Vice police chief Itachi Uchiha was called to break up a fight. When he arrived, he briefly thought about demoting himself, because this wasn't his job description.

National Holidays in the Ninja Villages + Bonus

I've had this idea in mind for a while, and now I finally got to write it down. Feel free to use these for your own works. Please tag me so I can read em all! <33

Iwagakure: The Lunar Lights of Gratitude The moon has a special place in the heart of every Iwa citizen. To them, it is a part of the earth, now observing its mother body from space. So naturally, the spectacle of a blue/super moon is a special occasion in Iwagakure. To honor and greet the moon, which is actually called "daughter" in the earth country's language, large fireworks are organized every new moon after a blue moon. As previously established, the earth country's firework industry is the largest, which Iwa shinobi are very proud of. Lighting the sky on fire and turning night into daytime is the Iwa way of giving back some of the light that the moon gives us at night.

Kirigakure: The Moonshine Sea Festival Despite the rivalry between the land of earth and the land of water, there is one thing they have in common, which is their spiritual connection to the moon and space. To water country citizens, especially the fishermen, the moon is a protector and guardian of the night, along with the stars. They strengthen the their connection to their biggest source of both faith and fear: the sea. The special climate in the water country, combined with its great biodiversity give a great habitat for biolumescent plankton, turning the sea itself into a starry night sky. It is one of the only pieces of culture that has been preserved, since the celebration itself was founded by the water country's union of fishermen, who don't belong to a particular clan with a kekkei genkai; most of the kekkei genkai wielders in Kiri have been wiped out, along with their culture, traditions and religions.

Sunagakure: Winter's Return The wind country is often ravaged by agonozingly hot summers, sand storms and heat waves are not a rarity in this country. While foreigners might groan and roll their eyes at the thought of the return to cold, foggy winter days, in Sunagakure it is a day for celebration. On the day where the sun stays for the longest, in the middle of the year, a large celebration is held across the nation. The way it is celebrated is different from family to family, and every Suna family is convinced that their way is the right one. Typically, markets are closed the whole day, and any missions rank B or below are halted for the day.

Kumogakure: Whale Festival of Generosity During winter, whales can be found emigrating along the lightning country's coast line, towards the land of iron. This holiday once came to be to celebrate the whales emigration towards a more prosperous habitat to mate and provide enough food for their young - a truly generous gesture. Over the years, many kumo shinobi have forgotten the old tale behind this festival, and it has turned into more of a mere gift giving occasion. And yet, it is widely popular and celebrated throughout the whole country.

Konoha: Cherry and Plum Blossom Viewing In Konoha, Hanami is annually celebrated. It is a custom celebrating the transitionary nature of cherry and plum blossoms blooming in spring.

BONUS: Uchiha Clan Honoring one's ancestors and traditions is of high importance to the Uchiha. Every year, on a clear fall night, the whole clan gathers together to light up little candles using their katon. The tealights are arranged in the Uchiha crest and left to light up the night and the clan share the evening together eating dinner, drinking hot tea and praying at the nakano shrine.

That's all, folks!

Fun Fact:

Did you know that apparently all the Hokage 火 have personal relations to each other and knew eachother other and 5/7 (71%) of them are related to each other being they are family as seen in the image above. But they all knew each other in some way or matter. So apparently Kakashi and Hiruzen are the only two that aren’t family members to the other Hokage.

[team7-headquarter]

Do you ever think about how the two kyubi jinchurikis previous to Naruto were married to a hokage? How the women serving as the recipient of the feared beast were some of the most beloved people of the head of the militar state?

The strongest man in the village marries the deadliest woman in the village and people were like "I trust our leader but I am terrified of his wife".

What about the children?

Not even one mention of how the Uzumaki and Senju kekkei genkais mixed. What about the contrast of the Uchihas marrying within the clan to maximize their sharingan users while the Senjus and the Uzumakis married?

There's no mention either of Hashirama and Mito's kids. Would their mixed blood make them more or less powerful? Would some of them still get the red hair? Would some of them choose to move with the majority of the Uzumaki clan? Would they rather use the last name Senju to prevent getting hunted like their cousins outside of Konohagajure?

Tell me, if Tsunade is a direct descendant of Hashirama and Tobirama, doesn't she also has Uzumaki blood from Mito?

What about the influence?

Mito raises all those children and they knew to fear the kyubi, but how did they feel about the jinchuriki? What about their mother? And how did it shape the way they would later perceive Kushina? How did the Senjus treat Kushina? Was she family to them? Had Mito any influence over how Kushina was raised and trained even as old as she was?

What type of influence did Mito have over Hashirama? Even if she never mediated on the Hokages duties, how her beliefs shaped the beliefs of her children? Of the Senju clan? Of the Uzumakis? Of the people of Konoha? When Hashirama died, did Tobirama pushed aside? Or she retired herself given her age?

When did the Uzumakis and the Senjus disappeared from Konoha? If you follow the Minato one-shot manga recently published by Kishimoto, the Uzumakis were still highly respected on Konoha-- or at least had their own space, a place to keep their legacy and train their own. So when did it all come down and when did the Senju and Uzumaki clans started dying enough to be completely gone when Naruto was born?

