Naruto AU COME ONE COME ALL!

[Danyel]

So I was thinking of doing a Naruto RP and this time, a rewritten version of it and this includes of course the what ifs such as what if Naruto doesn't have Kurama, what if Sasuke never left the village and all that.

In a nutshell, we'll be playing the canon characters themselves in the direction that most fandom think how Naruto should have been, per say lesser chakra nukes and elaborated character limelight that is not named Naruto nor Sasuke. Do let me know what you think and of course, there can be an OC but that will be extremely rare and as of now, I badly need two Co-GMs so that I may tell my devious plans!

Things I have for sure:
Minato is not dead. He is Hokage but it doesn't mean Naruto would be taking the same direction that Boruto is going through right now.
Sakura is not useless. For those who are willing to play her and exactly knows how what she should have been.
Naruto and Sasuke... this is an iffy topic and I'd rather have it discussed through PMs to those whoever decided to play em' Sasuke is still the sole survivor of the Uchiha though.

Would this be pre or post timeskip as far as character abilities go

[Danyel]

@Fabricant451 Pre-Timeskip. I don't need to elaborate on the power levels, part 1 power levels where Kakashi is top dog.

We're basically gonna start right after the graduation then deal with respective P.O.Vs aka missions such as Bell Test for Team 7 etc.

Power levels,I hate to discuss it but I made it clear on set of my check that we're not gonna have chakra nukes.

Here's how my list goes:

Power Levels Prior Chuunin Exam

Neji- I place Neji as the strongest because I believe he is portrayed as the strongest during the part 1 stages, his skill in Byakugan is unsurpassed as well as Taijutsu.
Lee- He is only stronger than Neji with gates but that's a one time move so he is the same: weaker than Neji like in Part 1. Lee is clearly faster than Sasuke and better at taijutsu.
Sasuke- nuff said. He deserves being the 3rd strongest rookie, I would have said a close 2nd because he is smarter than Lee.
Shino- cuz bug no jutsu.
Naruto- meat head. shadow clones.
Shikamaru- He can beat Naruto cuz smarts but he lacks firepower.
Chouji- minus the pills.
Kiba- cuz doggy style.
Ten Ten- Weapon spam.
Hinata > Ino =>Sakura.

TAKE NOTE: This is the official power levels prior Chuunin Exams. This is debatable though but I think I made it reasonable. Naruto is barely gonna have plot armor here, I aim for realistic fights. I'll be honest, Sakura is so useless in Part 1.

These power levels is what I believed to be the most believable.

It's bad that my first thoughts were to take Sasuke and basically rebuild him from the ground up (I really don't like Sasuke, see), but even I can realize that's a terrible, terrible idea.

I dunno, Naruto's always been one of those series where I liked the world setting but wasn't too keen on the plot, and whilst there's characters I did like I was never too keen on the focus characters (really, really don't like Sasuke, and to a somewhat lesser extent Sakura for that matter). So I guess this isn't a full commitment but at the very least I'm interested in seeing how this plays out for now. XD

[Fabricant451]

Even though Tenten is my girl I will legit take up the Sakura mantle because I've always wanted to play a character that does fuckall.

[Danyel]

@Rin I'd actually love to see how a people who dislikes Sasuke plays Sasuke lol
I have higher standards when it comes to Naruto and Sasuke, that is why I prefer it through PMs to those who wants to play them.

Glad you're interested even though not committed.

My aim for this Naruto RP is to flesh out all Konoha 12 and some side characters like Asuma/Kakashi. Let's be honest, the bad thing with Naruto as a series is pacing and imbalance screentime. All I need is the cooperation of players and their willingness/creativity to make the RP legit and the Part 1 vibe.

For example, Naruto and Sasuke's friendship should be believable.

Sasuke's genius status actually legit making sense instead of having his power ups handed to him.

Everybody would love a Rock Lee screentime too xD

[Danyel]

That being said, I already have half the stuff in motion. I just need to present to you guys a colorful Opening and set of standards/rules etc.

[Rin]

I have higher standards when it comes to Naruto and Sasuke

@Al Jelal

And there's the reason why I don't feel like I can commit to Sasuke at least. XD Plus I'd probably change so much he'd be practically unrecognizable anyways which defeats the point a bit really. ^^;

Everybody would love a Rock Lee screentime too xD

@Al Jelal

There is only one thing I would change about Rock Lee, and that would be that he'd be allowed to actually win fights.

...But anyways, guess I'll take a moment to actually think seriously about what to do if this RP works out for me. Hmmm.

[mickilennial]

I recall a time where I played Yamanaka Ino in a prospective project. Similar to the idea of making her more intelligent, I had thoughts on how to make her story as a genin more compelling. Not sure how much I can commit without a OOC to see if it falls within my preferences, but posting mild interest as a icebreaker.

[Weird Tales]

I would love to play one of the Jinchūriki

[Weird Tales]

someone needs to do alternate Universe Sasuke lol!

[Danyel]

@Weird Tales Not this early. We only have like Gaara and Naruto. Hmm.... that Sasuke sucks.

[SoleAccord]

I'm interested in this, wouldn't mind trying Tenten or a reimagined Hinata.

[Danyel]

@SoleAccord I deemed Ten Ten the strongest Kunoichi of Konoha 12 in Part 1 tbh, anyone who has the guts to face Temari in the early days has my respect. Not even the likes of Sakura, Hinata and Ino can lit a candle to her and so she's default the strongest girl in the K12 in this RP.

@Al Jelal

I'm glad we can agree on something. Tenten is the baddest bitch of them all.

[BladeSS4]

How much of an AU is this going to be? Is this Alternate Universe just what if certain characters of Naruto didn't do something or did do something that would change the story, or is this an Alternate Universe with characters what weren't in the canon story of Naruto along with a few canon ones?

[Weird Tales]

@Al Jelal that susake is hilarious. I think I'm going try and make a cs of a more loving Sasuke

[mickilennial]

I do have a principal concern, though. How the hell did Minato let the Uchiha Massacre go down? I can see why Sarutobi Hiruzen did, given the events that led up things and the balance of power of Konohagakure of the time, but I do not see Minato accepting what occured. How many variables have you actually looked into per alternate events? Wouldn’t it be a more interesting event to have the Uchiha Massacare not happen and have the predisposed Uciha Revolt occur in-game? A internal Civil War could be very interesting.

Also, I feel like deeming Tenten as more skilled at the time of Naruto's graduation from the academy a no-brainer. Her team is older than the graduates of that year and thus have actual missions under their belt.

[Rin]

@InkarnateBut but but how can I make Sasuke into an angsty edgelord if his entire family wasn't murdered? D:

Joking aside, that part seems a bit too big to change without completely divorcing the new version of Sasuke from the original, but that is a good point... Hmmm.

[Gowi]

@Rin

AU’s persist because we want to interpret characters differently and more cohesively, no?

But yes, you’re right that the one-dimensional “edgelord” variant of Sasuke wouldn’t make much sense if his clan hasn’t yet rebelled but it could provide crucial character development and a vital character moment down the line. At least, it would in my perspective. Perhaps the GM has planned for this; there are many ways I could see that the Uchiha Massacare still happening with Minato as hokage. Such as the idea that Danzo green-lights the operation without approval from the hokage thus leading to him either becoming a missing-nin criminal after the fact or killed by Minato as recompense and consequence.
