Naruto: Forest of Hells

This story changes the original plot quite a bit. (Dark tone) (Scheming and intrigue) (No heroine) (Slow burn, not an all-out power fantasy) (The protagonist always picks opponents he can beat and doesn’t court death) (Struggle for supremacy) The protagonist doesn’t fight very often, and he isn’t invincible.

If you’re impatient, feel free to skip around. The early chapters mainly explain his abilities.

Why can’t shinobi become rulers? Why can’t they establish their own kingdoms and dominate the world?

Why should only the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths be allowed to rule the shinobi world?

Do ordinary shinobi have no future? I want to change all that. Let shinobi build a nation and let samurai and shinobi compete for supremacy!

Senjutsu is a power native to this world. What would happen if the shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages were helped to gain the power of the Sage?

Shinobi who master senjutsu can beat down Tailed Beasts just as easily.

Control Madara Uchiha from behind the scenes, becoming the greatest mastermind and guiding the course of the world.

When the Otsutsuki descend, they won’t be facing Naruto and Sasuke.

They’ll be facing sages spread across the shinobi world. Wouldn’t that be interesting?
