Naruto fanfic idea

[RepresentingWrath]

I feel like I want to place an idea and you will judge it. Just for the funzies. After all, the story is already there, so let's try the plagiarize route. Since most fanfics fall on this. They aren't using "original characters" (I would say they are since those characters are far from what they are meant to be). They also use the same world. I will use the example that I excel at writing romances.

Let's use the Naruto world since it is the topic of the thread. Never written a fanfic, but I feel like they can be either easy or hard to do. Like you said, most of these characters end up being namesakes alone at the end. (If you like a name, just use it instead of using the same characters or butcher of them). For my take in a fanfic, let's pick an MC as the object of the romance since those are easier to tweak, I guess?

Naruto already has high levels of bromance between Sasuke and Naruto. (Don't ask me but I swear those two should have ended together at the end.) It also has romance at weaker levels. Hinata/Sakura simping for the boys. We know that Naruto is "in love" with Sakura for most of the story. (No one can change my mind that his true love is Sasuke.)

I would have that same thing happen, while he slowly falls for the new mc inserted into the story. Have her be someone he visits or a teammate of another team? Something along those lines. Hinata filled that term, but we all know how that romance went. It was basically ignored until the movie when Naruto magically falls in love with her. (Yes, there were a few scenes before that, but I would not count that as falling for her.)

So, we can follow the entire plot to the T, while changing who he loves easily and slowly. Tweaks can be made like making the new MC an extra teammate because of x&y reasons. Heck, have them interact while they are in the town or something like that. Or someone to save like a side mission and that is where they meet. (This one sounds like the best one out of all of them.) Or have her be the temporary teammate over some missions, while they play out the same.

It has to be something that doesn't ruin the main plot or shift it to their view alone too. This is the hard part. Naruto goes to face a baddy, while MC is a spectator because they were injured or something. After all, Naruto is the MC of his story. He is the one who unites and sees everything go through.

I mean the world has to be the same for it to be fanfic, which means the plot has to be almost identical. This way, one doesn't risk changing the personalities of the characters. Sasuke stays the same edgy lord, while instead of focusing so much on the bromance, maybe tone it down a bit and have Naruto look at someone else. While still preserving the desire to save his friend.

Or we could try to write a tragedy by having the new MC fall for Neji. Heheh...

After writing this, I feel like this is stupidly hard to do. So, I will keep to my original takes and worlds. xD

Well, first of all, you should look at the part where I said: 'if the story is well done.' And the romance in naruto isn't good and basically doesn't exist, to say the least. It is written badly.

The next point is, I'm not a Naruto fan, so I can't say you all the hidden interconnections between the characters. But the one from the top of my head. You give Naruto a new lover>Hinata won't fight Pain>Naruto won't give a sudden outburst of friendship power>the chain keeps on growing. Thus, the story deviates even more. You can say to me, but what if the NEW character, the lover of Naruto, goes and fights Pain? Well, what will happen to Hinata?

That's one of the things people who write fanfics, miss. When they concentrate on hero A, hero B is in limbo. Like a texture from a game. The one that doesn't get loaded onto game level if the player doesn't look at it. How much does Hinata care for Naruto; what changes Naruto's lover will bring to her personality and character? What will happen to Neji, who is connected to Hinata? What will happen to Sakura when Naruto's feeling fades earlier? What will happen between Sasuke and Naruto, now that Naruto has a lover? And lastly, don't underestimate how much love will change Naruto. How will he change? As I said, I'm not a Naruto fan, so everything that I wrote isn't the only thing you should think of when writing this. There is a lot more you should take into consideration.

I mean romance is popular too, and
eeh I don't read GL either but to each their own.

I don't either. xP I like my romances! hetero romances mostly.

I know when and where that character can be placed. After Sasuke leaves the hidden leaf village, you could then introduce the character as a new member of team seven right before Naruto leaves.
Naruto, instead of leaving, would say that he wants to stay after the new character convinces Naruto to stay due to the influence of Danzo not wanting the Konoha Jinchūriki running around without his will.
They later learn that the person is a secret anbu like Sai, but still sticks with team 7 despite all that transpired, but now Sakura is interested in not making the same mistake she did with Sasuke and treats them like a person, not a weapon and they fall for each other while the OC and Naruto fall for each other.
Yeah, Kitty, you've seen my writing. This was the route I'd take 99% of the time.

This is where research on the main plot needs further looks. Because I don't know it fully. But a fanfic writer has to know the full plot and character developments. So, I would not know if her introduction to the team would change things. This is honestly too hard for me. I rather have no restrictions.

Romance in Naruto is garbage tier. xD

You can say to me, but what if the NEW character, the lover of Naruto, goes and fights Pain? Well, what will happen to Hinata?

Hinata as adorable as she is. She isn't Naruto's lover at that point. I think that is where she confesses to him. Which nothing happened after that! I thought my man would be like omg, please. I love you too! Or start looking her way, but it was brushed over from what I remember. xD It is why this would have to be a slow-burn romance. One that takes time and is not my specialty.

That's one of the things people who write fanfics, miss. When they concentrate on hero A, hero B is in limbo. Like a texture from a game. The one that doesn't get loaded onto game level if the player doesn't look at it. How much does Hinata care for Naruto; what changes Naruto's lover will bring to her personality and character?

I agree, which is why this would need 100% more research. Something I will never do. I rather create my world. xD Have a character that is similar to him and make my plot. Wrote that for funnies. But that alone has 100x flaws and plot holes where it can go wrong. Most Fanfic writers won't do the research needed to make it succeed. They would just butcher the world and its characters. :3

Honestly, if anyone is going to write a fanfic. Make it a spin-off. (Are there things like this? I do not know.) It would be after the story ends and you can continue it when Naruto ends/ before Boruto begins. I feel like that might be easier. Cuz sticking to the plot is hard as fuck.

