Top 5 Alternative Main Characters

[Joker]

Sannin, Akatsuki, Sound 5, or Each part of the story focuses on one Jinjuuriki, and their life.

 

[-Punk-]

Definitely

I imagine it couldn't be much of a long-running anime but reallllly interesting nonetheless.

Indeed ,their perspective would be very interesting .

Akatsuki

A kage.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

I think the hardest ones to pull off would be the Akatsuki and Rock Lee (since Kishi would restrict him to taijutsu, which might create barriers along the way). I feel like #4 is a type of scenario that could make an amazing secondary manga once the series is over... since you can take a character and reference events that happened in the original and make readers narutogasm because of it. Like when they had Kimimaro meet Zabuza and Haku in his childhood (anime only).

And for #1, I feel like you could pull off a situation in which Sasuke goes missing/captured. The team might either
a) break apart but realize that they need each other for their goals and go to rescue Sasuke
b) try to keep their team compact without Sasuke but realize that it's useless without Sasuke there (Jugo goes wild, Karin starts losing a goal, and Suigetsu just ends up being the one to notice it) and THEN they team up to find Sasuke
Anything that portrays Sasuke as vital to their group. A sick team like this reminds me of the Drakengard game x_x... main heroes consist of a blind pedophile, cannibalistic elf, eternal 6 year old boy, etc.

Taijutsu could be so interesting to watch though! Weapons and martial arts are so much more diverse and interesting, in a Lee manga the power levels never have to get to Madara/Hashi level and especially with the 8 Gates seeming to give the user extraodinary powers (Hirudora, Asakujakuu) imagine how much potential Lee could've had in a manga dedicated to him (I assume Guy would've been killed off awesomely or been surpassed) I don't see the Lee manga not working to be honest, I think it could be every bit the manga Naruto was.

And yeah the Taka idea would probably end with Sasuke being overcome by his hatred and give into it when he hears Itachi Uchiha has gone rogue from the Akatsuki, which is basically his calling to it. Whilst doing it though and reverting to his 12 year old self...he starts to realise he's just making all the same wrong decisions and is not only becoming a monster himself but that Itachi really is going to win because he keeps ruining his life.

Of course the Itachi plot twist would most likely be the final sentiment of the show. Oh man the Taka idea interests me so much and you could've kept the Sound 4 alive and had them come into the story every now and then, and you could've had the Hidden Sound pursuing them and them jointly defeating orochimaru...could've been beautiful :'(

4 cous its include Kakashi....

Um.....I guess so? Along with all the other hundreds of Naruto characters....

Well it definitely could work but it probably wouldn't be taken to current village busting levels. Ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu should be more equalized (closer to Part 1 standards). There are series dedicated to martial arts (The Breaker is one of my favs) so it really isn't a stretch to make a story catering it.

And if Taka is going to be the main characters then surely Kimimaro would be more important thanks to Jugo... which in term gives reason to make the sound 4 relevant ^.- oh and what about those prisoners that were supposed to preach of Sasuke's greatness? I honestly thought the minor villages being left out of the Ninja Alliance would be the final straw and allow Sasuke to fight with them by his side but I guess not xD well you can say a good story can be built by having a lot of possibilities and being able to make them interesting...

Also I wish Root would have played a bigger part. One of my dream arcs is Danzo escaping the Kage Summit after his failure and going into hiding, then being able to command Konoha from his connections to his secret party. Sai would have to make a choice and act as a liaison but wouldn't be able to because of his curse mark. The Rookies would likely have to fight Root members... and in the finale we just get MS Sasuke vs. Danzo again (wouldn't want to miss the fight of course). This is probably what prompted me into liking Itachi v Danzo x_x

Interesting idea for a thread. I must say that I'd enjoy the Naruto series a lot more if it was focused on the Akatsuki or at least let them live a while longer in canon. Personally, I'd say that Naruto was a lot more interesting back when the Akatsuki was alive. The manga itself had a vibe of a shinobi manga rather than a magician manga it has became now. I mean, since when do shinobi, or should I say 'ninja', blow up mountains? It was always interesting to see the Akatsuki interact with the rest of the world and their personalities and abilities were quite interesting.

I do wish we learned more about their backgrounds as well, seeing as how I'm rather interested in seeing both Deidara's and Hidan's backgrounds. Anyways, my answer to this topic is; the Akatsuki as the main characters would have been a lot more interesting.​

Rock Lee -- immerse yourself in this epic tale of how a boy who couldn't use ninjutsu became the greatest ninja.

 

[paratise]

Rock Lee and Akatsuki for me.

Well Lee is not a character who fits in a shounen much for several reasons, he is not a God to be worshipped or a praised preacher followed by everyone. He fails. Hard. Could not beat Neji, another kid did the shortcut. Could not beat Gaara, Sasuke copied the movements of the "hardworker" and got the glory on field. No one gives a shit about him. Lost Neji, he had like 2 things he wanted from the life, one of them was fighting Neji yet he can't do that.

And i like this "unfairness" in his life because that's what happens. People won't worship you, not everything you done Will be praised, there will be people ahead of you and you can't always recieve what you want. He is not saying "work hard for what you want and you get all" he is saying "work hardf for what you want because you want it". People get obsessed with goals too much that they forget what they do as journey.

He would be "insprational" as someone who encourages someone to choose and do what they want because that's the highest someone can recieve from life.

Man i went overboard XD
I just think he is a well written character with his failures, flaws and being ordinary who desires extraordinary.

 

[PrimeOfTheSixPaths]

1. Hashirama - Would love to see it from the Warring States Period, to how he mastered his jutsus, how he obtained Sage mode, and tons more. Also, Madara is such a great villain, it would be great to show their friendship evolve into their rivalry it is in more depth.

2. JMan - Great Story, from him young, as a sannin in the Second Shinobi War, training minato and having some adventures then, and shedding more light on Orochimaru and his departure into darkness.

3. Minato - Didn't Kishi say he would love to do a Minato spin off more than anyone else? I think shedding some more story on the Yellow Flash would be great. He's such a lovable character too.

4. Rock Lee - This would be just awesome. And instead of having such flashy jutsu's and whatnot, I would love to see just a shit ton of taijutsu fights in this.

5. Asuma - I want to see more of this Sarutobi. It would be cool to see him as part of the 12 Guardian Ninja and could have them as main characters as well.

You didn't go overboard at all, this was a pleasure to read

 

[Ovan]

J-Man...That is all.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

J-Man...That is all.

His story is pretty much identical to Narutos...it just happens in a different order and has a different end result.

aw ily too buddy

 

[FlemSmack]

Gaara would better than all of those you listed.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Gaara would better than all of those you listed.

his story is entirely dependent on just one person though. Plus there aren't many interesting characters in the Sand other than Gaara

These are actually some pretty dope suggestions.
