How would you have fixed Naruto, user?

It ends after chuunin arc

Make calvin the MC

Naruto dies on the second chapter.

-remove Uchiha, all of them
-filler arcs were about Naruto's and Jiriya's journey
-have him take and pass the Chunin and Jounin exams properly
-Him taming the nine-tails is the end-game
-no powerleveling make all battles the result of hard work and intelligence
-Remember Naruto having speeches about how we should all get along? make him be wrong about that there's no need to have pacifist messages in a series about trained assassins
-no 10 tails
-no ninja gods
-actual arcs about the other tailed beast
-don't make the female characters jobbers
-keep the very end and the first two arcs intact (other than the bits with Uchihas) change everything else

Sasuke is now a female
Sakura is now girl going through a yuri phase when she's young but grows out of yet eventually

Naruto hooks up with femSasuke, we get still get Boruto and Sarada.
Boruto anime subtly plays with wincest

>-Him taming the nine-tails is the end-game
>-no powerleveling make all battles the result of hard work and intelligence
I'm not sure how you want to have no powerleveling but still keep the beasts.
>-Remember Naruto having speeches about how we should all get along? make him be wrong about that there's no need to have pacifist messages in a series about trained assassins
Nah, it's still shonen and the message about ending the cycle of revenge still makes sense in story. Just make Naruto actually work for it.

Make the Pain arc the final arc and keep the characters dead, with Naruto never becoming Hokage but instead having earnt the love and respect of the village through his efforts.

Also Sasuke is now a girl.

Honestly either go full homo to piss of shipping fags or make Sasuke (or naruto) female

Have it follow the interclan politics rather than the battle shonen shit we got.

Could you imagine LoGH except it was about ninjas?
Hiashi Hyuga: Master Eugenicist could hold the series up by himself.

Add an another mission arc after the zabuza arc, where the bad guy doesn't get redeemed, that way naruto doesn't try to make every good, also it would make team 7 feel more like a team

Just teach kishimoto proper exposition.

Two words: Rock Lee

Remove Sakura.
Sasuke is not nearly as popular, rather he's seen as the weird kid who wants to murder someone. He actually receives therapy this time. Sasuke and Naruto are the only two in Team Kakashi because no one was left to be in their in their class. No on from other classes want to team up with them. Naruto is mostly just jealous of Sasuke's skills and looks, not his popularity. He blames Sasuke for ruining his chances of ending up with a cute teammates. The hate starts turning into a friendly rivalry after Sasuke offers his food to Naruto. Over the course, Sasuke slowly loses interest in revenge because he's getting new people in his life, like Naruto and Kakashi.

Naruto is also happy that he got a friend his age in Sasuke and they practically become brother, both supporting each other and having a friendly rivalry. Sasuke decides to just focus on reviving his clan and hopes to become a strong so no one can hurt those close to him again. The main antagonist is the Akatsuki, they want Naruto and destruction and bullshit, and Sasuke joins the fight to defend Naruto
Ends up killing Itachi in process, gets his revenge. Pain and Tobito are the final challenges.

The finale is Naruto against Pain and Sasuke against Tobito Uchiha, the only other Uchiha. Their is more build up for this fight. Pain kills Jiraya and Tobito got Naruto's parents killed. Tie them both in Uchiha massacre using bullshit. For example, Tobito and Pain both knew how bullshit Sharingan can be, and wanted to get rid of it. They couldn't get into the villain and do this on their own for some reason, so they used Itachi, who was actually just an evil faggot fucked up by Sharingan and shared Tobito's goal. Other teams also help with this fight, and they take out a few paths of Pain.

