Hi everyone,

I'm sorry it's taken a long time for anything to come from me but I've lost the inspiration to write and hardly get the time to do it now.

This is the first chance I've had in a while to do anything other than work or sleep.

I hate having to do this but I won't be finishing this story.

The best I can offer is a summary or where I did plan on taking Ash and May.

I hope you'll enjoy this summary and remember my story fondly.

Basic Trainer

Main plan for the story was to stick close to Canon and some filler and movies making small changes that would have a big effect in the future. Gain allies earlier and deprive enemies of resources, etc. Everyone would get more training and a wider skill set as well.

Tsunade and Shizune would be brought into the village before the Chunnin exams start

Tenten, Ino, Sakura and Hinata would get training from them under the guise of going to the hospital for medic training, which they'd get as well

Tsunade gets over blood phobia

Jiraiya would put the guys through the ringer for training

Anko would be herself and prank them outside of training to test situational awareness and reaction times.

Chunnin exam starts

1stexam the same

2ndexam, 12 stick together, nothing in rules say they can't ally with other teams

12 get the scrolls they need on the first day and camp for the night

Orochimaru attacks the next day with Tayuya and Jirobo

12 get separated

Team 8 & 10 vs Jirobo

Ino mind jutsu, Shikamaru holds, Hinata seals chakra points, Shino drains chakra, Kiba and Choji blast him into the forest

Team Guy vs Tayuya

Neji sees through the Genjutsu, tells Lee and Tenten to block ears, force Tayuya to retreat

Team 7 vs Orochimaru

Sasuke gets bitten

Anbu, Anko and Jiraiya turn up forcing Orochimaru to run

Naruto makes a stop gap seal for Sasuke, can't get outside help or disqualified

Get to the tower at the end of the second day

Jiraiya redoes the seal

Rest until exam is over

Naruto talks with Temari and Kankuro

Kankuro brushes him off but Temari interested when Naruto asks about wind jutsus

Tournament, same match ups due to future vision

Training montage for 3rdround

Match ups same as canon

Sasuke and Kakashi late, very nearly disqualified

Invasion starts at the same time

Tsunade and Shizune revealed as cloaked Anbu guarding Third

Jiraiya and Tsunade summons to fight giant snakes

Third, Tsunade and Jiraiya fight Orochimaru

Shizune wakes people caught by sleep jutsu with Tenten, Ino, Sakura and Hinata then set up triage centre, Tenten and Hinata main guards with Ino and Sakura acting as medics and back up guards

Death seal Orochimaru's arms

Tsunade managed to keep Third alive, barely

Third heavily injured but alive, needs to step down from Kage, in wheelchair, very frail

Orochimaru forced to run

Boys chase down Gaara and Sand nin, slowly leave couple behind to deal with sand nin/ kankuro/temari

Naruto vs Gaara

'We're not so different, you and I.' Talk no Jutsu headbutt equals Gaara friend

Tsunade made 5th Hokage

Tsunade gets read in to future info, starts bonding with Naruto

Naruto gets the necklace

Yamato starts ninetails training

Clones helping with rebuild

For their work in defending the village all Genin now Chunin, though due to age and inexperience they'll still work in teams with their Jonin sensei

Sound Four come for Sasuke, he agrees

Sasuke retrieval, Shikamaru in charge

Konoha 11 vs Sound 5

Shino and Choji vs Jirobo

Neji, Ino and Tenten vs spider

Sakura and Kiba vs split

Shikamaru and Hinata vs Tayuya

Naruto and Lee vs Kimimaru

Gaara, Kankuro and Temari come as back up

Naruto vs Sasuke at valley of the end

Joint knockout, Naruto pulls the last hit

Kakashi and Kabuto appear, Kabuto grabs Sasuke and runs

Kakashi wants to chase but prioritieses Naruto

Training Montage/2 year time skip/Neji Jonin/third dies

Ideas for new jutsu

Shino, insect manifestations? Beetle shell armour, Ant pincers etc

Choji, reversal of expansion jutsu, only partial shrink to half size, becomes denser and stronger hits

Shikamaru, shadow step, connect other shadows and jump between them

Ino, mind swap between others

Kiba, Solo wolf transformation

Hinata, jutsu used with gentle fist, develops weapon forms for gentle fist

Sakura, pain multiplier, chakra manipulates nerves to increase pain felt x10

Tenten, remote weapon control, chakra strings/seals

Neji, mobile attacking form of Kaiten

Lee, Elemental Fist fighting style, seals with elemental chakra added to attacks

Naruto actually gets taught, can safely use 5 tails

Sage training early, waited for body to be strong enough

Return to village

Save Gaara

Interrupt ritual

Gaara still has 1 tail, drained enough to wake up statue

return to Village, Sai appears

reveal that Danzo is the source of future and items

Mangekyo sharingan from dead uchiha allows genjutsu vision of most probable future based of what user knows

Further vision is pushed the more it drains user

leads to eventually blindness and death if over done

Root agent used one to tell Danzo what would happen

other Root used on Naruto cause he's integral to future

Tells Jiraiya and Tsunade

Itachi and res Nagato break the control eventually

VS res Madara

vs Kaguya

Six paths

fight

win

Naruto/Sasuke fight

Sasuke won't stay down, eventually dies from Chakra exhaustion (I don't agree with the canon explanation of Sasuke losing his bad guy energy cause he lost an arm)

Only confirmed romance, Arashi and Tenten
