Among the chapters I use to expand the Naruto universe, the first thing I explain is each character in detail, at least the nine rookies. I created a truly complex system of ninja clans, civilian ninjas, ninja families, and ninja groups. The first category includes secret techniques, powerful, wealthy groups, and fully developed abilities. The second category comprises those who use whatever is at hand. Ninja families, on the other hand, are either rooted in tradition or are fallen clans with a traceable lineage.
Such is the bond among ninja families that they formed ninja groups—alliances between households meant to foster their growth and avoid fading into oblivion. Birthrates are incredibly high, and most ninja families have three to four children for three simple reasons: war, financial survival, and the brutal nature of the ninja life. Billy used this principle to explain each group behind the nine rookies—true ninja clans, where the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi form a unit almost as strong as the Hyuga. Together, they include at least 3,000 ninjas, whether retired, active, disabled, or in training. Other clans are grouped differently.
The Konoha complex is larger and more diverse, filled with hidden powerful figures, and the clan heads are far from jokes. Unlike the emotional tones often seen in Naruto, Billy portrayed the world as ruthless, nostalgic, and sinister—many shadows beneath the tree remain concealed. Condemnation, in lesser terms, becomes a story of how failure precedes every ninja, along with the deeper theory of sacrifice.
Without the Senju and a dark ending, Billy used the theory that all clan members intermarried, effectively dissolving the clan into a family. He merged the Uzumaki with lineages from the Land of Thunder, the Land of Sand, and the Land of Stone, increasing the red-haired population and producing notable characters. At the same time, he introduced more powerful Uchiha—on Fugaku’s level—who either formed their organizations or joined the black market across various ports. With such a large group, the Uchiha clan reached at least 2,000 ninjas, many of whom had extraordinary abilities without relying on the Sharingan. He applied the concept of genius to the Uchiha clan in its fullest glory, hiding traces of survivors in remote locations—descendants of Fugaku—while the world believed the clan extinct. He layered the map with alternate identities.
-I believe this is a real web of interests, filled with Machiavellian figures trying to use their magical powers to break any rule.–commented Alexander Krazvae, a politician with extensive studies on civilizations and deep knowledge about their composition and underlying reasons.
-It’s a chaotic world that chases after interests and survival. People only know war and use its forms because it’s the only thing they’ve ever known. –Billy replied, adding military strength to certain countries to restore real balance. Weak villages with nothing but failure can’t simply be written off. Beyond morality, it’s often explained that there are euphoric ninjas unwilling to spark war, and the Raikage’s abilities are terrifying—but even that is softened by the presence of treacherous hidden skills. Even Orochimaru operates in secrecy.
-Of course, in places , logic often disappears—but it always follows a path. You create characters with in-depth study, and more often than not, you crush people with a certain type of personality. You exploit weaknesses like the lust of emperors, pride, arrogance, hatred, or simple interests that make people forget the true nature of slaughter. –Alexander remarked, explaining not one or two systems, but full-fledged war machines.
The theory of perpetual conflict lived by the Roman states—even in peace, they prepared for war. Determinism versus free will… the idea of God and the concept of the end of the world.
-You’re right. –Billy said, now seeing how the Hidden Leaf Village was boxed into a mental map anchored not only to a military leader but also to an economic head and a leader of the clans.
-That may be, but many of us meddle in things we don’t understand. That’s why it’s tradition to hire an anthropologist and even a psychologist to teach us from other sources of information. –Alexander added.
In chapter 35, the battle between Team 7 and Zabuza was just ending, and Billy managed to vastly enhance every character—clashes between ninjas and iconic outcomes that made flipping through the pages feel like uncovering a true treasure for fans.
The chapter portrays Zabuza ambushing Team 7 on the bridge under construction. It reveals hidden lines linked to the black market and a few S-ranked villains not affiliated with the Akatsuki. A more cautious Kakashi, and a fully realized Ice Lineage used with mastery—featuring techniques from demon mirrors to snow dust that hindered breathing.
-But the artwork is still magnificent. With that alone, I can see why your series sells. I bought a few myself just to cool off. I especially like Real and Slam Dunk, but recently I started reading Van Helsing and Hellboy. –Alexander said, wrapping up his advisory role, where he modified some political ideas.
-It’s good to have fans. –Billy replied.
Not long ago, he’d seen the sales statistics and it seemed he wasn’t far from surpassing every established record in simplicity and speed. Sales of many of his iconic series were on the rise: Shaman King was nearing 80 million copies sold, One Piece was at 84 million, Evangelion had sold 135 million, Samurai Jack 115 million, Hellsing 110 million, and Real 240 million with less than one-third of the chapters published.
It had been a while since the final packing was completed—each Naruto comic carefully shipped, 41 chapters to finish the Land of Waves arc. Now, only a few spin-offs were planned, featuring missions from the rookie teams of Asuma, Kurenai, and Gai—supporting cast in lesser ways, but still part of the main story.
-This will do for the next few days, though I think it’s risky to publish only new series, like Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto –said Dave Anns, manager and administrator of Lux Comics, who usually handles sales and coordinates activities when Raimon isn’t introducing new tasks.
-I can’t wait to read every single one of them. –Dave Anns whispered, looking at the bold move of printing a million copies per volume, with Alexander having rights to another million. Still, no one truly believed Billy would push such transformations to the limit.
