Okay, this is something I've been planning for weeks. I still don't have a firm blueprint of the details, but I should be okay.
Alright, here's the main synopsis of this fanfic that you got curious into looking into: It will be a variety of missions with the twelve Shinobi of Konoha. (Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Neji, Tenten and Lee + the Jounin.) Now, I know Shippuuden is a very turbulent series, but these events take place after Naruto and Shikamaru defeat Hidan and Kakuzu, and before Sasuke kills Orochimaru. Why? Well first There is nothing that connects the two, one after the other. Sasuke doesn't need to kill him directly after Naruto defeats Kakuzu. Second, if you'll notice, when Shikamaru talks with Kurenai over Asuma's son/daughter, her stomach is tiny, meaning she's only a few weeks/months pregnant. But before Naruto goes off to Sage train, Kurenai looks as though she'll give birth any second. My point is, I doubt the Jiraiya Vs. Pein and Sasuke Vs Itachi events take place there and then, and are in fact spaced out at a length of time. Either that or pregnancy rules are different in the Naruto Universe. (I'm sorry for all the spoilers. Please don't sue.)
Okay, there are a few points for all the fanfic crazy Narutards out there. All the characters here are in their character. Naruto is not a psycho and Sakura is not a schoolgirl. I have thousands of favourite pairings, NaruSaku especially, but there will be no pairings in this fic. There will be cute fluffy moments to suggest it, but there will be no kissing, no lemons and no Yoai. OCs will be in this, but serve only as background characters, and will be lucky to be in two chapters, and are not Mary Sues/Gary Stus, and will not marry the main characters. Oh, and one more thing, it is highly unlikely Sasuke will be in this fic, unless by dream or vision. If you are still interested, you are a true Narutard. If not, then press your Back icon, and continue searching for your fantasy pairings like SasuSaku, GaaSaku DeiSaku or something like that. Sorry for being slightly harsh, but when your surrounded by nonsensical pairings and/or stories, it kinda drives you to the brink of insanity. Well, now I've let off some steam, it's time to continue my little introduction.
Now where was I? Ah, Shippuuden is a very fast-paced and hard going series in Naruto. Meaning, with all the threats of Akatsuki, Sasuke and Orochimaru, the writers forgot to explore the characters of Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Ino and Choji. (Shikamaru already had his time.) So, this is a perfect opportunity to tweak the character's abilities slightly. Want Tenten to have swords and axes? Want Shino to fuse with a bug to make a 50-foot spider? Then you can ask and have your ideas on an actual fanfic...if your not into fanfics yourself. And any other ideas. The Naruto fillers took a huge chunk of quality missions that I could use, so if you got any mission ideas, don't be afraid to contribute. And who knows? If you wanted a stupid pairing like DeiSaso are something, and make a quality suggestion, I might even add the pairing in for a breif moment. (Fangirls screaming heard from a distant mile.)
So, that's all I have to say for my introduction. Now, enough of my jibber-jabber, time for Naruto and his friends to shine once again.
