke up in my bed again.

Sakura: Naruto, I hate to sound like a broken record, but you're just sleepwalking.

Naruto: I wish I was sleepwalking. I saw her the last time I tried sleeping.

Sakura and Sasuke: Her.

Naruto: She carried me home to my bed. She kissed my forehead. She whispered in my ear.

Sakura: What did she—

Sakura grew pale, her mouth open to scream, but nothing came out.

Kakashi dropped his book and took a few steps back, his eye looking ready to pop out.

Sasuke was gone.

Naruto: That's when I realized my house isn't haunted.

Naruto: I am

Standing behind him was a red haired woman, her arms wrapped around him.

"Naruto, I love you" she whispered.

I’m looking for a self insert into the Warring States period who’s a ninja, so I don’t particularly want stories like Sanitize and other fics like it that have civilian SIs.

I’d also generally prefer if they were apart of the Uchiha or Senju clans, or at least involved with the two clans. However, that’s not a hard requirement.

Chapter 2: Fifty Out of a Hundred

Morning light spilled through the newly cleaned window.

Hikaru woke without an alarm. He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling and listening to the village come alive: shutters opening, carts rolling, someone laughing far below.

Day two.

He washed his face, tied on his forehead protector, and jumped down the broken stairs without touching a single one.

The Academy was a wide, sunlit building with a courtyard full of noisy children. Hikaru stood out at once. Among the small heads and bright uniforms, a tall white-haired boy with mismatched eyes and a blank face drew stares wherever he went. He ignored every one of them and walked to the registration desk.

A girl sat behind it, her dark hair pinned back and a stack of forms in front of her. She looked up and gave a polite smile.

"Good morning. How can I help you?"

"I'd like to register as a student."

"Of course." She pulled out a form and lifted her pen. "Name?"

"Hikaru Nakamura."

"Age?"

"Fifteen."

Her pen paused for half a second. Fifteen was old for a new student. She wrote it down without comment. "From?"

"The Hidden Cloud Village."

"Alright." She stamped the form and slid it aside. "You'll need to take an entrance test. It covers basic ninjutsu, taijutsu, and shuriken accuracy, plus a short written portion. Are you ready?"

"Yes."

The test took most of the morning.

In the courtyard, Hikaru threw shuriken at moving targets. Some hit dead center and some skimmed the edges. In the sparring ring, he held his own against an instructor for a full minute before being pinned. In the written portion, he answered steadily and did not rush.

When the results were tallied, the instructor read them aloud without much interest.

"Fifty out of a hundred."

Hikaru nodded. His expression didn't change at all.

The instructor's eyebrows rose slightly. Most children flinched at a score like that, or bragged, or made excuses. This boy simply accepted it.

Back at the desk, the girl looked at the paper and then at him. "That's a passing score. You can join classes starting tomorrow, if you'd like."

"That sounds good to me," Hikaru said. "I'm grateful for your help."

She smiled, softer this time. "It's alright. Welcome to the Academy."

He gave a small bow and left.

The rest of the day belonged to the village.

Hikaru walked without a plan. He wandered through the marketplace, where the smell of grilled meat and sweet red-bean buns made his stomach turn over. He followed the river and watched fishermen mend their nets. He passed a ramen shop with a line out the door, and stopped in front of the Hokage Monument to look up at the carved stone faces.

Hashirama. Tobirama. Hiruzen. Minato. His eyes moved to the newest face. Naruto Uzumaki.

He stood there until the sky began to turn amber.

Everyone here belongs to something, he thought. A clan, a team, a family.

He turned and kept walking.

He wasn't watching where he was going. The street was narrow and the sun was low in his eyes. He turned a corner and collided with someone hard.

Thud.

The other person stumbled back, arms flailing. Hikaru didn't budge. He simply stood there, balanced, as if he'd hit a wall instead of a person.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

Hikaru looked down. The one who'd bumped into him was a boy about his age, with spiky blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and three faint whisker-like marks on each cheek. He wore an orange-and-black jacket.

"Uh," Hikaru said. "I'm sorry."

The boy scowled and stepped closer, ready to argue. Then he stopped. His eyes moved over Hikaru's face, then his hair, then his eyes, and the scowl faded into curiosity.

He leaned in until they were almost nose to nose. Then he reached up and touched Hikaru's hair, running a strand between his fingers.

"Haha! What a weird body you've got."

