#og team 7

Frothing at the mouth about the chapters when Kakashi puts team 7 in for the chunin exams. Iruka thinks Kakashi's the kind of person to put the kids in when they weren't ready, sure:

But so does Gai:

Kakashi pulls rank on Iruka and tries to joke it off with Gai, but neither time did he defend himself with "I know they're ready, trust me." Did he not think the cold-blooded friend-killer could appeal to trust? Did he not think he had the right to defend his own character? Either way it's aaaaargh

(and. by the way. team 7 were absolutely ready for the exams (including sakura!!!), as spelled out by canon through Iruka:

and also all three frankly needed it. naruto and sasuke both a) needed to meet more people their rank who could kick their asses and b) would have clearly vibrated out of their bodies if they didn't progress further for a whole 'nother year. and sakura desperately, desperately needed have a fight on her own, and also to punch ino in the face. for her confidence, you understand.

and if the chunin exam hadn't been a clusterfuck of orochimaru and sand-nin on beast-steroids, they would have kicked ass! all three of them! in fact, the chunin exams were a clusterfuck and they still did great. it was great for all three of their progressions! multiple extenuating circumstances gathered together to push sasuke off the deep end afterwards, and it still very very nearly didn't work because the little bastard had learnt friendship! kakashi wasn't wrong at all!)

genin sasuke you will always be famous

[im-still-watching-anime]

orochimaru: hey everyone i know i’m kind of a prisoner but i made this new thing that’s evil and fucked up

naruto: …sasuke can you PLEASE kill him again

sasuke: you say that but you’re literally the only one stopping me from killing people at any given moment

*at an awards show* Naruto: Can I carry you on my back like Kakashi did? Sakura: I don't think Sasuke would like that. Naruto: *pouts* *Later* Naruto: *carrying Sakura on their back* Sasuke: What the hell?? Sakura: What was I supposed to do? Say no?

a brief respite

Ugh! Eek! It's chakra! Whoa!

Quick question for anyone who sees. I went on Picrew because I can’t draw but I wanted a visual on my little OC genins and I’m torn on my visuals.

I like my Hyuuga. Her name is Chiharu. This is Chi’s live reaction to learning who her teammates are.

In her defense, one is unhinged and the other is a little shit.

But I cannot decide what coloring on who I like more for the other two. Tsurigane (girl, left, unhinged) and Kaito (boy, right, little shit extraordinaire).

Or

I want to have a blond(e), brunet(te), and redhead trio. Ignore the eye color, what hair color looks better?

Naruto during the chunin exams when Sasuke and Sakura start arguing about some tattoo in the line behind him:

Okay first of all not only is everything they say about the wanting Hinata instead of Sakura on Team 7 things correct, but it would also completely alter the storyline.

Sasuke and Naruto are rivals and they push each other way to far.

Sakura is there to mellow them out.

You really think Hinata would be able to chill them at all?

No.

Secondly, having someone with byakugan on the team from the start would have ruined every surprise moment team 7 reveal.

Sensory nin would have seen threw everything before Sasuke in the Forest of Death In the Chinnin exams.

We never would have learned their strengths or weaknesses at because this start what we learn how skilled ninja even genin must be how manipulative other ninja are.

The password and Sasuke immediately setting it as a trap for someone who isn't Naruto.

Moment one they're beginning watched.

Meanwhile Naruto is being eaten by a literal snake.

Hinata Byukugan would have easily seen this and we would know next to nothing about how well trained you have to be to survive a leveling in your own hidden village as a ninja.

Third Hinata habit of fainting over Naruto would have definitely backwheeled them.

Seriously she can't be that close to him all the time it won't work here's why.

Sakura faints during the exam with Kakashi but Hinata is shy-shy, she faints very easily and it's not her fault really you think as a Pro-Sakura medically this is due to her being unable to handle her blood pressure going up so high.

She very level and cool except around him.

And it's not a weakness.

It's a sensitively that REAL PEOPLE have to being in situations.

High blood pressure for someone who stays at low blood pressure medically does not work.

Also Sakura begging Naruto to bring Sasuke back would have Been as heartrenching cause they wouldn't be bonded.

SasuSaku would not have happened considering all they went threw together as genin.

Seriously people if you want me to truly tell you all the facts that would completely f*** up this story by changing Sakura and Hinata on Team 7 I have about 70 different one in mind just ask.
