Hi all,

Been wondering about Haruno Sakura. In the manga she's at the top of the Kunoïchi class, despite being shit at lots of physical stuff (or so it is presented as such in the manga).

I bet Ino and Hinata who were in the same promotion could wipe her in every physical class.

Yet, she was the first in her class, and was placed in Team 7, made of heavy hitters and people with tons of Jutsu, and eventually uses (part of) her talents to become a medic.

I'm not really satisfied by it.

For me, if she was at the top of her class it should show better in all her skills (and remember her parents are Chuunin in the Canon, so that would explain why she's as good as Clan kids.)

I saw many BAMF Sakura rewriting her with lots of good (and less good) ideas, among them were:

• Actually training her in Genjutsu (this skill not reallly developed in the manga at all)
• Water jutsu
• Earth jutsu
• Using her proto-medicine skills to train her into an assassin
• Poison
• etc.

What would be a good skill set for Sakura if she really had been developed as she should have? Also if she really was trained by a teacher and not left to fend for herself by her sensei ?

Naruto notices Hinata constantly following him. He wonders why she’s doing that. The only other instance of girls following a boy he knows about is Sasuke’s fan girls. But there’s no way Hinata is his fan girl, she’s out of his league.

He then remembers the masked Anbu agent. When he was much younger they were far more overt. Their presence became subtler as he got older but he always knew they were present in some capacity watching him.

He concludes that Hinata must be a new Anbu agent assigned to monitor him at all times since she wouldn’t arouse suspicion as a kid his age.

He confronts Hinata over this. She embarrassingly goes along with the lie viewing as a way of saving face.

Naruto is ecstatic to have his own Anbu agent following him. He believes he’s closer in his goal of becoming Hokage since only important people have Anbu agents following him.

He also believes Hinata must be a super strong ninja and her underperformance in class was simply an act to feign weakness. She also acts gloomy and insecure to divert eyes from her so she can remain discreet.

Hinata (barely holding back tears) confirm this. Naruto doesn’t notice the look on her face congratulating himself on being smart enough to figure it out.

Hinata now has to fake being an Anbu agent.

Bonus: Naruto’s actual Anbu patrol sees this and adopts Hinata as a little sister to help her out finding this funny and long shipping her with Naruto from seeing her follow him everywhere.

It all started in the missions office, team seven, mainly Kakashi, picked out a few D-ranks for the day, a across was passed for Naruto to read to his teammates.

"Oh, I can't read."

"And why not?"

"It's not in braille."

"Naruto, braille is for blind people."

"I am blind, Sakura."

"What?"

"You though I keep my eyes closed for no reason?"

Naruto opened his eyes to reveal two pale blue eyes that lacked pupils.

"See? Ain't shit there."

"Was that a pun?"

"Yes it was."

"Wait, if you're blind...how'd you get past the academy?!"

"Spite."

"How do you fight?!"

"Changes in the air currents, seismic sensing, and generally good hearing."

"What do you mean, good hearing?"

"I could be 6 miles away from your house and I'd know what everyone in it was doing."

"That's disturbing.."

"You get used to it."

"I don't wanna get used to it."

"That's fair."

"Sasuke, did you know about this?!"

"About what?"

"Were you not paying attention?!"

"I don't know why you're getting so up and arms about Sasuke not hearing us."

"And why's that?"

"He's partially deaf."

"What?!"

"Yea, he's your crush, Sakura you're supposed to know this."

"How would I know that?!"

"There's a reason I always talk loud when I'm telling him stuff."

"Oh.."

"Right."

"Wait, Kakashi did you know about this?"

"Yea, but honestly, I just forgot."

"Am I the only one out of the three of us without some kind of disability?"

"Probably, but you never know, that could change."

"That sounds like a threat."

The book of the dead in the underworld was the only thing that the shinigami himself feared.

Constantly balancing a budget of souls to counter the ticking clock of its existence against it.

Naruto offers to erase the name of the shinigami bound to the mask off that book in exchange for a deal.

The shinigami has not confidence in this plan but agrees anyway and tells Naruto his true name.

Naruto succeeds, erasing his own name, his wife's and the shinigami from the book.

I know there are several fics where Ebisu is a good teacher. I donlt necessary want a story with him as an MC, but I'd like him to be an important character.

