Hello! I was hoping to request something for Gaara with his wife reader? Like them making up from their first real argument and it gets NSFW?

needy—

tags: suggestive content, 18(+), slight nsfw, naruto, gaara x fem!reader, short & sweet, anon request

creator notes: sorry this is for one, so short! and for two, sorry it took me a little while to respond/finish! i started writing it and was several paragraphs in before i realized i was writing something else completely unrelated to your request so i had to start over aaaaa!!!! so so sorry about that but i hope you enjoy! thanks for requesting!

It didn’t take a genius to figure out he had been avoiding you. Anytime you’d reach for his hand, he’d pull away just far enough so you didn’t touch him. And when he did let you touch him, during any moment of intimacy, he broke all of it off after mere moments. Claiming he was tired and needed to go to bed early for some meeting in the morning.

You had been married to Gaara for a year or so now so it wasn’t as if you two were teenagers sneaking around anymore. It was frustrating but mostly strange to you. His actions made you second guess yourself. What if he was rethinking your relationship? What if he was falling out of love for you? So many emotions and thoughts ran through your head on the daily but today you were getting answers. Even if it was going to be a hard pill to swallow you had to know what was being done wrong.

And as soon as he got home from his work that day, you confronted him.

“Welcome home. We need to talk,” You say, trying your best to put on a brave face and voice.

Gaara looks at you with his usual gentle face. He’s hesitant for a moment, as if he knows what is coming, before he settles into a chair at the kitchen table.

“What’s been going on recently?” You ask. His eyes avoid you. Shame written on his face.

“It’s nothing,” Gaara whispers. His colder tone makes your gut twist.

“Nothing?” You scoff. “I think avoiding me for as many days as you have been isn’t ‘nothing’.” You mutter, irritated.

Silence falls between you two. Which is not unusual but this silence is painful. Thick and suffocating. Not the usual calming, healing silence you two share. This silence made your heart race far too fast.

“Is it me?” You ask in the coldest tone you can muster. “Have I done something wrong? Am I not enough?” You speak harsh words. Yet they’re the words that have haunted the back of your thoughts for days now. Souring the image of yourself inside and out.

Gaara jerks at the words. He looks at you in pure disbelief as if he can’t understand what you mean. “No-“

He tries to stop you but the floodgates have already opened. All of your feelings and your thoughts pour out of your mouth like rainwater. Tears fall when you try your best to will them away but it doesn’t help. You sob into your hands as Gaara moves to your side.

He’s no longer hesitant as he wraps his arms around you. Lifts you into his chest in a warm embrace. Hugs you so gently it makes you hiccup.

“I’m sorry,” He mumbles into your hair. Apologizing like his life depended on it. He smooths loose strands of your hair away from your face. Wipes the tears from your cheeks and eyelids. All while he kisses the crown of your head. It was more affection you’ve received from him in weeks and it damn near broke your heart all over again. “I’m so sorry.”

You quiet your sobs. Breathing in deep in the hopeful comfort of your husband’s arms. One of his hands moves to clasp at your neck, using a finger against your jaw to lift your gaze to his.

“It’s not you.” He whispers. A kiss is placed on your forehead. “You’re amazing. Truly perfect, my dear.” He adds with a quiet chuckle. His thumbs swipe across your cheeks to collect whatever trail was left behind by your tears.

You sniffle. You must look like a horrible mess right now but it doesn’t stop him from kissing you. As if a fire has broken out inside of him, he kisses you with every ounce of passion he’s ever had. Tears threaten to spill once again at the first kiss you’ve two have shared in such a long time but he pulls away before that can happen.

“I want you so bad.” Gaara admits with a shy look on his face. His thumb swipes across your bottom lip. “From the moment I wake up, I want you more than anything,” He whispers under his breath as he soothes circles into your skin. Touching you so delicately like you might disappear. “It scares me how badly I want you. And I’m…just nervous my feelings will run wild and I’ll end up—hurting you.” He mumbles, glancing away from your gaze.

You suddenly realize he means the sentient sand that is always at his disposal. Sand that acted on its own sometimes and he was so worried about it hurting you he tried to keep his distance. All because of his love for you.

Your own emotions overcome you as you kiss him in response. Arms wrapping around his neck with ease as his own wrap around your waist. And now he holds onto you for dear life. Touching every inch of your skin he has so desperately craved but had been so hesitant to reach for. All while kissing you like it might be the last time. Passionate, eager, and hungry.

You two had some catching up to do.

“To bed?” You mouth against his lips between kisses.

He breaks ever so slightly, a red blush to match his hair spreads across his face. “Are you sure?” He responds. Shy even as his hands, body, and soul yearns to devour you.

God you loved him.

“Oh, I’m more than sure.” You whisper, capturing his lips once more.

Without another word, Gaara is pushing you along to your shared bedroom. Eager to make up for his wrongdoings by giving you enough pleasure to make you forget every negative feeling you've ever imagined.

Shippuden Rewrite Idea: What role I would have given to Anko in Shippuden

Let's be real to ourselves. Out of all the characters, who were done the most dirty (leaving the likes of the entire Hyuga clan, Kiba, Sasuke, pretty much the ENTIRE cast of Boruto, and a huge chunk of the female characters aside), Anko is the one, where the bad writing decisions, and therefore downright STAGGERING pile of missed opportunities, really shine through the most. Because, I dunno about you guys, but, the way Sasuke was written in Shippuden, I get it, he is supposed to be this lonely wolf, who is walking his own path, and doesn't take crap from anybody, not even his own team, and considering how corrupted Konoha is, from the ground up, with the likes of Danzo, and the Kage, having practically ENABLED said snake man, his actions make sense.

However, what bothers me, after a few rewatches...

