You are given a time-machine and a one-time-use device to brainwash Kishimoto

How do you fix Naruto and save anime?

Make him suicide.

Push all the shounenshit aside and make it straight pornography, the only part of Naruto I care about in the slightest is to fuck some of the girls.

Kill Naruto rename the show Sasuke.

Convince him to erase Sasuke.

make the nine tails way less powerful, make rock lee get sakura in the end, make the pain arc the last arc with naruto and sasuke killing each other as old men in the epilogue

Remove madara and Kaguya, make the coolest guy the final boss.
EMS and KLM are Naruto's and Sasuke's limit and no or less Edo tenseis.

Leave Part I as it is. In Part II, don't introduce Madara or the Sage of the 6 Paths.

Keep the hard work theme, but it's fine for Naruto to learn to control the 9 tails power.

Don't "redeem" the 9 tails, let it remain a demonic entity, although a measure of respect towards Naruto is fine.

Don't write out Orochimaru. Allow Naruto and Sasuke to have more screentime early on in Part II, while at the same time showing Oro and Sasuke ganging up on Itachi in order to fulfill Sasuke's wish to kill Itachi. Then, while Naruto is there, Oro takes over Sasuke against his will. Now Naruto has to try and defeat a much stronger Orochimaru while also fending off the Akatsuki.

Leave Pain/Nagato in. Introduce the Rinnegan, but do not introduce the Sage. Keep Sage mode in however.

No Obito/Tobi either. Have a threeway competition between Akatsuki/Ninja villages/Sound/Oro.

Final battle = Naruto vs Oro.

More comedy, less edge.

Also make Sasuke more regretful and hessitant about his actions, give him some human emotion and actually make him care for Taka so no stabbing through Karin.

Make him kill himself.

Make sasuke stick to an idea for more than 10 minutes.
Pain does not bring back the dead from konoha.
Don't make everything about Uchiha.
Don't shit on hard work an training in favour of superior alien genes.
No kaguya, alien bullshit.
Make the bijuus demons that are born from nature.
Sage of 6 paths is just a myth and not a real person.

Go back in time and shoot Oppenheimer in the head, the bomb isn't created, japan doesn't get two dropped on them. They don't become fucked up, anime isn't invented.
Use the brainwash machine to make myself rich or something.

/thread

Reduce eye hax focus.

Maintain theme of "the new generation surpassing the old".

Utilize side characters in the main plot and position them in non-trivial roles, or otherwise have non-trivial side plots that involve them.

>america now has to send hundreds of millions of troops into japan
>the most bloody battle in history happens
>both japan and america are now fucked in the head
>both make anime

End it before Shippuden with an alternate story.

Make Danzo or someone else actually be Tobi. Tobi could be the one manipulating the Akatsuki, but cut out the Obito and Uchiha shit.

Wow that makes way too much sense now that I think about it.
Was Kishi planning on Danzo being Tobi?

No it was a red herring.

Naruto is perfect the way it is

I kinda wanna see that future

Fuck saving it, I'd just make him give me half of all his money when I return to the present day.

Pic related.

Make it a SoL about Tobirama. Hijinks and human rights violations ensue when he forces the Uchiha into camps

I would say end it at the Sasuke Retrieval arc, with a conclusion of Naruto killing Sasuke then a flashforward final arc where he takes down Orochimaru, but there would still be several terrible arcs left over such as Zabuza, two thirds of the Chunin exam, and the Tsunade arc.

Ultimately Naruto is too much of a shitshow for a simple fix to be pointed out, massive rewrites would be needed.

Make Sakura win :^)

Brainwash him into not being a hack.
Might be impossible after all

make sasuke a girl
delete sakura
naruto being less of a retard

Don't revive everybody that pain/nagato killed, let the rinnegan be destroyed after pain/nagato dies, less wizards, more ninjas

Nice try Tobirama.

Replace ninjas with catgirl maids.

End it after Pain arc. Best girl Hinata wins after she confesses during the fight and Naruto is now beloved by all. Fast forward to his innaguration as Hokage. Sasuke watches from a distance, does a faggy smirk and walks away.

I liked how it ended to be honest.

Make that Tobirama and Hashirama genocide fucking Uchiha subhumans.
Kill Orochimaru.
That's all I wanted.

Remove jinchuurikis
Remove dojutsus (byakugan, sharingan, rinnegan)
Remove magic. It's okay to make the ninjutsu more flashy, but don't turn it into a magic fest or DBZ lightbeam fights
Improve designs (remove whiskers)
Focus more on traditional ninja tasks such as infiltration, secret or object stealing or assassination for an edgy approach

If it ended after Pain fight, Hinata's confession would be ignored.

