For those who wanted the Chicken Chapter from The Consequences of Drunken Experiments to become its own story. Things go off into left field and the Uchiha Massacre gets derailed when the giant chicken that an intoxicated Orochimaru created escapes and a young Naruto finds it.

If you have ridiculous chakra reserves, a forbidden technique that enables brute force training, and an insatiable appetite for epic skills, what are the chances that you'll settle for mediocrity? A bit of insanity is a small price to pay for being awesome.

Naruto's always had big dreams, but unbeknownst to him he's heir to a legacy that dwarfs all of them. Sometimes all it takes is the beat of a butterfly's wings to put you on the path to greatness. With some luck, some help, and a whole lot of hard work, Naruto is going to make the name Uzumaki something to be respected once more. Naru/Haku, probably multi later on.

What are the odds that giving someone a gift would end up cascading into THIS kind of reaction? Probably pretty low... But this way is funnier.

The Villages have a purpose now, joined together by Akatsuki's war game can they come together and do what's necessary. One year to prepare and then open season begins. The question remains, who's downfall will come first.

There's something to be said for keeping the past as it was - makes it predictable, malleable. Naruto never bought those arguments. He's always been the one to power through adversity rather than wait it out, so why would now be any different? He'll do what has to be done, even if he steps on a few butterflies along the way.

Gin has been collecting stories, pranks, and jokes in his notebook. He's given it to Orihime to pass away the time in Hueco Mundo. T rating just in case, I will be adding lots.

Not every idea Orochimaru ever had was bad. When one of his mothballed programs gets refreshed by the Third how will the world change for Team 7 when they are given brutally honest evaluations of their skills, personalities and potentials.

or 'Adventures in the Worst Afterlife EVER', because Ace sure didn't sign up for this s***. What happened to eternal peace? Or more importantly, his hat? (In which Ace is a time-traveling ghost, his younger self is unimpressed, Sabo is alive and Luffy is stupid.)

Eight years after the beginning of the invasion, Japan is still steadfastly at war with its Britannian invaders thanks to the skilful leadership of Genbu Kururugi and the skills of a pair of boys with the potential to turn the war around.

When planet Vegeta is destroyed, the saiyan child Kakarot is sent to planet Yardrat instead of Earth. Meanwhile, King Cold assigns the Ginyu Force a mission-take out Frieza! Co-author project between me and NinjaGin87. (Cancelled due to personal issues in his life. Thanks for understanding.)

A collection of omake, crossovers, random ideas, and anything else that insists that it be written. First chapter serves as the ToC.

Most Hidden Villages have a person assigned to take care of their jinchuuriki. Konoha doesn't. Why? Maybe there's a reason.

Golden Week has arrived! While the rest of the SOS Brigade makes plans, Kyon is forced to go to a family reunion far out in the country - so Haruhi gives him an assignment: learning about lucid dreaming. Surely nothing unusual could come of that...

A man declared his message to the world. "I am the one who will establish peace and order." The man faced pain and survived. The man died and was resurrected. He was both Uzumaki Naruto and Rikudō Sennin.

Diplomacy had never been Uzumaki Naruto's specialty. Nevertheless, extreme circumstances force him to lead a team of five overseas in order to find out what lies beyond their home. He could only hope it was more peaceful than the last 10 years of their lives...

Its secrets have been lost for years. But now, the true story of Naruto has finally emerged! It's time to show you what really happened in the Naruto storyline! Rated T for General Randomness.

An insane, illogical journey into Harry Potter's first year of Hogwarts. Parody of Book 1. Rated T for language.

Dimensional Magic has always been a thing of uncertainty. It always manages to do things at the most inconvenient of times. This time, dimensional magic has interfered with the climax of the Fourth Great Shinobi War. A rewrite of Crossing the River Gates.

A young Mizuki meets a dimension hopper who saves him during an escort mission gone bad.

Due to an unfortunate choice of words, Madara gets a little stalker before the Massacre.

A tale that has yet to be told, but waiting realization. If the main characters can get there, that is. The sequel to Fourth Wall! Kind of . . .

We all know anime/manga Naruto's known as an idiot. Now, how about something different? Let's give him a new quirk, shall we? What about a REALLY ramen obsessed Naruto? A super-negative-emo Naruto? A Kakashi-must-die Naruto? Each chap, different quirk.

It began so simply. The 11th Division lost their barracks, and decided to move next door to bunk with the 10th Division. Surely such an ordinary beginning couldn't draw the entire Soul Society down into an ever-escalating spiral of chaos. Right?

Unfinished plot-bunnies that have lost their inspiration for continuance roam free here. See one you like? Why not give it a nice home, because Lord knows I'll never get around to finishing them.

Naruto makes a good shinobi, but a lousy weapon. Danzo has finally managed to connive Naruto into Root, or so he believes. Naruto, who will now be within reach of his emotionally inept, traumatized, fanatical devotees. What on earth was he thinking?

Lelouch was quite prepared to die, consigned to going down in history as the Demon Emperor, the target of the world's misery. He wasn't prepared to start over from the begining. LelouchxHarem. Rated T for now.

You know, maybe there was a good reason why Naruto didn't learn Hiraishin no Jutsu during the time-skip...

AU. Use brains, not brawn. Observation and deduction is how you stay ahead. Go further than anyone on the path of ninja or to leave it completely. To build yourself a name even when bereft of a village. Naruto is based on Sherlock Holmes, not a crossover.

Shinji finds himself without his memories. Surely though the people around him won't try to take advantage... right?

LightningHunter's Parody of fics we hate. Parody of badly written fics, high school fics, selfinserts, male pregnancies, people who can't write summaries, and unoriginality. Mrated for a lot of language. Chapter 2! Also features LightningHunter's flames!

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

AU. On the night Naruto learns he is the container for the Kyuubi, Mizuki tells him another of Konoha’s secrets.

They've been there. They've done that. And they didn't even get a shirt to prove it. Reload - because sometimes things are just as they seem to be, and at times they are even more.

At Naruto's death, a Shinigami arrived to ensure that the Kyuubi was properly withdrawn and sent to hell. Of course, this being Naruto, it doesn't go as planned. NarutoBleach Crossover.

A very different Shinji comes to Tokyo III.

All Hyuuga are proud. Neji measures his pride differently. First in 'Matters, Secrets, and Times.'