...Sasuke is barely openly humanized, before Itachi's passing. The best way I can describe it, is that, it feels like, the author was just being edgy and angsty with him, for the sake being edgy and angsty. And that was a constant, by the way. Barely reacting to anything, always having this overfixated drive for his goals, and having this attitude of "fuck everyone else, my goal is more important", and yes, I understand. His backstory. But COME. ON. This just looks ridiculous after a while, man. If the only ounce of emotion a character can show, is always the same, stupid deadpan stare, having this "Fuck all of you" face, 24/7, never letting up, always putting on a mask around everyone, wouldn't you assume that, around Team Hebi, Sasuke would definitely show more cracks, as he WANTS to put faith in them, the same way Team 7 did with him, before his departure? Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but whenever I saw Sasuke on-screen in Shippuden, pre-Kage Summit, I just couldn't take him seriously. Tragic backstory or not, this is frankly embarrassing. Even other characters of a similar archetype like Sasuke, in other forms of media, have strong moments of humanity, showing definitive cracks in their facade (best examples I can name, is Shadow the Hedgehog, Jin Kazama, Siegfried Schtauffen, Robby Keene, Anakin Skywalker, Iori Yagami, even they showed emotion and humanity, even in their angstiest of phases), but Sasuke on the other hand, leaving the fight with Itachi aside, he barely ever emotes beyond that deadpan expression and occasional scowling, even during moments of dealing with the antics of his own teammates. And this comes from an unapologetic Sasuke supporter here, before some of you morons in the fandom assume that I am hating on him. I am not. I am calling Kishimoto an idiot here, that's all. Especially for humiliating Sasuke's character, after Shippuden.

So, the question of the hour arises:

How does Anko play into all of this?

Simple. The solution I am presenting here:

Turn her into a spy, that shall not only follow Team Hebi around to find out what Sasuke is really up to, keeping Team 7 up to speed, but to also watch over Sasuke, and letting his teammates know, he is doing OK, because I headcanon that, outside of Team 7, Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba, Anko also deeply cares about him, and with her it's even more special, because, since both had the same teaching figure, she more than understands and sympathizes with his course of action, way more than most people. And she had always been Pro Team Uchiha, even with Tobirama's and Danzo's discriminatory actions committed towards them, as she was one of the few, who NEVER bought into it, because like the Uchiha, she was also tossed aside like trash by both her teacher, and the village. Brownie points are definitely there.

Especially, if we keep in mind how knowledgeable Anko is about her former sensei, considering that, after learning of how Sasuke "killed" Orochimaru, Anko should know that, he cannot be killed that easily. And as we saw later, during Sasuke's fight with Itachi, that death was FAR from permanent, since he revived himself through Sasuke's Curse Mark. Which, by the way, has the exact same bodily line pattern as her own Curse Mark. That thing could function as her personal radar to track him down, as Orochimaru's influence did cause her major discomfort, as her Curse Mark was reacting to his presence, whenever he was closeby. So yeah, she is what Sonic saw in Longclaw. A guardian angel for Sasuke.

They have the same flame-like pattern.

And to be absolutely foolproof, knowing how unpredictable Sasuke has become, Anko decides to master the arts of Sage jutsu. And to do this, she ventures to the Ryūchi Caves to meet the White Snake Sage, and attain Snake Sage Mode, something that not even Orochimaru was truly capable of attaining on his own time, because his body wasn't cut out for the final task. But Anko succeeds, because the Curse Mark he gave her, functions like a "tunnel" of sorts to make the absorption process of the Sage chakra a lot more palpatable and bearable. And there you go, what do we get? This.

For anyone interested in wanting to see, how I would have written the process for Anko on how she ends up attaining Snake Sage mode, take a look here:

Now, much like Orochimaru, Anko is practically semi-immortal, Sasuke can dish out any fatal blow that he can think of, it's no use. She cannot be killed that easily anymore, and because she is very stubborn and persistant, essentially making her Naruto, if he was female, NOW ON STEROIDS, BECAUSE OF SNAKE SAGE MODE, I doubt she would ever leave, well enough alone, when she got an edgy dork like Sasuke on her radar.

In fact, I just realized, Anko's role here would also provide genuine comedic relief, that also humanizes Sasuke in the process, to make us, the audience, and Team 7 understand that, at the end of the day, much like Naruto, Sasuke didn't exactly change in those past three years, as she would spill the information to them on what she saw. Even after departing from Konoha, he still remains the same brooding, emo Uchiha dork, who keeps unintentionally hitting all of the checkmarks for being a drama queen. Oh, those Uchiha and their knack for loving Shakespearean dramatics. Let's not lie to ourselves, even with this traumatic shit he had to bear witness to, deep down, he had always remained that lonely, angsty wolf in Shippuden, even if the story would not dare to show, because "it would take away from the immersion", whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. Because I don't see how openly humanizing an edgelord character accounts for "taking away from the experience", since stuff like this, gets really tiring after a while, especially if this the ONLY thing you see with them. Most unnecessary melodrama is removed, because Anko provides us with important info, and keeps the team up-to-date. Win-win, if you ask me.

But, since Anko does strike me as a woman, who would go there...

...in order to get the information out of her, she is more than willing to openly share it with Kakashi...

...under the condition that...

...he is man enough to listen to her sultry voice and pervy scenarios, that she forces upon his Icha Icha Paradise-ridden mind. Even flirting with him on the phone, as she takes a hot bath, teasing him by telling him to join her, if he is man enough to get... the real thing, instead of being stuck to his pervy romance novels. She can be his romance. This woman knows her business.

And because she is a little bit of a sadist, she may end up trolling Sakura about Karin, making her initially believe that "Sasuke might be taken", before then reminding her: No, he is not. In fact, he always seemed openly uncomfortable being touched by Karin, due to her unhinged Uzumaki attitude, being a whirlpool of emotions, and pervy thoughts. I just find this hilarious, Anko has all of Team 7 in a chokehold about Sasuke. And once they learn, he hasn't exactly changed, they might comically grow very disappointed about him...

...and even from far away, Sasuke will FEEL their disappointment, it's just a goldmine of genuine comedy, mixed in with wholesomeness from genuine bonds being kept alive, and new ones being formed. All thanks to her.

Yup, Kakashi and Anko shippers, you can have a field day with this one, too.

And well, through Anko, we can even learn more about Sasuke's teammates, because she can dig up information about them, and feed them to Kakashi, just in case. Suigetsu, Karin and Jugo are all in the same boat as Sasuke and Anko. I swear, am I the only one who thinks:

Anko must become the sensei of Suigetsu, Karin and Jugo?

