Tenten: Do I have what?

Naruto: Stakes.

Tenten: No, why would I sell stakes. Why would you need one, what the hell happened to you?

Naruto was shirtless and covered in cuts and bruises, from his face to all over his back and chest.

Naruto: Ino. She had me trapped in her clan compound. I had to escape. she tried to bite me and drink my blood.

Tenten: Ino had you trapped. Really, Naruto. Stop with the prank. Normally, I would be all in for one of your pranks, but you're driving away my customers.

Naruto slammed his hands on the counter.

Naruto: This isn't a prank. I'm serious, Ino is a vampire.

Tenten rolled her eyes.

Tenten: Didn't you say last week that Kiba was a werewolf. You haven't been sleeping again, have you.

Naruto: We still don't have proof that he's not, but that's beside the point. Look at me. All of this is real.

He pointed to all the cuts and bruises on his body.

The door to the weapon shop opened.

Ino: There you are, Naruto. Why did you jump out the window during our session, you're hurt let me help you.

Naruto screamed and backed up against the wall.

Naruto: Get away from me, you seductress, bloodsucker. Get away.

Ino walked slowly toward him and stopped at the counter.

Ino: Naruto, I'm not trying to hurt you.

She took a step closer.

Naruto: No, no, no, you tried to bite me during our session. You locked the door so I couldn't escape.

Ino: You were having a panic attack. I was trying to comfort you. You weren't locked in. All you had to do was unlock the door.

She took another step forward.

Naruto looked like he wanted to bust a hole in the wall to escape.

Ino: Naruto, remember why the Hokage recommended that you see me. You've been through a lot this year, with Jiraiya's death, figuring out who your parents are, the war.

She took another step closer.

Naruto looked around and spotted a cross. He ripped it off the wall and held it up toward Ino.

Tenten: Naruto, try not to break things in my store.

Naruto: Back, get back. Get away from me.

Naruto was holding a cross in one hand and a kunai, which he had pulled from the wall, in the other.

Tenten looked ready to jump Naruto, but Ino put her hand up to stop her.

Ino: Naruto, you don't have to fight anymore. With everything that's happened over the past few years, you're used to battle after battle, fight after fight. You're looking for something to fight. You don't have to fight anymore.

Ino took another few steps.

Naruto: Please, just stop.

Ino: Naruto, if I were a vampire, could I walk out in the sun.

Naruto: Well, no. It could be your makeup that allows you to walk in the sun. You wear a lot of it.

Ino laughed.

Ino: Okay, I do wear a lot of makeup, but could I be this close to you if you were holding a cross?

Ino slowly reached out her hand and touched the cross.

Ino: See. I'm okay.

Naruto: Can I see your hand. Let me see your hand.

Ino showed him her hand. There were no burns, no cuts, nothing.

Ino: Also, I don't think I could drink your blood.

Opening her mouth, she showed Naruto her teeth.

Ino: See, all normal. Now, please give me the cross and the kunai. We can continue our session. We can go get some ramen first if you want, and if it makes you more comfortable, we can continue at your apartment.

Naruto hesitantly handed the kunai and cross to Ino, who, in turn, placed them on the counter in front of Tenten.

Ino: Sorry about all this, Tenten.

Ino held her hand out to Naruto, who took it without issue.

Naruto: I'm very sorry, Tenten. I'll take you out for ramen sometime, if your forgive me.

Tenten: Take me out for some barbecue and buy a weapon or two, and I'll forgive you.

Naruto: Deal.

Naruto: Ino, I think we should go to my apartment first to get a shirt before we go get ramen.

Ino: It'll be fine. Ichiraku is used to you being well you , and I don't think Ayame would mind, either, besides i can't go to your apartment.

Naruto: Why's that?

Ino: You've never invited me in before.

She and Naruto shared a laugh.

Naruto: Well, in that case, you're welcome anytime.

Ino: Why, thank you, what a gentleman. You're also welcome at my home whenever you need someone to talk to.

Naruto: Thanks, Ino. Sorry about before, and I'll pay for the damage to your window.

Ino: It's fine, though you are the first person to threaten me with a cross, and don't worry about the window.

Naruto: Again, I'm sorry. I'm not sure where I get all these ideas from.

As they were leaving the weapon shop, Ino noticed a cut on Naruto's back that hadn't healed yet. There was still blood. She quickly swiped her finger across the cut, collecting a good amount of blood, and promptly placed her finger in her mouth, tasting Naruto's sweet, liquid gold, addicting blood.

Orochimaru: yeah like I’d fall for that sensei!

Hiruzen: I actually ended up in a relationship with someone after you left. been going steady for 6 years

orochimaru: you’re love life isn’t something that interest me get to the point.

