@lua0: Thank you sm :D Uzumaki OCs are probably my favorite. I find it disappointing that their clan and village only get a passing mention in the series (despite the main character being from the clan) So the fans gotta make up for it.

@marven4lyf: Sadly my first comment couldn't save, darn. But I agree with you so much. The prevalence of the Uchiha was pretty obvious. I really do think that the writer focused way too much on giving the Sharingan so many insane powers, even compared to the tailed beasts. Re-writing reality, time sand space manipulations - those types of powers have a significantly higher power to them in my opinion. Not to mention genjutsu, sadly one of my favorite things in the show, is inanely under powered with so many ways for someone to get 'out of it' to being completely invalidated by Uchiha entirely. And then the ending was just...I'm not sure what was going on. I have also only glimpsed passively at Boruto and it feels like a completely different series. Naruto had some sort of identity crisis. Even so, I still really like Naruto and the setting. It's so much fun to come up with my own head canons and characters for it. Kishimoto really had something significant and fresh. It's just too bad it couldn't shine even brighter with all the plot holes and writing issues.

I second that about Sakura. I do really like her, it's just a shame she later plays back seat with the two main characters, even to the point Naruto just starts to heal people instantly with sage mode. I'm not sure why Kishimoto does this. Konan, Chiyo, and Termari are female characters that stand out to me as being the best well written and they don't even have half as much screen time.

And thank you for reading! I hope it was enjoyable, although I am not done with her bio quite yet. Her inspiration was essentially first me thinking about what a serial killer in the Naruto universe would be like who wanted a more low-profile to keep their killing spree up without resorting to joining the Akatsuki. I also thought about how it would be to replace the jinchuuriki archtype and make their demon the serial killer itself - their burden is a largely societal one. A story sorta untold.

Our poor ocs though! I intend to have Wani eventually have happiness! I just tend to take things really slow burn.

Sorry for the massive comment though, haha. I just don't usually get to 'nerd out' to these things.

@marven4lyf: Yeah I agree. I really loved the other characters and would have liked to see them do their own stuff too. I also wanted more world building since the world is actually really fascinating. The mix between older time periods and a sort of grounded futuristic bit of technology was pretty seamless. That, and expand on the afterlife, deities, religions, and creatures too. Normally I don't get too in-depth with world building in interest because usually it's not too much different from one another, but for some reason my brain thought the Naruto setting was just brilliant and new. There are only so many times I can see a medieval fantasy or even some sci-fis over and over.

I like this idea, it feels realistic to the universe. No one really talks about the lack of therapists or how violent behavior is rampant. It's different to see someone trying to retain a normal Shinobi life while secretly being a merciless killer. Who would have known that a warfaring society built on the backs of child soldiers would turn out to have major consequences!

It's sad Wani has to deal with knowing her father was that kind of person, and I would love to see her accept herself despite her family's past. And I like the long comments so don't worry about it xD

Exactly what I was thinking! I haven't decided which village Wani's father actually comes from though since he's a transient messenger-nin of sorts. I'm guessing maybe the Hidden Village in the Grass since they are all about that diplomatic approach (..and seem to be constantly involved with Orochimaru intentionally?). I also thought of the Cloud but well, they were pretty emboldened ninja so I don't think they would trust them to send messages back and forth. I'm actually thinking he could be from the Leaf! There are actually many ninja employed to do all sorts of different things besides just a squad to do ranked missions. In fact, he could have been a ninja adept at deciphering scrolls too. It would make sense since he was responsible for getting messages across. However, the Village in Hot Water has a very interesting pretense besides just being the village Hidan came from. A resort like town who routinely may ask other villages to assist on matters, prioritizes a smaller force of ninja to only keep the peace for their tourist endeavors. A great place to brush up on social skills, learn the travel traffic, and have an excuse to being a ninja who is employed as a special courier.

I hope to see it too! I don't know how her development will turn out though, I don't even know if I'll just have it implied to her profile or actually write a fanfiction, sense I'm unsure how her story would go in a roleplay.

This reminds me that I haven't yet decided if I want Shouya's status as a jinchuuriki to be known to the Suna public. I'm trying to ask myself "what would Rasa do?" If it were hidden, then as far as the public is concerned, if Gaara is dead, then Shukaku must be back in the tea kettle. This would allow Shouya to make friends and live a somewhat more normal life than Gaara, but I somehow believe it won't be that easy.

That's a good question. It would seem to me that most villagers won't really know the status of the vessels in which the tailed-beasts are kept under. The jinchuuriki themselves are rather mysterious individuals, with a trend of villages erring on the side of secrecy to the point of making it a punishable offense by even mere mentions of someone being one (Naruto/Kohona's approach). There is a pattern of them being ostracized out of fear of course too. I think it is honestly up to you, and to be frank, Rasa would have a lot of ways of going about to make sure things were kept under wraps. If I may, you could tweak the sealing jutsu if you wanted to into something interesting. Of course, this means you will have to divert from the canon story, but I think it makes for a fantastic approach since Shouya's development is intrinsic to Gara's. I actually thought about the Death Reaper Seal could partially seal someone as we've seen during the fight between Hiruzen and Orochimaru. Now, what if there was some sort of secret, powerful jutsu that could somehow split Shukaku's spirit into two parts? You could say this endeavor was extremely risky - for one, Gara could retaliate, the massive amount of manpower to preform such a feat, and the jutsu somehow going wrong. The upsides are though the village has the manpower, chakra, and arguably the minds to make such a thing possible (As we have seen with Chiyo developing the life-saving jutsu she did.) One half could reside within Shouya, and the other half still within Gara. The two would likely be linked, and maybe could spark a different road to character development than what was only seen in the canon version. You could probably even keep most of the canonized events, even going so far as to say that, despite the Akatsuki extracting Gara, a good portion of Shukaku resided within him still, and grew independently of it. There is so much you could do with it though! Gara having to be sacrificed in order for Shouya to be a new host is already a fun premise.