Imagine that for a minute. It makes way too much sense. And since she is a good person with maternal instincts, she would definitely treat these three like family, unlike what Orochimaru merely viewed them as: Assets.

So yeah, here you go. Not only did I just make Anko a heck of a lot more interesting, and a proper lense for the viewer to closely observe Sasuke, behind the scenes, where she closely observing his quirks and eccentricities (until the fight with Itachi, at least, where she may lose his trail completely, because of Obito using his Mangekyo to teleport Sasuke out of there), but also mended an issue that was plaguging early-Shippuden Sasuke. Making him less of a plot device that just drives the plot forward, and more of a guy that is merely trying to do his best, unable to move on from his old teammates. It makes it way easier to root for, and understand him too, even early on (even while keeping the stuff with the elders and Konoha in mind).

I hope you have a great day, now go on. Let me know what you think.

PEACE.

Puppet-Style Prosthetics

As part of my Shippuden rewrite, Team Kurenai accompanies Team Kakashi on the Kazekage Rescue Arc. Sasori's blades amputate Akaramaru's foreleg, and Kiba stays in the Sand for a while so that Kankurō can teach him how to construct prosthetics utilizing chakra strings...

Another pivotal step on Kiba's journey toward becoming a medic

Reposting because I noticed how absolutely bad I drew one thing TToTT

I've been feeling super overwhelmed recently because of a loot of things in my life,,, so I went back to my roots and drew Naruto in my clothes

My Kofi

[thedepressedjuggalette]

Okay I've seen SEVERAL "Rewriting Sakura" (or just outright rewriting the anime/manga in it's entirety) videos to bring her up to and on par with Naruto and Sasuke but a LOT of them require already knowing the cast and keeping the power scaling of the show which I find to be the worst part of Naruto as a whole.

Hear me out because if we want to rewrite Sakura but also rewrite the anime/manga we need to address the power scaling because it will help keep Sakura, Tenten, the Hyuga clan, Lee, etc. relevant and make them more interesting.

If you like the following ideas go ahead and use them for whatever fanfic you wish to write, and let me see them.

Now let's get started...

The way Naruto ended up working in Shippuden when it comes to its power system is fucking bullshit. I refuse to hear otherwise because it just shits on any remotely interesting characters and the Hyuga clan which was supposed to be better than Uchiha when it comes to the whole Dojutsu, so we need to change the power scaling.

The power scaling in canon is thus: the more chakra you have, the stronger you are. The better kekegenkai you have the stronger you are. The better chakra release you have the stronger you are. And the better jutsu you have, the stronger you are. And if you have Kurama you're better than all the tailed beasts combined, fuck everything else.

That is it. That is how Naruto and Naruto Shippuden works and how it still works. This doesn't even go into the whole Ninja Jesus and Ninja God who gave Chakra to the earth bullshit with flying aliens.

So we need to correct this boring as fuck bullshit.

Unlike Kishimoto, I've had time to think about all of this so here is my solution:

Resource Management.

Yeah. That's it, when you really think about it. We treat Chakra the way videogames treat Mana.

You manage your resources and in this conceptual rewrite, we have it that Chakra is a resource that everyone has to manage.

You can have all the chakra in the world but if you need to use twice as much chakra to use one basic jutsu you're not going to last long in the fight.

The better your resource management, the longer you last in the fight.

The longer you last in a fight, the higher the chance you can outlast your opponent.

But the more control you have over your resources, the more malleable it becomes.

So in lammens terms:

Better chakra control -> less chakra spent on jutsu -> more chakra natures you can unlock -> more jutsu.

Yes, I'm opening up all chakra natures to all Shinobi but with one restriction.

Chakra natures simply starts out as basic affinities, some are kekegenkai but even then that doesn't mean that someone else can unlock those chakra natures. Here is how it works, and I'm going to use Sakura and the Senju Clan as an example.

Wood release is a specialty of the Senju Clan, it relies on both water and earth release, however we only see Hashirama use Wood Release.

Tobirama only uses Water Release.

Tsunade doesn't use any release.

Sakura is stated to have an affinity for Water and Earth Release, and has canonically unlocked Fire Release just so she could marry Sasuke.

So how does this work in this new system? Simple: Tobirama chose not to learn any Earth and Wood Release techniques out of a rivalry with Hashirama. Tsunade had no interest in learning any release and simply chose to master Medical Ninjutsu.

This also means that since Sakura surpasses Tsunade in chakra control, she can easily unlock Wood Release.

Speaking of Chakra Control....

Here is how the hierarchy of Chakra Control and the basic releases that they will inevitably unlock with practice:

1.) Basic Shinobi (academy students to Chunin)

-> Natural Affinity release and basic academy techniques.

2.) Jonin

-> Natural Affinity release, basic academy techniques, along with unlocking 1 or 2 release types that are close in nature to their initial release type.

Example: Sasuke has Fire Release, fire is a type of plasma, lightning is just inoized plasma. Lightning Release is thus a far more concentrated sister of Fire Release.

3.) Fuinjutsu

Fuinjutsu is the art of sealing techniques. Sealing things into scrolls and summoning them. This is Tenten's specialty aside from her Kenjutsu.

-> Natural Affinity release, basic academy techniques, sealing and summoning techniques, along with unlocking 2-3 release types that are close in nature to their initial release type.

4.) Genjutsu

-> Natural Affinity release, basic academy techniques, sealing and summoning techniques, illusion based techniques, along with unlocking 3-4 release types.

5.) Medical Ninjutsu

-> Natural Affinity release, basic academy techniques, sealing and summoning techniques, illusion based techniques, medical Ninjutsu along with unlocking all chakra natures.

HOWEVER:

here is the restriction I mentioned earlier.

The Shinobi has to CHOOSE as to whether or not they even WANT to expand their reach with chakra natures and if they even want that diverse of a kit.

Using Tobirama as an example, it never made sense that he is related to Hashirama, Wood Release was stated to be a kekegenkai but he never, not once, used a fucking Wood Release Jutsu, ONLY Water Release.

The same argument goes for Tsunade. She is the granddaughter and niece of those two guys and didn't have one Wood Release Jutsu, not one Water or Earth Style Jutsu.

