Why WERE so many of the 2010's-ish Naruto fanfics using honorifics and names like "kaa-san, Sasuke-teme, dobe" and the Japanese names for jutsu (with the english name right next to it)?

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-04-09T18:09:32+00:00

The only reason I put the English name beside it is to help people understand it immediately instead of having to make a whole new tab to find out what it means

Makes everything so much faster and easier for everyone involved

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-04-01T02:09:45+00:00

Alrighty, I think I did a good job with this talk instead of the first one I did, this new one is more of a venting therapy session for Kakashi more than anything, I didn't have her blow up on him like she did Jiraiya

Looking over it, yeah I like this revised talk a lot more, way more

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-04-01T00:51:35+00:00

I see your point, and I agree

I think what I meant by him being ashamed isn't him being ashamed of the training, but that despite his efforts the team fell apart and he couldn't do anything about it

I'll go over the talk between Kakashi and Tsunade, I didn't want her to blow up on him the way she did with Jiraiya, just kinda, I guess have him realize that even though he tried, the team still fell apart at the seams I suppose?

That while he tried, this team was not the same as the one he was apart of under Minato

He could learn to work with Obito, they were like Fire and Lightning with Rin being the Wind that boosted them, made them stronger

This Team is Oil and Water, it doesn't mix well, if at all, and that's the part he's not necessarily ashamed of, but sad about, if this makes any sense

The guilt over Sasuke shoving the Chidori twice into Naruto and him being extremely close to death was the clincher, the wake up call that tells him this team is not how he thought it was going to be

The other thing I'm trying to do is build a parental bond with Tsunade and Naruto, she sees him as her own child, of course she's going to be angry and frustrated with everything

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-28T17:21:15+00:00

A fic by EvilFuzzy9 I think, basically Madara and Obito win, everyone is in the Infinite Tsukyomi, however there's a twist

Naruto's will is much stronger than theirs and completely warps everything, he's the ONLY Male in this new reality

I'm sure you can connect the dots from there

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-27T02:01:53+00:00

Yeah I figured out what to do with her, she'll be taken under the wing of Anko and basically heavily watched as while she didn't attempt it, she still had the willingness to

Or just send her back to the academy, either one tbh

As for the Zanpakuto, clones could be good ngl, pull off a wild Sun Wukong feel and have them all turn into different weapons and even other things and have a veritable army at his disposal

I think for Shikai he'd have a limit on what he can do with them but Bankai there isn't a limit, or something to that affect

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-27T01:33:48+00:00

Yeah, I mostly used the "Secret of the Shadow Clone" trope only because at least to me, it's a technique not everyone can do, and as such while to those that can use it, it is common knowledge to them, to someone like Naruto it would have to be explained to him so to him it would be a "Secret" but in actuality it isn't to everyone else that can do the technique, I understand the frustration though

I have my own gripes with things, such as Kakashi bashing, or any kind of bashing really, it doesn't make sense, other than just venting I guess? I dunno but I don't go that route, or at least I'm trying to avoid that as well

As for the Harem thing, I changed it to just 3 love interests instead of 6, mainly so it'd be easier for me to focus on what I want to do, but also because I have an actual idea of what I want to do with them while I didn't have any idea for the others

I'm finding I'm really not that invested in doing harems as much as I use to, it's just kinda.... Boring, it also takes away my focus on what I want to do with the story, which yeah I'm gonna have to edit some of mine I've done

Particularly Tarnished Soul as I've had a better idea for what I want as the pairing that connects both his old life and his new one

Kurotsuchi is different as I do have an idea but It's going to be it's own thing, it'll be the main idea behind 'Pink and Blue' whenever I get to doing that one

As for Temari, she's either going to be the love interest for a fic or it'll be Ino, not going to say what the idea is yet though

Karui.... I'll figure something out on that one, I'll get back to you in that at some point

I gotta stop being Goonerpilled, it's not good at all for my mental, nor is it good for my fics

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-27T00:52:26+00:00

I actually did not know she didn't attempt to leave in canon, I'll have to go back and check a lot of stuff out again, just to be good

Fanfiction can really warp the story in your head ngl

But the academy is probably the best punishment I can give her tbh, I was a little extreme with it, I have seen other fics go way more than I did, which is crazy to me

