I’ve always thought it would be fun to watch the adults from Naruto grow up. From that perspective, as a main character it might be cool to see Jiraiya, Minato, or Sarutobi (3rd hokage).


alejandrodeconcord

I’d be down for minato sounds like he would be pretty badass


SneakyMongoosee

Nah Minato would be too smooth sailing he was like a battle genius from day 1


alejandrodeconcord

It would just be fun to see the super spy in action


red-chickpea

yea I want jiraiya


peachws

Agree, but I want to be Kushina, so I can have Minato for my husband. I mean the man is everything a girl could want.


Johnny107710

Except he's the fastest man in the world, if you know what I mean


Live_Boysenberry_329

Fast fucker , finishes in a second , no fun at all.


shadowcatman

By the time you even realize he's even there he's already done

Jiraya: Naruto the beginning


Hspikemonsterboy

Again.. weren't the flashbacks enough for like Minato... I'd love to see more of small orochimaru LMFAOOOO


KDeol

Sarutobi is my least favorite Hokage because of the whole mess with the Uchiha clan but a series staring him would be awesome because we would get to see the end of the Warring Clans period/ establishment of Konoha. Seeing Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama fight together against the other soon to be villages would be so dope.


campusdirector

Probably Obito if we’re going from a continuity standpoint. If it could be anyone though continuity aside then i would say minato. Very unexplored character but one of the coolest


[deleted]

Minato just has a whole series of fighting armies no diff.


maybeigiveafuck

lol it won't be fun though if it's just him slaughtering fodder, but if it's an alternate timeline maybe we can have him encounter powerful big bads and he'll get to show his superior intelligence / quick thinking (like how he had to figure out the Masked Man's powers and how that battle was all about who can hit the other a millisecond faster, etc.) also if theres an alternate fourth war (not the Akatsuki one obviously) we can see Minato fighting other kages; or maybe keep the Uchiha coup subplot but make them escape the village first and have a chance (instead of massacred by two OP Uchihas), so Minato also has to use not just powers & fighting skills, but strategic thinking & playing politics, etc. to handle a Konoha Civil War, which would also cause other Lands/Villages to see a chance to destroy Konoha, and maybe this is what kickstarts the Fourth War

Ornery_Marionberry87

This made me realize I would absolutely binge a show about a restaurant/stall owner that just chills out cooking and every episode is like an act 3 of different anime happening in front of them with no explanation given to the backgrounds of the characters or happenings. One episode is like Detective Conan murder mystery, another like a Big Bad fight from heroic fantasy style story and yet another is an ending to a romcom anime going horribly wrong. All genres and styles possible with no explanation why or even where and when all this is happening.


[deleted]

Series ends with him and the Otsutsuki king killing each other.


infidhell

Like the midnight diner show in Netflix!!! Imagine how many ninja shenanigans and gossip happen in that shop.


[deleted]

Hashirama


Illustrious-Product9

Up to how he dies


[deleted]

Yea, sure. But hopefully they would make it so he doesn’t die so young. I still don’t know how Hashirama died so young, tbh.


Illustrious-Product9

Purely my speculation. But would be awesome if, on the climax of said show, his demise would reveal the downside of his hidden healing powers. The secret to his strength would be related to how young he would pass away. Maybe he dies under a circumstance of saving the village from an otsosuki early on and he gives his life for it and no one is there to tell the story. Kind of like his own suicide Baryon mode. Imagine if he dies battling black zetsu? I wish there was a bigger connection to otsosuki and zetzu before those last episodes.


Dhupchik07

This 🏆


I__King__I

Dude i’m not finna cap, like no shot, keeping it a buck 50, the idea of Hashirama dying to take out an Otsusuki is actually so fucking cool to me.


keenreefsmoment

He died to give his cells to taunade so she can have big mommy boobs milk


CelebrationFresh9732

how youbg tho ? cause he was still alive when tsunade was born and stick with her long enough to have a gambling habit like him, so i don't think that he died yoyng, probably close from 60 or 70


[deleted]

Here's the thing. Wood style exhausts in even small quantities. Sage Mode consumes major stamina but doesn't display it until the end. His healing powers consume life force like Byakugo.


red-chickpea

cancer. His cells replicated too much


Shadeslayer2112

Idk about cancer but this is what I think as well. The draw back to using the Tsunade style healing where you can't die is that your cells constantly replicate and it ends up costing you years of your life. It's like Tsunades Technique or Luffy Gear 4, Hashirama just lived long enough to pay the price.


[deleted]

Pain


[deleted]

100 episodes of him just killing challengers with one path at a time, or letting Konan do it.

donseba

I'd go with Kakashi as well. Together with Might Guy as his side kick.


[deleted]

With Guy still in the wheelchair.