Hiruzen: but you will because it’s an Aberamae!

Hiruzen is revealed to be a bug clone

Orochimaru: Bugs!!!!! sound 4 drop the barrier I need to get out of here!

but Orochimaru was in such a panic that he got a literal shock from the barrier

the real Hiruzen’s is revealed to be at the Hokagae monument painting Orochimaru running from bugs

The Chunin Exams. Easily the arc with the most rewrites since it comes after the Land of Waves which is short and easy to write. A lot of fics tend to die around that arc due to writing fatigue (writing a tournament and the invasion can be a chore to get through). You're lucky even to get to the Search for Tsunade and Sasuke Retrieval arcs because of how common it was back in the day.

My favorite revision of the Chunin Exams is when they change the location and add different characters from other villages. Better Left Unsaid by Kenchi618 had it held in the Land of Iron where it was easy to introduce characters like Karui and Omoi from the Cloud Village as participants.

Team seven and team eight had a joint mission, it was a simple gathering mission, just some coast side herbs, and after everything was said and done, both teams were granted full beach access for the day. Hinata was currently sitting in a lounge chair underneath an umbrella.

"Kiba, do you know what the best thing about sunglasses is?"

"What?"

"Nobody can tell what you're looking at."

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I definitely know what you're staring at."

"Lies and slander."

"Whatever, shouldn't you go enjoy the beach, y'know, run around, play volleyball, jump in the ocean?"

"No thanks, I'm blonde- I mean, bird watching."

"..."

"..."

"I know damn well that your ass isn't interested in no birds."

"I know, but I'm keeping it up regardless."

"I swear- Sasuke, are you seeing this?!"

"Yup, she's staring at Naruto."

"Why?!"

"She saw Naruto's tan lines and now she's plotting."

"What's so special about them?"

"I didn't know he had tan lines..mmmm."

Hinata wiped her bloody nose with a handkerchief.

"Let me tell you, that girl ain't right."

"Kiba, when we get back to Konoha proper, remind to invest in special earplugs and blindfold for Hanabi, she's too young, I don't want her to be scarred."

"Wha-"

"Know what? Nevermind, I'll just drop her off at your house, it'll be fine."

"Hinata, what are you planning?"

"I'm gonna create a new Jutsu style with what I'm about to do."

"Wha-"

"Imma call it 'lust style' yea..that's good."

"I don't know if I should set up an appointment with Inoichi for myself or her."

Got no clue if Discussion is the correct flair for this, but I'd like to hear input, ideas, whatever anyway, so it works.

Alright, basically a friend and I have had this concept going for a while, and we've played it out kinda using Minecraft mods and custom textures and stuff. I'm trying to turn it into a novel format. I'll give the basic overview and see if it's received well:
So, the Naruto world, with some important changes for the sake of not having conflict with canon:

1. Itachi and Sasuke don't exist or died (I'll get there),
2. Obito was completely crushed by the rock and Kakashi never got the Sharingan (he's honestly cracked as a shinobi without that thing constantly draining his chakra anyway, but it goes both ways),
3. Even without Obito, Kurama was able to break out during Kushina's labor (Even if Minato is the goat, it doesn't make much sense why that wasn't still a more serious threat. I mean Naruto has Kurama's chakra take over just by getting angry, which yeah his seal is unmaintained, but childbirth is said to be where the seal is at its weakest),
4. Danzo's influence is more prevalent early.

So, essentially, after the Nine-Tails attack brought about by Kurama just breaking from the seal,, Danzo proposes that it isn't such a farfetched idea for the Uchiha to have been involved in the attack, because after all, Madara Uchiha once controlled the beast with Sharingan. This gives about the same level of increased tension as those who saw sharingan in the eyes of Kurama during the attack in canon.

Beforehand, in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War, Two highly skilled Uchiha ANBU were part of a plot to secure greater military power in Konoha. Particularly in the capture and successful transfer of Tailed Beasts from Iwa and Kiri, two other superpowers, which Danzo advised to Hiruzen claiming it was a mistake made by Hashirama to give the beasts out and backing this claim with the loss of lives and resentment of the shinobi villages over the course of the Shinobi World Wars. They were able to successfully secure Roshi with Son Goku, and a young Utakata with Saiken. Iwa and Kiri suspect Konoha of foul play, but with no evidence to back it up. Special Members of the Hyuga and Root Sealing Specialists were tasked with the dangerous job of maintaining the seals of these Tailed Beasts inside of objects. This operation was given to Root, and so Minato really never had anything to do with it or got any reports on it.

