Izuku’s day is quite normal, if not a little taxing, till an unknown pain licks at his insides and the next thing he knows: a blond stranger is sitting on his dorm couch and insulting Bakugo and escaping Aizawa’s scarf like it’s nothing. Naturally, he wants to find out more about this man named Naruto.
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.
Naruto tries to follow the path walked by his ancestors, to find his own identity. He makes bonds along the way, finds family in people who teach him the meaning of the word and falls in love with seals. The world learns that an Uzumaki with a paper and ink is ten times more terrifying than a jinchuuriki with endless chakra. (Unfortunately for them, Naruto is both.)
It’s a simple enough condition placed before Naruto: guide a genin team till they’re all chunins to secure his position as the next Hokage or give up the mantle for good. At least in theory.
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.
Through a completely unrealistic series of events, Naruto - the Hokage of Konoha - lands in the body of his younger counterpart, 22 years into the past. What follows is Naruto making the most of his second life which includes befriending a revenge-thirsty Sasuke, helping Sakura get over her puppy crush, annoying Kakashi and somehow getting entangled in a romance with Shikamaru.
To commemorate the anniversary of the end of the fourth shinobi world war, a bunch of genin perform a street play on the lives of their war heroes, Konoha 11. Of course, Konoha 11 receive front row seats for the show and if the play turns out to be more of a parody than a tribute? Well then, it's for the poor war heroes to watch and for you to find out.
Kakashi finds Tori annoying. Then he finds her tolerable–then attractive–then really fucking attractive. Put in his efforts to pursue her, add a bit of angst, sprinkle some more pointless sadness, pour in an appropriate amount of bad humor, stir–and serve hot this awful concoction.
Konoha 11 want to get Naruto a good birthday gift. Problem is, as their brainstorming session begins, they realise they don't know enough about Naruto to know what he'd like. Or a story where 11 idiots follow Naruto around for a whole day, trying to understand what the fuck he does with his free time.
Teddy is so done with Harry and his hugs.
Taking advantage of Ino mind-walking into Naruto’s head, Kurama decides to play matchmaker. The result is Naruto and Ino getting mentally connected and yet somehow – it all ends up being just fine.
War leaves people changed, through trauma, through tragedy. Shikamaru has found himself a coping mechanism that involves kunais and lots of trees. He's just surprised that Ino finds it therapeutic too. Oneshot.
Obito did not know how years of his shinobi training, hardships, missions, blood, sweat and tears had ultimately culminated with him being the permanent babysitter of a very adorable but very annoying toddler. Well, atleast he wasn't alone in this torture. The tall, lean, white haired boyfriend of his was with him. One-shot. Fluff. Short.
Recently burdened with the jounin rank, Shikamaru doesn't expect any more difficulties in his life. But then there's a guy with bright yellow hair who he's never met before, smiling at him and his teammates like they're old friends. A mystery to unravel, unfold, undo presented before him and how the fuck can he say no to that?
Sasha Sumitra is a content middle-aged woman, surrounded by her numerous cat pets and haphazardly hung picture frames. Until one day, she dies. Thrown into the body of Iruka Umino from a manga she remembers from hazy, half-forgotten, half-made up memories; she hasn't the faintest clue of how she'll survive this world...and what's that about teaching kids how to kill people?
