Summary
Through a completely unrealistic series of events, Naruto—the Hokage of Konoha—lands in the body of his younger counterpart, twenty-two years into the past.
What follows is Naruto making the most of his second life which includes turning revenge-thirsty Sasuke into a normal angsty teenager, helping Sakura get over her puppy crush, annoying Kakashi and somehow getting himself entangled in a romance with Shikamaru (which for the record, doesn’t even feel like one).
Orochimaru and the Akatsuki linger in the background, but Naruto’s not letting them ruin his life by a stupid war to feed the ego of a dead man. Again, that is.

Summary
"Are you two...are you Sakura and Sasuke's elder siblings?"
Sakura looks slightly offended, "I'm sorry kid but you've got it wrong. I am Sakura and this is Sasuke. We don't have any younger siblings."
Sasuke agrees easily, but the kid scoffs.
"Please. Those two are my teammates. I know them well. And Sasuke is only an inch or two taller than me. Sakura is my height. Are y'all their aged-up rips offs?"
Naruto dies as a Jounin.
But comes back as a genin who has no idea why two impostors are claiming to be his friends, Sakura and Sasuke.
Add to that a teary eyed Kushina and a bewildered Minato and things start to get chaotic.
Or where time travel + dimension hopping goes terribly right or terribly wrong.

Summary
A dare can take an average man to mountains and valleys and pubs and casinos.
But ninjas are no average men.
So it's really no surprise that a stupid dare lands Kakashi and Naruto into the past.
No,the surprise is that, somehow, they're not in their own bodies.
Oh, fucking, well.
___Short, actually scratch that, TINY chapters.

Summary
“Stop with the riddles, will you?” he said, frustrated by his circumstances. “How am I supposed to stop Black Zetsu? What good will it even do?”
“From the time you come from, it won’t,” Hagoromo supplied, still speaking in riddles. “Go back, Naruto. When you step out, think of the past, think of a time long gone and if Luck smiles down on you, you’ll be transported to a time that’s passed.”“You’re nuts!” he spoke in a rush. “What do you mean I should go back?”
“You’ll figure it out,” Hagoromo smiled shakily, illuminated eyes looking down upon the blond with regret. “And remember, your enemy is Black Zetsu – anyone else, they’re just someone from a future yet to come.”
In the body of a stranger with the knowledge of a bleak future far far ahead, Naruto has to find a way to prevent Madara’s alienation in Konoha. With that, there’s a prophecy like a leash around his neck and Black Zetsu who’s dead-set on avenging the entity that gave birth to him.
But Naruto knows one thing: if he’s going to live in the past, he might as well have some fun with it.

Summary
Receiving the full extent of the Sage’s powers was well and good, till Naruto realised he wasn’t a mortal anymore. Not really. He never stayed dead long enough for that.

Summary
Naruto let himself be pulled by the arm, too stunned to protest. He was neither Iruka’s student – had not been for years – nor was he lying. But one thing was clear enough.
Kiba’s mini clone was most probably, most outrageously, Kiba himself.
And Naruto, somehow, had turned young again. Young enough to be a student at the Academy.
Young enough to live his life a second time.
____At the age of twenty, Naruto’s close to burning out. His life has culminated into a suffocating box with no escape. A class reunion sends him into a spiral, wishing for a way to redo his life.
Naruto wakes up as an Academy-going student once again, seeing faces of friends he’s long been estranged from, seeing mistakes he hasn’t yet made and a chance to change his future for the better. The only question is whether Naruto is ready for change or not.

Summary
The thing nobody told you about activating a completely original and multilayered sealing matrix functioned to transport people through space instantaneously was that time inevitably became a variable in the equation, deadset on messing with your carefully rendered plans and turning them into incomprehensible mush.
Well, nobody told Naruto, at the very least.

Summary
They say he’s a good kid, they say he’s a dutiful one. Jounin who visit the Tower frequently stop by the doorways to exchange a word or two with him. People seem to like him and he fits in like a glove in a place he has never been in before.
His name is Naruto. Kushina doesn’t ask him. Instead, she reads from the registration profile buried under piles of other paperwork while she’s in Minato’s office.
A crumbling future forces Naruto to go to a time before he was born, a week after Kushina learns of her pregnancy, with the sole aim of changing everyone’s future for the better. There is one condition, though: he cannot exist in this world after his counterpart is born. He has nine months and then, he must leave.
One way or another.

Summary
“Is the Rinnegan... ” Naruto spoke aloud, his voice hoarse after all the yelling. Traveling between times and dimensions was an arduous process and even after his eighteenth venture, he couldn’t get used to it.
“Gone,” Sasuke bit out, sounding bitter despite the exhaustion that marred him from head to toe. “The Rinnegan’s gone and we’re stuck here forever. Hope you’re happy.”
In the eighteenth world, Sasuke and Naruto finally find the dastardly Zetsu Army. They’re at their wit’s end, both with their conniving foe and with each other. Something has to give and even though they don’t often see eye-to-eye, they know it has to be the humanoid creature causing havoc across spacetime.
All they need to do is bide time, avoid their younger counterparts, dodge friendly faces from the past and obliterate every Zetsu they see in sight.
And then, after everything’s over, and revenge is theirs, maybe, just maybe, they can settle into this skewed world that still has some space leftover to give them a home.
... If only they’d stuck to the plan to lay low.
Then again, when had Sasuke and Naruto ever accomplished anything without being flashy?
