Introduction: [A Naruto Self-Insert as Naruto Uzumaki]They say you should dig two graves if you want to go looking for revenge... so, it's a good thing I've already died once because the delusional one-eyed maniac that railroaded my life is going six feet under, one way or another.You see, this is what happens when an ordinary guy is reborn as a not-so-ordinary child and is forced to shoulder the world’s burden for his survival.Luckily for me, saving the world and revenge are just two sides of the same messed up coin.--------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT TO EXPECT:- Meaningful growth that feels realistic, fleshed out, and above all: contributes to the narrative. There'll be no gaining strength just for the cool factor even if the strength Naruto gains can be cool.- A slow-paced story—it's just a quirk of my writing. I enjoy fleshing out characters, exploring their minds, and attaching them to readers, so that when it comes to the conflict and consequences, I can deliver the maximum emotional effect.But I understand it can be frustrating sometimes. I've been told my story is one better binge-read in the earlier stages.- Slight tweaking of the power system & world. Full disclosure: some of my changes to the world are inspired by or are either directly taken from "Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve" by FictionOnlyReader. The reason is that it's something that's come up in our discussions regarding worldbuilding in the first place.Not ALL changes, but a fair few. I'll try and keep the spirit of canon in mind as well.We are friends, I'm not a thief... at least, not a mean-spirited one anyway.- I'm ignoring things from Boruto because I want to separate this story as much as possible from the world-eating, planet-hopping, numbskulls that are the Otsutsuki.--------------------------------------------------------------------------DISCLAIMER:Barring my OCs (Original Characters), I do not own any of the characters in this story nor do I own the rights to the ‘Naruto’ franchise. I am but a lowly fan, expressing his love for the stories that he grew up with....
