One of my first manga/anime loves. You can't go wrong with Naruto. In my heart, the characters are worn thin like an old blanket.

Fanfiction is an Art Form.

Reverse, by blackkat

"To make a tragedy, you break something beautiful and frame the pieces. To make a victory, you break something mighty and rebuild it piece by piece. To make a life, you glue the pieces together and hope for the best. Kurama's still getting the hang of this ‘human’ thing, but given that he’s 30 years back in time with catastrophes to prevent and a blond brat to save, he’ll have to figure things out on the fly. Luckily, living with Naruto's been good for his ability to improvise, if nothing else."

This is a masterpiece. It's basically a re-write of Naruto, with some important changes, and it's killer. Now this is a longer fic, coming in at 386,632 words, but remember it's a complete retelling. It's got a lot of shit to cover.

Backslide, by blackkat

"Naruto’s friends are gone, his lover is dying, Konoha is destroyed, and Madara’s second return has pushed the entire world to the brink. Hunted and harried, Naruto is sent back in time to upend Madara’s plan before it even starts, and sets about changing everything. Butterfly effect nothing: the world is at stake, and Naruto is hardly about to let it fall to ruin once more. Not while he’s still breathing."

This one's a time-travel fix it fic, that once again retells the store, with some major changes. It's so good. So good. I literally downloaded this as an ebook, a reread it like once a year. And I've done this since it was originally posted back in 2014. We're going on 10 years with this fic. It's only 128,352, if you're familiar with Naruto give it a read!