The Minato manga shows that Kushina was a reason for him to take certain choices. So did he have a plan to change Konoha to become a place for his wife and son to live happy and not rejected? What type or political changes would he have applied if given the chance?

The only real option to try and make sense of the history of Konoha is if you acknowledge that 1) Tobirama did make the militarization more efficient, but not necessarily made life better for everyone; 2) Hiruzen must be the WORST hokage given his indecision between doing what Tobirama did which would have turned him into Danzo or try to benefit the lives of the people under his commands even if it meant risking Konoha as a militar state.

Then again, what exactly means to have the advice of an Uzumaki woman? How does it change things? Did Mito ever tried to be the mediator between Hashirama and Madara? What could a friendship between Kushina and Mikoto could have changed the future?

Is there something to say about the positions of both Mito and Kushina as women from a clan that's hunted down for their power and that has been turned to weapons/sacrifices? How would their identities parallel the Uchiha clan?

How could this all reflect on the story and the theme of the manga?

Framing Naruto as the survivor of a genocide would have been an amazing point to meet or finally understand Sasuke in his rejection of Konoha. Sasuke saw his clan died but they denied Naruto that knowledge. Sasuke lost it but they didn't even allow Naruto to have it. Sasuke can return to the Uchiha compound and visit the sacred secrets of his people, but the story denied Naruto of that. Itachi cursed Sasuke with his choice to kill the clan in order for Sasuke to live and Konoha to be safe, Minato cursed Naruto by sealing Kurama in him to protect his life and the village. They were manipulated from the start, everyone deciding which parts of the story they got to listen to, never allowing them to decide with eyes wide open. Of course they can speak to each other without words. They don't know how similar their experiences are.

Hashirama and Minato didn't mean for the jinchurikis to be just a weapon of the state (those were their wives!!!!!!!), but Tobirama allowed that to happen and Hiruzen actively dictated rules to make sure it'll be the result (isolating Naruto from the village, like they did with the Uchiha clan). Tsunade only tried to keep things rolling, but she at least can defend with her medical achievement and the fact the system was rotten to the core when she became hokage.

Even Sakura and Hinata benefit from this, both in the deepening of their characters and the canon romantic plotlines. To be soft or wild, to be bullied by others or constantly left behind given their lovers' duties, to be raised under the pressure of a legacy or to be helpless and wanting to stop being a burden, to break the expectations and reclaim your identity, to make your own path and become a great kunoichi who can also love and fight to he loved, to be seen, to be there with the man they love.

Thinking about Mito and Kushina make me spiral because they are so important!!! Yet we don't have many mentions of them!!!! Why!!!!

HYUGA CLAN HEADCANONS

The Hyuga never had a problem with Naruto, but they were cautious of how open association with him could impact the clan given how hated the boy was.

Prior to his death, Hizashi Hyuga was one of the Anbu who watched over little Naruto, under the codename of Owl🦉.

Naruto's nickname for Hanabi is ”Little Firecracker,” which she pretends to hate, but she actually loves it.

Hinata & Hanabi are extremely ticklish.

Most of the Hyuga, Hiashi included, bet on Naruto to win when he fought Neji but never admitted it.

Many Hyuga are perverts because the temptation to peek and peep with their byakugan rivals the Uchiha's temptation towards power.

The caged bird seal the Hyuga used to enslave the side branch was originally invented by the Uzumaki clan to keep incarcerated criminals in line and swiftly end prison riots.

The Hyuga knew about Ao's byakugan eye the whole time.

Hiashi entrusted Kurenai with Hinata because she reminded him of Hinata's mother, which he'll never admit.

The Hyuga have a betting pool.

They find it amusing that people mistake them for being blind

The Hyuga clan enjoys hearing about the antics of Naruto, Konohamaru & Anko

Hinata & Hanabi's mother was besties with Kushina, Tsume and Mikoto.

Hiashi was almost considered for the position of 4th Hokage.

Hiashi acts cold towards Hinata in public to keep up appearances, but in private he's a big ole softy who loves her and makes sure she knows it.

Hiashi and his wife were among the few who knew Kushina was the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and that she was expecting a child.

They'd be perfect medic-nins with their exceptional chakra control and byakugan.

Somewhere, there's a timeline in which Tobirama assigned the Uchiha to be the village's therapists instead of ninja cops cause he realized how useful the Sharingan would be for helping people get over their PTSD, and the entire history of Konoha gets much less fucked up as a result.

Then again maybe it'd make more sense for Hashirama to come up with the idea instead and put it in place before Tobirama takes over.

[aloeverified]

while i'm on the topic of the villages being based on different countries, konoha being based on japan and china is so fun – especially when you think of the different influences for each clan.

i love the idea of the uchiha being similar to the ainu people of japan. they're one of the first two clans in konoha, which goes well with the idea of them being indigenous, and it also allows you to mess with the idea of them being the most traditional because of their native identity.

along with that, there's the idea of tenten (someone who has more chinese influence in her outfit than other characters) being from a more chinese indigenous inspired family whose a sub-ethnic group of the miao, maybe like the hmong people?

or the hyūga being most similar to ethnonational japanese people and having the most unfiltered japanese influence, or even being inspired by the first japanese group, the yayoi people.

anyways, people should open their minds to the hidden villages being inspired by more countries than just japan.