This means that if we want to keep Tobirama and Tsunade as restricted as they are in the source material, we have it that it takes a LOT of skill and mastery to to diversify one's kit. And the earlier list is just a natural progression of chakra natures if the Shinobi so chooses. The door is there, it is just waiting for someone to open it.

Now let's get to the tailed beasts who were fucking boring because they all had the same skills in the war arc and the bullshit number of tails thing:

In this conceptualized rewrite I'm thinking that the Tailed Beasts should all be figuratively equal in power, territorial, and have their own specific benefits when it comes to the reason for their capture and relationships with the Shinobi villages and lands.

So let's go through the list:

1.) Shukaku:

A Hyena and Tanuki mix. Creates an eternal Sandstorm that surrounds Suna. Shinobi and civilians in/from Suna are "blessed" with the ability to travel to and from Suna without hindrance. Magnet Release is more likely to appear in the village. Eternal insomnia for their Jinchiruiki (eats away at their host's mind via nightmares and bloodlust -- psychologically torturing them) all the while possessing their Jinchiruiki.

Shukaku can change their own gender whenever they want. They purposely changed their gender to female just to manipulate Gaara when he was a child. Yes, Shukaku is that much of an asshole.

2.) Matabi:

Grants villagers and Shinobi general knowledge and curiosity. Pest Control (usual pest animals avoid the village, villagers, and Shinobi). Shinobi and Villagers naturally know all the cardinal directions and which way is up and down even when incapacitated. Storm Release is more likely to appear in the village. Only hangs around Gyuki because of all the fish.

3.) Isobu:

Surrounds the village in a mist that has an automatic Genjutsu to protect the village -- this led the Shinobi and Villagers from the Hidden Mist to have an extreme resistance to Genjutsu. Boil Release is more likely to appear in the village. In a symbiotic relationship with Saiken.

4.) Goku

Protects Shinobi and Villagers from natural disaster (even in their travels). Blessed the village with an abundance of minerals. Magma Release is more likely to appear in the village.

5.) Kokuō

Is a mountain goat. Grants Villagers and Shinobi the ability to walk up anything that is at a 90° angle WITHOUT USING CHAKRA, extreme endurance. Earth Release is extremely common.

6.) Saiken

Blesses the Villagers and Shinobi with protection from parasites (they can drink from ANY water source and not get sick). Corrosion Release -- a kekei tora wind/water/fire -- more likely to appear. (Acid spit and bubbles etc.) In a symbiotic relationship with Isobu.

7.) Chomei:

Is a giant queen bee. Has a hive. Blessed the Villagers and Shinobi with an abundance of pollinators (bees, butterflies, wasps, etc.) thus leading to an abundance of crops, medical herbs etc. Gives access to a chakra enhancing and healing honey. Wood Release is more likely to appear.

8.) Gyuki:

Blessed the villagers and Shinobi with safe travels and shipping in the waters, abundance of sea life. Produces ink. Water Release is extremely common. His abundance of sea life is what attracted Matabi much to his chagrin (he secretly likes the company).

9.) Kurama:

Attracts all kinds of animals (this is why the Hidden Leaf has the Inuzuka Clan, Nara Clan, Aburame Clan, and animal summons). Fire Release is extremely common.

With all of this out of the way now we have a fun playground to work with. We can have jinchiruiki (even if they don't know they are jinchiruiki) become extremely uncomfortable and naturally paranoid if they're out of "their territory" and twice as so when in another's territory, which means we can up Gaara's lethality during the Chunin Exams, and make Naruto more hostile towards him.

We can do so much here.

But here is my favorite little thing to add to the story:

No one knows where the tailed beasts came from. They're just there. And unknown to many, people can become tailed beasts... (*Cough* Shukaku *cough* literally was the initial cannon before the Shippuden bullshit retcon.)

------

Moving on to Sakura Haruno we need to change five fundamentals that will eventually apply to her.

1.) Tsunade created the Strength of a 100 Seal.

2.) Tsunade was the first person to ever work with Katsuyu.

3.) The Slug Sage is only a concept.

4.) Sakura only became a Ninja to be able to protect the ones she loves.

5.) Sakura fell out of love with Sasuke the moment he turned his back on the village and tried to kill Naruto.

To up Sakura's usefulness in the beginning of the show, let's have it that she is observant enough to notice Kakashi is playing favorites with Sasuke. So she trains with Naruto much to her own reluctance.

Naruto keeps trying to boost her confidence and teaches her the Shadow Clone Jutsu while she tries to teach him basic Chakra Control. (She can only make one clone but it's a start.)

During the Zabuza Arc, she uses a clone to try to help Naruto and Sasuke but Haku drags that clone and uses and himself as a barrier to block Kakashi's Chidori.

Sakura gains the memories of that clone's death.

This makes her train twice as hard and makes her feel immense regret because she did very little on that mission and couldn't protect Naruto and Sasuke. Yes, she cares for Naruto like a sibling. Those two came out of that fight looking like porcupines, that scared the shit out of her.

She discovers Tsunade in a book in a library and creates a rough theory on to how Tsunade has so much strength.

Can somewhat use a rough concept of it in the Chunin Exams.

Sakura vs Gaara.

Sakura punches Gaara's lights out, causing Shukaku to go on a rampage.

Sasuke Retrieval Arc. Sakura tells Naruto and the others to be careful and that she'd rather them come back alive than having a single one of them dying just to bring back Sasuke. (This shows that she has compassion and empathy).

When Naruto wakes up after the mission she hugs him and cries that she's sorry she was too weak to go on the mission with him and the others, and that she is happy he is alive.

And that's what I have so far.

Okay that's my brain vomit for you. Have fun with it if you want.

Remember, one does not simply punch Madara in the balls. One must punch Madara in the balls with Sakura Strength. (I don't like Sasuke but Madara is worse. He is the edgiest edgy bitch who has ever edged his way into an edge concert just to edge.)

[randomartwork]

Rewriting Naruto part 1

We take out the whole alien god tree and reincarnation. Instead, the ten tails existed way back in prehistoric time and Obito (and by extension Madara) try to bring it back to destroy the world and peace among the people by any means necessary.

