It's a pacing issue for me. If the first 50k words are a beat-for-beat replay of the Academy and Wave, I'm gone. Use the original plot as shorthand. We know what happened. Glide over it unless your character actively alters it. The balance isn't 50/50; it's 90/10 in favor of the new stuff. The canon events that do happen should feel like background noise to the SI's main conflict, which should be something the original story never addressed.

Most discussions I've seen get this wrong, treating it like a homework assignment where you need a perfect formula. The whole point of a reincarnated SI premise is the outsider's perspective, right? So if you're slavishly recreating every single story beat from 'Naruto', you've lost that. The Station of Canon is a trap, not a goal.
I look for fics where the protagonist's presence genuinely warps the timeline. Maybe they prevent the Uchiha massacre by leaking info to Fugaku, or they tip off Jiraiya about Pain earlier. Even small changes, like Naruto having one competent friend who teaches him better chakra control, should ripple out. If the Wave Arc plays out exactly the same with an extra person there, I'm clicking out. The original plot is a baseline to measure deviation against, not a script to follow.
That said, ignoring it completely is just lazy world-building. You can't have Konoha exist without the foundational events that shaped it. The trick is showing how your SI's knowledge is imperfect or becomes obsolete fast because of the butterfly effect. That's where the tension is.

Honestly, I get why writers stick close to canon, especially newer ones. The 'Naruto' world is huge and complex, and having the familiar plot as a backbone helps them focus on their OC's internal journey or power scaling. I've dropped fics that went completely off the rails by chapter three because the writer clearly hadn't planned how to build a coherent new conflict without the Akatsuki or Orochimaru as a crutch.
A balanced approach I like is when the SI tries to change things but faces systemic resistance or unintended consequences. Saving Haku and Zabuza might seem good, but then you have to deal with two missing-nin with no village, which creates a whole new political mess. That feels more real than effortlessly fixing everything. The original plot provides the gravity; the story is about the struggle to escape or reshape that gravity.
I guess my tolerance is higher for canon re-treads if the character voice is fantastic. If the SI's commentary on events is hilarious or painfully relatable, I'll follow it like a reaction fic.

If you had a chance to be reborn into a new world, would you change anything? A series of stories of being reborn and changing ones fate.

Elina thought she had hit rock bottom.
She lost her job. Her therapy session dredged up memories of the ex-boyfriend who stalked and traumatized her. The only thing she had left to look forward to was the finale of her favorite fantasy series, Moonbound Faith.
Then the show ended.
The heroes won. The villain died. Everyone got their happily-ever-after.
That same night, a knock at her door shatters what little peace she has left.
Her ex is standing outside.
The man who was supposed to be in prison.
Forced to flee into a storm, Elina runs until she reaches the edge of a cliff with nowhere left to go. Faced with a choice between death and returning to the man who destroyed her life, she jumps.
But instead of dying, she wakes up inside Moonbound Faith.
Not as the heroine.
Not as a side character.
But as Luna—the infamous villainess whose tragic death she celebrated only hours before.
Determined to survive, Elina plans to use her knowledge of the story to change her fate. But everything she thought she knew begins to unravel when a small boy tugs on her sleeve and calls her one word:
“Mom.”
The original story never mentioned a child.
And when Elina uncovers the truth behind his existence, she realizes something terrifying.
The villainess was never the villain.
The story lied.
And the ending she remembers may not be the ending waiting for her at all.
The first thing I do after being reborn is secretly keeping six stunning male models behind my wealthy husband’s back. I seduce them and sleep with them for 999 days to get myself pregnant.
I do all this because in my past life, my husband found out that he had asthenozoospermia and married me because I am known for being fertile. He wants to carry on the family line so that he will have a successor to inherit the family fortune.
I try everything I can to get pregnant, but nothing works.
Conversely, my infertile best friend gives birth to twins and triplets within two years after marrying a 70-year-old man.
When my wealthy husband hears that my best friend is blessed with children, he is immediately captivated.
They get together behind my back and even arrange for someone to run me over with a car when I find out the truth.
After my death, I discover that my best friend has bound herself to the child switch system.
Any child I am impregnated with is transferred into her womb.
My best friend's infertility is transferred to me in return.
When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day when my husband married me and brought me home.
I smile happily when I think about all the things that took place in my past life. My best friend wants lots of children, doesn't she? If so, I will make her experience the joy of having 18 babies in one pregnancy!
Al, was thrown into another world for no apparent reason. A new world filled with magical things. However, this wasn't the first time he had been reincarnated. He thought he was just an ordinary youth, but it turned out that his identity was so extraordinary in his first reincarnation. There were his harems still waiting for his arrival. Will he meet them soon and what will happen?
A thirty-year-old office lady, who got into an accident and is now trapped inside a novel series she loves. She was reincarnated into one of the side character extras of the story and meets in person the tyrant magician, the playboy prince, and the clueless female lead of the story.
Vera fought for her life in the apocalypse for ten years.
Ten brutal years left her disfigured, hungry, and almost broken, but she still clawed her way through it. She killed zombies, ran from mutated animals, starved, bled, and learned humans were often more dangerous than monsters.
Then her brother, the only family she had left, betrayed her.
Vera thought death had finally come.
Instead, she woke up inside a trashy book she once read to stay sane while the old world fell apart. A book with a twisted plot and too much drama.
And because her luck had always been terrible, Vera did not wake up as the heroine.
No, of course not.
Her second chance was to become the hated second female lead, pregnant, unwanted, and written to die when the plot no longer needed her. Her babies were supposed to die too. Even the three men who got her pregnant were written as future corpses, all to push the story toward spoiled women and one psychotic male lead.
But Vera was not the woman from the book.
She had survived one ruined world. She had not walked through radioactive rain and eaten mutated food just to cry over fantasy characters or beg for love inside a stupid plot.
So Vera adapted.
She accepted her punishment, took her three unborn babies, and left for the garbage center without making a scene. Everyone thought she had been thrown away.
Vera saw a chance to make money, protect her babies, and build something of her own.
Now the woman meant to disappear is building a wasteland empire, breaking the plot, and driving three men insane because she no longer chases anyone.
By every rule in that world, Vera should be dead.
But dying a second time was never an option.
