I've read hundreds of NaruSaku stories on this site and FanFiction.net, plenty of them were good but there were quite a few stinkers. Here I will list the 5 best I've ever read and I encourage those who read this thread to list their own.

1.) Training For The Job (Though unfinished and lacking in updates it's very well written and engaging)
2.) Experiments (What was once a pesudo-yuri one-shot became a great multi-chapter story)
3.) You're Never Alone (Something I can actually see happening in the manga)
4.) A Different Sort Of Naruto (Even though it looks like the story is now gonna be NaruSakuIno)
5.) Troika Parallel (Despite my misgivings about the unnecessary cross-overs it was well written and had a great finale and you can't go wrong with fluff)

(Not necessarily in order. All on FF.net)

1) Moving On by Michiru's Mirror
2) Secret by Ceres Gala
3) Subliminal by WeLcOmE2pArAdIsE (SasuSaku, NaruSaku)
4)The Light That Guides Us by Sharingank
5)Harumonia by psychedelic aya (SasuSaku, subtle SakuNaru. Makes me cry every time. T-T)

1. Garden of Sanctuary - Nes Mikel
2. Something or Other - Geno Calamari
3. Icha Icha Fantasy - DigiFruit
4. Surrender - A. Pikachu
5. Seduce my Wife! - Doc Destructo

...I'm a one-shot whore. :DDD

Hands of destiny

12 Days of Christmas - ms Soupy

Training for the job

A Souls Salvation

Solstice/equinox, and its companion piece Summer heat - Dasdeke

Solstice/Equinox - Dasdeke

Soltice/Equinox Summer heat - dasdeke

Too much to ask for links?

1. Seduce my Wife! - Doc Destructo
2. Something or Other - Geno Calamari (one of my very favs)
3. Ridding Me of You- boyarina
4. Perplexity- Lemon Drops
5. Full Bloom/Strong Enough- Random 1377

Its funny I had to strain to think about getting 5, because imo there haven't been many well-written Naru/Saku stories that I actually enjoy.

...Including the ones everyone has mentioned so far.

Added some links to mine ==

I don't suppose anybody know the author of Ridding Me of You by boyarina?

1) Hands of Destiny
2) Broken Promises
3) Death Before Dishonor: Interlude
4) Icha Icha Fantasy
5) The Cherry Blossom Blooms Twice

Most of my favorites are M-Rated and has lemons

I wrote the single best most awesome Naruto/Sakura lemon fanfic ever. Kakow.

Sakura Shippuden by Chaozu tao

Naruto Shippuden: kissing the wind By High Speed

I've had it by Ed Kun

His healing words By That Reeves girl

Everything by... uh i don't remember the author

Nps Dase any time, you wrote one of my favorite stories and the summer heat side chapter is sizzling hot.

Heck I may as well take a moment and pimp my own so to speak.

In your eyes which is currently on chapter 3, and In your arms that began it.

check em out their here and on DA

I would say the NaruSaku fanfics written by Miss Soupy on FF.net!!

I can't even think of 5 off the top of my head, but my absolute favorite is Something or Other by Geno Calamari. One of the only Naruto fics I've ever reread, and I've reread it more than once.


I also really like desaix's Training for the Job, and Doc Destructo's Seduce My Wife. I reread each of those once, too.

lol theres over 4500 pages of different stories. anyone think they can post links to all these different stories?

lol. I have read so many NaruSaku stories and most of them are really good! I guess I would have to say: Experements by Shivakashi and A Soul's Salvation by Lady Kogawolf are my top favorites and the only two I can remember right off the bat.

A Soul's Salvation
Gardens of Rain
Too Late For Love
Solstice Equinox Summer Heat
Catching a Cherry Blossom

In no particular order.

1 ] Naruto : Hands Of Destiny Terra Of Genesis ..

2 ] Ourselves By weixuan18..

3 ] A Soul's Salvation By Lady Kogawolf..

4 ] Human Contact By yooso ..

5 ] For He So Loved The World By solidflamez..

that is my recent list ...since i keep reading but i don't want to replace too much ...Also there is much more but i wrote what i read or reread recently..

