If my goal is to create a  complete reedit, restructure, and overall enhancement of the Naruto anime. Project explained (The goal of this project is to create the definitive viewing experience for both old fans and new. Like other fan edits, this project removes most filler and removes padding/fluff from the anime like unnecessary exposition, repetitive flashbacks, elongated shots, and so on Unlike other fan edits, however, trimming down the anime is just a byproduct of everything else offered in this project. The main selling point with Rebuild of Naruto is the narrative restructuring. Fans who have finished either the manga or anime should be rather familiar with how often Kishimoto changed details of the story over the course of the manga. However, what's truly remarkable about Kishimoto as a storyteller is that he managed to make even the most drastic changes without making many retcons (changing events we have already seen to support new information). Instead, he used flashbacks to either show us new scenes that occurred during sections of the story we had already seen, or to reveal new information through the perspective of another character. This method of "retconning" was fantastic when the story was unfolding, but now that the story is over, this method has unfortunately left quite a sloppy mess of the chronology. That is what this project aims to correct: to enhance the storytelling of the anime with the benefit of hindsight To go along with this restructuring, each individual "arc" of the show is presented as a movie or series of movies. Episode in a story arc are seamlessly stitched together to create a naturally flowing feature film. Filler?
As mentioned, I am cutting most filler. The filler arcs/scenes that are included in this project have been hand-selected as ones that I believe add to character development or the world-building in a meaningful way.) Is this best way to structure the narrative?  Naruto
