Scryer went from having 200k+ to 1700 results for fanfiction. Anyway to go back to how it was? Please help thank you

I've got this fic concept that I keep getting stuck on and has spiralled into a jumble of three clashing ideas, I'm not sure how to get past the first chapter.

The concept comes from the Kekkai Genkai fights from the Sasuke Shinden that unveils the Ketsuryūgan.

Where the main character has a potential kekkai genkai and brought to konoha to be 'aqquired' by Danzo. But the Kyuubi attack causes the child to end up lost and stumble across the abandoned Hatake compound to survive feral for some years.

The clashing ideas are as follows;

I realised surviving ferally would be hard so added a isekai aspect in the way of dreams and instincts to better survive and inspire new jutsu ideas.

I'd then taken the idea of making the character work from a disabled perspective, which brought the idea of Orochimaru finding him just after the Kyuubi attack taking them as an experiment, testing on Danzo's behalf the viability of repeated sharingan transplants with Hashirama cells as a healing factor. Hailing from Danzo's arm since they'd needed some tests done before Danzo risked it.

I'm not sure if its the three ideas mixed up that has me stuck, or if trying to write entirely from a blind sensors perspective is doing it.

Thought asking the professionals here may give some perspective or if these concepts arnt things someone would want to read.

Anyhow Ramble done, sorry. Toodleoo

Pretty much what it says on the tin, OC most likely self insert character sent to naruto world was a failed author originaly and makes it big as an author by re writing the older classics in her free time in between missions. It was mentioned she had re written Frankenstein, old man of the sea and a few of Shakespeare's works.

Plot points -

SIOC into an uchiha who is chunnin/jounin at the time of uchiha massacre. SIOC knows the plot so survives using Izanagi then proceeds to collect some Sharingan as well from dead clansmen.
Finds a couple of other mangekyou as well (I remember that one mangekyou had ability to look through another’s eyes if the user can see them). He survives and goes onto become team 7s sensei. He also regularly inserts Senbon dipped in hashirama plants as he’s trying to get his own rinnegan, which he gets eventually.
He also ends up using kotoamatsukami on kisame.

Anyone remember this fic? Think it was on ao3 but not sure. Thanks!!

i think it was an obikaka fanfic, both of them were jounins so kinda like a good!obito tag. it was on ao3.

i can barely recall anything except i think that it was implied that obito had made danzo ‘disappear’ or something because of his plans to put kks in root 😭 i forgot. but any leads would be great <3

I've been brainstorming a crossover between the two and at some point this will be introduced. Can someone try to explain in the easiest way possible how their senjutsu and chakra works and how different they are from each other?

​I am here with a massive, multi-layered theory chain that bridges the biggest plot holes in the Naruto/Boruto universe, solves the mystery of Amado, and gives a profound philosophical meaning to the title of the series itself. When the pieces of the puzzle come together, the resulting picture reveals a tragedy far deeper than the official plot.

​1. The Beginning: The "Original Fruit" and Shibai’s Evolution

​In the very beginning, the universe was not plagued by hundreds of Juubi/Divine Trees. For billions of years since the dawn of the planet, all the pure cosmic energy gathered into a single, singular Divine Tree. The fruit of this tree was 100% pure chakra.

​Shibai’s One-Shot Ascension: The ancient leader of the clan, Shibai, ate this original, undiluted fruit and immediately achieved godhood (the Shinjutsu dimension) due to its sheer scale of power.

​The Clan's Greed and the Great Divide: The other Otsutsuki were mesmerized by Shibai's instant ascension and desired to follow his path. However, all subsequent Divine Trees were merely seeds/offshoots (Ten-Tails) of that first tree, so the fruits they bore never provided that original, god-tier energy. This turned the main clan into ruthless, parasitic conquerors. The peaceful faction that refused to exploit planets stayed behind and was branded by the space-faring selfish clan as the "Branch Family" (the very same one Urashiki mentioned to Toneri).

​2. Who is the Immortal Amado, and the Mystery of the Sealed Third Eye?

​We know Madara managed to survive for decades simply by anchoring himself to the Gedo Mazo (the empty husk of the Ten-Tails), which was a mere copy. Imagine how long someone could live by feeding off the empty husk of Shibai himself—the purest form of chakra. Nearly eternity.

​The Ancient Watcher: Amado is not a regular scientist who suddenly appeared in the Boruto era; he is an immortal, ancient genius who predates human history, sustaining his life from the cosmic, empty vessel left behind by Shibai.

​The Cosmic Rule of the Third Eye: When Shibai ascended to the higher dimension and detached his soul, his physical body became completely soulless. As a cosmic law, the omnipotent Third Eye on Shibai's forehead sealed itself and completely closed up, disappearing into the flesh the exact moment his soul left. Because of this, when Amado discovered Shibai’s corpse in the ancient shrine, he saw absolutely nothing on his forehead, leading him to believe the secret to godhood relied solely on two eyes.

​The Shrine Raid and the Stolen Eye: Thousands of years ago, Amado infiltrated the sacred shrine where Shibai’s body was kept to steal the god-like Jougan eyes. He managed to pluck out the first Jougan and put it in a tube. Just as he was about to pluck out the second eye, the shrine guardians (or Shibai’s son) ambushed him! Amado had to flee with only one Jougan to save his life. Being a human, he couldn't implant the eye into himself (just like the consciousness overload Obito experienced with a single Rinnegan). Instead, he used this single eye as an "energy reactor" in his lab, creating cyborgs like Eida and Daemon by cloning its Shinjutsu frequency.

​3. The Hand Guiding History: Prototype Hashirama and the Blind Spot of Senrigan

​While studying his single Jougan, Amado used its clairvoyant abilities (the origin of the Senrigan) and realized a massive Otsutsuki threat would one day destroy Earth. Through his tech and spies, he even discovered that Black Zetsu was rewriting the Uchiha Stone Tablet to revive Kaguya.

​The First Android: Senju Hashirama: To halt Madara’s catastrophic plan, Amado used Shibai's cells and Divine Tree energy in his lab to build the ultimate weapon of that era: Senju Hashirama. This explains why, in the entire clan, only Hashirama possessed Wood Style (Mokuton) and unsealed, instantaneous healing—he was a prototype carrying Shibai's raw genetics. He defeated Madara in raw power but failed to calculate Madara’s cunning intellect.

​Izanagi vs. Senrigan: Hashirama killed Madara, and Amado watched and confirmed it via Senrigan. Believing the mission was over, Amado deactivated Hashirama and buried him (years later, Orochimaru found this disposal site and copied it as "Hashirama cells"). But why couldn't Amado see that Madara survived? Because Madara cast Izanagi hours after his death. Since Izanagi is a reality-warping Otsutsuki technique, it manipulated the very reality Amado’s Senrigan was tracking, leaving Amado completely in a blind spot.

​4. The True Meaning of "Two Blue Vortex" and the Incomplete Transfer

​The visual design of the Jougan features a pure electric-blue pupil and surrounding rings over a pitch-black sclera. It looks exactly like a cosmic vortex. The title of the series, Two Blue Vortex, literally represents the Two Lost Jougan Eyes—one in the world inside Boruto, and one hidden away in Amado's lab.

​But how did these eyes get separated?

​Shibai's Command and the Missing Eye: As Shibai ascended, he gave his son a secret order: "Go and transplant both of my eyes into the purest vessel to be born on Earth (Boruto)." However, when the son arrived at the shrine, he found that Amado had already stolen one of the eyes. Out of options, he took the single remaining eye (the Right Jougan) and secretly implanted it into baby Boruto.

​Boruto's Great Illusion: Growing up, Boruto was completely unaware of this transplant. When his right eye awakened, his immense pride made him believe he "awakened it himself" due to his elite lineage. Shibai's son later appeared before him, whispering that "the union of two eyes awakens absolute power," triggering Boruto’s arrogance and thirst for strength. But even the son didn't know the second eye was with Amado; he thought it was permanently lost to the cosmos.