Re-read *Trial By Ninja* recently.

Just finished rewatching Shippuden and I am, as always, so mad at the shinobi system. Does anyone know of a fic in which Naruto actually reflects on the corruptness of his government and the harm it has caused him? He doesn't need to become a revolutionary necessarily (although it would be so cool), just rethink his worldviews a bit lol

NGL... I'm kinda hate it that fan fiction forgot that Hiruzen isn't a kindly school principal... He's a military dictator who is not above killing those "civilian council" Member who getting out of the line....

He wouldn't say things like mercy or whatever Dumbledore usually said about sparing his opponent... All he said is "it's a shameful waste" Before going for the kill, either by order or with his own hand

I don‘t think anyone’s thought of this but a part of me is wondering what would happen if Orochimaru revived Rin with the Edo tensei to mess with Kakashi.

Orochimaru knows the leaf wouldn’t let Sasuke go so easily especially Kakashi so he revives Rin to distract the copy ninja. While it certainly would catch him off guard but this leads to a strange situation for Obito.

Just think about it for a sec. Obito did everything he did to see Rin thanks to the eye of the moon plan. But with Rin resurrected how would he react to someone he’d view as a traitor doing something like this? If Kakashi finds a way for Rin to stay afterwards would Obito abandon his plan? confused? Angry? Sad? theirs so much that can be done with this. And if he doesn’t you’d think he hunt after Orochimaru for disgracing Rins memory? Angry at Kakashi even more for “failing to save Rin again” it’s a damed if you do and Damed if you don’t situation

I'll admit I had some assistance from AI chats (don't judge me) to see all the flaws between every or most Naruto harem fics. I asked what the realistic scenario would be if Naruto had a harem with these women specifically: Koyuki, Haruna, Toki, Tsukino, Shion, Shizuka, and Hinata, and all I got from it was political. Yes, I know it's one of the most or least cliche Naruto harem plots, but hear me out, this political marriage was only built because Naruto could have an old one-time thing/fling/flame with these women (minus Toki and Hinata), and after days of trying to figure out how not to make this the whole point of this fic, I remembered a Naruto x Kurotsuchi fic called Hōrō-sha by CschMan20 https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11797520/0/, and it was about Naruto taking a year- or more-long journey with Kurotsuchi, traveling village to village, and coming back to Konoha for Naruto to finally become Hokage.

I forgot what exactly they were doing traveling from village to village, but I'm taking inspiration from it instead of Kurotsuchi; it’s Shikamaru and Hinata joining Naruto.

My specific and final problem is coming up with this mission that'll complete Naruto's journey to become Hokage, have Shikamaru be his assistant, give Hinata the strength and courage to be Naruto's equal and future first lady of Konoha, and have those two be new elders of Konoha (idk if it works like that). And to also give Shikamaru and Hinata a purpose for this mission and make them actually feel like a team.

I have nothing for Shikamaru, so I kind of need assistance for that, and for Hinata's purpose, I'm thinking she overhears the clan elders talking about branding Hinata with the caged bird seal, and out of desperation and inwardly begging for Naruto to be her savior again, she joins the mission to expand her time and comes back a changed person and fights Hiashi and/or the elders for clan head.

This is just Act 1 of the fic.

So idk how to start it. What is the objective of this mission? I need ideas, please.

Found and read Ricochet by strix. Pretty great fic, doesn't get recommended much nowadays, but seemed to be very popular ca. 10 years ago. Any fics like that?

I remember this fic where Sakura was sent to intern at T and I during the academy days. I think if I remember correctly, her and Ino are still friends and Ino ends up going to Genma, I think. Anyways, Sakura starts by helping Inoichi, then some time through her internship she has a contract “under” Shikaku. Fast forward a little bit and most of clans + Sakura are at a get together. The kids end up playing a game called “Wolf and Sheep,” I think. Shikamaru is actually jealous of Sakura because she has managed to get the attention of Shikaku, aka Shikamaru’s dad. So, Shikamaru starts out being the Wolf and has managed to get everyone except Ino and Sakura. Sakura decides that Ino would probably have a better chance of escaping Shikamaru, so Sakura yells Shikamaru’s name when she is in a tree. A couple minutes later, Shikamaru is upset, so he uses his Clan Kekkei Genkai and ends up making Sakura fall off of the tree (she was pretty high up). Sakura then ends up crying and Ino comes to console. I don’t actually remember if it tagged with Shikamaru x Sakura, but I am pretty sure it is.

