Our so-called reality is a funny thing. Sometimes you know every secret and sometimes you just don't. Sometimes it's painfully obvious and other times you won't see it at all. Naruto Uzumaki. Known as the troublemaker of Konoha and Demon Child, dead last in everything and no good in whatever he does. But is that the real Naruto or is it all just a trick thought up by a mere child?

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.

Three years had passed after Naruto Uzumaki left the village with his teacher. Being the Jinchuuriki of the demon fox, he has been Akatsuki's target for a long, long time. Ever since the day he left, the Akatsuki have not come to the village; it was too silent. A mysterious man with his identity hidden came in the village and he was considered a threat to the shinobi around. After revealing himself, the shinobi were shocked to find out that he was the blonde idiot from years ago. He sure wasn't the old Naruto that they knew, but his new look, power and personality captured the people's attention. But was this truly the same blonde kid they had known for many years? Something was indeed different about him. What was this new change? Has Naruto come as a friend or as a foe? *Credits to the owner of the cover photo.

Left by his "precious people" and imprisoned by the very village he swore to protect. He will no longer take their abuse. Naruto Uzumaki will finally leave his true prison and start living again. What could go wrong when a free man is wanted back after betraying him? I do not own any of the characters used in my story. Some may be OC while those that aren't are not made by me but their respectful owners.

Naruto gets banished after he returns Sasuke to Konoha. His friends betray him and he is forced to leave and never come back, not that he would want to anyways... Naruto goes on a quest to become the strongest ninja in history, and during his voyage he makes friends and foes, both dangerous and good. A new enemy arises from the shadows, and wants to end Naruto's life. Will Naruto be able to defeat him, and will he make his new dream a reality? *I adopted this story, I recommend going to the original writer and read the first chapters* The original story and idea belong to @JTheFireLord the original writer

When a clan with blood relations to the Senju arrive in Konoha, the ninja and civilians are all excited. The Senju were regarded as close to royal with the famed clan which used to reside in Uzushiogakure prior to its destruction. With a chance to finally rub shoulders with royalty, people lined the streets just to meet the clan head, Mito Uzumaki, named after the Shodai Hokage's wife, and sister to the deceased Kushina Uzumaki. There were even rumours of a missing clan heir found, the only child of Mito's sister. However, the village is in for a shock, when they realise that the Uzumaki clan of Uzushiogakure no sato are less than pleased with the Konoha citizens for reasons they do not explain until they find the missing heir.

What if Naruto became a Anbu at a young age, thanks to Kurama's(Kyuubi) help. Becomes Itachi's best friend. Then was put on a Mission to protect Sasuke, undercover. But the big kicker comes when Minato rears his head again. Now Minato must try to be a father figure for his distant ANBU son. Warning Yoai. Itanaru, KakaIru.

The Uzumaki clan isn't extinct, they have been in hiding rebuilding their village and now they are ready to make a grand entrance.

After losing his vision due to events after the war (This is A.U), Naruto is assigned the task of watching over his now blind teacher; however by consistently being close to someone you have a crush on doesn't that make things a little harder to bear?

What if naruto never grew up alone.There was someone there for him. This someone live inside his seal along with the kyuubi. The complete opposite of naruto himself but they were close nevertheless. Let's see how naruto turns out
