Naruto Mixed Teams AU

So the teams in Naruto are broke as fuck and seem to have no reasoning outside of Asuma with InoShikaCho which they partially threw away in Boruto anyways so… I’m changing the teams and lots of other stuff but most notably is probably the teams.

In this AU Iruka as there home room or main instructor in the academy chooses team composition and their team leaders. Iruka is given a dossier of the available team leaders and chooses the teams each one will have.

First is Team 7: Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kakashi Hatake as sensei. I think Iruka’s reasoning here is grouping all the prodigies together to challenge each other and to try and survive Kakashi’s no pass rate (and his shitty teaching, sorry not sorry). Shino is counted as a prodigy because he’s never lost a fight and I refuse to believe that kinda skill wasn’t noticed.

Next is Team 8: Ino Yamanaka, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Kurenai Yuhi as sensei. These guys are not as well balanced but I couldn’t take Hinata from Kurenai. The reasoning here is that Ino and Hinata need the companionship and Kiba needs to learn some tact and a bit more empathy. Ino needs a non competitive gal pal again to chill out and learn teamwork. Hinata needs the confidence from both teamates and her sensei to rub off on her. Ino’s temper and Hinata’s soft spoken personality will force Kiba to learn some tact and respect in trial by fire basically.

*I know none of the kids can get much from a genjutsu specialist except Sasuke or Sakura but it was the same in the show. Also I wanted to keep all the sensei with their favorite students and I had plans for Sakura.

Next we have Team 10: Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Tenten, and Asuma Sarutobi as their sensei. I think Shikamaru and Naruto work well to counter each other well. Levelheadedness and well thought out plans are all well and good but sometimes energy and spontaneity is what a situation needs. Also Naruto and Tenten can account for the human element of planning since Shika is a logic boy. Plus (although we see very little of her) Tenten seems like a good middle ground, excitable but mission focused. Plus Shika and Tenten seemed not to have their minds made up and predujiced against Naruto like some of their classmates so it’d make sense for Iruka to take that into account when deciding team dynamics. Also Asuma uses chakra infused weapons which could aid Tenten and help teach Naruto better control.

Lastly we have Team Guy: Choji Akimichi, Rock Lee, Sakura Haruno, and Might Guy as sensei. I think Iruka would see the spirit displayed when not pandering to her crush on Sasuke and throw her to Guy right away. She has the same energy without the “youth” obsession. And throw Choji in with those 3 to try and motivate him a bit more too and also give him some hype men. Guy and Lee would never call him fatso and might even indulge in eating competition with him after training since they see the “spirit of youth” in everything. Also all the guys, after getting to know each other, would definitely call Sakura out on her less than stellar motivations to be a ninja and her attitude towards Naruto and to a lesser degree everyone not Sasuke.

In this AU the original Team Guy members are still all a year older than the others but were in the academy at the same time. Lee and Tenten took the extra year to train ‘cause of there limited skill set and Neji wasn’t allowed to attend ahead of Hinata.

Also in this Naruto still has the moniker of “Knucklehead Ninja” but he’s not an idiot. It never made sense that Naruto as much as he said he wanted respect and acknowledgment couldn’t do anything at the beginning from what we could see. So my thoughts are he already learn Shadow clone and some other probably a bit common big chakra ninjutsu but things that require finer control are hard cause of just how much chakra he has to deal with. I think in this AU the moniker was mostly unjustly assigned due to prejudice and quick judgements.

Also he and Sasuke have a silent respect for each other already. I think right after the massacre Sasuke would be tired of the pitying looks or even praise over his genius so he wanders looking for a place to be alone and finds Naruto. From then on they have companionable silence together every now and then. Naruto just glad someone’s willing to be around him and Sasuke likes that at least one person just doesn’t care to worship him or walk on egg shells. Also Naruto doesn’t like Sakura here. He’s just not in a good enough headspace yet for romance when platonic love isn’t even in view yet. Sakura still likes Sasuke but mostly cause that was most of her character before so I’m using that crush for character growth on her end.

Lastly, episodes 1 and 2 basically don’t happen. I always thought 1 was like an original pilot pitch that never got adjusted in terms of how it actually fit in the show and 2 just seemed fully unnecessary. Basically everything before the Chunin Exam is getting gone or condensed and lots of training and team bonding is getting added since the exam supposedly starts 6 months from the beginning of the show.

"Happy Birthday Kakashi Sensei!" (From,Sakura Haruno.)

Aa...Thank you, Sakura. There was no need to get me anything. You should spend your mission earnings on yourself. You worked hard for your Ryō and I wouldn't want to put one of my favourite students out of pocket.

He won't deny that he's curious however, seeing as the neatly wrapped gift is distinctly book-shaped.