The Uzumaki massacre did happen but instead of killing off all uzumaki it shorten their numbers to like a few hundred, but they’re still around

Intern Kushina becomes Hokage like she dreamed and she took Minato’s last name Namikaze

Danzo set up a itachi before he tries his own coo against the leaf village to make himself look good in hopes of killing Hiruzen

Hiruzen sees through his old friend and call him a traitor

Danzo doesn’t get chance after chance he takes a few members of the anbu and makes his own organization (The Root) that plans on trying to take over the village

Intern orochimaru “works” with him giving us those child experiments 

The uchiha clan massacre didn’t happen. Itachi only killed the members in the coalition against the village and since his dad was one of them he had to kill him and his mom. Leave Sasuke to be cared for by his uncle and aunt.

Naruto doesn’t know he’s the Ninetails. When he was born and Obito attacked his dad used transporting Jitsu and left him in a safe place

the akatsuki believe the nine tails is dead and waiting for it to reform and the leaf village thinks the akatsuki has it

[melozy]

✩ would anyone be interested in a BORUTO REWRITE ? (follow this link to read the fic)

here are the major things i'm changing from the series to fit into a more realistic storyline ↴

first, and this is very based, but i dislike boruto's name in general. i know it's an homage to neji's name (which translates to "screw"), and don't get me wrong 'bolt' as a nickname that references both neji and minato's legacy (since the latter was known as the 'yellow flash of konoha') is awesome. but in my story, i've given the main character the name akihiro (ironically known as hiro by his peers) meaning "bright" or "shining" with this kanji variation 明弘 [in which the first one literally translates to "dawn".]

also, it'll help if you read THIS first (a post made by me and my cousin two years ago! and it's only now coming to fruition :>)

other key points where this story diverges from boruto, both in terms of plot, themes, and character dynamics:

akihiro's personality and role

akihiro is much more charismatic and endearing, resembling a "sweet-talker" type who bonds deeply with others rather than boruto’s initial rebellious and aloof nature. he embraces being naruto’s son but struggles with living up to the expectations, rather than rejecting them outright.

this adds complexity to his growth as a leader and makes him more relatable and likable to a wider range of characters.

akihiro is an only child

unlike boruto, akihiro doesn’t have a younger sibling like himawari. this shifts the family dynamic to focus more closely on his relationship with naruto and hinata, highlighting their efforts to guide him without distractions.

it makes akihiro’s journey more introspective and personal, with fewer family members diluting his arc. but this will tie into another plotpoint with sakura and sasuke's kid(s) looking up to him as an older brother figure, so he fulfills that role just as well. the reason i chose not to give him a sibling is because i'm still on the fence about giving akihiro the byakugan since it might be too cliché (but admit it, boruto's and himawari's designs would've looked pretty cool with the eerie edge of the hyuugas' pupil-less eyes). but i have no intention of making naruto pass on kurama to his kids, especially not to akihiro. so, the point of him having a sibling in the timeline where conflict arises pretty early (just after the events of akihiro's birth) is unlikely.

generation gap in konoha 9's children

the children of the original konoha 9 aren’t all the same age.

they were born across a realistic timeline based on their parents’ relationships (e.g., temari and shikamaru’s child is older than sakura and sasuke’s).

the reason for this was pretty much at face value, it just is highly unlikely that all the couples got together and fell pregnant at the same time. maybe some kids are same age but mostly spanning a five year range at minimum. this adds more diverse interactions across generations and avoids the forced "classmates" dynamic that boruto had.

right now i do have the konoha 9's kids figured out. from oldest to youngest, they are [this is during when my story starts, when akihiro is 15]:

shikadai nara (18) > chocho akimichi (17) > akihiro uzumaki (16) > inojin yamanaka (16) > shizumi nara (13) > sarada and souta uchiha (11)

stronger, more varied teammates

akihiro’s teammates are more specialized and powerful compared to boruto’s. yume kazemura, an immigrant from the land of mist with her water style and weapon specialty, and daichi hiiragi, a fire-style ninja with a less prominent earth style. akihiro himself would have wind and lightning style + hyuuga taijutsu — mostly because i wanted to divide each team in a way that balances each other out.

this team is a frontline squad, so their chakra amount and specialty is prominent. it also gives me a reason to make sasuke mentor akihiro later in the story since lightning style seems almost a precursor to space-time jutsu and no other konoha 9 member has an affinity for it.

in any case, their abilities are distinctive and critical in battles, unlike boruto’s team, which felt derivative of naruto’s team 7 and very replicated, in my opinion.

otsutsuki threat introduced as a mystery

a plot point taken from this post (which was actually made by my cousin, who is beta-reading this as we speak!), the otsutsuki threat is revealed gradually through mysterious portals, strange creatures, and sinister chakra bombs, rather than immediately presenting godlike enemies like momoshiki. the slow-burn introduction makes the otsutsuki more terrifying and allows the story to maintain a grounded tone while building tension.

the chakra bomb thing is introduced right after the events of "the last", a few months after naruto and hinata's wedding. a few konoha shinobi en route to kumo for their chunin exams (konohamaru's team being of them), come across a border villager in the land of fire who is on the brink of fever-induced delirium, somehow mid-speech just gives out an insane level of raw chakra pulsing out of his body before collapsing, dead.

the genin team leaders decide to investigate and find that an entire small village on the border was wiped out without a trace of struggle or attack. naturally, fingers are raised towards kumo who really have no clue what's going on. just when it was about to written off as an invasion by the rogue factions, another similar incident takes place in iwagakure. the land of fire and wind being the closest to it are now under fire.

then i plan on introducing a cult who are old regime supremacists (led by disciples of kaguya who were indoctrinated by black zetsu). they believe in the eradication of the non-shinobi factions, a play on the "survival of the fittest" morality. maybe i will integrate the bioengineering and technical development aspect. but it won't be nearly as advanced as the stuff introduced in the boruto universe.

by the time akihiro is 16, strange portals carrying behemoths (think chitauri from avengers, endbringers from worm or even kaiju from pacific rim) into the world open up all across the globe. each nation basically brings a standstill on managing the political uprising to secure their borders, working together to configure who is behind these attacks and where these alien creatures are coming from.

