''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9427112/1/The-Tale-of-Nagato-Uzumaki The Tale of Nagato Uzumaki]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1389929/YAXON YAXON]] is a ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' story of [[ForWantOfANail what would have happened if]], after training with Jiraiya for two years, Nagato, Yahiko and Konan decided to follow their sensei back to Konoha instead of staying in Ame and trying to overthrown Hanzo on their own. Naturally, their presence in Konoha causes many events to take different turns from canon, ending in a completely different story.

** Despite not spending too much time in Konoha, [[spoiler: Karin]] considers it to be her home because she has actual family there in the form of Nagato, his kids, and Naruto. It also helps that she is treated as a person instead of an asset by them. In canon, she and Naruto hardly interact and she and Nagato don't likely even know each other.

** Obito serves as Naruto's mentor instead being an enemy. In addition, he isn't Madara's apprentice in this fic, [[spoiler: Shisui]] is.

* TheChainsOfCommand: It takes no time for [[spoiler: Nagato]] to see that being Hokage is an incredibly demanding and taxing job.

** Later, Rin also becomes this to Naruto, especially after [[spoiler: she becomes the jinchuuriki of the Three-Tails.]]

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler: Instead of committing suicide, Danzo is killed by Nagato when the latter finds all the extreme, and perhaps illegal, acts he did in the name of Konoha]].

** The Uchiha Clan is spared from their genocidal fate because [[spoiler: Nagato kills Danzō before the latter can give Itachi the order]].

* YouAreInCommandNow: After Minato's death, [[spoiler: Nagato]] reluctantly decides to honor Minato's last wishes and becomes the Fifth Hokage.

** Sakura is handled to deal with the shinobi world due to being placed in Kurenai’s team and the jonin taking a more hands on approach with her training.

* AdaptationalNameChange: Due to the nail, the organization tasked in carrying out Madara’s plans is simply called Moon’s Eye.

** Haku and Zabuza are not only villainous here, but are also members of the Moon’s Eye (the organization tasked in carrying Madara’s plans in this fic).

-->'''Shikamaru''': I'm starting to like this guy.
-->'''Kakashi''': I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

* OriginalCharacter: Mostly subverted. Some characters may appear to be [=OCs=], but they are actually very minor canon characters (though some of them are anime-only characters), such as [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ajisai Ajisai]], [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kyūsuke Kyūsuke]] or [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izumi Izumi Uchiha]]. The author has claimed to greatly dislike [=OCs=], and none will be featured in the story if it can be avoided. The only notable exceptions are Nagato and Konan’s children.

** Because of the fic’s premise, Yahiko doesn’t die.
** Rin isn’t forced to end her life after becoming the Sanbi Jinchuriki.
** Sakumo isn’t DrivenToSuicide in story.
** Hizashi doesn’t sacrifice his life to save Hiashi’s since Yahiko is the one who killed Kumo’s Head Ninja.

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Averted. Mizuki is deal with in a smilar but still diferent way than in canon, the Wave Arc is entirely ignored (thanks to Gatou being murdered by Zabuza and Kakuzu long before Tazuna hires Konoha for help) , and thus Team 7's first C-rank mission is something different (albeit it's also an escort job) and it's done alongside Team Gai.

* YouAreInCommandNow: After Minato's death, [[spoiler: Nagato]] reluctantly decides to honor Minato's last wishes and becomes the Fifth Hokage.

** Due to not dying after having Isobu sealed inside her and having the seal properly managed, Rin is a lot more stronger, especially taking into account that Isobu is willing to help her.