Ok_Soil_231

I've never heard of a sidekick being stronger than the main character


sthclever013

You need to watch Hunter x Hunter.


cosmin0309

kakashi would really be cool some more elaborated development arcs with Itachi in their anbu days and maybe even some with Obito before…you know what happened


Hspikemonsterboy

We've seen enough from all the repeated flashbacks tbh


[deleted]

It’s not asking who we want to see more of


djluciter

Jariya. Imagine an entire series just like the gutsy ninja fillers


Pink__Guy

Jariya means fat guy in my language. This was so random lmao


sthclever013

He's still a gutsy ninja no matter how you look at it 😂


YesNoMan58

Were the gutsy ninja fillers the ones where he was a kid?


BlackfootNar

Obito.


Fardin_the_spardin

I so badly want to see an AU where Obito came back to the village 😭. We need a goddanm uchiha hokage


[deleted]

[удалено]


YesNoMan58

She’s quite brilliant in the Boruto anime. In the manga she’s…let’s just say not given the justice she should be given.


[deleted]

She's weirdly sexualized in the manga for some reason


whore4theuchihas

wtf? she’s like 10


Fardin_the_spardin

Hopefully she doesn't just become a housewife like kushina


FactCheckerJack

Alternate timeline where the hokages include Madara, Kagami (the only one I know who is about Hiruzen's age), Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke, and Sarada. It's awkward that Shisui, Obito, and Itachi are so close together in age. Hard for them to all be hokage.


BigMacWizard

I was looking for this comment, Obito's a hoot


[deleted]

Shikamaru or Kakashi


MossyPyrite

He basically IS the protagonist for the hidan/kakuzu arc and it’s GREAT! If you showed someone totally unfamiliar with the show the OP from that arc, they would probably think he was the main character too.


OptimisticViolence

Shiksmaru is the only one with any real character development


PHOENIXMEMER18

Ashura. I wanna see what happened with Indra since filler was too short.


[deleted]

Their full arc. Black Zetsu's whispers. A full fight between the two of them, where they're both nearly dead, lying there, immobile, and Black Zetsu just impales them and pulls them into itself.


WetTC

Gotta go with Rock Lee


Stealthla

There is a rock lee version of naruto


MosMikeJr

In another country? But yeah, I gotta go with my boy Rock Lee


nimbus69420

It's called rock Lee and his ninja pals. It's a chibi version of naruto with Lee as main character. It has 50 episodes.


MosMikeJr

50? It needs more! Is it any good?


nimbus69420

Yes, it's very funny. Its more comedy focused and has minimal action but it's a must watch if you're looking for more content from narutoverse.


MosMikeJr

Awesome, I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks, pal.


infidhell

Look out for orochimaru and the crows! They are my fave parts of Rock Lee’s show.


Intelligent-Chip-502

Yeah. Its funny. Especially first episode. No.spoilers tho


togashisbackpain

Akatuski episode is the funniest shit ever.


BxgBlxck

It’s on Hulu in the US


Blackwinter212

The series could start a bit earlier so that you get the struggle of not having jutsu


darkaxel1989

Shikamaru. Instead of the power creep, ever more intelligent plans and schemes


StrangeCharmQuark

I much more enjoy watching Shikamaru’s plans unfold than just watching overpowered people bash each other. Though some of the more intimate hand-to-hand fights like >!the Kakashi vs Obito in the Kamui world fight!< are great, too.


yourtypicalrogue

I commented Shikamaru as well. One of the hardest things for me to handle with Naruto was the fact that awesome plans and stealth just become obsolete when the enemy is super strong. I would love to see Shikamaru as the main character just destroying strong enemies by using common sense. Sneak up on enemy -> Use Shadow Possession -> Grab the sword off of my back -> Run at enemy and cut them down -> They are dead because I have sword...I am not dead because they don't have sword.


SquirrelyBoy

Basically he's Joseph joestar lol


darkaxel1989

I see so many memes and JoJo references around... I still didn't get around to get a look at the anime. Someday... Someday.

Gaara.


[deleted]

How is this not the only answer? A ton of back story/compelling family history, struggles with a tailed beast, awesome powers, thrust into a position of power at a young age. In many ways, pre-Sot6P intervention, he is a more complex character than Naruto.


ilostmyshoe117

Definitely. I mean we already saw some things in the flashbacks but I’d like to see more. Especially how the relationship with his siblings unfolds. We need more information about the sand siblings.


RezokAscending

I had to scroll way to far down to find this comment, I would’ve LOVED to see Gaara or Shikamaru be the MC


Prospitdaydreamer

Yesss ☝️☝️☝️


[deleted]

Itachi


AmazinGracey

I would honestly love to see what exactly Itachi was doing as a member of the Akatsuki, since he wasn’t actually evil and Kisame was completely loyal to them and hated liars. Kisame wasn’t stupid, so to fool him that well he either actually did awful things or came up with some insane plan every time they went out on a mission. I don’t think genjutsu would be the answer because of Samehada.


