Make the best of what you have, they said... But what I am supposed to do when the best I have are red-eyed freaks, a child who's supposed to be the jailor of the most dangerous being in the world, a snake bastard with serious boundary issues, and a whole world of super soldiers with licences to murder.
And you know the best part? None of them like me so much...
Oh shut it, old man! Take that Will of Fire and shove it up your—
Yeah, this second swing at life isn't panning out...

What to expect:
- Gradual strength progression. Meaningful growth. The MC is a normal guy dumped into the Narutoverse, starts out weak and has to work and struggle for everything he gains.
- "Slow" paced. My writing style is a zoomed-in look camera that follows the protagonist. It might seem slow, but I ensure something is always happening to progress the plot forward.
- Gritty and often bloody fights and actions scenes with a focus on taijutsu—you'll see individual combat, team fights, and large-scale battle.
- A different take on the Narutoverse. The world is full of superhuman mercenaries with liscenes-to-kill—that along with the protagonist's struggles paint the world in a much darker light.
- Additions and expansion to the "chakra" power system. I consider myself a conservative when it comes to adapting the power system—and aim to retain the original feel while highlighting the best parts.
- The Outsider's Resolve version of Narutoverse uses the [Naruto Manga] as the base—with additions from anime, books, and even Boruto (though very less likely).

Been reading this for a while now and just realized there aren't many reviews for the story. If you've been looking on this site you'll quickly realize that 99% of the stories on here are not original and most are just the bog standard reincarnation harem op MC sh*t over and over again. This story is the only thing I've found on this site that would be able to maintain the same rating if it were on lightnovelpub or pandanovel or any other site that has novels with much better average quality. The writing and story are great and the MC actually goes through struggles that make you feel like his actions are slowly paying off. If you want a good story - not just a good fanfiction, make sure to check this out and stick with it.

a good premise, all characters seem to have their own thoughts and needs so no one dimensional characters and a stable world building! People tend to forget that the world that naruto is based on is anything but kind and this novel portray this pretty damn well, easily one the best fan fics i've ever read! But be aware that if naruto is a shounen then this will be a seinen, maybe not for everyone.

This story should have been a solid 5 star with no complaints, BUT I give it a 4 star for the fact his talent during his school exam was faulty as hell. He clearly demonstrated the ability to see through illusions and the instructor just ignores this SUPER AWESOME sensory gem of a ninja and pushed him into the grunt solder corps. So yes super disappointed his talents got flushed down the shatter. Lost interest after that.

I love it so much. The loophole on the Naruto series are explained really well in this story. MC are not broken overpowered, but start weak and grow stronger little by little (I like it, kinda real, because in real life, progress are also slow a f) Story also progressed slow and not rushed, but still give important story for the next chapter. (I like it, slow story ussually give attention to the details and make story more richer in content, also make it not repetitive or not original) I kinda worried when he is already a little above his peers. I hope the power balance with his peers are not too great and makes any other NPC in the story seems not important, power wise.

Best Naruto fanfic I ever read. Not perfect, but what is ?
It's really slow, MC is still a Genin after 200 chapters, and there is a lot of setback.
But the author make such a good job, that it's addicting. Progess is earned in this fanfic.
The entire shinobi world feel so much bigger then in the original story, and not because he increased numbers. You also get a lot more focus on the interaction of the civilian and ninja side of the world.
The broken power system (in my opinion) of Naruto is largely fixed, but he is still at the bottom of the ladder, so we will have to see; but Jonin actually feel like 'Elite Ninja' while in the original story, after a 100 chapters, every Ninja was a Jonin.
This novel also as a amazing cold war feels to it. MC was part of
the police
MC is literally part of a proxy war between the Lands of Hot Water and Frost
Best Naruto fanfic on the whole website. But at this rythm, I will be 40 years old by the time he get to Chunin.

I mean that. This is written so skillfully. It knows how to pull you into the world and drag you along, grinding and suffering all the while. I was convinced this was misery p*rn after the academy arc but I kept reading to see if this was like A Wish to Grab Happiness.
What I mean by that is, I expected our MC to actually be abnormally powerful but because our narrator is unreliable, we the reader don't realize that until later. This is not the case. Our MC is genuinely weak and authentically gets stronger.
But man this REALLY shouldn't be a Naruto fanfic. Or a fanfic of anything really. It legit feels like the setting of Naruto drags the novel down. And it's worth mentioning that the main cast is isolated from our MC for a very long time. Where I stopped, he still hasn't interacted with anyone that's not an OC.
If a strongly written Naruto fanfiction is what you came here for, look elsewhere. This doesn't hit those notes or satisfaction points. But if you want a well-written novel that just so happens to take place in Naruto, step right up.

I figured out the way he have scars! He have both water and earth affinitys and orphean large chakra reserves and was alive around the time orochimaro leaved the village! Also one of the spectators in the rematch with bishop said the his scar look surgical as in surgery or an experiment of some kind which lead me to my final conclusion that takuma is infact an one of orochimaro's experiments!!!! Also great story I really like and waiting til the next chapter with eagerness!

The original story of Naruto is a story of a gary sue that manages to remove all his problems using unregulated emotions and tantrums.
I watched the original about 6 years ago when I was around 18 and I remember thinking that Naruto never really grew up and it was painful to finish it even while fast forwarding and skipping episodes.
Naruto is a cool premise and hook with bad execution and this novel aims to fix a lot of the things from the show by giving more insight into the way characters think and act, I think its very decent and entertaining.
The one misconception I've seen in some reviews and comments is that the protagonist of this novel is normal and untalented, he isn't. The protagonist of this novel has to put in a lot of work but he undoubtedly has a lot of talent and luck. This is not bad, in order for the protagonist to follow the main storyline of Naruto he will have to become nonsensically overpowered in a quick timeframe because Naruto (the character) becomes nonsensically overpowered in a short timeframe.
Very decent novel overall.

Phenomenal story thus far with a more realistic take on early isekai life. Satisfying victories and triumphs, it’s a really good read.

It’s really good, but at the same time extremely slow. It’s really gritty and not something that everyone will like.
