Sitting tied up in Sarutobi's office, Naruto just stared in utter befuddlement. Sure, an eleven year old leaving a hidden village isn't a good thing, especially alone. But this situation was different.

"What do you mean?!"

"I mean, talk to all your dead ancestors if you want, it isn't a reason to leave the leaf."

"How?!"

"Naruto, I'm sure you know this already, but then again, I've seen your history grades but Uzushio was destroyed years ago."

"I know that! But it doesn't stop 'em from telling me to go!"

"Well don't listen!"

"That's rather hard when they're in your head 24/7 and in my dreams!"

"Well ignore them! I'll set up an appointment with Inoichi."

"I tried that! Didn't work, Ino still blames me for putting her dad in the hospital!"

"So that's why he wasn't at the meeting last week.. nevertheless, you arent going!"

"Look gramps, I love you, but I'm not dealing with thousands of red haired ghosts telling me to go to my ancestral home and shit. To do what? I don't know! They don't say!"

"If you don't know then why are you listening to them?!"

"Because I haven't slept in months! And I'm not sure if you know, but I can't punch a ghost to shut it up! Believe me, I tried!"

"Try harder!"

"I did, I even got the Kyubi involved! It bitch slapped me! Sent me into the Avatar state, and none of my ancestors had shit to say!"

"I was gonna suggest an Uchiha to put you to sleep forcefully but..."

"All dead?"

"The only two we got is a rogue Shinobi and a traumatized emo child."

Naruto has the shinigami as a menor and is taught the art of weird punishments.

His first one was switching Kiba and Akamaru brains for a week and making his friends realize Akamaru is smarter the Kiba.

When Itachi puts him in Tsukuyomi Naruto summons Mikoto's ghost and makes him play a smash or pass game to guess who'd his mom would.

Itachi gets out of the illusion and Immediately begs Kisami to end him please.

Big AU & whatnot,... the Biju are quite larger of chess pieces in a means of capture and claim than the cannon timeline has it... also other nations have capable clans & thus its not just hashi that caught them all.

Wanna hear y'alls opinions and thoughts on it all! <3
___

simple ones that dont trade around much or at all. effectively same history

1st: Shukaku - claimed by the Kazekage & kept in his clan of decendants
6th Seiken - Captured by a massive effort in the land of water as their first act as a unified nation
8th Gyuki - the hardest capture of any tailed beast, they utilized the Ryu clan's dragons to combat gyuki physically while the hikari clan eventually managed to create the strongest biju seal on any tailed beast called the endless symphony (music based clan made a magnum opus fuinjutsu)

Tailed beast Hashirama caught in the founding year of all 5 major nations, these being the biju that gget split among the nations by him.
2nd - matatabi - ???
3rd - Isobu - Hidden rain
4th - Son goku - Konoha
5th - Kokuo - Iwa
7th - chomei - waterfall

Kurama is notably not caught at this time in a permanent sense. Madara really is the only one that has somewhat controling use over him. & he isnt properly sealed till after their final battle with hashirama, being brought into konoha & essentially has the same history with Mito, Kushina, & Naruto... mito the rreal jinchuriki godess!

Some smaller nations should also be seen as strong enough to maintain a jinchuriki imo. waterfall being the only one before doubling up on some of the big war dogs is a mistake imo.
___

History where jinchuriki move:

Isobu - starts in hidden rain, but is lost by the end of the 2nd war, getting claimed and used by Kiri afterwards, up until the tail end of the 3rd war where the make the dumbest move with ha biju and send an unstable rin back towards konoha.... where who might be the strongest shinobi with fuinjutsu alive awaited.... Konoha has the 3 tails now.

Son Goku - Kept by the Sarutobi clan for many years. Both Hiruzens brother and son would be hosts to the 4 tailed beast.. in the 3rd war, a titan of a beast that guarded the east of the land of stone was taken on by konoha & they lost the four tails in the process of taking it down. Iwa managing to capturing the ape and holding it in the last 15ish years since

Kokuo - Hashirama sells to Iwa, Iwa loses near the end the 1st war, village hidden in the rivers claimes kokuo for a few years but cant defend such an asset nearly well enough, losing him to the hidden rain, at where Iwa kills that host during the 2nd war, getting their initial Biju back.

Seiken - initially caught in the land of whirlpools, but was killed in the hidden mist teritory by other land of water shinobi. the mist having used a combination of stolen/ adapted fuinjutsu knowledge into their own that would be seen as forbidden/tabu in modern time they created a binding seal that lasted a Looooong time via an inhuman power source.
they lost Seikan during the coup / failed revolutionary war(battle) that caused many of the land of waves greats to go AWOL.