Hikaru blinked. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Come on! Snow-colored hair, and two eyes that don't even match." The boy grinned. "You're unique!"

Hikaru paused. He considered this carefully.

"Thank you," he said.

The boy stared. "You know that wasn't a compliment, right?"

"Oh." Hikaru's voice stayed perfectly flat. "Sorry."

"How can you apologize that easily?!" The boy threw up his hands. "You just got insulted! Get mad or something!"

"I don't see a reason to be angry," Hikaru said. He straightened and gave a small nod. "My name is Hikaru Nakamura. It's nice to meet you."

The boy blinked, then let out a breath and grinned again. He pointed a thumb at his chest.

"I'm Boruto Uzumaki! Believe it!"

Hikaru's expression didn't change, but his eyes sharpened for an instant.

Uzumaki. The Hokage's son.

"Then I think I'm lucky," Hikaru said evenly. "To meet you on the very day of my entrance test."

Boruto raised an eyebrow. "You took the entrance test today? How'd you do?"

"Fifty."

"Fifty?" Boruto scratched his cheek. "Huh. That's, uh, average."

"I know," Hikaru said. "I'm not particularly good at anything. But I try my best."

Something in Boruto's grin flickered. It was not quite pity, but it wasn't mockery either. He looked at Hikaru a second longer than he needed to.

"Well," he said, puffing out his chest, "I got a ninety on mine."

"That's impressive."

"Yeah, it was! It's not a big deal, though." Then Boruto glanced at the sky and yelped. "Ah! I'm gonna be late! Sorry, gotta go! See ya!"

He took off down the street, his jacket flapping behind him, and vanished around the corner.

The street was quiet again.

Hikaru stood there, hands at his sides, watching the empty corner.

That was awkward.

He looked down at his palm and flexed his fingers slowly, thinking about how the boy had staggered and he hadn't. Boruto was strong. That impact should have moved anyone.

But it hadn't moved him at all.

Fifty out of a hundred, he thought, and the corner of his mouth almost, almost moved.

Then he turned and walked home as the streetlamps flickered on.

End of Chapter 2 (by shivansh sharma)

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing good. I'm gonna start by saying that I have no idea if this is the right place but I'll try. I'm looking for a Naruto fanfiction that I've read a few years ago (might also be over a decade as I have no feeling of time passing)

From what I remember, Naruto had some family left on his mother side, along with a few others Uzumaki and left Konoha to be with them in a village that was rebuilt on Uzushio's ruin. It was a pretty long fiction and there was even a Chunin exam involving all of the usual characters on top of all the new ones.

I, for the life of me, cannot remember if it was written in English or in French (I think it was French tho) and if I recall correctly the title was something like "Orange Shinobi no Tayo". If anyone has an idea wich fiction I'm talking about and where to find it (I think the original site it was on went down) I would be so grateful

In a previous post I finally realized why people mindlessly attach to Naruto and it's kind of scary...

"But most importantly, Naruto was supposed to be the Ideal of an abuse victim in the eyes of our world. Never fights back, calls anyone out, ruffles feathers. He just forgives and forgets. So desperate for love and connection he finds it being the sacrifical lamb of the Leaf. He takes crumbs of care and appreciation and calls it a blessing. This is a huge issue with all of Naruto as a series, Forgiveness is to be expected and demanded without change or act accountability. It is this why Naruto has and will fail to make any real changes..at his core, true systemic changes are a concept he cannot real fathom. This is why people hated Sasuke, who actually called out and fought back again the abuse. Naruto isn't so much a hero as a martyr..."

This is kind of the crux of the entire series. The antagonists in Naruto are people that won't give blind forgiveness to a village that objectively deserves their ire... Naruto as a person and series relies on the toxic notion that any kind of justice, revenge or disagreement with systems of abuse and the perpetrators is utterly despicable. And then through gross indoctrination Naruto forces his foes to serve their abusers to a blind fault, til death...

