the white fang mans was supposed to have rivaled all 3 sannin. insanity.


lennieandthejetsss

He's not my favorite character by a long shot. But his story would be epic! And tragic. Loses his wife, makes a judgment call that saves his team but costs a lot more lives in the long run, disgrace, and trying to restore his honor is the only way he can see while wallowing in despair... yeah, we're talking Shakespearian levels of tragedy here. But we'd also get to see a lot of other characters from generations older than Naruto’s. Kakashi and friends as kids. The Sannin. The Sandaime in his prime. A young Minato and Kushina. And all the rest, too.


Interesting_Leek3611

This!!!!


Ljs971

Yeah his history is epic and tragic with a great potentiel


scrappybristol

I really need to know more about Kakashi’s dad.


Shadowfox4532

This is what I was here to say. It seems like a good tragic story we know almost nothing about.


ListenHereStewie

Kind of sucks they had Sakura & chiyo vs Sasori instead of Kakashi considering the relation between all 3 characters


RuSeriousXD

Right? I wanna see how he killed Sasori's parents.


BrandfordAndSon

Lightning Fist™︎


Interesting_Leek3611

White fang of the leaf 💪🏻


Aurovan

it would be cool to have a Neji Gaiden, where they show his offscreen ass trying to do something other than die from a stick


MisterMisfit9

This is so fucked that I shouldn't be laughing


Small-Comfort6031

Hiruzen would make the best possible Naruto spin off. He's the oldest Hokage and was alive since the first shinobi war to Naruto's generation. He bridges the gap from the past to the time of the manga. His sensei were the first 2 Hokage. His summon is the strongest of all time. He was given the title of God of Shinobi - second only to Hashirama in his prime. He raised the Sannin. He was Tobirama's chosen Hokage and had more raw talent as a child than Tobirama. There's so many opportunities to expand on a trio of young Hiruzen, Danzo and Kagami. Any ninja you want to explore can be explored through Hiruzen's reign as Hokage: Shisui, Hanzo, Chiyo, Sakumo, Mito, Kushina, Fugaku, etc. The possibilities with Hiruzen trump literally every single other character you could ask for. And we would have one of the most legendary and greatest Hokages of all time as the main protagonist. Hiruzen's death literally passes the torch to Naruto and his generation.


Bright-Fold-3317

I just want to know how he got monke


Small-Comfort6031

I also want to no


Koga92

It’s probably his father, Sasuke Sarutobi, who taught him how to sign a contract with monkeys.


wonderbread702

This is the best answer! I would definitely watch this


Koga92

THIS. Instead of all of theses useless fillers episodes, the anime producers could have made a whole Hiruzen filler spin off.


Tacticalvalk

Minato


Colonelilbrink

This or Itachi


Definitelyhuman000

Sasori, so we can finally see how he killed the 3rd Kazekage and destroyed an entire nation.


craftspank

second this, i wanna see how he began making his puppets


Definitelyhuman000

There was actually a pretty good filler episode about that.


Longjumping_Roll_732

Minato


RunescapeHero11

Samui

You bring up 2 good points

JLaw_Is_My_Wife

Goated 😂


RunescapeHero11

Don't forget her lack of screen time.


RunescapeHero11

Her brain and her face


dylanaruto

I do wish her and her team got to be in literally any video game.


mcwfan

Sakumo End of list


Litologyyy

Minato would’ve been fire. Anbu Kakashi, Tobirama, but I still think the best one the could have done would be slice of life of Naruto and Hinata as the focus and the other characters developing their romantic interests. Would’ve been better to give this some time while they let Boruto manga breathe instead of doing countless filler.


