Summary
Itachi had started his day off with a simple breakfast and tea set at a local Ryokan. Followed with a leisurely stroll through the neighbouring forest, enjoying what little peace he could find before the inevitable mess of working for Akatsuki came for him. Finding a nice hiding spot deep in the shadows and alleyways in the small town his targets had rested was all too easy – something that should have given him pause. Because Jiraiya was a sannin and nothing escaped his senses. Maybe it had been too good to be true. Maybe it was wrong for him to wish on an easy mission.
And how true that had been, Itachi seethed.
Right now, Uzumaki Naruto had more to worry about than just having the Akatsuki after her bijuu. Now she had Itachi solely gunning for her with a single-minded focus.
Once he was able to face the outside world again in his new…body.

Summary
It’s a child, hair red as blood but not matted with it, with a character stamped in the same color on his porcelain forehead.
Desert spirit, he thinks, mouth suddenly dry.
“Which way to Suna,” It says.

Summary
Inoichi’s decision to adopt the boy was a spur of the moment thing, but he stood by it, and he could not be prouder of both his children, even if they lived to give him grey hair.
Or, how a Yamanaka-trained Naruto went and cheerfully dismantled the last shreds of Sasuke’s self-image because conventional therapy obviously wasn’t working well enough, and then proved that even the best minds could be entirely dumb when it came to romance.

Summary
The smallest change can make the biggest difference.
In one universe, Naruto took after his father, and the citizens of Konohagakure thought it a cruel joke that the Kyuubi container mocked the image of the Yondaime. In this universe, Naruto was born with Uzumaki red hair, and they thought him the very embodiment of the demon fox.
With a different upbringing until he was five as a result, the ripple effect of this change will reverberate across the continent.
-----
Feat. Fuuinjutsu Master Naruto, Fox Summons, Genma-sensei, and a butterfly effect of massive proportions.

Summary
With Danzō in control of Konoha and in control of anyone who would oppose him, dark days are ahead for the entire shinobi world. It might come down to Konoha's enemies and its very own set of missing nin to rise against Danzō's cruel reign and set all of his victims free.
While Naruto and the Sannin are on the hunt for allies in other villages and Sasuke, Itachi and Iruka are slowly taking over Akatsuki from the inside, war is brewing and friends might turn into enemies in a blink of an eye - and enemies might turn into friends, just as well.
Part II and the conclusion of Reason To Start Over New (must read before getting into this one) \o/
