[ ON HOLD ]

What if he chose to walk a different path? 
                           
     What if he chose to leave everyone and everything behind? 

           What if he chose to run away from the whispering behind his back and distant shouts?

Maybe it was the right thing to do. 
Maybe not. 

But he had to keep walking, with his chin held high, no matter how painful and remorseful his past was. But what if he had to return to that place full of sad memories and aching hearts?

                  Will he still maintain that
             unbreakable mask or will it be                                 
                                  shattered?

Redemption |complete| (SasuSaku) by Mel55_59
107 parts Complete Mature
(Complete) Sasuke comes back to Konoha after a journey seeking atonement and redemption. Finally becoming the man his brother wished he will be, he decides that it is time to make amends with the ones he left behind. He realizes that it won't be as easy as he thought it was going to be. What happened in the time period from Sasuke's come back to Boruto? What secrets did Sasuke and Sakura discover while they were away? A story that shows what happened from the time he got back to the moment when Sasuke sees Sarada again. Rated M for sexual content, mental illness and mental breakdown and a sexual abuse situation. Trigger warning at the start of every chapter containing hard topics and scenes like that are in italic so you can skip over them. (Every lemon can be skipped, they don't impact the story.) The timeline is respected as much as possible and I try to keep my characters in character without changing them too much I do not own any of the character I only own the story. Ps: I started this story during Covid lockdown and wanted to help people escape for an hour a day so I write a chapter for every day of my country's lockdown... hence why there are so ,any chapters.
Heal Me, Like You Always Do. by Britney_Green
10 parts Complete
Naruto has been ridiculed and shamed. His heart was torn into shreds as he never felt more useless in his life. Moreover, this caused him to drop the charade of being the village idiot. He didn't need to act dumb anymore because all it did was get him hurt. Perhaps this made him more vulnerable. The girl, by his side, has offered him ointment and constant support, but she doesn't know how much her kindness will help to save whatever is left of who he used to be. Unmasked! Depression! Triggers! Naruhina! Super Naruto! Smart Naruto! Drama! And ... Mild Sakura Bashing! I'm sorry!!!!! I am learning to like Sakura but... just like Sasuke it's going to take some time to love her.

⏪ Back in Time! (HELP!) [Sakura Timetravel AU] by ProdigyBozo13
43 parts Complete
What happens when a young (and bratty) girl's body is taken over by.... herself? Well, from the future. Konohagakure is in the midst of a deadly war with the one of the Legendary Sanin, Orochimaru. Things have taken a deadly turn and the village has gone under attack. Having no choice left, Tsunade, the Hokage of the Leaf, turns to Sakura as she is the last straw. Sakura, with no preparation whatsoever, is suddenly forced back in time in order to stop certain events from happening and save Konoha along with the other villages. Tense and scared (quite possibly unstable) inside this new world of responsibility, Sakura feels all alone on this mission- but she knows that she will have to take on the challenge. All of fate rests in her hands, can she change this timeline? [Sakura-centric story.] [Also main ship is SasuSaku (I will never have enough of them!!!)] ----------- Ranked #1 in SasuSaku sometime during 1/2020 Ranked #1 in SasuSaku again on 5/12/2021???! (I do not own the Naruto series! This is a story based on the franchise!)
Lost in the Blue by amvkween
16 parts Complete Mature
It's almost been a year since the Fourth Great Ninja War ended and things are pretty boring in Konoha. Naruto rarely sees his friends anymore, with Sakura training to become a better medical-nin all the time and Sasuke being confined to his own apartment under constant watch. When interdimensional activity is discovered far, far south, in the middle of the ocean, Kakashi unites the Konoha 11 + Sasuke and sends them off on an adventure to check it out. Having the group back together again is totally weird, but much more exciting than anything else going on. The group travels the seas in search of a new potential villain, while also dealing with the repercussions of the past war. Things have changed since they were young, and moving on from them is the bravest thing they can do. Also- Naruto has a major epiphany about someone.

Naruto: Black Fox of Konoha (Discontinue and Rewriten) by MaddogMurdock_son
6 parts Complete Mature
I don't own Naruto or it's characters. This fanfic will not follow the cannon. At the age 4 Naruto Uzumaki was brutally attacked by mob and left to die. The attack however did not kill him just nearly made him blind. Naruto ends meets up meeting the Kyuubi but instead of the evil monster he expected he meets the one he grows to see like a father. The night of the attack he learns of his heritages and is trained under Kyuubi. To many believe he is the dead-last weak loser with no family but secretly he is a badass and a genius who be considered a prodigy among prodigies. Only few knows the truth of Naruto for now in time others will learn he is a force to be recked with. He keeps his skills close to the vest as he can but secrets don't stay secrets forever. One things for sure the black fox of Konoha is force to be recked with. Special Abmu black op squad member Captian code name: Black Fox was an SS-Rank ninja with a flee when sighted warning in the bingo book. None of his targets escaped once he decided or is order to kill them. No one besides select few knows his true identity or looks all they have to identify him were his blue sharingan eyes and black fox mask. No one knew that the one feared by the five great nations was none other than Naruto Uzumaki-Namikazi-Senju. Naruto was about to embark on his most frustrating mission yet. Hiruzen Sarutobi the third Hokage wanted Naruto to make friends his own so he makes him go to the academy and makes him be part of a gennin squad. He hoped that by doing this Naruto learn that their are important things in life besides compling missions. Of course this mission there's condition from both sides. What if Naruto wasn't on team 7? What if Naruto still had family alive? What if he had a harem? What if certain people were alive/didn't die? What if Naruto was trained by itachi? What if Naruto had shinsui eyes were transplanted into Naruto? What if certain people were genderbend? What if Naruto was a seal master?

Then they are sent on a mission to the Land of Winter to discover who is stealing medical supplies and killing off medical ninjas. As they all discover who each other really is, Sasuke uncovers some feeling he's never felt before and Naruto starts to see his friends in new ways. Strictly SasuSaku and minor NaruHina. First story please be nice. Comments and votes are welcome :) and I don't own anything!
