In an alternate universe, a parallel Konohagakure stands tall, but the familiar faces of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are replaced by new, original characters. The Hidden Leaf Village remains a bustling hub of shinobi activity, with a Hokage at its helm; while a fresh narrative unfolds against the backdrop of iconic landmarks and landscapes.

The ninja academies teem with aspiring students, each with their own unique talents and dreams. The absence of canon characters allows for a different set of rivalries, alliances, and friendships to develop among the next generation of ninja. The Chunin Exams become a stage where these budding shinobi will showcase their skills.

While the Akatsuki may not be the looming threat, the absence of the original characters opens the door for unforeseen heroes and villains to rise, with their backstories and motivations shaping the destiny of this alternate Naruto world.

Hmm...

Ahh?

I am thinking of joining.

Awesome! If we get to six, I'll pop open the OOC.

Tempting... I might I have a character idea.

@anothered I'm willing to play the "Sasuke equivalent role" aka Shounen Rival.

Not sure how much differs from Canon, in terms of if Saint Itachi actually ethnic cleansed them.

Hmmm, interested

Will there be a Discord Server, btw?

Sounds cool!

No, sorry - I live in China - I'd need a vpn.

I'm presently thinking playing either an Uchiha or a Haruno, because I love the absurdity of a ninja with bright pink hair being actually competent (unlike a certain canon Haruno one could name) and because even if they seem cliche or a must-pick, I really do find the Uchiha pretty cool. Heck, without canon events in the picture, being an Uchiha might even be a half-safe choice... Or maybe it will still be relevant in some capacity? As the events that caused the Uchiha Massacre aren't necessarily totally specific character dependent.

Oh, I could even go as far as to combine those concepts? Have it be a Haruno bastard child of an Uchiha, who eventually awakens a Sharingan? I'm definitely a sucker for the concept of a legit way for a bloodline to show up outside the usual gated community of the proper clan.

Understandable.

Hides the fact that he is running an RP where China and the PLA are foes trying to conquer ASEAN.

Sorry of the stuff in the strikethrough is insensitive instead of humorous.

Sounds like Sarada, haha.

I'M SO OFFENDED - EURGH, I COULD JUST FIREBALL JUTSU YOU RIGHT NOW.

It's OK, I'm nice enough, haha.
