The Commentator: A powerful Inter-Franchise entity who spends his free time travelling to different pop culture worlds and making fun of them. Likes mocking, power, world domination, dancing, singing and musicals. Also likes to fish.
The Professor: The Commentator's genius sidekick, a calm reserved individual who often has to restrain his eccentric master. Favourite show is 'Heroes'. Hates filler above all else.
Sammy the Slug: A giant, semi-anthropomorphic talking slug. Fills in the traditional role of lackey. Was the Commentator's original right hand assistant before being kicked out (Literally) for misunderstanding what 'commentary' meant for them.
For those who are interested, 'With Commentary' in this series refers to at least all three of these beings introducing, concluding and making sporadic comments throughout the parody and interacting with characters when neccesary.
Oh yes and I do not own 'Naruto' or anything related.
Commentator: Many years ago, a higher being whose identity shall remain concealed captured numerous monsters across anime, in the hopes of creating a breed of super warriors. Unfortunately, one of the experiments on a Ninetails pokemon went- kind of awry- which wouldn't have happened if a certain someone hadn't smeared slime all over the controls!
Sammy: I didn't mean to! It was an accident!
Commentator: How on Earth could leaving a trail of slime which is natural for slugs be accidental? Ahem, anyway, the results was that the Ninetails mutated into a ginormous demon- and it kind of escaped.
Professor: What do you mean it kind of escaped?
Commentator: -I'm sorry?
Professor: Either it escaped or it didn't. Which was it?
Commentator: Oh all right it escaped! The point is it found its way into the Naruto Universe, where it terrorised the local inhabitants, until the Fourth Hokage of the village of Konoha sealed it within a newly born baby who somehow already acquired a lot of hair-Don't ask me how that happened- condemning that child to a life of isolation because most people were too stupid to distinguish the between the human soul and the demonic entity- rather like how no one in Buffy and Angel could distinguish between the human who once was and the vampire demon who replaced it.
Professor: For God's sake can't you go through one speech WITHOUT ranting about 'Buffy' and 'Angel'?
Commentator: Hey, it's a major plot hole! It's bigger than all the plot holes of 'Charmed' put together.
Professor: Oh my God If I hear you rant about that series ONE MORE TIME-
Sammy: Don't be too hard Professor. He rants because he fell in love with those series, then they jumped the shark and broke his heart.
Professor: …That's extremely deep, Sammy, coming from you.
Commentator: I do not love! I just can't stand imperfections, that's all. What he should have done, however, was the sensible thing and kill the beast when-
Fourth Hokage's Ghost: For the last time, it was unkillable! Sealing it in someone was the only way to deal with it! I explained this already! Repeatedly!
Commentator: Yeah? Well what's your excuse for using your own s-
Fourth Hokage: Shh! That's not supposed to be revealed yet until chapter 367 in the manga!
Professor: Good grief, the viewers have to wait for hundreds of episodes for an important background fact to be revealed? What, does J.J Abrams write for the manga or something?
Commentator: Twelve years later…
Ninja 1: You crazy kid! How dare you vandalise our rip off of Mount Rushmore!
Ninja 2: Ahem!
Ninja 1: Sorry. Our 'homage' to Mount Rushmore!
Ninja 2: AHEM!
Ninja 1: (Groan) Our homage to Mount Rushmore.
Ninja 2: That's better!
Iruka: Naruto, this is unacceptable! You've failed the exams twice already and-
Sammy: Wait, wait, hold on for a sec! If he's failed the exams twice, does that mean he's two years older than everyone else?
Commentator: Nno. He seems to be the same age as everyone else. I don't think it's an annual thing.
Sammy: Oh. Then if the exams have already occured once, doesn't that mean that everyone else should've passed compared to the dropout?
Commentator: ...You know what, I gave up trying to understand the whole 'failed the exams three times' a long time ago.
Iruka: All right, everyone, it's time to perform the Transformation Jutsu!
(After two barely veiled character introductions later, Naruto is up. Instead of turning himself into Iruka, he turns himself into a beautiful naked woman. Iruka, naturally being torn between the image of the most beautiful thing he's ever seen and the reality that it's actually a twelve year-old boy standing in front of him, goes insane for a minute, with colour disappearing and blood somehow gushing from his nose)
Naruto: (Changes back) Haha! Like that? I call it the Sexy Transformation Jutsu!
Iruka: NARUTO, DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN! IT'S VERY CREEPY AND DISTURBING!
Shikamaru: Did Naruto just say the word 'sexy'?
Ino: Yeah. What's your point?
Shikamaru: Isn't that kind of a taboo word in children's animation?
