''[[ About a Daddy and a Nanny]]'' by [[ syaoran no hime]]
* Recommended by: Dellanotte
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairings'': Neji/Tenten, Naruto/Hinata
* ''Synopsis'': "Due to a deathbed promise, inexperienced Neji ends up with an instant son. Enter Tenten, the longlost teammate who poses as a birdbrain nanny for her jounin mission, beginning a tale of love, betrayal, and stinky diapers."
* ''Comments'': How this thing manages to not be a total CrackFic is beyond me, and yet... Okay, the notion of the ninja knowing of [[SpongebobSquarepants Spongebob]] is patently absurd, but oh well. There actually is a serious plot, too, but it's sometimes easy to forget when in close proximity to [[MindScrew Tenten's cover story]]. [[TheComicallySerious Poor Neji]]...

''[[ Beautiful Day]]'' by [[ Narf-for-the-Garthoc]]
* Recommended by Kurtulmak
* ''Synopsis'': Naruto is Hokage, as he has been for the past decade, and enjoys the beautiful day as he checks in with all his old age mates. After all, he knows it's his last day.
* ''Comments'': This oneshot presents an epilogue that's almost too happy and perfect... which only makes Naruto's never ending happy facade all the more heartbreaking. [[{{Tearjerker}} You will cry]].

''[[ The Butterfly Effect]]'' by ''The Scarlett Ribbon''
* Recommended by [=AlleywayKat=]
* ''Comments'': This is what happens after the War with Madara. Sasuke is back with the village, sorta, and Sakura is [[spoiler: his attourny.]] It mainly focuses on Team 7's relationship after the war, the problems from the begining of their sorta friendship and the after effects of Sakura [[spoiler: getting mindraped by Madara.]] It's little bit slow paced but it's very well written and definitely worth a read.

''[[ Fool Me Once Shame On Me]]'' by artemisfireflame
* Recommended by [=CompleteNerd=]
* ''Pairings'': [=NaruSaku=]
* ''Synopsis'': 21-year-old Sakura finds difficulty in recovering from Naruto's death. And as a conspiracy unfolds, everything she believes in becomes challenged by the people she holds dear. Can a kunoichi ever find happiness and peace?
* ''Comments'': Has excellent grammar, the juxtaposition of past and present makes it a bit hard to follow but the plot is excellent and worth a read

''[[ In The Blood]]'' by ''justplainrii''
* Recommended by indigohalf, [=ShirouHokuto=] @/{{Electroninja}}, @/{{valbinooo}}, Kesali
* ''Synopsis:'' 27 years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke has gotten married, started a family, and is about as good at it as you'd expect, when he meets a young boy who strikingly resembles a long-dead Itachi. Later, a red-haired kid appears at the gates of the village, demanding to be taught ninjutsu. Naruto hits it off with the kid alarmingly quickly [[spoiler: when it turns out they're related - suggesting that the Itachi look-alike may not be a coincidence, either]]. The fic is a slowly unfurling mystery firmly grounded in the setting of Konoha and full of familiar faces-- canon characters and their children who all have problems of their own.
* ''Comments:'' This fic has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and all of them are believable. The dynamics within Sasuke's family are shockingly realistic, and the [=OCs=] are all unique and written with loving care. Sasuke's youngest son, Inou, has stolen my heart already and I'm pretty sure he's not even particularly relevant to the plot. The fic is mystery with lots of seemingly unrelated pieces, and it's not done being written yet, but there's definitely something going on with people who look like people who are supposed to be dead.
* [[Fanfic/InTheBlood Now has its own tropes page!!]]

''[[ In the Breaking]]'' by nyet khan
* Recommended by Sebazu, Frodo Lives, Kraesil
* ''Synopsis'': Akatsuki lies broken and Naruto hates the world. Where does he go from here? Follows Naruto after Akatsuki extracts Kyuubi from him.[[note]] The hows and whys of his subsequent resurrection are not explained in any detail, but it's made quite clear as of now he's not quite human and not quite jinchuuriki either.[[/note]] A mostly insane Naruto remembers Haku and ends up single-handedly running an orphanage for bloodline children in Mizu- but in a country prone to civil wars, things aren't quite that simple. Especially when said orphanage is home to several promising shinobi with no allegiance to any of the preexisting fractions.
* ''Comments'': Just the way it portrays naruto's gradually recovering sanity makes it worth.
** Brilliant, brilliant fic. Interesting style, and excellent writing. Dead, but well worth a read.