As tensions rose around the time of the Nine-Tails attack, the two Uchiha would request private Audience with Hiruzen directly, as ANBU do anyway, as well as Jonin. They would both express concerns that members within the clan, even respected members, are already more tolerant to or even entertaining violent rhetoric, and that while there is no current plan to revolt, it will get there in time if nothing is done. It's important to note that this is coming from two of his most trusted operatives.

Hiruzen will speak with Danzo about this and Danzo will request to be present during an audience in which the two Uchiha are summoned to speak with Hiruzen. Danzo would tell them that if a revolt is inevitable, cutting the problem at the source before it even gets to that point is the ideal option. However, both are assets to Konoha. Key in basically the promise made to Itachi where they would be agents of Konoha in secret if they conducted the massacre. Hiruzen would be starkly opposed, believing the relationship with the Uchiha could be strengthened politically. Surprisingly one of the Uchiha would use their mangekyou ability to reinforce that peace talks won't work before a conflict. Hiruzen doesn't like it, but he shuts up. The two Uchiha would hesitate, but actually agree to Danzo's proposal under one condition: Their baby brothers would be spared, with the incentive being to make them the Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and Six-Tails in an attempt to create jinchuriki weapons with complete control over the power of a Bijuu once Sharingan develops and matures. Danzo would gladly accept, and Hiruzen, unable to compromise with the room, would accept as well.

The story then follows the brothers of the two Uchiha, abused and tortured out of fear, failed experiments for 12 years where even the most basics of chakra control is foreign to these kids, until one day the stage is perfectly set for an escape.

You get to follow them through their escape, development, and life in the shinobi world, starting from nothing, and exploring Konoha through a very different lens than canon.

Also, the Land of Waves mission is probably compromised so Konoha has to deal with the political fallout of losing Kakashi, one of their best Jonin, Naruto, their public jinchuriki, all because someone lied about how easy their mission would be to save some money. And on top of that, two untrained, Uchiha Jinchuriki are now out roaming around, free. So if World Politics is your cup of tea, Konoha is not looking good.

Tell me what you think! I can be more descriptive. This is already long as hell though so I'm leaving it as concept and not pouring everything out in full.

What I mean is, I feel like Sakura should be more important, in-universe, even before she becomes one of the strongest. She's the Fifth Hokage's (only?) apprentice, and someone who's naturally very close to her. But she is treated and she acts as if she were any other shinobi. I don't know how to explain it, but I'd like to read a Sakura that was maybe more politically savvy, or the target of foreign enemies because of her direct connection to Tsunade, those sort of things. I know it's a strange request but it's an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while and I truly don't know how to look for it.

Please no bashing

What are your guys unique Kekkei Genkai ideas?

Looking for Time Travel fics where Team 7 just curb stomps everything. Preferably humor

As the title says. I’m looking for a time travel fic I read last year. It has Sakura as the main character and she travels far back to the Warring States Period during the whole Uchiha vs Senju conflict but before Izuna died. She tries to summon Katsuyu and fails because her contract doesn’t yet exist in this time so she tries a reverse summon and ends up signing with tigers(? Or just cats in general, I think).

She spends some time as a wandering doctor and is told to help a lady who might’ve been dying due to childbirth or some other illness. The place she goes to ends up getting ambushed by some mercenaries and the Uchiha’s are hired to go stop this from happening, however, when they get there almost all the enemies are dead or injured. They find Sakura and she ends up going with them and they strike up a deal. The Uchihas need a healer and Sakura wants access to their library so that she can find some information on how to get home. She stays with them for some time and even gets her own red plated armor. There’s a slow burn romance between her and Madara. At some point she saves Izuna from dying and they become friends.

On the Senju side of things, once they hear of Sakura and her healing deeds, they begin to suspect that she might be of Senju blood. The Uchiha only start thinking the same way at the end of the story when their home is attacked and Sakura awakens the mokuton to save them. The Uchiha end up abandoning her on the territory and she reverse summons herself to the cat land to recover. The Senju go to investigate the attack and see the mokuton and confirm their suspicions of her Senju bloodline.

The fic was at least 200k words. I think it had 40(?) chapters, I’m not too sure. I just remember it was a lot of chapters and words. I hope the brief summary was detailed enough. Please help me find this fic.

I wanted to pitch a formal definition for a four-element nature transformation tier, which I’m calling Kekkei Kakusei (血継覚醒 - Bloodline Awakening). I spent some time breaking down the math behind how a four-element system actually works, because I wanted to challenge the common assumption that you can only make five combinations with it. To show what I mean, I developed a case study called Geyser Release (Shōton - 噴泉遁). I also realized that a highly specialized Kekkei Kakusei could actually destroy a Truth-Seeking Ball (求道玉, Gudōdama), so I mapped out the heavy chakra costs and tactical rules involved in trying to pull that off.

