Help Wanted! Looking for Naruto fanfic

I'm looking for some general Naruto fanfics. The more fanon in them the better, and it would be nice if they were more or less semi-recognized.

It's better if they have 1k reviews or more, but stories with 100~500 reviews on FFN are also fine so long as there's enough material in them.

Generally speaking older Naruto fanfiction is best for this.

Can you guys help me?

 

Um, ok. Any specifics beyond that?

Scorpion's Disciple by Nobody102 - 2325 Reviewers, Published 2009

The premise is fairly out there. Sasori after loosing almost all his puppets to Orochimaru, decides that perhaps it would be best to play dead, instead of reporting his failure to Pain. To rebuild his strength he hides in Konoha, where he has a run in with Naruto. Deciding that he could be useful he decides to help him get stronger, continuing to hide, while training Naruto.

There are very few "Naruto is trained by an Akatsuki", that I'd call good. Though Nobody manages to pull it of. The strongest part is the character development. Naruto still seems largely like Naruto and the movement away from that flows naturally from Sasori's influence and from the people around him. It is also a fanfiction that makes getting stronger feel earned. And throws an unexpected curve ball once in a while.


Echoes by Kagaseo - 2338 Reviews, Published 2011

Naruto gains the ability to travel to different alternate realities. Sending him on a journey across different Naruto AUs, while picking up companions along the way. Seemed somewhat steeped in bad Fannon, though it does do interesting things with it as it gets discovered further through the different alternate worlds. People die.

The Art of the deal by Case13 - 1239 Reviews, Published 2007

Naruto is largely crippled in his ability to use chakra. So he becomes a successful business man. It's kind of removed from the usual setting, as far as I remember. Though it does interesting things with the premise.

Reincarnation Roulette by Silver Queen - 984 Revews, published 2008

A bunch of One-Shots about different SIs. A lot of interesting ideas that honestly would have deserved full stories.

 

Basically any story that follows the main story from canon, but told in a bad if readable way due to massive amounts of stupid fanon.

You know, mobs, fem kyubi, etc etc etc. I have something in mind right now, but there's not enough chapter for me to look first so I'm trying to find other options.

 

Reaching for a dream by Noodlehammer Fem!Kyuubi that railed a different path than most of the others. Grammar is decent, the story plot is something definitely new, or rather different. Naruto is few years older, crime boss, Casanova, more Uzumaki than the canon version of himself, musclebound, seal master, more ruthless and at one point afterwards he has as much as chakra as Gonbi compressed into his tiny human body. Oh, here is the kicker, he couldn't care less about the hokage position.