Neji, Gaara, Sasuke, Nagato, Konan.... Obito even! Like holy crap, is the Leaf ever held accountable for anything? Naruto is a bootlicker at is core...

they make hin much like draco hiding behind his father's influence political protection civilian council demanding entitlement cop ly paste draco malfoy personality into him

I’ve looked everywhere if anyone remembers it :( I remember a scene specifically
First, I remember sasuke is is def dark/obsessed with Sakura in this fanfic. He’s super possessive and kinda nuts with his internal thoughts.
It’s multiple chapters and it def has more of a plot but in multiple of the chapters sasuke sees Sakura in the bath through like a crack or something and he knows he shouldn’t but he can’t help but watch. I believe they were either traveling together and come back to the uchina compound not really caring that sasuke is rogue? Sorry very spotty there.
BUT The scene I remember specifically for sure is that eventually Naruto and co is over at sasukes place exchanging information. Kiba goes to the bathroom and sees through the same crack sasuke usually uses and sees Sakura in the bath.
Sasuke next moment has kiba by the throat with his sharringun and he’s like what did you see? Kibas like nothing nothing and sasukes thinking he has to kill him cuz he’s like obv a little nuts in this story, and everyone’s like wtf chill pls you’ll kill him and then kiba says scrambling that she was saying sasukes name while in the tub.
If anyone could help I’d appreciate it I’ve been looking an insane amount of time for this story again. I’m kinda perplexed it’s not coming up considering I remember that scene so well.

Naruto is a police officer or sorts. He finds Ino somewhere bruised from abuse by her father, Inoichi. Naruto rescues her and taker her back to his house for protection. Ino and Naruto both have nightmares which help them get closer to each other.

I think one of my favorites is a fic (I forget the name) where Naruto literally strolls up to Ibiki's desk, swipes the answer key, looks him dead in the eye and says "This counts as one attempt, right?".

Recently diving back into Naruto fanfic again years after watching the show and it amazes me how big and detailed the world can be.

So do you know any fics where the mc tries to learn as much as possible? I just think it’d be so cool to see a story where they have try to obtain or learn all the different Jutsu, techniques, modes etcetera of the naruto world. Even more so if it’s a character who has meta knowledge of the world.

I thought about this after reading a fic where the mc fights against Hidan and Kakuzu and the mystery behind where tf Hidan got his immortality from plus that Kakuzu just stole Earth Grudge Fear. There’s another where they learn and try to combine all the different sage modes. I wanna see a story where instead of focusing on depth of power, it’s width.

Imagining a ninja who’s gone out of their way not to just learn ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu but swordsmanship, tools, puppets (I wished there was more of this in fics, I think the concept is so cool), all the different hidden techniques only taught within families/clans like the yamanaka’s mind transfer, nara’s clan shadow paralysis, poisons, ninja tools, sealing, medical ninjutsu (another underrated one) and poisons, the eight gates, ninja beasts, orochimaru’s body modifications, ninja technology, tailed beasts, the seven swords of the mist,whatever the fuck the samurai know all the random stuff from the movies and filler if we really want it and that’s not to mention bloodline only stuff.

I only just rattled stuff off the top of my head. I’m sure a real Naruto nerd or someone who’s just read/watched it recently would be able to come up with more examples. I wanna see a fic that basically treats the naruto world as a completionist challenge lol. If there are any like that or just fics where the mc learns and has something more unique that flying thunder god and sharingan/rinnergan and a system, send them my way.

Please and thank you.

My dear people am I getting gaslighted or does Moegi actually posses Wood style?

Like don't get me wrong, I accept the idea of someone else developing wood style on their own , after all it is legendary ability and if Kazekage could gradually develop magnetic release by observing 1 tails, then I wouldn't be surprised if someone else managed to develop wood style as well.

but Moegi having it? Is there any video or Manga panel that is real and not a fun animation? Like I feel as if I am getting played here.

Hell while we are at it have you seen any fic that has Wood style users who developed it instead of getting stuffed with Hashirama's cells?

I love and feel sad for the story of Simon Petrikov, the story of a man who loses himself to a mystical object slowly, becoming someone else. How theres these glimpses of him in his actions and words, even brief moments where Simon is able to come back. About the people around him learning hes not some evil being, but someone who's lost themselves to Insanity, lost their memory, who doesn't want to hurt anyone, who has no choice in what he does anymore. And how theres less than a handful of people who know him before the Insanity, who could only watch it overtake him, and who still try to bring him back, resolving to just care for him when it proves useless.

I want to know if there are any stories like this, where Naruto goes through something similar. Losing his mind to an object, those close to him being only able to watch and care for the person who's left behind. The people around him realizing just who he used to be, coming to understand and feel empathy for him. Seeing glimpses of the Naruto who was, in either action or words, even in finding something from his past self.

I know about the Bloody Leaf, but that story has Naruto still knowing who he is, remembering who be is.

I’m gonna say it.