Sakura and tsunade are my favorite underrated teacher student duo in all of naruto because come on

Tsunade, who didn’t want to be hokage in the first place. Tsunade who’s buried under mountains of paperwork. Tsunade who’s regaining trust in herself. Sakura who’s usually shy and obedient to authority and wouldn’t otherwise ask such a thing of a hokage. Sakura who’s pushed to doing that because of her role in getting naruto hurt seeking out sasuke. Yes he would’ve tried to get him back anyway yes he did it because she asked him to. Sakura who’s suddenly got a lot more grit. Sakura building up the courage to seek an audience with the hokage, one of the three sannin-she’s not naruto, she’s more shy about getting what she wants- and finally asking.

Tsunade who recognizes her untapped potential when nobody else does, not even sakura’s own team members, friends, or sensei at the time. Tsunade seeing the intelligence in this young, scared girl with no direction as a shinobi. The inner strength and chakra control not many genin her age have. Tsunade seeing her like no one else does, Sakura going through with training even though it is oh so difficult

A training arc that canonically involved training until Sakura broke her bones bc tsunade could fix them and keep going?? Sorry but even jiraiya wouldn’t do that. Sakura persevering and mastering the thousand healings and being tsunade’s pride. Sakura gaining insane strength. Tsunade and Sakura, I can’t stop thinking about them.

Gotta love that we have nearly all the named konoha kunoichi (minus Tsunade, Kurenai, and a few other even more minor kunoichi)

AND YET. the guys still outnumber them.

Still. 5/12 is still way more than we usually get (since it's normally teams of like 1/4 to 1/8 or so)

Wow the female characters ratio in naruto is absolutely atrocious.

"Nobody messes with the white mage!" 😤

[gae-ta]

i know it's an unpopular ship but i still think Sakura should've had an arc and ended up with Rock Lee instead

[domoz]

absolute brain worms for itama living today. so.

some headcanons:

The injuries he got when he almost died damaged his vision + hearing + range of motion, and that plus the time it took for him to recover basically removed him from the battlefield

But he’s still a shinobi, and ends up specializing in missions that don’t involve a lot of fighting (which is fine with him b/c despite what he does he’s really not a fan of violence in general) ie: he becomes a stealth + assassination specialist

Even though he goes out of his way to avoid the Uchiha, when he does fight his style focuses a lot on things that might counter the sharingan (like dust fields that make it difficult to keep your eyes open without damaging them etc etc) just because that makes him feel safer

He also has the mokuton, but it takes a lot more conscious thought for him to use it than it takes for Hashirama. He uses it mainly to grow plants that are very very poisonous. but also: delicious fruits and vegetables.

Because both of his brothers have such big personalities, he usually fades into the background of clan matters, but is actually quite effective at getting what he wants through (usually friendly!) manipulation

genderfluid. JUST btw

Talking about Sai.

[punk-pandame]

forever mad about the fact sakura never got a big hammer or axe or smthn to finish off her fiery pink girl with big weapon archetype. or a gun.

[konohagakurekakashi]

"So Hang Me,I Did Punch Someone! Yes It was on your behalf,And They Absolutely deserved it!" ( From Sakura Haruno.)

The Jōnin sighed from where he was slumped against the doorway, hands coming up in mock surrender once the Kunoichi turned to level him with her fiery glower.

"Maa...maa...I'm not disputing that Sakura, but this is not about deserving or undeserving. He was still your teammate and commanding officer for this mission and though it warms my heart that you would want to protect your old Sensei's honour, there's nothing the guy could have said that I haven't heard before and it wouldn't do for you to tarnish your good mission record, for old village gossip, hmm?"

Who’s your favorite main character?

[wingodex]

the fact that basically all the main girls in naruto are medic nin and literally none of the boys are sucks, but it's so frustrating with ino because it actually makes no sense for her to be the one on her team with medical ninjustsu. like, first off, the nara clan literally make medicine. why would shikamaru not be the obvious choice from that alone? but even outside of that, tactically it makes no sense. ino's abilities often leave her temporarily incapacitated when it's super important for medic nin to be mobile. both her and shikamaru are mid-range fighters so it has nothing to do keeping the medic away from harm. on top of that, she literally already has a job within the team as a sensor nin, so she's already spreading her abilities thin by have 2 specialties that don't synthesize well!!! and arguably her ability to use sensing in battle is more useful, but she can't sense and heal at the same time. and shikamaru can strategize and heal at the same time so... maybe one of her teammates should do some work for once, i'm just saying! she's literally a medic nin because she's a girl and for no other reason, which is why by the end of the series, she's almost never uses those abilities because it never made sense for her to have them in the first place! ugh!

[sakuratruther]

i think it’s so funny when sns shippers who hate sakura are like “but sakura is not important in canon! she is an annoying random ass girl” bc not only are they wrong but also a bit incoherent. so you say canon matters but when it comes to sasuke and naruto it doesn’t because they should’ve ended up together? i mean you seem to be absolutely capable of understanding the gay subtext but you can’t understand how sakura is important narratively? she is the healer (if i hear one more time “that’s the least she could do” i’ll riot fr) it’s a well known pattern: the moon, the sun, the healer.

stop undermining sakura’s role.