meanwhile, a kaguya cult member reveals the location of a portal leading to the moon base where a fee otsutsuki relics and shrines are found by hiro and his team. while the powerhouses are deployed to deal with the monsters, the village heads are swarmed with cases of riots, fights breaking out between borders and all in all, hostility brewing between the elemental nations.

eventually the behemoth attacks get so frequent and so far apart in distance from one another that it becomes impossible to manage them all — leading to the affected areas being vacated after entire cities are demolished.

this eventually leads to a showdown in the ruins of uzushio where the biggest behemoth shows up, alongside two otsutsuki clan members and most of the alliance is posted there for a drawn out battle.

eventually, after practically wiping the floor with the alliance, the otsutsukis leave but not without the promise of return to plant a chakra tree on earth and to clear it out of tainted blood so the trueborns can thrive in their new paradise. (since humanity right now is a mix of kaguya's blood which gives them control over chakra and human dna — basically, the otsutsuki want to cleanse the world of them and take over the chakra fountain that is earth).

political turmoil between nations

the story will include realistic international tensions among the five great nations. rogue factions, misunderstandings, and betrayals play a critical role in the otsutsuki conflict. everyone with be pointing fingers but due to an established alliance among the kages, no shinobi can act on their convictions without breaking the treaty and being ousted as a stray ninja.

this adds stakes beyond just physical battles, emphasizing the fragile peace post-shinobi war. it also involves side characters from other villages, making the world feel larger and more dynamic.

power scaling is even

the power scaling is balanced, with the konohamaru generation being significantly stronger than akihiro’s due to the chakra bomb conflict arising during their peak as chunin/jounin. while akihiro is talented, he isn’t overpowered like boruto.

battles require teamwork, strategy, and sacrifice. it will also make the older generations more battle-hardened, experienced and will give them knowledge to impart on their charges as sensei. this avoids sidelining older characters and makes fights more engaging. even lower-tier ninjas have meaningful roles (which will be even more prominent during the final battle arc).

akihiro's love interest

now, this is a topic i'm very conflicted on.

on one hand i have this incredible character planned (sayuri ayakami) with seishinkan, a kekkei genkai aligned with the spiritual power of chakra maneuvering. it affects perceptions, health and even can cause/absorb physical blows to an extent for redistribution later. it works on the basis of the very existence of the otsutsuki clan, how they manipulate space-time, dimensional and planetary jutsu.

[she's basically the non-overpowered and very much human version of eida]

akihiro has a unique romantic subplot with sayuri, a character tied to an ancient clan and her own burdens. their bond develops naturally through shared hardships and mutual growth. this romance feels organic and adds emotional stakes. while i have nothing against boruto’s dynamic with sarada, the uchiha-uzumaki thing feels a little overdone.

but this above all is a shounen series that i'm making with emphasis on action and politics in the ninja world. so, i'm not sure how romance will fly in this universe. (what do you all think?)

greater role for older characters

characters like naruto, sasuke, sakura, gaara, shikamaru, the other kages and the previous generation have pivotal roles throughout the story. they don’t fade into the background but instead serve as mentors, fighters, and emotional anchors.

especially during the stand against the monsters and managing the political uproar caused by the kaguya cult. this respects their legacy while highlighting the generational transition, something boruto struggles with.

a new way to beat the otsutsuki

like i said, many characters will play different yet very important role in building up to and even during the final stand against the all-powerful otsutsuki.

minor characters and even less power shinobi from the alliances collectively will help in taking down the enemies bit by bit. humanity’s triumph over the otsutsuki wouldn't rely solely on godlike powers or specific individuals like boruto and kawaki. instead, it will involve strategies and unique abilities from many characters, such as sayuri’s seishinkan severing dimensional ties.

this makes the victory feel earned by everyone, not just a chosen few, and emphasizes teamwork and innovation over brute strength.

sasuke's absence from konoha has a real reason

sasuke’s absence is explained by his investigation of the chakra bomb incidents as he is made to be the prime coordinator of the anbu of konoha and usually the first to respond to impacted locations on short notice due to his rinnegan prowess. it's not just due vague wanderings that's he's not with his family. his return then carries significant weight.

it gives sasuke a clear purpose and enhances his arc while tying into the main story. it also builds on how sarada and souta's dynamics are, and how each twin copes with their dad not being present and mom being busy with her obligations.

this is one of the reasons why they look up to akihiro that much more because akihiro with his natural charm, abilities and ties to the hokage is somewhat popular amount his peers. despite this, he is welcoming towards the uchiha twins and takes them under his wing, sticking up for them and not letting them be turned into social pariahs.

sayuri's seishinkan and her clan

sayuri's seishinkan is a unique spiritual kekkei genkai, not a derivative of the byakugan or sharingan. her clan’s history ties into the otsutsuki invasion and ancient conflicts. this avoids redundancy in bloodline abilities while adding depth to the lore.

villains across all tiers

the otsutsuki threat isn’t limited to godlike figures. generals, zetsu-like soldiers, and mutated creatures provide challenges for all levels of ninja. this ensures that even lower-ranked ninjas and civilians play meaningful roles, unlike in boruto where only top-tier fighters matter.

the pacing of the story

the story spans akihiro’s growth from age 16 to 19, with major arcs that focus on mystery, politics, and personal relationships. the pacing is deliberate, allowing for more character development and emotional moments. this approach feels more cohesive and satisfying compared to boruto’s often disjointed plotlines.

this rewrite creates a more balanced, grounded, and emotionally resonant narrative compared to boruto. it respects the legacy of naruto’s generation, develops a new generation with their own unique abilities and struggles, and introduces the otsutsuki as a nuanced, terrifying threat that can’t simply be punched away.

— NOTES. again, this is simply my take on the poorly faring sequel to naruto, a franchise that deserves to be hailed for it's dynamic worldbuilding and major contribution into shaping what shounen has become today.

if you want me to go in-depth about any of the plot points, feel free to ask in my askbox or comments. i want to start writing this as soon as possible and the more input i get from fellow fans of this universe, the better the end result will be.