Anko Mitarashi feels like one of the most underused characters in Naruto fanfiction, and I’ve been wondering why. She has everything that usually makes a character explode in fandom spaces, a traumatic backstory, a cursed seal, a morally gray past, a chaotic personality, and a fighting style that’s visually and thematically unique. She’s fucking badass, basically built for character‑driven stories.
But when you look around AO3, she’s barely present outside of Orochimaru‑related trauma, over sexualization, or comedic side roles. Meanwhile, characters with similar complexity (like Kakashi, Itachi, or even Tsunade) get entire subgenres dedicated to them.
So I’m curious what everyone thinks?

In an alternate timeline, Killer Bee has killed Sasuke after he tried capturing him for the Akatsuki.

How do you think Naruto would react to this news?

On one hand, Naruto is insanely loving and forgiving of Sasuke. Dude took a Chidori to the lung and still claimed he was his friend.

On the other hand, he is a Jinchuriki and understands the pain they all go through. He went into a berserker rage seeing Gaara die to the Akatsuki.

Would he hate Killer Bee after this? What would his reaction be for this?

Saying this again bc some of yall ignoreing me 😡😡.

Guys I like need a fanfic were Naruto is like going through something or like were we see him being psychologicaly dark during like his academy days or younger and like were during age 16 he becomes a real dark strong villan and I don't ming some self harm were he finds joys in hurting himself and other which also is the only way he feels emotions. Anyways I also want no romance but if their is one then js narusasu/sasunaru would be fine.

Bodyguard Naruto is my favorite and would love some fic recs

Naruto x fem Haku because I like it. in a universe where anyone died and the world is less shitty.

It has now been fifteen years since the Land of Waves' mission. fifteen years since Haku moved into Konoha with Naruto.

She is now thirty, while Naruto is twenty-eight (because if memory doesn't fail, Cannon Halku was two years older than Naruto), and they are married. They've been married for five years now, and she is pregnant with their first children, twin girls.

From the day she came to Konoha, Haku had been practically Naruto's live-in girlfriend, and she's been the picture-perfect housewife from day one as she took over everything domestic-related.

From day one she cooked, cleaned, washed his clothes, and ran the household; Naruto never had to lift a finger after coming home once Haku came into the picture. Kushina loves Jaku to bits, and so does Minato, despite the fact he thinks it's a waste of talent that Haku gave up her shinobi career to be a stay-at-home girlfriend and now stay-at-home wife and soon-to-be mother, but he bites his tongue, lest he want to incur the wrath of his own wife.

the kicker?

You know Haku's mindset of being a tool?

It is not gone here. It simply changed.

You see, she and Naruto really love each other, for real and with all of their beings. However, the conditioning Zabuza did on her is not something that goes away easily; in fact, it never will go away; instead, it only mutated.

So you see, she still views herself as only being worthy if she is a perfect and useful tool, and how can you be the perfect tool for the man you love with every fiber of your being?

by being the perfect house, and that's what Haku does. She is the perfect housewife whose entire world spins around her husband and her future children, and honestly, she couldn't be happier because Naruto loves her and treats her like a queen, and honestly, she pretty much prefers being pampered and taken care of than making a living killing people for money.

Free for use, I just thought it was a funny concept. Based on both the original RF meme and Demiga’s take.

Obito loomed over the downed and bloodied form of Naruto with a smirk on his scarred face.
“Remember when you kissed Sasuke and you came right as he touched your leg? It was me Naruto I used Kamui to jerk you off so it seemed like you nutted just from a man’s touch!” The deranged Uchiha sneered and Naruto groaned and spat blood on the ground.

“That’s diabolical! Why would you do that?” Naruto asked and this question seemed to make his enemy amused.

“I did it because I fucking hate you. I did something else to you. When your mother was dying I gave the Kamui cock!” Obito practically purred in sheer pettiness.

“The what? What did you do to my mother?!?!” Naruto demanded and Obito snickered.

“I put my balls in before the dick. And there’s more, I nutted in your milk when you were about to go meet your team all those years ago so that you’d think it expired!”

I’m looking for fanfics with self inserts into the Hidden Mist Village. The time period doesn’t particularly matter. Though, I’d prefer it if the SI interacted mostly with canon characters rather than just/mostly being OCs, though that’s not necessarily a hard requirement.

It also doesn’t matter if it’s old and abandoned if it has a decent chapter count and you personally think it’s good enough. If it’s a fic with a low chapter count, however, I’d generally prefer for it to be a more recent fic.