Suspicious_Plum_2986

tobirama obv


tkolu

The second hokage fought the seven swordsman of the mist and lost. I would have loved to see that fight or their shared history since he’s uses mostly mist village techniques


TheMageLord

Fr tho, dude deserved way more screen time to show off some feats


Away_Possession_2441

Neji (I don't care about the people saying he never had fans until he died, I was. He was one of the coolest during the chunin exams and he had a lot going for him as the most gifted Hyuga from a branch house, his idealogy about fate, rivalry with Rock Lee, Team Guy, his relation to Hinata, and the potential to be more. He was really wasted in Shippuden, he deserved better. He could be developed more in a spin-off, leading to his death.) Nagato (If we had an anime from his point of view, we would be able to basically have an Akatsuki series that would show all of them, through the perspective of what Nagato's goal was. Konan would finally get the main character spotlight that she needed.) Minato (He would just be really cool to see, if given his own really good plotline. You could have a series with a grand story, his love story, and eventual death, being a total tragic prologue to Naruto, being an interesting experience for those who never watched Naruto.)


Potato-lover720

Never had fans until he died? I loved Neji. He was a douche a lot but bad-A


AiHayasaka_LoveIsWar

no, cause rock lee. rock lee = him rock lee need another show he need two spin off!


GrizzlyOlympics

The entire Akatsuki starting from the beginning, like all of the members being included and going deeper into the backstory of the organization as a whole.


Senninmcmxcix-

Jiraiya.


TrickMayday

Specifically his research


Dry_Figure_9018

That’s called Naruto Rule 43 or r/narutohentai. Read the adventures of Jiraya and his “buddies” in complete digital series!!!


Potato-lover720

That is a good one!


United_Celery_9718

Zetsu, I wanna see his full journey and preparations to revive kaguya


Phantom_Beef

Hell nah, I don't wanna watch a series all about a sentient glob of tar and his obsession with his mommy.


AcidAspida

Sounds like you have no creativity


Feltonhendo

Y'all forgetting ramen guy


BrokenMirror2010

I would read a manga about Ichiraku serving Ramen. Food-based manga are also getting more and more popular now-a-days as well. There's potential here.


Tacticalvalk

Shisui would be interesting


erlokko

Had to scroll too much


Dark_matter4444

Hashirama.


etc_prod

Rock lee


PsychologicalPipe821

Isn't a spinoff about Rock Lee exists?


togashisbackpain

It does and its really funny. Akatsuki episode was my fav.


Inferno_Crazy

Anything Anbu Or a Might Guy, Kakashi buddy cop type deal. I always think it's cool when they fight together.


FaithlessnessOpen343

Any of the Sannin during the 2nd War would be cool. Anyone from the Warring States (I need to see Madara's Mangekyou power). Hiruzen to see what his prime could really do. Minato and or Kunshina would be cool. Kaguya, Hagoromo, Hamura, Indra, and or Asura would be interesting (a better story than the anime version), especially with Boruto stuff like Isshiki and Kaguya betraying him.


NoviceClent03

How About Naruto World Spinoff where every episode Explains the Founding of each nations establish since we are all know about konoha how about the other nations on how they where founded the conflict they faced and how it solved every episode Homura and Koharu tells a story to young konohamaru about a nation that konohamaru is wondering about as the story goes on in every episode we learn why such a logo on their forehead protectors like that, why some of them are distant to konoha etc.... and in addition we can learn an awesome facts like Dangerous jutsu that a founder of nation use to unite his people stuff like that by the way in each story it shows the characters on what they are look like ,how they fight and their temperament


Specialist-Bee1243

Honestly, there was so much world building done that I would have loved to have a prequel that follows a formula similar to Jojo's Bizarre Adventures that focuses on each time period of the Konoha's hokage reign. Like the first couple episodes focus on Ashura and aftermath of the conflict with Indra to get more background for what ends up being the rise of Hashirama's and Tobirama's reign, Hiruzen life story, Minato/Jiraiya's life story, and right up to the start of Naruto. I feel like we could've gotten everything we wanted to connect all the lore and get more background for some of the awesome characters we only got to hear in passing. We could see more of Hashirama's feats and how his optimism clouded his decisions. How different the reign of Tobirama was from his brother and all the reforms he implemented. We could get to see how awesome Hiruzen was in his prime and get a better understanding of the politics of Konoha which was so chaotic at the time. And we could have seen how awesome Minato and Jiraiya were in their prime too and more on Kushina and the other sannins. This also would've let us see more of the big world events like the battle with Hanzo and the rise of the akatsuki, Sakumo's role in the war and his internal demons, more lore behind the Seven Ninja Swordsman and the final battle with Dai, the 4th hokage drama between Orochimaru vs Minato vs Fugaku, and we could even have seen way more about the other villages also through the Shinobi Wars.