​Hinata’s Nightly Vigils: When Amado realized Boruto possessed a Jougan, he tried to infiltrate the Uzumaki household to steal the remaining eye. However, sensing a strange, ominous presence in the house that night, Hinata began using her Byakugan to inspect every corner of the house every single night. Because of her vigilance, Amado could never get close to Boruto again.

​5. The Inevitable Climax: Awakening the Third Eye

​Boruto defeats all the cyborgs and eventually brings down his rival, Kawaki. Realizing Amado is the source of all these robotic anomalies, he corners him in his lab and finds the "Missing Left Jougan."

​Amado confesses the bitter truth: "Kid, that eye isn't yours, it was transplanted into you! You are just a vessel (Vessel) meant for Shibai’s resurrection. If you put that eye in, Shibai will awaken!" However, blinded by his thirst for power and his lifelong belief that the Jougan was his own biological power, Boruto scoffs, assumes Amado is lying to save his own skin, and ruthlessly kills him.

​Right then, Shibai’s son steps out of the shadows to deliver the ultimate lie: "Don't let him deceive you. When you were a baby, this treacherous man sneaked into your home and stole the left Jougan you were born with! Your mother, Hinata, kept watch with her Byakugan every night, which is why he couldn't take your right eye. He lied to you just so you wouldn't punish him for his theft." Boruto fully believes the lie and manually implants the left Jougan into his own empty eye socket.

​Two Alternate Ending Scenarios:

​Scenario A (The Dark / Distopic Ending): The moment the two blue vortexes (the two Jougan) unite in a single body, the cosmic law triggers: When two Jougan are reunited inside a body with a powerful soul, the sealed Third Divine Eye cracks open vertically on the forehead! With all three eyes complete, Shibai Otsutsuki fully awakens as an absolute god inside Boruto’s body. Boruto, Kawaki, and Amado are completely erased. Shibai, wanting to make up for the millennia spent in cosmic loneliness, decides to stay on Earth, leaving humanity to live helplessly beneath the shadow of an absolute god. The series ends as a dark dystopia.

​Scenario B (The Classic Shonen / Comedy Ending): Boruto fights a psychological battle against Shibai inside his own mind and wins through "the power of bonds." He gains absolute control over all three Jougan. According to Otsutsuki law, whatever the user of the 3 Jougan commands is absolute, so Boruto officially bans the consumption of Chakra Fruits and planet harvesting. He forces the remaining Otsutsuki to relocate to Earth, establishing a walled "Otsutsuki District" right next to Konoha. While Momoshiki stands in line for Ichiraku Ramen in the mornings, Boruto sits in the Hokage office with his third eye open, regulating the district's garbage disposal schedules.

These two characters each have really interesting elements, but both feel underutilized and underdeveloped. Personally, I think combining them could lead to a much stronger character. For now, I’ll call this new version Saito (lol).

In terms of personality, Saito is discreet, cautious, and highly prepared. He maintains a calm, stoic demeanor even in high-stress situations and takes his missions very seriously. He’s observant to the point of seeming detached or apathetic. In everyday social situations, he can come across as blunt or unfiltered, but that contrasts with a more hidden, calculating, and even subtly manipulative side. Despite this, his loyalty is unwavering once it’s established.

For abilities, I’m leaning more toward Yamato’s skill set. Wood Release is a given, but I think it would be interesting to expand his kit with sound-based techniques, possibly tied to his connection to Orochimaru. I’d also like to incorporate a few space-time ninjutsu abilities to broaden his tactical versatility.

For backstory, I’m imagining something similar to Yamato’s origin, but blended with Sai’s arc and expanded further to give it more depth and emotional weight. That said, this version would still be rooted in ROOT, meaning he wouldn’t have any direct connection to Kakashi in the way Yamato originally does. That part of Kakashi’s backstory would need to be reworked or handled differently in this version of events—so I’m open to suggestions on how that could be adjusted.

I’m also torn on Sai’s beast scroll ability. I’m considering either giving it to Saito to round out his arsenal, or transferring it to Tenten instead to spice up her kit and give the sense that she’s actively developing her skills rather than remaining static.

On a related note, I also think Anko and Kakashi should have been present during the Tenchi Bridge arc, as it feels like a missed opportunity given their ties to Orochimaru and the larger narrative stakes.

Probably the best Naruto x fem sasuke was that was abandoned was updated .

This is part 2 and the final part to the Team 7 Weapons Training fanfiction prompt. You can read part 1 here.

Story Begins:

"All right, you three," Kakashi said as he looked at his students. "You better give it all you got... or be destroyed!!"

The ninja trio flinched for a second, but remembered that they faced tougher opponents in the past. It is also training and usually their sensei gets serious when he means it.

The trio held their weapons tight and dashed towards their sensei.

Music: Naruto OST- Beautiful Green Wild Beast plays

Sasuke swung his sword first and it was blocked by a left handed kunai. Then Sakura swung her bow on the opposite side, but was blocked by a kunai too.

Naruto was behind them as he tightly grabbed one of his Tonfas.

The two students were pushing forward against the kunai, but to no avail.

Suddenly, Naruto appeared above his sensei with a right handed Tonfa strike in motion.

Kakashi saw the attack, then leapt out of the way.

Naruto's attack missed as he landed on the ground.

"Well, looks like you three are serious about this training session," Kakashi stated as he looked at his students.

Naruto turned towards Kakashi and smiled. "Of course, sensei! We get to learn something new.

Sasuke and Sakura regrouped beside their teammate and nodded in agreement.

"I'm with Naruto. We actually get to use new weapons in training," Sakura said.

"We're also not rookies anymore and doing this makes it more challenging," Sasuke added.

"I see..." Kakashi lifted up his headband to reveal his sharingan. "You three better get ready, because this time I'm not holding back!"

-Music stops playing

The afternoon sun started to wane down as the sky turned into a pinkish orange color. Jiraiya is watching Team 7 train from a distance, in a nearby forest.

"Hmm, it seems like Kakashi is pushing his students to the max today," Jiraiya spoke to himself. "I am surprised however at how those three interact with each other. Especially Sasuke."

"Enjoying the training session?" A female voice rang out from behind.

Jiraiya turned around and saw his fellow Sannin teammate, Tsunade, walking up to him.

Jiraiya smiled. "Of course, it reminds me of how we trained together as kids."

"Hahaha. Yeah, it does a little bit," Tsunade replied as she now stood beside Jiraiya.

"I remember you would always get fed up with sensei for never giving you any hints or help in training," Tsunade said.

"Pshh. Yeah, that old man was always helping you and Orochimaru get better, instead of me. He always told me to figure it out first before asking and I never understood why."

Tsunade felt her fellow Sannin's expression change and energy shift after he spoke.

"Hey," Tsunade touched his right shoulder, "it's all right. I know how hard Sarutobi sensei was on you at every turn. There were some days I even questioned why he was extra hard on you."

Jiraiya turned to Tsunade and smiled. "Thanks, I appreciate that. I wondered some days too and now that he's gone, we have to carry on his legacy."

Tsunade removed her hand and smiled back. "You're welcome and I know exactly how to carry it forward."

Jiraiya and Tsunade both stared briefly at each other before turning towards the training scene.

Training Field

Music: Naruto OST: Bad Situation plays

The sound of clinging metal echoes from both sharingan users on the patchy, green grass. Sasuke is swinging his weapon at Kakashi with strong, wild attacks looking to deal heavy damage.

However, his sensei parries the attacks with his own charka, covered kunai and pushes him back.

"It's all you got Sasuke? I expected more from you," Kakashi spoke in a taunting manner.

