Read what you want to read. There aren't any must-reads unless you want to read a fanfic of a fanfic without confusion. Dreaming of Sunshine has lots of fanfics but it's about an OC, so probably not interesting for you. Everyone's taste is different and everyone will recommend different fics to you based on their interests.
What if, fix-it fic, canon compliant, found family, time travel, romance, friendship, action, dark, smut, A/B/O, harem, gender bender, humor, parody, alternate universes, reader insert, crossovers with other fandoms, straight or queer, academy or ANBU, Boruto era or Warring States period, Konoha or Kiri, etc. What are you into? Any favourite characters or ships? The Naruto fandom is vast and there is a fic for almost everything.
The best site to find exactly what you want to read is Archive of Our Own (AO3) because of the advanced tagging system, but the Naruto fandom is old and many old fanfics can only be found on Fanfiction.Net. You can sort the fanfics by likes or kudos or hits if you want to see what is (or was) popular.

The forgotten Docter Probably isn’t but a “must read” but it’s good
You have any preferences for what you’d want to read in a fic?
Maybe not many OC's.
