good deidara: "art is an Explosion" (becomes a party planner who specializes in mind-boggling fireworks displays)

I like the idea of Sasori becoming a weird cousin to Kankuro. Wouldn’t even be his most homicidal family member.

First thought: Hidan knocking on doors and asking his neighbors if they've heard the good news

good Zetsu: "Honor your mothers" (establishes nursing homes with staff that don't abuse the elderly)

good Orochimaru: "Youth must be maintained and cherished" (researches into stem cell-based medical procedures)

good Pain: "this world shall know pain" (becomes a CrossFit trainer)

Good Pain be like: The world shall know pleasure!! **proceeds to pleasure the entire Konoha**

The Akatsuki being good guys could be a whole spinoff series by itself, I would definitely read it.

My therapist: "don't worry Pain can't hurt you anymore he's nice now" Nice Pain: "this world shall know comfort"

I love deidara. His opinion of art isnt something that sits on a shelf and gets stared at, its something that is massive, impactful, and brief. A beautiful moment that exists momentarily and yet it leaves a huge impression

good Madara: "the Leaf village hates me and my ideology" (leaves to make his own ninja village on par with the Leaf Village)

good hidan be like: "do you all have time to talk about our lord and saviour jesus christ"

good deidara : "art is an implosion" *implodes his art*

Konan was never evil. She was just protecting her broken brothers.

Nick is so happy he doesn't have to talk about Sasuke for once.

The only issue I have with the Hidan redemption arc is, shikamaru explains to him the wildlife would never let it happen as they're the only ones trusted in that area, so he couldn't of gotten out of there unless somehow he snuck away which would be very difficult considering he would need to take time to regenerate without being spotted by the animals that call the place home

good Obito: "I can't live in a world without Rin!" (accidentally isekais himself into an alternate world where Rin is still alive"

Hidan: *knocks on my door* "Have you heard about the good word about our lord and savior Jashin"?

good Sasori: "art is eternal" (becomes an architectural engineer) (also creates transforming puppets akin to Transformers)

11:45 bro hates Saskue so much Deidara kills Saskue LMAO

Itachi's smile at thumbnail is what a random uchiha kid seen before itachi cut his head...

I am constantly astounded how youtubers can create a more interesting and fulfilling story with the characters than Kishimoto did.

Uchiha massacre children to Obito: "Master Uchiha,there's too many of them,what are we going to do?" ObiTo KenObito: "This is where the fun begins.."

God, Nick I swear, you truly are the best Naruto KZfaqr. You really do understand all these characters so well. These don't even feel like fanfiction, they feel like real ways the story could have went. I love you so much for this. Especially Deidara and Itachi's. Edit: I also love how you downplayed the altercation between Sasuke and Itachi, and how you cleared up what really killed him.

Okay the Itachi one got me. When you said sauske remembers him on the pole, those feelings flooding being angry but more confused, that’s good writing. Do more writing nick

I like how you tied Itachi’s and Nagato’s together

I’m glad you understood that Deidara got his happy ending But in this scenario he should have just never been brought back by Edo Tensei

good hidan be like: "I have no enemies"

Imagine if kishimoto didn’t write deidara not to blow himself up, so you’re in the middle of a battle then you suddenly from the sky just hear “FOR AAAARRRRT!!!” And then just BOOM

good kakazu be like: "hey guys, today we're gonna do last to keep their hands on the tail beast gets to keep it"

There's one problem with your segment on Nagato. Nagato wouldn't be able to help them bury Yahiko's body because the moment he detaches himself from the Gedo Statue he'll die, as that was the only thing keeping him alive, similar to Madara.

As Sasuke was getting disintegrated hagaromo appeared saying stand proud you were strong but you can get even stronger with forgiveness and love , he showed him the truth about the massacre he understood changed his way are returned to the village and gave him the ems

Nick needs to watch Road to Ninja again.

I love when you create what if scenarios

Zersu's happy ending is AMAZING

Man that kisame one almost made me cry, this was a really good video Nick

I like the concept, but I was expecting this to be more of a re-imagining of their origins/outcomes as opposed to a "What if their story didn't end there?" scenario. Still another excellent break down, though 💯

Duuuuude. That Itachi segment brought tears to my eyes. Damn good writing sir, damn good.

Appreciate the new video bro, u never miss 💯

I miss these what ifs these are my favorite they’re genuinely unique and always well executed it’s dope to see this again

The Akatsuki is a succesful attempt at bad guys (Anime and non Anime)((((and itachi)even though he was a spy)but did slaughter his clan) but to save his plot amor drippin Brother) working together towards something bigger than themseleves (which shits on almost Villians to date) and my god most of the characters in the Akatsuki was freaking relate-able or can be imagined from different views.... when the villians are actually relatable the story just gets that much better! Thats why i Love the

The true ending for the show was the end of pain arc.Having mc achieving his goal plus reviving side character and the villan himself getting redemption was a great ending imo

One change would be instead of Itachi "snagging a new eye from Obitos place" he just use Shisui's eye from the Crow that he had.

