One-Shot Story Ideas Turned into Challenges
Chapter 1: Naruto, the Elemental Star Standalone or Side Stories
I do not own Naruto, and technically my more original ideas for the Elemental Star since I did patent them. So, use them at your leisure.
Taken from the Book the Guide on Bloodlines and Who Has Them
The Elemental Star
When looking at bloodlines lost through the ages, one that stands out the most is the Elemental Star. Classified as an elemental and dōjutsu hybrid-based bloodline, the Elemental Star is a powerful bloodline that allows the user control of every element they mastered. In addition, for each element master, the user can control a sub-element if the user can master each element that makes up its combination. For example, if the user masters a combination of water, earth, and wind, then the user can also use Ice, Tree, Sand, and Bone (Water + Earth + Wind). In theory, if a user masters all five elements, then the user can use and master every element ever invented and the only user to be able to use all five elements at once.
Its only weakness found in historical records is that compared to people with a specific elemental bloodline, such as Ice, they can overwhelm the user with their own element. However, considering that same user can master elements that can counter said bloodlines, such as lava over ice, then it is a minor in convince at best. Especially to its unique hybrid heritage making it one of the few bloodlines that are compatible with all other bloodlines, regardless of type or if they counter each other out.
A fact the Uzumaki Clan exploited as they would marry or produce children with other bloodlines to make it one of the few clans that would have multiple bloodlines in their lineage. If they had kept up such practices, then it would follow not only would every clan be related to the Uzumaki, but the Uzumaki would be the most powerful clan ever to date. However, during the Warring Clans era, a faction within the Uzumaki clan that believe Pure Uzumaki, Uzumaki born of Uzumaki, is superior to all others and thus pushed for clan marrying in the clan, with the relationship often between first cousins or siblings. Such inbreeding ironically caused the Elemental Star to be breaded it out of the Uzumaki Clan before they realized that incest can damage the genetics of a user.
Now, the bloodline is considered extinct, and in some places, treated more as legend than fact. Though, that does not stop the Uzumaki from trying to restore the Elemental Star through their seals, science, and in the rare case, the introduction of new blood. For the Elemental Star being reborn means the rebirth of one of the most powerful bloodlines in the world.
Appearance: The eye appears as the bluish-green eye with a Yin-Yang pupil in the center. For each element master, a triangle will appear until a five-point star appears on the eye. Each triangle is set in a different color, white for wind, dark blue for water, yellow for lighting, brown for the earth and red for fire.
See Naruto the Elemental Star Story for original to look at the two challenges below split into what is a pure challenge, while the other is an idea I had for the Elemental Star that never came to fruition due to time constraints and I burned myself out writing the story.
Challenge 1
The challenge one gives others the permission to write their own version with Naruto being male or female, and the main antagonist is anyone but the Uzumaki. As well be able to keep it as close to canon as possible instead of an elaborate alternate universe story it has become in the original.
Requirements for Standalone
1) Naruto must gain the Elemental Star.
2) One of, if Naruto's only primary antagonist, is a faction besides the Akatsuki that is after the young ninja due to the Elemental Star. The Akatsuki may play a significant role, but it is up to the writer. Note the other faction can be an existing Village, Country, or Clan, a dead one, or something original. The Leaf can also fit that category if the writer desire.
3) Do not make Naruto ultrapowerful. Keep it with some form of realism mixed in. He/she should work to be the top ninja with enemies that are not complete bullshit in power.
Recommendation for Standalone
1) Please use or modified the chart below for elemental bloodlines. Remember, this is not a requirement, but it would bring a smile if others used them or modify to suit your needs. Basically, it is a list that explains jutsu ranks based on the element used and its combination, as well as a list of the combination of elements. In essence, the higher the number of elements used, the more chakra required, hence the bump in rank.
D-S Rank Jutsus
Earth
Fire
Lighting
Water
Wind
C-S Rank Jutsus
Earth + Fire = Lava
Earth + Lightning = Magnetism
Earth + Water = Wood
Earth + Wind = Sand
Fire + Lightning = Solar Flare
Fire + Water = Vapor/Boil
Fire + Wind = Blaze (Blue Flame)
Lightning + Water = White Lightning
Lightning + Wind = Swift
Water + Wind = Ice
B-S Rank Jutsus
Earth + Fire + Lightning = Combustion
Earth + Fire + Water = Metal
Earth + Fire + Wind = Dust
Earth + Lightning + Water = Crystal
Earth + Lightning + Wind = Ionic Storm
Earth + Water + Wind = Bone
Fire + Lightning + Water = Scorch (White Flame)
Fire + Lightning + Wind = Plasma
Fire+ Water + Wind = Sound
Lightning + Fire + Water = Vaporize
Lightning + Water + Wind = Storm
Challenge 2
The second idea was something I really wanted to do but did not have time. Which was to flush out Naruto the Elemental Star (ES) storyline through a series of side stories that focus on the side characters to the main story. It would have ranged from the other team's mission, such Team 8/Team Spirit's mission to save Waterfall and Team 10/Team Detective working in the background during the Tea Country mission. To Colonel's Nine of Nine's thoughts during missions with Team Vixen. And earlier events describe in the story, such as Yokoshima Uzumaki rise to power and turning the Uzumaki Clan from a Clan that values family to one that Uchiha takes lessons in how to backstab others.
It did not matter so long as it follows ES's cannon and timeline, and that is the challenge I give to you. Basically, write a story of your favorite ES character and lore and just have fun.
Requirements for Side Stories
1) Must follow my Naruto the Elemental Star (ES) timeline and actions. I did keep it vague on purpose to allow for a high number of possibilities and stories, but it still must follow the established events and timeline.
2) Should focus on anyone but Naruto Ryū, Tukiko Uchiha, Hinata Hyūga, and Haku after she joined Team Vixen. Though they can feature them if they are meant to make an appearance.
3) Please consult with me on any events before or after the current chapters of ES. This is just to make sure that they stay canon.
Recommendation
1) Do not write a story based on events someone else wrote. Like, do not a Waterfall Mission based story if someone else wrote one.
2) Inform me you are writing these side stories so I can credit you in ES.
