Description

What if Naruto befriended Sasuke in EP 1? Would Sasuke still walk away from the village? This Naruto what if story goes from the Chunin Exams to the Valley of the End, and the road after it. In canon, two lonely kids grow up on opposite sides of Konoha and the story slowly turns them into rivals. In this what-if, they have been close since they were about eight, so from EP 1 they face everything together, and everything that broke them in canon still happens: the Land of Waves, the Chunin Exams, Orochimaru's curse mark, and Itachi's return. Naruto stays stubborn but gets colder and quieter. Sasuke stays hard but never quits. Together they face Zabuza, Gaara and the Akatsuki, swap techniques, and end up at the Valley of the End with one question left: who walks away? What's in this video: - Naruto and Sasuke's friendship before the graduation exam - Mizuki and the forbidden scroll night - The Land of Waves with Zabuza and Haku - The Chunin Exams, Orochimaru and the curse mark - The Sand and Sound invasion, Gaara and the Third Hokage - Itachi and Kisame at the gates of Konoha - The Valley of the End - Two and a half years of training with Jiraiya and Kakashi Made for Naruto fans who love what-if and alternate story videos. It helps if you know the first part of the series. Do you think Sasuke would still have left? Tell me in the comments, and subscribe for more Naruto what-if stories. Fan-made what-if story.