"Arghh! Be quiet," Sasuke responded as he focused his sharingan, "I am going to hit you hard with my next attack!"

Kakashi made a 'come on' hand gesture, then Sasuke got into a fighting stance.

Suddenly, Naruto appeared behind Kakashi and swung his Tonfas at his head. Kakashi ducked, then kicked Naruto away.

From his left side, a metal bow was motion, but was caught at the last second.

"What!? No way!" Sakura yelled out as she held the bow.

Kakashi faced Sakura with his sharingan eye and smiled.

"Nice try, but next time be faster," he then held up two fingers from his right hand, "Wind Release: Blow Back!"

A gust of wind erupted from Kakashi's body as Sakura flew away. She landed hard on her back alongside her bo staff.

Naruto appeared again, but this time from up above. "Take this! Uzumaki Barrage!"

Kakashi held his hand up and grabbed Naruto's foot, before tossing him towards his teammates. Naruto quickly recovered himself in mid-air before standing beside Sasuke and Sakura.

"Don't tell me, this is all you got. I'm only using a portion of my charka," Kakashi stated.

Sakura slowly got up from the ground with her weapon in hand.

"Are you right, Sakura?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, it's just a little bruise. Nothing much."

Sasuke looked at Sakura and saw she was okay. He looked at Naruto, then himself and thought about something.

"Hey, you two. I got an idea that might work. How much charka do you guys have?" Sasuke asked.

"Uh...probably like 30%, I'm not sure though," Naruto replied.

"I probably have enough for one solid strike, but after that, I'm out," Sakura stated.

Sasuke touched his chin. "I got a good amount left for a jutsu or two. So, in that case."

Sasuke closed his eyes for a minute as he began to think of what to do next.

"Okay," Sasuke opened his eyes, "I got it. You two listen up."

-Music stops.

A few minutes go by as Team 7 is a forest sitting behind a tree.

"All right, you two ready?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah! Let's do it!"

"Yup, I'm ready to go, Sasuke."

"Great."

All three ninjas stood up with their weapons in hand.

Sasuke activated his sharingan and turned to Naruto and Sakura. "All right, Team 7...Roll out!"

Music: Naruto OST- Strong and Strike plays

In the open grass field, from a distance, Kakashi sees his students charge at him. His sharingan now activated as he prepares for battle.

Sasuke starts forming hand signs and jumps in the air.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!!"

A large, sphere-shaped size fireball spews from Sasuke's mouth, rapidly heading towards his opponent.

Kakashi bends his knees to jump far away from the attack radius. However, shuriken fly towards his direction and dodges them at the last second. When he lands, three Narutos poof around him and they begin to hug him?

'What? What is this,' Kakashi thought as he was held in place.

Underneath, the ground cracked open as Sakura appeared with a kunai, ready to strike. Kakashi blocks the attack with his forearm, as slight damage occurred.

'Whew, that's was close.'

Sakura began to push the kunai forward, but it was stuck in place.

'Heh, a tiny scratch is not enough,' Kakashi thought as he begun to reach towards Sakura.

Sakura held up two fingers before shouting her jutsu. "Ninja Art: Cherry Blossom Bomb!" In an instant, paper bombs appeared on the kunai and the three Narutos.

'What?! Paper bombs? Oh no! I bett—"

An explosion rang out as the paper bombs went off in a thunderous sound. Smoke covered the area where it occurred.

Moments later, as the smoke cleared, a deformed log was left in its place. The ground opened up and Kakashi hopped out of it.

He began to dust himself off and stretch out his neck. "Okay, I didn't expect that to happen."

Instantly, a shadow blur appeared before Kakashi, as his sharingan read the opponent's movement.

"Haaaaa! Charka slice!" Sasuke shouted as he swung his Uchigatana at Kakashi.

Kakashi ducked down from the first attack then jumped after the second. He quickly pulled out his kunai and clashed it with Sasuke's weapon.

'Hmm, not bad,' Kakashi thought.

Sasuke began to infuse more chakra into his sword, causing the kunai to crack. Meanwhile, Kakashi began to form a one handed jutsu with his free hand, but it was instantly stopped.

"Haha, not so fast Kakashi sensei," Naruto remarked as he used his Tonfas to lock up his sensei's wrist.

"What?" Kakashi noticed as he looked to his right.

"Now Sakura!" Both Sasuke and Naruto yelled in unison.

Sakura appeared above Kakashi with her bo staff engulfed in chakra. She had it raised, ready for a final strike.

"It's over sensei! Chaaaa!! Yaaa!!!"

Sakura's attack landed on Kakashi's head as he fell backwards on the ground. Instantly, Sasuke and Naruto raised their weapons and delivered the final blow on their sensei.

Afterwards, all three students laid on the ground as they huffed and puffed from exhaustion.

"Whew, we finally did it guys," Naruto spoke first.

"Yeah, I can't believe we actually did it in one afternoon," Sasuke added.

"Yeah, good job guys," Sakura said as she raised her hand with a thumbs up gesture.

'Oh yeah! That's right! Without me, we won't have won. Booyah!' Inner Sakura beamed with excitement.

-Music stops playing.

A clapping noise was heard in the distance, as Jiraiya and Tsunade walked up to the trio.

Naruto sat up and pointed at both Sannin figures. "Ehh!! Grandpa Sage!? Granny!? What are you two doing here?"

Sakura sat up as she heard Naruto's voice, then Sasuke followed.

"We were watching you guys duke it out with Kakashi and man was it a sight," Jiraiya excitedly stated.

"Yeah it wa— wait a minute weren't you supposed to be here earlier, old man sage!" Naruto yelled as he pointed again.

Suddenly, Sakura slapped Naruto's shoulder.

"Ouch! That hurt."

"Have some respect for the Legendary Sannin, Naruto!"

"Pssh, yeah whatever!" He crossed his arms.

"Well, it seems you all took down Kakashi together as a team," Tsunade remarked as she saw Kakashi's body on the ground.

Instantly, a puff of smoke appeared from Kakashi's body, then he appeared beside the Sannin.

"Yo, how is everybody?"

All eyes turned to Kakashi and the trio were in shock.

"How!?"

"No way!!"

"We put our all into it!!"

"Yep, you sure put a number on my clone, all right."

"Clone!!?" All three responded simultaneously in a comedic manner.

Jiraya and Tsunade briefly giggled at their reaction.

Music: Naruto OST- Confrontment plays

"That's right. You three were fairing well at first with your new weapons. I was surprised at how quickly you all got adapted," Kakashi explained.

"I really liked you all's hustle and teamwork with your attempt to stop me."

Naruto shook his head in frustration. "You're saying this whole time, we fought a shadow clone?! No fair, Kakashi Sensei! Arrghh!"

Sasuke clenched his fist. "I don't think so. That is no way he would do that for the whole fight."

Sakura paused for a second to assess what could of happened. 'Mmm, let's see,' she thought.

'Hmm, wait a minute! I got the answer!'

Sakura stood up with confidence to deliver her answer. "I know happened! You casted a genjutsu on us while fighting with your sharingan! It would make sense why you went easy on us, so we wouldn't notice!"

Kakashi smiled and nodded in agreement with Sakura's answer.

"WHAT!! No way!! When did it happen?" Naruto yelled as he stood up.

"It happened, when I first activated my sharingan. I used a subtle genjutsu on you three and replaced myself with a shadow clone. It was easy actually," Kakashi explained.

Sasuke stood up and eyed his sensei. "How's that possible?! My sharingan would have picked up on it!"

"Well, yes but you were too busy attacking me that your eyes lost track of what I was doing in the beginning."

Sasuke eyed his sensei while he waited for an explanation.

"For starters, your Uchigatana strength was impressive on how you wield it, but your movements and strikes need to be precise and accurate against your opponent."

