Since so many these days seem to love to rant and rave about certain events of the manga, I've decided to make this thread for them to elaborate on what they would have done differently. I too have had a few criticisms so I'll write mine down as well.

1) I would have given Naruto one more chakra element.

2) I would have given him a signature weapon like sasuke's

3) I would have developed the K11 more in part two. How I would have done this would have been by either adding 3 man disciples or teams to each of the Akatsuki members, created another enemy faction or possibly kept Orochimaru around longer and developed more disciples for he and danzou. This way, several K 11 characters who did not receive much airtime or development in the second part of the series could have and thus may have become more pivotal to the story. Kankuro, Temari, Gaara, Sakura, Lee, Ten Ten, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, etc. In addition to these characters, I also would have included Konohamaru, Iruka, Ebisu, Anko, Sai, Genma, Baki, Raido, etc.

4) I would have had Genma and Baki fight in Orochimaru's rebellion as I believe they are underrated characters and this could have opened room for them.

5) I would have possibly made Mei treacherous and in league with either Obito or Madara. I believe she could have made a great female antagonist and the mist is just about the only other developed village. Seeing her fight Tsunade, Sakura or Hinata could have been great.

6) I would have had Konan fight the chuunin Kunoichis all at once in the pein arc and possibly had her kill one or two as I believe she was underrated as well. This too could have developed the chuunins.

7) I would have made the edo seven swordsmen and Hanzo Akatsuki level and gave them their own arc. In this, I would have had Sasuke and Taka fight Mangetsu and Mangetsu combine all the swords to make Hagoromo's sword.

8) I would have expanded on Hidan. Showed his backstory and developed his fights and techniques more.

That's about all I have.

I would give Orochimaru more panel time.

I would add more explosions and give Naruto more hero entrance kicks.

Probably a lot of things,none comes to mind now but through this past years there was always a time I wanted something differently . I remember I wanted Sasuke to comeback to Konoha after he killed Itachi,but know I see that would be a mistake.

Never revealed tobi as obito. Guy is the biggest snore fest in the manga. Boring abilities and too much complaining.

I would have had the Kyuubi take over Naruto and just straight up kill Nagato after their meeting, No conversion, Fck that shit.

Tobi should have been his own character too and FV imo, Obito and Madara were like downgrades they are okay but The Masked Man persona was far superior.

Would've made Sakura more relevant from the start and actually hold her own against powerful enemies. Maybe her strength be at least Sage Naruto strength by now. I would've made her develop Genjutsu skills and I would also make Ino more powerful so she'd actually have a rival again.

I probably also would've made Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji major characters after Asuma's death. As in have more of a role in the story, like around where current Sakura is. I also would've made it that team 10 solo'd Hidan together, not just Shikamaru (even though it was such a great moment). Or at least made Ino and Choji actually help Kakashi against Kakuzu, like break a mask or something.

1/First of all not name the manga after a character .
2/Female Uchihas who can actually kick arse , maybe a villain or helping Sauske .
3/Not paralleling everything with anything , is too much .
4/Either Naruto or Sauske would be a female .
5/Have most of the characters equality in power .
6/Not talking yourself out of a battle .
7/Killing off important characters, not jut forgotten ones who bring nothing to the plot .
8/A heroine who would live up to the role , strong , dependable , with an actual backstory etc .

I would have made Naruto the Sage of the Six Paths Reincarnation rather than the reincarnation of Ashura (didn't even the Juubi recognize him as this at one point?).

However, I can understand why kishi has divided this between Sasuke and Naruto for plot purposes and the explanation as to why Naruto and Sasuke have always paralleled each other.

Also, given the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, I would have placed Hinata as the third member of Team 7 instead of Sakura.

It would have sealed the team considering Kaguya: the Mother of Rikudo Sennin also had the Byakugan.

Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto = Kaguya, Indra, Ashura

whereas

Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto = Tsunade, Indra, Ashura

Meh...
