Accidental Companions by Windschild8178
- Recommended by LadyVenamisa
- Synopsis: Basically, Kakashi goes away on a five week mission, and Team 7 looks after three of his dogs. Guruko happens to be the dog Naruto looks after. As the two form a friendship, Guruko learns that there is another side to Naruto. This is a very dark fic at times, so go in expecting the worst! Saying anything else will ruin it!
And So, I Wait by Gaming Ikari
- Recommended by lanky
- Pairing: Naruto/Tayuya (implied)
- Synopsis: Tayuya crawls away from her battle with Shikamaru and Temari and winds up crippled and bitter in the strangely compassionate care of a woman in Konoha. There, the only thing stopping her from sending a letter which could doom the town is a chance encounter with Naruto.

- Synopsis: Naruto and Jiraiya trained together for years, a bond of sensei and student. This is a collection of moments displaying that bond.

Death of a Kage Bunshin by Foxie-Sama
- Recommended by James the Fox
- Synopsis: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu was perfect in every way and form. It is only the human element of it that is inherently flawed.
- Recommended by Awika
- Synopsis: "As he held the still and small body in his hands, he shattered." Saying anything further would spoil this provocative and emotional one-shot story. I would also suggest that you have tissues handy.

He learns a good deal about the seals (yes, plural.) placed on him, and finds out he isn't quite who he thought he was. Things only begin to get more awesome from there. He inherits the Yondaime's estate, begins training under the Kyuubi directly, and becomes generally made of win.

The Hidden Life of Morino Ibiki by Illegitimi
- Recommended by Friendsheyho
- Pairings: Ibiki x OC
- Synopsis: "How Life, Art, and Morino Ibiki all came together in one single tapestry of fate." A touching, deep look into one of the series' most undervalued characters. The author manages to include many OCs in a believable way, and although the story is over 100 chapters, I'm still hooked.

Tsunade is still in a coma, so the Leader of the Land of Fire appoints a new Hokage, who is none other than Naruto (after some arguments from Danzo). Now Naruto must pull himself together, make tough decisions mostly regarding Sasuke who is now being treated as a criminal, fight furious battles, and protect his village (and the world) from Madara's (and possibly Sasuke's) wrath.

Unfortunately, he returns to the village after an ongoing three-year mission to find that Sakura (who had no knowledge of his plans) has been won over by a lord of Lightning Country and is engaged to him to be married. It's an inconvenience all right, but if we know our favorite sensei, it isn't going to stop him. And Sakura meanwhile is keeping some secrets of her own....