Kakashi turned to Sakura. "The bo staff is a good fit for you Sakura, but it seems you are lacking strength and power with your strikes, instead of the last one. Your defense and timing can also be improved upon later."

Lastly, he turned to Naruto. "It seems the Tonfas wasn't a great fit at first for you, Naruto. However, over the course of battle you may it work in your favor and was clever with the hold on my wrist. You still need to work on your tailjutsu and tonfa skills, but what you showed can be improved."

Team 7 all put their heads down and went quiet. The three adults were waiting for what was next and kept quiet.

-Music stops playing

Two minutes passed and no one spoke as the wind blew on the evening training field.

"Well... at least we tried. Right, guys?" Naruto first spoke. "I mean a little setback and constructive criticism won't hurt right?"

"Yeah, you're right," Sasuke spoke next. "I'm not stopping."

"That's right! Same here!" Sakura added. "We're just getting started! Cha!"

Kakashi, Tsunade and Jiraiya all smiled at the three's responses and gave a thumbs up.

Music: Naruto OST- Daylight of Konoha plays

"Well, looks like my job here is done!" Kakashi turned to the two Sannin. "Thanks you two, I'm going to take a long nap now."

Kakashi waved goodbye and yawned before he left with the shadow blur.

"So does that mean we can get Ichiraku Ramen now!!?" Naruto excitedly asked.

"Even better, kid," Jiraiya replied.

"Huh, what's that?"

Tsunade grinned. "A whole buffet on the house from your lovely Hokage for doing extremely well with using new weapons for the first time."

"NANI!! Seriously!? Oh yeah! Believe it!!"

"Hmm, Looks like our teamwork paid off." Sasuke smirked.

"Oh yeah! I did something better than Ino pig! Chaaa!!!" Sakura pumped her fist in the air.

Tsunade pointed her finger in the air. "Well, in that case let's get going and enjoy the Hidden Leaf's Village best buffet!!"

As the sun is replaced by the moon shortly after, so are the empty stomachs of genin filled with food and drink.

The day was over, the training was over, but the weapon wielding journey of three shinobi had begun.

"For the future of Konoha!" They all shouted as the buffet restaurant doors closed for the night.

The End. :)

I'm looking for a Naruto fanfiction on FF.net.

The premise in the first few chapters was that, at night, Naruto would scavenge through the trash in Konoha, searching for old, discarded technique scrolls and clan techniques.

He discovered an old base belonging to Orochimaru, cleaned it out, and established his own hideout—complete with a library—inside it. In one particular scene, Shikamaru and Shino Aburame are present in the base, reading various scrolls.

I believe that in another scene—during a solo D-rank mission—he stumbles upon yet another of Orochimaru's bases while clearing stones to prepare a field for farming.

Danzo was interrupted when he attacked Shisui. He fled the village, taking with him one stolen eye. Shisui vanished with the other.

Seven years later, Kotoamatsukami has returned to Konoha. And a girl with pink hair washes up by the Naka with no memory of who she used to be.
 

A murder mystery told through alternating perspectives and timelines. Adapted from The Rook, by Daniel O'Malley.

In the present, Sakura wakes up without her memories, having clearly been the victim of a vicious attack. Along with Sasuke, she begins investigating the circumstances that led to her current state.

In the past, Sakura stumbles upon a decade-long cover-up involving a stolen Sharingan and a rogue councilor with a vendetta against the Uchiha. Realizing that she will lose her memories, she starts writing letters to her future self, arming her with the information she needs to survive.

But as Sakura, past and present, inches closer to discovering who wants her dead, she's also getting perilously close to the Uchiha's most dangerous secret, one they've been trying to bury for close to a decade...

CCW welcome and appreciated! I'm trying to work on my writing.

Recuerdo que leí este fic hace años, por lo que mí memoria es confusa; creo que empezaba con Itachi negándose a participar en la masacre del clan por lo que se toman otras medidas, que son incendiar el clan Uchiha y hacerlo pasar como accidente; de alguna manera Itachi llega a tiempo para salvar a Sasuke y un peluche (aparece bastante); toma a Sasuke y escapa de Konoha y viven escondidos hasta que un día Sasuke se topa con el equipo 7 en medio de una misión; conformado por Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura y Shikamaru; creo que en algún momento Sakura casi se ahoga en un río y Sasuke la salva pero ella lo termina confundiendo con una niña o algo asi; aún así el encuentro no pasa a nada más que recuerde. Tiempo después por alguna razón que se me escapa Sasuke decide participar en los exámenes chunnin de Konoha, el no pertenece a alguna aldea pero creo que quería demostrar su fuerza(?); Itachi se opone a la idea pero al final acepta que Sasuke vaya y que no revele su identidad, al momento de llegar al bosque de la muerte hace alianza con el equipo 7 porque sabe algo de ninjutsu médico; nadie sospecha de él (creo) hasta que pelea contra Lee y para ganar activa el mangekyo , lo cual obviamente notan los demás y terminan descubriendo quien es realmente; la pelea de Naruto contra Gaara sigue igual pero no sé enfoca mucho porque Sasuke se desmaya en algún momento; recuerdo que Itachi también llega en algún momento cuando él está en el hospital y Sasuke dice algo sobre tener que ir con sus amigos (?) luego de toda la acción y que volviera a la "normalidad" de siempre Sasuke es oficialmente parte del equipo 7 y todos los demás equipos se reagrupan como en el canon; hay detalles relevantes y otro que no lo son pero recuerdo cosas como que Sasuke odia el ramen porque de niño comió demasiado de eso, Naruto tiene un sillón o sofá hecho con tazas de ramen(?), Sasuke guardando el peluche de su infancia y un ligero trauma parece(?) porque no puede dormir bien en espacios cerrados , Sasuke no sabe leer y es Iruka quien le enseña; hubo un tiempo en el que vivió con los Inuzuka, rompió una puerta de la casa de Kakashi; creo que el fic iba a ser SasuHina, Neji le tenía tipo odio a Sasuke por qué escapó y luego no escapó de su "destino" (morir en el incendio); ummm como aquí Orochimaru no va tras Sasuke para saltar al arco de Shippuden se usó otro recurso; la muerte de Sasuke... Muerte falsa pero para todos excepto para los involucrados Sasuke murió en una misión en una montaña con nieve; la realidad fue que Kakashi recibió orden de eliminarlo pero no pudo hacerlo directamente así que lo dejó abandonado en la nieve y les hizo creer a todos que murió, Sasuke cree que Kakashi lo traicionó; luego de ese lapso de tiempo termina uniendose a Akatsuki y en el momento donde secuestran a Gaara para extraer el bijuu Sasuke lo salva porque tenía una deuda(esto se aclara en los extras del mismo autor/a qué muestra a Sasuke y Gaara conociéndose de niños); de alguna manera Shikamaru termina descubriendo que Sasuke está vivo y lo último que recuerdo de su último capítulo en ese entonces fue Sasuke yendo a Konoha porque se enteró que Itachi se unió a Orochimaru e iba a destruir la aldea porque cree que Kakashi dejo morir a Sasuke... También había un extra en donde Sasuke niño conoce a Haku, ambos creyendo que el otro era niña y luego riéndose cuando se dan cuenta que ambos son niños(?)

Planning a Sakura-centric fanfic with some major canon changes (e.g., Naruto’s identity is public knowledge from the start, altered history of wars, etc.). I also want to give proper development to multiple characters.

Would it be better to start with a few prologue chapters from different Team 7 POVs before focusing on Sakura? Or is it usually better in fanfic to just start in one POV and let readers pick up world changes as they go?

Basically—how much canon deviation can readers handle without needing a big info-dump explaining everything (like changes to past wars or world history)?

