RE: What You Want To Read
Over 2 years later and I got curious to see if any of my wishes have been fulfilled.

Minato as the main character who's survived the Kyuubi and continued to reign as Hokage.
Well, no. Menace's Radiant Nights does have Minato and Kushina survive though and his Don't Blink quest has a younger Minato as a main character.
Naruto with Wood, Ice or Lava Release.
Yes? Menace's Written in Reverse has a Wood Release!Naruto though it's something that comes up along the way rather than being a main point. It doesn't quite work like the standard Wood Release either.
I'd still like to see a proper one and I wouldn't mind Ice Release!Naruto but I couldn't care less about Lava Release anymore what with all those silly variations.
Naruto, Sasuke, Lee and Neji have been put on the same team and take on a dangerous adventure filled with asskicking and bromance.
Almost. Again, Radiant Nights was going to have Naruto, Sasuke and Neji team up for a mission at least but it's missing Lee and hasn't actually done anything yet.

It'd be nice to see more stories that start after Part 1, regardless of whether any changes have been made before then or not. Drop me in media res and introduce me to any divergences as we go along.
None that I can recall. Just Not Sick but I think that's what inspired this anyway.

I want a story where Naruto doesn't leave the village for years.
Nope.
And I want a story that starts with Sasuke losing at the Valley of the End. I don't think I've ever seen that done well.
Nope.
I want more stories where Naruto and Gaara get to be bros (before he's too busy being Kazekage).
Written in Reverse was starting down that road.

What I'd like to see is a world without Akatsuki. The individuals that made it up are still around for the most part but they're no longer confined to hunting down tailed beasts. They're just doing their own thing. Maybe they never left their home villages, maybe they're still missing-nin but causing trouble in entirely different ways or it could be a mix.
No...? Shinobi: Team 7 was doing
something different with Akatsuki but I don't remember what exactly.

I'd like to see a real Fourth Shinobi War where war breaks out between the five great nations and all those caught in-between.
Nope.

I'd like a story where the secondary, antagonistic characters get more mileage and development. Such as Haku, Juugo, Karin and the Sound Five. A story where these guys don't get killed or totally sidelined and become prominent characters with real development would be nice.
Hmm. Dreaming of Sunshine has had Haku show up for the second Chuunin Exams and some members of the Sound Five are still around (if imprisoned and irrelevant), Better Left Unsaid has Haku around in the Kirigakure-related arc and at least didn't have the S5 killed until post timeskip and the Haku-centric Kirigakure's Shore was completed recently but I'd been following that anyway.
...Well, that's disappointing.
