The council will have Naruto and Sasuke return to Konoha at the age of 12 to take the Genin exam, though they have no knowledge of each other. Sakura is placed on their team due to her high grades and chakra control, which would make her an excellent medical ninja and Genjutsu specialist later on. Keep in mind that since Sasuke was not in Konoha and only attended the academy for a couple of weeks, Sakura did not grow up a fangirl and her friendship with Ino should still be intact.
The fic will not be NaruSaku centric, so the author will have to be open-minded and well versed in Action/Adventure writing. The NaruSaku development will start around the time of the Wave Country arc and will continue on in periodic burst after that. By the end of the fic Sakura will be pregnant with Naruto's child but they won't be married (for the drama :teehee:). For the most part, Part 1 will stay true to canon while adapting to the Council's plans and Naruto's and Sasuke's increased growth, while branching off from canon as Part 2 begins.
Sasuke will still defect from Konoha because he believes the Council doesn't have his own goals in mind and goes to Oro so he could truly begin to train in order to kill Itachi. When Sasuke leaves Naruto will begin to focus on bringing down Akatsuki and will further train with Jiraiya. Sasuke will still betray Oro and gather Team Hebi to search for and kill Itachi. Itachi, like the canon, will fight Sasuke in order to unlock Sasuke's MS and will die. Madara will recruit Sasuke into Akatsuki, once again, like the canon and Sasuke will eventually betray Madara, kill him, and take control of Mizugakure and the Bijuu. Sasuke will wage war on Konoha in order to kill the council for what they did to his brother and family, and Iwa, Kumo, and Ame will back him up. Naruto will have killed the rest of Akatsuki at this point and will have been instated as Hokage. Naruto will retaliate to Sasuke with Suna backing him up. The fic will end with a final battle between Naruto and Sasuke.
Now, this won't be a "Super Powerful" Naruto and Sasuke fic. By the time they're 12 they'll only be as strong as Haku. Naruto (at 12) will be able to use Rasengan and will be working on Fuuton: Rasengan (not FRS). He'll only be able to use about 3-4 wind jutsu but will be shown to have exponential skill in Fuuton; his speed will be moderate but KB makes up for it. Concerning his Kyuubi abilities, he'll be able to control KN0 but no higher.
Sasuke will be able to use Chidori and will be working on it's variations. He'll have exponential speed (almost equal to Lee) and his Sharingan will be at the 3-tomoe stage. Like Naruto he'll have 3-4 random lightning jutsu but will be mentioned to have exponential skill in the element. Like in the canon, he'll have Katon as a secondary element.
This won't be an "emo-Naruto" fic. He'll be more mature than his canon self and will be far more calmer, but he'll still have his uplifting spirit and ability to change people by being blunt. Sasuke, however, will more or less be his canon-self.
This will be an epic length fic (over 100,000-400,000 words) as it will take place from the time of the Uchiha Massacre to the time Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are around 16-18. As such, the author will have to be experienced, committed, have a good grasp of the English language, and will have to be able to write in detail all I have specified and figure out how to develop towards these events. I will be ever so grateful if someone excepts my request.
So, is any one up to the challenge
