Summary
"Orochimaru is free, and Sasuke's in a fucking cage."
~~~~~
Naruto doesn't want the arm Tsunade's cooked up for him. He can't stand the smell of meat. Every day brings new problems: food shortages, refugees, rising tensions between the nations. And of course...
He was supposed to save the world. He was supposed to be a hero.
How did things go so wrong?
Was it always like this?

Summary
"What are you saying?" Kakashi demands, distress turning his tone harsh. "That you don't know when he'll wake up?"
"I'm saying I don't know if he will."
When Itachi uses the Tsukuyomi on his brother that day in the hallway, he miscalculates. In the aftermath, Sakura and Naruto struggle with what it means to be a team and Kakashi sits by the bedside of a boy that might never wake.
A single misstep, and everything changes.

Summary
After the War, Sasuke is struggling: with the past, with Konoha, and with himself. He decides to go on a journey, one he hopes will bring him redemption and maybe some peace of mind.
Naruto isn't willing to let him go so easily, so he does the obvious: invite himself along.
While traveling across the lands, Naruto and Sasuke are forced to confront what lies between them. They make a lot of discoveries about themselves, their past, and their true feelings for each other.
Very slow burn, canonverse, Sasuke POV (he is an unreliable narrator at times, be warned!). Honestly my take on what should have happened at the end of the anime.

Years after the war, Sokka's knee still hurts, and he still can't remember his mother's face. And nothing his world feels Right, even though he's exactly where he thought he'd be twenty years ago.

Summary
Air. Water. Earth. Fire.
Only the Avatar can master all four elements.
But with the Fire Nation's brutal attack on the three other peoples of the world, the cycle returns once more to the element of Fire.
Knowing the plan devised by his cruel father and brother -- the plan to end the era of the Avatar once and for all -- the Dragon of the West turns to the pregnant Lady Ursa and helps her protect her child from the evil that awaits the nation.
Years later, their worst fears, and greatest hopes, are confirmed:
The Avatar did survive the darkest days. And as a prince, he's right under the nose of the Fire Lord. Still, Iroh believes that Zuko can save the world.

Summary
The year is 1985. Sakura Haruno waitresses at a local diner and wonders if dropping out of nursing school means she'll be stuck in sleepy, small-town Bedford Falls for the rest of her life, forever in her best friend's shadow. Sasuke Uchiha's a man on the run, thrust into a world deeper and darker than he ever anticipated.
The chilly Northwestern wind brings change as lives collide, and hearts are bared (as well as broken). The Double R Diner sits at the center of it all- but its foundation will need to be strong enough to weather the storm
(Falling in love with your best friend can be just as bad as falling in love with your worst enemy).

How To Save The World With No One Even Realizing by IncompleteSentanc (Erava)
Fandoms: Naruto
04 Aug 2016
Tags
Summary
Minato knows at the beginning of the week that it's going to be a hellish one. Mostly because it starts with the kidnapping of one of his two remaining students, only a year after they'd lost the first one. He just doesn't realize at the time that it's not going to be a hellish week - it's going to be hell for quite a bit longer than that.
It all starts with Rin's kidnapping, and her subsequent rescue at the hands of a mysteriously appearing, monstrously strong, murderously violent woman.
A woman with cotton candy pink hair.
It only devolves from there.

Summary
In the sealed scroll he finds a Bingo Book – his own page marking him as an S-class nukenin with flee-on-sight orders.
“Ok. That is definitely different.”
In his head he blames Naruto – even if his number one unpredictable student had been nowhere near him on this mission. When things go this stupidly impossibly wrong it must somehow be the future Hokage’s fault.