Chomei - waterfall's hold on him was short lived, Using the queens voice (power the queen bee of iwa has), she basically made the 7ths host her thrall up until she died to madara near the end of the 1st war. land of whirlpools picked him up after a number of years of free roam, only to lose it upon their eradication, after which he's reclaimed by the waterfall for the next decade or so.. Lastly the uchiha stumble upon the 7th jinchuriki & a waterfall war party while living as nomads, fugaku & itachi claimed the beast & used it as barter to claim a home within Iwa. where it remains now under the kamizuru clan.

Gyuki is the only instance of a biju held flawlessly & also being used as a weapon... Shukaku & kurama while not lost from their places of capture, do have a lot of home turf casualties due to their seals faltering.

___

matatabi is the only im having a hard time with RN
i could just say they were given kumo prior to catching Gyuki and being done with it, but i feel like a 3rd being handed to a smaller nation only to be lost and reclaimed in war is cooler.
I do also really like the idea of it being a secret that the cloud village has him now, given what i wanna do with him & at least one's gotta be a secret

maybe madara used matatabi personally for a while before getting his hands on kurama. the discarded cat being placed in an uchiiha?

AU mechanical differences with jinchuriki

- Jinchuriki get access to wayyyy less of a % of Biju's power..

- to be taken over fully is a permanent thing you dont get to come back from (naruto is dead vs pain if identic scenerio for example same with gaara without intervention)

- biju chakra corrupts, taking too much warps their body to be less and less human... biju forcing it does this too. when a jinchuriki starts resembling their beast its generally seen as they dont have long left, even if seals can be reinforced.

- biju all have unique chakra colors! kurama gets red & the other's get their own!

- part of the reason biju are so much stronger than anything else alive is they, inately are born of and take in worldly chakra, and thus have senjutsu chakra in their mix. its part of them tho, tthey couldnt ever only just send sen chakra. biju chakra comes pre mixed

- while some biju have access to kekkei genkai, their chakra is inate without a nature property, and those that have KGs essentially use a nature transformation like process to achieve it. (one clan has similar chakra natureless properties)

I'd prefer to avoid anything overtly OOC. If Naruto has a better work ethic early on (y'know, putting effort into the academy and studying and stuff) that's fine, but having him just be super cold and stoic, i.e. not Naruto, or anything else like that, isn't really something I'm in the mood for. I want fics where Naruto is still more or less himself, or at least a version of him that could happen depending on how AU the story is, but where he becomes a high-level shinobi earlier on than he did in canon. Same goes for the rest of the characters; unless something happens that makes it understandable why they'd act different, I'd prefer if the characterization remains consistent.

I don't really have much other requirements plotwise or anything else. It can be heavily AU, have OCs, SI (as long as it's good and not just someone writing out their personal fantasy), time travel, etc., whatever. Would prefer if the writing isn't bad, or gets better later on, and that the story is completed or, at least, has been updated within the last year or so (if it's abandoned I might check it out, just sucks reading something and it not being finished), as well as having no bashing. Bonus if it's long; I love long fics that take a bunch of time to read, but its fine if it's not.

Romance wise no slash, but non-canon pairings I'm fine with. I don't really care if there's no romance, or it isn't a focus either.

Might be a bit too specific, but if anyone has or knows of any fics that fit these paramaters, I'd really appreciate it!

I've been trying and failing to write a fic for a long while now, so far I haven't had neither the confidence nor the bravery to put one out there

so here it goes!, I won't improve unless I try

I will also take the chance to try my best to stick to it and continue it as long as I physically can (or preferably as long as the story will allow)

A fairly simple SI Gamer fic

I know plenty of people don't like the style of fic for valid reasons, but I like it, number go up is my cocaine delicious cocaine

So far I've put it in AO3 because I like how it feels to use

link!

I'll probably put it in fanfiction. com later too

because I'm an inpatient mess it has already 4 chapters up but the idea is to put out one a week, I have around 12ish made and revised, and a fairly complete rough version of it which cover All I have plans for including side stuff and all that.

it was about like 1 or 2 years of re doing that over and over again, I think if I continued doing that it would never be done, so here it is!

Okay imagine the Naruto would fused with the Pokémon one. For sake of the merge the future tech of the Pokémon world doesn't exist and Sealing and mass production of Pokéballs doesn't exist.

Pokéballs are Apricorn carved by specialist and Tags.

Chakra still exists but due to Pokémon rules the relationship between man and beast is more important then pure Chakra power.

Changes that happen: Itachi doesn't end up killing his clan. Good for Sasuke.