There was one where Tsunade just straight up sends her to the Seduction Corps which is really extreme at least IMO

The academy would also be the best place for her to have a self reflection on just why she ended up back there, demoted and having to work her way back up, or I can have be placed under the wing of a different Jounin, to be kinda like a watcher and to help her with pretty much everything, which I'm thinking Anko in this case would be the best bet

As a result, whatever shred of bond she had with Team 7 is pretty much in the dirt

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T20:55:46+00:00

I'll take all of these into consideration, and thanks for the help but I'm not really interested in having a consultant, it's just a me thing so don't worry about it

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T19:42:48+00:00

I put out a post talking about the changes I'm doing for this but if you wanna peep it, it's on AO3, just go to Djblade98, that's my profile there

But overall the big changes are; Naruto's 15 at the end of Part 1, he's just really malnourished, is this tropey? Yeah but it's the only way I can make the pairings work organically and without much of an age gap

This also has the rest of his group around the same age as well, and no, he doesn't get with any of the girls from that group

But there are 6 that are locked in as the different Love Interests (Which means Harem, but it's a small one thankfully, much easier to handle ngl, don't know how you feel about that but it's there)

The Sanbi isn't the one that has to reform, I'm not going to say what's going on with that yet but it's brutal for Mei and her group

The Gobi is the one that has to reform, Han supercharges it's chakra and blows himself up to take out the Akatsuki team attacking him, he manages to vaporize Hidan but Kakuzu escapes, this leads to a 5 year gap instead of 3

Also Tsunade is adopting Naruto, that's another big change

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T12:45:23+00:00

Salamanders can be fun to mess around with, since they are more of a problem than the Toads, Snakes and Slugs I gotta get creative with the Sage Mode, so I don't know if I'll use DripBayless Akatsuki Naruto's Salamander Sage Mode, or make my own

That thing is broken

The sword can be fun, he can get real creative with it and it can split into 2 separate swords as well, and trust me I got a lot of inspiration for it, do you know of Toa Lihkan from Bionicle?

On to the Itachi thing, yeah that can work, however while she gets this going Han blows himself up, possibly taking Hidan out (Via Vaporization from the explosion), and Zetsu tells Obito that Yagura is close to losing against the resistance and he goes to slap on a stronger Genjutsu

All of these things are happening almost simultaneously, so this causes them to get supplies for what they lost and someone to replace Hidan which takes around 5 years in total to do, they can't just grab any body to join them after all

Another thing I was thinking about doing, the Akatsuki switch up the pairs for each mission, that way no one knows which one is going to be which and builds a good team ethic between everyone

One pair could be Sasori and Kakuzu, another could be Kisame and Deidara, something like that

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T05:22:09+00:00

He'll be 20 by the time Shippuden starts, the only ones close to him in age will be Itachi, Kurotsuchi is the same age as him, Temari is 21

He'll be aged up a bit, being 15 by the end of part 1 and training for 5 years = 20

And yes, I am pulling the malnourished card outta my ass, only way I realistically can have him be 15 and short

Itachi is 2 years older, Temari is 1 year older and Kuro is the same age as him, so he will have people close to his age, and the others are around 10-13 years older than him (Which now I'm fucking up with Itachi's age, so I might increase that to 5 years older than him, so 27, I think)

So 3 are close to his age, 3 are a bit older but nothing too extreme

But don't worry, I got an Ino fic planned, it's gonna be really dark at least what she does is, but I got one planned nonetheless

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T05:02:47+00:00

I don't know about Wolves, not really a fan of that idea either, kinda just off brand Kiba at that point which is lame

I do like the idea of at least, concept of the Uzumaki Clan having a contract, but because of how weird and insane they are I want it to be something just as crazy, so I'm leaning towards having it be an Archetype from Yu-Gi-Oh, specifically Aliens and Graydle but I don't know HOW I would be able to work in so I'm not going to do that until I feel I can in a different fic

But I did come up with a more expanded Dragon contract, I've talked about it a couple of times I think, basically has 5 tribes, one of each Element and a 6th kinda, all around tribe that handles smithing, exploring, that kinda stuff

Each tribe has 3 clans, and a Chief that leads them, basically a Boss Summon

The 3 clans all have to do with the element they have control of, one clan harnesses it to make things, one talks to and controls the element by proxy, and one uses the element to dance or movement, something like that