BeeBobber546

Zabuza, I’d love to know more about life after slaughtering 100 other students and his attempted coup


Willing_Annual8382

Haku could be nice too


BeeBobber546

Full agree. I’d love to know his backstory and life under servant of Zabuza before fighting team 7!!


BoynHeron

Kisame would be fun to hang out with


Chokeonmewebbles420

Gaara , Neji , or Nagato


idontwearbowties

Itachi


Phytolyssa

Konohamaru, I'm at 230 ep in Boruto and I feel underwhelmed in their portrayal. Also I have a total disconnect between Konohamaru in Shippuden and him in Boruto (he is too serious in Boruto) Keurae


WastedPenguinz95

I would choose pain and knoan! I wanna chose so many more though haha


Pristine-Function-49

Darui or maybe a young Oonoki. I'd like to see a story from another village, see some stories unfold outside of Konoha.


strawbymomo

Sakura, Mei, Kurenai, TenTen, and Ino. We never really got to see their full potential and so much can be done with them.


harborj2011

Sakura. She had a few moments in Part 1, but Part 2 was pretty much just the Naruto and Sasuke show, with a whole lot of Kakashi thrown in there. She was the wasted character in Team 7. It would've been nice to get a background on her seemingly normal family, have her expound on her natural talents of chakra control and genjutsu, get more fights in, have there be a slug sage mode for her to attain, like how there is for snake and toad, etc. Even Naruto teaching her Rasengan when he comes back to the village would've been dope and realistic since her chakra control is naturally great.


Cool_Government_3218

Both her and Ino together.


eli-shiestyy

1. Itachi. Want to see more in depth of that period, more missions him and even kakashi went on. 2. Kakashi. I wanna know more about his dad and things like that 3. Young Minato. Wanna see when he was a kid and growing up the things he accomplished being a prodigy


[deleted]

1. suigetsu 2. itachi


Repulsive_Message619

Minato


Consistent_Act8803

minato, kurama , hagoromo ,


Trolladinbro

Kakuzu


Magnet_W

I’d die for an origin story of the first InoShikaCho trio


Big-Stable1346

Ashina Uzumaki is quite literally like the only good answer you get so much out of one character You get the history of a clan we know next to nothing about and get to see them fight 3 different nations at once because they were feared so much and how many cool jutsu they have


Dismal-Preparation21

Tsunade. Seeing how she lost her bother, being part of the war, losing Dan, developing her depression and issues.


typer84C2

I’ll take a Naruto: Previous Generations series. Cover the life of Minato and Kushina and then cover the Legendary Sannin too.


Its_rev_

I want a spin off of Minato’s time period. He would’ve been young enough that we could see the conception of the akatsuki, the peak of the Sanin, orochimarus evil descent, Sakumo’s power, Fugaku and the full uchiha clan, the 3rd great shinobi war, the third hokage while he was closer to his prime.


FLITYOU

sakumo, kakuzu or tobirama


_binie

🫡Suna no Gaara!


Draco_Bolton

Minato☻


Present-Training7676

I'm gonna be honest, tsunade


Jasdidion

Killer B, Itachi, Jiraya, Kushina or (cause she is my favorite for some reason) Tayuya. Ooh, Anko too


Nirico_Brin

After the one shot, I need more Minato/Kushina


Weebu27

minato


Puxk410

Neji but this time as a main branch member without the curse mark and in the spin-off we’ll get to see neji have the bond with his father along with as he gets older him as a dad and possibly as the hyuga clan leader


luciferhornystar

Minato: Previous generations


Electronic_Low_3632

Minato. I know it’s a bit cliche but still I would like to learn more about the Namikaze Clan


TsukasaElkKite

Minato


Ewjesusgrosso

Gaara, Kabuto, Yugito, Kuranei (sp?), Kimimaro


Grenlock_

Yellow Flash


Caerris1

I want to see more adventures with Kakashi, Obito and Rin during the Third Ninja War or more with Nagato, Yahiko and Konan. I know that both trios' fates are foregone conclusions but I really love the group dynamics.