"So Uh what uh...what happens when your body can't handle the 10 tails?" Naruto asks as B is getting his beast taken out added to the statue.

Pain blinked "What?"

"Well you're... this." Gesturing to the emaciated corpse of a man Pain was "I'm young, I'm fit, I've got a Eight Trigram seal...maybe...you put the 10 tails in My seal and I'll do the plan! Why risk it?"

"That...is actually a good idea." Pain says "Change of plans we put the stone in the Eight Trigram and then it sucks up the fox."

Or with Obito:

"I mean whats saying you can hold it? Your an Uchiha? Kurama was put in me because no other clan can hold the fucker and if the 10 tails is stronger...maybe you wanna put that ten tails somewhere safe? I'll make sure you and Rin get back together in the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"That actually is a good idea. Here." Obito says

*uses the illusion to make Obito experience season one Sakura wearing Rin's face forever*

MCUxNaruto

During their battle with Kaguya, Team 7 is transported to Central Park..Shield engages them. The events in the MCU happens during Avengers. The plot will continue all the way to the events of Endgame and on

Let me know your thoughts. I'm almost finished with my outline and I have chapter one written.

The one speaking here is a clone of Naruto from six years old who escaped the leaf and ashuras influence but got sent to the new continent by a spacetime anomaly 3years before kaguya got serious

"80% of the population is involved in the production and development of the Empire, with the remaining 20% being military

Now, just so you know the total Native population from HomeWorld is now 8 Trillion and it could have been more if we did not call Someone A native based on their Place of birth and when i say more i mean 10 times more if place of birth did not matter

But it does matter in the scale of things right now, Naruto, do you know what kind of position im in ryt now? Hmm, I am the leading teacher in the Capital of the Empire's Academy, and not as an empty title too. I have been a teacher for 2% of the empire's military and production or expert personnel, higher-ups for the past millennia. I became a sage with the goal of being an immortal so i could time-travel

and if that still does not click immediately to you how the past hundreds of years have been for me then i must tell you i have authorised the deploymment of my students to newly discovered dimensions and some of them were as predatory as they were deceptive with some of them dying young at the ages of 20+ and i had to be the one to tell their parents the bad news because at first they were my students but throughout the years they became my family

it may not seem like much to you but you have to know among them was my youngest daughter Rose, in an Archeology expedition she was blitzed through time in a dimension we thought was safe for archeology but no, archeology was the danger. Even with the entire civilization gone, I might not get my daughter back as she is lost through time, and I'm too weak to save her

Nope this isn't a complaint about konoha getting glazed but the opposite.

Give your best(or even mid[hell i would take even bad at this point]) fanfics where everything goes well for konoha, where they are glazed as fuck, where the evil villages(aka I don't like iwa and kidnappers kumo) gets matched by the average konoha ninja and btfo by the konoha mains, where people who are supposed to be dead/left the village stay, are alive and are loyal to konoha and just make the village even stronger.

Bonus points: alternative world/reality, doesn't follow canon, is just a power fantasy where konoha is the power.

Legendary bonus points: is actually a good/interesting/fun world and characters that make the setting don't seem ridiculous and the villains getting btfo is actually interesting and fun because they are hateable or something.

Omega giga bonus points: is writting like a serious/dramatic/deep story(but konoha is still top of the top dogs)

Thank you fellas, I will be reading your suggestions! so thank you again!

PS: it doesn't have to strictly follow what I wrote, if you jave good fanfics where konoha is decidedly the strongest village and it gets show in the fanfic i'll take it.

edit: time travels/fix its that somewhat touch on this premise are also a go

So in my AU project, I'm changing some things from Akatsuki for a bit. Certain members will be stronger and more threatening. There's two new members (a movie antagonist and an OC). Both of which I'll keep close to my chest for now. The OC, in particular, I already made a complete profile with. So my final setup will consist of twelve members.

