When Naruto comes home early one evening, the last thing he expects is to find Hinata in the arms of someone else. Shattered and betrayed, he flees the house without a word, heart in pieces and mind spiraling. There's only one place he can go-only one person he knows will understand the storm raging inside him. Shikamaru. Naruto's most loyal friend, his constant, his quiet strength. But when Naruto shows up at the office in tears, Shikamaru immediately knows something is deeply wrong. What he doesn't expect is for Naruto's heartbreak to come with devastating news that will change everything. As emotions rise and truths unravel, bonds are tested, and hidden feelings begin to surface. In the midst of betrayal and broken promises, can comfort turn into something deeper? Can love bloom from pain?

Minato and Kushina are alive with 3 children; Menma, Mito and Naruto. The 3rd Hokage sealed the Nine Tail Fox in Naruto, and Kami sealed the 3rd Hokage in Naruto too. 4 years later, Naruto is beaten up by the villagers, neglected by his parents and bullied by his siblings. That all changes when the 3 Sannin takes Naruto out of the village. What happens? Will he return? Will he forgive the village?

AU from tumblr: "Naruto, my entire clan's been turned into deer! Stop laughing!"

They did it. They had won, but at a big cost, everyone was gone. This left it up to a blonde and Nine Tailed Beasts to fix it. All the while Shikamaru and The Third Hokage try and figure out what's going on with our favorite blonde. (I don't own Naruto or any of the characters Masashi Kishimoto does) ( I also don't own any of the pictures or the cover)

An incident occurs, to which Shikamaru stumbles across our favourite blonde, but not the one the Nara thought he knew. This Naruto has been hidden from the world. Hiding beneath the mask that is the no.1 knuckle headed ninja. How the brunette never realised it, was beyond him. Now, how will he stop the blonde from falling apart? This will be... Troublesome.

A Naruto fanfiction. After a mission together, Naruto and Shikamaru can't get their minds off one another, but with their current workload, they continue to just miss each other, and aren't actually able to work anything out. Or, everyone else figures out that they're in love before they do. The main pairing is ShikaNaru, with appearances from ShikaNaru, LeeIno, SasuSaku, and NejiHina, very slight GaiKaka.

Naruto and Shikamaru have feelings for each other, but neither can confess. What happens when Temari comes into the equation and wants to marry shikamaru? What happens if Sasuke is now in the way too? - Disclaimer: -first fanfic, sorry if it's bad -this was a fanfic but I deleted all the parts off the old one and decided to rewrite it. - I do not own Naruto in any way

Edit: I created the new picture for the story. *still going* A few things to note: 1. This is a omegaverse (Naruto is bottom :3) 2. The story takes place when the rookie nine are still in school. 3. In this story the Uchiha (hope I spelled it right) massacure didn't happen, but Sasuke is still a jerk. 4. The 9 tails, Kurama is also nice to Naruto in this fanfic. 5. I don't own the anime or any characters in it. Now to the prologue! Ever since Naruto was little, he had been beat everyday. By villagers who blamed him for the attack on the village 12 years ago. But he still smiled through it all. Until one day the 3rd hokage let Naruto go to the academy. Kurama knows Naruto will meet his mate here, but who?