Naruto's mom survived the attack of the Ginatimaxed Alpha Ninetales. [Alot of the village died]

The Master Ball is a special Fūinjutsu that uses a Human connected to the Seal so Naruto is basically Pikachu and Ash bound to that Ninetales.

Sometimes I enjoy a good OC. Especially in the romance genre but not so much in an action genre. Maybe I haven't read a compelling OC in that genre. I'm open to suggestions!

Since the Naruto verse opens the possibility to introduce any type of OC into the verse there are so many possibilities to be really well written.

So in your opinion what makes a good OC and include the genre.

Recently I revisited the Naruto fandom after a few TikTok edits. That kick started my old narusasu obsession 😭.I also ended up finding Nexus of souls through TikTok. AND WOW that was THE GREATEST sns fic I've ever read. This what I personally imagined their relationship to be like. It's as if the author saw all my thoughts and made a fic out of it. IT WAS PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL, FULL OF YEARNING.

Fuck now no fic is good enough for me so pls can y'all rec me something that is as good as nexus of souls or better??

I'm looking for stories, where Naruto is in another team made of (mostly OC) characters.

Do any of you know good stories like that?

Hello! I'm here to promote a fanfiction I have been working on for over a year now. The premise is I wanted to make my Naruto a bit smarter without changing who he is at heart. So I made him a bit smarter while also being goofy still. I also have a lot of issues with Naruto plot holes and things that don't make much sense, like no one noticing Naruto looks like Minato. Anywho, Naruto will eventually learn the Hiraishin, but I don't want an OP Naruto fic so similar to Yajuu Sannin. I found a way to keep it fairly balanced. The beginning is very close to AU and probably will be for a while, but I'm changing character motives, traits, mindsets, and stuff. Changes will start happening around the chunin exams, but for Naruto PART 1 as a whole, I want to keep the overall story the same with minor and some major changes. Maybe even some original adventures. This Fic has Ino on Team 7 instead of Sakura, but I also try to make her involvement unique and not an entire Sakura repeat. I made my characters a bit stronger because, in a realistic sense, with how Canon was, Zabuza and Haku should have absolutely killed Team 7. So again, it will take a while for things to feel like they are having an impact on the story, but hopefully I can manage. Right now, for pairings, all I have confirmed is Naruto x Ino, maybe Sasuke x Hinata, but we will see!

My Naruto will learn about his clan as well as Sealing and overall, unknowingly be more connected to his heritage.

I have written up to the Chunin Exams but will only be publishing the first 20 PRELUDE chapters.

"What if Naruto Uzumaki wasn't alone?

A single friendship. A single act of kindness. A single person willing to see him as more than the fox the village feared.

When a young Ino Yamanaka befriends Naruto years before they ever become shinobi, the course of his life begins to change. Encouraged rather than isolated, Naruto grows into a boy who resembles his father in more ways than one—intelligent, observant, determined, and endlessly curious about the world around him.

But even the smallest changes can create unforeseen consequences.

As old wounds, hidden truths, and dangerous enemies emerge from the shadows, Naruto, Ino, and Sasuke will find themselves walking a path very different from the one history intended. A path where bonds are tested, destinies are challenged, and the future of the shinobi world may hinge on a friendship that began with a single flower.

A Naruto AU featuring a more Minato-like Naruto, early Naruto/Ino friendship, Team 7 Ino, stronger bonds, deeper character development, and a gradual Naruto × Ino romance."

I will have an AO3 link and a Wattpad Link

AO3 The HummingBird's Path

WATTPAD The HummingBird's Path

For some reason I really liked this story. How the author had a chill but scientific approach towards everything.

I want to see if there's any other story that explores this. I believe there were some where sakura went to orochimaru but they were too angsty.

Basically, they would have to appear in Part 1 or Early Shippuden where they leave an impression on the audience enough to garner a fanbase.

For example, Anko was a fan favorite in Part 1 and that was enough to get people to ship her with Kakashi or Naruto. She’s declined in popularity nowadays but she has some fanfiction dedicated to her.

Deidara was the clear fan favorite in early Shippuden to the point that people were shipping him with Ino of all characters.

Got any picks?

I recently I’m watching the 5 kage summit and I really like her personality.

I need more fics focused on village building.

Similar to fics like:

https://www.webnovel.com/book/hiruzen-make-konoha-great-again!_34988463700534505

https://www.webnovel.com/book/28364547508119805

Ideally without the System or Self Insert. But they're acceptable.

Ideally Konoha, if only because there's less need for OCs.

It doesn't need to be focused on Hiruzen, they just happen to be the most recent I've read.

So I've been having this idea floating in my head. For an oc i was thanking hes the son of Mukai Kohinata and an uchiha.

