Summary
You ever just want to look at a timeline for Naruto and go 'yeah that'll work' for the time period before the series starts? How about just wanting to share oddball ideas you've had that in no way would ever go into a serious story without writing the story they would go in? Or maybe you're just lazy and want to have something to work from? Well, that's this, right here. Naruto-verse as done by me, mix and match to your heart's content!
Note
Okay, so I've got headcanons for things scattered all over the internet for this fandom and I felt it was about time I sorted things out and consolidated. Especially considering I've been picking up ever more muses for Naruto and with them has come me figuring out gaps in the timeline. For instance, where exactly the wars Konoha was involved in fall as indicated by birth rates, as just one example.On the other hand, there will be weird and horrifying headcanons and I'll do my best to note them as they come up so people can skip them. Some of these chapters will be hilariously cracktastical ridiculousness that I almost never use in anything. Other chapters will be thought out and serious considerations I've taken years to chisel out into something viable. It won't always be clear which is which.The only things that this will have in common from chapter to chapter are that I don't mind if other people use any of these ideas and that they're all concepts I want to share about my take on the Naruto universe.