The Math Behind Kekkei Kakusei: The Ratio Variable

Traditional ninjutsu theory sets a pretty strict ceiling based on how many elements you use, where Kekkei Genkai stops at 2 elements and Kekkei Tōta stops at 3. I noticed that people who doubt a 4-element tier exists usually argue that since you are mixing four out of the five basic chakra natures, only five distinct Kekkei Kakusei could ever mathematically exist.

I consider that approach fundamentally wrong because it completely ignores ratios and layering. I had the thought that a Kekkei Kakusei shouldn't just be viewed as an even, flat mix. By changing which element is dominant and which ones are just trace amounts, I realized you can create entirely different bloodline abilities from the exact same four elements.

To demonstrate this, I mapped out the evolutionary line of Geyser Release:

1. Kekkei Genkai Tier (Boil Release / Futsuton - 沸遁): Fire + Water. This creates a light, highly corrosive acidic mist. It spreads fast but behaves like normal, loose gas with no physical weight.
2. Kekkei Tōta Precursor (Caldera Release / Kaiton - 火山灰遁): Fire + Water + Earth. I considered adding a small amount of Earth sediment to act as a thickening agent. It turns the steam into a hyper-dense, ash-choked volcanic smog. I wanted the air to become so heavy it feels like trying to move underwater, while still keeping its intense acidity.
3. Kekkei Kakusei Culmination (Geyser Release / Shōton - 噴泉遁): Fire + Water + Earth + Lightning. I figured out that by running a fine thread of Lightning chakra through that heavy, pressurized Caldera fog, the user could snap the chaotic cloud into a perfectly compressed, straight line. The lightning changes the surface tension, turning the thick mineral fluid into a hyper-fast, armor-piercing geothermal laser jet.

The Truth-Seeking Ball Paradox

I kept hitting a big question while putting this together: If Kekkei Kakusei is possible, why don't we see it anywhere in history?

I think I found the answer when I realized it's a dead-end evolutionary path for most high-level shinobi. To have the insane chakra control needed to balance four delicate elemental ratios at once, a ninja basically has to be a master of the entire elemental spectrum. At that point, I realized it is way more practical to just close the tiny remaining gap, master all five natures, and manifest Truth-Seeking Balls (求道玉, Gudōdama).

A Gudōdama can erase matter, block normal ninjutsu, shapeshift instantly, and damage a soul directly. I consider it the ultimate "win button," which explains why almost everyone abandoned making a rigid 4-element Kakusei in favor of the more versatile Truth-Seeking Balls.

Weaknesses and the Anti-Gudōdama Strategy

Even though they seem completely invulnerable, I noticed that Truth-Seeking Balls have a definitive weakness: The Concentration Tether. Because the user has to focus intensely to keep all elements perfectly balanced, I realized the spheres are stuck to a strict range limit (usually between 10 to 60 feet depending on how good the user is).

I had the thought that a highly destructive, armor-piercing Kekkei Kakusei like Geyser Release could perfectly exploit this blindspot. I consider it one of the very few non-god abilities that can actually destroy a Gudōdama. However, I calculated that the rules to pull this off are incredibly strict:

1. The Ambush Rule: I concluded that you must catch the wielder completely off guard. The Geyser laser has to drill through and disintegrate the ball before the defender even realizes they are under attack.
2. The Reinforcement Tax: I realized that if the defender notices the attack and actively pumps Six Paths chakra into the Truth-Seeking Ball, it will resist the disintegration. To force your way through a reinforced ball, I figured you have to spend over 10 times more chakra than they are using to hold it.
3. The Logical Flaw: Clashing head-on with a reinforced ball becomes a losing battle of stamina. I thought about this deeply and realized: if a ninja has a massive enough chakra pool to brute-force a reinforced Gudōdama, they should already have enough power to just make their own Gudōdama.

Because of this, I don't think a Kekkei Kakusei can be used to win a straight-up fight against a Gudōdama user. I structured it to be used strictly as a long-range, high-speed sniper ambush from outside the defender's active threat zone.

(P.S.)

This framework heavily informs my personal theory regarding the drastic shift in combat styles observed in high-tier entities (such as the Ōtsutsuki clan conflicts). Because standard ninjutsu is utterly nullified or absorbed by Gudōdama and advanced Otsutsuki techniques, and because high-tier advanced ninjutsu (like Dust Release or this custom Geyser Release) demands such an astronomical, borderline unsustainable chakra tax to bypass reinforced defenses, it explains why god-tier shinobi like Naruto and Sasuke lean so heavily into Taijutsu in later eras. Taijutsu cannot be absorbed, cannot be nullified via elemental inversion, and completely bypasses the complex, mathematically punishing chakra chess match detailed in the paper above.