Deidara's happy ending would be killing all Sasuke, Itachi and Obito (after discovering Tobi is also an Uchiha) at the same time with his C0 and then high fiving Tobirama in heaven.

“Father this time I will be the one to not fight back” 🔥

Deidara met his idol Patrick the star who told him the wisdom of fun imparted by his friend he realizes that fun is not only explosions but friends so he joined the sand village with sasori

Fully convinced at this point that Nick could write an AMAZING manga

Where's the review😭

Loved this, great writing

Zetsu Ending: Naruto talk no jutsu Kaguya and Zetsu through Ino telepathy. Then Kaguya realizes that naruto and many others are nice people like what hagoromo told her b4, and that there is hope, and Kaguya/zetsu scraps the eye of the moon plan. Then kaguya tells naruto/others through Ino telepathy about the otsusuki and all that :)

good Kakuzu: "Greed is good and money is power!" (Becomes a great investment advisor/financial supervisor)

Add Kisame and Itachi getting married for their happy endings. FIGHT ME.

Could've added a happy ending for Juzo to cover all Akatsuki members. Except for Orochimaru, because right now he is living his best life - conducting his experiments without being hunted.

What an interesting premise, love the video.

The Kakuzu one is honestly something I could see being canon. The others feel kinda fanfic-y, but genuinely I could see the Leaf just using him as a jobber merc for enough of a pay lmao 😭

Ahahahaha he said first Uchiha Hokage. Tobirama twitched in his grave hearing that

Damn the feels in Sasori's fanfict

“I only have 2 hands and there’s 9 of them” 😂😂

I wish the Zetsu story would be more like "Hey, Nagato" Konan and Yahiko cut him down and says nope. not trusting you. Story over

"Do you love me, now!?" -Good Pain

That happy ending joke in the beginning was great

The opposite of a happy ending is a tragic backstory

It’s the duality of them thst brings them close to people. Like in life nuisance is relatable 😊

It's always nice to see the screw zetzu train still running as hot as it was when he became a plot device to kill madara

Drink everytime he says the akatsuki or one of their names.

I love all these, and I love how Grammy Chiyo still dies,big w

I’d be interested in a video “you know nothing about a Reverse Happy-ending” lmfao

I would argue Deidara's happy ending would be less about his final art and more so his art just being apprciated. I walways liekd the idea he found a way to make his art popular (like mini scuplures that explode like fireworks or something) and he would be able to feel appricated in his village.

Good Pain be like: All Mighty Hug!!

Deidara gets reincarnated into Kunosuba, he meets Megumin, and they become explosion buddies.

If I gave every Akatsuki a happy ending it would look like a very weird video on a black and orange website.

This reminds me of the Road to Ninja movie where the Akatsuki were in fact good guys or well honourable mercs at the very least in the Finite Tsukiyomi world that was created.

As much as Naruto is full of different elements to discuss we have to admire your creativity to keep each video fresh and engaging. Hope you stay on track Bro :)

When will you do a review on chapter 7 of boruto

I like the fact that Deidara's happy ending is still the same just adding Sasuke's death to it 🤣🤣🤣

We all need someone to reach out and give us our own happy ending different strokes for different folks I guess

Obito's perfect ending... Dying under the boulder that crushed him.

Great, now Konan can run an orphanage in hidden rain, to adopt all war orphans, as we know she really wanted a child but couldn't. This new life would enable her that wish❤❤

I need your chapter 7 review broski

Itachi and Kisame is the best seemingly evil combo ever! Their Powers are next Level and they did „evil“ things, but if You Look at their actual characters they are honorfull and real somehow good hearted

anyone else waiting on him to do just audio-book style manga reading?lol listening to all these stories was sooooo good & absolutely creative

Awesome as always thanks ❤

Itachi was technically a good guy. A double agent, you may call it.

i hope you make more what ifs in the future, some of these got me tearing up :)

Zetsu- without Madara, he himself is made into the vessel of Kaguya, resurrected into the new age amongst the reincarnations of her grandsons. happily without the hatred and ignorance that ruined her life millennia ago. And finding a bit of her lost family when the Otsutsuki start popping out of the woodwork looking for their precious tree, they see at the forefront a much more powerful Kaguya, alongside a pantheon of god tier warriors and leaders ready to remind them the concept of family. Also doesn't help that at Kaguya's insistence, Naruto joins her as the new patriarch after Sasuke (sensing the loom danger) heads out on a journey of repentance.

