Plot of Naruto

<p>I would like to share what I would have done to have Sakura's story hold more resonance with the story (at least in part 1). This is not my attempt to hate on Sakura, but simply share how I believe how I would have handed her story. </p><p>
1. Have her family in a form of low position in the village. </p><p>The Village Hidden in the Leaves is a Shinobi village with seemingly many civilian families. It would have been interesting to see how these many civilian families work within within and contribute to village as a whole. Essentially having Sakura come from the lower spectrum could have placed her more as the odd girl out. A normal girl within a class filled with many clans' offspring. This would also add more significance with her friendship and rivalry with Ino. </p><p>I would have her need shifted to uplifting her family's status within the village for her and her family have a better life, and her goal for a major part of part 1 is to rise through the ranks as fast as possible. </p><p>There is still room for her development and she could still keep major parts of her personality. I also believe this would add credibility to her initial hatred of Naruto as she superficially see's his laziness within the Academy as insulting to her and the other genius on their team, Sasuke. </p><p>2. Have her mother die during the invasion of the Konoha. </p><p>While I'm not one for tragedy for tragedy sake, Sakura sorely lacks what every other single member of Team 7 has, pain. The pain of losing Sasuke hits her hard but she is the only one who never experienced personal loss. The closest one she experienced was Granny Chiyo but her final moments was connected with Naruto and Gaara. </p><p>I don't just want her to lose her mother to be sad for a while. It leads into my next point. </p><p>3. Have Sakura journey with Naruto to find Tsunade. </p><p>Sakura had no development during this portion of the story and she had nothing to do during this time period. I'd say she should have been in that room wit Kakashi and the Jonin and after Sasuke left, Sakura would have followed. The goal of this point is to have Sakura with Naruto onto find a healer for Sasuke, Kakashi, and Rock Lee. This way Sakura could have formed a relationship with with Tsunade and Shizune and take note of their skills and they hers. This would lead credence to her asking the Hokage instead of her own Sensei for training. </p><p>I'd have Sakura, Tsunade and Shizune develop a stronger familial bond as the series goes on. </p><p>Well... that's it. Most of this pertains to Sakura during part 1 because that is where I see she needed the most change. During Part 2 Is much harder for me to shift because doing anything major would likely take away from the other Characters. </p><p>Thank you for reading. </p>

<p>I know that the main focus of the Naruto world is about Naruto & chakra. This neglects non chakra uses such as Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari, Gatō. Those names are from the very first arc of the Naruto anime and that was the direction I and many other people thought the plot of Naruto was going. Non overpowered chakra uses. Gatō was a drug lord and Zabuza was just a rogue ninja/assassin who worked for him. I think that Masashi Kishimoto had a good idea at the begining of Naruto, a simple, non overpowered story and non chakra characters were regarded. Gatō's assassins(except Zabuza) also weren't chakra uses. </p><p>Many bandits in Naruto are rogue ninja who obviously possess chakra, there are also bandits who aren't shinobi and don't possess chakra. We usually see bandits in filler episodes, movies and in the games. Most of the non chakra using characters are in non-canon content. </p><p>I'm going to make an example which is not Naruto related but it will help the point I'm trying to make. The main focus of Harry Potter is Harry Potter and magic, the non magic users are known as muggles and they are quite an important aspect in the Harry Potter plot. The main focus of Star Wars are Force-sensitive individuals but non force uses are also very important. Naruto has much more content than Star Wars and Harry Potter, Naruto has 800+ manga chapters, 220 episodes in part 1, 500 epsisodes in pert 2, 66+ episodes in Boruto, 11 movies, a few OVA's, they could of made an entire episode(s)/OVA's or even movies of only non chakra users because I believe that they are very important or they should be. </p><p>The Feudal Lords are non chakra users and they are basically the leaders of the 5 Great Nations and more. The Feudal Lords of the 5 Great Nations authorized the 5 kage summit and the Feudal Lords from 5+ countries had to be protected during the 4th Great Ninja War. After the war, don't you think that the non chakra uses would fear chakra uses and they would try to defend themselves against shinobi by building deadly weapons? And I know that there are morden weapons in Naruto like Missile launchers(in Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire). </p><p>We need to see the rise of the non chakra uses, or at least I want to see it. </p>

<p>I know that many people disapprove or entirely hate fillers in Anime especially Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. I also know that the fillers don't influence the plot of Naruto in any way and it could be seen as making the Anime unnecessarily longer and it's a cash grab by the companies who own the Naruto franchise. </p><p>I do agree with that but I can't deny that some of the fillers in both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are really good. We get to see the rest of the Naruto world and what's happening around or even inside the main continent with the Five Great Nations. We also see new counties with new villages(Shinobi villages or just regular villagers). We see new characters, shinobo or just regular people. </p><p>The world is not just about ninjas but also a normal world in some areas. </p><p>The fillers don't only give us this new content but the Movies do as well. In Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow , there are cars, not normal cars but snowmobiles in the shape of cars and in Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire there are actually rocket missiles that Konoha and Ame were going to use agaisnt each other and in Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Blood Prison there were prison guards holding guns. </p><p>People should appreciate the Naruto franchise's movies and Fillers more because they make the atmosphere in Naruto more relatable. </p>

<p>This topic is about the references. Mainly, I'd like to talk about whether to put links to the mentioned chapter/episode/databook. Also, doesn't it look redundant to put "Naruto" in there? For the anime, it's understandable since there are two series with different names, "Naruto" and "Naruto: Shippūden", but what about the manga? I found this template, that has quite some interesting features. Please share your thoughts. </p>
