so ch15 is being placed on hold for a little due to me hating spelling mistakes and wanting to fix them. so I'm going to be rewriting my first few chapters. I'll be adding a few things here and there too.

so in the meantime, here is some scraped ideas and other things.

p.s. if you would love to see me rewrite some of the scraped ideas or incorporate them in a unique way, let me know, either pm or in the reviews.

here's how this'll go

idea (why idea was scraped)

originally it was Tobirama and Madara who convinced Hashirama that keeping the bijūs was a good idea (scraped because I didn't see a reason for Madara to do it.)

Minato was originally going to tell Hiruzen of the mark instead of the shinigami (no particular reason for why this was scraped, I just didn't want to do it.)

originally, Naruto was going to save Hinata from the kumo ambassador. (this was scraped because I wanted Hinata to be strong and not arm candy for Naruto.)

there was going to be a conversation between Kakashi, Hiruzen, Danzo, and the two elders about Naruto's befriending (this was scraped because it made no sense for Kakashi to tell them this, especially not Danzo, who if he heard this, would use this to his advantage.)

root agents disguised as civilians were going to attack Naruto, so he could be Isolated, and Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji, and Sasuke were going intervene on one of these attacks. there Naruto's friendship with these characters would truly begin. (scraped because I dislike the whole civilians attacking Naruto cliche. even if it's revealed to be Danzo's meddling.)

after the intervention, Naruto was going to hang out with the 8, and then eventually they would escort Naruto home, where a ANBU Kakashi would briefly thanks them for protecting Naruto, there Shikamaru would attempt to find out why Naruto is so hated, and Kakashi would be as vague as possible. (scraped because the former was scraped.)

Naruto was going to be aware of his jinchūriki status in ch2. (scraped because I just didn't like the idea anymore.)

Hidan and Kakuzu were originally going to show up and fight team 7 after the team left the wave. so that the Akatsuki could get a test of Naruto's strength (scraped as I decided against showing the Akatsuki after the action that was the wave arc, oh and incase you are wondering why these two and not, say itachi and kisame, it's because I love the interactions between these two.)

Gaara was originally not going to exist at all. (scraped because I love this character)

in the Kumo kidnapping part, Naruto was going to kill the Kumo ambassador. there was going to be a whole scene where ANBU agents [specifically Kakashi, Tenzo, Itachi, Shisui, and Yugao] comfort him, after seeing that Naruto is struggling to deal with his first kill. (scraped because the other idea was scraped.)

there was a original character named Uchiha Uchiwara, he was going to be a character that became Naruto's caretaker, under the orders of Konoha, that had a whole character arc that ended in tragedy, here it is in a nutshell [he was under orders from Konoha to be Naruto's caretaker, due to him having a mangekyou, and his loyalties being far from the Uchihas and closer to Konoha, he originally was going to hate being Naruto's caretaker, seeing Naruto as a annoying brat, but eventually he would have a entire Iruka arc, slowly opening up to the blonde and starting to see him as a surrogate son, it would have been revealed that he lost his ability to reproduce due to a poison by Chiyo, and his girlfriend who he planned on marrying after the war, and would have been happy with the blonde, however since he is an Uchiha... well you can see where this was going. Naruto would came home to a bloody and beaten Uchiwara, who would have embraced Naruto in a hug] this character would have had major impacts on Naruto, in fact originally, the reason Naruto loved Icharku's ramen was because Uchiwara did. infact after his death, Naruto would have gone berserk. here's how it would have gone.

Uchiwara: sees ANBU Itachi Itachi? what are you doing here?

Itachi:...

silence filled the room, before it finally hits Uchiwara.

Uchiwara: no... don't tell me that your father is actually going ahead with it.

Itachi sighs I'm sorry, Uchiwara-sensei.

Uchiwara: that fucking idiot. sighs and I guess that the village has order the death of all the Uchihas?

Itachi: nods

Uchiwara: sighs figures, pulls out a kunai well, I'm not going down without a fight.

Itachi: pulls out tantō

they fight, Itachi overwhelms Uchiwara

Uchiwara: coughs guessed I trained you too well, huh?

Itachi:...

Uchiwara: could you... just do one last request for me?

Itachi: I suppose. what is it.

Uchiwara coughs I'm not going to live, not with the injuries I now have... so please, allow me to see Naruto, one last time, I think I'll have enough time to see him again.

Itachi: granted, goodbye Uchiwara-sensei.

timeskip

Naruto: Uchiwara?

Naruto opens the door to see a bloody Uchiwara.

Uchiwara: Naruto... coughs

Naruto: is surprised and is crying Uchiwara!

Naruto runs up to him.

Uchiwara: hugs Naruto thank you Naruto, for giving this bitter old man some happiness before he died. dies

Naruto is left crying and he eventually goes berserk.

(the reason this character was scraped was because I didn't want to deviate from the story by adding a new OC)

and finally, the original name for this story was Naruto. The all tailed jinchūriki (scraped because I hated this title)
