It doesn't ignore canon while giving room to have a change in the setting's landscape. Also, I don't like people relating themselves directly with canon characters or "fanonizing" shipping pairs: ie. "Shikamaru and Temari totes got married and had a son that's my character" or "my character totes married Kakashi".

Agreed. At least two decades needs to have passed to give enough time for a new generation of kids to have grown up and then some since the war. That puts some distance between the canon and this, time for the canon characters to die or become irrelevant, and allows us to focus on our tales.