Absolute truth.

Or do fanfic in universes that allow it. For example, almost any kind of absurd shit can happen in WH40k Universe. You can do almost everything because even the official authors don't care about the already established lore and change each-others characters.

Or another example Harry Potter universe. Do a little research of spells and shit, STAY AWAY from Hogwarts, and here you go. You have worldbuilding that you can use and even change a fair bit cause different types of magic exists, different countries, etc. All you need to do is create characters and a plot.

"i know sasuke won't be depressed edgy if they survived"
how do a normal realistic character be "depressed edgy", how do you think sasuke as an edgy person and want to write naruto fanfi.i am baffled by the thought of people who think sasuke as an edgy person, and not the most realistic human anime character ever. and lol at the thought of naru/sasu.

Hey, I invite you in a friendly manner to convince me otherwise. xD I swear I saw that every time they interacted. The bromance was too much for me. I am sorry, that is not how you write rivals. At least from what I have seen.

Ah, arguments based on a personal taste and experience. Anyway, fujoshi would see a gay ship in every bromance. Name me one couple, with good-looking men, where fujoshi would say that they aren't meant for each other.

Bakugo and Deku :3 have the best rivalry imo. And I don't ship them. xP Idk, my hubby agrees with me when I say Sasuke and Naruto xD were totally into each other. This is mostly because the romance aspect of their lives was fucked up. Sasuke with Sakura was another forced one. So the bromance outshined everything.

You are fucking with me right now, right? This is the so-called cheeky behavior from a hubae, right?

ok, it's clear the author do not intend it to come that way, but why do you think sasuke is edgy?,to me his personality is far from edgy and realistic(even better realistic than naruto), i am sorry if i came as aggressive, but i hate it when authors write naruto fanfi, and think sasuke as an edgy emo and nothing else. anyway, i don't think most people like it when
you change things from before and add new things, but if you want to write, make it so that people still think this is naruto world with new things(not changing everything).but that's my opinion, you know what to do.

The thing about art written works, everyone will see things differently. Doesn't matter if the author wants to make something be in stone, everyone will perceive it differently. This is the wonderful part of our media. Someone can see some as an asshole, others as misunderstood and even caring. c: A reading experience is molded by one's values and morals.

but why do you think sasuke is edgy?,to me his personality is far from edgy and realistic(even better realistic than naruto), i am sorry if i came as aggressive, but i hate it when authors write naruto fanfi, and think sasuke as an edgy emo and nothing else. anyway, i don't think most people like it when

I only called him an edge lord because OP referred to him as such. I actually agree with you. He is a realistic character. Depressive, hurt, trauma. He has a lot of issues to deal with. And eventually, it leads him down a dark path. Sadly, people think of them as edgy characters. There isn't nothing wrong with that, unless they use it as an insult.

No need to apologize. :3 You are far from aggressive. Though, I was referring more to my ship sasu/naru than the qualities of the character when I challenged you. xP

you change things from before and add new things, but if you want to write, make it so that people still think this is naruto world with new things(not changing everything).but that's my opinion, you know what to do.

Hm, I don't write fanfics because I feel like many of them butcher the world/characters. Most of the time, that world ends up not being the same. That is why I rather write a world inspired by the ninja concept than follow an already written plot. :3 I find Fanfics too restrictive if you want them to be faithful. Too many loops to jump through.

Yet, you are right. People should write it in a way that it is still naruto. Heck, starts off in another village. Or in a different timeline if you want to use the same world/concept. Sadly, this doesn't work for characters already existing in the world. That's what people should do if they want to write a fanfic.

I never said they'd have normal lives, they are still going to suffer, just not from the loss of family, also I still plan on making them bond just over something else.
As for Naruto's personality, I changed it up a bit. I'll make them a lovable idiot, but not too naïve who's quick to anger cause of all they have suffered, arrogant and sorta narcistic.
As for Sasuke I made him arrogant as well, but not as much as Naruto and make him calculative and think more than the normal person, almost border line robotic on his thought process, I still want his dream to be to take down Itachi and the Konoha village.
Also, the normal Naruto plot doesn't even apply to my rendition of it since Naruto and the rest will be in their early twenties when the timeline of the story begins.

Um.... I know this is just my own opinion but Natuto's not stupid. He is just stupid because he wasn't taught everything that a parent should do and he grew up without being taught by anyone and mostly isolated by the whole village. You can even see his intellect shines when he doesn't brute force stuff such as learning how to use his clones to master techniques to even creating his own jutsu by using his brain. Plus, Naruto isn't also naive since he doesn't even know what love is and grown up mostly isolated because he doesn't have a family.

As for sasuke's change, I don't have any complaints about that since his mode of operandi mainly stems from vengeance on itachi and such so you can work around that yourself as long as you still keep his reasons and arrogance the same as in the original.

If you want to change naruto to have a family, you literally would change naruto into a smart yet a bit naive guy whose persuit for a goal would not be the same as in the original.

His hokage thing mainly comes from being isolated and treated as a monster without anyone caring for him which is why his drive is stronger and is far relatable when he has no family. His idiocy comes from no guidance in his childhood and naive thoughts on love comes from being unlove and unable to understand love.

Also, his relationship with Sasuke would be affected as well since he cannot connect with him if he has a family to go back to.

But if you want to write it like that, I won't judge but you'll get the same results from others if you don't see the critics I wrote. This is just my opinion.