Make Naruto or Sasuke a female, if you don't want gay. Naruko/Sasuke is great too. If gay route, Naruto uses Kyuubi Chakra to stay a girl for 9 months, giving birth Sasuke's kids, continuing the clan.

backstory and setting:
- 9T is unique, not one demon on a baseball team, and wasn't passed down by Kushina and Mito. Akatsuki has different motivations if it exists at all
- villages have consistent sizes: maybe a few hundred active ninja each, not ten thousand. demographics and academy matriculation rates must make sense
- not everybody is secretly somebody's mentor/lover/godfather, particularly Jiraiya
- Naruto's dad probably shouldn't be the 4th. It makes all the other villages not recognizing and trying to kill him earlier in the story nonsensical.
- Uchiha rebellion and Hyuga/Cloud conflicts need reasonable backstory, motivations, and actions. No "it's all Danzo's fault" bullshit.
- No Sot6P+sons+mom+brother stuff.
- Madara is 100% dead and only affects the plot maybe through things he set in motion.

character personalities:
- Naruto can still act out, but can't be such a lazy fuck-up that "hard work" makes no sense as a theme. can take a clue a little better too.
- Sakura either doesn't exist, has her personality overhauled, learns quickly that being a ninja is some real shit and changes, or gets killed off for her immaturity
- Sauce can stay as an edgelord but likewise must either change and grow or face the consequences
- Kakashi needs to be an actual mentor

tone:
- a lot more suspense like Forest of Death. ninjas sometimes need to kill and will sometime die.
- no uchia hax/plot armor. impressive shit needs to be set up/foreshadowed enough that the readers can appreciate the cleverness.
- massively lower powerlevels in general

plot:
- more field missions, maybe with other teams too
- chunin exams fine
- when Sauce leaves, the story quits following him as a deuteragonist, and we see him only at a distance from Naruto's POV. also, no level 2 curses. somebody dies, and Naruto has to reflect on what his goals and values really are.
- Naruto actually builds real friendships and relationships instead of having things retconned to "things were ok"

I think some of these ideas are good, but Madara staying dead makes me kinda sad. Madara Fucks Up The Shinobi Alliance is one of the best fights in the series.

it seems like people forget what talk no jutsu supposed to mean. it means that people should listen and keep lines of communication of their problem instead of fighting instead.

> Naruto's dad probably shouldn't be the 4th. It makes all the other villages not recognizing and trying to kill him earlier in the story nonsensical.
he wasn't hokage yet, this is mostly the story of how he became known as the yellow flash
>- Uchiha rebellion and Hyuga/Cloud conflicts need reasonable backstory, motivations, and actions. No "it's all Danzo's fault" bullshit.
that's only the uchiha but they should also add a black market as well, I was honestly surprised when the black market is supposedly only dealing in corpses of bounties
>- Sakura either doesn't exist, has her personality overhauled, learns quickly that being a ninja is some real shit and changes, or gets killed off for her immaturity
and follow through with it , cause kishi did that but made the power scaling just skyrocket with the other two which made her seem like shes on a bike while the others got fucking rockets.
>- a lot more suspense like Forest of Death. ninjas sometimes need to kill and will sometime die.
you mean let us see it, cause we did or least knew people were dying but just couldn't see it
> Madara is 100% dead and only affects the plot maybe through things he set in motion
he set everything in motion
>- No Sot6P+sons+mom+brother stuff.
I feel like we should have it but set it like as a folklore story parent tell the kids like the bible
>- Naruto actually builds real friendships and relationships instead of having things retconned to "things were ok
>- more field missions, maybe with other teams too
this would also give kishi time to actually tell how they built their relationship between sasuke and naruto's relationship while hes doing missions with the other chunins that are still there

meant to respond to
and also
>- when Sauce leaves, the story quits following him as a deuteragonist, and we see him only at a distance from Naruto's POV.
I feel like it should cause then we wont understand of sasuke's whole road to revenge thing.
>also, no level 2 curses.
I feel like at the time it was good for like power gap closer,but if we take it away then we also have to increase the power for the sharingan at only 3 tomoe, cause it only allowed them copy jutsus and read moves at the time, and fox cloak btfo his 3 tomoe, that's why it was good, they would push each other to their next ability

