Naruto was always known as the "dead last" and the idiot of his graduating shinobi class at the academy. What happens when his masks starts to slip and reveals the truth? What happens when nobody notices what's really going on? What happens when a certain shadow-user does? Will he be able to stop Naruto in time to save him?

The meeting of three orphan genin, a fucked up jounin, and a bucket load of trauma. What else would they have done? Stayed in hell or take up a very dangerous opportunity. Introducing 'Team 7 Gone Rouge'

At eleven, Naruto is loud, stubborn, and full of fire-but when no one's looking, he's just a tired little boy with too much silence in his heart. After Kakashi finds him crying alone, a quiet unraveling begins: skipped meals, strange pills, and sleepless nights. And slowly, with no grand declarations or magic jutsu, Kakashi does the one thing no one ever had-he stays. A soft, slow-burn tale of comfort, found family, and the healing that starts when someone finally notices. I don't own anything except my laptop, brain, Idea, and the story.

Naruto dies almost... three times, Kakashi isn't about to give up on his student And ya, in case you were doubtful, I own nothing. Except my laptop brain and idea and this story.

Naruto, orphaned in the wake of the Kyuubi's wrath, was marked by the village as a monster. No mentor extended a hand; no peer stood by his side. As others played, he lingered in the shadows, craving the warmth of recognition. His pranks, his laughter, all mere echoes of a desperate heart reaching for fleeting glances. Sasuke lived under the same roof as his family, yet his existence was a shadow of another's brilliance. Itachi-the golden son, the perfect shinobi. Sasuke was forever in his wake. "It's Itachi's brother," they whispered, "Why can't you be like him?" The words burrowed deep, seeping into his soul. Sakura, born to a civilian family, rejected the path laid before her. When she defied the role of a dutiful bride and aspiring kunoichi, her parents' love twisted into cruelty. The bruises were not just on her skin but in her spirit. Bullied for her looks, she wondered if anyone would ever see her true beauty. Bound by shared pain and unspoken dreams, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura turned their backs on the village. They swore to return, but only when they had become the warriors they were meant to be, and to gain the respect they always deserved

It hurt... It hurt so very much, but he lived through it. There wasn't supposed to be a way to survive, yet here he stood, breathing, his heartbeat loud in his ears, gazing up at the gates of Konoha that should have been destroyed long ago. The people behind that gate shouldn't exist and most importantly, he shouldn't be here. Sasuke had done this to him; it was a last attempt so save his life at the cost of his borther's. Naruto hadn't wanted that. He would have gladly died alongside everyone else. Now he was here again, at the start of his hell and the only place he could ever consider home, Konoha

Naruto has seen it all. War, death, loss, pain. He's been through more than enough, but Kurama won't let his kit end like this. So, back to the past he goes. (can be found on other sites- now with a sequel! 'The ripples of time' is where you can find more Aki!)

It's the usual... Naruto is a genius, a prodigy like his father. From a young age he knew to hide this fact, the villagers already think he's a monster, there was no use adding to their rumors. Although, his talents are well known within the ranks of Konoha's elite shinobi. Private session's with high ranking jonin get him pretty far and personal training is as brutal as you expect when it comes from a 1000+ nine tails beast. ****I do not own any of these characters or art pieces. Some of the storyline will be mine and other parts will be based on the original material***

Naruto Hatake, the son of Kakashi and his mother is unknown. He's very much like his father, sarcastic, funny, but most of all, mysterious, with his mask always on his face doesn't help with that fact either. Follow as Naruto faces hardships and inner conflict as he must face many dangerous enemies if he must protect the ones he loves. Get ready, the story of Naruto Hatake begins! Don't own cover. Don't own Naruto...yet.
