    Might Guy trades Neji and Tenten to take Naruto and Hinata on his team. Can he take this group of misfits and turn them into a team of geniuses...or will he be forced to give up wearing spandex forever? Naruhina LeexAyame


    I remember this being fairly decent.

    edit: Oops, there was a 24th page I didnt see.

    Blast from the past. Team 8 just updated but I'm not sure I'd still call it a quality fic.
    Link.

    Team 8... is meh tbh :/ The writing is good but it just gets sooooo mushy, and Kurenai fighting S Class Ninjas/Talking down to them pissed me off.

    ...Didn't she get killed? Evens out, I would think.

    Though I lost interest in Team 8 before that confrontation came about anyway.

    Team 8 is not a story that has aged well. It uses too many outdated and just dumb Naruto tropes, with the occasional inclusion of something too silly to take seriously, that it just isn't that much fun.

    Stuff like unrepentantly-evil-douchebag-Hiashi, moral-highground-Naruto, jerk-Sasuke and so on. Iruka bankrupting Hyuuga elders because they bet so much on Neji, since it is impossible for a Hyuuga to lose, was just stupid. In a world full with S-rank, the Hyuuga are not even a blip on the radar. Konoha alone has 3-4 people who could pull an Itachi on the Hyuuga clan, so, that kind of arrogance in that world just doesn't make any sense. They would never have survived for that long.

    I mean, it was fun with the team-bonding and all, but, overall, despite its hype, not one of the top Naruto stories. Guess it still is a quality story of sorts, but meh.

    Team 8 was my shit back in the day...now, I can't even bring myself to pick it back up. Also, actual bad guy Itachi sorta just ruins it for me.

    Itachi was much cooler when he was just psychotic killer who slaughtered Uchiha clan to test his capacity. Always liked that.

    Unfortunately, Kishi ruined everything.

    I mean, I really have no problem with bad guy Itachi...just like, OP probably went that route because he thought Itachi was a bad guy at that point in the canon story...it's just these little things that ruin stories for me. Like stories with Naruto's parentage before we knew for a fact who his parents were (i.e classic Arashi)

    *sigh* :colbert:
    Ill break out the list, give me a minute.

    He Had No Fingers - Standard Naruhorror link 1.

    Dancing With Demons - See above.

    People Lie - Tekeli-li

    Anything and Everything - Same author as People Lie, Hanabi centric.

    Nine Tailed Serpent - Warning, I have no idea if this has aged well; haven't read it in years.

    The Ghost and the Darkness - different name, same author as Dancing with demons.

    Houses Of the Holy

    Wild World

    Lost Soul - Its absolute shit, I cannot stress that enough, but tis exactly what you asked for and is well liked on FFnet for whatever reason.

    A Teachers Glory One of the better "Team Seven gets mauled by Anko" fics.

    Tis Femina I don't particularly like this one, but I suppose it counts as a psycho!Naruto

    Book of Naruto Its crack, and possibly about as far from your criteria as it gets, but its a necessity.

    Mating Frenzy See above. Ancient, but not absolutely horrible from what I remember.

    Naruto Genkyouien Im not going to grace this one with a summary.

    Spying no Jutsu Its ancient. Its crack.


    Ask and ye shall receive.

    Willing to guarantee that all of these have been listed at some point or another.

    Ill continue to add others as I remember them.

    Why are you linking stories that you don't know if they're good or not in the Quality thread?

    Nine Tailed Serpent has always been one of my favorites...so sad it was discontinued. Houses of the Holy was pretty sick too.

    I don't think this has been mentioned, since I haven't seen it once in all these months of lurking about the forums. I've been hooked on SAO (Sword Art Online) for a while and have been on a bit of a quest to find a decent crossover with Naruto. I've found one worthy of any attention and damn is it wonderful. Honestly, I can't even put it into words.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8555103/1/The-Hunter

    Summary: A certain blonde that isn't very good with staying within the rules, a wild card; the Joker. A black haired swordsman that hides a checkered past and fears underneath his black cloak. A girl that is just looking for a way out of the prison named AINCRAD joins them on a journey with their lives in the balance. SAO, a reality that is defined by one's sword.

    Honestly, I don't really know how to describe it. The Naruto in the fic feels like Naruto and yet doesn't at the same time. The pacing is a bit slow, as the plot has only made it through the first 25 Floors of AINCRAD. However, the character development, interactions, and side-plots all make up for it in the long run, providing a fresh, realistic, and enjoyable tale of life in SAO.

    There's usage of a character or two from a different universe, but they definitely don't detract from the story and might as well be OC's in my opinion. The quality of the writing is superb IMO but there are times when it gets a little dull.

    Really, that was a shitty analysis of this story but honestly, it's probably the single-best Naruto/SAO crossover out there and is an excellent read. You all may or may not agree, but if you read, you (hopefully) won't be disappointed.
