    You mean The Uzumaki's Peace? That's by Inert, a writer who uses the WbA in this very forum. He made a post two pages ago.

    This the one i referred to, best post series story I ever read.
    It has everything that all other post series stories ignore.
    Naruto finally grown up and matured, while keeping the core traits we loved.

    Hey, this is pretty good. It's an SI but they only have vague memories so it's more of an oc fic. It's an Uchiha raised outside the village, it has good writing quality and the pace seems to be picking up so I figured I should recc it here now. My bad if you all know it already.

    I'm sorry, but the fact that they misspelled World peace as "world piece" in the prologue doesn't do a lot of good for my expectations.

    Looking for fics, in which Jiraiya seriously take Naruto training during the time Skip.

    Another TPK quest, and the spiritual successor to Shed Skin: Heavenly Rotation, a time-travel story featuring Hinata.

    I'm down for a Hinata centric quest but I have to see, even accounting for the circumstances and age and whatever, she doesn't really sound like Hinata at all.

    Any good fics for Naruto-newbs? Meaning I have never watched the anime, maybe a piece or 2 of an episode. Never read the manga either.

    Firstly, I'd just recommend the manga.

    But if not, I'd probably recommend...Life in Konoha's ANBU? It's one of the best in the fandom, starts at around the same point as canon (if with Naruto in an entirely different role) with the first few chapters easing you into things, and it goes out of its way to explain the workings of Konoha (Naruto's home) and the shinobi world itself.

    Or if you want something where Naruto's is closer to his canon self then I'd say Patriot's Dawn. I'm not actually a fan but it's considered a solid fic by many DLPers.

    Definitely try the manga. Part one and even the first chunk of part two are well written, fun stories to follow. It'll give you a good background and, since there are plenty of bits that make little sense (it's Shonen manga after all), an appreciation for the work some authors have put in to really developing their stories.

    I'd third the recommendation for the manga, though I'd go a step further and tell you to just stop reading after Pain dies, as that's where it starts to go full retard. Most everything before that ranges from pretty solid to actually great though, so the manga is definitely a good place to start.

    Though unfortunately it's been way too long since I last read any dedicated Naruto fics, so i can't come up with any decent recs.

    While Agayek is right that thematically the manga climaxed with Pein and then went downhill after that, the rest of the story is still worth reading, both for the cool fights (Itachi/Naruto/Bee vs Nagato, Madara vs the Gokage, Gai vs Madara) as well as for understanding key characters (e.g. Bee, Danzo, Madara) and plot points (e.g. the Madara/Tobi conspiracy) that are only fully revealed later on, and which will likely feature in fanfics.

    To be fair, if you do stop reading after Pain kicks it, then you know enough that literally any bullshit you wanna make up to explain their motivation/plan is better than the canonical plot.

    THW's thread.

    My alert/favourites list for Naruto is depressingly small, to be honest.

    Inert just completed Patriot's Dawn and has been working on Hurricane Suite. Menace recently started Written in Reverse's prequel, Love Sick.

    Outside of DLP, Dreaming of Sunshine is still ticking along, Naruto: Great Clan Days and Better Left Unsaid weren't updated too long ago, andNot Sick will have been completed two years ago tomorrrow.

    Legacy Undone's been getting favourable reviews as well.