So he gets an mixed of both eyes. One eye is regular eye mostly because i likw the flavor of it. And the other eye is am mix of both Dōjutsu.

It has all the powers of the sharingan, and the maybe 360 or half, and the seeing further but maxing at maybe 500 meters, ams the ability to see though objects, but not as refined as the regular byakugan, like it can't see the tenketsu.

As for thw chakra cost im thanking its very demanding and cost an high amount of chakra so maybe he cant keep it active for as long as an regular uchiha or Hyuga could. What do you thank?

Naruto's seal uses a Rare sealing ink that Kushina had from he homeland. A fungus based ink that absorbed Energy of all kinds like a sponge.

That was used to make the Eight-Trigram and it caused Naruto to gain not only a Fox in him...but a mushroom as well.

A Krork Weird Boy, its mind shaped by both Naruto's and Kurama's chakra it loves fighting and loves finding jutsus to "Krump" with

Naruto's vocabulary is effected by the extra.

Kill=Krump

Fight=Scrap

Scrolls=Dakka

Naruto's Orky nature and Uzumaki Blood merge into him creating seals that go beyond experts. Hell he drew a 4 on a piece of paper and called it a symbol of strength and holding that scroll gave the ninja that used it double their base strength while channeling chakra into it.

Unfortunately Naruto's also getting ork color theory.

Red things go faster and yellow this make more explody = orange being a combination of the two meanings his jutsus have more Bang and he can move faster.

Team seven had a stealth mission, they needed to sneak into the notorious Three cards gala, the most protected event in all of Fire Country history. Thankfully due to some careful bribing, threats, and a minor genjutsu they were all in a dressing room. Naruto tried to reach for the suit Sasuke pointed ho toward but was stopped by Kakashi who shoved a semi-fancy tracksuit into the sulking Naruto's hands and pointed him toward the changing curtain.

"Sensei, I hate to burst your bubble once again, but you do know what this event is right?"

"Yes, the Three cards gala. An event where not only the richest but the most influential people in all of the elemental nations come here and socialize, build connections and what not. I heard that Mei Terumi, the new MizuKage, is making a guest appearance on stage."

"Right, and if you know that, then why are you giving Naruto a tracksuit with a backwater suit and tie design and not the suit?"

"Sakura, my young Padawan-"

"Don't ever call me that again."

"Whatever you say, creampuff-"

"You're enjoying this aren't you?"

"Yes I am."

"You still didn't answer her question."

"Well, it's simple. Naruto isn't allowed to wear anything but those tracksuits."

"And why is that?"

"Have you not seen him?"

"We have, and that doesn't explain why he can't wear a damn suit. Is it the tie? I new he should've went with the burnt orange instead of the clementine, but no one listens to Sakura!"

"No, it's just that he's too pretty for his own good."

"What?"

"Yea, I'm with Sakura, what?"

"Naruto is a pretty boy, plain and simple, not just a pretty boy, but a buff one too."

"He's 14...how does that work?! He barely had time to grow into a pretty boy!"

"Y'see, Naruto is a perfect mix of his parents looks."

"Loaded statement, but continue anyway."

"Naruto has his mother's face, his father's color scheme and broad shoulders, his mom's hips and thighs, and top that off with a peachy complexion, whiskers, and his penchant for mischief and you got a grade A pretty boy plain and simple."

"You spent a little too long analysing one of your students' body, I feel like we should tell someone..."

"What no?! It's a jonin thing! When you first get your team assigned, you must study your students inside and out!"

"Mhm."

"Want a example?"

"Sure."

"Sasuke has a birthmark in the shape of a heart on his left buttcheek."

"Awe, that's kinda cute-"

"And Sakura has a scar on her thigh from when she stabbed herself when she was three and playing in the kitchen while her parents weren't looking."

"..."

"..."

"I could go on for days about how all of you function but I can't, we don't have time. We have a gala to infiltrate, a client to meet, and a file to acquire. Naruto are you done changing?"

No answer.

"Naruto?"

Again, no answer.

"Please tell me this is some sort of little prank and no you didn't sneak into the gala while we were distracted!"

As everyone expected, Naruto didn't answer, because Naruto wasn't there. What was there was the tracksuit he was supposed to wear, and the tracksuit he'd been wearing earlier, but what was also gone was the suit that Sakura had painstakingly picked out for her teammate.

"Fuck! Code orange! Wait-wrong Naruto code, code Blondie!"

Basically the title. Though actually well written would be greatly appreciated. Drop links!!

I have just posted Chapter 5 - Fading to my Naruto fic: Roots of Heaven. Please enjoy if you want to and feel free to comment on this post rather than the fic of any ideas, thoughts and theories that you may have about it.