Rock Lee design for the polydeuces naruto rewrite in my high contrast style.

[al-hekima-madara-blog]

What if we rewrite Madara as a hero?

We know in Naruto, most villains aren't born this way, they are often the product of their environment and also the consequence of solitude when dealing with hardships.

Kakashi was on the verge of falling in the dark side but was saved by Hiruzen. Oroshimaru was an orphan of war that developed a nihilist vision of life and absence of moral in his scientific approach. Pain is the consequence of forever wars in the Rain village, the lost of his family and his friend. Gaara the absence of love, Sasuke also became briefly mean due to his hate for Itachi and later his hate for the village.

Madara shippuden

Alright so how can we rewrite Madara in order that he doesn't fall for the dark path, while keeping most elements of his life :

If you have read my serie Yin/ Yang part 1 and part 2 you know that Naruto as the MC is strongly a Yang shinobi. Naruto's mind never change. he's always the same exuberant, strong-will and stubborn character. His challenge during the whole manga is to become physically stronger. He started as doing poorly in ninjutsu, learnt by himself shadow clone technique, rasengan, to control Kyubi, later to befriend Kurama.

If Madara was the main character in a series centred during the warring state era, he would have Yin-type of challenge to face. His power is through dream, vision, imagination. In other world the main goal of Madara should have been to develop a power capable of changing people's hearts rather than change people into becoming evil cf Obito or forcing people living inside a illusion. It's so real that Madara stated himself when he was young.

In other words what he's saying : how can we trust others? how can we be sincere and be friend with former enemies?

Have you noticed that most Yin shinobi (with Obito being the exception) don't struggle to become powerful physically. Their strength grow steadily with training and discipline. Itachi, Sasuke, or Madara, They excel at school, smart and learn techniques with time and creativity. They're downfall is... their mental instability (*Tobirama entering the chat*). The problem isn't how to get stronger but how to keep a sane mindset in order to use this power for good.

1/ Face your fear

The main obstacle for Madara achieving this is to confront his fears. He is scared of trusting people behind him and this phobia is manifested by his susanoo with two faces and four arms. It can be understand in many way, the back is the most vulnerable part of the body. It would be interesting to know if in his early childhood he has been betrayed in his back which has caused this phobia. He also doesn't trust future generations, he doesn't think they can come with better idea than him. This is a feeling that he shared with Indra : Him, alone can solve the world's problems. Obito for instance was supposed to follow a path already thought through by Madara. He despised so much others than even when he gives his plan to Obito he needs to do it in his name. That's an extreme side of egoism. "Only me can achieve this dream and I'm gonna divide myself in other me (Obito, Black Zetsu) to finish the job."

So obviously to glow up as a hero he needs to confront his fear, having children and students.

2/ Accept failure & learn resilience

One of the hardest part for Madara was accepting death. I personally don't think Izuna was the only people he lost in his life, but Izuna is certainly the straw that broke the camel's back. His brother was special to him, he was the last one and a promise he made to himself to keep him alive. The main reason of Madara's spiralling in despair was the absence of any support (Izuna was mostly holding this role)

To rewrite we might need to invent a new character that can be this new emotional support during this moment. When Naruto is about to fall Hinata is the one bring him back. I'm thinking about a moment in Jujutsu Kaisen, the MC Yuji has lost many people he cared in a short amount of time and he's in the verge to fall apart until Todo gave him the blablajustu of his life and it works!

So this brand new character can be a friend from his clan who still trust him or a girlfriend/spouse even his mother! In my opinion a woman will perfectly do the job. Because women force men to channel their ambition into something realistic : Yes you want to conquer the world but can you pay the bills? Can you feed your child? Can you protect me? Can you built our house? Are you seriously gonna blow up Konoha and abandon your family? Also intimacy with a woman is generally the rare moment where a man fall the mask of the tough guy. It's socially more acceptable for a woman to show vulnerability but generally frown upon for men. So yeah relationship with the opposite gender is important to give them the security to express their vulnerable side. And Madara is known for his GIGANTIC ego, I think he deserves to have in this rewriting a partner that lets him fall the armour and just be himself, just be a man. Who knows, in his private garden maybe Madara is a poet and read romcom?

To illustrate the importance of women and how men only show a private part of themselves to them I remember Mikoto revealing to Sasuke that his father is actually his secret biggest fan.

Anyway it needs to be someone with a strong emotional wisdom able to tell Madara : "yes you lost Izuna and you're experiencing your biggest failure. But you can't give up now because it means all those people you loved has sacrifice their life for nothing. I believe in you, you can surpass this challenge and keep going to honour your people."

3/Don't leave Konoha... or partially but come back stronger

Ok I know weird coming from me who never defend Konoha. But if Madara is written as the hero he can't completely abandon the village.

Also contrary to other character like Sasuke : Madara is one of the founder! He's not a 12 years old and an orphan. At this period he was between 25 to 30 years old (Izuna died at 24 for reference), unpopular sure but still a well-known, experienced shinobi and powerful head of clan. He had way more leverage to influence the village than Sasuke. The village wasn't yet the strong institution and the children killer machine it would become later on. He might leave it for a while in order to improve his skills. but he has to come back to confront...Tobirama. Leaving was literally giving free hands to the Senju to build Konoha with this generational paranoia mindset toward the Uchihas. If someone should have use all his Yin power to change relationship between Senju and Uchiha it should have been Madara but he run away from his duty. Yes Tobirama is Hashirama's brother AND Izuna's murderer. But how many orphans and widows Madara himself did he create? All shinobis including Hashirama has blood on their hands. It's hard, but as a hero he has to find a way to solve this conflict.

The infinite Tsukuyomi is escapism. Reality was too hard for Madara so better live it in a dream. He said during the Valley of the End fight he can see the shadow taking over the village... well that was his role as someone understanding well the Yin side of chakra to prevent it, he has abandoned his role and his people. Hashirama doesn't listen to you? find an other way inside the village! And this moment was illustrated by Onoki's flashback the previous tsuchikage about not giving up his will in front of challenge. It also applied to Madara's mindset toward Hashirama. At some moment Madara became resentful rather than finding a different perspective to change the village's mindset.

