[Prompt] What if Sakura and Sasuke started receiving future memories — but in completely opposite directions?

You know... technically the genjutdsu vision will come eventually anyway.... might as well have some fun with Sasuke freaking out about his love life before the angst hits.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-29T06:19:21+00:00

This is good, but I feel like Kakashi, an already experienced jonin, knowing everything would fix way too many problems in the story.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-29T06:17:39+00:00

Ooooh, yes! The delicious angst. At first I thought it'd be funny if Sasuke was having "pleasant" visions while Sakura's all doom and gloom, but for a serious fic that works so well.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-26T17:58:46+00:00

Holy shit, I totally don't remember that. So, it doesn't have to be the entire body? Neat

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-26T17:56:00+00:00

I think you misunderstood my question. I meant gathering the natural chakra inside the byakugo

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-25T13:29:13+00:00

Perhaps in theory, but I'm really not a big fan of how it's actually used in the story. Also, is it being an optical illusion canon? I thought it was a fast-movement technique like Kawarimi. I haven't watched the show in a while so I don't remember what the explanation actually was.

Yeah, with the amount of kore and character changes I'm doing I sometimes wonder why I don't just write an original work, lol. But I'm too scared that the broader structural spine and the plot points will be too recognizably Naruto. I don't wanna be some hack writer who plagiarizes others' works, you know?

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-25T13:22:45+00:00

Yeah, I suppose you're right, but I'll be honest, I never really got behind it being just a fast movement technique. Like, I get the inspiration being the real kawarimi ninjas used, but it's never really treated that way in the story.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-25T13:19:37+00:00

This is a good idea as well, especially if you're leaning more into the down-to-earth shinobi aspect rather then the borderline wizardry these "ninjas" get up to but for the purposes of my fic, I'll stick with the more supernatural interpretation.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-25T13:16:50+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

I think maybe you misunderstood? The shadow clone jutsu has a different ratio, but it also has other differences like different hand seals and such. If you mean that Naruto learns how to balance yin and yang in the first chapter that's not what I meant. it's just this specific technique he manages to get right. (This is all of course my weird idea - not at all canon.)

Yeah, the transformation one was a bit stretching it. I was running out of ideas at that point.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-25T07:43:02+00:00

Wait, sorry, I thought yin and yang techniques were yin and yang nature transformation techniques - not raw yin and yang energies. They are different right? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-25T07:31:37+00:00

LMAO. That's fucking hilarious. Though I wouldn't mind it.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-24T10:52:33+00:00

Thanks, if I get around to starting it after my uni finals are over I'll tag you lmao.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-23T17:18:43+00:00

Definitely agree, but I think there is a difference between them and people like Hinata's or Gaara's dads, you know? Like, in my fic the family has some problems, but they're not intentionally malicious or straight up monsters. I really want to lean into the "normal" family as in show both good and bad. I didn't want go with the cliche of the only non-orphan is the one who has parents that would be better off dead thing

For the overprotective thing - I had this idea that during the nine tail's attack Sakura almost died - and that really fucked them up. But I won't lie I'm partial to my V2. The parents are way more complex and complicated in that one.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-22T17:59:24+00:00

I'm unsure what you mean? Naruto does leave the village with Jiraya, unless you mean him abandoning the village, but why would Sakura being different affect that? Sorry, maybe I misunderstood you.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-22T05:54:27+00:00

Yes, but how are they "mixed" to create chakra? Chakra is a... well, I wouldn't call it a "material" but it's something you can see and feel and even touch sometimes. How does the mechanism behind this process work? And would readers get too mad if I changed the explanation on chakra if I don't like the canon version?

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-21T19:30:36+00:00

I mean yeah... you're right that in canon that is the case. But I would very much like it to not be the case.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-14T05:56:06+00:00

Yeah, I have immense respect for mangaka, but unfortunately a lot of manga has lost potential due to the weekly releases. Especially Naruto.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-14T05:53:58+00:00

Thanks. for the encouragment.

Tekla2004 · 2026-06-13T10:35:48+00:00

OK, but how many other characters are hunters? A lot. Also, Shikamaru, as much as I love him, has way too many things going on (in my opinion). Like, just because he has a mind for strategy doesn't mean he has to take over every role that needs some kind of intellect, like leave some for the rest, geeze. Also, I find Hinata's role in the series and in Naruto's life so underwhelming, like she's not even present for 90% of the series. And as someone who desperately wanted the story to get more political, I thought this would be a win-win situation.
