What if? Naruto is raised and trained by Konoha's S-Rank missing-nin legendary Snake sannin a.k.a. Orochimaru the Mad scientist, how it will change Naruto's nature? Will he become cruel and cold person? Will he become mad scientist like orochimaru? Will he remain prankster like before? What influence will Orochimaru do on Naruto? Warning : 1. Story is gonna be slow, quite lot of initial chapters are around training arc (ex. first chakra training, basic ninjutsu training, basic weapon training). 2. There will be lot of killing, massacre and lot gore (maybe). 3. No harem, also not much romance either 4. This Naruto is not going to be op from starting for long time, he will gained his power and experience through hard work, his journey will start from weak to strong 5. I haven't read Boruto Manga, no offence but I watched Boruto anime and i didn't like it very much, so probably there will be no Boruto plotline. 6. Our Naruto is going to be battle maniac like his original ancestors Uzumaki and Senju clan members 7. Plot will mostly stay same as original (with slightly changed and some different new characters). What to expect :- 1. Lot of training 2. Lot of original arcs (with slight change) 3. Smart and cunning mc Disclaimer :- First i don't own Naruto and it's characters (except original characters that i will create) PS :- it's my first fanfiction that I'm writing, I'm hoping it will turn out well and good. All reviews and criticism are welcome. English and grammar will be fine, i will try to create good dialogues and scenarios.