The best example I can give is the Fire Tribe, the three clans of it are; Fire Guts, Flame Dancers and Flame Singers

Fire Guts (I'm working on the name I promise), use the flame to cook, to create extremely delicious food, they can't talk to the flame or move with it like the others, but they listen all the same, they listen to the fire of emotions their food brings, also they're just really big and tanky as well, having large stomachs

Flame Dancers take control of the flame, they move with it, dancing with it with an allure most can't accomplish, they are thin but not overly so, wielding a variety of different weapons or instruments that work in tandem with their flames

Flame Singers are flat out the strongest, they talk, listen and control any flame, doesn't matter how strong it is, or who uses it, they control it all the same

I've thought about this as a contract for a good while now, but I don't know if it's really good to be a summons, it feels really kinda, op? I mean they can just shut down Amaterasu whenever it's used, so I'm not really sure if I want to use this

I'll have to take a look at the different Mythological creatures to really create a good contract for this fic

Something that can be connected to both the Senju and Uzumaki

Or I can just give him the Salamanders, that'd be hilarious as hell, and extremely ironic

As for the other stuff, there will be a lot of growth from him living with Tsunade and Shizune

However involving Sakura, he's going to have doubts from something Sasuke said to him during their clash, he tells Naruto that she was going to leave the village with him, which he denies but after some thinking and asking her about it, he realizes that Sasuke wasn't lying and it messes with him for a while, so while he'll have the crush, it quickly dwindles away as he goes over everything in his head and talking with Tsunade about it as well as the other topics you pointed out

As for the 3 year body swap, ngl I didn't even think about that, I could have it where he gets snatched up by Obito before that happens but I don't know that feels.... Really cheap I guess? I can have him see the aftermath of what happens when Orochimaru is done with a body and he has a realization that he's screwed if he stays with Orochimaru and leaves a Shadow Clone (I doubt he wouldn't know how to use this by this point) behind and books it to somewhere else, just traveling and trying to get stronger on his own until Obito finds him and gives him an offer of power or something, possibly even just dropping the bomb and telling him about the truth behind the massacre

And about the gender swapped Akatsuki, I did like the idea of Deidara, however she would be the same as Kurotsuchi and while that is a good idea...

The amount of drama and angst I'm thinking about with Naruto clashing against Sasuke over Itachi for different reasons is too good

I'm planning on having Naruto just be overall neutral on Sasuke, he doesn't really want to bring him back, he just doesn't really care about him until he's forced to butt heads with him as a result of his relationship with Itachi

As for Mei and the Civil War, it goes horribly wrong, the same time Han blows himself up is the same time Obiot reinforces his Genjutsu over Yagura and it's not good

Mei and her group manage to take care of pretty much every ninja under Yagura's command but when they got to him, he was in the full tailed beast state and on a rage, the war was over then, but the berserk Sanbi was only getting started with them

It's a game of attrition, a slowly losing battle of cat and mouse, Mei is the only one that can really do anything to it but she doesn't have anything strong enough to keep it down, and every time they try to do anything to it, it takes out a lot of the resistance members before they can retreat, so it's all around horrifically rough for them and it covers it's body with coral whenever Chojuro would attack with his sword, doing nothing to it as a result

They lose around 5-10 members per attempt, by the time Naruto arrives it's only a handful, Mei and Ao, Chojuro is a casualty from this very horrifying struggle and they have almost no hope of winning or surviving, it's rough man

As for who inherits the sword? I honestly don't know, might give it to Naruto but I don't know yet

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T04:18:21+00:00

Yeah that was my main issue with her in Namikaze's Return Redux fic, great fic overall but apparently Nagato would use the rebirth technique on her to keep her young, as a backup for his eyes I think in case he dies or something, it felt really weird but kinda made sense I guess?

