Okay, so this is gonna be a pretty brief thing. So the thing is, I recently discovered I'm utter crap at writing Naruto stuff. No, seriously, the first chapter I wrote out for this story freakin sucked, yet people still favorited and followed (Which I'm shocked about, honestly.) The story was only in its first chapter, too, but I just can't find the inspiration to write about it.

It is with a slight disappointment that I have to announce this story abandoned. Here was the general plot bouncing around in my head:

Naruto and Miki confront the issue of Kyuubi and reaffirm their Bro-Status.

Miki gets trained under Anko because he can be slightly sadistic and enjoys sarcasm a ton.

They change their god damn clothes, but Naruto doesnt get something weird like a gi, he gets some darker, normal clothes with a bit of Dark orange, he gets something OTHER THAN the Toad contract, he enlists the help of a few people and uses the shadow clones to further his training, and do not use them for bodybuilding since it's impossible, but the mental faculties like muscle memory, knowledge, and whatever else. He befirend Rock Lee and TenTen, Neji still has a stick up his ass.

He becomes significantly stronger and vastly more dedicated. Miki also Tells him Sakura wouldn't beat him up if she even cared about him and to get over her. Naruto puts up a very weak counter argument, but in the end decides it's for the best. Miki reassures him he'll find someone awesome like Naruto is. Naruto also instead avoids her assaults, but is still cordial and polite to her, maybe not as friendly until later when they actually FORM a friendship

Miki is taken under Anko's tutelage a half a month before the actual assigning of sensei's since Miki makes one too many students for all three man squads, the two don't end up seeing each other until the Chuunin Exams due to Anko's training regimen, which does not include staying at home. He mostly is either on mission or being forced to live in the Forbidden Forest because Anko is sadistic like that, and oddly enough, Miki is cool with that because he's a bit insane too.

Naruto will, sometime during training, access his mindscape, and through coming back again and again during the MONTH LONG PERIOD BETWEEN THE TEST AND TEAM ASSIGNMENT, reconcile with Kurama to at least an uneasy truce or an understanding, but by the time of The Chunin Exams, they will be close, Kurama will refer to him as a kit FONDLY. He can visit Kurama however many times from now on.

Naruto and Sasuke become friends, they spar and eventually Naruto helps him see revenge isn't what will satisfy him. Since he got smarter, Naruto says even Itachi couldn't kill all the Uchiha on his own. Sasuke fights this information vehemently, but eventually realizes it's incredibly improbable he could have, and his new purpose becomes simply to ask for the truth, the real one since he now is certain Itachi had a better reason than testing himself. (This comes into play later) Sakura is largely the same

Naruto doesn't complain about D-Ranks, but recognizes they don't really emphasize what he needs to be a ninja.

The Wave Arc happens with Naruto being more intelligent, and now aware of the Kyuubi, he does not freak out over the blood loss and poison. Naruto won't be an idiot and not put two and two together with the puddle, but only in passing and does not think much of it when Kakashi does nothing, but is more alert. He helps to further point out how Tazuna put them in a dangerous situation but is more than happy to help Wave get out from under Gato's reign of terror. Cue Zabuza with Naruto able to hold a bit of his own against Zabuza, Chunin level, but ultimaely realizes he's outclassed and falls back to Sasuke. The two devise a plan with Jutsu instead of Shuriken and break Kakashi out of the water prison. Zabuza still gets the shit kicked out of hm and Haku saves him the same way, but Naruto catches onto the fact that Kiri-Nin burn bodies on the spot nearly immediately and tells Kakashi aout the discrepancy, unsure of whether it is actually a legitimate concern or not. Naruto already mastered Tree and Water walking so he shows the other two how to do it while he pracices other moves.

HAKU IS ACTUALLY A GOD DAMN GIRL BECAUSE I LITERALLY REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE'S A GUY, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE SHIPPUDEN FLASHBACK WHERE THE WRITERS LITERALLY PUT LIP STICK ON HIM. Naruto is again late to the fight at the bridge, but when he sees this, he doesn't turn around on the way, and instead sends shadow clones back to help Inari and his mom. He is then significantly more helpful than being a shadow clone punching bag to Haku, but still gets stuck inside. Sasuke still nearly dies, but add a bit of different events. NAruto goes beserk but can't kill Haku like before. Naruto uses his newfound speed to stop Kakashi from killing Zabuza, tackling him to the ground. Both live, and Naruto is still a bit aggressive because of Kurama's Chakra still in him. ZABUZA IS FIGHTING FOR CASH TO RETAKE MIST FROM THE EVIL KAGE, AND DOES NOT ENJOY KILLING THE WORKERS (He can knock them out of you want)

Gato shows up and brought the wife of one of the workers with him and kills her off right then and there, while the son ostands ff to the sie restrained by thugs. This pisses off Naruto even further as he descends into Two-Tailed state, losing any focus and barrreling into enemies, killing left nd right while spawning some shadow clones to help enjoy the slaughter. He gets to Gato, Gato still pisses his pants, and he impales Gato with his hands. Everyone is in awe, Wave arc ends with Zabuza and Haku taking up residence in Wave to protect it.

