This would either be simply be genius and amazing at best, or complete garbage at worst.
cause naruto did have some issue, and it smoothed out would be interesting but, it depends on whether the readers have patience to wait. cause normally, I;d spam a 5 star review cause its written well but, in the end, it just cannon made into a chp, and everything is the same.
I dont think anyone wants to read a re hash of cannon with some alterations. Plus, whilst naruto is dope, I dont like his character, its annoying and stupid, and alot of people agree. his heroic shit and goals can be summed up simply as a neglected kid wanting attention. likes its his literal goal and he says it every time. And whilst his powers are cool, he didnt work it. he has everything handed to him. And creation is with him. this is important cause he is the focus of the thing right, a MC with everything and a naruto personality is annoying?
PLus if ur plan is to smooth out cannon ..anything new? like new places or characters?
so ...I suggest do something different, immediately thats like a * pow* or something to the readers face, to get their attention and make em want to say, plus story interesting, cause otherwise its just boring. Most FF's are kinda cannon but they have an MC thats an SI or a unique power, or its AU or the MC is interesting or something, urs reading the synposis and story dosnt. so idk do something about it
other than that GL.
