Would you like a reboot of the series by Seishi Kishimoto?

In case you didn't know, Seishi Kishimoto is Masashi's twin brother. Whom many claim is a better writer. I would completely be down for it.

Why would we need a Naruto reboot? o_O Well maybe for the war arc but other than that meh.

I wouldn't mind it in case if he changed something in the plot dramatically, diverting it in a completely different direction.

Reboot, no. A tidier retelling done by a better animation company? Sure thing.

The few problems with Naruto from a writing POV are seriously ingrained and way too deep for another writer to come along & fix without changing core parts of the series (Team 7, Uchiha moveset, Seemingly random fanservice wanking of characters)

Only if he gave the Akatsuki members better treatment and wouldn't change the battle of Konoha vs. Pain.
The kage-summit and war-arc couldn't be worse, so yes xD

The series ended less than 2 years ago. People need to give it some time. Jeez.

What would be the reason? If its to doe the series over with wish fulfilling fantasy's, like having hinata in team seven instead of Sakura then id say no. That's what fanfics are for.

If its to fix the writing problems, then id be down but that would mean many changes will be made. Like ereasing characters from the series. Changes will be so drastic it might not even feel like Naruto anymore.

I get the war arc part but what's wrong with Five Kage Summit? I loved that arc.

Not the entire series. I wouldn't stand through all of that again, even if it's better written.

Why would you have his brother do it? Because their art is the same? It's Kishi's story, poorly written or not, the fact that you want a reboot means Kishi did something right.

I understand not being satisfied with the story, but wanting it redone rather than finding a new story is a strange fixation.

Marvel got to work on the latest Spider-Man reboot after the mess that was Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Actually the reason the story was even about ninjas is because of his first editor.

It's really no different from when people wanted WB to reboot Batman in the mid-2000s after Batman & Robin.

What would be the reason? If its to doe the series over with wish fulfilling fantasy's, like having hinata in team seven instead of Sakura then id say no. That's what fanfics are for.

The latter. I wouldn't mind massive changes like removing the Team 7 mess.

Hell yeah, make Hinata the heroine.

I don't mind keeping Sakura as a main character as long she was treated like a main character...unlike in the original series. Would love her to be more linked to Rock Lee rather and have her use all the Gates without dying due to her regenerative abilities. Let's also just remove SasuSaku completely.

Well, obviously it could work with either one, but naturally I'd prefer for it to be Hinata

That's when it all started to become utter nonsense. The powerlevels exploded from this point on, when Pain/Nagato should've been at the top with the Rinnegan and the power to destroy an entire village in a few seconds.

But the series has not ended yet. Kishimoto confirmed Boruto manga will be canon.

No. Rebooting the series is just taking a poop on Kishi's 15 years of writing it. The series is way too long to reboot also.

I rather him do the new Boruto manga instead.

I know and you can have two continuities at the same time. Example: the Ultimate Spider-Man comic started while the original Spider-Man comic line was still running. Manga are just Japanese comics after all.

Did Ultimate Spider-Man crap on the original Spider-Man which lasted decades?

Yes, but the Ultimate comics are an alternate universe of the 616 continuity which in fact is the primary one so that comparison doesn't really make sense.