(continued)

plot:
- both Jiraiya and Kakashi die (and stay dead) in Pain arc
- Naruto doesn't master sage mode yet, and Pain only barely gets beaten thanks in part to sacrifices from others.
- if Hinata confesses and survives, things get addressed there and not 300 chapters later in an epilogue/SP film. Maybe teen preggers, with Naruto needing to learn what responsibility for others means.
- what the 9T is gets addressed, and Naruto figuring out how to prevent something similar from happening again becomes a central concern
- possible timeskip, with Naruto making jonin and leading a team of his own before the final arc
- big bad(s) gets defeated together with people who stuck by Naruto the whole time and not random Uchias who show up near the end

themes:

Naruto has to struggle with understanding:
- "what he is" (9T, family, etc.) isn't as important as who he is as a person.
- the consequences of his "my word is my bond" credo and whether he should stick with it or find another guiding principle
- relationships with and understanding others better, and learning that even with bonds with others that things aren't always easy
- his society/world and his part in it, and decide whether he wants to remain an agent of violence in order to remain with and protect the people he cares about.

>Over the course, Sasuke slowly loses interest in revenge because he's getting new people in his life, like Naruto and Kakashi.
until he itachi again and the emotions come flowing back and itachi set him back on the revenge track.
>Ends up killing Itachi in process, gets his revenge.
and then somehow learns that, the place he sworn to protect, was the reason for his loneliness.

>Make Naruto or Sasuke a female,
boruto
>If gay route, Naruto uses Kyuubi Chakra to stay a girl for 9 months, giving birth Sasuke's kids, continuing the clan.
fanfic tier. you was doing great til this.

HERE'S HOW TO MAKE NARUTO GOOD.

STEP 1; TAKE JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE PART 2: BATTLE TENDENCY

STEP 2; RENAME IT NARUTO

DONE.

>Make the Pain arc the final arc and keep the characters dead, with Naruto never becoming Hokage but instead having earnt the love and respect of the village through his efforts.
>but instead having earnt the love and respect of the village through his efforts.
>heres a consolation prize.
and that would probably tech kids theres no point if you dont have enough power or no matter how strong you get, theres always gonne be someone to smack you down. and edgy

-Remove Sasuke
-Side characters like Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Shino, Neji, Ino etc are more relevant
-Capable characters are still capable after the time skip, everyone doesn't turns into shit except Nuruto
-End the anime after Pain arc

Ban it from Sup Forums again

>the message about ending the cycle of revenge still makes sense in story. Just make Naruto actually work for it.
This. He never did. Obito did all the job with his stupid ass zombie war.

>with Naruto never becoming Hokage
He might as well be the new Hokage after the Pain arc. Tsunade is in coma and useless. At that point Naruto is the only competent ninja left to defend Konoha.

Fuck off Narutard spammers

>Naruto doesn't master sage mode yet, and Pain only barely gets beaten thanks in part to sacrifices from others.
What's the fucking point then?

>Naruto doesn't master sage mode yet, and Pain only barely gets beaten thanks in part to sacrifices from others.
retarded, the only reason he lasted against pain was because of sage mode.
>- the consequences of his "my word is my bond" credo and whether he should stick with it or find another guiding principle]
that would make him a flipflopper. him being stuborn and never giving up is his central trait.
>- his society/world and his part in it, and decide whether he wants to remain an agent of violence in order to remain with and protect the people he cares about.
hes a ninja, id imagine not being a ninja would be pretty disgraceful. and its shonen, then it become a story of " needing power to protect" so why waste our time with it?
>big bad(s) gets defeated together with people who stuck by Naruto the whole time and not random Uchias who show up near the end
people already complain about the power of friendship and naruto already did that with tobi.
>Obito did all the job with his stupid ass zombie war.
he did, he led by example. and he started with pain, if didnt thats a whole village dead.

mastered sage mode put him in the absolute top tier of fighters in the world way too early in the story and necessitated zombie kage war.

the alternative is to wrap shit up right after the Pain arc, which isn't the worst idea.