''[[ Medicinal Lullaby]]'' by [[ Shivakashi]]
* Recommended by Kurtulmak, @/ArcaneAzmadi, mutecebu
* Now has [[FanFic/MedicinalLullaby its own tropes page.]]
* ''Pairings'': [[spoiler:Naruto x Sakura]].
* ''Synopsis'': Upon returning home from his failed mission to retrieve Sasuke and finding about Jiraiya's death, Naruto gains new responsibilities and a new set of priorities when a girl shows up on his doorstep pregnant.
* ''Comments'': This fic covers Naruto's struggle to raise his daughter and to keep her and Konoha safe from Akatsuki over 8+ years. Naruto matures and grows into his power as a father, as a jinchuriki, as a teacher, and as Konoha's greatest defender. The fic has an appropriately epic feel as it covers more of Naruto's life than the original manga, and the author tells the story of its characters' growth well.

''[[ Naruto: Hitoshirezu Years]]'' by ''Peace Writer v.2.5''
* Recommended by Dorian
* ''Synopsis'': Set during the timeskip, Hanabi Hyuga starts her journey on her path to becoming a ninja. With her teammates Kaji and Wasumaru, and Shintaro, her jonin teacher, they strive to become the best, navigating the twists and turns along the way.
* ''Comments'': Starts from the academy, and then quickly picks up after that. The fic has been praised for its fight scenes and for the original characters.

''[[ New Blood]]'' by [=JFalcon=]
* Recommended by @/{{Rogue 7}}, Crazywannabee, @/{{Hush}}, beeruckzII
* ''Pairings'': Shikamaru/Temari
* ''Synopsis'': A ''{{Naruto}}'' futurefic that is best summed up with the word "epic". It's got LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters -- many of the main characters of the current ''{{Naruto}}'' continuity now all have three-man genin teams of their own, and there are characters from the other hidden villages.
* ''Comments'': What's striking about it is both the quality of the characters -- all of them are believable and deep -- and the sheer length of the thing -- it's over 300,000 words. The action is quality, and the characterization of [=non-OCs=] is spot-on. Though it's difficult to follow the sporadic updates, and next to impossible to actually keep track of all the various plotlines, it's highly recommended. Best in [[ArchiveBinge large doses.]]

''[[ Nothing But Trouble]]'' by [[ Mister Cynical]]
* Recommended by Kagescorpionakki, Frodo Lives, mutecebu
* ''Pairings'': Minor Naruto x Sakura, mostly Naruto x Anko
* ''Synopsis'': Decades after the end of the series, Naruto is now the leader of the Village Hidden in the Spring, - a place full of alcoholics and missing ninja - illegally, of course. Sakura comes to tell him that Tsunade is recalling him for the Chunin Exams. HilarityEnsues.
* ''Comments'': A comedic story, with darker undertones. It has quite a few [=OCs=], namely Sakura's genin team and everybody in the Spring village except Naruto and Koyuki Kazahana. Naruto is also something of a sadistic JerkAssStu, but it's usually played for laughs.

''[[ Of Broken Hallelujahs and Healing Hearts]]'' by [[ Paige O.o]]
* Recommended by Kurtulmak
* ''Pairings'': Sasuke x Sakura (minor Naruto x Hinata as well)
* ''Synopsis'': Sasuke, now leader of Sound four years after killing Orochimaru and Itachi, comes to Konoha to settle peace. His one ironclad demand for the treaty? Haruno Sakura. A fic about Sakura's year in Sound.
* ''Comments'': A well-written romance fic for a relationship that gets off to a very rocky start for the two. The story takes place almost entirely from Sakura's point of view for the first half and very well portrays how frustrating it is to try to read past Sasuke's stoic facade of apathy. Completed, with epilogue.