For more context, my planned prologue structure looks like this:

• Chapter 1: an adjusted version of Episode 1
• Chapter 2: Sasuke POV focusing on his interiority and trauma
• Chapter 3: Sakura POV and the formation of Team 7
• Chapter 4: Kakashi POV
• Chapter 5: the Bell Test

After that, I’d try to keep all characters involved fairly equally, but realistically the story will probably skew toward Sakura’s POV since that’s where my main interest is.

So, I personally would have loved it if Temari came along on the mission and I would have had Chiyo, Temari, Sakura and maybe even Tenten all fight Sasori, I also had this idea of Neji following Naruto and Kakashi to chase after Didara and not be able to do anything combat-wise, leading to a greater development of long ranged abilities for later. But what about the rest of team gai?

What if Uchiha Izuna lived a brand-new life in another world after his death, and returned to where he belonged years later? And as an ordinary human completely devoid of chakra and shinobi wars, a married man and a father of two?

After serving for fifty years in the modern world as a member of the Maroon Berets, one of Türkiye's most elite special forces, and falling as a martyr following countless operations, Izuna opens his eyes once again in his own universe. Right at that miraculous moment when his older brother, Uchiha Madara—who was preparing to leave Konoha—was bidding his final farewell at his brother's grave...

Madara's mournful farewell turns into indescribable joy upon reuniting with the brother he had longed for over the years. However, the surprises won't end there. Before long, familiar faces begin to appear in Konoha: Izuna's former comrade-in-arms and commander from the modern world, Altay; his genius wife, who is Altay's sister; and their two little children. While Izuna experiences the happiness of reuniting with his family, the "Strongest Uchiha in the World," Madara, tries to overcome the sweet but heavy shock of suddenly becoming an uncle.

From that day forward, a brand-new and staggering era begins for the Uchiha Clan:

• By integrating the strict military discipline and tactical strategies of the Turkish Special Forces into the Uchiha warriors, Izuna completely overhauls the Konoha Military Police Force.
• His wife, a visionary woman holding university degrees in multiple fields, outwits the clan elders with her sharp mind, modernizing the Uchiha's rigid policies and opening up brand-new avenues of economic income for the clan.
• Altay, with no state left to serve in this new world after 30 years of grueling military service, retreats to his own corner and opens a peaceful restaurant to wash away the exhaustion of his past.

But what about the most feared man in the world, the expected architect of the Fourth Shinobi War and the mastermind of the Eye of the Moon plan, Uchiha Madara? Fate has woven its webs differently; now, instead of conquering the world, he will turn into a full-time "babysitter" chasing after his niece and nephew...

Madara was astounded by this audacious behavior.

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! WHAT DID YOU DO! DID YOU ATTACK MY CLAN?!”

Hashirama, rushing to soothe the escalating tension in the room, spoke in a calming tone.

“No! I didn't attack. I just wanted to talk to you, but they wouldn't let me pass. When I tried to get through, they attacked me, so I had to tie them up. No one was hurt!”

Listening to this, Izuna didn't know how to react. He could clearly see that this man was excessively reckless, tactless, and possessed a severe obsession with his older brother, Madara... Actually, the reason for this was obvious; while even Hashirama's own family didn't support his dream of building a village and acted as a hindrance, Madara had believed in him and supported him. This had caused Hashirama to form a profound bond with Madara. There was also the fact that they possessed the chakras of the Uchiha ancestor, Indra, and his brother, the Senju ancestor, Ashura. His brother Madara and Hashirama were, in a way, "chakra brothers." As Izuna pondered these complex and deep connections, his temples began to throb, and a headache crept in.

'Ancestor... I understand, you had a dream, but why are you dragging your descendants into this? Fine, you dragged them into it, but why are you dragging your leech of a brother along! Furthermore, great ancestor Hagoromo-sama, why do you leave your sons so unchecked! Even greater ancestor Kaguya! And you, rather than explaining the clan's knowledge to your two sons, why do you act so secretive and allow a foolish toad to interfere!'

As Izuna internally cursed his ancient ancestors one after another, Madara was glaring at Hashirama with fury.

“You cannot just do whatever you please simply because you are the Hokage, Hashirama! This is the Uchiha clan!”

Before Hashirama could answer, an ice-cold voice echoed through the room. The moment Izuna heard this voice, he shuddered with disgust and grew restless. That man, whom he never wanted to see, had arrived uninvited... Though, since his eyes were bound, he couldn't actually see him right now.

“The Hokage of Konoha does as he pleases for the sake of security when there is a potential threat, Uchiha Madara.”

Tobirama materialized right behind his older brother, Hashirama. Startled by this sudden arrival, Hashirama looked behind him in shock.

“TOBIRAMA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!”

As Madara’s eyes narrowed dangerously, Tobirama turned his cold gaze to his rival lying on the tatami floor and spoke.

“I didn't want to send you alone, brother. Besides, I wanted to see my old rival whom I thought I had killed... he looks awful.”

Madara was about to spring to his feet in a fit of rage when Izuna swiftly reached out and gripped his brother’s hand tightly. As the two Senju brothers were left bewildered by this sudden intervention, Izuna chuckled with a nonchalant demeanor and spoke.

“I was wondering where that foul stench of the sewers was coming from. It smelled so bad that it interrupted my sleep. It turns out Tobirama has come to be our guest.”

Tobirama’s eyes narrowed at this insult, and the old fire of rivalry he thought had long been extinguished within him began to burn once more.

“So you are awake, and you really are alive.”

Izuna chuckled quietly.

“You sound disappointed?”

Hearing this, Tobirama smirked coldly.

“No, I wouldn't have wanted you to die from a mere sword wound. After all, I want you to see just how vast the gap in our strength is. It's much more enjoyable to defeat you by utterly crushing you.”

Hearing these words, Madara began to tremble with rage, but Izuna gripped his brother’s hand even tighter, keeping him calm and rooted to his spot. This small yet significant detail did not escape Tobirama’s sharp eyes. Madara hadn’t taken action or made a show of force; he had completely yielded the floor to Izuna, allowing him to take the lead. Izuna chuckled once again.

“Ah, I would have liked that too, but right now, my body is too weak. Besides, with the Senju and Uchiha clan patriarchs having ended the war and formed an alliance, it is not our place to speak. But I would enjoy having a sparring match with you.”

Hearing this, Tobirama narrowed his eyes. This was not the arrogant, impulsive, and quick-tempered Izuna he remembered from the battlefield. The calmness of the man before him was deeply unsettling. Meanwhile, Hashirama shook off his initial shock. He hadn’t wanted to come between the two, but seeing a pause in their exchange, he turned to Tobirama in anger and snapped.

“Did you place a Flying Thunder God mark on my clothes?! I told you to stay away from here!”

Tobirama was about to open his mouth to defend himself when Izuna interjected.

“What’s done is done, 1st Hokage. Since you are here, stay for dinner. We were just getting ready to eat.”

The other three people in the room were dumbfounded by this unexpected invitation. Izuna tried to sit up from where he lay, but his body wouldn’t allow it. Letting out a tired sigh, he asked for help from the person he trusted most.

“Brother, could you help me sit up?”

Hearing his brother’s innocent request, Madara nodded. With immense gentleness and extreme caution, he slowly lifted his still incredibly weak brother, supporting him until he was seated. As Hashirama watched this scene, a pang of jealousy struck his heart. He looked at his own brother unhappily and thought to himself.

'Why isn't our sibling relationship like theirs! If I show kindness to Tobirama, he calls me an idiot. If I suggest an idea, he immediately criticizes it... And look at Izuna and Madara; no matter what happens, they support each other unconditionally.'

Hashirama sighed softly, looked back at Izuna, and began to speak with his usual amiable, cheerful expression.

“Hahahaha! Thank you for the offer, Izuna! We will be intruding, then!”

Tobirama, however, was still looking at his old rival with suspicion, trying to decipher the true motive hidden beneath this politeness.

