This story will be set in the Naruto world as a base. That said, various abilities and mechanics won't necessarily work the same. I will make sure to clarify the differences as they appear in the story.
It'll be pretty obvious, but the main character's predecessor is heavily based off Gu Yuena from Doulou Dalu 3. They're not exactly the same, but are very similar.
The history of this world is a little different as well. I'll name one change initially; the S-Rank criminal version of the Akatsuki was never formed. They aren't the main villains in this story. Lastly, the first sixteen years will be rushed for the most part. I'm mainly putting it in the story to establish the setting, but I'm not a fan of the idea of detailing the academy days. Genin rank is achieved at 16 for this story, so things are going to feel a little rushed until then. That'll only be the first 10 or so chapters though.