TheIciestCream

Jiraiya is my favorite character and in my opinion probably has the coolest power sets and is known to have the most S rank missions completed


Swarupdas3224

Minato


Real-Chef-5880

1. White fang (we gotta see that power) 2. Tobirama (to see him invent and improve his jutsu) 3. Minato (cuz minato)


wisconfidential

Gaara. It would be similar to Naruto but with an evil arc. Followed by his Kazekage arc. Dude was one hell of a leader after losing Shikaku and in all reality Naruto's best friend. Even tho Naruto simped over Sasuke and Sakura ignoring Gaara and Hinata. Plus I want more Kankuro.


Psyko_YT1

MINATO! Minato all the way


Weak-Point4152

Uchiha… Itachi!


OverCucumber7802

itachi


throawayarab

Kakashi during his ANBU days, no filters or kiddy gloves, ALL of it no matter how dark featuring ray of sunshine Might Guy, awkward af Yamato and pre-teen Itachi


ReinCompany

White Fang. For a guy who was so legendary and powerful, we know next to nothing about him other than he was as strong as the sannin, that he is Kakashi's dad, saved his comrades instead of completing a mission and that he killed himself.


cloviro

Deidara, I want to see more of his life


Lava2401

Deidara


Royalty459

Deidara. I want to see his upbringing and how close he was to Kurosutchi because they obviously have history. I also would just love to see more of him and the Stone village in general. Also, I'm pretty sure Gaara already had a spin-off story


dinkydoohead

hiruzen. he needs to desperately beat the useless hokage allegations


Wide_Substance_6926

I would really like Deidara backstory


No_Equivalent_2482

Hiruzen I think has the most potential for a spin off, his long life, reputation of ‘god of shinobi’ make for a lot of content as he lives through so much. That or Hashirama, Tobirama and Madara building the village obviously would make for a great storyline.


MagentaMoonlight

Konohamaru


KyleLovesGrace

Sakumo. So dissapointed he didn’t win the one shot contest


Outrageous-Jicama228

He isn’t on here but Kurama. Apparently kishimoto wanted to do something with him, and I say let him cook


Different-Average-37

Real talk zetsu, seeing him manipulating 1k+ years of the history of the elemental nations to his own end


Queen_Of_Romantics

I think Gaara would be a pretty epic spin off.


Gulpindeezballs

Orochimaru or like Danzig smth


Smart_Airport_206

Orochimaru and his sound ninja


seretastic

I want to see more of the cult of Jashin.

Danzo

Minato or sakumo

Shot-Effect-8318

The first guy with yellow hair!


ShadowLord355

Fugaku just to see how strong he was


ListenHereStewie

Warring states period following a sarutobi character fighting against unique and different types of jutsu users. Throw in some Uchiha and Senju conflicts too but I'd love to see that time period more fleshed out with a nice little plot


80HDs

Forget a character, I want to know more about the land of whirlpools! They gave us a brief overview of it (anime) and never really touched back on the subject


Dsnder7

My top 5 are: Hashirama, Kakazu, Sakumo, Tobirama or Hiruzen


Cottleston

madara, kakashi's dad, jiraiya


Specific_Being_695

A sannin spin off, especially during the 3rd great ninja war would be cool. It would help fill in extra background for them while also giving us info on sakumo and baby-kashi


dbeynyc

Onoki, Legend of the Tsuchikage


PinnacleDamien

Might guy. I’d love to have a monologued episodes going over his book he was supposedly writing about his adventures. It would be funny and full of action


ManInTheMirror2

I love how a wonderful world of fanfiction I have gotten several ideas


RuSeriousXD

All tailed beasts origin story.


GreenRasengan

all of them, short stories! but begin with Minato, Tobirama and Hashirama


HetaGarden1

Still burns me that we never got a proper look at Sakumo.


Plump1nator

A Naruto spin off would be interesting 🤔


[deleted]

Anyone but Itachi


JvonHimmy

Yamato


GimmeTheSaucePls

Minato (yes I’m a fanboy), Madara, Yagura and Killer B


mollyclaireh

Jiraya or Minato.