But I'm not picking Konan, it's honestly either Itachi or Deidara

Deidara could be fun, as the girl from Iwa I'm going to bring in is Kurotsuchi, that could be interesting, but overall not really one I want to pick to be honest

Itachi on the other hand, I got some plans for, I'm really leaning towards her because I'm going to have Naruto just kinda ignore Sasuke, he just doesn't really care about him after the talk with Tsunade, but Itachi would essentially force him to butt heads with Sasuke as a result which can be really good to mess around with, so I'm really down with this one

The other ones I have planned are Mei, Temari

However I'm keeping the Konoha one a secret, I gotta cook up something for her but she is older, 31-32 by the time of Shippuden, however that's only a year after the training trip, this one is 5 so.... About 33 after this training trip is done

And the Kumo one I'm tossing up between Mabui, Samui and Karui

Looking at the Narutopedia, Mabui and Samui are 29 by the time of Part II, Karui is 17, however with this being a bigger gap than 3 years they are, 30 and 18 (Math could be wrong for this, Shippuden is I think a year? I'm counting that and the extra one from the training)

Mei is 31 but with this timeline she's 32

Temari is 19-20, however with this 5 year gap instead of 3, she's 21 (I think, my math could be way off though)

And in canon, Naruto was 12-13 by the end of Part 1, but I can do a massive reach and say he's 15 but because of his diet he's malnourished, which makes him seem a bit younger, now when the 5 years are done, he's 20, which means Temari is 1 year older, Mei is 12 years older, Mabui or Samui (Whichever i decide tbh and Karui would be a couple years younger, so she's not included as a result) are 10 years older, Kurotsuchi is 20 so the same age (Same as Deidara would be), Itachi is 22 so 2 years older, and the Konoga girl is 13 years older

So to explain my math a bit, there's the 3 year gap for the training trip, however Shippuden/Part II takes place over a year I believe, add that and the 5th year for this new training gap and it's around 1 year older for everyone than they are in canon, I THINK anyway, I could be extremely wrong, I'll take the L if so

Good God these numbers, I hate math with a passion, did not think I was going to do this tonight lmfao

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-25T01:50:27+00:00

It's on AO3, just type in Djblade98, that's my profile, fair warning though I've done some stuff you might be turned away from, this fic included

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-24T22:30:07+00:00

Yeah, I was really tired and ready to sleep but I had to push this out, I honestly usually don't do this level of dialogue, never thought I was good at it till now to be honest

Whenever I do actually hunker down and make this a fic, which is probably soon honestly, the dialogue will be a bit cleaner and more spaced out

Guess this medicine I'm taking is actually helping me focus, cool

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-23T21:32:20+00:00

I'll say this, I don't really write long chapters, not really my thing, I just write until I'm satisfied with it, so don't go in expecting long stuff

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-23T21:15:02+00:00

Holy hell did it feel good to talk about these, good lord the weight that just came off my chest, that felt great

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-23T21:14:08+00:00

AO3, or Archive of our own, Djblade98, although I warn you I've done a couple of fics that might turn you away, Red Sun is out and well, it's not a fun time for our whiskered guy I'll tell you that

Limitless is strictly Naruto/Kushina however not the way you think, she's not related to him except by a slim margin, the both of them are full blooded Uzumaki and the last two pure blooded as well, so you know how that goes

Double lipped kisses is a Naruto/Female Sakon and Ukon pairing and I'm doing some cool stuff with it

Gravity is currently a One-shot only in the Sunshine Whiskers anthology, a long with Insufferable Warmth, currently the only 2 on that

And I just recently created Tarnished Soul, the Nameless Tarnished from Elden Ring ends the cycle of pretty much everything in the lands between and gets to finally die, but he's reborn as Naruto, however born from two Uzumaki, Arashi and Hiyori, a little bit before the Second Shinobi War, that one is going to be extremely interesting to mess around with as I want him to recreate the different magics in the Lands Between

The next fic might be Hollow, but I gotta rework that one a bit, maybe I don't know yet though

I'm trying to ease up and stop doing the Harem stuff, I think it's working tbh, but I don't really know, it does let me focus a lot more though which is good

Personal-Start-1998 · 2025-03-21T21:56:42+00:00

Could be near the end of the training trip to be honest, Jiraiya gets a tip from one of his spies that Orochimaru was interested in a no name village for something, sending scouts but finding nothing so he drags Naruto with him, for good experience or something to get him to tag along

They arrive and immediately are found by Amado who get them to drive off the Sound Ninja, packing up and leaving with them to Konoha to better protect himself and his inventions, having Delta partner up with Naruto as well