Izuna's death is also the opportunity for being accountable of his own failure. Why is he misunderstood by his clansmen? Why is he hated by those in the village that he wanted to protect? If anyone has watched the anime Viking, the second season covered a similar theme. The hero was first introduces in the first season as a fierce warrior motivated by vengeance, in season 2 he lost his goal and became the shadow of who he was but during this introspection he confronts his demons and came back with a new vision of the world. Why not introduce a new villain that can be confronted only by someone with a mastery of Yin release (in order to put Hashirama on the side and brings the spotlight on Madara's power). Like the challenge that Pain was for Naruto. This new villain may force Madara to unlocked his power at a higher level. So this character must be someone mastering also Yin release. Similar to Naruto when he met Killer Bee that controls Hashibi at a higher level than him. The Sharingan is always seen as a power growing in the negative energy of it's owner, what if this time it grows from the most positive energy? Since Madara is a dojutsu expert, I think of a Huyga villain for that role. Byakugan is the other greatest Dojutsu if we put aside Rinnegan. Byakugan vs Sharingan can be an insanely good fight!

4/ to put it in a nutshell

Madara has to stop being pee-shy for character's improvement

Find him a partner so he won't feel alone and go crazy even in his darkest moments

having children and students could have been a good way to trust the new generation. I'm sure he would hate at first having students like Kakashi in the beginning but later being the best teacher ( just look how he was the only one to see Obito's potential and made him someone even stronger than Itachi in short among of time. Being able to control Kyubi at 16 years old is incredible)

He should learn patience : yes it may take time to be valued in Konoha and as a Yin Shinobi it's his role to confront Tobirama and his bullshits.

Unlocked insane Yin release, become konoha's hero like Naruto after Pain.

Clarify the rumour that he stole his brother's eyes, just tell the truth: he gave it to you. Period. If someone ~Tobirama to not name him, disagrees he has to come fight him in the battlefield.

He could have then become the 2nd Hokage

If truly relationship has been pacify between Senju and Uchiha after a generation Konoha would have been so powerful that probably the shinobi world would have been unified with Konoha has the main power.

The World is now safer under Madara's hegemony. Black zetsu can't have any influence because he has no more weakness to exploit, Kaguya won't be awaken and the Otsutsuki won't look for her she's still sealed inside the moon and no need for Boruto to exist.

What Should The Plot Of Boruto Be?

I think it’s mostly agreed that the plot of Boruto (due to concept, execution, or both) isn’t good. I’m under the opinion that because the Naruto series wasn’t made with a sequel, let alone a next gen sequel, in mind, most plots for a next gen sequel either don't work/make sense or undermine the original in some way. Despite that though, I have come up with a few ideas of what the plot of Boruto could’ve been instead. So…

With the only rule being that the plot focuses on the kids (not the parents because maybe just do a blank period sequel instead at that point), what do you think the plot of Boruto should’ve been?

Sakura VS Sasuke (Kage Summit Arc - Rewrite)

Alright, I cannot hide this anymore. I HAVE to show this. Because I was so freaking annoyed with how the writing of Naruto Shippuden took a serious nosedive after the Pain arc (literally, the only big positive I can name, is Sasuke FINALLY killing that son of a bitch, Danzo, the guy just had it coming with his disgusting anti-Uchiha sentiment, abusing their power for his own aspirations), especially how the Five Kage Summit arc got concluded, with all of Sakura's sacrifices, once again, ultimately leading to yet another failure of hers, which, for some of her supposed IQ level, is just disgraceful (and mind you, I am not blaming Sakura, I am blaming Kishimoto for being a living laughingstock when it comes to writing females, I repeat myself, but this shit seriously gets on my nerves here, because the fandom is just as illiterate, as he is in writing any character with a vagina, on top of being a toxic cesspool too). You can dislike Sakura all you want, but it doesn't change the fact, she is part of the main cast, yet during this arc, where she could have done SOMETHING, she only ended up being a liability, yet again. All that training, all this yearning and devotion, all the sacrifices she made to get to this point to try and face Sasuke on her own terms, and she only ends up hitting a brickwall, as always. As if, all her attributes mean absolutely nothing, and she only exists for Naruto, or anyone else to save her, even in her best form. Yeah, no.

FUCK. EVERY. SINGLE PART. ABOUT ALL THIS.

And well, with all this in mind, I decided to rewrite the entire endgame portion of this arc, down to the root of it. Instead of Sakura hesitating, you will NOT be seeing this with me, the girls in Naruto are all queens, and deserve to be more than just the labels that Kishimoto put on them. She won't kill Sasuke, but she will beat the ever-living crap out of him. He is injured, blinded, exhausted and drained of almost all chakra. It would be STUPID to not see the chance, and get all in. Maximum effort.

And I was actually inspired to write this story, thanks to another dedicated Sakura fan on Twitter, who made this lengthy post, showcasing their efforts to rewrite that portion of the Kage Summit arc, as well. Go and check them out, this story wouldn't have been possible without them. In fact, I took a few notes from it, to write the fight choreography. You will notice, once I show you.

Side-note: And unlike what the canon story did, I will NOT go this route with the cast, Kakashi and the other Jonin will slowly catch on to the fact that, Danzo, and the Konoha elders, had always been the true evil, this whole time. And the assault on the Leaf village, along with the fact that, Naruto's arrival was uncomfortably delayed, all can be traced back to the elders, and mind you, for those who have read my "The Hero, The Blind & The Martyr" story (click the title to immediately get there, to get back up to speed, especially in the final portion), as a follow-up of the rewrite, Nagato had dropped a hint for them to take seriously. That there is a traitor among them, and he wasn't talking about Sasuke. So yes, once the war is over, do not expect Kakashi to play bootlicker to these assholes. And Sasuke WILL be getting the peace and pardoning he, and the rest of his family and clan, so dearly deserve. And Sakura is not blind to it either, anymore.

Especially not Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba, whose families unveil more evidence of what the elders had done, behind the scenes. Yes, another link, connecting to this story, and that is this one:

"Weird Wednesday Headcanon: Outside of Team 7, Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba sympathize the most with Sasuke's fall from grace after the Five Kage Summit"