THey get back tot he village and head off to the exams! (I didn't really have a plan for this one yet, so bear with me cuz I only got so far in my head) They meet up with their classmates, they don't reveal the genjutsu, Sasuke fighting Lee is optional, but Naruto will be confident in Lee's own abilities far more than Sasuke's. Iwa is there because really that feud has gone on long enough, and they sent Kurotsuchi and her team. Kurama warns Naruto about Kabuto, and Sasuke is interested in Naruto's Chakra card. NAruto is suspicious of Kabuto and calls him out on it, but the Sound Genin interrupt them. Naruto actually cheats to win the exam somehow, or he just recognizes the test is bullshit because he's smart, and while they were back from Wave he's still been reading up on any and everything to get smarter. He still can't answer the questions though. Miki will use some trick/ Jutsu to cheat, but doesn't really help Naruto because he can't. Same speech happens from Naruto about being ready and willing to risk everything as a ninja. Anko still shoots into the classroom with Miki bouncing up to her side.

In the Forest of Death, Miki is a lone wolf, a unique position to be in. He quickly meets up with Naruto and his team and despite naruto's teammates being skeptical and helps them pass. (I never decided what would happen while within the forest of death.)

Cue different Prelim fights, but same opponents. Kabuto's team is definitely optional to include. Iwa Nins are mandatory sincce any of them who are Chunin in Shippuden MUST pass.

Training period has Naruto under Jiraiya, but he learns Rasengan fairly quickly, he refuses the Toad contract, and he learns some better crap.

Cue different finals but with an actually on time Sasuke! Oh, and Gaara and Sasuke don't really fight, Naruto gets paired with Gaara in the 2nd round.

Invasion happens, Naruto is trying to help everyone. Sandaime still dies, but Naruto shifts his attention to Gaara and Sasuke on the outskirts. They still become friends at the end. Afterwards everyone finds out about the Sandaime, Naruto and Miki accompany Jiraiya to find her. (Make up what happens here) Tsunade comes back treating Naruto like a God son. If you want Jiraiya and Tsunade can become a thing.

Sasuke is confronted by Sound Four, and realizes how much a threat Orochimaru is, and instead of seeking power, decides to go to try and hinder him instead. HE DOES NOT GET CORRUPTED BY OROCHI EVEN THOUGH HE STILL HAS THE CURSE MARK. Retrieval mission happens, Naruto takes more notice of Tayuya and her him, but Naruto still avoids her. Miki is not on recovery team due to injury, but heads out with Lee to help fight Kimimaru, Gaara helps Kiba with the twins. Naruto and Sasuke still fight with Sasuke acting out the part of the badguy to convice Naruto, that way Orochimaru will never believe he's faking his loyalty. He escapes, puts a hole through Naruto'ss chest and is extremely guilty about it.

They return to Konoha, Naruto really bummed out, but mostly healed. Sakura is understanding. Naruto gets off and heads back into the woods when no one is paying attention, Miki heads to their home. He finds Tayuya, and though he has reservvations, takes the UNCONSCIOUS GIRL back to his home by sneaking her in and has Miki, who just has a "Fucking Seriously?" Tone and demeanor about the whole thing but heals her (Miki had become very interested in Medic Jutsu and honed it and his fighting, Being fuly able to combat enemies and perform deadly ANBU worthy moves but still can heal people effectively and properly.) Tayuya wakes up once the healing is finished and acts like a cornered animal almost, but Miki reassures her in several ways he is not a threat nor is he exposing her to Konoha. Naruto gets called by Civilian council, they exile him. Danzo, Tsunade and those two other weird elders aren't present however, and don't approve of the exile. Naruto escapes the council and heads home to gather up Tayuya and any necessary supplies, Miki forcefully says that he is going with Naruto no matter what. Tayuya agrees to accompany them, feeling a bit indebted to them, but is still a tomboy and insuting and just Tayuya. Tayuya can still be a shinobi too. Danzo sends ROOT after Naruto and his friends.

Naruto and gang decide to hide out in Wave with Zabuza and Haku until everything blows over, he gets trained by Zabuza a bit, but eventually ROOT attacks and kills Zabuza, out Naruto goes into a rage and slaughters them, while Miki and Tayuya are also killing them off rather easily. Zabuza with his dying breath passes on KubiKiri to Naruto, who spends the rest of the time skip training to wield it. Haku heads to Konoha for a new life, possibly as a shinobi, an assisstant at the hospital, or even some mundane civilian job, but she (SHE) still stays friends and is still relative in some way as a romantic interest to a Leaf Ninja side character (One of the Rookies)

Eventually, they find Jiraiya who informs them Tsunade revoked the exile and disabanded the Civilian Council because they are dumb asses. Danzo still hold some significant power in the form of Root and as a new Advisor to the Hokage With Koharu and the other person. Meanwhile, Jiraiya trains all of the three, though (At most, possibly earlier) A year after their training began, he sets an objective for them to complete before meeting them in the Samurai country. They stop in Iwagakure andactively hide Naruto under the cloaks they got for travelling during their exile. Naruto and Tayuya are warming up to each other significantly and are genunely friends, but Tayuya still calls him shithead and acts the same towards him, but acknowledges he is a friend.

Kurotsuchi recognizes Miki from the Exams since she thought there was something different about him and she actively tries to confront him and spies on him, then she finds out about Miki's training trip and the two become acquainted with each other, oddly enough. Kurotsuchi implores Oniki to let her go on the trip with them, and he sees this as a way to mend old wounds with Konoha and allows it.

Thats as far as I got with the outline before I got uninterested. Eventually, Miki and Kurotsuchi would be an item, and so would Naruto and Tayuya.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE THIS STORY AND OUTLINE, OR JUST BUILD ON THE STORY, GO AHEAD!

On the bright side, I'm working on a RWBY and Kingdom Hearts story, however those will be a while since I'll write the story out completel BEFORE submitting it.'

Sorry again, guys, but I just couldnt find the inspiration. Good luck out there! Till next time!