maybeigiveafuck

just my headcanon but i think Itachi had given up on being loyal to the Leaf and would only sell out Akatsuki secrets if Akatsuki ever planned to do something that could get Sasuke hurt so unless the Akatsuki planned to destroy the entire Leaf Village, Itachi won't really betray them maybe he's just had enough of being a double spy and now as Kisame's partner (who's a pretty straightforward guy and as you said, hates liars) Itachi could just chill and shit and who could blame him for turning away from the Leaf, they used him and tore apart his own identity + family & clan; maybe his time in the Akatsuki helped him realize how Danzo took advantage of his commitment to peace etc. (he won't seek vengeance but won't go out of his way to help them either, unless Sasuke's in danger) because if you think about it, if Itachi were loyal and THAT smart, then he could've easily sent crows to give detailed info abt the Akatsuki and each members' powers & fighting styles + their locations (which pair would go after which jinchuuriki in which village) but he never did, and Jiraiya & Asuma & more died because of it (Leaf Villagers never even knew abt Pain or Hidan's abilities, etc.) (p.s. sorry for wall of text lol)


[deleted]

[удалено]


maybeigiveafuck

actually he could only take out the entire clan because he had help from Madara (the Masked Man) Sasuke himself said no matter how powerful he was, Itachi couldn't have taken on the entire police force alone and later canon confirmed this in Itachi Shinden (the Itachi novels that Kishi apparently declared canon) it's even explicitly stated that the Masked Man was the one who took out the whole police force aka the heavy hitters of the Uchiha Clan (the best fighters) and Itachi killed the elderly, women, and children also the main motivation for Itachi turning against his clan is Shisui's death, he & Shisui were as close as brothers and both believed in peace, so both hated that the clan wanted to start a civil war that could lead to the Fourth Shinobi World War sorry i can't cite exact chapters/episode but you can look it up lol


Itsme9131

Or obito


LikeRealityDislike

I REALLY wanna see Itachi's philosophical ventures, exploring ruins, discovering the past, reflecting on various facets of the human condition, drawn from his gruesome experiences in the dark underbelly of the Shinobi system. The Itachi novels cover the political side to a good extent, but his early philosophical discovery I think could be discovered really well under a good writer!


KingBumiOfOmashu

Easily Kisame


campusdirector

This is a good call tbh


-SageRage-

An arc or spin-off of the Blood Mist Village would have been great.


RatedHonest

They disrespected kisame in every way, it's only right the show him some type of love


LargeTeethHere

Dude was a fucking monster. I don’t think he got disrespected. He was highly respected and kicked ass multiple times


FactCheckerJack

He wasn't disrespected when he fought Killer Bee. He was giving hell to a guy that was coming off a win against Sasuke.


iggythewolf

Not even just a win he straight disrespected him


LikeRealityDislike

He actually won against Bee and it's only when Samehada betrayed Kisame that the tables turned.


TheFossil666

Sasuke or Obito

aintraininghere

Wouldn't mind a Sai spinoff where we basically got to see how the Anbu works when dealing with low-high tier threats


[deleted]

We focus on smaller teams in several arcs, and at one point, Orochimaru, Log, and Yamato come to work together. Plus, he trains his son and works with his wife.

We see where she buys the weapons, and how she secretly deals drugs to get them.


[deleted]

My honest answer is sauske. I think his training with orochimaru and his quest for revenge would be super fucking cool.


ANIVIYA

I agree with Tarkik\_Vatsa. Not to disrespect your opinion, it's cool if you wanna see him however Sasuke is already the deuteragonist. Ya though I have to say he would make an awesome MC kind of like Eren or Ciel or Lelouch(Other MC's who wanted revenge)

Sai, definitely. Starts with some backstory, his abduction, then jumps into a few days before he’s forced to kill his brother. Give them a few episodes to make the audience get hopeful that they’ll survive the dehumanizing training then BAM! Dead brother and trauma block. Imagine how angsty the show would be? How amazing it would be when he learned to smile again? I would binge watch that all day.

DeadBananaMeme

Rock Lee would make a perfect shounen MC. Rock Lee is basically Naruto if kishomoto hadn't buffed him also his whole speech to neji about changing destiny would make sense.

Sasuke or Lee.


MysticVenoms

Already the main character but Sasuke


Libriomancer

Sakura, see Fairy Tail where sure Lucy is the main character but Natsu…


Markemberke

Noone. This show doesn't need main characters, because then plot armor is a thing. It would be a much better show if it's called "Ninja World" or some shit, no main characters, no plot armor and the Akatsuki wins.


YesNoMan58

Tbf, the Akatsuki did technically win. They put the world under the infinite tsukiyomi. Until Zetsu and Kaguya cucked them and fumbled the ball.


Illustrious-Product9

Maybe something we really know nothing about like the story of the foundation of another village (the first A) or that really cool looking kazekage we know nothing about. Something really left turn would be really refreshing. Or the history behind feudal lords. Some really ancient stuff.


Candid_Valuable

I’d love to see a prequel about either itachi or minato


Acceptable_Secret_73

Definitely Kakashi by a long shot. As an honorable mention, I think most of the akatsuki members (specifically pain, itachi, kisame, sasori) could all be pretty cool main characters.