• Regular Lineup (9) - Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Kisame, Itachi, Kakuzu, Sasori, Deidara, the Movie Character

• Unofficial (2) - Tobi (unknown benefactor/secret leader like in Canon) and the OC (a "reserve member" due to being an assassin so they'll be acting in the shadows)

My issue is that I'm struggling for the last of the regular lineup. I'm sure you noticed that Hidan was gone. I have plans for him and he can't be in the Akatsuki for it so he got the boot. I could have just finalized this one but I feel like I can still fit in another spot and was just asking for potential candidates. Anyone you have in mind?

Any ideas would be appreciated, thank you.

Itachi killed his best friend/comrade to awaken the Mangekyō, massacred his own clan, and pushed Sasuke toward hatred by telling him to kill his best friend for power. From the very beginning, Sasuke’s character is defined by his struggle between following Itachi’s path or rejecting it, because to him Itachi represented the ultimate form of evil.

Despite his obsession with revenge, Sasuke repeatedly chose bonds over hatred. In the Land of Waves arc, he risked his life to save Naruto from Haku. During the Chūnin Exams, he was constantly willing to sacrifice himself to protect his comrades. When Itachi returned to the Leaf, Sasuke’s reaction was, “I won’t let him take my family again,” showing that his instinct was still to protect, not destroy.

After being mentally tortured by Itachi, Sasuke briefly considered following Itachi’s ideology and killing Naruto for power. Yet he stopped himself, saying, “I’ll gain power in my own way.” Even after leaving the village, Sasuke maintained a no kill policy, which directly contrasted with Itachi slaughtering the Uchiha clan. When confronting Orochimaru, Sasuke even compared him to Itachi, someone who pursued power at the cost of human lives, and expressed disgust toward that mentality.

That’s why the truth about Itachi completely shattered Sasuke’s worldview. The man Sasuke believed to be pure evil turned out to be a martyr who sacrificed everything for the village and peace. This revelation became the true beginning of Sasuke’s character development. At first, his hatred simply shifted toward Danzo, the elders, and the Leaf itself. But eventually, he began trying to understand why Itachi chose sacrifice over family, and why he accepted being hated for the sake of others.

Sasuke ultimately internalized Itachi’s self sacrificial ideology and tried to become a lone martyr himself someone who would carry the world’s hatred alone to create peace. In many ways, his final ideology was a darker reflection of Itachi’s life. Naruto’s role was to finally break Sasuke out of that cycle and show him that peace built on isolation and suffering is fundamentally flawed.

That’s why the Itachi twist is so important to Sasuke’s arc. If Itachi had truly been pure evil, Sasuke’s development after his death would likely have been far simpler and less layered. Sasuke would have just achieved revenge and either returned to the village or continued descending into darkness. The moral and ideological conflict that defines his character after Itachi’s death would not exist, because Sasuke’s entire worldview depends on the contradiction between the monster he hated and the martyr Itachi actually was.

Sasuke, Kakashi, and Sakura, all stared at the woman beside Naruto, she was older than him with red hair and weird eyes, and she was glaring daggers at them.

"Naruto, can you tell her not to glare at us please."

"Makima! You're scaring them!"

"My apologies, Naruto, but I simply don't like them."

"You don't like anyone in this village!"

"Quite the contrary, I like you, and you're someone."

"Awe, you're just saying that."

"Believe me, I am not, I would kill everyone in this village if you asked me to."

"Naruto, please don't let her do that."

"Awe that's so sweet!"

"Naruto! That wasn't a sweet-"

"Don't you tell at him again."

"Yes ma'am.."

"Damn, she shut Sakura down fast, not even Sasuke can do that."

"Naruto, do you like dogs?"

"Yea, they're nice."

"Great, because I have a dog."

"What's his name?"

"It's Denji, I think you two would get along great."

"Sounds awesome!"

Okay here's how it works:

Naruto throws a seal wrapped around a kunai and makes a sign "Domain Expansion: [Name]" and suddenly manifests a cage match in the cage holding the 9 tailed fox with golden chains dangling from the ceiling [ha the Ceiling of the seal. The Seal the ceiling]

I'm workshopping it but basically Domain Expansions are the Uzumaki Clan techniques like the Nara Shadow Possession or Ino's Mind Transference. This shit is supposed to be the: Apex of the Uzumaki's Sealing and Barrier techniques.

Just give a name for this one and ideas you guys have that would fit Naruto.
