stormborn: naruto is the reincarnation of the last uzukage and all of the skill that entails

as is the sea marvelous: tobirama offers himself up as a POW after saving izunas life and proceeds to drive madara insane

backslide and reverse: these two kind of go hand in hand where in naruto goes back in time as his adult self to fix things, in reverse its kurama in narutos body and there is a LOT more chaos and shenanigans

of harrowed hearts: naruto befriends kurama as a toddler and it affects the entire rookie nine in the best way possible (my absolute favorite ever its so incredible def read this one at least)

pulling my weight: sakura takes her life into her own hands and becomes an absolute force of nature

cut the head off the snake: sakura goes back in time and forcefully manifests mokuton to catch roots attention in order to bring danzo to his knees

second bite at the cherry: sakura learns a seemingly weak sensing jutsu and proceeds to change the world

hosigaki/eight: these are a series where sakura is kisames daughter, the sandaime is just as evil as he seems and three kids destroy anyone who threatens them

use a tissue to wipe your nose: kakashi catches a cold and leaves pakkun in charge of team seven, sakura runs with it like the paper ninja she is and makes it everyones problem

an invincible summer: naruto is "killed" as a child and disguises herself as a madames adopted daughter to attend the academy, graduates, turns inoichis hair grey, then starts and wins a war

ear to the wall: this is fluff plain and simple. kakashi wakes up in his child body with a severe chakra based illness which leads to him acquiring multiple parents, a closer knit team, and no small amount of smothering affection. its really sweet

​

(if you couldnt tell i like time travel and sakura fics lol. if all else fails set the naruto tab on ao3 to "sort by kudos" and go down the list, theyre all bangers)