“What are you plotting, Izuna?”

Hearing this, Hashirama grimaced as if he had just swallowed a fly. Seeing his brother's courtesy met with such hostility, Madara flared up with anger again. Just as he was about to make a move and attack Tobirama, Izuna squeezed his brother’s hand once more, stopping him.

“Brother! If Hashirama is your counterpart, then Tobirama is mine! Please, let me be the one to speak with him while I am here. If Hashirama intervenes, then I will expect your support.”

Seeing his brother asking him to step back, Madara was taken aback for a moment. However, this self-confidence radiating from his brother warmed his heart, and calming down, he took his seat.

“Alright, I trust you.”

While Hashirama watched this display of mutual trust with admiration, astonishment, and a hint of jealousy, Tobirama raised his eyebrows and smirked.

“Have you forgotten that you nearly died the last time?”

Every time his brother opened his mouth, Hashirama felt like he was on the verge of a heart attack. Just as he prepared to step in and scold Tobirama, Izuna chuckled effortlessly.

“What can I say, Tobirama. I never thought you would be smart enough to develop such a technique. You caught me off guard, and since I acted arrogantly, it was my fault. What is the name of this ingenious technique you invented? I assume you'd share that much information with your old rival.”

Not expecting this honest confession and compliment from Izuna, Tobirama was utterly stunned. Still, receiving such praise from his mortal enemy made him inwardly proud, and he stated the name of his technique.

“The Flying Thunder God technique.”

Izuna nodded calmly.

“A fine name, it suits it perfectly. Now, let’s focus on other matters.”

As everyone in the room was surprised by the sudden change of subject, Izuna turned his face toward his brother.

“Brother, could you call Ginto? I still can't raise my voice.”

Madara nodded and fulfilled his brother’s request.

“GINTO!”

Within seconds, Ginto appeared at the door and dropped to one knee.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

Madara gave his approval by gesturing toward his brother with his eyes. Izuna took over the conversation.

“Ginto!”

At that moment, Ginto’s tone changed entirely, replying like a fiercely loyal subordinate.

“Yes, Captain.”

Izuna issued his instructions in a perfectly calm and resolute voice.

“The 1st Hokage and his brother will be dining with us today, but given their positions, it wouldn't be appropriate to host them alone. Go inform the elders and the Senju elders; let us all dine together. Furthermore, since this is a family dinner, invite the 1st Hokage’s family as well.”

As everyone in the room was once again taken aback by this large-scale invitation, Hashirama raised his hand and spoke shyly.

“There's no need for that, Izuna. Let's not bother them.”

Izuna paused for a moment and looked at his brother as if seeking his opinion. Evaluating the situation, Madara thought for a brief second before nodding in agreement with Hashirama.

“Hashirama is right, Izuna. There is no need to blow this out of proportion... Considering we eat with him almost every day...”

Izuna paused briefly, stunned by what he had just heard. He began to reevaluate Hashirama’s bizarre obsession with his brother in his mind. Meanwhile, Tobirama was both trying to deduce his old rival’s true intentions and secretly taking a twisted pleasure in the "intimacy" of the situation that had just unfolded. After all, his own brother always ignored him and ran to Madara; now, he was sharing this feeling of abandonment with Izuna, who suffered the same from his own brother. It was a tableau of two poor brothers marginalized by their older siblings. Izuna shook his head, snapping out of his thoughts.

“I understand, but Mito must come. It wouldn't be proper to invite her husband to dinner without her knowledge.”

The others in the room were completely baffled, unable to make any sense of Izuna's unexpected insistence.

Madara looked at his brother, who was behaving completely out of character right before his eyes. Frankly, for a split second, he had even doubted if this was the real Izuna, but since his brother had promised to explain everything, he decided to wait. He then looked at Ginto waiting by the door.

“Ginto, have the meals prepared exactly as Izuna requested. Then, bring out the wine we set aside for guests from the Clan Leader's cellar, and also, invite Mito here.”

Receiving the order, Ginto quickly stood up and prepared to leave, but Izuna stopped him.

“Ginto, wait a minute.”

As Ginto stood rooted to the spot in confusion, Izuna tried to lean toward Madara to say something in his ear. Understanding the situation, Madara leaned in toward him. When Izuna whispered a few words into his brother’s ear, Madara’s face took on a strange expression for a moment, and he looked at Izuna in astonishment. Seeing this secret exchange, Tobirama narrowed his eyes but couldn't figure out what they were plotting. Hashirama, on the other hand, still couldn't understand why his wife Mito had been specifically invited to dinner. He had only come over to hang out with Madara because he was bored and overwhelmed at home, and partly to check on Izuna’s condition. Ultimately, if Izuna was well, his best friend Madara would be well too.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Madara sighed and gestured for Ginto to come closer. When Ginto approached, Madara whispered into his ear what he had heard from Izuna. Hearing these instructions, Ginto was left utterly flabbergasted, looking first at Madara, then at Izuna. The suspicion inside Tobirama had grown immensely, but he simply couldn't grasp what his arch-rival was scheming behind his back.

Altay, one of the most elite Maroon Berets of the Turkish Armed Forces, is killed in action during a grueling operation. However, his story does not end there; he opens his eyes within the seal of a three-year-old Naruto, right beside the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox, Kurama.

Upon learning that he was thrown into this bizarre ninja world by a cosmic accident, mysterious entities grant Altay a unique Dimensional Guild System as compensation. Taking Kurama as his partner-in-crime, Altay sets out to build his own guild within a special pocket universe, while simultaneously taking on the task of raising and training little Naruto.

In his first major move, Altay recruits the entire Uchiha Clan into his guild. Together with Kurama, he ventures into countless crazy worlds, takes on mind-boggling quests, and gains new companions. By the time they realize that this interdimensional adventure has opened the door to far greater wars and universal threats, it is already too late. However, it can hardly be said that either of them cares; for this unhinged duo who laugh in the face of danger, the real adventure is just beginning!

Author's Note Written entirely to clear the mind, laugh, and have fun, this adventure will occasionally present you with deep political intrigue and, at other times, absurd moments that stretch the boundaries of logic. A boundless story full of unexpected surprises awaits you!

----

In the training corner of the seal space, Altay was hanging from a pull-up bar with various iron weights attached to his ankles, arms, and waist, pulling himself up, drenched in sweat. Kurama, inside the cage, was sprawled out on his giant bed like a king. He had opened a massive bag of chips, specifically sent for his size, and was loudly crunching away at them. Although he occasionally glanced at Altay from the corner of his eye, teasing and criticizing his training form, he was generally occupied with his own business—namely, the manga series provided to him through Altay's system.

Currently, he was reading a supposedly "romantic" story featuring a nine-tailed fox as the protagonist. But in reality, Kurama was about to lose his mind from anger! At first, seeing legendary foxes like himself—especially female nine-tails—in these books had stirred strange, indescribable feelings within his petrified heart. However, this sentimentality was completely wiped away after reading his 27th shoujo series, leaving nothing but pure rage in its wake. He angrily slammed the huge manga shut and struck the bed fiercely with his giant paw.

"WHY IS IT THAT IN MOST OF THE SERIES ABOUT NINE-TAILS IN YOUR WORLD, WE FOXES ARE ALWAYS WOMEN!? I AM A MALE, DAMMIT, A MALE! I WANT TO READ SOMETHING DECENT FOR ONCE! I WANT BLOOD! I WANT GORE! I WANT A RUSTY CROWBAR SMASHED INTO SOMEONE'S TEMPLE! GIVE ME SOMETHING PROPER!"

Altay, drenched in sweat from his pull-ups, paused his workout at this outburst. Dropping down from the bar, he wiped his face with the towel hanging around his neck and answered, panting.