>mastered sage mode put him in the absolute top tier of fighters in the world way too early in the story and necessitated zombie kage war.
that makes no sense. him mastering sage mode didn't cause the zombie war. they still would have had the zombie war, so that does not correlate.
as we have seen pain could take almost all of the jinchurikis no problem, and he took care of jiraiya . so if didnt have sage mode he wouldnt have been able to push pain as hard as he did. especially at the last moment when he wins with his own strentgh.

>he did, he led by example. and he started with pain, if didnt thats a whole village dead.
He only did with Pain. After that's it's
>BOOHOO DON'T KILL MY BFF EVEN THOUGH HE'S SLAUGHTERING NIGGAS LEFT AND RIGHT
>guess I'll go training for a while and HOLY SHIT ZOMBIES LET'S FUCK THEM UP
>hey zombies how about friendship for once? being good is nice
>I'm gay for you Sauce, let's be friends again for real this time

He'd need strength to lead a village. And just like Pain he could try acting as a deterrent, although not an absolute one (and since he wasn't on Pain's level at the time he still had room to grow)
Not like wrapping up at Pain isn't a good idea, it's the arc that takes the most themes and narratives at the same time. But you could still go on Konoha's reconstruction, the other villages trying to gang up on Konoha because it's gotten weaker and Naruto having to solve that. You could have a non-zombie war which Naruto might not be able to solve on his own because his Sage Mode is limited to 5 minutes anyway (unlike Jiraya who could probably tear through enemys soldiers for hours without getting tired).

Madara achieves incomplete sage powers, but naruto and sasuke beat him with their current powers (real sage of the six paths never exists). Everyone is saved and no eternal tskukuyomi anymore.

You can't fix what is fundamentally shit on all levels.

> Everyone is saved and no eternal tskukuyomi anymore.
but then everyone's awake and will gang up on him, that's a major distraction and gives no tension to the fight.
>Madara achieves incomplete sage powers
that would make no sense cause that would make pain seem like he should have been the final boss along and that the ultmate final boss is as a strong as the character that died to his student. retarded.
>the zombies
they are not sentient so they are ok to "kill"
>He only did with Pain. After that's it's
he did it with tobi as well. and they even said that madara couldn't be reasoned with.
>>guess I'll go training for a while and HOLY SHIT ZOMBIES LET'S FUCK THEM UP
he was sentence to some protection spot or something and while there he finds enlightenment and amster his most recent form.

>they are not sentient so they are ok to "kill"
That's the point. Giving everyone a single enemy to unite against AND an enemy it's okay to kill just makes all the work Naruto should have done. Obito created the peace by killing like half of the Earth with his monsters.

Naruto had no hard choice after Pain (where he had to spare him). Everything he had to do after that was beat up zombies and spout a few FRIENDSHIP speeches. Oh yeah, I forgot, that and Neji's loss. One chapter.

>that would make no sense cause that would make pain seem like he should have been the final boss along and that the ultmate final boss is as a strong as the character that died to his student. retarded.

The fuck are you talking about? Pain didn't achieve power anywhere close to the sage of the six paths.

>but then everyone's awake and will gang up on him, that's a major distraction and gives no tension to the fight

Oh, you must of missed the part before that where I said "but naruto and sasuke beat him with their current powers".

Fucking this. Rock Lee should have been the MC.

>Pain didn't achieve power anywhere close to the sage of the six paths.
>forget the whole thing of pain having eyes like basically jesus
>make madara half of jesus
ok
>Oh, you must of missed the part before that where I said "but naruto and sasuke beat him with their current powers"
>everyone else is just standing around.
ok

>Giving everyone a single enemy to unite against AND an enemy it's okay to kill just makes all the work Naruto should have done. Obito created the peace by killing like half of the Earth with his monsters.
that was already set up by the akatsuki especially since they were going around and basically stealing each country's nuclear missile.
>Naruto had no hard choice after Pain
well he did, when he almost reached out his hand to obito till hinata slapped some sense into him

>that was already set up by the akatsuki especially since they were going around and basically stealing each country's nuclear missile.
Yes, and it was implied Naruto had to fight something higher, a SYSTEM rather than a single organization. Well nope, he had to fight 2 individuals.