''[[ Path to Greatness: The Story of Team Four]]'' by [[ Lunarmaster54]]
* Recommended by: Gambit90
* ''Status'': In progress
* ''Pairings'': None so far
* ''Synopsis'': Its been Thirty years since the end of the fourth great ninja war. This is the story of a new generation as they become legends, the challenges they face, and the next great threat to the shinobi world.
* ''Comments'': Shaping up to be a pretty solid continuation fic. Updates are fast and the [=OCs=] aren't just mirrors of the original [=NaruSasuSaku=]. I think its worth a read.

''[[ Piece of the Puzzle]]'' by ''Blue Baby Blanket''
* Recommended by [=KillingCurseEyes=]
* ''Pairings:'' Sasuke/Sakura, Naruto/Momo(oc)
* ''Synopsis:'' Sakura married Sasuke. After their wedding Naruto gets word of Akatsuki preparing for war and leaves to take them on all by himself. He wins, but ends up in a coma for years. Upon awakening, he meets Sakura and Sasuke's eldest daughter, Uchiha Momo, who decides that Naruto, the man her parents respect most, is the man for her. WIP
* ''Comments:'' The story starts with Naruto telling his children about how him and their mother got together. At first Momo is only 12, but it's mostly one-sided romance until she gets older. Has some fan art.

''[[ Salutary Neglect]]'' by Thundereaper
* Recommended by @/RedViking
* ''Pairings'': Naruto/Tayuya
* ''Synopsis'': Determined not to have anyone sacrifice themselves for his sake ever again, Naruto leaves Konoha after the incident with Hidan and Kakuzu, and makes a living off collecting the bounties of other missing-nins. Along the way, he just might discover a new nindo to follow along with new precious people to protect, and that this new purpose was his true calling all along.
* ''Comments'': An absolutely amazing fic that really sucks you in and is back from the dead. The author does a good job with Naruto and Tayuya's relationship and you can see that the two care deeply for each other, even though they haven't made anything official and Naruto's somewhat of a ladies' man. I really like the way Tayuya's portrayed since one gets the sense that this is what her canon self could have been like had she found people important to her. The story also contains lots of swearing (not all of it from Tayuya).

''[[ Training for the Job]]'' by Desaix
* Recommended by @/MuchGoodLittleTime
* ''Pairings'': Naruto/Sakura
* ''Synopsis'': To help Naruto prepare for his dream of being a future Hokage, Tsunade assigns him to a brand new ninja village that the Hidden Leaf is founding near the border of Wave Country, where he will have a major leadership role in getting the new village up and running. But time isn't just going to stand still while Blossom gets built. Sasuke is still loose in the world, more unstable and dangerous than ever, and back home in the Hidden Leaf Village clan disputes are threating to spill over into civil war....
* ''Comments'': 400k words; after a lengthy hiatus, new chapters are being posted again as of January, 2014.

''[[ Trial by Leaves]]'' by Arc The Jedi
* Recommended by @/ShayCaron
* ''Pairings'':
* ''Synopsis'': Begins several years after the series. Naruto's comrades aren't sure he's ready to become the next Hokage yet, so each one arranges a test concerning one quality they feel is important for him to have.
* ''Comments'': Excellent fights ''and'' heartwarming moments.

''[[ White Rain]]'' by ''Zapenstap''
* Recommended by @/{{Nitramy}}
* ''Pairings'': Sasuke / Sakura
* ''Synopsis'': A mysterious woman arrives in Konoha seeking asylum for herself...and Itachi's children. As Hokage, Naruto wants to trust her. Sasuke struggles with suspicion. Sakura struggles with Sasuke. Desperate to protect his family, Itachi's son becomes a Leaf-Nin.
* ''Comments'': A very well-done {{Naruto}} story written with a more {{Seinen}} slant - and dealing with a usual scenario that ends up uncovering a bigger can of worms than anyone ever expected. Very highly recommended.
* Now has [[Fanfic/WhiteRain a tropes page]]!
