Every rational!Naruto fic I encounter keeps topping the preceding ones—I suspect my head will implode if I ever attempt to read the canon story at this point.
The best one yet is The Waves Arisen. Everyone is very sensible, shadow cloning is more broken than ever, and patiently listening to giant slugs pays off in the end.
Rathanel’s The Empty Cage (previously recommended on LW) and OmgImPwned’s In Fire Forged. Can’t remember if the first is finished, the second certainly isn’t.
Waves Arisen is in a class by itself as regards sweet sweet ingroup jargon, however :)

The only other one that springs to mind is the one with the Nine-Brained Kyuubi.
Got any more?