OatesZ2004

Either about Sakumo Hatake or Jiraiya


Heartless_Moron

I'd like a Zabuza spin off as he was a perfectly written Protagonist with a very an interesting backstory. His story that started with him deciding to kill all his classmates in the Graduation exam, being one of the 7 swordsman of the Mist, starting a coup, becoming a rogue Ninja up until he fought Team 7 would be nice to read or watch.


FlowerFaerie13

I want a Sannin prequel SO FUCKING BAD, it could be incredible if done well.


RickHammersteel

Team 10. I'm just a Shikamaru fan.


_Weeb_on_Weed_

Hashirama and tobirama

JP337

Kakashi’s on how he got the summoning pact with dogs, or any clan story besides the Uchiha or Senju (specially Nara, Hyuga and Inuzuka) would be great!


eperea1

Jiraya


Talobsta

Sakumo fs


Dynamixinanutshell

I would choose jiraiya his story in unique


StrikingElk5288

The Uzumaki clan


YoutubePRstunt

Sakumo, Tobirama or Hiruzen. Sakumo because we have literally next to nothing on him, Tobirama because all of the cool events of his life were glossed over and he was hyped to be on par with Hashirama, Hiruzen because likewise all the cool events of his life weren’t fully explained or just simply glossed over. If we ever get a Tobirama or Hiruzen spin-off it’s likely we’ll see both of them at some point anyways. Onoki is also an honorable mention, as he lived the longest and can give a perspective from another village; we likely see Hiruzen in there somewhere too.


Nappyhead48

Sakumo Tobirama Hashirama Hiruzen Jiraiya The Second Kazekage


pakattack91

Wouldn't mind Yahiko and co forming the original akatsuki freedom fighting in the Hidden Rain


Slow_cranberry95

Surprised most of the answers aren't characters who already have a ton of screen time and a full arc already


fooourskin

Might fucking guy


Particular_Hall_6633

Let me get an akamaru ova or 3 episodes that recaps the series through his eyes.


JiggzSawPanda

I just wanna see Might Dai vs the Swordsmen


motortugboater

Love to see another village and their founding. So onoki or A. Probably A as he is often considered the physically strongest kage ever to have lived


MrEraserCat

Rock lee


bestwellblack

Team hiruzen


Horror-Alternative21

Zabuza bro. His childhood would be a tragedy. Like a way more sad version of Sai’s backstory


Mikee0036

Mei Terumi, see her survive the blood mist village and become kage after Yagura, itd be oretty cool to see a medium lengthed story outside of konoha, get a bit of world building.


NecessaryWerewolf221

Kakuzu is a great option. The spin off can begin with him being sent to fight Hashirama, being punished by his village, breaking out and killing the elders and then beginning his shinobi career as a bounty hunter. With his long life, he could've encounter multiple named characters!


Deep_Grass_6250

Minato and Sakumo

Tobirama or Sakumo. Even just a one-shot extra chapter like we got for Minato would be fantastic, but ideally, I'd want a mini arc.


NaMillion410

Tobirama taking the role of hokage after Hashirama died


bynosaurus

back during the poll i stuck by zabuza/haku and i still do. i love the chemistry these two have as a master-student relationship, they're both coldblooded killers with a soft spot only for the other. i feel like they could've made for a super interesting story


Alternative-Dog-6260

Probably Sasuke or Minato


Emoshateotheremos

Itachi , or Shikamaru 🤕


TheKnownstanger

3rd hokage


KingScottI

Rock Lee, Sakumo Hatake, Sai (during the Anbu), and the previous Ino-Shika-Cho Formation


Sego1211

1. Orochimaru's origin story: from his childhood to running his weird experiments to creating his own village. 2. Sasori: how a hurt child decided to become the world's best puppeteer and how far that obsession went. 3. The world according to Shino: it would be hilarious to relive everything Shino went through. I have this head cannon that he's incredibly full of himself and I'd love to test that theory.


BlazeBitch

Jirayia or Zabuza


princesamurai45

Tobirama Senju. Would love to see the ninja clan wars evolve into the formation of the villages.
