Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve
[A Naruto Fan Fiction]
Make the best of what you have, they said... But what I am supposed to do when the best I have are red-eyed freaks, a child who's supposed to be the jailor of the most dangerous being in the world, a snake bastard with serious boundary issues, and a whole world of super soldiers with licences to murder.
And you know the best part? None of them like me so much...
Oh shut it, old man! Take that Will of Fire and shove it up your—
Yeah, this second swing at life isn't panning out...
---------------------------------------------------------------
What to expect:
- Gradual strength progression. Meaningful growth. The MC is a normal guy dumped into the Narutoverse, starts out weak and has to work and struggle for everything he gains.
- "Slow" paced. My writing style is a zoomed-in look camera that follows the protagonist. It might seem slow, but I ensure something is always happening to progress the plot forward.
- Gritty and often bloody fights and actions scenes with a focus on taijutsu—you'll see individual combat, team fights, and large-scale battle.
- A different take on the Narutoverse. The world is full of superhuman mercenaries with liscenes-to-kill—that along with the protagonist's struggles paint the world in a much darker light.
- Additions and expansion to the "chakra" power system. I consider myself a conservative when it comes to adapting the power system—and aim to retain the original feel while highlighting the best parts.
- The Outsider's Resolve version of Narutoverse uses the [Naruto Manga] as the base—with additions from anime, books, and even Boruto (though very less likely).

There are stories with op mcs and there are stories that go too far into the opposite direction. It's clear at times how the author tries to portray a desperate situation even if it doesn't make any sense. Biggest gripe about this story is the inconsistent characterization of the Mc, one day the author portrays him as a young adult fully aware of consequences, objectivity and long term planning. Next time he writes him as a 6 year old kid. Why not ask his peers or teachers to review the curriculum? Why is he even training if he knows genin are child soldiers? Would being bullied by kids really bother a 20 year old transmigrator? If that's what the author intended he should've the Mc should have been at least aware of the discrepancy.
just stop man. this is insufferable. mc is pathetic beta and idiot. Mf got into coma at the thought of not being able to use chakara. Didn’t he watched the fillers. The method to become op in Narutos World is unlimited.
overrated garbage. nothing else. mc is beta trash and pathetic. i mean i have read tons of trash fanfic before but even in them mc wasn’t this much pathetic. So sorry man. I tried my best to see any hidden buildup or anything that you might be building in the fic. But all I found was garbage.
please don't rate it because of his old work, this story is full of angst and depression if that is to your liking feel free to read it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
It's pretty boring so far, Feels like a nothing burger, I get having a slow buildup and all but this just doesn't feel like a satisfying read to me. All you get is a desperate mc and all you feel is pity for him and that's all, The writing quality is good but the progression is not and that's all I have to say. Will update the review depending on whether the novels gets good or bad.(Some people might complain that it's too early to judge the novel in just the first 12 chapters but I think it's fair, people are even giving the fic 5 star just on the basis of his previous novels, so I think it's fair)
Woah-woah-woah, it is naruto fic from FictionOnlyReader, I really believe that it will be a great story. Good luck author.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i really enjoyed your previous work. but this is very boring. seems like the mc is regressing. the mc really has nothing that makes me want to like them so far. with quin i loved instantly. this mc is just pitiful. i'm going to let this build up for a bit. i shall come back in a month hopefully something might happen that makes me want to continue reading. if i could stick through the sin vault arc. i can make it through this. best wishes
If you are massecist, likes angst, seeing how phatic the mc is it's for you. It's a waste of time also ruining any good mood. The hope that things will change has been crushed after reading till 17 chapter and still mc being a weakling in world will no hope.
It’s crazy how used to ’instant-OP’ MC’s people are.. this is an incredibly down-to-earth and realistic approach of something who went through a bunch of traumatic experiences and is having a hard time catching up. Is It perfect? Of course not lol. But it’s approach is something you really don’t see that often in this series and that alone makes it unique and (imo) fun to read. Can’t wait to enjoy more of it 🥂
I'm finally ready to review this, I think most positive reviews are cuz of the previous work of the author but the mc is having too much discrepancy, I get the author wants to portray the feeling of the mc but wanting to cry cuz he missed targets, that just seems awkward, I'll just say I'm not feeling the story, I get the author doesn't want to do the op mc stuff, doing the opposite is ok but this is going to far especially with the unnecessary angst
Tldr; It is a mixed bag with the potential to get better. The story is realistic and I’m fine with the pacing, the problem is the MC is average at best in terms of intelligence and below average in creativity so without plot armor I do not see how he will survive. Longer review: Believe it or not, I don’t dislike how the MC is being beaten down. The idea of dropping a competent mc into a rough situation and seeing him fulfillingly get stronger bit by bit can make for an excellent story. My issue is that the mc does not appear to be competent at all. Sure, he seems to be quite hardworking and has passable willpower. But he is incredibly uncreative and dull. Seeing an average person thrown into a very miserable situation is not particularly fun to read because without plot armor that average person will die 99% of the time. Thus, I feel like the author will have to introduce plot armor or to suddenly drastically increase the MCs intelligence if he does not want the MC to die the second he meets the enemy, and that makes for poor writing.
I had higher expectation but it seems like your lost in what to do here
In the name of all the saints, what a nightmare.... At this rate, the Main character will become at least a little stronger by the time the main cast of characters leaves the academy, or by chapter 50. Or we won't see it and the author will drop it....
I get you wanted to do a flip from your last two OP mc’s, but you went to far the other way! He’s plain boring!! From his lack of talent to his thought process, he’s boring with no redeeming qualities. The eternal gennin was a cool choice at first, but the mc barely improved still, and the character is just as bland as the mc. Please either give him a crumb of talent in ANYTHING, or do a timeskip to where he not constantly moping about being bad.
Just trust the reviews this is by far the worst naruto fanfic to ever exit. The author itself has good writing skills but the story development is just trash the plot is too boring.