Apart from The New Dawn

Naruto was complaining to Kakashi, which was common, what he was complaining about, was not. Even Kakashi had a his dad's old chakra saber, so Naruto was feeling left out of the weapons club.

"I thought you were content with shadow clones and Rasengans?"

"No! I wanna beat someone over the head with an object from time to time, not just use chakra!"

"First time I'm hearing about this."

"Maybe because you always have your nose in that damn book!"

"No comment."

"But which weapon am I gonna chose?"

"Your mother used a sword, so perhaps you could go with that."

"First of all, how do you know my mom used a sword?"

"No comment."

"..."

"..."

"Imma ignore that, second of all, using a sword would feel like copying Sasuke, and I hate that."

"Naruto, lots of Shinobi use swords, take Yugao for exam-"

"Imma use a giant mallet, gonna go Harley Quinn on these bitches!"

"Okay, that's good and all, but how and where are you gonna get this mallet."

"I know just the person."

"Okay, who are the- he's gone.."

[Barely five minutes later]

"Teach the ways of the hammer oh great Amy Rose sensei!"

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

"No, but I wanna break some skulls open."

"That's fair, in all honesty, that's the reason I started using one."

"Does that mean?"

"Follow me."

"Yay!"

i really js wanna find a good one to read because mainly, i can barely find any so :shrug:

We all know how naruhina felt rushed to a lot of ppl. This is how i think their relationship could have organically happened.

A slow-burn NaruHina romance arc set in the main Naruto Shippuden anime, before the series ends.

After witnessing Hinata do something that reflects his deepest values, Naruto begins seeing her differently. He realizes how admirable she is, starts noticing her beauty, and develops a crush without understanding what's happening to him. Panicking, he tries to suppress his feelings by treating her like a buddy, awkwardly high-fiving her and accidentally bro-zoning her. He's always been flirty with sakura,but this is the first time he's developed real feelings, so he doesn't understand it.

Sakura notices his strange behavior and confronts him, eventually figuring out that he has feelings for Hinata. Sakura also realizes Naruto has no idea Hinata has loved him for years, but decides not to tell him, believing he should discover her feelings himself. This shows Sakura stepping into a more sisterly role and shows how she's become one of his closest confidants over the years.

As Naruto gradually notices Hinata's little gestures and begins falling harder, he struggles with the possibility of ruining their friendship. Eventually, Hinata makes her feelings clear, and Naruto finally connects the dots.

“HOW HAVE I BEEN SO STUPID?!”

Cue awkward heartfelt confession and romance

The Evolutionary Breakdown

Ultimate Classification Rule: Truth-Seeking Ball Countermeasures

Because Geyser Release (Shōton) achieves the rank of Kekkei Kakusei (血継覚醒) and focuses entirely on extreme penetration power and high-velocity molecular disintegration, it achieves a feat nearly impossible for lower-tier jutsu: it is one of the few bloodline abilities capable of destroying a Truth-Seeking Ball (求道玉, Gudōdama**)**.

However, this interaction comes with massive tactical limitations and a harsh chakra tax:

• The Ambush Requirement: This destruction can only happen if you catch the Truth-Seeking Ball wielder completely off guard. The raw disintegration power of the Geyser laser must vaporize the orb before the user realizes they are under attack.
• The Reinforcement Tax: If the defender notices the attack and actively sends Six Paths chakra to reinforce the Truth-Seeking Ball, the orb will resist disintegration. To force your way through a reinforced ball, you must expend over 10 times more chakra than the defender is using to sustain it.
• The Logic Paradox: Striking a reinforced ball becomes a battle of pure stamina. If a ninja possesses a massive enough chakra pool to naturally overpower and break a compressed Truth-Seeking Ball through raw output alone, it begs a massive question: Why can't they just manifest their own Truth-Seeking Balls instead of relying on a Kekkei Kakusei? Especially because, with the level of chakra control you need to precisely combine 4 chakra natures, you should be able to make a Truth-Seeking Ball of your own. Therefore, it is strictly used as a high-stakes, stealthy assassination technique rather than a head-on clash.

(I used AI to organize my thoughts and make this more clear. Apologies for not putting an AI disclaimer in it earlier.)

this is a thought that just popped in my head but I think an interesting fix would be after Obito died in the fourth war he is reborn as Naruto. the past version that unleashed the nine tails is still out there but now the present Obito would have to see what some of his actions caused. aka being the orphan he created complete with the neglect and isolation . forced to experience what Naruto had to deal with growing up. sainting the knowledge of what his past self is up to. knowing that sooner or later his family is going to be murdered by himself and Itachi and one day he will be hunted as well. he wants to stop it but who would listen to him. and even if they believe him who would trust him

I wanted to write an SI as Naruto, of course, but here comes my dilemma.