>well he did, when he almost reached out his hand to obito till hinata slapped some sense into him
ONE (1) CHAPTER

>forget the whole thing of pain having eyes like basically jesus

Did you miss the part of the story where Madara implanted his eyes into Pain? They are literally his eyes and he's still much much less than what six paths madara was with no eyes.

>everyone else is just standing around

Are you being fucking serious? Are you pretending to be retarded. I'll tell you what happens in the manga since you dont seem to know... everyone gets put under the eternal tsukuyomi but sasuke, naruto and sakura don't because of sasuke's susano, then they fight him. I want to have naruto and sasuke beat madara with their current powers, none of that sage of the six paths shit, and then everyone is freed from the eternal tsukuyomi by some other means.

>ONE (1) CHAPTER
that's like 2 chapters
you're the one who said there's no tsukkomi.
>and then everyone is freed from the eternal tsukuyomi by some other means.
which is it. you want it dont want it? cause that literally all I implied, nothing to do with thier current power level.

>Did you miss the part of the story where Madara implanted his eyes into Pain? They are literally his eyes and he's still much much less than what six paths madara was with no eyes.
oh, well I can see naruto being able to stand up to that but not sasuke since he gets wrecked by tobi since he had a counter for almost anything sasuke threw at him.

i always wanted that the story progressed in something kinda SEAL like training. with no power ups and keep the improvements making sense, the least bullshit possible, or least just for the ending or very special occasions. But for that it would have been shorter and more disturbing. Like seeing some forbidden jutsus as really disturbing, painful things.

>that's like 2 chapters
wow big deal
We've had like 270 chapters after Pain, 230 or so after the Kages council and the only conflict Naruto has is a 2 chapters death-wake up dude? Good lord.

>We've had like 270 chapters after Pain, 230 or so after the Kages council and the only conflict Naruto has is a 2 chapters death-wake up dude? Good lord.
honestly that whole scene needs a redo, but I think the scene was to be a question to himself if he could keep walking this road of trying to save sasuke but sasuke keeps going down the rabbit hole, kinda like he chose the opposite of what sakura chose.
>>that's like 2 chapters
>wow big deal
user why are you so angry?, you are loved.

No reincarnation shit
No bloodline royalty shit
No sandal archwizard shit

-naruto isnt borderline retarded
-naruto isnt ''the chosen one''
-change naruto ugly hairstyle
-naruto understands killing sasuke is the right thing to do and doesn't give a shit about sasuke anymore
-same about sakura
-more rock lee
-make hinata and naruto's relationship make sense

-no giant mecha jutsus

I don't know anything about Naruto

so if I was going to fix it I would just make Yu Yu Hakusho

-revenge for that dude that gaara's sensei killed in the first part

>-no giant mecha jutsus
you're mad
>-change naruto ugly hairstyle
what screams MC besides spiky hair. and make you stand out? and its not ugly, just the headband makes it ugly.
>-make hinata and naruto's relationship make sense
it does make sense unless you're an NS shipper.
>-naruto understands killing sasuke is the right thing to do and doesn't give a shit about sasuke anymore
>snake vs white shadow
yes

This. Fuck sand

i like how his hair looks in fanart but in the actual series it looks like a fucking sponge

meh, hayato needed to die. to further drive the point home "oh shit the sand is no joke"

meh., I think most of the the other good hair design were taken already and the series already has a lot of straight laced hair characters.

It's coarse, rough, and it gets everywhere

-sasuke part 2 has a blue in his outfit

Anime adaptation of Calvin and Hobbes, when?

We all know those fuckin nips would ruin it, though

> Remove Sasuke. Make Kiba Naruto's main rival instead. It would be a much healthier relationship.

> More focus and development on other Ninja clans in the Naruto world

> Less Uchihas in main story

> No Obito or Kaguya nonsense

> Make Pain the final Villain instead. Extend the pain arc in which gives proper closure to the series.