>Make that Tobirama and Hashirama genocide fucking Uchiha subhumans.
>Remove dojutsus
It's good to see some sanity in this thread

Make Shikamaru and Lee the main characters

One is lazy as shit with weak techniques and is forced to use pure strategy to overcome his opponents... You know, like what the show was supposed to be about in the first place.

The other has to muscle through on hard work, and his own physical attributes alone despite everyone shooting lightning and fireballs out their ass.

These are the main Characters Naruto should've had

Make kunais relevant

Rock Lee is terrible, just remove him from the series while you are at it if you want to improve it.

Lee won vs Gaara
No retarded Madara plot

End the series after his battle with Sasuke at the Valley of the End. Sasuke won but both died because of their wounds.
The message of the series now is that good intentions fixes shit unless you have the means to accomplish shit, and, again, being a natural born genius means nothing.

Same message as before but with a more powerful impact. Wizard battles and DBZ-tier power levels avoided.

Lower the powerlevels of the top tier. It got ridiculous at a certain point.

> make sasuke a girl
> delete sakura
It is not Boruto thread.

Throw away brainwashing device.

Kill Kishimoto.

> Naruto was finally finding his own niche and power in battle thanks to Sage mode and clever Bunshin usage
> Lolno let's make him furry Jesus

Why was this allowed?

Bring back the knowledge of Kamijou Touma and have Kishi make him the main character.
Anime is saved.

But she did win, she got with the one she wanted right from the beginning.

> Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke where becoming the new three Sanin in the eyes of several experiences ninja
> Naruto and Sasuke where elevated to near godhood
> Sakura got a last minute power up

I feel Kishi had something going on but was pressured to wrap things up for some reason. Maybe readers where getting bored.

End with Salad becoming the main villain.

Have both Naruto and Sasuke die in their first battle at the valley of the end. In part 2 Kakashi decides to rejoin anbu. Make the series anbu-centric with Kashi and Yugio as the MCs.

>getting with someone who comes back home once every decade and refuses to even kiss you
>winning

It was ignored anyways. That's always bugged me. She literally said she loved him but, afterwards, he's just like "lol hey Hinata."

>"Forced to use pure strategy."

Ever see Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? Specifically part 2? It's basically that. The parts after it are a lot like it too.

Make the characters actual ninjas instead of wizards.

The problem with Naruto where the Bijus themselves. They add nothing to the story and are just walking plot devices. Get rid of them and the series goes back to being ninjas vs ninjas.

Make Germans dub the entire thing as the original, not just the theme.

You don't know suffering yet

Really what it needed was better fight design, way less runtime, and more focus on the ninja thing. Sure chakra stuff is nice and busting out the big nuke jutsus can be cool at times, but it got ridiculous in the second half. Focus on actual ninja stuff like recon and assassinations would have been nice. Eyehax were okay to a point to reinforce the theme of the series by having people who work hard surpass the ones who were born strong (this means Lee should have won), if their importance had later been greatly reduced. Having people actually develop a character would have also helped. The only one who I felt changed a lot over the series was Gaara, and the MC himself was incredibly boring and had godmode stuff later on despite supposedly being the underdog. You can't just not have development in a series this long.

Make Sakura more insane than she already is, buff her abilities to be on Naruto's level, have her also betray the village and take on Karin's role in the story.

Don't allow Sasuke to join Akatsuki. Joining Tobi's side after he told him that he helped kill off the clan that day is fucking baffling. On the other hand, Uchihas are genetically fucked up. If only we knew that Uchihas were genetically edgy sooner.

Nerf Madara. Buff Tsunade. If it's still ok for Senjus to be OP, then it shouldn't be ok for Tsunade to be so weak and underutilized compared to Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

German here.
The German Naruto dub is jnfamous for being utter shit.

Sasuke stays and he ends it at the Pain arc. After this arc Naruto went to shit.

Ever realize how most series that have a single plot stretch for 40+ episodes are complete garbage? At that point it's either shitty writing or deliberate stretching to cash in. Some series avert this (ex. Berserk stays interesting by telling a bigass story, although the whole boat thing could have been left out obviously, and JoJo by splitting it's plots neatly into digestible pieces and just building a big metaplot on top), but by and large, long runners simply suck ass. Good examples are this very series, Dragonball, Pokemon, One Piece, etceteraetcetera. At some point the series is usually too long to keep up any tangible tension.
Meanwhile most series we can all agree are good/decent are somewhere between 20 and 35 episodes in length.

If you can belive it
You can be somebody

stfu hater naruto is the bestest anime evr

This would actually balance a lot of shit. Unfortunately, it would probably make the vidya garbage.