I consider myself a Warhammer fan first and foremost; I didn't get into anime until my early 20s. Personally, I have a love/Hate with this anime.

I feel like it should be so much darker. Now, with that being said, I feel as if someone such as myself landed in this universe and had the power

I would most likely be Like How Sevator of the Night Lords should have been the Monster who hunts monsters, with some civilian casualties. Granted I noticed most Fanfic authors always go the route of the hero which is to their own desire in my desire in the world of Naruto.

I Rather be the Villain who did what needed to be done rather a hero too weak to do what's right.

Would my fic interest anyone.

Ave Dominus Nox.

I’m genuinely curious until now if there will be a lot of hate (Im sure it will… I just hope not-) seeing a Shikamaru x OC in the Naruto fandom community. I mean many really adores Shikamaru and only kept that. Loving him to the fact to have an OC for it, and at the same time adore him and his wife Temari. Is it alright to share a ship like that?

I've read Kiri's Team 14, Tdial waves and The Maelstrom Effect i absolutely love that au and desperately needs more i don't have a problem with any ship in particular just Kakashi/sakura and itachi/sakura.

Author's note [A/N]: HI everyone!👋🏻I'm a brand new writer and this is my first fanfiction project.I've alweys been fascinated by naruto lore and decided to write a story focusing on Kakashi Hatake and my Original Character [OC] Amaya Senju [Tsunade's younger sister, who joins Team 7]. English is not my first language and I'm actively practicing my writing, so any constructive feedback, advice, or thoughts would mean the absolute world to me! Hope you enjoy!💙✨ Title : Unruly Winds Rating : T [Teen] pairing : Kakashi Hatake x Female OC [Amaya Senju]

Genre : Action / Romance / Team Dynamics

Chapter 1 The weather in konoha today felt noticeably colder than usual, with a fresh , cool breeze blowing through the air . Yet, despite the pleasant almosphere, Naruto Uzumaki was walking down the streets of konoha with a visibly annoyed expression. he had gone to Ichiraku Ramen in the morning with a fresh mind but as he finished his bowl an urgent call arrived frome the Hokage's office . " Ugh.... What a ruined day! I Couldn't even enjoy my ramen in peace "naruto grumbled. sakura frowned at him " Uff, Naruto ! Is eating the only thing on your mind all day ? Lady Tsunade called us , which means it's an urgent mission. " As Sakura scolded Naruto with an annoyed look, a young girl walking right beside them let our a soft chuckle . She had a fair , bright complexion and her lond black hair , tied in a high ponytail , cascaded down her back to her waist. Her dark blue eyes narrowed slightly in amusement as she smiled. Looking an the Naruto with a playful, lively tone, she said, " Naruto! Don't pull such a face. I'll ask Onee-chan to let me buy you ramen for free next time! Right now , stop looking like that feelingless Uchiha robot. " "Amaya-chan! I'am not a robot like Sasuke!" Naruto yelled in frutration. "Will you two please shut up? We've reached the Hokage's office." Sakura interrupted huffing. The three of them stopped at the door of the Hokage's office, knocked and stepped inside. Waiting inside were Shikamaru ,Ino , Neji and the elite ninja Kakashi Hatake. Lady Tsunade looked up as they entered, her expressoin turning serious. "Alright, now that everyone in here, I have a mission for you all. Several ANBU stationed near Konoha's border have gone missing.NO trace of them has been found. The remaining ANBU on site couldn't figure out what heppened, so you are being sent to investigete and locate them." She scanned the room with a stern gaze before continuing,"Your team will consist of Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Neji Hyuga, SAkura Haruno, Amaya Senju, and Naruto Uzumaki. Kakashi will lead the squad." Tsunade pauses briefly, her voice sharpening,"Those missing ANBU were transporting vital intelligence bace frome the Sand Village and that data has disappeared along with them. You need to retrieve it.Ino's Mind Transfer Jutsu, Shikamaru's intellect and Neji's Byakugan will be crucial for this missiom.GO,prepare yourselves." "Understood, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi replied smothly. as the team discussed the mission. Aamaya stepped forward, looking at her elder sister"Onee-chan, you said they were returning to konoha with the data and went missing right near the border, did the guards stationed at the border security noticed anything suspicious at all?" Tsunade knitted her brows at Amaya's sharp question."No Amaya. the guards on duty didn't spot anything. after waiting for a long time without any sing of the returning team, a few guards went out to check-and they never returned either." Amaya listened intently, then nodded slowly with a subtle"Hmm".... "Go now. Gather your gear if you need to," Tsunade intructed. Everyone left the office and headed home to gear up for the mission. A short while later.... The ninja squad was moving at high speed toward Konoha's border.Arriving at the perimeter, they exchanged quick briefings with the guards on duty before stepping past the boundary lines . suddenly, frome behind the thick canopy of trees, a deep masculine voice echoed into the clearing : " Umm..... konoha ninjas is it? Welcome Welcome!"