Hmm, off the top of my head:
1) The Final Steps by Kodachi Claws. That is just great, with amazing plot and fight scenes, as well as the emotion.
2) Team Sharingan by EroSlackerMicha. This showed a unique plot, strong connection and realistic circumstances.
3) Gone by Hefster.
4) Looks Can Be Decieving by Hefster. Both of the above hava amazing plots, brilliant writing and such. 4) was incredibly well done, and the relationship they share is exellent. If you can avoid ripping your hair out and throwing your computer out the window for a few chapters, it pulls through and becomes great. My obsession with NaruSaku made it really hard to read this one.
5) A Fine Fine Line AND A Fine Line Between Us by Heart on a Sword. The best first person fics I've ever seen, showing great character interpretation and understanding. A good read through and through.

That was REALLY hard to do. I really wanted to put in Whirlpool Country and such, but only five. So many gems out there, I just find it hard to pick five.

I totally agree. There are so many stories that I really like it would be difficult to pick just five. So...I'm gonna cheat

Well, it'll still be within the spirit of the topic...just a little more specific

Top 5 Favorite Completed NaruSaku stories:
(in no paritcular order)
- Naruto: Hands of Destiny by Terra of Genesis (One of the first epic length NaruSaku fics I read and it left a lasting impression on me)

- Naruto Shippuden: Kissing the Wind by Highspeed0516 (At the time it was written before Naruto discovered Jiraiya's demise in canon and I think it was a really good vision of how it could have gone)

- Experiments by Shivakashi (I thought that the evolution of Sakura's feelings was done quite nicely)

- Troika Parallel by Shivakashi (The sequel of sorts to Experiments and a cross over with Harry Potter and Inuyasha. I had never read any of the HP books and had seen a handful of episodes of Inuyasha. However, it was written in a way that was it easy to follow the back story and I thought it was an amazing adventure.)

- Koorikage by Illjwamh (This is seriously an under appreciated story. It doesn't focus on NaruSaku but is written in a way that shows that they do care deeply for eachother. The romance is subdued but it definitely works.)


Top 5 Favorite One-shot NaruSaku stories:
(in no particular order)
- The Best Dates are the Cheap Ones by Shivakashi (There are a lot of fics that show Sakura realizing her feelings for Naruto through jealousy. However, this one does it in such a way that shows that the things she normally takes for granted with Naruto are actually the things that she prefers. Oh and the NaruIno friendship moments are hilarious.)

- Ourselves by weixuan18 (I think this is probably the longest one-shot I've encountered. Written in the first person, it shows the type of devotion Sakura has for Naruto.)

- Moonlight Sonata by DigiFruit (I thought this was beautifully written and the narrative of the music could let me feel the emotions they were supposed to evoke - almost as if I was actually listening to the pieces.)

- How Many Words does a Picture Say? by sharingank (This short little one shot is just so NaruSaku.)

- Do You Remember Love by DigiFruit (All of DigiFruit's one-shots are worth the read but this one has a unique storyline and takes elements of all of his previous stories that result in a very romantic piece.)


Top 5 Favorite In-Progress NaruSaku stories:
in no particular order
- Shinobi Wars by Illjwamh (The sequel to Koorikage, this story is quite action packed covering the Fourth Great Shinobi War. Again the focus isn't strictly NaruSaku but instead their growth together as ninjas during a tumultuous period. During that dry spell in the manga that most of us refer to as the Sasuke/Itachi arc, this story helped greatly with keeping me sane.)

- Precious People by Peanutbutter126 (I had a tough time choosing between her two current NaruSaku multi-chapter stories. This one edged out as I just love the development between Naruto and Sakura.)

- Training for the Job by Desaix (A must read for any NaruSaku fan.)

- Mizukage by Dragon6 (The NaruSaku aspects are not immediately obvious, but the story is well written and has a lot of action. Another story set amidst a Fourth Great Shinobi War, we get see Naruto at the helm of another village and watch as his priorities of protecting those precious to him are put to the test.)

- Whirlpool Country by Paradox Jast (More so than anything, this story is about Naruto discovering his roots and how he grows along this journey. To ensure he remains grounded, Sakura is there by his side every step of the way. I can easily see this one making my ultimate top 5 once it's completed.)

Even though I cheated, I still left out a lot of worthy fics. Bah...I suck.

Also anything written by Digifruit has to be read, his charactorisation is simply amazing, also same with Denim88.