Nagato and Konan remember their past versions of themselves, Yahiko, Jiraiya and old Akatsuki after their encounters with Jiraiya and Naruto, realize the errors of their ways, repent their bad deeds and begin to reform Ame and Akatsuki and once again pursue pacifistic ways to achieve worldwide peace like Gandhi and help Naruto and Jiraiya (if he survives) in that task. Itachi remembers good old days in Konoha with his parents, Shisui and Sasuke at some point, realizes the error of clan massacre and his own ways, comes to a conclusion that Sasuke and others could've stopped the massacre had he put some faith in them, so he corrects his errors, repents, then returns to Konoha, becomes Jounin and helps Sasuke, Naruto and new Akatsuki in noble ways to make Konoha great, restore Uchiha clan and create peace among the nations. Kisame also remembers his days back in Kiri and his comrades he was persuaded to slaughter in one moment, realizes the manipulation of "Madara" (Obito), corrects his faults and decides to help Kiri, becomes the leader of the 7 Ninja Swordsmen and later works together with reformed Akatsuki as well. Creates alliance with redeemed Itachi and starts to work with him again in noble ways to help their villages, reveal the lies and unjust of the shinobi world, demolish them and thus create world of truth and justice. Sasori remembers his past life with his parents and Grandma Chiyo after fighting against Sakura and Chiyo, when he closely looked at the puppets he made out of his mom and dad, he understood the error of the way of the Art he chose. Corrects his crimes, starts to use his artistic concept of everlasting beauty in kind ways, returns to Suna, helps Gaara to rule and make great changes with his puppeteering skills, befriends Kankuro and helps him to develop his puppeteering skills, together with Chiyo (if she survives) and Kankuro, he creates more puppets for the benefit of the new Akatsuki and good of the shinobi world and entrusts them to the future generations and the puppets of himself and of his parents to Kankuro after he decides to finally become the ultimate masterpiece and rest in peace. Deidara in the battle against Sasuke, recalls memories of his times together with Akatsuchi, Kurotsuchi and old man Ohnoki, understands the wrong of the way of the Art he chose. Doesn't use his final explosion, instead he chooses to move away, corrects his faults, begins to use his artistic concept of momentary beauty and explosion in kind ways, returns to Iwa, reunites with Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi, makes revolutionary changes with his own masterpieces in Iwa and helps Ohnoki to change the village for better, as well as he helps reformed Akatsuki in their quest of world peace. He gets accompanied with redeemed Sasori and sometimes they together travel around the world as a wandering artists, showing the beauty of their artworks to the people around the world, make people connected together through the art and Deidara stages entertaining firework shows to entertain, bring joy and happiness to everyone and make the temporary beauty he creates forever memorable. One time he defeates Sasuke in friendly shinobi battle with his own explosions and proves the superiority of his art. Kakuzu remembers his youth as a loyal shinobi of his village, his loved ones and people to whom he used to call comrades during his battle against Naruto and Kakashi, he starts to understand the errors of his ways of collecting resources, how greed blinded him and how he suffers of what he has become. He corrects his wrongdoings, returns to Taki, uses his money in kind ways, to flourish his village and other minor villages, starts to collect money in noble ways, by investing funds in socially beneficial businesses and hunting on criminal ninjas who posses danger for the peace and security of the world to collect bounty. And uses all his money to help now peaceful Akatsuki and shinobi villages to ensure peace and security in the world. He Spends his money to stop world hunger, does charity, gives away hearts he collected for the people in need and does other philanthropic deeds. Hidan recalls his past life when he was a formidable shinobi who loyally and valiantly served his own village, his loved ones and comrades after his encounter with Asuma and Shikamaru, started to understand the manipulation of the Way Of Jashin, how it clouded his mind and lured him into darkness and fanaticism, how he suffered of what he has become. He repents his sins, leaves the Way Of Jashin and corrects his mistakes, he embraces the nobility and virtue of the Will Of Fire and Converts to it thus finally finds inner peace. Returns to Yuga, preaches the Will Of Fire and changes his own village and other minor villages for better with his missionary preaching and good deeds like Mother Theresa. Becomes the chief member of the Gurdian Shinobi Of 12 to protect the peace and security of Land Of Fire and the entire shinobi world and fight the enemies of peace and security with Asuma (if he survives) and Shikamaru, helps reformed Akatsuki with his missionary deeds to ensure world peace together. Unites with redeemed Kakuzu, they join together again for the sake of their missionary and philanthropic deeds. Kakuzu helps him with his own recourses to spread The Will Of Fire around the world and Hidan helps Kakuzu to fight bad guys and collect money through donations and spend them in virtuous and beneficial things for the mankind in order to create "Heaven on the Earth". Obito remembers his times with Rin, Kakashi and Minato after he fought against Naruto, understood the errors of his way, acknowledged his old self, redeems himself and returns to Konoha, helps Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and the others to prosper Konoha and create peace among nations. Some time later after he repents his sins, he becomes Hokage, he puts Itachi as a Shadow Hokage and Kakashi as his first advisor, they together flourish Konoha and work closely with other nations to create ideal world, united and peaceful. Obito funds reformed Akatsuki and once again works together with them to achieve their goal, but now in noble and virtuous way. Black Zetsu during his fight against Naruto and fellas, remembers his time with Kaguya and the days when Kaguya used to be good person, analyzes his entire past and the people he had met during his lifetime, comes to understand that he was used by his own mother and created to be a slave, and later forced to serve Madara and Obito, He was created to be an obeying being and nothing more. Despite of his strong love towards his mother, he came to understand the error of his and Kaguya's view. He stops his mother unexpectedly, when she was off guard, tries to persuade her to change her ways, in which Naruto also helps and Kaguya finally gets persuaded that humans have a good nature which can prevail over the bad one just like Hagoromo told him, she regains the hope for humanity, thus stops Moon Eye Plan. And Kaguya warns them all about Otsutsuki, so they start to prepare world for such outcome and Kaguya promises them her alliance and Hagoromo and Zetsu are with her too. Madara's also given a second chance to help them and work together with remaining Uchiha to restore Uchiha clan, after he was convinced that Infinite Tsukuyomi was not a solution. Revived Madara and Hashirama temporarily become the eldest advisors of Konoha to help mankind for the time of Otsutsuki invasion and after that they shall rest in peace. Black Zetsu continues to live happily with his mother and brother. White Zetsu, observing the change of his counterpart, also understood that he was puppet too, created and used by Madara and thus decides to be free and he likes the new way of Akatsuki more than the sinister activities. They both make sure to make ecosystem full of life, making the healthy environment for everyone to live in peace and harmony, and everyone to be able to drink water through rivers or creeks without getting sick. Zetsu and Human races Cohabitate and start to create better world together. Zetsu help reformed Akatsuki to achieve their goal of world peace. They work together with redeemed Obito and Madara to help one another to make peace and equality between the Zetsus and Humans, and to create clean environment for healthy life. Kaguya and Zetsu establish their own realm and rule it with the harmony and the alliance with other shinobi villages. Orochimaru was a deserter and he is still alive, we already got to see his redemption, even though, in my opinion, he was the least redeemable member of Akatsuki. Fortunately he experienced shift of mind and heart, changed his way and again started to use his skills for good. For the benefit of the Konoha, Oto, and the Shinobi world (in this version for the new Akatsuki as well). He now conducts ethical experiments to increase the lifespan of humans and make the world a better place. I love this )))