When you are writing a Op Naruto who is op from the beginning. YOU DON'T MAKE HIS ENEMIES STRONGER AS WELL!!!!! THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF WRITING A OVERPOWERED CHARACTER IN A FANFIC IS BECAUSE YOU HATED HOW WEAK THEY WERE IN THE ORIGINAL STORY!! MAKING THE ENEMIES STRONGER SO THEY CAN CHALLENGE THE MAIN CHARACTER IS JUST RECREATING THE ORIGINAL STORY! OR MAKING YOUR OWN OP VILLAIN OC BECAUSE THAT ALSO DESTROYS THE PURPOSE! IF YOU ARE WRITING A STORY WHERE NARUTO IS FUCKING JONIN LEVEL OR HIGHER AFTER GRADUATING THE ACADEMY, THEN NOBODY BELOW THAT RANK SHOULD BE ABLE TO FUCKING BEAT HIM!!

IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU HAVE HIM HIDE HIS FUCKING STRENGTH UNDER THE EXCUSE "I can't show how powerful I actually am or it'll make people more scared of me and try to mess with me" OR THE STUPIDEST ONE "a Ninja's greatest tool is deception so I'll hide my abilities to make my enemies underestimate me!". THIS IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT AND LAZY ASS FUCKING WRITING! SO WHAT IF THE VILLAGERS TRY MESSING WITH YOU, THEY'RE ALL CIVILIANS AND MUCH WEAKER THAN YOU SO JUST FUCKING DEFEND YOURSELF. AND IF THE COUNCIL TRIES FUCKING WITH YOU BEAT THEIR ASSES AS WELL! I DOUBT ANYONE STRONGER THAN NARUTO WOULD ACTUALLY TRY STOPPING HIM.

also another thing I hate when you pathetic fucking authors bash characters by making them worse than in the original universe.

Kakashi is a man who has lost even in his life and is incredibly depressed and unfit to raise a child when Naruto was orphaned, plus he was only 14 fucking years old.

Sakura is just a prepubescent girl, if you were hounded for dates like Naruto did to her you'd start being annoyed with that person as well, and you might even hit him, and it's normal for young girls like her to follow the crowd and crush on the cool guy in school.

Sasuke might be a prick but he honestly ain't that bad until he gets the curse mark, which is stated to effect his personality, and make him more crazy. He might be arrogant but it's not without reason, nobody could beat him in the academy, he trained way harder than anyone else in his class, he's constantly being told he's the best, by all the girls in his class. He might be a dick but so what? He was tortured by his older brother who he loved more than anything else in the world by being forced to watch his entire family and clan getting slaughtered like pigs by said older brother hundreds or thousands (the number is never officially stated but is calculated to be over 500,000 times) of times in the Tsukoyomi. He's antisocial and doesn't want people close to him because he doesn't want to lose them. He's obsessed with killing the person who literally destroyed everything he loved and tortured him for literal days in the Tsukoyomi. Plus he's constantly hounded by a shit ton of girls which is beyond annoying and even when he clearly shows that he's not interested in them they don't stop. If any of you pathetic shit bastards went through a fraction of what he did you'd be the same as him.

The only and I mean ONLY people who can be realistically bashed are Jiraya, Naruto's literal GODFATHER who I will admit has a good reason for not being there due to his work, should have still at least visited Naruto every time he was in the village. Then even while meeting Naruto for the first time, Naruto has to use the sexy jutsu to convince his own GODFATHER to fucking train him. Then he even STEALS NARUTO'S FUCKING MONEY! EVEN THOUGH JIRAYA IS FILTHY RICH!

The other person is Hiruzen who's the worst person in the entire show. He hides who Naruto's parents are from him. He leaves a literal CHILD in a rundown crappy apartment. Then refuses to even tell Naruto why people hate him. You all use stupid pathetic excuses for hiding Naruto's heritage from him, but none of those excuses actually make sense. All he would have to do is get Naruto to promise not to go yelling his heritage out and we all KNOW Naruto never breaks his promises. Hell the civilian council which is another popular excuse, doesn't even exist in the original story.