>it would probably make the vidya garbage.
They already are. Only the original 4 Gekitou Ninja Taisen games are any good.

the justification given in the movie for that was hilariously lame too

What was it?

Just make it go back to being about hard work and shit.
Take out all of the shit about Naruto being the child of prophecy to save the world or whatever the fuck the show turned into. Just have it be about somebody who tries his best at all times and that lets him reach his near-impossible dreams.

Instead of becoming Hokage, Naruto's greatest desire is now to drown in a river of Tsunade's pussy juice.

naruto didn't understand hinata's confession and he thought she liked him like he likes ramen

Sasuke is never redeemed, instead he becomes the final villain.
None of the Kaguya or Madara bullshit.
No Sage of Six Paths asspulls.
Danzo actually does something.
Orochimaru becomes more relevant instead of leading up to nothing.

God that second editor fucking ruined Naruto, eh? I mean it's still shonenshit till then but dammit it's good shonenshit.

So they tried to pull a GokuXChiChi engagement gag and failed miserably

No. I browse Sup Forums and have never heard of this. What is it?

>Keep the hard work theme
That was never a theme you inbred get some reading comprehension.

Did you miss that Rock Lee los his fucking fight and that Sasuke copied his moves with the sharingan?

>Replace Sakura with Hinata
>cut down the Shinobi war to 20 chapters instead of 100+

kishimoto himself said he created rock lee to show hard work could be cool you autistic clod

Have everyone accept that angsty chuunin exam Neji's spiel about destiny being 100% right. Winners are born winners. Naruto and Sasuke are reincarnations of ancient alien god sages for fucks sake.

naruto did train hard though, there's no denying that

i dont remember the justification in the movie but i know there is some autism when it comes to translations where there is a difference between "I love you" and "I'm in love with you" where the latter is a lot more serious then the former

>naruto did train hard though, there's no denying that
No he didn't. He explicitly creates methods to cheat and speed up his training so he can get results faster with less effort.

Naruto didn't even work hard after Part 1 if you think about it.

>Comes back after training with Jiraiya
>Is bailed out by Kyuubi when fighting Oro
>Is taught Sage Mode which enhances his abilities
>Is given Kyuubi Mode
>Is given stronger Kyuubi Mode
>Is given Sage of Six Paths bullshit

The fucker couldn't even bother to learn a justu that wasn't a Rasengan variant by the end of the manga.

>use time travel device
>travel to before Kishi started Naruto
>kill him
>naruto doesn't exist

Anime becomes better as a medium.

that only happened after the timeskip

he trained with jiraiya for 3 years straight without using the clone cheat trying to master the nine tails and that's just one example

>neji says you're born to become hokage
>naruto is the son of former hokage and former kyuubi jinchuuriki and was specifically given top tier power at birth to accomplish an ancient prophecy
-h he worked hard guys!!

Before the time skip Naruto explicitly never learns to make a proper Rasengan, he cheats by using clones to speed up the process and make a very slip shod way of doing it properly that abuses his natural gifts rather than actual hard work. The only time he does a rasengan with 1 hand its through the overwhelming amount of chakra from the fox creating hands to do it for him.

...

kunais are less useful than peashooters in nardoverse

Friendly reminder that most of the actual deaths in the series were caused by a kunai/sword. Sharp pieces of metal are still the best at killing stuff.

Make Sasuke a girl

Make Sasuke a girl.

Make Sasuke not kill Itachi to show he's overcome his edginess.

The rest should work itself out, really.

Oh and remove that whole kaguya bullshit like wtf.

There are so many things.

>Don't keep increasing the powerlevels.
>Each village has more of their own style and specialty. we kind of saw that with the Wave and Exam arcs.
>No Mangekyou and other eye hax.
>Sasuke is a girl
>Sasuke has doubts to what she's doing after leaving the village. Has moments where she just feels lost and hopeless.
The Kyuubi isn't good and Naruto has to work hard to master its chakra.
>Sages exist but Naruto doesn't become one because it takes a lot of time and effort.
>The Sage of Six paths is just a story.
>No Edo Tensi
>Age up the characters and when they graduate. Kakashi being a ninja at six is just ridiculous.

A lot more that I'm too busy to type out.

>Make Sasuke a girl
Already happened, kinda.

Leave Naruto just as the son of the fourth and not the reincarnation of Jesus, Santa Claus, Spongebob, Allah, Buddah and the Easter Egg.

Actually no, it's the same amount of effort, just in less time.

Oh that reminds me have Naruto learn about his parents before the exam arc. It was fucking obvious who his father was from the first chapter and dragging out the reveal was annoying.

Yeah, but they are just making her a relevant fapbait rather than an equally overpowered edgemistress rival

so basically turn the plot into time braid's

I'm fine with that
