Along The Path Of Vengeance(Sasuke/Mha crossover(Naruto)

Afterwords

Hello everyone. If you've made it this far through the story, then thank you, truly. I'm going to start out with a bit about myself, followed by my writing process for this story, then some fun facts about the inverse story itself, and finally the future moving forward and any potential Q&A.

I started this story a few months after I graduated High School at 17 back in 2022. I'm 20 years old now in 2025, years into learning a trade. A lot has changed since then and I've tried to evolve my writing style overtime.

After finishing my Itachi/Injustice story, I started writing this story for the same reasons. Basically being that I got randomly interested in the crossover idea due to finding a cool Sasuke/Mha story with only a few chapters in it(that only covered up to the Sports Festival) that hadn't been updated in years. So seeing that, I decided that I had to be the guy that completed a story with an idea that was this interesting.

Initially, I started out by rewatching anime episodes to help me write chapters, but I quickly found this too slow, so I picked up the Manga online and caught up to it while it was still releasing at the time. I had to make a couple Google docs dedicating to brainstorming the story and logging info and ideas like planned flashbacks and powerups and such. Also if anyone wants to see, I have it logged which chapters I had to read and use to help write different chapters.

Of course I had some external help making the story too. Mainly grammarly(I'll leave this Afterwords untouched by Grammarly to show the difference). And I never wanted to pay for a beta-reader so I think I ended up swapping between around 5 different editors over the course of the story, which sometimes delayed uploading times due to their constant inconsistency. The latest one is a good guy though who was a fan of the story.

Around chapter 30-40 I also started using Claude to make up for the lack of editors at the time. Dont worry guys my story isnt AI generated at all its still original lol. It was helpful in the form of reviews and pointing out flaws in different places though.

Unfortunately my writing for this story has been a lot more inconsistent than the Itachi story, and I dont really know why. Strangely enough for 3 summers in a row I had these periods where I posted nothing for at least 2 months at a time. I somewhat broke that cycle this time around though.

Something that I think can help a lot of people who get writers block is sort of treating your online writing identity like an alter-ego. Develop your own personal ritual using maybe candles or something else and make your subconscious mind recognize a mental trigger like "Insert online-username, awaken." Something like that. It was very helpful for me at least. Recently I ended up hitting a personal writing record for myself for words in 1 day for the story. 4.2K words.

The story ended up waaaaay longer than I ever thought it would be, but maybe that's a good thing considering people thought my other story was too short. It was sometimes a struggle figuring out what to and not to write considering a lot of things were dialog people already heard, so I tried either making it different or diverting away to other conversations at the same time. It's funny that originally I wasnt sure if the story would even be 100K words. And now by the end it's around 230K.

Also when I started the story, I had no plans for any Naruto characters besides Sasuke to be apart of the story, and his only other quirk was supposed to be Amenotejikara instead of the 4 he ended up having. Nowadays though I cant imagine what the story would have been like if I didn't introduce quirk duplication, Akatsuki members, Danzo, etc. It's better off how it is now.

As for the story itself now to address some things, the EU collapsed and after a short string of civil wars new governments emerged that were collaborative, but not to the same extent. China has remained mostly the same with a different family taking power, and by the modern day Lee has managed to reach rank 2 in his country, but he'll get to rank 1 eventually.

In America, Minato becomes the first president since FDR to get elected more than 2 times(this is far into the future though).

Back in Japan, most of the societal changes are very similar to what the last few chapters of the story already covers, so I didnt wanna retred too much of the same boring stuff.

Hawks has become the HPSC President, Nagant has retired from hero work and settled down, Edgeshot got married to a certain someone, and I'll leave other potential ships up to interpretation.

I'm overall satisfied with the story, my main concern when I was writing was my use of symbolism and setting. Ultimately though I would like to hear how the readers would view and rate my story. Both praise and criticism.

Moving forward from here, I previously promised people that I would try to make a Injustice 2 Special Chapters release that addresses what the events of Injustice 2 would look like in my Itachi story, so I'll work on that soon enough.

But after I finish that, there's 2 paths I'm thinking of moving in. And it mostly depends on how confident I become in my writing ability by the end of this year.

One path I can go in is an idea a reader gave me about a story of either a Uchiha or the entire Akatsuki being in a Marvel storyline of some kind. Although, at the moment I have no idea what would be an interesting Marvel storyline(like DC's Injustice comics) to follow this through with. You people can help give me ideas for that.

The other path I can go into is writing the original story Ive had planned for a year now. Considering my roots as the Uchiha crossover guy, I can guess that most of my readers wouldn't be interested, but that's alright. I have always wanted to write a genuinely great piece of Literature or two, and me writing these two fanfics so far has been rooted both in passion for the fanfic idea, and improving my writing ability to the level I can make my idea as good of a story as it could possibly be.

At the moment, I'm leaning more towards writing my original story after the Injustice continuation, but if the Marvel idea is interesting enough, and if I dont feel confident enough in my writing yet, this can change.

That is everything I have wanted to say. Once again thank you all for reading my story, and if you guys have any questions then I will answer them to the best of my ability.