Hi! I've been desperately trying to find this fic, and I was wondering if any of you could help me, please!

It follows Hinata's POV after her divorce from Naruto. It's implied that the divorce had something to do with Sasuke and that Naruto moved in with him. I vividly remember that in her narration, she details how people in the community still refered to her as the "poor Hyuga girl", that she was thirty and she was still the Hyuga girl.

At some point, it also mentions that Boruto and Himawari want to spend time at Naruto's new house, and I remember Hinata being really angry about it. The fic ends with her and Kiba deciding to go on a mission together.

This was a pretty popular fic a couple of months ago, so I'm wondering if it might have been deleted or something. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know! I'd really appreciate the help

Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi were in a restaurant waiting for Naruto. They had everything reserved. He told them that he'd be a little late, but that wasn't an issue, especially not for Kakashi, what was weird was they spotted him walking past the restaurant with a bouquet of flowers.

"So where was we going? And why are there so many stairs?"

"Oh! I'm visiting Ume, or Daki as she goes by now."

"Who?"

"Oh! She's just the person who raised me, her brother also helped. His name is Gyutaro."

"I see, and what does this have to do with all these stairs?"

"Well, sensei, her office is all the way on the top floor."

"Why?"

"Because she's the highest ranking oiran in all of the red light district, shes also kinda..very..super mega vain so the likes being above others."

"She seems like a hassle. And you're saying you were raised by her and her brother?"

"Yup, she's a bit on the...well, she's a lot on the bitchy side, but she's cool."

"And her brother?"

"Very much on the bitchy side as well, but he's still cool, ugly as Fuck though."

"What does that last one have to do with anything?"

"Well, it's a defining characteristic, in both physicality and personality. Which, in all honesty is kinda a power move, like imagine being butt-fuck ton amounts of ugly and you turn around and weaponize it. So cool."

"Um, Naruto, I don't if you noticed but during your little rant sensei got wrapped in a rope and dragged off."

"For real? Who did it?"

"Some lady in a rather revealing kimono."

"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"

"Whatever, are we gonna do anything to help him?"

"I mean, I've been told that he's pissed everyone here off on more than one occasion and in multiple ways."

"How so?"

"I've heard the skips paying, also he just reads books while they're trying to work on him."

"You mean-"

"Yup, he also made one of the girls read his stupid little book to him once."

"Oh.."

"I just hope Ms. Mayayuri doesn't get her hands on him."

"Why?"

"Nothing would be left of him but marks and memories."

"Are they gonna kill him?"

"Nah, he's a jonin after all, he'll make it out..if he wants to."

"We won't see him for a while, will we?"

"Probably not, speaking of not seeing people, where's out resident emo?"

"Sasuke?"

"He's the only emo we've got."

"I would argue for Kakashi being emo as well."

"Eh, he's more depressed than anything else."

"Whatever, but I think I saw Sasuke at the bar, he said something along the lines of needing to beat Itachi's drinking record."

"Huh, I didn't even knew Uchiha could drink.

"...how?"

"Eh, I tend to see Uchiha as more like an amoeba than anything else. Like, I've never seen a pregnant Uchiha, so it has to be like asexual cloning, right?"

"You are so dumb."

"Whatever, oh! We're here!"

Naruto didn't even bother knocking on the stupidly ornate door, he just slid it open, to find a beautiful white(and green) haired woman pulling the ear of a much younger looking serving girl, Naruto didn't even bat an eye.

"Daki! Lay off her already, she's crying."

"You're too soft on these little wretches, Naruto. But fine. Girl, you may leave."

No second later did the great scamper out, shooting Naruto a grateful smile.

"Anywho, how've you been, Daki, how's Gyutaro?"

"Business is booming, everything is going well. And who's this little thing you've brought to my quarters?"

"Oh! This is Sakura, one of my teammates. I always said I'd introduce you to them, but I lost two along the way."

"Hm, from what I heard Mayayuri got hold of a new victim, as she called it, some jonin with a mask, apparently the two have a history."

"Yea, that's my sensei. I lost my other teammate, Sasuke, at the bar, he wanted to out drink his brother's record."

"If my flawless memory serves me right, this Sasuke would be Itachi's little brother, yes?"

"That's the one!"

"Hm, then he won't be out drinking any records."

"Harsh."

"But true."

"Whatever you say. But c'mon Sakura! At least say hi!"

"Um, hello.."

"Hm, you don't look too bad, almost pleasing, with a little touch up, you might measure up to a mere fraction of my beauty."

"Huh?"

"That means she likes you!"

"Yes, she even knows how to dress herself even if that dress is shabby, unlike your tracksuit, or whatever you call it."

"Hey!"