"That was entirely your choice, furball! Frankly, unlike you, I'm not someone with a huge manga or comic book culture, so I can't help you much with that. But if you ask me, there are a few different series I can recommend. Besides... as far as I know, you tailed beasts don't biologically have a gender?"

Kurama had brought this upon himself by stubbornly reading those romantic absurdities just because "it features a nine-tailed fox." Hearing Altay's comment about gender only infuriated him further.

"That might be true on paper, but mentally, I am a male fox! And I have been a male for over a thousand years! So I am definitely a male, and that is never going to change!"

Altay sighed at this endearing tantrum, before asking out of curiosity as a question popped into his mind.

"Speaking of which... When you looked into my memories in the beginning, did you also see the endings of all the manga series or stories in my mind?"

Kurama sat on his bed with his arms crossed, still glaring angrily at the manga.

"Not all of them, obviously. I was focused on more vital things in your mind at the time. Picture books didn't catch my interest that much. I mostly looked at what you call Novels or Fanfics, but naturally, I only checked the parts related to me, meaning this universe. In short, I know the general trajectory of this world."

Altay grew even more curious.

"In that case... Did you check out masterpieces like Akame ga Kill, Attack on Titan, Berserk, or Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba)?"

Kurama looked at Altay, confused.

"Stories featuring ordinary human characters don't interest me. Why would I look at them? Besides, I didn't have the time to delve that deep; I saw some things in your mind clearly, while I only skimmed over others. My main focus was, naturally, the Naruto series. And anyway, you've read this series so much that alongside the original works, you've devoured over a thousand long-running Naruto fanfictions."

Altay shrugged slightly.

"What can I say? I've always enjoyed the power dynamics and stories of this world."

Kurama turned his giant head and glared at Altay.

"In your world, that's called an 'obsession'!"

Altay chuckled at the remark.

"Maybe you're right. There were too many plot holes regarding the characters and power systems in the original Naruto series; the mangaka couldn't quite flesh out the story completely. Let's just say I tried to satisfy my hunger for fiction through fanfics. I only read them whenever I had free time. Although, for the past 20 years, ever since I got promoted, I barely had time to read anything at all; the special forces began taking on increasingly complex and lengthy missions. Ultimately, for us, the homeland always comes before our personal pleasures."

At this talk of patriotism, Kurama simply sighed and stared at the ceiling. Altay, on the other hand, quickly communicated with the system through the interface, and seconds later, the new, blood-and-gore-filled manga series he had just listed materialized right next to Kurama's bed. Altay chuckled mischievously.

"Here you go, read these. The exact blood and gore you wanted are right here. I'd recommend starting with Akame ga Kill."

After saying this, Altay stepped in front of the pitch-black steel plate standing in the middle of the training area—it was 4 meters long, 2 meters wide, and exactly 30 centimeters thick. The surface of the plate was already covered with large and small bloody dents and fist marks that Altay had left over the past three months. Altay took a deep breath and closed his eyes; the moment he focused, that scorching, crimson-colored chakra began to seep from his body. When his hands were entirely coated with this dense red chakra like a pair of gloves, he opened his eyes. He raised his fist and struck the plate with all his might, putting his entire body weight into it. That thick steel plate trembled slightly from the force of the blow. Altay continued to strike without breaking his rhythm. Initially, he was only throwing heavy boxing punches, but as he warmed up, Muay Thai kicks, knee strikes, elbow blows, and palm thrusts joined the mix.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

After carefully watching Altay's brutal training for a while, Kurama interjected with the demeanor of a master.

"You're still executing those strikes wrong! Don't forcibly push and pull the chakra out of your coils! Let it flow naturally along with you, like water rushing from your shoulders down to your arms. Remember, mortal; that chakra is now an organic part of your body, not some temporary performance-enhancing drug you've taken from the outside!"

Altay paused, covered in sweat, and scratched his head. He replied somewhat sheepishly.

"Teach, don't be so hard on me! I've only had this damn thing called chakra for three months. This energy, which is as natural as breathing to you and everyone else in this supernatural world, is still a very new and bizarre concept to me. My entire life, I was an ordinary human who relied solely on muscle power; don't expect me to wield chakra like a master Shinobi right off the bat."

Ignoring Altay's excuse, Kurama sighed. He picked up the first volume of the Akame ga Kill series from the pile next to him and opened its cover with his massive claws. He muttered to himself.

"I hope this time it's actually something good, worth reading..."

For the first minute, Kurama flipped the pages completely unenthusiastically. By the third minute, his giant eyebrows slowly furrowed, and he began holding the book more carefully with both hands. By the time they reached the fifth minute, Kurama had completely disconnected from the world around him, thoroughly engrossed in the flow of the manga. Catching this rapid change from the corner of his eye, Altay sighed in amusement and focused back on his own training with the steel plate. In the colossal void of the seal space, the only sounds echoing were the impacts of Altay striking the steel and the murmurs of Kurama's reactions as he turned the pages.

BANG!

"Hmm... Well look at that, this noble family really does seem pure and kind-hearted. That naive brat of a protagonist, Tatsumi, sure is lucky..."

BANG!

"Night Raid assassins? Traitors! They've already killed that innocent mother and father. Tsk, tsk... What a pity; hospitable and kind-hearted people like them are so rare in this day and age."

BANG!

"NANI!?"

BANG!

"THIS... THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I CANNOT BE WRONG! THESE NOBLE PEOPLE WERE ABSOLUTELY GOOD PEOPLE! HOW COULD THEY COMMIT SUCH DISGUSTING, SADISTIC TORTURES IN THEIR BARN!?"

BANG!

"SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THESE ASSASSINS WERE ACTUALLY THE GOOD GUYS NOW!? UGH, THAT BLONDE WITCH REALLY IS AN ANNOYING TYPE!"

Altay chuckled out loud at Kurama's loud, shocked reactions. Kurama had already fallen hard for the manga's dark, twist-filled storyline. Altay stopped punching the steel and called out to Kurama mockingly.

"It seems that as long as you can't sense the malice or goodness in front of you, even a giant monster like you is highly likely to be fooled by an innocent appearance!"

Kurama lifted his head from the manga and glared at Altay.

"It's just a simple piece of drawing made with ink! How am I supposed to sense people's true emotions and malice from a drawing!? If this were real life, I—the wise, supreme, and noble Kurama-sama—would understand the dark nature within those people in a second with just a single glance!"

Altay looked down at Kurama with his ever-constant, sarcastic facial expression. Seeing this look, Kurama jumped up as if someone had stepped on his most sensitive tail and reacted loudly.

"I'm serious!"

"Sure, sure. I absolutely believe you."

"I don't like that sarcastic tone of yours at all!"

"My voice just sounds like that from training fatigue..."

"Tch! Insolent human..."

So basically this Naruto has no Kurama, has the Dead Bone Pulse, has a dead Hinata's byakugan[only 1], and has access to only 20% of his chakra.

Would he be balanced, if not, how would you balance him?
Also could a normal Sasuke[but with hatchets or smth as his main weapon] be an equal in power to him?
Also, how tf do you win in a taijutsu fight against a Dead Bone Pulse User?

Naruto fandom, please help me find a lost fanfic 🙏

I'm pretty sure it was on FanFiction.net and it was a completed Naruto time travel fix-it fic.

What I remember:

* The entire Konoha 12 (or at least most/all of them) were sent back in time together. * They were physically young again, around 5–8 years old. * They kept all their memories from the future. * I think they were sent back by some kind of godlike being. * It was gen-focused with little or no romance. * The kids graduated from the Academy years early because they already had the skills and knowledge of experienced shinobi. * Rin, Obito, and Kakashi were alive and involved in helping the kids. * At least some adults knew about the time travel. * Neji and Hinata specifically worked to prevent Hinata's kidnapping/the Hyūga Affair so Hizashi wouldn't die. * The fic had a big epilogue showing how the new timeline changed everyone's lives. * I remember one of the Konoha 12 ending up with a younger sibling who didn't exist in canon because their parents survived.