imagine itachi being able to mentor and teach sarada dude i would of loved that in the story

Hidan has the funniest one lmaoo

😂Nick really said he is giving ppl a happy ending

I would love to see a "What if Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, were trained by the other Sannin"?

22:23 Susanoo’s DEFINITELY don’t need an EMS Nick, cmooon. Just the fact that itachi was able to use a Susanoo means that it’s not true. And even though it’s not canon, Indra was also able to use a Susanoo. Not to mention, a Susanoo seems to operate the same as the tomoe on a sharingan. The more experience you have, the more your Susanoo evolves. Now, the usage of a Susanoo usually the activation of an MS, meaning that you are usually wearing down your MS while having a Susanoo active. However, using a Susanoo doesn’t guarantee you need to active the MS. It’s just that activation of a Susanoo causes major pain and making you feel like your entire body is on fire. I can’t remember if it was Shisui or Madara, but one of them activated their Susanoo while being completely blind. So that means that a Susanoo doesn’t require anything other than a high pain tolerance and an MS in order to be activated

If you’re willing to do what ifs again, you gotta do “what if orochimaru took sasukes body at the end of part 1

Video idea: a list of the best actual ninjas in Naruto. Not the strongest or most powerful but the best at things like assassinations espionage Intel gathering etc.

11:57 wait nick you missed one 3.) Chakra drainage

Danzo would love hidan, and kakazu being a bounty hunter🤣🤣

These endings are way too nice like duude

Orochimaru’s happy ending would be finding a way to edo tensei Jiraya so he can be bugged by him for all eternity

"Why do you like akatsuki?" Me: Konan

"Deidara's happy ending" is really just Nick's happy ending

10:58 kinda weird that Saskue had enough chakra to genjutsu Manda and jump in his mouth but didn't have enough to defuse Deidara's bomb hmmm