Ino: Hey yeah! It looks like whoever dubs this anime isn't so stict with the censorship compared to others!
Shikamaru: Oh thank God! Finally! This promises to be the best U.S. version of an anime ever!
Iruka: Okay then, it's time for the final exam to decided whether or not you'll become a ninja! Now, instead of testing you on all of your ninja techniques, we'll be marking you on the one jutsu that you'll probably never use! So even if you excel at all the other techniques, if you're no good at this one, you'll still fail. By the way the jutsu is the Replication Jutsu.
Naruto: But Sensei! That's the one Jutsu I can't do!
Iruka: Oh dear. Then it looks like you'll have to be held back for another year! (Heheheheh. That'll teach you for trying to make me like underaged boys!)
Mizuki: You shouldn't judge Iruka too harshly, Naruto. He only marked you harshly because you almost tore down the foundations of his moral fibre. However, there is another way to become a ninja...
Iruka: So Hokage, what was it that you wanted to tell me?
Third Hokage: As you well know, the village, or rather it's largely extra population, shunned Naruto for innocently harbouring the nine-tailed demon fox that in no way posed a threat since being trapped or its nature leaking in any way for the past twelve years. So in order to gain the village's attention, Naruto turned to pranks. Unfortunately, and ironically, it only enforced the village's belief that he was the reincarnation of the demon fox.
Iruka: Huh?
Third Hokage: You know? Foxes are associated with cunning and trickery?
Iruka: Oh. Right. Lord, why are you telling me this?
Third Hokage: What do you mean 'why am I telling you this?' you ungrateful sod? I'm giving you important background information!
Mizuki: Aha! Behold my brilliance! I duped Naruto into getting the Forbidden Scroll so that he would get the blame and I could kill him so that no one would know of my involvement! I stole the idea from a previous trecherous ninja who got his hands on a forbidden artefact by duping a ninja dropout!
Naruto: You know I don't think it counts as your own brilliance if you just completely ripped off the idea from someone else.
Mizuki: Well, er, shut up! I changed it enough so it could count as mine!
Iruka: Plus if Naruto could steal the scroll you could have easily stolen it yourself.
Mizuki: Well I THOUGHT that if I got Naruto to get it for me, then he'd get all the blame and nobody would suspect that I had anything to do with it. I thought that was kinda obvious.
Iruka: Oh please, that was just about as obvious as the reason why the Fourth Hokage didn't kill the Nine Tails instead of sealing him in Naruto was because it was unkillable!
(Wind blows and a tumbleweed rolls by)
Mizuki: So…what's your point?
Iruka: …I'm not entirely sure.
Naruto: Wait, the Fourth Hokage did what to me?
Iruka: Errrrrr…
Mizuki: Oh thanks a lot, Iruka, I was supposed to reveal to Naruto the scarring revelation. And for that, you get to be skewered by my large, pointy, throwing thing (Says it as he throws it)
Iruka: Hey! You totally stole that from 'Naruto the Abridged Series'!
Mizuki: I did not! I was paying homage to 'Naruto the Abridged Series'!
Iruka: OW! Well, I guess it's good as time as ever to tell you Naruto, that I was just the same as your age. I grew up without parents or family, so in order to gain everyone's attention, I deliberately messed up during training, because nobody pays attention to a good student.
Commentator: What are you talking about? Students look up to the brilliant students, just look at Sasuke Uchiha!
Iruka and Naruto: ...I feel as though I have made major mistakes in my life.
Commentator: No kidding!
Naruto: Don't worry, Iruka Sensei! I'll stop him! With a technique I just learnt from the forbidden scroll!
Mizuki: You actually learnt a whole new technique in a matter of minutes! There's no way you could have done that like some hero of a novel or manga series! Oh wait.
Naruto: Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Naruto and Shadow Clones: Now it's time to fight the one-off villain!
Mizuki: ...I'm totally f****d, aren't I?
Naruto and Shadow Clones: Yep. SLAPSTICK COMEDY JUTSU!
Naruto: Hey, why exactly was that technique in the forbidden scroll?
Iruka: Well, sending sentient life to oblivion only moments after it had been created was deemed pretty unethical.
Naruto: -Oh. Right. Well it's still gonna become my insignia move!
Iruka: You do that. By the way, I think I was pretty harsh about failing you, so in return for saving my life and using a forbidden technique more powerful than the one you were marked for, I'm going to make you a genin.
Naruto: Really? Isn't this kinda unprofessional?
Iruka: Yeah well you're the main character, so if you don't become a genin, the series will end.
Naruto: Yay!
(Jumps on Iruka)
Iruka: OW, MY SPINE!
THE END