The most specific scene I remember:

Rin, Obito, Kakashi, and the kids were outside doing chakra control training. Rin said she wasn't going to fall for the kids acting cute. Ino then deliberately acted adorable until Rin picked her up. After realizing she'd been manipulated, Rin basically admitted Ino had played her and complimented her by saying something along the lines of "you're good."

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've been trying to find it for ages and it's driving me crazy 😭

Pretty much what the title says. Sasori's arsenal always felt smaller than it should have been. He had Hiruko, the Third Kazekage, his generic puppet army, Mother and Father, and himself, but I think it would've been far more interesting if he had pulled out more unique puppets with actual history behind them.

Imagine him using legendary shinobi he had defeated and turned into puppets, maybe even one of the previous generations of the Seven Swordsmen. That puppet with the Sharingan could have been elevated from a background curiosity into an actual major threat. Or Sasori could've been incredibly petty and brought out puppets made from Orochimaru's former experiments or subordinates - people he specifically hunted down and collected because of how much he despises Orochimaru.

He also could've expanded his arsenal through other means. Maybe some puppets could have been equipped with legendary weapons that have unique abilities, or others possess rare Kekkei Genkai. Imagine him bringing back abilities we never get to see again, like Haku's Ice Release, through preserved puppet bodies. Or we could have seen more abilities from Suna, like glass release or something.

Sasori also could've used elemental ninjutsu much more creatively than he did in the original fight. The poison aspect feels underutilized as well. Once Sakura figured out his lethal poison, he could've adapted and switched tactics: hallucination-inducing toxins, paralytic agents, poisons that cause tissue necrosis, sensory disruption, and so on. For someone portrayed as a meticulous and obsessive artist, his combat style could have felt much more varied and unpredictable.

Gaara was a terrifying person, she was especially terrifying to Naruto who after each time he was in her proximity only saw a demon in front of him. Didn't help that he didn't understand what she meant by "meet me at the highest place you can find to gaze in the distance" when he told her she must take out the sand she put in Lee to help heal him until he was confronted by Temari and Kankuro...

"This is insanity! first you meet her and she for some reason 'likes your smell' for whatever reason and then obsesses over drinking your blood and now this?!" Kankuro was poking his finger at Naruto while screaming at him

"You really need to explain yourself, you put a genjutsu on her or something?" Temari asked with flaming disdain in her eyes

"hey! don't look at me like I enjoy being stalked by your freak of a sister! and what do you mean she's asking me for a date?!" Naruto pushed them away

"Heh, I just don't understand why she acts like this, her whole life she's like this around you" Kankuro gurgled at Naruto

"She wants to date you, it's not even subtle, gazing in the distance from a high place is explicit romantic thing in our culture" Temari explained to him

Kankuro grabbed Naruto by his shirt, "Listen here you little brat, my sister is the future leader of our village and I hope you're not interested in breaking the alliance between Konoha and Suna because of your stupidity, so keep her wellbeing as more important than yours, you underst-"

"Kankuro" the chilling voice behind him was instantly recognisable, Gaara was looking at him with a terrifying disapproval that he noticed without looking

as he looked back, he was too terrified to speak coherently "Si-sis..."

Temari was equally terrified, but gathered herself to pretend they were having a friendly conversation with Naruto, "Gaara, we were explaining our culture to your new friend"

"Quit lying Temari" Gaara said with a cold dismissal, Temari winced upon realising they were caught, each thinking about the horrible things that could happen

"Naruto... you picked a spot for us?" Gaara calmed down in her tone a little when speaking to Naruto

Naruto was scared but he thought fast of his favourite place, "The Fourth Hokage's head monument!" he yelled in obvious fear

"Good, meeting you there then, is 5pm a good time?" Gaara was confusing everyone with how cold her tone was yet her words spoke of... something she never spoke of often

"Yes of course!" Naruto yelling in fear again

"Great, Temari, Kankuro, let's go back, I have torture tools to buy" as Gaara gave them her back, they all breathed a sigh of relief they didn't know they held

and as Naruto and the sand siblings parted ways Gaara looked back at him, "Naruto" she called

Naruto simply looked at her from behind, then his face went pale seeing her wide and sociopathic smile that restored the fear in her brother and sister

"If you don't show up, I will make sure you won't see your dear friend's funeral" before then going back to her normal self and walking away, Naruto gave her his back hesitantly and walked slightly fast in fear for his life

Kakashi and Kurenai observed from afar, looking the scene from a telescope

"This kid is really unlucky huh?" Kurenai said matter-of-factly

"He has his way of bending luck against himself and for himself, it's always quite amusing" Kakashi chuckled

"You think he will survive this one?"

"I hope so, but I doubt it, women are scary" Kakashi said, earning himself an eyebrow from Kurenai

"I- ahhh didn't mean it that way!"

"Sureeee... no wonder the only women who like you are those you don't talk to" Kurenai chuckled, gloating at her comrade's dating life misfortunes

Kakashi sighed, "on second thought... maybe I'm more like Naruto than I thought I am..." whispering to himself, which Kurenai heared, extending her gloating session

a year ago I read a story where do to circumstances those three get sealed in Naruto. Anko takes a liking to Naruto and helps him deal with the villagers by summoning Amanda on them. (i guess Orochimarus betrayal didn’t affect Ankos link to the snakes summons just roll with it) the villagers create the most elaborate assignation attempt on Naruto’s life including an evil Shisui. but things escalate where the 9 tails takes over and shows the three of them what they were doing to Naruto. Needless to say Hashirama was furious, takes control calls them disgraced to Kohnoha and binds them with trees, Madera not long afterwords gives them a massive scolding saying to the Uchia in the crowed it’s to late to join him now and finishes these people off. Minato just looks on sad that his people would do this to his son. and when they learn everything that happened to Naruto Madera says this “destroying Kohnoha is bad why?” which the nine tails seconds while Hashirama and Minato are so confused on how the village turned out like this

Trying to find an old Naruto fanfiction from FF.net.
What I remember:
- Naruto was originally raised in a surviving Uzushiogakure.
- He was a member of the main Uzumaki family and was considered the heir/future leader.
- His grandfather (possibly the clan head) treated him more like a weapon, asset, or proper heir than a child. - His entire childhood was lessons, training, politics, and duty.
- Minato’s Namikaze clan was not from Konoha. I believe they were connected to Kumo, which was part of why Naruto’s grandfather disliked that side of his heritage.
- Kushina eventually sent Naruto to Konoha and sealed his memories of Uzushio.
Naruto promised Kushina he would stay in Konoha.
- Uzushio believed Naruto was gone/dead for years.
They only discovered he was alive after the Wave mission.
- After learning Naruto was alive, Uzushio sent a genin team to the Chunin Exams. Officially they were there for the exams, but their real mission was to convince Naruto to return to Uzushio.
- One member of the Uzushio genin team was an OC girl who had known Naruto as a child before his memories were sealed.
- The other Uzushio genin were shocked that she personally knew Naruto because he was from the main family.
- Naruto’s memories started returning while he was already a genin and before/during the Chunin Exam arc.
- Jiraiya wanted Naruto’s memories resealed until he was older, which seriously damaged Naruto’s trust in him.
- I vaguely remember Naruto refusing to return to Uzushio because of the promise he made to Kushina.
- I also remember a scene where Naruto was talking with Hiruzen about death and said something along the lines of never being able to enjoy the luxury of death.
- Another scene I remember is Orochimaru attacking the Uzushio genin team, and Naruto staying behind to hold him off so they could escape.
Possible NaruHina pairing and maybe other pairings/harem elements.
- Does anyone recognize this fic? It’s been years and I can’t find it anywhere.
