Ancestor Apocrypha: Fills in the gaps of Shinobi History with original characters that enhance and explain, not erase, the Naruto-world's lore.
Bonus Chapters: Expand the backstory and explore character's before the main story of NIDARS.
Holiday Chapters: Focus on integrating real world holidays (particularly Japanese culture ones) into Naruto-world appropriate traditions.
Mission Logs: Sidestories covering non-main plot missions.
Omake: Goofy nonsense, largely non-canon, humorous parodies.

This story is 99% of what I do with my day (this isn't a joke). I am heavily considering splitting the longer chapters from the earlier arcs into smaller, multiple chapters. If you have any opinions on this, please comment and let me know. <3
