No Harem nor Romance 3. There will be a lot of ki**ing 4. The story will start slow. Quite a few of the initial chapters will be around training, orphanage and academy life, instead of directly becoming a Genin. 5. The MC is a careful, he won't put his life at risk unless there is no other choice. 6. There will be no Boruto plotline Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or it's characters (except the original characters I create)
