As with retellings and as this will be mine, this will be an entire retelling to fix all the problems and unexplored potential within the series that I felt should have been thoroughly explained by Kishimoto but never did happen. I will be taking many elements within the fanbase and certain turns and twists of my own. This will diverge a certain amount from canon, and will be following canon where I deem fit. The major points I plan on addressing within this retelling will be, but not limited to:
-Every single plot point in Naruto, every arc, chapter, clans, and characters will have their own detailed story that I am planning to cover. Every character, including minor characters will have a more detailed and elaborate story that will explain their character beyond what Kishimoto could not or was unable to accomplish. These will be accomplished in filler chapters and arcs that will replace the filler of the series. They will not be simple filler throwaway stories however, and will be impertinent to a character's growth and define their character.
-The sibling of Naruto will have his own story and will not be a simple retelling that similarly be someone thrown in for fan wish fulfillment, with no changes whatsoever. As with many are concerned right now, the OC Haru Uzumaki will be growing in accordance with the rest of the cast and will not display anything noteworthy or major, as the concerns of multiple Naruto OC siblings are within the Fanfiction community.
-Underdeveloped clans, including Izunaka, Uzumaki, Aburame, Yamanaka, Yuki, and various others. As these will not be the official chapters to move the plot forward, they will be addressed in filler chapters of my own making, taking place between the story arcs of chapters. They will not be simple filler throwaway stories, and will be impertinent to a character's growth.
-Team dynamics. Team dynamic will not only focus on Team 7, but also 8, 10, and my own, Team 9.
-Naruto's personality. As a result of having a brother and a familial figure, Naruto will be drastically changed in this series in comparison to here. He will retain his core personality, but with a few major differences. Other than that, he should remain relatively the same. As a result of this change, Sasuke remains the same, but their relationship will be radically different.
-Sakura. Sakura in this series will grow significantly faster and stronger in comparison to Canon, and fix most of the complaints people have with her. She will partake and have an active role in more missions, and will even be the focus of certain chapters. The purpose is to add and define Sakura's motivations while keeping her core character to heart, while also having merits in areas that both Naruto or Sasuke will lack in and even rely on her. The overall goal will be to keep her strength and adding more to it, while removing the lacking growth she had in the original series.
Warning: Unfortunately also with sibling or relative OCs retelling stories, they will have to address the main tropes of all the other sibling OCs and the story itself, and so there will be similarities you will find here in comparison to other rewrites you will find elsewhere. If you can bear with these similarities, then the changes will gradually build up.
The arcs will be separated by numerous chapters, from where the chapter starts to where it ends will be also listed down below, for as a personal guide to which chapter of the arc you would like to read. The inclusion of a new arc will be an indication that the outline is complete while the draft is not, though it is subject to change:
Prologue Arc: Prologue–TBA
Land of Waves Arc: TBA
Above is just a small amount of what I plan to accomplish with this series, and will likely be a long project that I will devote to over a year of completing and fixing major plot points within the series. But if you are willing to stick around and read this from start to finish, to see what I do vastly different in comparison to Canon, then I present you:
Tales of the Uzumaki.
